On this day, Su Zhan received a letter from Lin Ziang, asking him to go to Juxian Building for tea tomorrow.

Su Zhan thought that the Su family intended to marry the Lin family, so he agreed.

Lin Ziang and Su Zhan are the same age, but their birthday is four months younger than Su Zhan, Lin Ziang is tall and burly, with a resolute appearance, and he is a little less bookish and angry, but a little tough.

Lin Ziang is Lin Zheng'an's second son, and the last time Su Zhan saw him was six or seven years ago.

The next day, Su Zhan arrived at Juxian Building a little earlier than the agreed time, but as soon as he arrived at the private room agreed by the two, he heard a woman's cry from inside.

Su Zhan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was early, and there were other guests in the private room, so he wanted to push it away, and then he heard a male voice coming from inside.

"Yueru, if you believe me, I will not fail you in this life, I will not marry the young lady of the Su family, this is my mother's idea."

The young lady of the Su family? Su Zhan paused and did not walk away.

"Childe, I am here to meet you, it is not in line with the etiquette, I came here this time just to say goodbye to you, the marriage is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can I bear to let you be such an unfilial and unrighteous person for me? After all, you and I are destined to have no part. The girl named Yueru said in a mournful voice: "What's more, there is a huge disparity between you and me, Yueru is a lowly person, how can she be worthy of the son?" Childe still forgot about me! ”

When Su Zhan heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he pushed open the door, alarming the two inside.

Su Zhan pushed open the door, and saw Lin Ziang and Miss Yueru looking at each other with tears in their eyes, and their faces were blue: "It turns out that Young Master Lin came to me just to watch such a play!" ”

Lin Ziang was startled, Su Zhan had already walked in, and he carefully closed the door.

Su Zhan glanced at Lin Ziang coldly, and said with a sneer: "Young Master Lin is really calculating, presumably you are not satisfied with the marriage with the Su family, so you asked me to come here today just to show me this play, in your plan, should I be angry, and then make the matter known to everyone, so that the two families can't get off the stage, and this marriage will naturally be done!" ”

Lin Ziang's face changed unpredictably, and finally said, "Cousin misunderstood me, what happened today...... I didn't expect that I was just saying goodbye to Yueru here, and I didn't expect my cousin to come suddenly......" After a pause, he said again: "Isn't it time for me to make an appointment with my cousin?" ”

Su Zhan ignored his quibbles, and only said coldly: "You are a man, you are not satisfied with the marriage, you dare not fight with your parents by yourself, but you only dare to do this kind of small action behind your back, like yours, I will not marry my sister to you!" But you remember, our Su family opposes this family business, not because of your calculations today, but because we look down on you as a person! ”

Su Zhan is not stupid, it was strange for Lin Ziang to ask him out for no reason, and it also made him break such an unbearable scene, there is obviously something greasy in this, Lin Ziang probably bought the job, and when he saw him come up, he reported the news, and then he played such a play with this girl Yueru to show him.

So even if he knew that Lin Ziang had premeditated, Su Zhan could only do what he wanted, Lin Ziang had clearly opposed this marriage, and their Su family couldn't continue to marry as if nothing happened, right?

With Su Zhan's arrogance, it is impossible to fit into such a thing no matter what.

This is also Lin Ziang's calculation, so this calculation, Lin Ziang will definitely succeed, he is not satisfied with this marriage, and knows that it is useless to protest with Mrs. Lin, so he starts with the Su family.

Although Su Zhan was angry, fortunately he didn't make a big deal out of it, and it was also to save Su Yunlai's face.

"This marriage will not be concluded, no matter what means you have, it is best to stop here, the so-called life is a line, and we will see each other afterwards, if you let me know that you are doing something that damages Ah Wan's reputation, Lin Ziang, don't blame me for not thinking about relatives!" Su Zhan coldly warned and strode out while pushing open the door.

Lin Ziang lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and also let go of the hand holding the girl Yueru.

When Su Zhan returned home, he said to the Chen family: "The marriage of the Lin family is over, don't mention it again in the future." ”

Chen's face was inexplicable, even if she was used to being obedient to her son, she was puzzled: "Zhan'er, this is your sister's lifelong event, you don't care, it's a good family affair, why can't it be married?" Did you hear something? Or is it because of the antagonistic relationship between your cousin and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson? Are you worried that your sister will marry into the Lin family, and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson will suspect you? ”

What is this? Su Zhan looked aggrieved, but she couldn't tell the truth, so she had to say: "Mother, don't worry about it, the marriage of the Lin family is not suitable for Ah Wan, I will find her another good family, the Lin family will definitely not work!" ”

"What's not to do? No, you have to give me a reason! I promised your cousin and aunt, and now I have reversed my word, isn't it a matter of falling into the hands of others? Let your father know, and blame you again. Chen said anxiously.

Su Zhan was forced to do nothing, and finally his mind was hot, and he blurted out: "What kind of family business!" That's all wishful thinking on the part of you and your cousin, Lin Ziang doesn't mean this at all, it's just that you're hot! How can Ah Wan marry like this? Are you widowed after entering the door?! ”

After listening to Su Zhan's words, Chen looked at him with a shocked expression, obviously not expecting this layer.

As soon as Su Zhan's voice fell, he saw Su Yunlai behind Chen, and he almost slapped himself in annoyance: "Ah, Ah Wan......"

Chen also turned his head, and Su Yunlai didn't know that he was already standing behind Chen, "Ah Wan? Did you hear it all? Don't listen to your brother's nonsense, marriage is a big deal, where is their turn to be in charge of their children......"

"Mother, I'm fine." Su Yunlai smiled and said, "Since the third brother said that this family business can't be concluded, then forget it, it's not a big deal." ”

Su Yun turned around and went back to the room after speaking, Su Zhan looked at her back, so annoyed that she wanted to slap herself, a girl who had not left the cabinet, she would be so disgusted by her future husband, she would be very sad, right?

Su Zhan told Chen what happened in the teahouse today, and when Chen heard it, he was also angry, she only had one daughter, how could she be willing to let her suffer this grievance, this was like this before she entered the door, and she would pay it back in the future?

Chen also complained a little about Mrs. Lin in his heart, and he didn't even figure out the wishes of the child, so he rashly mentioned the marriage, fortunately, Su Zhan found out, if she got married in a daze, she might regret it in the future!

However, Chen did not tell Mrs. Lin what Lin Ziang had done, but when Mrs. Lin invited Chen to be a guest in another post, Chen politely refused.

Chen was worried that Su Yunlai would be hit by the marriage, so he wanted to take her out for a walk, and it happened that Princess Wuyang also knew that Su Yunlai's marriage was not completed, so she sent her a post to ask her to go to the Zhuangzi outside the city to play, and there were peach blossoms on the Zhuangzi, which had bloomed just recently.

Su Yunlai knew Chen's thoughts, although she felt that it didn't matter, but it was not good to dismiss her kindness, so she agreed.

When he went out, he ran into Su Yunzhen at the door.

"Second aunt, I just want to go to Fahua Temple to incense, my mother doesn't want to go out, you go to Zhuangzi outside the city, just near Fahua Temple, why don't you take me with you, I'll come back after the incense, okay Second Aunt?" Su Yunzhen looked at Chen and pleaded.

Chen hesitated a little and took Su Yunzhen out, if something went wrong, she was afraid that she would not be able to afford it.

"Second aunt, my mother has agreed, so you can agree!" Su Yunzhen tugged Chen's hand and said pitifully.

Su Yunlai has been coquettish since she was a child, although she is not big now, but she rarely shows such a little daughter posture, where can the Chen family afford Su Yunzhen to be like this, and nodded again and again in agreement.

Su Yunzhen smiled happily and held Su Yunlai's hand: "Seventh sister, let's sit together!" ”

Su Yunlai had no choice but to nod.

Su Yunzhen said that she was going to Fahua Temple to offer incense, but it was impossible for Chen to throw her alone in Fahua Temple, Chen first sent Su Yunlai to Zhuangzi, and then accompanied Su Yunzhen to incense, and then took Su Yunzhen to Zhuangzi after incense.

Princess Wuyang took Su Yun to visit the garden, and when she was tired, she sat down in the pavilion in the garden to rest.

"I heard about the son of the Lin family, are you still angry? If you're still not satisfied, I'll have someone beat him up again to make you angry. Princess Wuyang suggested.

Su Yunlai smiled and shook his head, "Thank you princess for standing up for me, but it's not a big deal, why make yourself unhappy?" ”

Princess Wuyang saw that her face was relaxed, and she really didn't care, and breathed a sigh of relief: "You taste this peach blossom crisp, it is filled with peach blossom petals, with honey, and it is newly researched by the chef in the house, you can taste it." ”

Su Yunlai sandwiched a piece of it with kindness, and then said with a smile: "It seems that the matter in the capital has been almost resolved, and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has the leisure to study the dim sum." ”

Princess Wuyang paused, "How do you know it's him?" ”

"The princess doesn't care what snacks she usually eats, and there is only His Royal Highness the eldest grandson who has such a leisurely mood." Su Yunlai said as a matter of course.

Princess Wuyang was brought up by Gu Yanshan, she was raised extensively since she was a child, and she was able to eat as much as she could, which is the same as Gu Junyan, and there is only Li Sheng who can have such elegance.

Princess Wuyang looked happy, "Ha, Li Sheng still thinks that no one knows what he did!" No, you just took a bite of the snack, and he was exposed! And that person was still her friend, and Her Royal Highness suddenly felt proud.

After Princess Wuyang finished speaking, she instructed the subordinates on the side: "Go, please ask Your Highness to come out, he lost." ”

That elated look is hard not to think it's schadenfreude.

The subordinates came back soon, not only bringing His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, but also General Gu Shao behind.

"I'll just say that she is very fine, and she can't hide it, thanks to me pulling Su Zhan to our side, otherwise if you put her outside, it will be endless trouble." Gu Junyan looked at Su Yunlai and said slowly.

As soon as Su Yunlai saw him, she thought of the events of that day, her face was a little uncomfortable, she was still not shrewd enough, she guessed Li Sheng, but she didn't guess that the young general was also there.

When Su Yunzhen and Chen came to Zhuangzi, what they saw was a few of them sitting together eating snacks and enjoying peach blossoms.

Su Yunzhen saw Gu Junyan, her face was slightly red, she glanced at him quickly, then lowered her head, and said shyly: "I don't know that the young general and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson are also here, but the people's daughter is rude." ”

Li Sheng smiled gently: "It's okay, Miss Suer, please take a seat." ”

Su Yunzhen thanked and sat aside.

As soon as Su Yunzhen came, the atmosphere became much more restrained, and Princess Wuyang whispered to Su Yun to talk.

"Uncle sent another letter yesterday, urging me to settle down as soon as possible." Princess Wuyang said impatiently: "You say, is there no war at the border pass, and he has nothing to worry about?" ”

Su Yunzhen, who was on the side, said with a smile at this time: "Isn't that what you do as an elder?" This family affair can't be sloppy, of course, you have to choose carefully, you don't have to worry about being blessed like the seventh sister, the Lin family is the aunt's family, you know the roots, the young master of the Lin family is promising, and marrying is a blessing! ”

Su Yunlai frowned slightly, her marriage with the Lin family was just a revelation between the Chen family and Mrs. Lin, and nothing was determined, but the meaning of Su Yunzhen's words was like the two families had already decided on a family affair, if it was spread, Lin Ziang didn't care, and Su Yunlai's reputation would be ruined.

The people present were all human spirits, even Princess Wuyang heard the malice in Su Yunzhen's words, and her expression couldn't help but fade.

The scene was a little silent and embarrassed for a while, Su Yunzhen twisted her handkerchief a little uneasily, and looked at Su Yunlai with a worried expression: "Seventh sister, but what did I say wrong?" I didn't mean to, I was just genuinely happy for you. ”

Su Yunlai smiled, and was about to speak, but Princess Wuyang said, "What marriage?" How did I not know? Do you know this young master of the Lin family very well? Look at the way you are so full of praise. ”

Whatever the reason, it is out of place for a woman to 'praise' a man who is not related to her.

Su Yunzhen's face turned slightly pale, but she understood that Princess Wuyang was unhappy, and then said: "I said the wrong thing, don't worry about it, princess, it's my hearsay, and I ask the seventh sister to forgive my sister for being open-mouthed." ”

Su Yunlai smiled and shook his head, "I know that the second sister is unintentional, I don't blame you." ”

Su Yunzhen smiled at her, and glanced at Princess Wuyang carefully, relieved to see that she didn't pursue it again.

As for Gu Junyan and Li Sheng, the two of them just sat on the side and drank tea, as if they were really here to chat.

Gu Junyan put down the teacup at this time, stood up and said, "I still have something to discuss with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, so I'll go back to the study first." ”

A flash of disappointment flashed in Su Yunzhen's eyes, but she still stood up and saluted Gu Junyan.

Li Sheng and Gu Junyan left, Su Yunzhen looked a little absent-minded, and although Princess Wuyang talked to Su Yunlai, she didn't neglect her.

"Princess, I want to change my clothes." Su Yunzhen whispered.

Princess Wuyang nodded and ordered her subordinates to wait.

After Su Yunzhen changed her clothes and came out, she didn't rush back, but said that she was going to visit the garden, and led her maid to think that her princess didn't seem to treat her very well, so she didn't rush to let her go back.

As a result, after strolling around, she arrived outside Li Sheng's study, and the maid knew that she could not be allowed to enter here, and Su Yunzhen did not go to the front of the mountain, but walked around the neighborhood.

Gu Junyan walked out of the study, and as soon as Su Yunzhen saw him, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly walked up.

"Major General!" Su Yunzhen stopped Gu Junyan, looked at him a little eagerly, and said, "Young General, I have something important to tell you, can you hold back first?" ”

A flash of displeasure flashed in Gu Junyan's eyes, and then he said, "If you need to, you can go to the princess." ”

"No, I don't need anything else, Major General, I have something to report to you!" Su Yunzhen said eagerly: "It's about His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, my brother is the companion of the second prince, he knows a lot of things about the second prince, I have something to tell the young general!" ”

Su Yunzhen thought that when she mentioned the second prince, Gu Junyan would definitely be very concerned and wanted to know what she was going to say, but Gu Junyan didn't seem to be interested at all, and looked indifferent.

"Go and take Miss Su Er back, don't get lost." Gu Junyan lightly ordered the maid who followed Su Yunzhen.

The little maid knew that this was Gu Junyan warning her, Bill Ang Su Yunzhen was running around, she couldn't help but glance at Su Yunzhen with some complaints, she was running around, causing her to be blamed by the master.

"Major General!" Su Yunzhen looked at him with a shocked face and said, "I really have something to tell you, something very important, you must listen to me!" ”

Gu Junyan said coldly: "No matter what you say, I won't be interested, Miss Su Er should please go back." ”

"Don't you believe me? Do you think I'm lying to you? Su Yunzhen suddenly said, "No, Major General, I'm ...... I have always admired the young general, even if my brother is the companion of the second prince, but I am different from him, I will not harm you! ”

Gu Junyan shook his head, said no more, and strode away directly past her.

Su Yunzhen looked at his back in disbelief and stood in place in despair.

Su Yunzhen returned to the pavilion, and the little maid told Princess Wuyang about Su Yunzhen stopping Gu Junyan, Princess Wuyang was so angry that she ordered someone to watch Su Yunzhen closely, and she must not be allowed to walk around again.

However, Su Yunzhen didn't do anything else, maybe she was stimulated by Gu Junyan just now.

Princess Wuyang didn't tell Su Yunlai about this, she didn't want her to feel embarrassed, and it could be regarded as the thoughtfulness of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

However, Su Yunlai is a smart person, and he quickly noticed Su Yunzhen's strangeness, and he has already made up his mind that he will not bring her again in the future.

Before dinner, Chen took Su Yunlai and the sisters to leave Zhuangzi, and Su Yunzhen and Su Yunlai also took a carriage.

Su Yunzhen seemed to have recovered from the blow during the day today, and she was talking to Su Yunlai all the way.

"This is the first time I've spoken to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, I didn't expect him to have such a good temper, such a gentle person, I thought he must be very serious!" Su Yunzhen smiled a little embarrassedly as she spoke.

Su Yunlai thought about it, Li Sheng had a natural sense of intimacy, warm and gentle, which made people can't help but get close, what Su Yunzhen said was right, so he nodded.

"His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has a noble status, but he can still be so approachable, it's really rare!" Su Yunzhen said approvingly: "Seeing that he is also very considerate to the princess, he has changed my brother, so he doesn't have the patience to accompany me to visit the garden!" ”

Su Yunlai was a little strange, she had always felt that Su Yunzhen admired Gu Junyan very much, why did she keep saying good things about Li Sheng now? Could it be that he was attracted by Li Sheng today and changed his mind?

"His Royal Highness is indeed very good to the princess." Su Yunlai said with a smile.

Su Yunzhen glanced at her, and said with some envy: "But Your Highness is also very good to you, I heard that you were injured in the last fire, and he personally sent someone to send medicine over!" It is also well-intentioned. ”

A man's 'well-intentioned' for a woman is not a good word.

Su Yunlai said solemnly: "That's just because Your Highness is grateful to me for saving the princess, and it doesn't mean anything else." ”

Su Yunzhen smiled ambiguously, she gently touched Su Yunlai's arm: "You and my sister, are you still hiding from me?" His Royal Highness's status is noble, the future is unspeakably expensive, if you can get the favor of His Royal Highness, the future is unlimited, seventh sister, don't blame your sister for being troublesome, they are all their own sisters, my sister is also thinking about you, the princess is close to you, you have saved the princess, and the ability is a little more than others, you have to seize the opportunity! ”

"Women should be virtuous and virtuous, self-respecting and self-loving, but if there is an opportunity, it is also necessary to grasp it boldly, if you miss it, it is too late to regret it!" Su Yunzhen persuaded bitterly.

Su Yunlai completely understood at this time that Su Yunzhen was persuading her to approach Li Sheng!

Su Yunlai couldn't help but feel a little strange, what is this for? What good does it do for Su Yunzhen for her to get close to Li Sheng? If she really married Li Sheng and had a noble status, it would be very troublesome for Su Yunzhen, why did she pry her so much to get close to Li Sheng?

However, although Su Yunlai was puzzled, he didn't show it on his face, he just smiled at her, pretending not to understand.

Su Yunzhen knew what Su Yunzhen did the next day, and it was Su Zhan who told her.

This matter was told to Su Zhan privately by the people around Gu Junyan, in fact, there was no other meaning, just to let Su Zhan remind Su Yunlai and let her let Su Yunzhen go, after all, Su Yunzhen's purpose is unclear now, which is really unreassuring.

Su Zhan was furious after hearing this, he never thought that Su Yunfei dared to dive in the second prince before, and now Su Yunzhen actually dared to block Gu Junyan, what happened to the people in this mansion? Are you crazy for glory and wealth?

Su Zhan turned around and found Su Yun and told Su Yun about it.

"You went to see the princess, how could you take her with you? Who knows what is in her heart! When I heard the news today, I almost died! How could she not know shame! Su Zhan said indignantly.

Su Yunlai was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Su Yunzhen to be so persistent in Gu Junyan.

"But when you say that, it solves the doubts in my heart." Su Yunlai thought about it and said with a chuckle.

"What?" Su Zhan asked.

Su Yunlai thought of Su Yunzhen sparing no effort to talk about Li Sheng's benefits yesterday, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, she told Su Zhan what Su Yunzhen said yesterday.

"Originally, I thought it was strange, but now I understand, it turns out that she is worried that I am the same as her, and I also admire the young general, so she told me about the benefits of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson." Su Yun said and shook his head helplessly.

Su Yunlai is the life-saving benefactor of Princess Wuyang, and in this regard, she has more advantages than Su Yunzhen, Su Yunzhen is worried that Su Yunlai will become her competitor, so she wants to divert Su Yunlai's attention, and she is also well-intentioned.
