Chapter 21
Chapter 20 The hero is a cousin
There was a young master in Hou’s mansion, and that didn’t change much.
Gu Wenjing didn’t have much time to see this cousin except for Peng Sheng’s initiative to come to him and ask him a few words.
After all, his current boss, Hubuyou Shilang, is about to return to his hometown. Gu Wenjing has been focusing on this vacancy, so he has been busy with the work of the Hubu, working hard to make achievements, so that his father and father-in-law can help promote the promotion.
Although Peng Sheng and him are cousins, they are not very familiar with each other. They only work with ordinary relatives living in the house. Peng Sheng usually comes to him if he has any academic questions, and he doesn’t know how to hide himself. The same Peng Sheng was also very winking, and would not bother him casually when he had not many problems accumulated.
Until a few months later, Gu Wenjing’s boss retired, he seized the opportunity to rise up, and took the position of the third-grade household assistant at a young age.
After Gu Wenjing’s appointment, he took it back to the new government and was in a good mood.
Cheng Yuhua helped him put away his official clothes, and planned to wash and iron his upper body. Seeing that he was in a good mood, she hesitated and said: “Husband, I don’t know if I should say something about my concubine…”
Gu Wenjing smiled and said, “What’s the matter?”
Cheng Yuhua said: “It’s Sister Yuan. She often went to the big garden of the Hou Mansion to enjoy the flowers recently, and Master Biao would always pass the garden after asking her mother for an arrangement. Although the two are cousins, they always meet by chance, which is not great. ”
The smile on Gu Wenjing’s face faded. Cheng Yuhua said it implicitly, but he could hear that she wanted to say that Yuan Susu often went to Peng Sheng, the only way to ‘encounter’ Peng Sheng.
Although he was dissatisfied with Yuan Susu and ignored her, and did not regard her as his own woman, Yuan Susu’s behavior still angered him.
Is she trying to change the target of hookup? If Peng Sheng is really confused by her, then the relationship between the Peng family and Ningyuan Hou’s Mansion is going to be broken. After all, the heirs of the Peng family are hooked up with the concubine of the Hou’s heirs. If Ning Yuan Hou knows about this kind of face-slap Fought against the Peng family.
Gu Wenjing didn’t want to be put on a green hat either. After all, no matter how he didn’t wait to see Yuan Susu, she was his woman to outsiders. Yuan Susu hooked up with Peng Sheng. In the eyes of others, it was the two who gave him a green hat. Can be laughed at to death.
Cheng Yuhua noticed that Gu Wenjing seemed to be a little angry, and quickly said: “Don’t worry, your concubine has ordered Sister Yuan to stop her foot. It’s just that her husband is busy with official duties these days, and her mother said not to let her husband be distracted, so she only told her husband today. ”
Gu Wenjing glanced at Cheng Yuhua, and said nothing to her careful thoughts.
Cheng Yuhua’s phrase “Mother also said not to let her husband be distracted” seems to be speaking for Yuan, but it is actually applying eye drops to Yuan.
However, even if Gu Wenjing knew Cheng Yuhua’s careful thoughts, he couldn’t help but feel a little dissatisfied with Yuan’s actions. Yuan asked Cheng Yuhua to hide from him, maybe not to keep him from being distracted, but to keep Yuan Susu. !
Gu Wenjing closed his eyes, feeling a little tired.
Yuan Susu is actually nothing, and the lethality is not that great. She doesn’t know how to roll around, spread rumors, and don’t poison anyone. She just wants to seduce him and go to the top, wanting to earn a lifetime of wealth and glory. But as long as Gu Wenjing doesn’t accept the move and Yuan Susu can do nothing with all kinds of methods, and the man can hold it, Xiao San will not have a chance to intervene.
But Yuan Susu is Yuan’s niece, and Yuan is Gu Wenjing’s current biological mother. With Yuan’s involvement, things that were originally very simple have become so complicated. With Yuan’s backing, Yuan Susu can be pushed down by Gu Wenjing and resurrected with full blood again, and continue to make trouble.
Gu Wenjing has 10,000 ways to rectify Yuan Susu, but he has to worry about his mother Yuan and his uncle who died early.
Uncle Yuan’s uncle died young, and many of the Yuan’s contacts were ultimately left to the Yuan family, which is equivalent to leaving to Gu Wenjing. In this case, just because of this affection, it is destined that Gu Wenjing cannot treat Yuan Susu, the only descendant of the Yuan family.
Even Gu Wenjing still has half of the Yuan family’s blood, but his surname is not Yuan, so in the eyes of the world, only Yuan Susu is the descendant of the Yuan family, even if she is a girl who is not qualified to inherit the Yuan family lineage.
All these situations made Gu Wenjing helpless when dealing with the restless Yuan Susu.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Gu Wenjing opened his eyes and sighed: “Don’t worry about this, I’ll go and tell my mother clearly.”
Gu Wenjing originally thought that because of the face of his mother Yuan and the Yuan family, let Yuan Susu stay in the Hou Mansion to ensure her life and wealth. But as time passed, Yuan Susu couldn’t stop, and he had to do something from time to time. He felt that he was taking this opportunity to have a direct showdown with his mother Yuan.
The next morning, when Gu Wenjing went to invite Yuan to ask for peace, he happened to meet Peng Sheng who also came to ask for peace on the way.
I haven’t seen each other for a long time. The two cousins talked after they greeted him. Gu Wenjing asked him, “I’m going to try soon. How are you preparing?”
Peng Sheng smiled and said: “With my cousin’s advice, I feel that I have made a lot more progress than when I first entered Beijing. I only know if I can pass the test and I have to pass the test.
Gu Wen nodded his head at the scenic spot: “I was busy a few days ago and didn’t have much time. Now I am free, cousin, you can show me your article.”
Of course, Peng Sheng happily agreed.
Peng Sheng admires Gu Wenjing, who is not a few years older than him, but has won the top prize early, and is now promoted to the third-rank household minister’s cousin. After all, his father is still only a fourth-rank prefect.
Although the role of family background is indispensable among them, no matter how good the family background is, without sufficient ability, it is impossible to sit on the position of Zheng Sanpin with real power at such a young age. Which of the officials in the court is not an old fox, if the sought-after official position such as the minister of household department is a mediocre person with a family background, it is impossible to occupy it. After all, although Ningyuan Hou Mansion is a first-rate family in the capital, there are other people who are more related to the background. There is also the Guogong Mansion above the Hou Mansion!
Gu Wenjing and Peng Sheng entered the main room together and greeted Yuan Shi.
As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yuan Susu, who was supposed to be restrained in the West Yard, snuggled beside Yuan’s side and wiped his tears.
Seeing Yuan Susu here, Gu Wenjing subconsciously paid attention to Peng Sheng’s reaction from the corner of his eye.
Then he saw Peng Sheng avoiding Yuan Susu with a clear look, and only greeted Yuan, saying, “Please peace to my aunt!”
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
After Gu Wenjing saluted Yuan’s peace, he found a place to sit down, while Peng Sheng found a reason to retire.
From the beginning to the end, he didn’t look at Yuan Susu more, his eyes were pure and polite.
But I think about it, even if Yuan Susu is so charming, Peng Sheng, a scholar, would never come into contact with his cousin’s concubine room from the beginning, even if this concubine room is also his own cousin. Without contact, Yuan Susu’s various methods have no effect on Peng Sheng.
Peng Sheng shouli avoided suspicion, but Yuan Susu deliberately approached Peng Sheng’s behavior. Regardless of his intention, success or failure, Gu Wenjing was dissatisfied.
So after Peng Sheng left, Gu Wenjing looked at Yuan Susu indifferently: “Aren’t you supposed to stay in your yard? Why did you come out?”
Yuan Susu’s tears flowed down again, and Yuan felt distressed and excused her: “I asked Susu to accompany my aunt. Don’t blame her.”
Gu Wenjing didn’t expose the matter to Yuan’s face this time. He calmly said: “Mother, why is Yuan Susu being barred? Doesn’t the mother know the reason?!”
Yuan’s face was a little embarrassed. She thought that Gu Wenjing didn’t know what was going on, but now Gu Wenjing said directly, she was ashamed of her niece.
Yuan Susu cried and said, “Cousin misunderstood me. I only went to the garden to enjoy flowers when I was upset, and I didn’t have much contact with Cousin Penshing…”
Yuan Shi also said: “Yes, Wenjing, Susu only met Peng Sheng several times by chance, and it was your wife who made a fuss about it, which has ruined Susu’s reputation!”
Gu Wenjing’s expression was cold, and he couldn’t believe what Yuan Shi and Yuan Susu said at all.
Yuan Susu knows the technique of speaking very well. She avoids the light and puts the heavier. She has not had much contact with Peng Sheng? I’m afraid it’s not that she doesn’t want to develop Peng Sheng into her spare tire, but Peng Sheng is respectful and unwilling to contact her more!
And because Yuan was innately uncomfortable with Cheng Yuhua’s daughter-in-law, and the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good, he always favored Yuan Susu unconditionally, thinking that Yuan Susu’s niece was good everywhere, and it was all due to Cheng Yuhua’s frame that went wrong.
Therefore, Gu Wenjing directly ignored Yuan Susu and Yuan’s defenses. He said to Yuan Susu: “I have reached the limit of patience with you. You should stay honestly in the West Yard and don’t come out!” After that, he didn’t even look at Yuan Susu. With a pale face, he turned his head and said to Yuan, “Don’t interfere with the things in your son’s room, too. No one has any reason to uphold the concubine’s room and suppress the wife, and I hope my mother will pay attention to it!”
Yuan’s complexion was not good. It was the first time that she was so hard-faced by Gu Wenjing. Even though Cheng Yuhua had just married into the Hou Mansion a few years ago, she calculated that Cheng Yuhua would accept Yuan Susu as her concubine, but Gu Wenjing did not give her this. The mother looked at her face.
However, Gu Wenjing’s patience with Yuan is approaching its limit. He used to worry about his mother-child relationship with Yuan. He only asked Ning Yuanhou to mention it to Yuan, so that Yuan would not support Yuan Susu. But then Yuan clan was calm for less than a year, Yuan Susu only settled for less than a year, and now the two are united again.
Gu Wenjing didn’t want to remind Yuan through Ning Yuanhou anymore, he directly expressed his attitude to Yuan.
For Yuan, her stable position now stems from his son. As long as Gu Wenjing can stand, she doesn’t care even if she offends Ning Yuanhou, because Ning Yuanhou is angry anymore, taking into account Gu Wenjing’s son, she will give her a face.
But after Gu Wenjing made no secret of his stance, Yuan Shi did not dare to turn against him, worrying that he would be separated from her. After all, Gu Wenjing was her support for the rest of her life.
Seeing Gu Wenjing’s steadfast and indifferent expression, Yuan squeezed the veil tightly and slowly said: “Wenjing, I will restrain Susu. You will see the face of your uncle who died young. Susu is a way out.”
The reason why she helped Yuan Susu in this way was not only because it was not pleasing to see Cheng Yuhua’s daughter-in-law, but also because she was worried about how Yuan Susu would live in the future.
Yuan Susu is just a concubine, her aunt is too old to protect her for a lifetime. So Yuan wanted to let Yuan Susu have a child next to him as soon as possible, so he could rely on him in the future. After all, I can’t count on Gu Wenjing’s aversion to Yuan Susu in the future.
But now Gu Wenjing’s attitude is so clear. If Yuan Shi tried to toss her again, I’m afraid not to mention Yuan Susu, even she would worry about the future.
Seeing Yuan’s compromise, Gu Wenjing softened his voice and said, “Mother rest assured, as long as the cousin makes trouble, the son will naturally take care of the cousin for life and treat her as his own sister.”
This means that Yuan Susu will be the lady of the Hou Mansion for a lifetime and will not treat her badly. Anyway, the huge Hou Mansion does not lack this pair of chopsticks.
Yuan Susu was unwilling to say something, but she was held down by Yuan. She stared at Yuan Susu and said, “Susu! Did you hear your cousin’s promise? You are safe, don’t make trouble.”
Yuan Susu and Yuan Shi looked at each other for a while, then looked at Gu Wenjing’s unrelenting expression, opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word, and finally nodded with tears.
