Chapter Twenty-Three: Tonight and Night
"I haven't seen you go to Yangliuyuan to drink flower wine for a few days!" Eldest Sun Qi walked into Gu Tingjun's room slowly with a fan, dressed in red, with an unstoppable confidence, "Are you planning to change your face and become a new person? Wouldn't your father be so happy! But are you stimulated by something? You don't hang around outside these days, what are you doing at home?"
"What do you have to do with it?" Gu Tingjun held a picture scroll in his hand, glanced at him, and said lightly.
"Aren't you afraid of that Miss Zheng Er?" Changsun Qi raised his eyebrows, looking at a joke, "She let her go, which Qinglou dares to receive you, she will go and smash which!" In the past, those old bustards in Qinglou saw you as if they had seen the God of Wealth, and they couldn't wait to pounce on you immediately, but now I'm afraid that they will treat you as a ghost, please worship God and Buddha to let you not go again!"
"Zheng Peizhi?" Gu Tingjun had a look of contempt on his face, "This little girl doesn't teach a lesson at all." But I still don't think of her in my eyes, this person is too arrogant, and she will always suffer in the future!"
"That's, this kind of eldest lady, that man is willing to marry? There is a Hedong lion in the family, where will you have a good life in the future?"
"Are you old and foolish to be my father?" Gu Tingjun sneered, "She has a good reputation, whoever marries her, who has no peace, my father likes to be quiet the most, how can he make trouble for himself!"
"That's!" Eldest Sun Qi smiled and snatched the picture scroll from Gu Tingjun's hand, on this picture scroll was a girl, her eyebrows were very delicate, revealing a sense of alienated coldness, but she was not a stunning beauty, he asked strangely, "Who is this girl? Look at you intently, whose girl can make Gu Sangongzi, who is above the sky, look at it twice?" No wonder I don't go to ease these days, it turns out that I have a sweetheart!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Tingjun snatched the scroll over, "I just think this girl is quite interesting!"
"Interesting? The beginning of being attracted to a woman comes from being interested in her!" "However, you should be careful with this mind, if Miss Zheng Er knows, this little girl will be in trouble!"
Gu Tingjun's face turned slightly, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "She may not be Zheng Peizhi's opponent!"
"Oh?" the eldest grandson Qi became interested, "so powerful, who is this girl?"
"You'll know each other sooner or later!" Gu Tingjun slowly rolled up the scroll, "What are you doing with me today?"
"I believe you should have heard about the strange thing that happened in the capital recently, right?" Eldest Sun Qi asked, "The fifth lady of the Qihou Mansion has inexplicably become a disciple of Gong You, not to mention, she has also become a heavenly maiden! Tell me how many years we have not had this so-called celestial maiden in Da Zhou, it has been decades, right? What is the origin of this girl? And I heard that she was still a fool before, but after Ziwei Palace was struck by lightning, she suddenly opened her mind, there is really such a magical thing in this world?" But no matter how absurd and unruly things come out of Gong You's mouth, they are always believable, but I don't think it's simple!"
"What does this matter have to do with you?" Gu Tingjun asked, "Why meddle?"
"The identity of this celestial maiden is not ordinary! Ziwei Palace almost never takes sides in political struggles, but its status is very important!" "Eldest Sun Qi said, "If you can win over this celestial maiden for the second prince, wouldn't you also win over Ziwei Palace?"
"What can you think of, the people in the East Palace can't think of it?" Gu Tingjun said, "What's more, this girl has a lot to do with the people over there, so it's better for you to stay away from her!
"Don't look at you staying at home these days, you can hear things clearly!" Eldest Sun Qi confidently lifted his sideburns, "I naturally know that she has a marriage contract, but what is that Qi Junyu, how does it compare with my son? In terms of family background, appearance, and talent, is there a place that can compare with me? Wait for me to seduce this heavenly maiden, and cook raw rice and rice! With my heavenly appearance, I am not ready to catch it!"
Gu Tingjun sneered: "Then I'll wait and see!"
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about the Heavenly Maiden in the capital, so that Qi Junyu also has mixed feelings in his heart, as the fiancé of the Heavenly Maiden, he, a little transparent in the eyes of the nobles in the capital, has also been in the spotlight these days.
As the second son of the Qi family, he desperately wants to prove himself, although he married the Qi Hou Mansion, but because the other party is a fool, he has been ridiculed and ridiculed, and he has no chance with the heir, who would want the head of the Qi family to be a fool in the future? Because of this marriage, he has become a laughing stock, how not to hate the woman who brought him bad luck!
He really wants her to die, only when she dies can he be freed, why should his life be tied up with a fool?
He approached Su Chengle and fell in love with the power of the Liu family behind her, if he could marry Su Chengle, then he would definitely fall into his father's eyes and become the heir of the Qi family, so when Su Chengle talked about finding a way to get rid of Su Cheng'an in the most humiliating way, he would not hesitate to agree, because the evil anger that had accumulated in his heart for more than ten years also needed to be vented!
But what he didn't expect was that things had changed, if he could have thought that Su Tang'an would one day have a relationship with Ziwei Palace and become a heavenly maiden, that foolish decision, he would definitely not do it!
If you marry the Heavenly Maiden, then with your relationship with Ziwei Palace, you will definitely be able to become the target of all forces, which is much stronger than marrying Su Chengle. It's just that she did something to hurt Su Tang'an, how much does she know about that matter now? Is there any room for redemption?
She had a deep affection for herself before, and now she only has clever words to coax her, and she will definitely be able to make her not marry herself! It will be her birthday in a few days, and she must show it well, and by the way, discuss it with Qi Hou, and give the marriage as soon as possible!
Lingyue Pavilion.
This Lingyue Pavilion has not been inhabited for many years, and although it is clean and decent, it still lacks a little popularity, and it looks a little deserted.
There are a total of more than a dozen people here and outside, all of whom were selected by the second lady, and they can still be trusted a little, but Su Liu's Yu Wei is still there, and he has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, so it is difficult to say whether there is her eyeliner or not.
Now that Su Cheng'an has a separate yard, some things will inevitably have to be dealt with here in the future, so the people here must be clean and trustworthy.
Qing'er took a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup inside, saw that Su Cheng'an was burning something, and looked at it curiously, a few pieces of paper, with strange graphics drawn on them, it seemed that she had drawn them before, she couldn't understand it, and asked, "Miss, what are you drawing?"
"It's nothing, something has been appearing in my mind recently, think about it, draw it, otherwise after a long time, I'm afraid I'll forget!" Su Tang'an said lightly, she got up and walked to the bookshelf, wanting to find a few books that hadn't been finished yet, she paused slightly, turned her head and asked, "Qing'er, have you cleaned up the study today?"
"No, what's wrong?" asked Qing'er suspiciously.
Su Ju'an smiled: "Some people are always uneasy!" said and took out the books from the shelf.
Qing'er brought the lotus seed soup over and asked with a smile: "Miss, it will be your birthday in two days, do you have any plans?"
"Oh?" Su Juan smiled faintly, "I almost forgot about this matter, but I don't like to be lively, it's better to keep it simple!"
"Even if you want to be simple, Miss, others may not be willing to agree!" Qing'er said with a smile, "Miss's identity is different now, this time for the son's birthday, the second lady is afraid that she will give you a good job, invite some relatives and friends, first, so that they can see the fifth lady who is different from the Hou Mansion now, and then the second lady can also show her style as the head of the house!"
"What you said makes sense, I'm thinking too simple about this matter!" Su Cheng'an said with a small sip of lotus seed soup, "The second lady can do whatever she wants, I don't have any opinions here!"
"Miss doesn't care at all!" Qing'er said with a smile, "What's the matter, it's also a day when our fifth miss has been ridiculed for many years, although the slave maid was not by Miss's side at that time, but I heard a lot of things about them bullying Miss, and now Miss is different from the past, and I want to see how their faces are!"
"It's human nature to step on red and white, those people are not bad people, but they are just ordinary people!" Su Juan smiled faintly.
"That's right!" Qing'er took out a letter from her sleeve, handed it to Su Cheng'an, and said contemptuously, "This is Qi Junyu's letter to Miss, he still has a face* What about you! Have you forgotten how you treated Miss in the first place? Now that Miss is a disciple of Gongyou Zhenren, she hurried up again, it is really disgusting, this person is really shameless, Miss must not be deceived by this person again!"
Su Cheng'an opened the letter and glanced at it, it was nothing more than writing sweet words to please her, and secretly slandered Su Chengle, pushing all the things that happened before on her, and she was a white lotus who had no choice but to be deceived.
"It's really shameless enough, not only did he live up to Su Chengle's fool before, but he also blinded Su Chengle's sincerity!" Su Cheng'an sneered, "Compared to him, Su Chengle is still daring, and this guy is also worthy of being a man!"
"Do you want to give him a letter back and scold him?"
"What are you going to do with him?" Su Cheng'an smiled coldly, "I'll have to clean up this guy sooner or later!"
