Cen Liuniang had already hid behind Cen Yuanniang timidly at this time, and after listening to Cen Wuniang's words, she smiled at Gu Zheng a little shyly, and after pausing for a while, she saw that everyone's eyes were on her, and then she timidly shouted: "Gu ...... Sister Gu......"

If it weren't for Cen Wuniang having said in advance that Cen Liuniang's courage was very small, Gu Zheng almost thought that he looked very scary, and he scared Cen Liuniang into hiding behind Cen Yuanniang as soon as they met at the beginning of the year.

However, such a little girl also makes people subconsciously feel pity and hate, so Gu Zheng immediately returned her with a friendly smile, and then deliberately picked a white jade Xiyan flower chain that is very compatible with Cen Liuniang's temperament and exquisite workmanship and gave it to her.

As soon as Cen Liuniang saw the white jade sunset flower chain, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, obviously what Gu Zheng gave her liked from the bottom of her heart. However, Cen Liuniang hesitated slightly for a while before carefully accepting the gift from Gu Zheng, and after whispering thanks, she shyly replied to Gu Zheng with a pair of Jinbao string cards.

The Jinbao string cards were a little inferior to the gifts given by the previous sisters, so Cen Liuniang immediately looked at Gu Zheng nervously after giving out the Jinbao strings, for fear that Gu Zheng would dislike them, until she saw that Gu Zheng had a look of genuine liking on her face, and put away the Jinbao strings properly without discrimination, the expression on her face relaxed, and she had a shallow smile.

It was Cen Liuniang's timid appearance that made Cen Wuniang's eyes flash with a trace of impatience, but Cen Wuniang quickly suppressed the impatience in her heart, and continued to lead Gu Zheng to a little milk baby who was held by the nurse, and introduced with a smile: "Wanwan, this is our younger brother Qilang, he is only more than two years old this year, and he is not good at calling people!" ”

Gu Zheng smiled and teased the chubby Cen Qilang a few times, and then picked a small pear wooden fish for him to play with...... In this way, it can be regarded as recognizing the girls and young masters in the house.

Gu Zheng had just finished recognizing her relatives here, and Gu Liniang's side was just finished——— the five aunts in Master Cen's house also kowtowed to Gu Liniang one by one in the order of being raised to become aunts.

Of course, this aunt was not qualified to enter Mrs. Tai's Rongshou Hall, let alone walk around the back room where Mrs. Tai was feasting. The reason why they were able to appear in Rongshoutang was because the people of Cen Mansion had never been very prosperous, and Mrs. Tai always thought that Rongshoutang was too lonely and not lively enough, so she would make an exception to allow those aunts to walk around Rongshoutang.

To put it nicely, it is to give the aunts some decency, and to say it badly, it is to ask them, the concubines, to serve the lady. After all, Mrs. Luo is currently in charge of the Cen family's middle feed, and she can't serve in front of Mrs. Tai all the time...... It is precisely because the aunt of Cen Mansion is always half a maid in the end, so she also has to kowtow to Gu Liniang, the master.

After Gu Zheng's mother and daughter recognized all the people in Cen Mansion, the big guys sat down again according to their priorities, and talked about trivial matters lively......

Mrs. Luo temporarily suppressed her dissatisfaction with Gu Zheng's mother and daughter, piled up a smile and came to Mrs. Yang, and brought up the matter that Gu Zheng's mother and daughter were discussing before they arrived: "Mother, we have discussed almost everything before Yuan Niang's relatives, do you think you will simply settle on the Chen family?" ”

Mrs. Tai was noncommittal when she heard this, and only asked lightly: "According to your meaning, your mother-in-law has taken a fancy to the Chen family?" Let's talk about what is good about this Chen family, it is worth us to marry the eldest girl. ”

Mrs. Tai's seemingly understated sentence made Mrs. Luo's heart skip a beat, and her eyes immediately felt a little more empty. But this Chen family is one of the most famous families in Tongzhou, and occupies the title of "Marquis of Dingguo", ———so don't care about anything else for the time being, just talk about this title, the Chen family of Marquis of Dingguo is one level higher than his own family!

This Cen Yuanniang is just a girl from Dingnanbo's Mansion, even if she marries into the Dingguo Marquis Mansion and is just a stepwife, it is a great thing for her!

Thinking about this, Mrs. Luo immediately felt that she had not treated Cen Yuanniang badly at all, and she had bothered to find a good family affair for Cen Yuanniang......

Therefore, Mrs. Luo immediately made up her mind, and said to Mrs. Tai with a smile on her face: "Mother, although Yuan Niang is married to be a stepmother, but as soon as she marries, she can be named Mrs. Dingguohou, this edict is a little more noble than my Mrs. Dingnanbo!" With such a good family affair, no one can find the slightest bit of bad place! This Yuan Niang is also something I have watched her grow up with since she was a child, how can I arrange an unsatisfactory family affair for her?! ”

"As soon as you get married, you can get a fate, which sounds pretty good, but ......"

Mrs. Tai paused as she spoke, and then pointed out the fly in the ointment of this family business: "It's just that it's not easy to be a stepmother after all, even if you do a very good job as a stepmother, people will only say that you are good, and even say that this is your duty; But even if you don't do your best work only once, people will say that you treat your stepson badly, and they will drown you with spittle. ”

Mrs. Luo smiled wryly when she heard this, and retorted in a low voice: "Isn't there someone who marries to be a stepmother, and the family lives a prosperous life in harmony and happiness?" Besides, if it weren't for this little bit of badness, how could this family affair be our family's turn? As the saying goes, 'there are gains and losses', anyway, I look at this family business is very good......"

"Of course, I don't have the foresight of your mother, and I don't necessarily see the good ones accurately, so this matter has to be decided by you in the end," Mrs. Luo said and paused, glanced at Cen Yuanniang obliquely with some disgust, and then finished her words without smiling: "Anyway, Niang, you have already spoken early, saying that Yuanniang is the eldest daughter of our house, and we must not be sloppy in her family affairs." ”

That's right! Yuan Niang is the first girl in our house to get married, and we are naturally sloppy in her family affairs," the old lady said and paused, then stretched out her finger and pointed to Gu Liniang, who was completely focused on the meeting gifts she had received, and asked Gu Liniang unexpectedly: "Ah Luan, Yuan Niang is your niece and nephew, what do you think of her family affairs?" ”

"Huh?! Did my mother ask me what I meant? ”

Gu Liniang first let out a stupid "ah", and before she could figure out the situation, she saw Sun Yuanniang, who had been standing beside Mrs. Luo with low eyebrows, and glanced at her quickly. Sun Yuanniang finally gave Gu Liniang a reminder at this glance, making her remember that she still owed Sun Yuanniang a favor......

In addition, Gu Liniang hated Mrs. Luo for setting up a bureau to frame her before, so she deliberately did not let Mrs. Luo agree, and she also intended to work against Mrs. Luo, so she immediately followed Mrs. Luo's words and gave her opinion straightforwardly: "Mother, if you want me to say, I don't think that Dingguo Marquis Mansion may not be the most suitable person for Yuan Niang!" ”

"Oh?" Gu Liniang's words made Mrs. Tai raise her eyebrows quite unexpectedly, and she was a little interested: "Then what kind of family do you say is the most suitable family for Yuan Niang?" ”

Gu Liniang didn't shirk when she heard this, but said the most straightforward words generously: "I don't understand the rules and exquisiteness of big families, but if I want to marry my nannan, then I will only have one request——— I just hope that Nannan's family can live happily after marrying into her husband's family, even if her husband's family is not very prominent and rich, as long as the husband and wife are harmonious and happy!" ”

"Besides, this rich and noble family with too high a threshold is not only very complicated in the relationship at the head of the family, but also has many more rights and wrongs in the family than ordinary people! In a big family like Houfu, just the in-laws, uncles, and sisters-in-law are enough for the new daughter-in-law to drink a pot, if there is still that stepson, stepdaughter or something, it is strange that the new daughter-in-law can live comfortably in the past days of marriage! ”

"Not to mention that the child born in the steproom in the future will be shorter than the lady in the main room in front of him for no reason, so wouldn't even the child have to be wronged with the adult?!"

The more Gu Liniang spoke, the smoother she became, and the more she felt that what she said was reasonable, so she immediately raised her voice up: "Anyway, if I let my nannan go to be a stepmother for others, and suffer from those idleness that she shouldn't suffer, no matter how prominent the other party's family background is, then I won't agree even if I am killed!" ”

Gu Liniang first said a lot of long-winded words, and after pointing out the key points of this family affair, she pretended to wake up suddenly, slapped the back of her head and said, "Ouch! Look at what I've been talking all this mess?! “

"Mother, I don't know anything about these high-ranking families, I just feel sorry for my daughter, take my own daughter as an analogy, and I don't pay attention to say such a lot of words, don't laugh at me for not knowing it!"

However, after Mrs. Tai heard Gu Liniang's words, her brows slowly twisted into a ball, and finally she simply mentioned the family background of several families that were currently in front of Cen Yuanniang and were chosen by the Cen family......

After mentioning the family background of those families, Mrs. Tai asked Gu Liniang half-truthfully: "What you do is for the sake of your daughter, and you only hope that your daughter can live a good life, then you should be regarded as picking a husband's family for Wanwan and picking a family for me." ”

As soon as Mrs. Tai's words came out, Mrs. Luo and Aunt Sun's faces changed in unison——— Mrs. Luo was full of shock, and she didn't seem to believe that Mrs. Tai had asked Gu Liniang, a rural village woman, to decide Cen Yuanniang's family affairs; As soon as Aunt Sun heard Mrs. Tai's words, a trace of hope immediately welled up in her heart, and she glanced at Gu Liniang a few times quietly.
