Chapter 36: Miss Zhao San without scheming
Zhao Siyin frowned and looked at her mother puzzled: "How can this be?" Didn't my grandmother say yes? ”
"Your grandmother agreed, but who knew that Gu Chenfeng would suddenly come out and say that the Gu family had prepared a master for him, what kind of family is the Gu family? Can your grandmother refute his face? I was so busy that I agreed, and I didn't even have a chance to buffer! The eldest lady said hatefully: "Even if the two of them coach together, it's not impossible, and our Zhao family can't afford to raise it!" ”
Zhao Siyin shook her head: "Grandmother will not agree, if she chooses two masters, it seems that she is not worried about the Gu family's candidates, and grandmother will not make the Gu family unhappy because of such a trivial matter." ”
The eldest lady only complained, she also knew her mother-in-law's character, she was angry: "In order to make your grandmother have nothing to say, I made your uncle say a lot of good things, put down his body, and sent a lot of good things to persuade the person to agree, now it's okay, don't use it if you don't use it, how can I explain to your uncle when I go back?!" ”
Regarding the matter of choosing a master, the eldest lady is indeed attentive, and the person who chooses is really true, after all, she also wants to teach her son, so the eldest lady has put a lot of thought into this candidate, but Gu Chenfeng's words disrupted all her plans.
"Originally, I was thinking that I would find a good master and let Wen Kang compare that and Wen Xi, and then I would have the status of master and apprentice with Chenfeng, and it would be convenient to plan for you in the future, what a good way to do it!" The eldest lady felt unwilling as long as she thought about it.
Zhao Siyin frowned, a gleam flashed in her eyes, she thought of Zhao Siyin, and couldn't help but raise her head: "Mother, do you say it's the second aunt......
At the mention of the Liu family, the eldest lady pursed her lips with some disdain: "Just her? Hmph, after a military general, she doesn't even dare to speak out loud in front of your grandmother, and she is stupid by nature, if she can have such means, she will not be disgusted by the old lady to this point! ”
When Zhao Siyin thought of Liu's appearance, she also felt a little impossible, "But, what about the third sister?" She is very smart, mother, do you know, the last time she went to the Lantern Festival, she was also in the limelight, and she also made Gu Gongzi look at her with admiration, and Shiziye, I always felt that during that time in Zhuangzi, what happened to Shiziye and her. ”
"How could the prince fall in love with her? You're thinking about it, aren't you? I've already inquired, the prince used to be known for her when he was in Beijing, how could he fall in love with a little girl like her? The eldest lady said indifferently: "She is indeed a little smart, but she is only smart, otherwise she will not be punished to Zhuangzi." ”
Zhao Siyin frowned, in fact, she didn't agree with the eldest lady's statement, but it was not good to refute her directly.
"But this time it's clear that someone is sabotaging." Zhao Siyin said with a frown.
A flash of anger flashed in the eldest lady's eyes: "It must be your aunt, she used to be a troublesome person when she didn't go out, and she used to pretending, but now she has become like this, and she dares to make waves!" ”
Zhao Siyin didn't think so, she thought about it, but said: "But the master's matter has nothing to do with my aunt, and it won't affect her, why did she do this?" ”
The eldest lady sneered, patted her hand and said: "Yin'er, you are still too kind, I don't know your aunt, your aunt has always had a heart higher than the sky, married a wishful husband, but she still died and left, she didn't give birth to a son, and finally couldn't keep the family property and returned to her parents' house, she was not convinced, seeing Kang'er so smart and sensible, she was jealous!" ”
Zhao Siyin felt a little uneasy, "But now that my aunt lives in the house, why do you want to offend my mother?" ”
"What else could it be for? It's not for Gu Gongzi! The eldest lady said: "She has no son, only a daughter, naturally I want to find a good family for her, you look better than Wanying, and you are more gentle and generous than her, she naturally can't pretend to be light." ”
The more the eldest lady said, the more she felt that this was the case, and she swore solemnly: "Yin'er, don't worry, my mother will never let their mother and daughter get in your way!" ”
Zhao Siyin thought about it, but looked at the eldest lady tentatively: "Mother, if Gu Gongzi has no intention of having a daughter, there is no need for her daughter to come up." ”
The eldest lady was surprised: "Yin'er, why do you think so?" ”
The mother and daughter have also discussed before, and the eldest lady has always felt that even women should have their own opinions, so she has never shied away from Zhao Siyin about these things, but will ask her opinion, and if she agrees with the two of them, she will make plans.
The same is true for Gu Chenfeng, if Zhao Siyin is unwilling, the eldest lady will not work so hard.
I have to say that the eldest lady is actually a very good mother, and her method is not wrong, but she is not very smart.
Zhao Siyin lowered her gaze: "I just think that Gu Gongzi may not be the most suitable person," after a pause, she said in a low voice: "My daughter wants to be a master, and she doesn't want to see other people's faces to live." ”
The eldest lady's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, she smiled and patted Zhao Siyin's hand, and praised: "It is worthy of being my daughter, she is ambitious!" After a pause, she said again: "Do you think Gu Gongzi is inappropriate?" ”
Gu Chenfeng is the best person they can contact at the moment, but looking at Zhao Siyin's appearance, they are not satisfied?
Zhao Siyin said casually: "Isn't there another one?" It doesn't necessarily have to be Gu Gongzi. ”
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of who she was talking about, "You mean the prince?" She couldn't help but look stunned.
Zhao Siyin raised her head and met the eyes of the eldest lady, her eyes were calm, Zhao Siyin at this time had a little imagination with Zhao Siyan, but unfortunately, a flash of ambition flashed in her eyes, destroying the agility of her eyes.
"After all, the prince is a member of the royal family." Zhao Siyin said lightly.
They have a natural sense of reverence for the royal family, and the royal blood is even superior, and if they marry the clan, in their eyes, it is a status symbol.
But the eldest lady hesitated: "But I heard that the situation of the Yi Wangfu is not very good, otherwise the prince would not have been sent to Dengzhou by the emperor, which clan child have you ever seen sent to join the army?" ”
Zhao Siyin said: "But the only royal family we can contact is him." ”
The eldest lady choked.
The eldest lady thought about it, but still shook her head: "No, no, my mother can't let you take risks, this matter is not good!" ”
The eldest lady loves wealth and nobility, but she also has a bottom line, Yi Wangfu is too unstable, she is not adventurous.
Zhao Siyin didn't persuade again, she saw that Gu Chenfeng had no intention of her, the eldest lady couldn't find a better candidate than Gu Chenfeng, and she was definitely unwilling to choose an ordinary son-in-law.
Thinking of Li Junze, that handsome young man, Zhao Siyin's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of longing.
The eldest wife and Zhao Siyin did not reach a consensus on the choice of son-in-law, but the eldest lady hated Zhao Qingru, if it weren't for Zhao Qingru, it wouldn't have ruined her good deeds.
The eldest lady is the housekeeper, naturally there are several ways to suppress Zhao Qingru, and it can also be done so that Zhao Qingru can't say that he is bitter, and Zhao Qingru can't go to Mrs. Zhao to complain every time, right? If there are too many times, Mrs. Zhao is afraid that she will be annoyed, and it will be difficult to do it when there is really something in the future.
This time, it was Chen Wanying who couldn't stand it anymore and came to Zhao Qingru to complain.
"Mother, the eldest aunt is really getting more and more excessive, the dinner sent by the big kitchen today can't see any meat, and half of it is cold dishes!" Chen Wanying said with a displeased face: "This has not reached a conclusion with the Gu family's family affairs, and the eldest aunt can't look at us well!" ”
Zhao Qingru frowned, and said coldly: "Your eldest aunt has always been a kind and bitter-hearted person, and she is used to pretending, otherwise how can she trap your grandmother?" ”
Chen Wanying said angrily again: "I asked the maid to go to the big kitchen to question, who knew that the cook in the big kitchen said that we have to keep filial piety, naturally it is not good to have big fish and meat, so it is deliberately light, mother, even a cook doesn't look at you in your eyes, does this Zhao family still have a foothold for us?" ”
In the past, Zhao Qingru and Chen Wanying used the excuse of missing their deceased husband and deceased father, and the old lady Zhao felt even more sorry for them, but now the eldest lady is using this excuse, since she is so sad, she naturally doesn't have to eat well.
Zhao Qingru glanced at her coldly: "Otherwise, what do you want to do with your mother?" In the past, before I got married, this was my home, but now our mother and son can only be regarded as sending people under the fence! ”
Chen Wanying's face turned pale, but her eyes were red, and she said indignantly: "Mother, my daughter must get ahead, let my mother raise her eyebrows, and no one dares to bully our mother and daughter!" ”
Zhao Qingru's face softened slightly, she touched her daughter's face, thought about it, but said: "But it's not so easy for others to humiliate our mother and daughter," after a pause, a gleam flashed in her eyes, and she said disdainfully: "That Wang's family, just by virtue of a background, thought that he could be a powerful man in the Zhao family?" ”
Chen Wanying's face was happy, she came to Zhao Qingru to complain today, it was also for this, they were too aggrieved at home! and Zhao Siyin, why are her clothes and jewelry better than hers? Zhao Siyin still came to show off in front of her at every turn?
If her father is still there, now she is also the daughter of the county order, even if Zhao Siyin is only a small person in front of her, after all, Zhao Tingxu is just a showman, and he is not even a lifter!
Zhao Qingru is also angry in her heart, she can't teach people to bully their mother and daughter like this, and she thinks that they are easy to bully, maybe she will step on them in the future!
"Ying'er, don't be afraid, even if you don't have a father, your mother can take care of you, that Gu Gongzi will definitely plan for you!" Zhao Qingru hugged her daughter and promised softly.
Who knew that Chen Wanying hesitated, but raised her head, bit her lip and said, "Mother, my daughter doesn't want to marry Gu Gongzi anymore!" ”
Zhao Qingru was stunned for a moment, and Chen Wanying continued: "According to the identity, it is obviously more prominent and noble than the prince, that is, Gu Gongzi, in front of the prince, she can only bow down and be small, it is better to give Gu Gongzi to Zhao Siyin, she will have to bow her head in front of me for the rest of her life in the future!" ”
Zhao Qingru glanced at her approvingly, and said with a smile: "It's worthy of being my daughter, it's just promising," paused, but she hesitated: "But I'm afraid that the prince is not so easy to plan, and this matter has to be discussed in the long run." ”
Chen Wanying held Zhao Qingru's arm and coquettishly: "Mother, I don't care, you can help me!" If the daughter really becomes the princess, the mother's face will also be bright! ”
Zhao Qingru naturally wouldn't be as simple as Chen Wanying thought, she only gave Chen Wanying a few perfunctory words, but she was thinking about how to fight back against the eldest lady.
However, there is one point, Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying invariably shifted their targets, abandoned Gu Chenfeng and fell in love with Li Junze, Gu Chenfeng, who was originally regarded as a fragrant dumpling, suddenly became an outcast, so pitiful.
Gu Chenfeng didn't know that he had been disliked, and he was still worrying about the grain and grass.
On this day, Gu Chenfeng went to see Li Junze, who was playing chess with Jiang Yi.
After Gu Chenfeng saluted, he said with a wry smile: "The prince is really good, now it is imminent, the prince can still be so calm and relaxed, this concentration really makes me admire." ”
Li Junze smiled faintly: "If the trouble is placed there, I can't solve it even if I burn my eyebrows." ”
Jiang Yi was very happy to see him, directly threw the chess pieces in his hand, and hurriedly said: "Gu Gongzi came just in time, you accompany the prince to talk, and I will go out to pour you tea!" ”
Jiang Yi was a close confidant of Li Junze, and Gu Chenfeng thought that he was not big enough to ask him to pour tea for him in person, but he walked over to take a look, saw the chess pieces of the two, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally understood the reason why Jiang Yi fled in the wilderness.
Li Junze didn't care, he put away the chess pieces again, Gu Chenfeng looked at his slender fingers, sorting the chess pieces in anticipation, it was obviously a very ordinary thing, but he did it leisurely, revealing a natural elegance.
Gu Chenfeng is not a person who has never seen the royal family, but only Li Junze, he feels that his nobility is engraved in his bones.
"I'm really ashamed, I have the trust of the prince, and I haven't thought of a good way until today, and I ask the prince to punish me." Gu Chenfeng said with a wry smile.
Li Junze didn't speak, at this time he had already divided the chess pieces, looked at Gu Chenfeng and said, "Do you want to have a game?" ”
Gu Chenfeng was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand, now that this is the case, it is not too much to say that it is burning his eyebrows, why does his prince still have the heart to play chess?
“…… It's good. ”
Gu Chenfeng took over the chess pieces, and Li Junze asked him to hold the sunspot, but Gu Chenfeng refused and insisted on guessing the piece, and Li Junze followed him, and in the end, Gu Chenfeng took the sunspot.
Jiang Yi walked in with tea, saw that the two were playing chess, shook his head and retreated, he felt that Gu Chenfeng was really a little stupid, he should have known just when he saw him, Li Junze had never lost in chess, and Gu Chenfeng dared to play with Li Junze.
I have to say, very courageous.
Gu Chenfeng also quickly noticed the gap between him and Li Junze in terms of chess skills, but he still gritted his teeth and did not surrender, even so, he only lasted less than a cup of tea, and finally abandoned his son and surrendered.
Li Junze glanced at him in surprise: "I thought you would hold on a little longer." ”
Just now, Gu Chenfeng racked his brains and wanted to maintain it for a while.
Gu Chenfeng smiled embarrassedly, and said calmly: "I know that I will lose, if I resist stubbornly, it will only seem that I can't afford to lose. ”
"Perseverance is always a good quality." Li Junze said lightly: "Actually, your chess game is good, and this later move to surround Wei and save Zhao is very good." ”
Gu Chenfeng said with a wry smile: "Don't make fun of me, I still know how many catties and taels my chess skills have." ”
Li Junze said lightly: "Although the chess skills are a little worse, but they are self-aware, knowing that their chess skills are poor, and they also admit that their skills are not as good as others, which is much better than many people." ”
No matter how Gu Chenfeng pondered, he felt that this didn't sound like he was praising him, but he always felt that Li Junze's words were in his words.
"It's like knowing that you have no choice, accepting the reminder of others, and finally solving the problem smoothly, which is also a good way." Li Junze continued.
Gu Chenfeng was stunned for a moment, but Li Junze looked out of the door: "You still haven't come to tea?" ”
Jiang Yi walked in to serve tea.
Gu Chenfeng was absent-minded when he drank tea, and he was also preoccupied when he left, and he felt that Li Junze's last words were really meaningful.
accepted other people's reminders, and then successfully solved the puzzle, he only thought of one thing, that is, during the lantern festival that day, Zhao Siyan reminded him that he solved Li Junze's two puzzles.
Could it be that Li Junze just said that? He was helpless about the military food problem, so let him go to Zhao Siyan to seek a solution?
This is too unbelievable! Zhao Siyan is a very special woman in Gu Chenfeng's eyes, she is very smart and quick to react, but that's all, if she is asked to solve such a major matter in the court, he will inevitably feel that she has no ability.
Gu Chenfeng committed the common problem that all men have, that is, they feel that a woman's intelligence can only be reflected in the affairs of the back house, and it is not easy for a rare person to be praised as a talented woman for poetry and painting, but in business, they still feel that women are embarrassed by their heavy responsibilities.
Even if Gu Chenfeng himself admired Zhao Siyan, he didn't plan to go to her for help, he felt that Li Junze was probably reminding him that he could let him seek help from his family, right? It's just a metaphor for Zhao Siyan's period.
Gu Chenfeng thought about it like this, and then he felt that it was reasonable.
Before Gu Chenfeng could go far, he heard someone calling him from behind.
"Gu Gongzi, please stay!"
Gu Chenfeng looked back and saw Jiang Yi walking up quickly.
Although Jiang Yi was just a guard, Gu Chenfeng never dared to underestimate him, you must know that Li Junze also brought some people from Shangjing, and only Jiang Yi was by his side, so he knew that Li Junze valued him.
"Guard Jiang, but do you have any advice?" Gu Chenfeng asked politely.
Jiang Yi showed a smile, and the two brothers walked beside him in the same way, and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, I just want to talk to you casually." ”
Gu Chenfeng didn't dare to relax his vigilance.
Jiang Yi said: "Gu Gongzi has been studying since he was a child, who is the smartest person you have ever seen?" ”
Gu Chenfeng thought for a while and said seriously: "It's the prince of the world!" ”
It's not that Gu Chenfeng deliberately slaps on the back, but that Li Junze does have such strength.
He had heard of Li Junze's name before, and always said that the prince of Yi Wang was brilliant and a figure who had no last resort, and the Gu family naturally did some investigation if he wanted to put the treasure on Li Junze's body.
However, Gu Chenfeng had a real feeling that after seeing Li Junze, the clues had already emerged from the question he came out that day, and it was even more so when he played chess with him today.
He has a prominent family background, and he has been strictly cultivated since he was a child, and he thinks that his chess skills are good, but now even his father rarely wins him, and he has no power to resist the son of the previous life, so it can be seen that those rumors are true.
Jiang Yi smiled, Gu Chenfeng wanted to explain that he was not a slippery beard, but Jiang Yi said: "I used to think he was very smart, until I came to Dengzhou and met Miss Zhao San. ”
Gu Chenfeng was stunned for a moment, "Miss Zhao San? ”
"Yes!" Jiang Yi said excitedly: "After all, I grew up with the prince since I was a child, and I have only seen one woman who can make the prince deflated!" So you say, is Miss Zhao San more powerful than the prince? ”
Gu Chenfeng looked stunned.
Gu Chenfeng left again with a heavy heart, Jiang Yi looked at his back and sighed deeply, "The prince is really getting more and more excessive, even if you bully Gu Xiaomu, isn't Miss Zhao San a little smarter than him, she scolded him a few times in public, and didn't save him much face in private?" As for such a bad girl! ”
Jiang Yi felt that the prince was simply a small-bellied chicken intestine!
As for Gu Xiaomu, it is naturally the nickname that Jiang Guards gave Gu Chenfeng in private, so isn't his one-eyed personality just wood?
After Gu Chenfeng went back, after thinking about it again, he finally decided to try it with Zhao Siyan, although he initially decided that Zhao Siyan could not help him, but when he made a decision, there was a faint expectation in his heart.
What if she really could? What if she could actually do it? After all, from the beginning to what happened later, she was such a different and intelligent woman.
Gu Chenfeng had a faint expectation in his heart.
Zhao Siyan didn't know that someone had already hit her idea.
Although Gu Chenfeng and Zhao Siyan live in the same mansion, it is not easy to meet in private, after all, men and women are different, and Gu Chenfeng is a distant relative, so he still has to avoid it.
Even if they sometimes met in Helanyuan, the two had no chance to speak, so Gu Chenfeng wanted to go to Zhao Siyan for help, but the biggest problem was how to see her and be able to talk.
Gu Chenfeng thought about it and decided to use the method used by the Gu family sisters to block people!
