Mama Li didn't interject, and combed Liu's hair softly, and after Liu finished complaining, she sighed: "Blame me too, I, as a mother, didn't set a good example for her." ”

"Madam, if you say that, you will break the third lady's heart." Mama Li finally spoke: "Mrs., don't blame the slave maid for speaking for the third miss, the slave maid doesn't think it, the third miss will think that you can't help her, the slave maid thinks that the third miss is afraid that you are worried." ”

"Moreover, you used to worry that the third young lady and the fifth young master had a bad relationship, but now that their sister and brother have a good relationship, isn't this exactly what you want to see?" Mama Li said softly again.

Liu's ears have always been soft-rooted, and no mother would not like others to say good things about her children, but she was instantly persuaded by Mama Li.

She couldn't help but glance at Mama Li with disgust: "You, just speak for them!" ”

Mama Li smiled.

Liu Shi frowned, and then said: "No, I still have to tell the master about this matter, even if the master can't come back now, he must have a number in his heart, how can he help think of ideas." ”

Mama Li was shocked, but she couldn't persuade the Liu family, so in desperation, she had to write a letter to Zhao Tingshan and send it over.

Zhao Siyan also went back to the room, Lu Lotus came back later, her face was so red from the cold, Yun Cui poured her a cup of hot tea, and she only came back after drinking it.

Lu He put down the teacup, wiped his mouth casually, then looked at Zhao Siyan, and said angrily: "Miss, the slave maid has inquired, this is obviously the eldest master is using Miss for benefits!" The matter of the big house, but it has to involve our young lady, and the big house is not without girls! ”

Yun Cui was stunned for a moment, and instinctively reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful to make trouble for Miss!" ”

Zhao Siyan was thoughtful.

Green Lotus said indignantly: "I'm not talking nonsense, I've already inquired clearly. After a pause, she looked at Zhao Siyan: "Miss, this matter is about the eldest master, the slave maid took a lot of turnover to find out, the Zhang family did send someone to ask to marry the young lady, and promised that after the matter was completed, she would find an official for the eldest master, and the old lady was moved when she heard it." ”

Zhao Siyan suddenly realized at this time, no wonder Mrs. Zhao was so anxious, the Zhao family did not have an official except for Zhao Tingshan, and her uncle Zhao Tingxu only passed the Xiucai test, not even the lifting test, her grandfather was selected for lifting, but he didn't go any further.

Therefore, although the Zhao family is a scholarly family, there is really no one who is an official in the imperial court, Zhao Tingshan is a military general, in the eyes of the Zhao family, it is not an official at all.

Although the official position of the main book is not big, he is also a confidant of Taishou, and he is also an official body.

It seems that the Zhang family has made a lot of money.

Yun Cui was also a little anxious at this time, "Miss, if this is the case, Dafang will definitely spare no effort to promote this marriage, not to mention the old lady, the old lady has always been partial to the eldest master, and this time it will definitely be the same!" ”

Zhao Siyan said, "What is there in the Zhao family that can make the Zhang family take a fancy to it, and they will not hesitate to use the official position of the chief bookkeeper to plan family affairs for a concubine?" This concubine is not particularly important in the Zhang family, right? ”

The literati have a particularly good advantage, that is, they will never spoil their concubines and kill their wives, and they attach importance to the distinction between concubines and concubines.

Originally, the marriage between the Zhang family and the Zhao family was that the Zhao family climbed high, and now the Zhang family actually took a position as the master book for this marriage, it seems that they are worried that the Zhao family will not agree.

What did the Zhang family fall in love with the Zhao family? So much so that such a bloody investment?

You have to marry her!

Zhao Siyan didn't think that he really had such a great charm that he could make the Zhang family take great pains to come to this.

Yun Cui also hurriedly said: "Miss, there are girls in this big house, and there are second misses, the second miss is already older than the young lady, it is said that even if you want to say that you are close, you can't go past the second miss, and this is obviously for the benefit of the big house, how can you let the young lady get married?" ”

Zhao Siyan's eyes flashed, "But the Zhang family asked me by name." ”

That must be the reason why she has to be, Zhao Siyan frowned slightly.

Zhao Siyan thought for a while, and then called Lu He: "Tomorrow morning, you go out to buy something for me, and by the way, help me inquire about some things." ”

Midori nodded.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too late now, she would have wanted to go now.

Yun Cui and Lu Lotus rested after serving Zhao Siyan to wash, Zhao Siyan lay on the bed and did not fall asleep, his mind was a little messy, more thinking about the purpose of the Zhang family.

Zhao Siyan thought about it and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Green Lotus went out to inquire about Zhao Siyan's news, but she didn't expect that before Green Lotus came back, someone told her the answer.

It was Gu Chenfeng.

Gu Chenfeng ordered someone to whisper to see Zhao Siyan, Zhao Siyan didn't want to go, but the maid who passed the message said that if she didn't go, Young Master Gu would come directly to listen to Yuyuan.

Zhao Tingshan was not there, Gu Chenfeng came to listen to Yuyuan alone, this was a too eye-catching thing, Zhao Siyan couldn't afford to take this risk.

Zhao Siyan couldn't help gritting his teeth, Gu Chenfeng had been with Li Junze for a long time, and he had a bit of Li Junze's style of acting.

Zhao Siyan went to the place that Gu Chenfeng said was good to see him, but it was just a secluded courtyard of the Zhao family, and no one usually came, so it was easy to avoid people's eyes.

Zhao Siyan only took Yuncui to go, and when she arrived in the courtyard, Gu Chenfeng was walking back and forth, and when she saw her, she hurriedly walked over.

"I heard that the house is rumoring about your family?" Gu Chenfeng said decisively.

Zhao Siyan looked at his somewhat anxious gaze steadily, and suddenly sighed.

"Gu Gongzi, our two families are related, and I also welcome Gu Gongzi to live in the Zhao family, but this is my Zhao family's private matter, and it is my private matter, will Gu Gongzi worry too much?" Zhao Siyan couldn't help but get straight to the point, paused, and continued: "Whether I want to marry or not, the elders are in charge, and I am not the one who has the final say, Gu Gongzi asked me to come so rashly, I think, it should be unruly, right?" I hope that something like this will not happen again in the future. ”

After Zhao Siyan finished speaking, he didn't look at Gu Chenfeng's expression, turned around and was about to leave.

She really didn't want to be involved with Gu Chenfeng, it was enough for the two of them to maintain their politeness on the surface, she didn't want to get into any trouble for herself because of this.

In fact, the eldest lady and Zhao Qingru are really worried, now that she has any mind to think about these children's affections? And whether it is Li Junze or Gu Chenfeng, she feels that she can't afford it, these two people represent too much trouble.

Gu Chenfeng stepped forward with an arrow and blocked in front of Zhao Siyan.

Zhao Siyan was a little surprised, she looked at him in amazement, she thought that with Gu Chenfeng's pride, she said so, he would definitely feel offended, and even angry, and never see her again.

That's why she said it so bluntly just now, she thought about it, he might be annoyed and angry, and never see her again, but she didn't expect that he would actually stop her.

Gu Chenfeng's dark eyes shone brightly, falling on her face, not the pain of rejection, but a little brighter.

"I thought you were going to keep pretending you didn't know." He spoke softly, in a low voice.

Zhao Siyan frowned instinctively, she was about to speak, but Gu Chenfeng took the first step to speak: "You just said so much, it is nothing more than to say that your business has nothing to do with me, we have nothing to do with it, you just want to break off relations with me." After a pause, he smiled slightly: "If we have a relationship, isn't it in line with the rules?" ”

Zhao Siyan chuckled in her heart: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'm here for your family business," Gu Chenfeng said bluntly: "I only received the news yesterday, the Zhang family is one step ahead of me, I originally thought that after the war stabilized, I would also behave in front of the prince and mention this matter to the family, but I didn't expect the Zhang family to take the lead, but it's not too late to mention it now." ”

Zhao Siyan really feels bad now, this son, do you know what you're talking about?

Gu Chenfeng continued: "I'll let people go home now, and ask the family to send someone to propose marriage," after a pause, he had a little pride on his face: "I don't believe it yet, I won't be as good as a concubine who is too guarded!" ”

It was the confidence from the bottom of his heart, the charm of his family and himself, which gave him the confidence to face any competitor.

He was so confident that he didn't even feel that he would be rejected by Zhao Siyan.

Zhao Siyan frowned, with a small face, and said coldly: "Gu Gongzi, I have the ability to solve the Zhang family's family affairs by myself, even if there is another one, it is only the second Zhang family, if Gu Gongzi disregards his face and insists on this, then I have to accompany him to the end!" ”

Gu Chenfeng's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but take a step forward: "You compare me with the Zhang family?" ”

Zhao Siyan took a deep breath, she didn't want to tear her face with Gu Chenfeng, she said patiently: "Gu Gongzi is a talent, and he has a bright future, there will definitely be famous ladies to match in the future, Gu Gongzi should not waste time on me." ”

"But, if I say, I only want you?" Gu Chenfeng's eyes were bright and bright, staring at Zhao Siyan: "I only want you, others can't, whether it's a famous lady or a lady, I just want you." ”

Zhao Siyan was puzzled: "Gu Gongzi, you are a smart person, you should know what kind of wife is more beneficial to you, you are not the kind of person who will be emotional, right?" ”

Gu Chenfeng smiled and said, "So what? What I want, I will naturally get on my own, not on women. After a pause, he stared at her deeply, "You're right, I'm smart, I naturally know what kind of woman I want, what I want is you." ”

Zhao Siyan felt a little headache, she thought about it, and then said, "But you are not what I want." ”

This can be regarded as tearing the skin and saying it so bluntly.

Yun Cui glanced at her own young lady quickly, and sincerely admired her girl, after all, a man like Gu Chenfeng who was good-looking, had a prominent family background, and was talented, no matter which girl said such a thing, I was afraid that it would be difficult to resist, but her girl, after listening to it without changing her face, she could still calmly refuse without hesitation.

Gu Chenfeng frowned, almost unable to suppress the displeasure in his heart and wanted to scold her.

Zhao Siyan was actually right, Gu Chenfeng was a proud person, few people could convince him to surrender, and in his opinion, he could take a fancy to Zhao Siyan, in fact, Zhao Siyan had climbed high, and from the perspective of identity and background, Gu Chenfeng had the initiative.

He originally thought that as long as he spoke, Zhao Siyan would be flattered, but he didn't expect her to refuse.

But she refused, but Gu Chenfeng suppressed the anger in her heart, after all, Zhao Siyan was the first woman he was excited about, and he was willing to give her more patience.

So he said what he had never said to anyone, and he wanted to impress her with his sincerity and let her see his sincerity.

He thought that even if Zhao Siyan had some concerns before, but he had already put his sincerity in front of her, she would definitely accept it with emotion and no longer have any worries.

However, Zhao Siyan said without hesitation that she didn't want him.

Refusing again and again was undoubtedly a shame for Gu Chenfeng, he frowned tightly and looked at Zhao Siyan unhappily.

"Do you know what you're talking about? Marriage has always been the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, believe it or not, as long as I tell the old lady what I mean, she will definitely be busy marrying you to me! Gu Chenfeng said coldly.

As soon as these words came out, Gu Chenfeng regretted it a little, because he saw Zhao Siyan's suddenly cold gaze.

She raised her head and looked at Gu Chenfeng fearlessly: "Of course I believe that Gu Gongzi can do what he says, but the twisted melon is not sweet, even if Gu Gongzi disregards his dignity and face and forcibly marries me, a wife who does not have you in his heart, and a wife who is not willing to marry you, is that what Gu Gongzi wants?" ”

The successive rhetorical questions made Gu Chenfeng's face sink completely, and those calm eyes stared at her like that, and she didn't avoid it, just met his gaze.

For some reason, Gu Chenfeng, who should have been angry, gradually dissipated the anger in his heart at this time, he should have known that what he was interested in was not an ordinary woman, and he would never compromise because of his identity and status.

"I believe that if you are willing to understand me, you will also have me in your heart." It's like I have you in my heart.

But in the last sentence, Gu Chenfeng didn't say it because he was worried about his face.

He is still a proud person after all, and it is the first time that he has been rejected by a woman in person, and in this case, he really can't show his heart to her anymore.

Gu Chenfeng thought for a while, and continued: "I know that you are still young now, and your love has not yet opened, but many people are like this, like my father and mother, there was no relationship before marriage, but after marriage, they also got along, I am very lucky, I have the opportunity to understand you in advance, I will cherish you and treat you well for the rest of my life." After a pause, he continued: "I guess I'm not that bad enough to be shunned, right?" ”

Gu Chenfeng said in the end, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated a lot, it was difficult for him to lose his temper with her, every time he faced her, she could easily impress him, and she could also affect his emotions, whether it was anger or joy, she was in control.

This is a very dangerous thing, but Gu Chenfeng found that he was not repulsed. As a result, some words came out of his mouth so naturally, and he did not feel that it was difficult to speak, nor did he feel that it was insulting his manhood, but with a little faint joy.

Zhao Siyan was really a little helpless, she knew very well that she didn't have that kind of thought about Gu Chenfeng, even if she heard his words, although she felt moved in her heart, she had no way to empathize.

Zhao Siyan thought for a while, and then said: "Gu Gongzi, I have no intention of offending you, I also feel flattered by your kindness, I don't think I have anything worthy of Gu Gongzi...... Where Gu Gongzi treats him differently, it's just that I have never thought about my marriage, and I hope that Gu Gongzi will not worry about me. After a pause, she continued: "What I am most concerned about now is the proposal of the Zhang family, I really want to solve this matter smoothly, this matter is enough to make me anxious, if I add another Gu Gongzi, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with." ”

Yun Cui quickly glanced at Zhao Siyan, who was 'anxious', she didn't think that her young lady was worried about the affairs of the Zhang family, in fact, yesterday the Liu family was almost unable to sit still, and her young lady was still as stable as Mount Tai.

But to be someone else's maid, you still have to abide by your duty, and pretend to be stupid when you should be stupid, this is a truth that even the stupid girl of Green Lotus understands.

Gu Chenfeng also gradually calmed down, "The matter of the Zhang family really needs to be resolved as soon as possible. After a pause, he glanced at her, and his tone took on the domineering tone of the son of the family: "Even if you don't want to marry me, I won't let you marry someone else at will!" ”

Not to mention that it is the lame man of the Zhang family, a concubine, or a lame man, Gu Chenfeng frowned in disgust, such a person would dare to come and ask to marry Zhao Siyan? In his opinion, he felt that the Zhang family not only insulted Zhao Siyan, but also insulted him.

He wants to ask to marry a woman who goes home, and a woman who wants to cherish well, how can he marry such an unbearable person?

Zhao Siyan smiled bitterly, Gu Chenfeng didn't come to the troubled waters, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But...... Zhao Siyan suddenly glanced at Gu Chenfeng, remembered one thing, and couldn't help but think about it.

Zhao Siyan looked at Gu Chenfeng and said seriously: "This marriage is strange, I always feel that it is not so simple. ”

Zhao Siyan said, told Gu Chenfeng about the situation she had, paused, and continued: "I don't think the Zhang family will be unprofitable and unprofitable, for the marriage of a concubine, so much trouble, I'm afraid it's because of some of them." ”

After Gu Chenfeng listened, he thought about it for a while, but suddenly realized, and said conclusively: "It's because of the prince!" ”

Zhao Siyan was stunned for a moment, how could this have anything to do with Li Junze?
