Perhaps he heard the conversation between Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan wrongly, and mistakenly thought that Cheng Yan wanted to marry a wife, He Chutai, the prince of Maoguo, shook the folding fan, and Jiao'er Lang came to him locally: "Lord Cheng, I told you, I have a sister-in-law, who is sixteen years old this year, born as beautiful as a fairy and has a gentle temperament, and is the most compatible with Lord Cheng." She's also coming to dinner today, see you later? ”

Cheng Yan endured the impatience in his heart and smiled politely at him: "No need, I have no intention of marrying a wife for the time being, let's talk about it later." ”

Among the many families who want to marry Cheng Yan, the He family of Maoguo Gong is Cheng Yan's least disliked, not only because they are still entangled after being rejected and can't get rid of it like a dog skin plaster, but also because they don't want to marry their daughter, but intend to recruit money.

On the one hand, there are nobles who have been heirs for generations, and on the other hand, there are poor scholars from the imperial examinations, the gap between the families is so big, and Cheng Yan is alone without a father and mother, what kind of calculation the He family has is clearly revealed.

Cheng Yan is not an old-fashioned person, if he really meets a woman he likes, it is not unacceptable to join him. The key is that the He family does not really want to get married, but wants to use the daughter of the family to tie up an upstart in the imperial examination with a shallow foundation, if Cheng Yan becomes the son-in-law of his family, it is no different from selling himself.

In the face of Cheng Yan's alienation, He Chutai suddenly looked for a place beside him and sat down familiarly: "Master Cheng, don't be in a hurry to refuse, let's talk about it when we meet, what if you really fall in love with her at first sight?" ”

Saying that, he pretended to climb Cheng Yan's shoulder intimately and said, "What is the status of my family, there is no need to say more. But you haven't seen my sister, you shouldn't know much about her, you must know that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is good at all female red cooking. Whether it's taking it out to support the scene, or staying at home to serve closely, it's the best thing to warm up and heart. ”

He Chutai's words didn't look like introducing his sister, but like selling goods to customers. is also a person with a younger sister, Gu Yunji frowned when he heard this, and before he could speak, Cheng Yan had already taken the first step to remove He Chutai's hand, and said indifferently: "I have no intention of being someone else's son-in-law, so forget it." ”

He Chutai's face stiffened for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Entering the house is nothing more than the need to live in the woman's house, in fact, it is no different from marrying a wife, you look at Lord Gu Mingxuan, what he said at the beginning was to marry the county lord, and after marriage, don't you still live with the family of Pingyang County Wang?" What's the difference? ”

"Besides, our family doesn't have to be a burden, it's just that Lord Cheng is lonely and wants to give you a home."

Seeing that Cheng Yan was unmoved, He Chutai was entangled for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and pretended to be cheerful: "That's it, when Lord Cheng and my sister become relatives, the first boy you give birth to after marriage will be surnamed Cheng with your surname, how about it?" ”

"He Shizi!"

Cheng Yan stood up suddenly, his face was like frost: "Sister Ling and I have neither a marriage contract nor a mutual relationship, and we have nothing to do with each other, is it too early for the prince to imagine the child's surname now?" What's more, Ling Mei is now a maid in the boudoir, and the prince is not afraid of ruining her reputation if she acts like this? ”

Cheng Yan said directly, leaving no room at all, and He Chutai's face was instantly difficult to look at.

"Miss Gu points me out, which one is Master Cheng Yancheng?"

During the banquet of the female relatives dozens of steps away, He Huishu's eyes searched among the male guests, and she couldn't tell which one was Cheng Yan, so she had to ask Gu Yunqiao next to her.

Gu Yunqiao glanced at her sideways, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and pointed out to her: "It's my brother who is sitting on the chair over there, and the one next to him is Master Cheng." ”

He Huishu looked in the direction pointed by Gu Yunqiao, and when she saw Cheng Yan's handsome and gentle face, her face immediately turned red. She hesitated for a while, endured her shame and asked in Gu Yunqiao's ear, "According to Miss Gu, Master Cheng ...... How is the character? ”

Everyone knew that He Chutai intended to marry his sister to Cheng Yan, but even if he was rejected, he was unwilling and pestered him for a long time. But in the matter of marriage, no matter what the father and brother plan, the woman herself is not easy to interfere with, and now the two have not looked at each other, and the eight characters have not been skimmed, so it is not He Huishu's turn to ask.

Cheng Yan has little contact with people every day, and the only one who can be called friendly is Gu Yunji, if you want to know what his character is, it is indeed the best choice to ask Gu Yunqiao, who has been in contact with him a few times. But the key is that today Gu Yunqiao and He Huishu are also meeting for the first time, and they ask the people they met in Pingshui for news, if the other party's character is unreliable, and they turn their heads to proclaim that she hates to marry, won't her reputation be ruined?

Gu Yunqiao was puzzled, not knowing whether to say that He Huishu was bold or brainless, and she couldn't guess her intentions for a while.

Seeing that Gu Yunqiao hadn't answered for a long time, He Huishu seemed to know that her behavior was out of line, her face changed from blush to pale little by little, and she bit her lip in embarrassment.

Gu Yunqiao and Cheng Yan are not far away, and they are unmarried, so it is difficult to evaluate him, but they can't bear to see He Huishu not coming to the stage, so they pondered the words and said: "Master Cheng, he is upright and upright, and he is a gentleman." As for the personality...... It's quiet and gentle.,Always smiling at people.,Always polite.。 ”

Honest and mild-mannered, a person like Cheng Yan, even if he is forced to marry a wife, he should not be too indifferent to his wife after marriage......

Thinking of this, He Huishu's apprehension weakened a little and relaxed a little.

During the male guest room, he noticed the sights that fell on him, He Chutai's face was a little unbearable, and the previous fake affinity could not be maintained any longer, so he lowered his voice and approached Cheng Yan, and warned: "Cheng Yan, no matter how you say it, my family is also the Guogong Mansion, Lord of the Generations, you are a little imperial examination jinshi, our family recruits you as a son-in-law to look up to you, don't be ashamed." ”

Cheng Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, a chill appeared in his eyes, and he asked coldly: "If I insist on not marrying, can you still tie me hand and foot and force me to worship and get married?" If you can't succeed in courting, you will oppress people with power, this is the behavior of your national government? ”

He Chutai looked provocative: "Yes, this is the behavior of our Guogong Mansion, can you bear us?" As long as we want to, isn't pinching you to death as simple as pinching an ant? ”

Cheng Yan chuckled lightly and said sarcastically: "'Pinch me to death'? He Shizi, you are too arrogant. After all, I, Cheng Yan, am the first-class champion appointed by His Majesty, an official of the imperial court, and I want to use these words to scare me, and I underestimate my courage. ”

"What's more, as far as I know, the Maoguo Mansion has been inherited for many years, and the descendants have gradually become mediocre, and there is no longer the courage of the ancestors. In recent generations, not to mention making meritorious contributions, they have not even been able to pass the Jinshi exam, and they have to rely on the shadow seal to obtain an official position. Even if you want to overwhelm people, you should have enough capital and confidence, right? As far as you are in the waning world, you are embarrassed to press me? ”

He Chutai deliberately lowered his voice, but Cheng Yan's words were loud and loud, attracting many people's side eyes, and He Chutai's face turned blue in an instant.
