Mrs. Lin took Gu Mingzhu and Gu Mingwan to the house to talk, and asked someone to call Zou Lin and Zou Xiang over.

Maybe the New Year is lively, and Zou Lin's spirit seems much better than usual. Mrs. Lin will invite Zou Lin to come here for fun every day, so as not to be too deserted.

As soon as Zou Lin sat down, he heard the manager's mother report: "The Feng family is here."

Mrs. Lin smiled and looked at Gu Mingwan: "The Feng family is also the in-laws of the Gu family. Anping used to be the Tongzong of Taiyuan Prefecture, but is now left in Shuntian Prefecture. His master is the famous Lao Tongzong of Xue in Shuntian Prefecture. You will be fine if you meet him for the first time, just call him a cousin."

Gu Mingwan responded.

The servant stood up a screen and brought Feng Anping in. Gu Mingwan sat behind the screen and saw a man walking into the house quickly. Gu Mingwan looked around and saw that the man was only wearing an inconspicuous robe. Gu Mingwan withdrew his gaze.

Cousin Feng's family is probably not in the capital, otherwise he would not have been allowed to come to the mansion alone to pay homage. Such a family background must be ordinary, and it may be better than their family.

Gu Mingwan couldn't help feeling nervous when he thought of Mrs. Lin's words about introducing Cousin Feng to her. Could it be that the Hou Mansion thought that the Tan family's marriage was not good, so he pushed Cousin Feng to her?

Or the Gu family thinks that Mr. Tan is so good... I have been tempted to betroth Zhuzhu to Mr. Tan San. Zhuzhu's illness is cured, but it is difficult for the guarantor and his wife to have no selfish intentions. No family will want a lady who has suffered from a stupid disease. What if the disease can be passed on to their descendants? Finally, I have a family like the Tan family. Can you find a better one if you miss Zhuzhu?

Gu Mingwan thought that she could not sit still, so she turned to look at Gu Mingzhu and found that Zhuzhu had been no longer behind the screen. She went to Mrs. Lin without any hesitation to see the foreign man.

Mrs. Lin didn't blame Zhuzhu, and was still talking to Cousin Feng happily.

Is the Hou Mansion very close to this cousin Feng? Gu Mingwan couldn't sit still anymore. She bit her lip and looked at the maid beside her. The maid knew what she wanted.

Gu Mingwan said, "Go ahead and tell my father that I will not marry Mr. Tan. If my father changes others privately, I will definitely not be able to do so." The ugly words were said in front, so that my father would not be moved by the Marquis.

The maid nodded and turned around and walked outward.

Gu Mingwan breathed a little relieved, and Tan Zigeng's thin face appeared in his mind. Mr. Tan found his father as soon as he came out of the prison, knelt in front of his father, and kept apologizing to his father.

Actually, what is wrong with Mr. Tan San? Mr. Tan was also framed. If Mr. Tan San had not discovered the clue and continued to investigate the case, the court would not have found out the case so quickly.

Not only was Mr. Tan correct, he made contributions. Why didn't everyone see this and insist on blaming him? Gu Mingwan thought about Mr. Tan's pale face and she would be very sad. She wanted to stay by his side to take care of him. She made up her mind. Even if the Marquis refused to come forward to make face for her, as long as Mr. Tan asked his elders to come to ask her to marry, she would ask her father to agree to this marriage, and she would not want to wait for a moment.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the clan sister behind the screen, her face full of anxiety, as if she was being roasted on the fire. It seemed that Mr. Tan was very capable, otherwise he would not have let the clan sister be so devoted. She kept thinking about why the Tan family tried their best to get in touch with the Gu family?

Tan Dingfang knew that his father was deliberately hiding his weakness on weekdays. During the war horse case, his father helped Lord Wei find out Lin Sizhen. Tan Dingfang suspected that his father had contacted the Wei family in private.

In fact, it was not her father who investigated the case with Lord Wei, but her, but Tan Dingfang was right. After all, he was a meticulous person who was very knowledgeable and had the same purpose, and he would definitely get together. Even without her, Lord Wei would find his father because of the war horse case.

If Tan Dingfang wins over his father, he can find out about the Wei family, so that their every move will be controlled by Tan Dingfang.

What is Tan Dingfang planning to do? Is Tan Zigeng a member of the party or has been used by Tan Dingfang all the time?

Gu Mingzhu said to Mrs. Lin: "Mother, I'll invite my grandmother over here, and the banquet will be held in a short time." He would not be embarrassed by being entangled for too long.

Mrs. Lin nodded: "Go." Recently, she was very relieved to Zhuzhu to do these things. Zhuzhu looked like a child in front of her, but she could do these things thoughtfully.

...

In the main hall.

Old Mrs. Gu looked at her son anxiously. The two brothers were rebellious and refused to talk about serious things. She didn't care what would happen to Prince Huai's Mansion. The case of Chongwen and Brother Tan's family was investigated clearly. Now we should continue to discuss the marriage.

No wonder the Marquis' Mansion will decline. Chongyi does not understand the priorities of things at all.

Old Mrs. Gu coughed, Gu Chongwen glanced at her mother, and then hesitated: "Brother, I told you about Ming Wan's marriage last time, but I didn't expect to encounter that case... This delay has passed another year. Now what should you do?"

Gu Chongyi calmly picked up the tea and drank it, and then put down the tea bowl in his hand: "Ming Wan is not old, and I think the marriage is not set too hasty."

Old Mrs. Gu couldn't help but say, "Chongyi, you are also a person with a daughter. You should know that this marriage is hard to come by. There are so many female relatives in Beijing, and finally I met a good match, so how could I wait."

Gu Chongyi didn't say anything.

Old Mrs. Gu said: "Think about what would you do if this was Zhuzhu?"

Gu Chongyi did not hesitate: "If it were Zhuzhu, I would not nod easily. At least I would have to wait until Tan Zigeng's mother came to Beijing and asked them to invite Baoshan to the door before I would consider whether to agree."

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu sighed: "Tan San's mother is in poor health. How can she make trouble when it is cold and cold?"

"Then let it go," Gu Chongyi said, "The two children are not old, and we are the women, don't be so anxious. I'm not saying that Tan Zigeng is not good. I didn't know him before. This time I was caught in this case, and I was afraid that he would be brave but not resourceful. For Ming Wan, there is nothing wrong with taking a closer look."

Gu Chongyi said and looked at Gu Chongwen: "You have also seen the situation in Beijing these days. Wealth and glory are just passing clouds. If you are too anxious, it is easy to make mistakes. This year, Zi Yan will have to go to the Gongyuan. Only when your home is safe and stable can Zi Yan end up with peace of mind."

Gu Chongwen opened his mouth: "What my brother said makes sense, but I can't ignore one or the other."

Gu Chongyi's face sank and showed a bit of majesty: "I really talk to me about it. That's what I mean. You should teach a long lesson about those goods. No matter what you do, don't be tickled. This time you can come out well. If you can't change it, you may not have such good luck next time."

Gu Chongwen wanted the rice and grain to enter Beijing earlier, so he completely entrusted the ship's owner to transport goods. If he inspected it himself, it would make people take advantage of the loopholes.

"Chongyi, you can't say that."

Old Mrs. Gu stood up and wanted to persuade her, but when she heard the door was opened, she turned around and saw Zhuzhu running in quickly.

"Dad, the banquet is about to be held. Can you still play shadow play with me and Brother Xiang?"

"Fun," Gu Chongyi said with a smile, "Since you promised Zhuzhu, how can you go back on your word?" Zhuzhu was really considerate and happened to rescue him from here.

Old Mrs. Gu wanted to stop Gu Chongyi, but Gu Chongyi would not give her a chance. He immediately strode out, leaving Old Mrs. Gu Chongwen to look at each other in surprise.

Gu Chongwen pursed his dry lips: "Or, let's listen to my elder brother, and wait until Tan Zigeng's mother comes to Beijing before making any trouble."

Old Mrs. Gu sat on the chair and looked at Gu Chongwen in anger: "Sister Wan has a father like you, really..."

Before Mrs. Gu finished speaking, the maid beside Gu Mingwan said timidly: "The eldest lady said that if she can't marry Mr. Tan San, she will be her sister-in-law."

"Look," Old Mrs. Gu slapped the table with a palm, "poor Sister Wan."

Gu Chongwen didn't know how to comfort his mother, so he saw Zhuzhu's little face leaning into the room again: "The banquet is ready, my mother is waiting for her grandmother and uncle in the flower hall."

The anger that Mrs. Gu had to swallow back, and the person had to bow his head under the roof. The poor two children were the ones.

Old Mrs. Gu stared at Gu Chongwen: "A day I regret you."

The Gu family held a banquet happily.

There was a desolate scene at the Imperial College’s Priest’s Palace.

Mr. Shen sat under the lamp and frowned. There were still many doubts in this case, but the court seemed to have found the charges of Prince Huai’s Mansion, Liang family and Shen family, and refused to investigate them carefully.

What should he do? Who can help them?
