Splendid spring returns

Chapter 156

"Just never married?" Zhao Chu's eyes lit up, "My lord, what do you think Aunt Xin will do to me if I propose marriage to her?"

Gu Changting was startled, then kicked the guy on the calf, and softly reprimanded: "Are you crazy? What is your identity? Marry a maid as your wife? If you were in Jinke High School, do you know that you would be ridiculed just because of this."

"My lord, don't be angry, Zhao Chu is like this, his temper is too wild..."

Jiang Yan hurriedly wanted to explain, but Zhao Chu rubbed his nose and muttered, "It's a good story for those high-ranking officials and nobles to hang out in brothels and redeem themselves for famous prostitutes. Why don't I marry a clean maid? Then we can be regarded as good-looking women, so what's wrong? My lord, you're a good man, just ask Aunt Xin for me."

"You kid..."

Gu Changting was stunned. He looked around and saw that Xin Nian didn't pay attention to this side, so he dragged Zhao Chu and Jiang Yan back to a further distance. Su Rong asked, "Please tell me the truth, how many wives do you have in your family?"

Zhao Chu looked at him pitifully: "My lord, I'm still a child, don't you poke my scars? I've been wandering around the world for the past few years, and the only one who looks good is that sister maid..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Changting flicked his sleeves, gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up your thoughts and concentrate on preparing for the exam. It's crazy, I see you..."

After he finished speaking and turned to leave, Zhao Chu looked at his back helplessly, and was dragged back to Changfeng Pavilion by Jiang Yan, only to hear his friend sigh and say: "I don't blame the prince for scolding you, how many people in the world are as weird as you, who regard those respectful etiquette as bullshit? It's okay, it's you who took the liberty this time. If you really want to, you will come to propose marriage after the gold list. Even if Aunt Xin doesn't like you, what if Miss Lizhi likes you?"

"That's right. Thank you Yanhui for reminding me. I really took the liberty. I'm afraid the prince thought I was just looking for sex. You wait for my title on the gold list before you come to propose marriage... Wait, why does Aunt Xin not like me? I didn't do anything, did I?"

"Didn't the prince say that? Aunt Xin can cook you with one hand."

Zhao Chu bowed his head dejectedly, but quickly jumped up and said, "Nonsense, the lord is saying that I dare to act presumptuously in front of Aunt Xin, she can cook me with one hand, but I didn't act presumptuously in front of her..."

******************
"Ms. Taifei, the Dragon Boat Festival rewards from the palace have come down. Yours is here, and the gifts from grandma, aunts, young masters and girls have also been sent to the various courtyards."

In the main hall, Mrs. Qian reported softly to Concubine Liao, and a few girls stood behind her, all holding various gifts in their hands.

"It's two days earlier this year." Gu Changting watched with a smile as the girls filled the table with presents, and asked Qian, "Where's the gift list? Show me it."

"Yes."

Qian stepped forward, holding the gift slip in both hands and handing it over.Concubine Liao picked up a candied fruit and put it into her mouth, looked at her son with a smile and said, "You read it to me, and see what all the courtyards sent out?"

"My ancestors have a handle of topaz Ruyi, five strings of red fragrant beads, and a set of Shanghao official kiln..."

Gu Changting read down one item at a time, and Concubine Liao slowly nodded beside her, until she had finished listening to Aunt Qiu's courtyard, and suddenly her voice fell silent.She turned her head to look at Gu Changting, wondering, "What's wrong? Have you finished reading?"

"Nothing." Gu Changting looked at the gift list expressionlessly, and said calmly: "Aunt Xin, here, there is nothing brocade beaded fan pendant, only two brocade sachets, and even Liuzai Yaya, only a ball of multicolored silk thread, and two sachets."

After he finished speaking, he threw the gift list on the table, stood up angrily and said, "This is hitting Niannian in the face, no, not only her face, but also the empress aunt is hitting me."

Concubine Liao was still sneering at first, but when she saw her son's expression changed with anger, she couldn't help but stood up and said, "What are you doing? Sit down quickly. This is a gift from the empress, and she has her own intentions. You dare to drop the gift list and spread it. You are disrespectful."

"I'm being disrespectful, what's the matter? Mom, go and sue me. The empress has already slapped me in the face, should I go to the other side and let her continue to slap me? In front of the emperor, I'm not so obedient and obedient."

"You have something to say."

Concubine Liao saw that her son was really angry, and she complained in her heart that the Queen did not do things well.Busily got up and took Gu Changting's hand to comfort him: "You can't blame the queen, isn't it because you dote on that Xin Nian too much these days? There are rumors in the capital that you want to spoil your concubine and kill your wife. After hearing this, the queen can feel at ease? Besides, you have been reluctant to invite Jiaru to be a princess for so long. The empress probably took this opportunity to beat you..."

"What are you hitting me for? I didn't give my cousin a princess, I didn't give her anything else? Doting on my concubine and destroying my wife? When will the queen aunt listen to rumors? If so, I wronged Niannian and let her bear the name of spoiling my concubine and destroying my wife. In fact, I didn't gain any benefit, and I made you and my cousin look down on her anyway. Why bother? If so, I don't want to wrong her. Isn't it just a Dragon Boat Festival gift? Well, the queen aunt doesn't reward me. Reward yourself. I have a lot of money in Prince Duan's mansion, so why can't I even get a decent gift for the Dragon Boat Festival? It's a joke."

"You child... Well, well, you reward it, you go and empty the warehouse, and reward it to her."

Concubine Liao was also angry, but she saw Gu Changting nod her head heavily, and said with a wanton smile: "Mother is right, I just want to reward Nian Nian with the treasury. Isn't it because you dote on your concubine and destroy your wife? Then it is right to let her take care of the treasury. Is there anyone who disagrees? Come to me to argue, arouse my temper, dote on my wife and destroy my wife? Hehe! Annihilation means annihilation."

"Bastard! Come back to me."

Concubine Liao's shock was no small matter, seeing that Gu Changting was about to leave in a huff, she hurriedly got down from the couch, and said to Qian Shi: "Stop the prince quickly."

"Yes."

Mrs. Qian ran forward with her arms open, stopped Gu Changting and tried hard to persuade him: "My lord, it's just a Dragon Boat Festival ceremony. As you said, when did our mansion lack such a thing? You are arguing for Aunt Xin, and you just reward her a lot. The warehouse is the most important thing, so don't joke about it."

With her blocking, Concubine Liao rushed forward, grabbed Gu Changting's sleeve and said sharply: "If you dare to give the warehouse to the Xin family today, I will die in front of you."

Gu Changting paused, then turned around slowly, his angry face gradually calmed down, but his gaze on Concubine Liao remained sharp.

Being stared at by him like this, even though Concubine Liao is extremely rich, she also felt uncomfortable, she looked away and said: "You... look at your aggressive appearance, do you look like a son?"

"Mother." Gu Changting ignored her words at all, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support Concubine Liao, and said in a deep voice: "It's just the warehouse, I'm just saying something angry today, why is mother so nervous? Even threatened with death? You have never lost your temper like this before, what happened today?"
