Chen Gui was thinking about how to get things out of the way when the time came, and suddenly thought of yesterday.
"Last night, I met Young Master Su," Chen Gui told him the whole story. "I thought he was just talking, but I didn't expect..."
Chen Gui actually couldn't figure out who said "It's best not to cross the line."
But even if it was what Su Ke said, Chen Gui didn't think deeply about it.
Just listen to what is said at the wine table.
What you said when you came down from the wine table to put out the water is also the same truth.
Men, there are so many things that don’t mean what they say.
Just like him, he is drunk and dares to brag in front of others, "Can the mother-in-law control me?" In fact, when he returns home, he is just a "raked ear".
The phrase "the little daughter-in-law chosen by the royal family" was originally meant to make fun of her. Su Ke was not happy to hear it and just said something sarcastic.
If this kind of words were true every word, there would be no end.
Therefore, Chen Gui was just curious, so he had just heard about it.
However, when these four houses were put out, the situation immediately changed. No matter what Su Ke said was right or wrong, you couldn't pretend that you hadn't heard it.
After reading the address carefully again, Chen Gui asked: "According to what you said before, not only the old lady didn't know about it, but also the third master didn't know about it?"
Lin Yunyan smiled: "What? Are you afraid of trouble?"
"Where it is," Chen Guidao said, "if you ask more clearly, you will act more appropriately and not make mistakes casually."
For example, he would never mention this matter to the third master before he could explain the matter.
After all, Chen Gui still knew the rules of conduct of the masters in the mansion.
The vicious behavior of knocking on the door is really not suitable for a dignified and honest old lady, and most of the gentlemen can't do it either.
Lin Yunyan motioned for him to continue.
"Princess," Chen Gui straightened his expression and said seriously, "I'm definitely not afraid of trouble, but you have to let me know in my heart, does the eldest lady want to break off the engagement?"
If the scandal escalates, there will inevitably be a conflict between Xu Guogong's mansion and Chengyi's mansion.
It's okay if they can't come to an agreement. He's just following Uncle Chengyi's house to put in some effort. If the two families can come to an agreement, wouldn't he, the one who stirred up trouble in the middle, become a bug?
He also wants to do business with the uncle's house and the third master, so how can he be a bedbug?
"If you have no intention of burning the boat," Chen Gui gritted his teeth and said straightforwardly, "I advise you to think twice."
Lin Yunyan rolled her eyes and smiled.
This smile made Monk Chen Guizhang confused.
Is such a serious thing so interesting?
What he didn't know was that Lin Yunyan admired his directness.
After going around and around with Xiao Duan to make small progress, Lin Yunyan felt extremely relaxed when she saw Chen Gui, a person who could speak outright.
"If I don't break up with his family, wouldn't it be in vain for me to make trouble?" Lin Yunyan replied, "My eldest sister will never marry into their family. Just keep an eye on them."
With these words here, Chen Gui felt relieved.
Although the old lady makes the decision in the mansion, the princess's opinions also carry considerable weight.
Just like the business in Laoshi Lane, if the princess hadn't persuaded the old lady and came up with a good idea, it would have had nothing to do with them long ago.
Chen Gui accepted the task, bowed and resigned.
Lin Yunyan was not in a hurry to leave and asked Wan Yue to bring her some tea.
Wan Yue could not hide her anger and said: "Son Young Master Su is actually such a person. I thought the eldest girl got a good husband."
"It's not just you who made a mistake," Lin Yunyan took a sip of hot tea and sighed, "Grandma, aunt, everyone in the house made a mistake."
"Thankfully, Princess, you are so powerful that you discovered the clues," Wan Yue sighed, "It would be so sad if we didn't find out until the eldest girl got married. Not only the eldest lady, but also the second lady and the old lady..."
Lin Yunyan lowered her eyes.
Wan Yue also said that she was powerful. She was not powerful at all, but she had just experienced it once.
And seeing people is the most difficult thing in the world.
No matter how lucky they are, no one dares to boast that they have gained the ability to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people at a glance.
She said softly to Wan Yue, "It's too late to stop it now."
Chen Gui is very efficient in his work.
After leaving Liumingxuan, he ordered a few reliable ones and visited several houses.
And he went to Willow Alley by himself.
One of the places written by the princess is here.
The door of the house was closed.
Chen Gui looked left and right, his heart suddenly crossed, and he took the initiative to knock on the door.
After a while, a woman came to open the door and looked at him warily.
Chen Gui cupped his hands and saluted: "Hello mom, my child was playing ball in the alley next door and accidentally fell into your back wall. Can you please help me search for it."
His clothes are not rich, but he is not dressed like ordinary people either. He looks dignified, and because he interacts with Lin Xun a lot on weekdays, he speaks with a certain amount of grace.
The woman put away her guard and wanted to let people wait outside, but before she could say anything, Chen Gui stuffed her with a piece of silver.
"Thank you for your hard work, mom." Chen Gui smiled warmly.
The mother-in-law thought for a moment, gave in, and asked Chen Gui to stand inside the door, not to move around casually, and to go back by herself.
Chen Gui was very cooperative and stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at him with sharp eyes.
This is a house as soon as you enter. There are two rows of clothes drying in the yard, one row belongs to the mother-in-law, and the other...
Chen Gui couldn't help but frown, why is it in men's clothing?
The material is bright, and judging from the color and style, it seems to be worn by young men.
Perhaps when he heard the noise, the curtains in the main room were lifted, and a man stuck his head out. Seeing the stranger standing inside the door, he was slightly startled, and then quickly stepped back.
This was so fast that Chen Gui could not see anything clearly except that the other party was a young man.
Not long after, the woman came back empty-handed: "I didn't find the ball you mentioned. Did it fall into the house next door?"
Chen Gui apologized repeatedly: "The child is young, so he probably pointed to the wrong wall and troubled my mother."
The mother-in-law sent him out.
As Chen Gui walked away, he explained the situation just now and said, "I'm afraid I scared the young master. Do you want to apologize?"
"It doesn't matter. I'll just tell him. You don't have to apologize." The mother-in-law said.
Chen Gui was secretly speechless.
The mother-in-law did not deny that she was a "gongzi", so it was not because she was mistaken.
Chen Gui left the house, sang opera and then knocked on the door next door to find the ball.
His hearing was very good, and when he entered the door next door, he heard a soft sound before the door to the mother-in-law closed.
The ball can't be found, but there are still some gains.
While talking with the neighbor, Chen Gui confirmed that there were only two people in the house, an old man and a young man.
He was extremely puzzled, how could he be a young man?
Could it be that the address the princess gave him was wrong?
Returning to the alley, Chen Gui found an inconspicuous corner and continued to stare at the house.
Waiting until the sun sets, I see a sedan coming from the other end.
Blue sedan clothes, printed with the imprint of the carriage house, are very common in the streets.
The sedan stopped outside the house. As soon as the curtain of the sedan was opened, it was Su Ke who came down.
