There are not many courtyards away from the village, most of them are lush flower and tree pavilions, not far from the corridor along the copying hand, it is a plum forest, pressing the white snow, can not tell where is the snow and which is the flower, there is a faint fragrance to come.

It's just that the two of them were not interested in enjoying the flowers at this time, so they stopped in the flower pavilion.

After the little maid laid out the fox mattress, Gu Mingzhu sat down and said with a slight smile: "The eldest lady may as well say it directly." ”

Of course, Zheng Yuan didn't really want to enjoy the flowers with her, but she had something to say, and what she said was probably related to Cui Lin, Gu Mingzhu had a bottom in her heart, but she was not in a hurry.

Zheng Yuan watched her sit comfortably on the mattress, holding the stove in her hand, looking at herself leisurely, her face was even more gloomy, she finally sat down and opened her mouth: "The county lord is familiar with Lizhuang, Linlang has always been hospitable and kind to people, so he can make many friends, and even a side branch like Cui Hai came to visit today." ”

Gu Mingzhu could hear the meaning of her words, and chuckled: "It is quiet and elegant away from the village, and the guests who come all praise it, the eldest lady is here for the first time, so it is good to take a good walk and take a look, such a scenery is rare." ”

Zheng Yuan's face turned a little blue when she heard this, and the implication of her words was that Cui Lin had always had a wide range of contacts, and even a side branch like Cui Hai was invited to Lizhuang as a guest, and it was not a big deal that Gu Mingzhu came, but it was an identity with the side branch, not an important guest.

didn't expect Gu Mingzhu to say a word, and directly pointed out that she had never been invited over, and asked her to take a walk in Lizhuang, and the opportunity to come again next time would be rare, and he embarrassed her mercilessly, making her even more resentful.

She endured her anger and waved away the maid of the Cui family who was waiting in the flower hall, before she looked at Gu Mingzhu: "The county lord is from the Chang'an Guifu, and I am afraid that I don't know much about the affairs of the family." ”

Gu Mingzhu expected that she was going to talk about the Cui family, and now if there is anything else that can stop Cui Lin and her, it is only the identity of the Cui family, she said lightly: "Please advise the eldest lady." ”

Zheng Yuan raised his head slightly, with innate pride: "The Cui family is the first clan since the Wei Dynasty, when Emperor Gaozu opened the dynasty to set the "Clan Chronicles", the Cui family is the first surname in the world, these must be known to the county lord." She said, but showed a contemptuous smile, "But the county lord doesn't know that the Cui family can come to this day, and the support of my Zheng family is inseparable. ”

"The children of the Cui clan are also intermarried with several major clans, so as to consolidate the relationship, form a good marriage, and make a hundred-year covenant, but although other clans also have marriages, they are the most intimate with the Zheng clan after all, because the Cui and Zheng clans are the most related and the most powerful, if the two clans are divided, the family is weak, and if the two clans are together, the family is strong, which is the common understanding of the elders of the Cui and Zheng clans for hundreds of years."

When she said this, her voice was soft and soft, with a sweet smile on her face: "I have known Linlang since I was a child, and my childhood sweetheart has no guesses, and I have long known about the marriage between Cui Zheng and Zheng, and I know that Linlang and I ...... Mrs. Cui and my aunt have never avoided Linlang and me, and we both understand that this is a major event in the rise and fall of the family, so the eldest lady will treat me as if I were her own. ”

When she said this, she paused and deliberately looked at Gu Mingzhu, as if waiting for her to respond to her words.

When Gu Mingzhu heard about the Cui Zheng family, her face was still a little solemn, after all, the marriage of the family is a custom for hundreds of years, Cui Lin is a member of the family after all, and he must not be able to escape such an arrangement, if she wants to get rid of the control of the family, but she doesn't know how much effort it will take, she is indeed worried about this.

Just when she heard Zheng Yuan talk about her marriage to Cui Lin, she couldn't help but laugh a little, and when she saw Zheng Yuan looking at her, she nodded and said that she heard: "So what? ”

Zheng Yuan choked up angrily, she talked about it, but Gu Mingzhu seemed to have nothing to do, could it be that she was still brazen and refused to give up?

She had to continue as planned: "The county lord still doesn't understand! Now Linlang is just a momentary willfulness, he grew up in Boling Cui Mansion, since he was a child, he has a noble status, and the people he sees are the best in the family, and he is also surrounded by the best ladies of the Cui family and other families, so when he came to Chang'an to meet people outside, it is inevitable that there is a bit of novelty, and it is just a temporary interest, after all, it will not last long. ”

When she said this, she didn't believe that Gu Mingzhu was embarrassed to pretend to be fine.

Gu Mingzhu did respond, but chuckled: "Mrs. Zheng originally thought so. ”

Zheng Yuan saw that Gu Mingzhu was still so calm and quiet, and she still didn't make any waves, and the resentment in her heart added another layer, she couldn't care about her face to say this, she didn't expect that the woman in front of her could still sit still, it seemed that she was iron-hearted!

She couldn't care about it anymore, and said in a fit of anger: "The county lord probably thinks that Linlang is the son of the Cui family, and his status is valued by the clan, if he really rebels against the will of the clan for the sake of a momentary interest, the clan may be angry, but he will finally agree according to his wishes." ”

"It's a pity that it may not be as the county lord wishes, the Cui family is the most cautious in abiding by the rules, and attaches great importance to the family, and never allows the children to marry people outside the family, even if the lady marries, she has to go to the identity of the family to intermarry with a foreign surname, and the Cui family Yu Niang that the county lord saw is like this."

"Not only that, but there is not only one outstanding child in the Cui clan, but also Lin Lang, the Cui family's Changfang Sanlang, Jiulang, Erfang Dalang, and Sanfang Shilang are all dragons and phoenixes among people, with extraordinary qualifications, if it weren't for Linlang's extraordinary talent since he was a child, and his intelligence was too ordinary, he would not have been designated as the son of the clan so early, but even so, those few are also highly valued by the clan, and there are many people who support them, if Linlang has a mistake, I am afraid that the position of the son of the sect will fall into their hands, and the Cui family will not allow a woman with a foreign surname who is not a family to be the clan wife."

When she said this, she looked at Gu Mingzhu with a pair of wonderful eyes: "Does the county lord really want to watch Lin Lang fall into the clan for the sake of this freshness and lose his identity?" ”

Gu Mingzhu's face turned cold, and she looked at Zheng Yuan coldly: "I understand what Lady Zheng said, but there are other words?" ”

Zheng Yuan didn't expect that his words were finished, although Gu Mingzhu's face was a little unsightly, he still didn't say anything, let alone be angry, what he just said was like a small stone thrown into the water, and it disappeared without a trace.

She was shocked and angry: "Is it difficult for the county lord to refuse to give up?" ”

Gu Mingzhu sneered: "Mrs. Zheng told me so much, but I don't understand, since these are the Cui family's affairs, Cui Lin should be thinking about and worrying about them, and they should also be his own ideas to solve the matter, if there is really anything, he should come to discuss with me, I don't know why the eldest lady came to talk to me about this?" Could it be that the eldest lady is not the lady of the Zheng family, but the eldest lady of the Cui family? ”

Zheng Yuan's face was blood-red, her body trembled, and Gu Mingzhu's words were like a slap in the face, making her unable to say a word, and she was ashamed and angry.
