Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 341: Gratitude and hatred

"Mom, the child is also worried about making his father angry, so he first vented his anger on his mother and asked her for help in persuading his father," Gu Tingye said.

"It's not like you don't know your father's temper. How can I persuade him?" Xiao Qin said.

"Mom, my plan is to tell my father after I pass the imperial examination. My father should be more accepting by then," Gu Tingye said.

Xiao Qin was silent for a while and said: "This is indeed a way, but with your father's temper, even so, I'm afraid it is unlikely that you will let your outer room in. After all, you haven't gotten married yet, so there is no way. There is also a concubine in the outer chamber. How many of the right families in Bianjing are willing to marry their girl to you?
If only we could get the marriage done before the news leaks out. After your father finds out, he might agree. "

Gu Tingye felt even more guilty when he heard this. Xiao Qin always thought of him, but he tested her, which really shouldn't be the case.

"By the way, where is your aunt now? Mother and son must not be discovered before you get married." Xiao Qin asked.

Gu Tingye felt guilty when he heard Xiao Qin's inquiry and was about to tell Xiao Qin where Mannia lived, but he saw a flash of excitement in Xiao Qin's eyes.

"Why, you don't even believe your mother? I'm worried that mother and son will be discovered. I have a dowry house in the south of the city. I originally planned to leave it to Ting Wei for future living, but now the servants have been taking care of it. Your father Don't go there, let the mother and son move over, and tell the public that they are newly purchased servants, so no one will doubt her. But don't go there recently," said Xiao Qin.

Gu Tingye came back to his senses and said, "It's not that the child doesn't believe in his mother, but I was worried about being discovered by my father, so I didn't place him in Bianjing."

Xiao Qin quickly invited Gu Tingye to dinner and served him food herself.

Xiao Qin said after hearing this: "You have thought carefully this time. In that case, I won't ask."

Gu Tingye thanked him, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

At this moment, Chu's mother walked in with her servants carrying food.

Chu's mother was stunned and said: "Isn't it possible? I think the second young master is no different from before. With his temper, if he really noticed something, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so calm."

"He just told me that he had an outer room outside and had a child. I wanted to ask him about the whereabouts of his outer room and the child, but he didn't tell me." Xiao Qin frowned.

"These are all your favorite foods. Because the time is short, I didn't let you do the hard work. When you are full, you go back to your room to take a shower and have a good rest. In the evening, I will have someone make you other foods you like. Dishes." Xiao Qin said with a smile.

It wasn't until Gu Tingye's back disappeared that the smile on her face faded. He took Mother Chu back to the backyard.

"Is there such a thing?"

Arriving at the main hall in the backyard, Xiao Qin sent all the servants out and her face became gloomy.

Although he had eaten at Mannia's place before, he deliberately left his stomach empty, and a lot of time had passed, so he didn't eat less.

"Thank you, mother."

Xiao Qin thought about Gu Tingye's temper. If he really knew something, he would not be so calm.

"Do you think it's possible that he noticed something, but wasn't sure yet, so he deliberately released the news to test me?" Xiao Qin asked hesitantly.

Hearing this, Chu's mother was surprised and said: "Madam, with the temper of the Marquis, he will be furious when he finds out. And the second young master also has the kind of temper that accepts softness but not hardness. As long as you get the person, you can tell the news to the Marquis. The master is completely disappointed with the second young master."

"Madam, what's wrong?" Chu's mother saw Xiao Qin's ugly face and asked carefully.

After the meal, Gu Tingye went back to his room to wash up at Xiao Qin's urging.

Xiao Qin watched Gu Tingye leave with a smile.

"Do you think Erlang noticed something?" Xiao Qin asked.

"I think this is unlikely."

Chu's mother shook her head and said: "The second young master is a frequent visitor to the Chu House in Qinlou. He usually knows how to do something that the Marquis does not let him do. Now that he is back in Bianjing, he studies hard every day, let alone the Chu House in Qinlou. Even those friends who used to be friends have broken off. Judging from this, the second young master has indeed changed a lot. If he really wanted to test Madam, he could just pretend to be the same as before, and if he wanted to test her, he should have tested her long ago. Will you wait so long?”

Xiao Qin pondered for a while and said: "You are right. I couldn't figure out why he suddenly changed so much before. Now it seems that he should have had an affair outside and had real feelings. He worked hard The purpose of studying is to show off in front of the master so that his outsider can come in. "I think this is the case," Mother Chu nodded.

Xiao Qin frowned and said: "He is telling me this now. Could it be that he felt that the master would not agree to it alone, so he asked me for help? If that is the case, then why is he unwilling to tell me? What’s the whereabouts of his outer room?”

Xiao Qin didn't believe it at all when Gu Tingye told her that the outer chamber was not in Bianjing.

With Gu Tingye's temperament, he wouldn't be at ease if he didn't leave people in front of him.

"Perhaps they are worried that too many people will know and the news will be leaked in advance?" Chu's mother guessed.

"It's possible."

Xiao Qin shook his head and said: "No matter what, this matter is a good opportunity. I must send someone to keep an eye on him and find out his outer room."

"Yes." Chu's mother responded quickly.

"Remember, never alert the enemy." Xiao Qin warned.

Even if he told Gu Yankai directly, with Gu Yankai's temper, he would definitely be furious.

But this is not enough.

In this male-dominated era, it is very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines.

However, Gu Yankai was a different kind. Her sister had been frail and sick since she was a child, but Gu Yankai was infatuated with her sister.

The Gu and Qin families were family friends, and Gu Yankai and her sister had been married since they were children.

However, due to her sister's health, the Gu family had long regretted their marriage.

Not to mention the Gu family, even the Qin family also had this idea.

After all, the purpose of the marriage is to strengthen the relationship between the two families. Da Qin's health is not good. If the Qin family firmly refuses to cancel the engagement, it will harm the Gu family and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Both families wanted to cancel the engagement, but Gu Yankai was very determined.

In the end, I couldn't resist him and had no choice but to agree.

But the Da Qin family was not only in poor health, but also found it difficult to have heirs.

She finally gave birth to a child, but she was as frail and sickly as Da Qin.

The doctor even said that he would not live to be twenty years old.

As the eldest son, Gu Yankai would definitely not be able to survive without any heirs.

The Gu family was ready to take a concubine for him, but Gu Yankai refused to agree.

Gu Yankai's behavior was considered very stupid by most people.

But in the eyes of a woman like Xiao Qin who is waiting to be married, she is the most ideal husband candidate.

Xiao Qin grew up listening to the love story between her sister and her brother-in-law, which led her to have a happy love for Gu Yan.

Even at that time, Da Qin's health was getting worse and worse, and the Qin family was prepared to wait for Da Qin's death to marry her into the Gu family and rekindle their relationship with Gu Yan.

Xiao Qin was overjoyed when she heard the news.
