"Then the girl complained to Gu Cheng?"
This was Chen Kan's first thought after hearing Gu Cheng's words.
"Didn't that bitch go to Guizhou?"
Chen Kan's eyes were hazy, and a question slowly popped up in his mind.
Who did Gu Cheng listen to?
"Haha, nephew, you and Tao'er are destined to meet each other even if you take a boat."
Gu Cheng's eyes also began to become a little hazy.
When talking about Gu Tao, a trace of love flashed in his eyes involuntarily.
Chen Kan shook his dizzy head and said with a smile, "Some interesting things happened."
The funny story Chen Kan told was naturally about the little girl crying because of him. As for the funny story Gu Cheng told, he was not sure.
Gu Cheng didn't know what he was thinking of, but a flash of shrewdness suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he changed his voice and said, "I heard that the little girl from the Fu family broke off their engagement with you?"
Chen Kan was stunned, looking at Gu Cheng's smiling face, and suddenly started to murmur in his heart.
Why did Gu Cheng suddenly ask about this matter?
However, it was no secret that he and Fu Yu broke off their engagement. Everyone in the capital knew about it, and there was no need to hide it.
He said calmly: "Returning to uncle, the engagement has been broken off. She has climbed to the top of Prince Jin's palace. My nephew is not worthy of her."
"oh!"
Gu Cheng snorted, then stared at Chen Kan and asked, "So is this the reason why you brought down King Jin?"
Chen Kan said: "Of course not. My nephew's confrontation with His Majesty the King of Jin is His Majesty's intention and has nothing to do with this matter."
These things are not secrets. Gu Cheng can know them by just asking around, so he has no intention of hiding them.
He deeply understands the truth that when it comes to making good friends with others, sincerity is the only way to win.
Gu Cheng suddenly said: "That's it."
He was in Guizhou, far away from the capital, and the news from the capital was somewhat delayed for him.
It was basically half a month later that what happened in the capital reached his ears. He was old and didn't like court battles, so he really didn't bother to inquire about these things.
After listening to Chen Kan's explanation, he quickly understood the key points.
Cut off the vassal!
After a moment, Gu Cheng said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, there is no need for a real man to have a wife. He broke off the engagement with his nephew. It's because the little girl of the Fu family has no vision."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Chen Kan couldn't agree more with what he said. That stupid woman really had no discernment, and the men she picked were worse than the last. Now she was mixed up with the White Lotus Sect, and she didn't know what she wanted.
But Chen Kan still had to thank her. If she hadn't jumped on the door and forced him to break off the engagement, he wouldn't have been able to have a relationship with the cute girl with big eyes.
From this point of view, that woman was stupid, but not without merit.
When he thought about marrying a cute girl with big eyes back home, Chen Kan's lips showed an aunty smile unconsciously.
Seeing that Chen Kan only smiled and said nothing, Gu Cheng thought he was talking about his sadness, so he couldn't help but joked: "What do you think of my good nephew, Tao'er?"
Chen Kan came back to his senses and suddenly became wary. What does Gu Cheng mean? What do you mean by your Tao'er?
No way? ? ?
Thinking of that possibility, Chen Kanzheng wanted to use more official words to praise Gu Tao.
"Ouch......"
Before Clinker could open his mouth, a person suddenly fell in from outside the door curtain.
Chen Kan and Gu Cheng turned their heads and looked at the same time, and saw Gu Tao, dressed as a soldier, lying on the ground, with a pair of clear eyes that showed a bit of embarrassment at being caught eavesdropping.
Six eyes facing each other.
Gu Cheng: "..."
Chen Kan: "..."
Gu Tao: "Wow... Dad... it hurts from the fall..."
Gu Tao rolled his eyes, a look of grievance suddenly appeared on his face, and he burst into tears.
Gu Cheng suddenly had a dark look on his face.
He had a daughter when he was old, and all his sons died in Jianwen's hands. Now there are only two descendants left, the eldest grandson and the youngest daughter. Naturally, he dotes on them extremely much.
But this also made Gu Tao develop an arrogant temperament since he was a child.
Now he even dares to hide outside the handsome tent and eavesdrop.
It's really lawless.
His face darkened, and he was about to scold Gu Tao, but Gu Tao seemed to have expected it, and instantly stopped crying, and rushed behind Gu Cheng, and his small fists fell on his shoulders like raindrops.
"Dad, my daughter will give you a pat on the shoulder."
"you......"
"Dad, is this intensity appropriate?"
"I......"
Gu Cheng wanted to speak several times, but was blocked by Gu Tao. A wry smile appeared on Gu Cheng's face, and he had no choice but to shake his head.
Seeing how Gu Tao managed to control Gu Cheng with just a few words, Chen Kan was surprised. Gu Cheng didn't send Gu Tao to Guizhou, but instead placed her in a military camp?
If the imperial censors in the capital who were already dissatisfied with Gu Cheng's speed in suppressing the rebellion knew about this, wouldn't they be allowed to participate in his ecstasy?
Looking at Chen Kan's surprised expression, Gu Cheng said helplessly: "I originally planned to send someone to take her to Guizhou, but this girl was unwilling to go. In desperation, I had no choice but to let her pretend to be my soldier for the time being. Stay in the military camp and wait for me to put down the rebellion before leaving with me."
Gu Cheng took the initiative to explain, and the implication was to ask Chen Kan to be merciful and not to tell anyone about this matter.
Of course Chen Kan wouldn't talk too much. He could just turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, and offending Gu Cheng would do him no good.
"Well, Sister Tao's filial piety is commendable."
Facing Gu Cheng's helpless gaze, Chen Kan bit the bullet and praised him.
When Gu Tao, who was standing behind Gu Cheng, heard Chen Kan's words, he immediately gave Chen Kan a knowing look.
Chen Kan pretended not to notice, picked up his chopsticks and started to deal with the food on the table.
Seeing Chen Kan's performance, Gu Chengze breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.
He is already very old, and his only concerns in this world are his eldest grandson and this young daughter.
It's okay for the eldest grandson. After he dies, he can just inherit his title and become a second-generation dandy. Anyway, with the dividends from the business he cooperates with Chen Kan, he can live a life of food and clothing.
This daughter is the only one with an arrogant temperament and deviant ideas.
She had found many young talents for him, but she didn't say anything about any of them that she liked. Instead, she commented that what he had found for her was a bunch of crooked melons and cracked jujubes.
But it made him so angry.
After meeting Chen Kan suddenly today, and the fact that Gu Tao surprisingly took the initiative to mention other men to him after arriving at the military camp, Gu Cheng had some thoughts in his mind.
"That's good. Since Tao'er is here too, I don't have to waste my words."
He looked at Chen Kan, stopped showing off, and asked with a smile, "Nephew, do you think this little daughter of mine might be a good match?"
As soon as he said this, Chen Kan opened his mouth involuntarily.
With Gu Cheng's status, it was impossible for him to be unclear about the fact that he and Princess Chang Ning had made an engagement.
So what does he mean?
