Chapter 189: Congratulations
Chapter 189: Congratulations
The tea fragrance in the room is quiet, the private room is elegant, and there are three female children playing the piano.
Xin Chaoyang and Gu Bainiang sat opposite each other, the two looked at each other, and Gu Bainiang smiled brightly.
"Congratulations to the eldest young master...", she smiled, and raised her glass with tea instead of wine.
Xin Chaoyang smiled a little far-fetched, raised his glass and tasted it shallowly.
"He's happy," he said with a chuckle.
Gu Banniang's expression was slightly condensed, this topic is not easy to talk about, after all, it is a major matter of marriage and there is a difference between men and women.
Xin Chaoyang has a cup of tea after a cup of tea, the room music is melodious, but the atmosphere is extremely dull.
Gu Bainiang finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"What? People like the eldest young master, are there still things to do? She said with a smile, "This is tea, not wine, so you can't worry about it." ”
Lingbao snorted on the side, and couldn't help but ask, "Which family's daughter did the eldest young master say?" ”
Gu Bainiang frowned slightly and glanced at her, signaling her not to be rude.
Xin Chaoyang smiled, "The Zhao family of Hengyang Mansion, as well as the Jiankang Qu family." ”
"Hengyang Zhao family?" Gu Bainiang's eyes flashed slightly and asked.
The Zhao family in Hengyang, that is, Shen Anlin's maternal grandfather's family, turned out to be their family....
"They are all wealthy families, congratulations to the eldest young master." She laughed quickly.
Whether it is the Jiankang Qu family or the Hengyang Zhao family, they are all official eunuch families, such family backgrounds, extremely heavy lintels, and will never marry with merchants, no matter how wealthy the merchants are, they are also disdainful of these families.
I didn't expect to talk to the Xinjia at the same time, which was indeed a great joy for the Xinjia.
Salary Anyang is still lonely, pouring himself a cup.
"Eighteen Niang, please." He raised his glass.
Gu Bainiang took a sip as she said, and hesitated slightly: "What the hell is going on?" Could it be that this family business is not to your liking? ”
Anyway, I laughed first, how is this possible?
"What's in it if I don't agree?" Xin Chaoyang laughed at himself and raised his eyes to look at her.
Really undesirable? Gu Bainiang was a little surprised.
"I'm interested in someone..."Xin Chaoyang said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, Gu Bainiang and Lingbao's faces changed slightly.
Xin Chaoyang did not continue, but continued to pour tea and drink himself.
This family affair is tantamount to a golden phoenix falling from the sky for the Xin family, no matter which way it is said, there is no reason to refuse, as the future head of the Xin family, Xin Chaoyang has no choice.
A trace of sympathy appeared on Gu Banniang's face, Xin Chaoyang was not young, she always thought that people like him were enough to be free and easy and not be bound by foreign objects, but in the end, it was difficult to escape the shackles of responsibility.
She looked at Xin Chaoyang, and Xin Chaoyang also raised her eyes to look over, her eyes were facing each other, Xin Chaoyang's eyes showed unspeakable affection, Gu Banniang was stunned, and immediately looked away, lowered her head and picked up the teacup.
Once again, there was only melodious music in the room, and no human voices were heard.
"How is the eldest young master doing?" Gu Bainiang asked suddenly, with a smile in her voice.
"I'm helpless..."Xin Chaoyang said in a low voice, revealing a sense of powerlessness, and there was a bit of struggle and trembling in his voice.
Gu Bainiang sighed lightly, no matter what the interests of the family are the most important at any time, this point, the letter Chaoyang of the shopping mall has been deeply imprinted in the soul.
It's understandable, it's irreproachable, it's just that she still can't help but feel a little cold.
The change in Gu Bainiang's expression naturally fell in Xin Chaoyang's eyes, and a complicated look flashed on his face.
"Eighteen Niang, I hope you don't look down on me because of this...."He raised his teacup and whispered.
"How so?" Gu Bainiang said with a smile, brushing her sleeves with one hand and holding a cup with the other.
The teacup touched with a soft sound.
Not long ago, the man accompanied her for the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, showing her true feelings, and she hesitated for a while, and finally raised her glass to each other.
"I believe it."
The sound was still in my ears, but the sound of the teacups touching again meant that everything changed.
"Sure enough, it's the same person who has fallen to the end of the world...."She couldn't help but smile and said.
Xin Chaoyang looked up at her, as if to say more.
"After all, it's a big happy event, don't say it's so sad..."Gu Banniang smiled, cut him off, and diverted the topic, "So, which one is the Hengyang Zhao family and the Jiankang Qu family?" ”
Xin Chaoyang smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, I would like to ask Gu Niangzi's opinion..."
"My opinion?" Gu Banniang smiled, "I have..."
"I just want to hear from you." Xin Chaoyang interrupted her and said in a deep voice, with a little sadness in his voice.
Gu Bainiang was slightly stunned, and looked at Xin Chaoyang.
Xin Chaoyang raised his eyes to look at her, and said again: "This is the only choice I can have...."
His eyes flashed with undisguised affection, Gu Bainiang suddenly felt a pain in her eyes, she couldn't help but close her eyes, and at the same time, a coldness spread out from the bottom of her heart, and her mind suddenly became clear.
I see....so it is....the hand on the table can't help but bend slowly.
"Miss?" Lingbao noticed the change in her expression and hurriedly whispered.
Gu Bainiang opened her eyes, and the coldness in her eyes flashed, so fast that she didn't even notice it.
"Eighteen Niang..."Xin Chaoyang looked over with concern, "but it's okay?" ”
Good? Lingbao bit her lower lip and glared at him hatefully, it was all your Miss gaffe, although she didn't see this man in the morning, but she didn't want to see Miss sad, even if her brother was sad in the end.
"I've been lying down for too long, and I'm always a little weak..."Gu Banniang smiled, smiled, and reached out to press her forehead.
"Then you still have to rest more, so don't bother..."Xin Chaoyang got up and said.
"No, you don't." Gu Bainiang raised her hand to stop him, "Since the eldest young master can afford me, I will dare to make a choice for the eldest young master." ”
Xin Chaoyang stopped and looked at her.
There seemed to be a hint of emotion on the quiet face of the woman in front of her, right? She is so clever that she must understand her feelings, and everything will go according to her expectations.
That's right, right? There are many words in the heart of Xin Chaoyang's heart suddenly have a touch of difficult emotions, in fact, in the past month, he has been troubled by this emotion.
No, it shouldn't be like this, it is necessary to do so, there is no right or wrong.
"Young Master, do you really want me to say it?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Gu Bainiang asked again, her fingers, which were a little yellowed because of the medicine, stroked the teacup, and looked like a smile.
Being stared at by the pair of dark eyes, Xin Chaoyang's hand couldn't help but tighten slightly.
"Yes." He spat out a word, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
"I don't know much, but I've heard my brother talk about it, the Zhao family in Hengyang is not very familiar, most of them are in the army, but you and I both know the Jiankang Qu family, not to mention our locals, and besides, the Qu family Qu Zongfang has just been transferred to the head of the household department..."Gu Bainiang said seriously, "The head of the household department... That's a good job, for those of us like us..."
She smiled meaningfully, and the businessman will be well taken care of.
"I don't know, which room is the young lady of the Qu family?" After a moment's hesitation, she asked in a low voice.
"Lord Zongfang's cousin, the eldest daughter of the family..."Xin Chaoyang also replied in a low voice.
Once again, there was silence in the room.
"That's good... I've heard of this young lady too... I heard that virtuous and virtuous..."Gu Banniang said with a smile.
It's just that this smile is extremely far-fetched in Xin Chaoyang's eyes, he looked at Gu Bainiang and didn't speak.
"My mother should be going home, please forgive me for retiring first..."Gu Bainiang stood up, lowered her eyes and said, without waiting for Chaoyang to get up, she went out first.
The shoulders shrank slightly, and the back was very lonely.
"Eighteen Niang..."Xin Chaoyang called after him, wanting to say, but he was speechless.
Gu Bainiang's footsteps paused slightly, and she didn't look back, and then walked out quickly, Lingbao glanced at Xin Chaoyang with hatred again, and slammed the door shut.
Xin Chaoyang stood in place, looking at the disappearing back, a touch of bitterness slowly spread at the corners of his mouth, he sat down, looking at the empty seat opposite for a long time.
As expected, he once again won the situation, but for that, he was so sad in his heart.
Following Gu Bainiang, who was walking quickly, Lingbao almost trotted to keep up.
"Miss..."Sitting in the carriage, Lingbao couldn't help but be sad anymore, and her eyes were red, "Miss, you cry when you're sad...."
Her words came to an abrupt end, because Gu Bainiang on the other side was smiling, but this smile carried Sen Sen's coldness, but there was no sadness at all.
"Am I sad?" She smiled, stroking her rough calloused hand, "Wrong, who is sad is not necessarily"
Saying that, he raised his eyebrows and smiled at Lingbao, "Bao'er, let's wait and see." ”
Lingbao was a little stunned by her laughter, and then became even more sad, Miss must have been too sad, but she couldn't say it.
"Miss..."She hugged Gu Bainiang and sobbed in a low voice.
Gu Banniang laughed and patted her to reassure, "Fool, are you crying?" Where's our turn to cry," she looked out the street through the screen window, her smile condensing on her lips.
Yes, this time, anyone can cry, but the one who cries will never be her.
The days passed slowly, Peng Yizhen's fame became more and more famous, and Gu Bainiang also began to concoct the medicine one after another.
After making ten medicines on this day, he sat down in the study, and looked at what Gu Hai had written about his journey, and Lingbao hurried in.
"Miss, the letter family's marriage invitation," she said, holding an invitation in her hand.
Gu Bainiang put down the letter when she heard this, and stretched out her hand excitedly, "Quick, let me see..."
Lingbao handed it over with a little reluctance, "Miss, it's back to Jiankang to do it, let's ignore it..."
Gu Banniang had already opened it, glanced at it, and laughed.
"Sure enough," she smiled and stroked her palm.
Lingbao was startled, and looked at Gu Bainiang worriedly, Miss was hurt and laughed....
"Pretty fast... October 23 Jiankang is getting married, October 25, a small banquet in the capital...."Gu Bainiang looked at the invitation in her hand and smiled, "This is specially done for me..." ”
"Miss..."Lingbao was more and more confused by what she said, "You really want to go?" ”
"Of course, I'm just waiting for this day," Gu Banniang said with a smile, and stood up energetically, "Go, call the housekeeper, and prepare a generous gift." ”
Lingbao stood depressed and didn't move, took the invitation and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Miss, that man is married... It's the Zhao family...", she hurriedly waved the invitation.
Gu Bainiang had already stepped out, and when she heard the words, she smiled back, "That's right, it's exactly what I want." ”
"But, Miss, didn't you say that he should choose the composer..."Lingbao said puzzledly, stomping his feet angrily, "This bad guy is still coaxing Miss..."
Gu Bainiang laughed, "Wrong, Lingbao, he really made me happy by doing this." ”
She laughed and walked away, personally instructing the butler to prepare the gift, leaving Lingbao standing in place with a puzzled expression.
On October 25th, the new upstart of the Beijing medicine store Xin Chaoyang set a family banquet to invite friends in Beijing, as a new star rising in the Beijing medicine industry in a short period of time, it is natural to gather guests as soon as it is called, and the Xinjia mansion purchased in the capital is very lively, because it is not a wedding banquet, so the traditional marriage ceremony will not appear, but everyone gets together for a meal.
"It's Miss Yan of the Zhao family in Hengyang..."
"The Zhao family in Hengyang is extremely powerful in the army..."
"And what about in the army? If you pick it up carefully, it's not as good as Jiankang Qujia..."
"You know the in-laws of the Zhao family, but the Jiankang Shen family..."
"The Shen family? Fuyuan Gong Shen's family? ”
The hall was crowded with people, and there was a sound of discussion, and I suddenly heard the loud report of the person at the door: "Jiankang Gu Niangzi congratulates the gift"
Hearing this name, the noise in the hall was lowered, and they all looked out of the door, about Xin Chaoyang and Gu Ba Niang, there are rumors in the medicine industry, the two are men and women, since Gu Ba Niang came out of the school, it is to cooperate with this great life, everyone thought that this Gu Niang would definitely cooperate with the Xin family permanently in the future, but they didn't expect that Xin Chaoyang would suddenly get married.
It seems that that kind of speculation is false, otherwise, if Xin Chaoyang chooses someone else, this Gu lady should turn her face, how can she personally send a congratulatory gift.
However, this kind of result is still the happiest for everyone to see, this great pharmacist finally belongs to more than just Dayousheng.
Thinking about it, Gu Bainiang had already stepped in, well-dressed, full of smiles, and everywhere she went, she said hello.
Xin Chaoyang walked over from the crowd and saw Gu Bainiang, and there was a sudden chuckle in his heart, and an ominous pre-cold came out.
This feeling was too ridiculous, he couldn't help but shake his head away, and once again looked at Gu Bainiang who was coming over everyone.
The girl's expression was bright, her smile was like a flower, and her eyes shone with a light he had never seen before, this kind of light, as bright as a sharp spear.
"Congratulations, young master." Gu Bainiang stood still in front of him, smiling and saluting.
"Thank you for coming..."Xin Chaoyang's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice.
The corners of Gu Bainiang's mouth hooked up with a smile, and she looked at him meaningfully, "Where, where, I can't help but come." ”
Xin Chaoyang looked at her, silent.
Gu Banniang smiled and entered the table, greeting the familiar pharmacists, during the banquet, Xin Chaoyang's eyes fell on Gu Banniang from time to time, seeing her smiling and happy, Xin Chaoyang's brows frowned slightly, he already knew that this girl was introverted and her emotions were not exposed, but she was too powerful to do this, unless, she was not sad at all...
Is that so? Xin Chaoyang's hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but clench, how could it be? Clearly...
Gu Bainiang suddenly beckoned to him.
Putting away his thoughts, Xin Chaoyang walked over, Gu Bainiang left the table, and looked at him with a smile next to the pillar in the hall.
"What?" Xin Chaoyang looked at her with a smile and asked in a low voice.
Gu Bainiang also looked at him with a smile, "I prepared three brocades for you, tattooed with a thousand taels of silver, and a set of heads and faces for your lady... Do you think so? ”
Xin Chaoyang looked at her, did not speak, his eyes flashed with a hint of heartbreaking tenderness, and nodded.
"Oh, there's a big gift." Gu Banniang smiled, stood over a few steps, and motioned for him to come over with his ear.
They were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats clearly.
Xin Chaoyang leaned over as he said and looked at the girl's white jade-like face.
"I'll tell you..."Gu Bainiang said in a low voice, with a hint of bewitching light in her eyes, "At most, in three years, the Hengyang Zhao family will be defeated..."
As if a flash of thunder exploded in his ears, Xin Chaoyang's face changed greatly, and he looked at Gu Shibanniang.
The smile on Gu Banniang's face was still thick, revealing her thin teeth, flashing with white light, she hooked her hand, approached Xin Chaoyang again, and said in a low voice: "... Presumably you have analyzed my Gu family very well, the Qu family and the Zhao family, although my Gu family has a big member of the court, but I have a very poor relationship with the clan, and my brother is a petty official who offends the powerful and is disgusted by the emperor, naturally it can't be compared with these two families, of course I know..."
As she spoke, she gently patted Xin Chaoyang's shoulder, "I know that the Qu family is still better than the Zhao family when it comes to detail, but you chose the Zhao family for the sake of my feelings... I thank you for your kindness... If you don't choose the woman I like as your wife, you can do it for me, it's really good... But you chose the wrong one, no, it doesn't mean that you chose the wrong one, it's just... You're out of luck......."
Xin Chaoyang's face was already blue, he looked at the girl in front of him, his smile was still like a flower, but the smiling voice was already full of coldness.
She knew, she knew, she even saw it all, it was chilling to understand.
She's just a teenage girl, how could she... How could it be... This is the kind of heart-like eyes, which can see the hearts of people in the world so thoroughly, and the hearts of the people are so cold and cold.
He has pondered human affection for more than ten years, and he has been at ease for more than ten years, and he is like a red luo in front of this girl.
"Don't deny yourself if you are been..."Gu Banniang smiled, "Actually, I didn't think about it so much, I shouldn't have been, you shouldn't have asked me to choose a family for you..." More than enough is too much... However, I believe that after this incident, the eldest young master will never make this mistake again in the future, and his intelligence will definitely go further, which is still gratifying..."
Xin Chaoyang looked at her, his face changed, and he moved his mouth slightly and let out a low voice, "For?" ”
Gu Bainiang looked at him, her eyes were like a deep pool.
"You have affection for me, although it can't be worth the greater good, I won't blame you if you just leave, it's just that you shouldn't want the greater good, and you won't let me have this vested interest..."She said slowly, "... Not everything in this world can be a win-win situation... And... I hate it most than anything other than others calculating me... Especially to calculate me with feelings...."
Xin Chaoyang looked at her and was silent.
"I can't say if you're a good person, but, I, Gu Banniang, am really not a good person...."Gu Ba Niang stood a few steps away, looked at him and smiled, and bent her hand in front of him, "... I'm a claw....I'll hurt if you mess with me...."
Xin Chaoyang looked at the girl in front of him, showing a smile, the gentle and quiet breath in his eyes suddenly disappeared, revealing a beast-like rage, this kind of breath he had seen, that day's Jiankang Medicine Guild Hall, she looked at Baohetang and the others, and that day's big medicine competition field, she was like this to Master Dong.
Now, in front of him, she finally showed such anger, stretched out her hand, and scratched his face mercilessly.

It feels so good to do it in one go, I write it happily, and you can read it too! I can't wait to write it to the end in one go, but it seems that there are many more things, haha.
