A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 209
Gu Zhan smiled and did not deny it.

Qi Huan actually knew very well what kind of woman would be widely recognized under the background of this era.

So, she pursed her lips at the right time and smiled slightly.

At the same time, she was a little bit ashamed.

It wasn't all an act, she was indeed a little embarrassed at the moment.

But in front of Gu Zhan's friend, she never ran away in a petty manner.

The door of the Marquis of Changning, in terms of appearance alone, is indeed enough to bluff people.

The young man was only in his twenties, and although he came here for Gu Zhan, he didn't have any other intentions, so he was unexpectedly shaken by this smile.

But after all, she is a friend's wife, he quickly restrained his expression, and cupped his hands: "Here Ziyue, from the British government, is Gu Zhan's friend."

Qi Huan nodded slightly at him: "Master Fang is good."

She doesn't talk much, and she's a girl after all...

The scene was quite awkward for a while.

Gu Zhan gave a wink, Fang Ziyue quickly slipped away, and at the same time gave Gu Zhan a few meaningful glances: "Then you guys talk, I'll go ahead and have a look... have a look... haha!"

They are all well-bred children of aristocratic families. Even if they have a good relationship, they would tease each other in private, but in front of a girl like Qi Huan, they would not say one more word of bastard.

Gu Zhan watched him run away, and when he looked back at Qi Huan again, he was a little unhappy.

He raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you going to get into the sedan chair yet? I have other friends, and I'll introduce them to you as well?"

Qi Huan's reaction was not slow, and he immediately heard a bit of sourness from his words.

She thought it was funny.

but--

She really didn't want to deal with Gu Zhan's friends now, so she bent over and got into the sedan chair first.

The car curtain falls.

Although the small space in the sedan chair is comfortably furnished, Qi Huan doesn't like it very much.

She then carefully opened a corner of the curtain hanging from the small window on one side...

Sure enough, Gu Zhan was still leaning on the side.

Noticing movement beside him, he lowered his eyes to look down.

Qi Huan simply lay down at the window and chatted with him: "Yesterday I thought you were joking, but you really went to Yu's house? Just now that..."

She didn't remember Fang Ziyue's name for a while, so she just passed by: "Is the British government and Yongxingbo's residence also related by marriage?"

Gu Zhan was indeed a little cautious.

When Fang Ziyue looked at Qi Huan just now, there was a flash of amazement in her eyes...

As a man, he actually sees more clearly than Qi Huan.

Thinking about it, I was really conflicted.

He didn't know if other men would do the same. On the one hand, he wished he could pull out his beloved girl, announce it to the world, and declare his ownership. On the other hand, he wished he could hide her and not show her to other men.

Even if—

Just pure admiration and envious eyes are not acceptable!
Now that Qi Huan didn't even remember Fang Ziyue's name, he suddenly became more cheerful, and he was willing to explain more to her.

Leaning on the sedan chair, he lowered his body slightly to talk to Qi Huan who was sitting in the sedan chair: "The old lady of the British government and the old lady of the Yongxing uncle's house are sisters who are direct relatives. They are all married to the direct descendants of the two mansions, so although they are cousins, the relationship between the two of them has always been very good in private."

Qi Huan understood: "That's no wonder, the old uncle of the Yu family is so stubborn, knowing our relationship with Prince Ning's mansion, he dared to agree to the marriage."

Of the four government houses in the dynasty, only Gu Zhan's family is still in charge of the military.

But the other families, even without their influence in the military, accumulated over a hundred years, their status should not be underestimated. The family relationship is intricate, and all kinds of in-laws and children of the same family have entered the officialdom to a considerable extent.

According to Qi Huan's knowledge, it seems that the mansion of the Duke of Lu, who is really an unworthy nephew, is showing a tendency to collapse...

The other three families are still deeply rooted in the court and have a great status.

But she lives in the inner house, so she is not very clear about the exact news in this regard.

Gu Zhan didn't want to talk too much about Fang Ziyue in front of her, but he knew she was interested, so he endured his displeasure in the end and continued: "Although the British government is now under the protection of the ancestors, it is only a false title in the court. , but in the good times ahead, the management of several generations has been accumulated... Even if there are no one who can cover the sky with one hand, there are dozens of officials in the clan, and these people are an unshakable group of forces. In addition, the deceased The old Duke loves horses like his life, and the horse farm he built during his stay is gradually growing, and the army’s war horses are often purchased from his family, and his family’s confidence is still very strong.”

Qi Huan understands that ancient families like to be bound by marriage, and then support each other to grow together.

The two old wives of the British government and the Yongxing uncle's house are very close. Both of them are old and their husbands have died. They are the highest and most honorable female elders in their own families.

At least--

Before the two old ladies passed away, the relationship between the two mansions would be very strong.

But at the next moment, she unexpectedly sneered: "No wonder my grandfather kept silent about the second sister's marriage and maintained a tacit attitude."

She hadn't thought much about it before, she just thought that the old man was really not interested in playing the marriage card, so she just let it go and let Qi Wenjing and his wife set up the marriage.

So it seems——

The reason why Qi Zhengyu didn't say anything was actually because he was happy to see the result, and he was actually very satisfied with this marriage.

Qi Changge married Yongxing Bo Mansion, so even with his own Changning Marquis Mansion, he became an in-law relationship with the British Duke Mansion.

Moreover, since Qi Changge married only the second son of the Yu family, the eldest son of his family would take the lead in all important matters, so it is easy to find the Qi family when there is trouble...

This old man is trying to pick up a bargain in silence!

Qi Changge has a good home, Qi Huan was originally happy for her, but now thinking of this level——

Suddenly, I felt as sick as swallowing a fly.

Her face darkened.

Then, when he raised his eyes to look at Gu Zhan again, his expression showed no concealment of resentment: "So, in fact, he has been letting it go, never asking or interfering with my dealings with you, in fact, he also has such a plan in his heart, waiting Do you want to pick up the bigger advantage of your Pingguo government?"

If the person she associates with is not Gu Zhan, but any poor family boy, a trafficker, I am afraid that the old man will not have such an attitude long ago, right?

Qi Huan's heart was blocked instantly.

Gu Zhan is very clear about Qi Zhengyu's calculations and thoughts.

No matter how disrespectful Qi Huan is to her grandfather, she will never change the fact that she is the daughter of the Qi family. The reason why the old man didn't interfere with her relationship with Gu Zhan is that he just let her go and let her fend for herself. ...

How can it be so simple!

Qi Huan has always been a very energetic person, living a confident, wanton and free and easy life.

Seeing her suddenly frustrated expression, Gu Zhan felt a little uncomfortable.

These were all insignificant things to him. From the moment he wanted to spend his life with her, he could see through all the chains of interests surrounding her.

But apparently—

Qi Huan is not happy!
She was not happy. Her relationship, which she was just trying to manage, had become a pawn in the hands of someone who was planning and pinching her.

The indifferent smile on Gu Zhan's face disappeared.

He simply lowered his body even lower, so that he was at eye level with her, then touched the top of her hair with his palm, and said in a gentle voice, "We don't care what other people think, but if we think about it from another angle, isn't it because we are taking advantage of your grandfather's scheming plan?" The loophole? He plans his, we plan ours, as long as... in the end, I don’t let him take my advantage, don’t let him get rich, then we won the calculation, right? "

Such sophistry is actually not enough to appease Qi Huan.

For however much she deceived herself—

She was really being plotted by someone, and that person was plotting to use nothing else, but her most prudent and unwilling to make compromises and deals.

But Gu Zhan's comfort, she accepted.

She looked into his eyes, and after a while, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "Yes. And the old man is getting older, who knows how many years he will be able to dance."

In words, she made no secret of her malice and curse towards Qi Zhengyu, the grandfather.

This person, being old and disrespectful, had plotted twice to kill her. If she hadn't been lucky enough to react quickly, she would be gone now.

Gu Zhan knew all of this.

Now on the street, he couldn't do anything more excessive, so he just patted her head again, chatting to comfort her.

The bridal sedan chair of the bride in front was bustling again for a while, and the welcoming team got up the sedan chair and returned.

Gu Zhan followed the bridegroom's wedding team, pretending to be a group of relatives and friends, so naturally he got on his horse and followed him to Yu's house.

Yu Huaijin was dressed in a bright red wedding dress and rode in front on a tall horse.

Gu Zhan rode his horse, and he was always running side by side with Qi Huan's sedan chair.

It's not good for Qi Huan to talk to him by the window all the time on the street, sitting bored in the sedan chair, and occasionally sneaking up a corner of the curtain to look out, seeing him, his depressed mood will become clearer.

When the welcoming procession went away, the guests who came out to join in the fun in front of the Marquis of Changning's mansion chatted and laughed and went back to the mansion for dinner.

In the shadow on the side of the stone lion at the door, Qin Song was leaning there with an empty wine glass in his hand.

At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, under the eaves of the Hou's mansion, the big red lanterns with the characters "Happy" on them cast a hazy light.

There was no expression on his face, but the aura around him was cold and oppressive.

Qin Shuo wandered around him with his head poking around, watching his words for a long time, and when he could no longer hear the blowing and beating of the welcoming team, and saw no sign of his brother moving, he boldly said angrily: "That Gu Zhan, He was really scheming, he didn't come to Qi's house, but deliberately followed to Yu's house to show his courtesy."

Just now when the sedan chair stopped there, Gu Zhan and Qi Huan chatted and laughed for a long time, and the two brothers saw it with their own eyes.

Qin Song can't do such things like swearing behind people's backs. Qin Shuo originally wanted to swear at Gu Zhan so that his brother would listen to him and vent his anger...

But the more he talked, the more helpless he became, and the less confident he became.

Gu Zhan's scheming is not the most important thing, the main thing is Qi Huan's attitude, seeing the two of them like that, they are tired of chatting for a long time in the street...

Can this brother still play?

As Qin Shuo said it himself, he lost his face first, and turned his eyes to his brother, wondering: "It seems that this is the only way to do it now, brother? Why don't you just stop staring at her..."

Gu Zhan is the empress's younger brother, and the Gu family's family status is higher than his own. In addition, Qi Huan has preconceived ideas, so he has already hooked up with him...

Although the two haven't formally engaged, but in this situation, their own preemptive robbery has no chance of winning.

Qin Shuo wanted to persuade his brother to retreat from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Song picked up the jug on the base of the stone lion and poured himself another glass of wine.

In fact, he understands better than Qin Shuo that his own situation at this moment is useless to talk about, not because Gu Zhan's sister is the queen, nor because the family status of the Gu family is higher than that of the Qin family, but——

Just because of Qi Huan!
He knew her well. The reason why Gu Zhan won was because Qi Huan chose him.

With that girl's temperament, even if he was willing to go out and snatch her back, she would not be happy, and then she could only turn her face completely.

Now, in order to see her, he can still come to the door openly...

Yes, Qin Song, the majestic Marquis of Martial Arts, is actually so humble at this very moment.

Knowing that Gu Zhan would definitely not be absent on such an occasion today, he would only see scenes that made him suffer even more when he came, but it was as if he was masochistic, and he had to come.

He raised his head and drank the glass of wine, the spicy wine slid down the throat, burning his internal organs instantly, and a puff of moisture wanted to burst out from the eye sockets.

"Heh..." He let out a low laugh.

Before meeting Qi Huan, he never knew that Qin Song would be such an indecisive person who could afford it but couldn't let it go.

His laugh was deep and hoarse, which made Qin Shuo shiver immediately.

He stammered and tried to call again: "Brother...you...you are already drunk, right?"

Qin Song didn't respond to his words, and lowered his head to play with the empty cup in his hand.

Laughing self-deprecatingly, after a while, he suddenly asked Qin Shuo curiously: "Ye Xunyi is married, how did you feel at that time?"

Qin Shuo's expression froze, and he froze.

The expression on his face changed several times with discomfort.

Seeing that he was silent, Qin Song turned to look at him.

When meeting his gaze, Qin Shuo subconsciously dodged his eyes for a moment, but the next moment, he bit the bullet and looked at Qin Song squarely, forcing out a bitter smile: "That's... that's it."

Ye Xunyi is married, after all, she is the girl he has been madly obsessed with and chased after, if he said that there is no disturbance in his heart, even he himself would not believe it.

but--

Qin Shuo thought about it seriously, and then said: "Actually, her and I...was just my wishful thinking from the beginning. So what if we liked her again? Later, I thought about it carefully. From the beginning to the end, it was just wishful thinking. I was a one-man show alone, she didn't like me, and there was nothing between us to remember, so... it wasn't that sad."

If there is no memory left between each other, how can you say that you will never forget...

That would really be a ridiculous joke!
Besides—

Just because of his self-righteous unrequited love, he almost killed his own sister!

Qin Shuo complained, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Although he felt that his elder brother should not be compared with a waste like him, but now he really felt a little sympathetic, so he boldly said: "Actually, this matter will be over. , It's really not as sad as you think, really."

Qin Song looked at his Chen Ken face for a long time.

Did not hold back.

He curled his lips and laughed again, poured out the last glass of wine in the jug, and drank it down in one gulp.

Then, he gave Qin Shuo all the wine glasses and jugs: "You send them in, I'll go back first."

He is different from Qin Shuo.

There is no past and no memories between Qin Shuo and Ye Xunyi.

But he has!
Those memories that Qi Huan didn't want to take seriously, and he didn't want to have, were left to him alone.

Although--

not much!

But in this life, he will never meet another girl like her again.

Cunning and chic, scheming and open-minded, brave...

And cruel!
You can argue with him neither humble nor overbearing, and resist his indiscriminate coercion, or you can decisively fight against others, and save him from the fire regardless of previous suspicions...

But this girl, in a place he once had at his fingertips, just passed by so easily, and was pushed away by his self-righteous pride.

From then on, even if I begged, I couldn't ask for it.

In fact, even a small pot of wine, no matter how hard it is, Qin Song can't get drunk. Qin Shuo looked at his back, but firmly believed that he was already drunk.

So, he hurried to the door, returned the jug, found another excuse to shirk, and hurried out to chase his brother.
