Chapter 16: The Unexpected
Cen Wuniang's most unsatisfactory thing now, in addition to failing to make a difference, another thing is that she has not been able to tie Ping Guogong's heart, so that Ping Guogong always has 'flowers' outside to provoke grass......
Gu Zheng poked Cen Wuniang's two sore spots with a single sentence, making her so angry that her face was blue and speechless, and when it came to her husband's single-mindedness, Pingguo Gong was naturally inferior to Liang Jingxian, so Cen Wuniang could only leave with a hateful flick of the veil.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the way back from the mourning of the Zhou family, Gu Zheng leaned on the wall of the carriage and recalled the various opportunities of the sisters, and thought of the last and couldn't help but sigh with Liang Jingxian, who came to pick her up: "It's really a 'get' person, when we read and read together and learn 'female' popularity, no one knew who they would marry in the future and what kind of life they would live after marrying......
Gu Zheng paused as he spoke, and then said with emotion: "The third sister never dreamed that she would be committed to being a concubine, but I never dreamed that the sixth sister would finally enter the palace as a concubine and become the most prominent person among the sisters!" β
"There is also Siniang, who is arrogant and wants to marry high, she probably didn't expect that she would marry Zhou Chun, and we didn't expect Siniang to choose to burn Zhou Chun's 'jade' stone in this wayβββ I think she dared to do such a thing, she didn't think about living."
Liang Jingxian smiled and said, "I always want to marry you" diluted the slightly melancholy atmosphere in the carriage, and saw that Gu Zheng was amused by his impropriety, so he shook her hand and asked, "Do you hate her?" β
"How can you not hate? There are a lot of beams between me and Siniang, I am a person who loves to hold grudgesβββ at the beginning I have always hated her, and even planned to teach her a good lesson as soon as I found an opportunity, and then after a long time, I unexpectedly found my lover......"
Gu Zheng's pretty face was slightly red when he said this, and he looked a little embarrassed: "After the two of us like each other, I don't hate Siniang for harming me that dayβββ if Siniang hadn't secretly given me 'medicine' that day, and the 'yin' and yang made us perfect, we wouldn't have become a real husband and wife in the end, and we might even miss each other." β
"Thinking like this, I gradually dispelled the idea of teaching Siniang a lesson, just thinking that I wouldn't associate with her in the future, and I never thought that she would be dead not long after," For a person who has died, Gu Zheng actually doesn't have too much resentment: "This can be regarded as its own retribution in the dark!" I didn't bother to take revenge for what she had done to me, but she ended up reaping the consequences. β
Liang Jingxian didn't agree with Gu Zheng's words, and corrected with a displeased face: "Nonsense, even if you weren't 'drugged' by Cen Siniang at the beginning, we will eventually become a real husband and wife, and we will definitely not miss each other!" β
Gu Zheng saw Liang Jingxian's words speak loudly, and couldn't help asking, "Are you so sure that we will definitely love each other no matter what?" β
"Of course, I'm very confident in myself," Liang Jingxian said and leaned into Gu Zheng's ear, biting her ear and whispering: "Even if there is no Cen Siniang, I will think of turning you into my hands as soon as possible, it is a matter of time before you are eaten and wiped clean by me!" β
Gu Zheng blushed and spat Liang Jingxian: "Phew! I knew you had bad intentions for me early on, huh! Lecher! β
Liang Jingxian suddenly became serious, gently held Gu Zheng's face, and said in an extremely serious tone: "Wanwan, are you happy after marrying me?" β
Liang Jingxian asked so solemnly, Gu Zheng put away his mind of playing with him, and looked back at Liang Jingxian with the same seriousness: "To be honest, I was a little unhappy just now, and I even retreated and wanted to reconcile with you as soon as possible and leave the big dye vat of the Liang family...... But although the Liang family is a big family and a big dye vat that is more complex than the Cen family, to be honest, whether it was before or now, if I think about it carefully, I am more happy than the other sisters, because whether it was before or now, you will protect me when I encounter something. β
Gu Zheng said and held Liang Jingxian's hand emotionally, took the initiative to put his fingers into his fingers, and waited for each other's ten fingers to clasp her before saying to Liang Jingxian word by word: "Ziliang, in fact, it has always been you who attach importance to me and protect me everywhere, and the elders of the Liang Mansion will follow me and love me; It is you who have always respected me, and they will respect me; It was you who took care of me in everything and thought for me very well, so they took care of me. β
"All in all, if you love me and love me, I will be loved and recognized by your family," Gu Zheng said these words in his heart, and deliberately took Cen Wuniang as an example: "Take Wuniang as an example, the reason why she is not loved by her in-laws and is not respected by her concubines, and she has been out of nowhere since she got married, but the fifth brother-in-law himself does not respect her is also a big reasonβββ even her husband doesn't pay attention to her, how can her in-laws and concubines attach importance to her?" β
"It's not that I haven't been able to do anything since I married you, but it is precisely because you love me and spoil me that the three mothers-in-law realize that I am your baby bump, so they not only dare not put pressure on me, but also strive to be good to me; It is precisely because you spoil me and rely on me that I can be alone before I give birth, without the troubles of concubines and so many troubles. β
There is nothing more touching than everything you do for your beloved, completely understood and remembered by your beloved! Everything Liang Jingxian did for Gu Zheng was naturally voluntary, and he never thought of getting anything in return, but when he learned that Gu Zheng understood his hard work from beginning to end, he still felt extremely satisfied and relieved in his heart.
Gu Zheng's words can be said to be in Liang Jingxian's heart, which made him very useful, and at the same time, in order to continue to solve problems for Gu Zheng, he secretly sent a few more henchmen to investigate the affairs of the Cen family, and he also worked very hard to invite Gu Feng to eat and drink.
Gu Feng seems to be in a really bad mood recently, and after Liang Jingxian deliberately persuaded him to drink, he drank a few more glasses, and soon became a little drunk and talked more, allowing Liang Jingxian to get words out of his mouth...... Gu Feng was not as vigilant about Liang Jingxian as he was about Gu Zheng, and soon inadvertently said a lot of things that he would never say to Gu Zheng.
When Liang Jingxian sent Gu Feng back to Cen's house and returned home, Gu Zheng, who was sitting under the lamp reading a book, hurriedly got up to greet him, and when he changed Liang Jingxian's clothes, a faint smell of wine rushed straight to her nose, making her frown unconsciously: "Have you drunk?" β
"I've already freshened up beforehand, and you still smell it?" Liang Jingxian knew that Gu Zheng had always disliked the smell of wine, and when he returned to the inner courtyard, he had already freshened up in the outer study first, and deliberately changed his clothes, but he never thought that as soon as he got close to Gu Zheng, he was sniffed by her, so he said with a wry smile: "It seems that I really can't touch a drop of wine in the future, so as not to be driven to sleep in the study by you." β
Gu Zheng glanced at him angrily, and continued unceremoniously: "That's right, you have to go to the study to sleep today, I don't want to smell the wine on your body all night." β
"Don't, don't, I'm not here to find out the news for you?" In order to sleep with Gu Zheng in the bedroom, Liang Jingxian hurriedly put together the news he had found: "I wanted to find out about the Cen family as soon as possible, so I could invite my eldest brother to the restaurant for a few drinks...... But I haven't drunk this wine in vain, I've already found out what you want to know from my eldest brother's mouth. β
Liang Jingxian's words really aroused Gu Zheng's interest: "Everything has been clarified? What the hell is going on? Tell me about it! β
"The matter is related to the Aunt Bai who Master Cen brought home, I heard that Aunt Bai was the red card of Lixiangyuan earlier, and she was raised by Master Cen for a few years as early as twenty years ago, and she is not a person that Master Cen has only recently looked at," Liang Jingxian said and paused, and then slowly said after sorting out his thoughts: "It's just that she suddenly didn't say goodbye after being raised by Master Cen for a few years, but after many years, she suddenly appeared, took the initiative to find Master Cen, and was finally carried into the Cen family as an aunt." β
Gu Zheng was not interested in Aunt Bai's life experience: "What does Aunt Bai's affairs have to do with my brother?" β
Liang Jingxian was a little helpless and asked Gu Zheng not to be impatient: "Don't worry, listen to me slowlyβββ Aunt Bai herself does not have anything to do with the eldest brother, but when she suddenly found Master Cen after many years, she was accompanied by a child who claimed to be Master Cen's own flesh and blood. That kid is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, very similar to Master Cen when he was young, it is simply a copy of Master Cen who is alive and well, and people can't question his identity! β
Liang Jingxian's words shocked Gu Zheng's face, and he figured out a lot of things between the lightning and the fire: "Aunt Bai actually gave birth to a son for Master Cen, no wonder she is so favored by Master Cen, even Aunt Zhao is compared to her!" And his brother, his position in the Cen family must be very embarrassing now, no wonder he has been so wrong recently......"
Master Cen was originally because he could no longer have children and had no successors, so he chose to succeed Gu Feng as his heir in desperation, and now that he suddenly has his own biological son, he will naturally no longer treat Gu Feng as a son, and even give birth to many thoughts that are unfavorable to Gu Feng!
Thinking about this, Gu Zheng couldn't help but nervously hold Liang Jingxian's hand: "Master Cen is deliberately making things difficult for his brother for that child?" β
Liang Jingxian knew that Gu Zheng would know these things sooner or later, so he did not hide Gu Feng's situation, and told the truth in 1510: "Well, after my Aunt Bai took her son to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, Master Cen faintly 'revealed' that he didn't want his eldest brother to inherit the family business, although he didn't ...... it on his face."
Gu Zheng learned from Liang Jingxian's mouth that as soon as Aunt Bai took her son to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, Master Cen began to suppress and make things difficult for Gu Feng openly and secretlyβββ Gu Feng originally helped Master Cen take care of the Cen family's affairs, but now most of these rights have been taken back by Master Cen, and even the Cen family originally planned to take the 'door' road for Gu Feng to seek officials, but now Master Cen has been dragging his feet and refusing to do it on the pretext that he can't take the path of key people.
At the same time that Master Cen was unable to seek an official for Gu Feng, he spent a lot of money to invite a famous teacher to teach Aunt Bai's son, and it is said that he also wanted to donate an official and a half-post to him first......
