Chapter 102 The waiter enters the door
As the confrontation between the Second Princess and the First Princess became more and more serious, Gu Yao became increasingly worried.
Qian Xiumin is the second princess's person. She has now become a fourth-rank official. Her promotion is fast, which naturally attracts other people's attention.
Qian Xiumin knew that she was being noticed, but she was very calm. She even made several contributions to the Second Princess, otherwise the Second Princess would not have looked at her differently.
As the two people fight, Gu Yao naturally has to be more prudent and keep a low profile.
Sometimes I chat with Zheng Shuyi, and the rest of the time I just stay at home.
And Zheng Shuyi is still the same, and has always been on good terms with Gu Yao.
She had two more children, but the family already had six or seven little servants, which surprised Gu Yao.
"Ayao, I heard that you took a servant. Is that servant good? I told you that servants should not be too powerful, otherwise they will stir up trouble. Fortunately, my husband is brave and resourceful. He can control these servants."
Seeing her smug look, Gu Yao said unhappily, "If you take in fewer servants, your husband will be happier. You already have so many children, why are you taking in more? Aren't the other servants enough?
Zheng Shuyi felt a little embarrassed after hearing this: "I can't help it. Every time I see a good-looking girl, I want to take her back. What's more, it's consensual. I treat them very well. I'm never stingy, and I don't favor my wife over her husband."
"It's good that you know it. Your husband is already good enough, not to mention that he gave birth to a daughter for you. You can't go too far."
Zheng Shuyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, you know my temper. You know it well."
Hearing her words, Gu Yao shook her head and sighed: "You should take it easy, don't let yourself feel sick."
Zheng Shuyi naturally knew about it, and after a look, he whispered, "Ayao, what do you think of the court? You said it's so dangerous, should I be sent out? This way, I can hide a little bit."
Zheng Shuyi is still quite timid about this matter, after all, she has family behind her. "
Although her uncle is also an official, he doesn't have much power after all.
So she was particularly nervous, wondering what would happen if they were pulled into this vortex.
Gu Yao knew her fear and said, "Don't worry, as long as we don't cause trouble and stay away from it, it should be fine. Do you really want to be sent out? It depends on your personal opinion. I don't want to. I think it's good to be in the Ministry of Industry."
Gui Guyao really doesn't like being sent out. Although she can make achievements in politics, she has so many people in her family. Besides, her mother and father are old and can't stand the rush, so it's better for her to stay in the court for the next few years."
After listening to her words, Zheng Shuyi thought it was not bad and nodded and said: "I will listen to you, but what about your good sister? She is directly on the second princess's ship."
Zheng Shuyi felt that Qian Xiumin was very brave even though he had no background or family background.
It is really enviable that he has climbed to the fourth rank with the help of the second princess.
She watched the two princesses fighting during this period and decided to just forget it.
I just hope she is safe and sound, at least her family doesn't have to worry.
Although there was blood and gore in the court, the Gu family felt quite at ease.
Chen Yan has completely integrated into the Gu family and gets along pretty well with Lin Wulang and the others.
But Lin Liulang disliked him and felt that Chen Yan had stolen his wife, so he always spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Although Chen Yan has a gentle personality, she sometimes avoids him.
After all, he had just married into the family. He couldn't argue with his husband, or he would be the one who suffered.
After Zhu Xin and Chen Yan returned to the room, they angrily said, "Why is the young master's second husband like this? You are all the eldest lady's men. After all, you just married into the family. He doesn't even try to be nice to you, but he actually speaks so sarcasticly."
Chen Yan said while reading a book: "He is jealous. After all, I will share his favor if I marry him. Moreover, I seem to have heard that he was beaten by his wife before. I didn't expect that he would not learn his lesson."
Although Chen Yan was a little reluctant to enter the Gu family at first, after that day and one night he fell completely in love with Gu Yao.
Gu Yao is capable and nice to him. She has been staying at his place for the past two nights, which makes him happy.
So he also knew Lin Liulang's reaction. He was just afraid that his favor would be taken away.
But judging by the way he's been acting, he's probably not far from falling out of favor.
Fortunately, he is a husband and has two sons, otherwise he might really have no place in this house.
"Master, it's a good thing that the eldest lady likes you. Otherwise, the second husband would be so arrogant and domineering."
"My wife is a person who values rules. Even if she likes me, she won't go over the three husbands. Zhu Xin, don't say that next time. I'm just a little servant."
Although he had accepted that he was a servant, he still felt very uncomfortable.
The two husbands in the family are all country men. How can he be the husband of the eldest lady? Unfortunately, he came several years late and this is all he can do.
But he thought that if he could get pregnant, he would be more favored.
Especially considering that the second husband had only two sons, even if she became the wife again, she would still give him some face.
He thought he should be able to do it, after all, he had a gentle personality, and it seemed like his wife was attracted by this.
Ever since the Gu family had the little servant, their life has remained the same as before, except that the backyard has become much more lively.
Lin Liulang would argue with Chen Yan, but luckily Chen Yan didn't bother with him. However, it should be said that it was a matter of status, so he was mostly tolerant.
Lin Wulang naturally would not stand by and watch Lin Liulang bully him, and he would teach him a lesson almost every time. Unfortunately, Lin Liulang never listened to a word.
If Lin Wulang hadn't been watching, Lin Liulang would probably have been punished again.
While eating snacks, Father Gu said: "Look at this Liu Lang, he still hasn't learned his lesson. How could he bully Chen Yan like this? Although he is a servant, how can a husband be so ignorant as him? He really has no brains."
Lei smiled and said, "I guess Liu Lang is anxious. After all, Cheng Yan is pretty and is very popular with A Yao. Liu Lang is afraid that he is not favored, so he is like this."
"He should change his temper. He was punished because of his bad temper. He always has some little tricks up his sleeve. Fortunately, he didn't use those tricks, otherwise I would not let him go."
The Gu family had finally come to this point, and Father Gu would never allow anyone to destroy it, not even his grandson's biological father.
Although Chen Yan is a little more favored, she is still not as favored as Lin Wulang and Han Yuqing.
They are husband and wife, so Gu Yao can still tell which one she likes more and which one she likes less.
She hadn't been to Lin Liulang's room for several days. Mainly because he sometimes went too far, so she didn't intend to indulge him.
Although Chen Yan was targeted by Lin Liu, he lived a good life in the Gu family.
Although he was a servant, at least his room was well decorated, albeit a little small.
However, there were quite a few people serving him, including a personal attendant and two people who were responsible for doing odd jobs.
What's more, the Gu family was very generous to him. Not only did he eat well, he also used good things and slept well.
You can even chat with the other two husbands in the back garden.
Chen Yan is now certain that what his father said is right, and that entering the Gu family is the best outcome for him.
Just because his previous fiancée passed away, he was labeled as a wife-killer.
Even if he had not married into the Gu family, he would probably have been fined or even sent to exile.
He feels scared just thinking about it, so he cherishes the present day.
Moreover, he also has a monthly allowance of two taels of silver every month, and he can save some to give to his family.
Although the Gu family is their family's support, his mother's health is not good enough for them to do business now.
His two sisters were not doing well in business, so his family mostly just sat around and lived off the money.
"Ayan, now that you are living a good life, I feel much better. Live a good life. If you can give birth to a daughter, your future will be secure."
That day, Chen's father came to see Chen Yan. He hadn't seen his son for two months.
It’s not that he didn’t love Chen Yan, otherwise he wouldn’t have taught her to read and write, and he didn’t even let her do any heavy work. She just cooked and embroidered at home.
So as the only son of the Chen family, Chen Yan lived a pretty good life.
It was only later when the family conditions became poor that Chen's father wanted his son to be a servant.
He felt guilty, after all, he was his son. How could he not feel pain? But he had to sacrifice his son in exchange for the peace of the whole family.
Now, seeing his son with a rosy face and living a life of wealth and glory, he feels much better.
Chen Yan listened to his words and smiled: "Dad, I have a good life. No one at home bullies me, and I sleep well and eat well all day long."
Then he asked Bai Xiang to put the things he had prepared into Chen's father's arms, and said, "Dad, this is what I saved for the past two months. You can take it back to your family, or to your two nieces and nephews. Although it's a little, it's also a token of my appreciation."
Looking at the bundle, he knew that there were good things inside. Chen's father shed tears and said, "Use it yourself. I didn't give you much dowry. It's also the Chen family who is sorry for you. Just live a good life. I will feel at ease if you live a good life."
Especially seeing that Chen Yan was getting better and better, it was obvious that she was being taken care of with great care.
So it was right for him to make the right decision. As long as his son is doing well, he will feel at ease.
"Is Dad's family okay? How's Mom's health?"
What Chen Yan cares about most is his mother's health. After all, his mother is the backbone of the family. If his mother's health is not good, even if he is at the Gu family, his family will probably become poorer and poorer.
Father Chen immediately smiled happily: "Your mother is in much better health. And your two sisters are also learning how to do business. Although our grocery store is small, we can make some money if we run it well for a month."
Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this and said with a smile: "That's good, but our family is not a merchant, so if we can make some money, we can send our two nieces to learn to read. Even if they can become accountants in the future, it's fine. And after learning to read, if they have talent, they can also go to school. Didn't my wife also come this way step by step?"
The more he knew about Gu Yao's growth, the more he admired her. He didn't expect his wife to be so capable. She built up the family by herself. It was really admirable.
Father Chen smiled and said, "You are right. It seems that you have grown a lot in the Gu family. I feel relieved. I will listen to you. When the family saves some money, I will send your eldest niece to school first. In this way, our family will get better and better in the future."
Father Chen stayed at Gu's house for an afternoon and then went back home. When he left, he took the things that Chen Yan had given him back home.
The Chen family looked at the jewelry and banknotes in the bundle and felt deeply moved.
"I didn't expect the Gu family to be so generous and give me so many things."
After seeing this, the eldest lady of the Chen family felt deeply moved, thinking that it seemed that her younger brother was living a good life, so she felt relieved.
