The Gu family sisters and brothers are really action-oriented, on the night when they discussed the marriage with Mrs. Cheng, Gu Hang told the matter through the most famous matchmaker in Xiping, and sure enough, the news of the recruitment of a son-in-law by the head of the Guogong Mansion immediately spread all over the streets and alleys of Xiping Jiucheng.

Cheng Qi's own age, coupled with the fact that his appearance has been restored to the same as before, and he has such a good background, so that for a while, the family that Mao Sui recommended himself was about to break the threshold of the Guogong Mansion.

It's just that Cheng Qi made too much trouble last year, so there are not many people who are higher in the family who look up to her, after all, the Guogong Mansion is just an empty shell now, and the Cheng family is still a big businessman in the final analysis.

For the rest, there are a few who are right, but they are all those who want to use the Cheng family to turn over, and the rest are all low-profile businessmen and wealthy households, and there is no one from the Qing noble family.

In the past, such a pomp would have been laughed at, but now, everyone looks at Cheng Qi, whose reputation has been ruined by himself, and that person is so immortal that he has a feud with Duan Guifei.

Such a girl is only worthy of low marriage.

…

…

Tsunoin, morning food time.

"Ah Yun."

Mrs. Cheng put down her chopsticks and said calmly: "In the past few days, there have been many visits to the door to propose marriage, and almost all the matchmakers in Xiping Nine Cities have also come again, do you have any favorite candidates." ”

Mrs. Cheng put down the chopsticks, and everyone stopped eating, Zhou's mother ordered the breakfast to be withdrawn, and asked someone to serve greasy tea, retreat left and right, and leave a line of masters.

These maids are very militarized, looking at Gu Hang Xinqi, he is a person who does not like to follow the rules, after the old man Gu passed by, he controlled Xinyuan's family business alone, and he came at will.

"It is said that a family of women asks for a hundred families." He drank the tea and said with one arm in his arms, "As soon as the face of this desert recovers, I am willing to step on the iron shoes again." ”

Gu slapped him below, asking him not to be so invisible in front of Mrs. Cheng, but in fact, Mrs. Cheng didn't mind, when Gu married him, Gu Hang was only a teenager, no different from his own son.

"The dissatisfied mother said that the daughter-in-law does have two good candidates."

Gu Shi said lightly: "The desert is unstable, so the daughter-in-law thinks that it is necessary to find someone to do things safely, so the second brother of the Cao family who is in the Oriental foreign trade clock is not bad, and the eldest son of the pen-making house, named Xie Yi, that child is also a talent, and he has the daughter-in-law's mind." ”

When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she already understood.

The two families selected by the Gu family are also in business, and the business is not small, and they are both third-rate industries, and no one will laugh at them when they say it.

It seems that after the catastrophe of Duan Guifei, the Gu family is very taboo about the official eunuch royal family.

From the perspective of being a mother, Gu was very thoughtful, and Mrs. Cheng nodded: "I have heard of that Xie Yi, that child has a good reputation, although he has been famous for two years in a row, but there are a few people in Xiping who don't know, he is also unlucky, he has been yin twice in a row, and now he is doing business with his family, and he is not bad, it is the second brother of the Cao family, I don't know very well." ”

Gu Hang explained: "Old lady, you don't know, this Cao Xie, who grew up in the Wa Kingdom since he was a child, only returned to Changguo after the New Year, and he won't go back this time." ”

"Growing up in the Wa Kingdom?"

Mrs. Cheng suddenly said: "Yes, his mother is from the Japanese country." He shook his head uneasily, "We don't know this child's temperament, and he grew up outside, so don't have any strange habits." ”

"I'm used to it."

Gu Hang scratched his head and said, judging from his tone, he didn't seem to be interested in this Cao Xie: "I met this kid yesterday, and it's good to be stable, but ...... It's too steady, and it's not interesting to talk, let alone say that it's the desert rationing for him, and if it's me, I won't do it. ”

"Poof."

When Red Ginseng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and was glared at by Zhou's mother and went out.

Gu Hang looked at the back of the red ginseng and smiled, and then said, "But this is not in a hurry, let's raise such a white fat and beautiful person in the desert, why worry about getting married." ”

Gu chuckled and echoed two sentences.

Mrs. Cheng nodded, glanced at Zhou's mother, the person was full of tacit understanding, and went out after bowing her head slightly.

Red Ginseng was in the courtyard, and he thought that this person was out to scold him, but the man just stiffened his face and said to her cautiously: "You go to Xijing Pavilion now, and tell the two sons and brothers that Mrs. Fang Cai said, and tell the one who came back in the long room, and said that the old lady told him to deal with it quickly." ”

Red ginseng didn't know why, but he still did it and left.

…

…

Of course, when they were busy and busy, the party Cheng Qi still slept in a mess on the third floor of Tinglan Water Pavilion, and because of the instructions, Qingmiao and the others did not dare to quarrel.

Cheng Qi herself is a sleepy person, in the past, in modern times, she was reluctant to go back to low-rent housing, she slept in the pantry of the brigade for eleven days out of ten, because of her temper, few dared to scream the next day.

But this has a little advantage, you don't go out to trouble when you fall asleep.

Captain Gao was also heartbroken for her.

…

…

"Sister Yueying, Young Master Zongyu is here."

Qingmiao came up with the newly changed hot water and whispered to Yueying: "It's better to ask Young Master Zongyu to come up and tell our girl to get up, sleep like this in summer, but you have to sleep with bad people." ”

"Shh

Yueying immediately put her finger in front of her mouth, motioned for Qingmiao to lower her voice, and then said, "What did the girl do last night...... Push-up...... It was too late, so I slept for a long time. ”

She still remembered the confrontation between Cheng Shu and Cheng Yan when she was on the first floor that day, to be honest, Yueying was the one who served Cheng Qi the longest and the most emotional, so she had been thinking about what Cheng Shu was considering.

"No need."

Yueying said: "You are waiting here for the girl to get up, remember to change the ice water for a while, it is a little hot in this building." ”

After she said that, she walked downstairs quickly, and when she saw Cheng Yan at the door of the first floor, Yueying was startled, glanced at Xin Yi next to her, and said uneasily: "Young Master Zongyu, who are you?" ”

Xin Yi was expected to react to Yueying, because Cheng Yan's current face was as if he had been slapped on the ass and beaten hard for two hours, his eyes were bruised like onion rings, and the corners of his lips were not carefully looked at, and he thought that two two thorn strips were arranged on it.

To tell the truth, when Bai Guo painted Cheng Yan in the morning, he looked stupid, originally Cheng Yan was only slightly injured after being beaten by Cheng Qi, but now it looks like a car accident disfigured.

"I'm fine."

Cheng Yan said calmly.

How do you look at this...... It didn't seem like it was okay, but Cheng Yan said it so stiffly, Yueying was embarrassed to ask, and hurriedly said: "Young Master Zongyu, who else is the girl in our family, you better come back later." ”

"It's fine."

Cheng Yan said this, but he didn't go straight up like before.

Yueying thought that Cheng Shu's words had played a role, but in fact, Cheng Yan didn't want that person to see that person looking so embarrassed, if Cheng Qi caught talking, he would not have to burst his belly with laughter.

"Cheng Qi can't afford it, anyway, now the business in the village is taken care of, she doesn't need to work hard, she has worked hard in the Vermilion Bird Building for so long, just tell her to rest and rest."

Cheng Yan beckoned, Xin Yi took a food box and said: "This is her favorite snack, the morning food over there has ended, after Cheng Qi wakes up, wait for the kitchen to prepare the empty food, and eat some cushions." ”

Yue Ying hurriedly took it and thanked her, "Thank you, Young Master Zongyu." ”

Cheng Yan nodded, glanced at the direction of the stairs on the third floor again, and then left.

Xin Yi also nodded at Yueying and followed.

Yueying stepped out of the threshold, looked at the two of them, one master and one servant, went out to the courtyard gate of Tinglan Water Pavilion, looked down at the food box in her hand, and muttered to herself: "If only Young Master Zongyu wasn't the girl's second brother......

Before she finished speaking, Yueying suddenly realized that she had lost her words, and quickly covered her mouth with one hand, only to find Xi Xin standing halfway up the stairs, looking at her with blame.

Yue Ying smiled as a sign of apology.

Xi Xin didn't blame her, because to be honest, she thought more or less so in her heart, after all, Cheng Yan's care and care for Cheng Qi can not be described as meticulous, and she is also doing her best.

And the eyes that are more than brother and sister affection, they have also seen it.

It's a pity that creation makes people.

"The girl is awake."

Xi Xin said: "Come up with the food box." ”

Yueying answered, and walked upstairs quickly.

…

…

"Young master, where are we going?"

Xin Yi followed Cheng Yan and went all the way out of the Guogong Mansion to the street, but he was confused.

Cheng Yan not only wore a hat himself, but also asked Xin Yi to wear it too, which made the latter very puzzled, if he didn't want the scars on his face to be seen...... Then why do you still want to call Ginkgo Baal's painting!

"When I eat in the temple."

Cheng Yan suddenly stopped, turned to him and asked, "Do you remember the two people that grandmother said?" ”

Xin Yi bumped into him and wondered, "Which two people?" Who does the young master refer to? ”

Through the hat, Cheng Yan's voice came meaningfully.

"Yes."

He paused slightly: "The two candidates that my mother is more optimistic about." ”

"Oh." Xin Yi then understood, and then muttered, "The young master is saying that the two sons of the eldest lady said during the morning meal, Aunt Hongshen specially came to tell them, and the slave naturally remembers." ”

"Who."

Cheng Yan asked succinctly and clearly.

Xin Yi looked at his son-in-law through the hood, and asked cautiously, "Young master...... What do you ask for...... You...... What a bad idea you're playing again. ”

Hearing Xin Yi, who has followed him since childhood, gave such an evaluation, Cheng Yan said coldly: "If you don't want to be beaten, just say it." ”

Xin Yi pursed his lips and said, "One is the second brother of Cao's watch company. ”

"It's Cao Xie, who only came back from the Wa Kingdom that year?"

This Cao Xie can be regarded as coming back from abroad, and he was born in Xiping's largest watch company, so Cheng Yan also heard about it, looked at it in place with his negative hand, and said, "You say, that Cao Xie is ...... now." Where should it be? ”

Xin Yi didn't think about it and said: "Where else can I be, it's either at home or at the watch." was scratched by the hat in front of him, "This second brother of the Cao family has just returned from the Wa Kingdom, and if he is not familiar with the place, he will not run around." ”

Cheng Yan felt that it made sense, so he took Xin Yi to the watch store, the young man in the store was not very busy, and he saw that there were two people in the store...... Bai Suzhen was puzzled: "The two ......"

"I'm Feng Xuan of the Feng family."

Cheng Yan said unashamedly.

When the young man heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "It turned out to be Young Master Chuande, you are on the cheap side, but if there are any eye-catching ornaments, you just need to say, the slave will find it for you." ”

Cheng Yan didn't eat any of his flattery, and asked straight to the point: "What about Cao Xie?" ”

The young man was stunned: "Second young master? ”

Xin Yi saw that his young master said it abruptly, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "That's the case, our young master heard that your second brother has come back from the Wa Kingdom, and he came here today to pay his respects." He looked at the inside of the store with a fake look, "What?" The second brother is not in the store today? ”

"Ah, I see."

The young man put his mind at ease, and originally thought that the visitor was not good, so he said: "Our second brother never comes to our store." Knowing Feng Xuan's playful nature, he didn't hide it, "Today...... The slave looked at our young master...... should be in ...... Ethereal dwelling. ”

Ethereal residence, the largest gambling building in Xiping Liang City.

When Xin Yi heard this, the smile on his face stiffened, and he said in his heart that this is not right, according to the rumored information, shouldn't this Cao Xie be full of economy, just a boring and unsociable citizen?

This...... Why did you still run a gambling house?

When Cheng Yan heard this, his eyes froze for a thousand miles, and he was not emotional when he heard the news of his family's proposal, but after knowing that the person was a masked young man at this time, he was almost mad.

This kind of person also dares to covet Cheng Qi!

Without waiting for the guy to say anything more, Cheng Yan turned around and left, the target was naturally ethereal.

Xin Yi chatted with the young man for a few more words, and then followed closely.

…

…

When they arrived at the Ethereal Residence, it was naturally the same as they imagined, with spring halos, shouting and spitting, crowding people everywhere, and the strong smell of hookah, so hanging the life of the cleaner.

Xin Yi couldn't help coughing twice, a little worried about his young master.

"Young Master." He said, "Let's go back, when the second brother of the Cao family is done, it's not too late for us to find him again, slave...... The minion's voice can't stand it......"

"If you can't stand it, go back, you can't sacrifice your life to accompany a gentleman."

Suddenly, a laugh came from behind him: "Besides, he is not a gentleman." ”

Xin Yi turned his head to recognize the man, nodded again and again, he really couldn't stand the mixture of aroma and smoke here, and ran out of the fire, as if he had been rubbed with oil in the process.

Cheng Yan knew who it was when he heard the voice, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and only found Cao Xie among those people.

Jiang Xiaowangye pouted, and said in his heart that you don't take me too seriously, so he grabbed Cheng Yan, and by the way, he lifted the man's hat, and was about to speak, but was ...... by the man The face that seemed to have been trampled by cattle and sheep was startled.

"Oh my God."

Jiang Xiaowang Ye was stunned and said, "This ...... How did you get it? Cheng Yan opened his hand, "With your good martial arts, it must not be easy to beat you into such a person." ”

"Don't talk about those who don't."

Cheng Yan said: "Why are you here?" ”

Jiang Xiaowang took the fruit from the adjacent table and ate it, and said with a smile: "I don't have anything here, what is strange is ...... Why are you here today? Have you fallen willingly? ”

"Fuck off." Cheng Yan was still looking, "What about Cao Xie?" ”

"You said that the boy who came back from the Wa Kingdom and was full of my former boy." Jiang Xiaowang casually pointed to the left, "On the table over there." ”

"Okay."

Cheng Yan said a word and walked over there neatly.

Jiang Xiaowang didn't know what was going on, he just thought that Cheng Yan was beaten by that Cao Xie, and he came to take revenge today, and he was worried that Cheng Yan would make things bigger, so he hurriedly followed.

"Second Brother Cao! Bet on! ”

Someone shouted.

Another man in a dark green robe answered, took out a silver ticket from his arms, patted the table and laughed: "This time I will pay the bill!" Hurry up, hurry up! ”

Seeing this, Cheng Yan sat next to him and stared at the man through his hat.

As soon as he sat like this, the people around him were stunned, and the most confused person was Cao Xie, he looked at the uninvited guest in front of him, and said suspiciously: "Who are you?" What are you doing next to me? ”

Sure enough, he grew up in the Japanese country since he was a child, and he spoke like a sledgehammer.

Cheng Yan didn't say a word, and lifted his hat.

As expected, everyone gasped, and the silver beads on the table couldn't be blocked, and they all looked at the embarrassment on Cheng Yan's face, he was already cold and unsociable, and with the current situation, no one recognized it.

"I said brother."

Cao Xie glared and said in surprise: "How did you get this?" ”

"Cheng Qi beat it."

Cheng Yan lied and said without blushing.

As soon as he said this, Jiang Xiaowangye, who was holding his arms and watching the excitement next to him, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, probably knowing that this person was holding something bad in his heart, took a deep breath, and continued to watch quietly.

Looking at Cao Xie again, when he heard the person in front of him say this, he was shocked fiercely, and then asked tentatively: "Then dare to ask this brother...... What do you call it? ”

"Xie Yi."

Cheng Yan still said with confidence.

"Huh-"

Everyone gasped.

Now that the Cheng family chooses a son-in-law, no one knows Xie Yi and Cao Xie, but these two people, one is high and doesn't like to go out, and the other lives in the country all the year round, so their faces are relatively raw.

Cao Xie swallowed slightly, and said uneasily: "I said brother, you will come to the door to ask for a kiss...... Why was she beaten like this? Your Daddy...... Didn't you pursue it? ”

"Their Guogong Mansion has a big business, and they have the support of King Pingguang and Jiang Xiaowang behind them, and they were beaten...... I can only grit my teeth and swallow it in my stomach, and dare to avenge anything. ”

Cheng Yan said it in a good way, and the bluffing Cao Xie was stunned for a moment, and he had no confidence to speak: "This Cheng Qi ...... It's really as rumored to be...... So grumpy, Brother Xie...... How did you mess with him? ”

"She has a very strange temper, my father went to propose marriage with me, and before she could say a word, she came up with some questions about the donkey's lips and the horse's mouth, what Xiaomi Huawei is strong, I can't answer, she was furious, and beat me like this." Cheng Yan sighed fiercely, leaned on his knees and said, "The most hateful...... I boasted that I had learned some kung fu myself, but that day I was under her hands...... Unexpectedly...... There was no way to fight back. ”

Cheng Yan said, suddenly covering his face and crying: "What a shame! ”

When he shouted like this, everyone sighed, being able to force Xie Yi, who has always been high, to be like this, that Cheng Qi is really worthy of his reputation, and the most speechless among them is Cao Xie.

He naturally knew about Cheng Qi's celebrity deeds, and he wanted to marry that person, but he also had a face, even if he was disobedient and messed around, it would be good to just be violent, but now it seems that it ...... Who is domestic violence is not certain.

If you marry back, you can't appeal if you are bullied by her, who will let the family marry low.

"Brother Xie."

Cao Xie swallowed slightly: "I already know the purpose of your coming today." Gratitatively grabbed Cheng Yan's hand and said, "Thank you for coming to persuade me to stop the precipice." ”

After that, he got up with his shoes on and drove out of the ethereal residence non-stop.

Don't even think about it, you must be going back to your relatives.

Cheng Yan exhaled deeply, then put on his hat, got up and walked out.

Jiang Xiaowang raised his eyebrows, he only felt that this person was too damaged, but it was okay, he didn't want Cheng Qi to get married, twisted his sour neck, looked back at the smoke and fire here, and felt bored and left.

…

…

"Childe, please wait, our young master will come out soon."

The guy from the pen house came out of the back hall and said lightly: "Childe wants tea to relieve his mouth?" ”

Cheng Yan raised his hand and refused.

The guy nodded, and turned back to the back hall.

Xin Yi stood behind Cheng Yan, this is the study of the pen-making house, which is specially prepared for Xie Yi, and the walls are hung everywhere with that person's danqing or calligraphy, basically no other people.

Typical excessive narcissism.

Cheng Yan waited for a while, the man's shelf was quite big, and he refused to come out for a long time, so he got up and turned around, and stopped in front of a painting, which showed a girl with a silk yarn, and another inscription next to it: Huansha Yiguang.

Xin Yi couldn't understand it, and asked, "Young Master, what do you think of this painting?" ”

"This painting ......"

"Cao Yi is out of the water, and Wu is the wind."

Someone behind him suddenly spoke, and his tone was so proud and hiding.

Cheng Yan frowned slightly, and looked back at Xie Yi, who was belated, if Cao Xie was still handsome, this Xie Yi would have a mediocre appearance, and his facial features had no eyesight, but his demeanor was a little unpleasant.

Xie Yi took his hand, his chest was quite high, and he said naturally to himself: "Little clumsy, the son has won the award." ”

"Got a prize?"

Cheng Yan laughed in his heart, he hadn't said it yet, he copied the words and praised himself, there is such a self-righteous cheekiness in the world, although the behavior is not excessive, but the demeanor and tone are the essence of the essence.

As for that painting, it can be said that it is very ordinary.

And judging from those lines, it is clear that it has changed many times, and he wants to keep improving, but Xie Yi said that it was his own essay, and this attitude is ...... Even Xin Yi can only hehe.

Xie Yi didn't mind at all, she sat down directly, didn't look at people with her eyes, lowered her eyes and said with the teacup in her hand: "I heard from the guy, Gongzi is here to persuade me not to propose marriage like the Guogong Mansion, so dare to ask Gongzi, respect the surname?" ”

Cheng Yan lifted his hat again and said, "Cao Xie." ”
