Just before the master was able to mediate, Gu Naizheng slammed his folding fan and squinted at Duanmu Wuyou, showing an expression of contempt on his face. He snorted and asked, "Are you going to fight to the death with me? Don't you regret it?"
Duanmu Wuyou sneered and said, "What? Are you afraid to accept it? What a coward, as timid as a young woman!"
"The fourth younger brother, come on!" Gu Naizheng interrupted him without the aristocratic family's demeanor. He waved his hand at Gu Yiran, who hadn't put the silver lance up, and said boldly, "How dare he provoke your elder brother in front of you? How can you bear it? Give him a vicious punch! Punch him in the face, beat him into a pig's head, and see if he dares to use this face to scramble for the actress in the theater!"
Gu Yiran was already wiping his sweat. Hearing these words, he almost hit the silver lance on the back of his feet. He squeezed a smile with sweat dropping like rain and said, "Brother, you really like to joke. It's so hot, why don't we go into the house and talk inside?" He thought, "Brother, you are shameless, but I still want to be decent!"
Duanmu Wuyou almost spitted blood from anger, "I wanted to fight the death with you because you humiliated me! Now you not only ask Brother Ziming to fight with me but also attribute it to the actress in the theater. Have you ever respected me?"
Based on Wei Changying's understanding of Gu Naizheng, it was dangerous for Duanmu Wuyou to ask this question. Obviously, Gu Naizheng looked at him contemptuously and said with disdain, "You are not a beautiful daughter of an eminent family, or a beautiful little woman, or a beautiful actress, or a beautiful widow, or a beautiful young girl. Besides, I have no fancy for a man. However beautiful you are, how could I respect you?"
"Brother Wuyou! Calm down! Be calm! This is Brother Yaoye’s new home, and the sister-in-law Wei is still here. If you don’t respect Brother Yaoye, then respect the sister-in-law Wei. Don’t make a fuss with brother Zilie. Brother Zilie’s words are indeed wrong, but we all know his temperament. Brother Wuyou, be calm!" A group of people grasped Duanmu Wuyou, who was almost mad, while Gu Yiran was pulling Gu Naizheng's sleeves desperately to the door, saying, "Brother, I suddenly remember that there is something vital that we haven't done yet! We must rush over right now! As for what, let's go out first, and I will think about it. No! I'll tell you after we leave here!"
Wei Changying looked at Gu Naizheng dully. Gu Naizheng didn't know that he had caused big troubles. He was still struggling desperately in Gu Yiran's hands, yelling, "No, no! I haven't watched Brother Yaoye's new spear! How can there be no ode to such a wonderful spear? I will stay and enjoy the spear, have a meal, tasting the dishes made by the sister-in-law Wei, and see whether the maidservant she trained to be gentle and considerate... Then I will make an ode to the spear with wine so that my trip won’t be wasted. Let me go back!"
Fortunately, although Gu Yiran was a younger brother, his strength was much higher than this vicious elder brother. Despite Gu Naizheng's desperate struggle, he steadfastly pulled him to the gate of the courtyard. When he passed by Wei Changying, Gu Yiran was extraordinarily embarrassed and apologized, "Sister Wei, I was sorry just now. I didn't know that you had come out too. According to the previous habit of practice with Brother Yaoye, I used the mechanism of the lance, but I didn't expect that it would shock you!"
Although Gu Yiran and Gu Naizheng were not lineal brothers, they came from the same family, one being the lineal son of a collateral branch, the other being a lineal son of the clan. These two brothers were made to compare and show others. One was gentle and honest, the other was arrogant and mean; one was polite, and the other was impolite; one was skillful in martial arts, and the other was unskilled... But Gu Naizheng was the lineal son from a nobler clan!
Looking at the two brothers in front of him, Wei Changying only felt that her head hurt more. She forced a smile and said perfunctorily to Gu Yiran, "Brother Ziming, never mind. I am too timid, and you need not blame yourself."
"I have already said that last time in Spring Grass Lake, the dozens of the lotus-picking girls must have been hurt by the sister-in-law on their faces!" Gu Yiran stopped dragging Gu Naizheng temporarily because he wanted to apologize to Wei Changying. At this moment, Gu Naizheng was standing crookedly with his sleeves being pulled by Gu Yiran. He hurriedly tidied up his clothes and then interjected angrily, "The sister-in-law was so brave that she could hurt a dozen people's faces! How can such a person be judged like an ordinary woman? How could the scene just now scare her? Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Extremely ridiculous!"
He winked at Wei Changying and smiled cheerfully, "Sister-in-law, am I right?"
She didn’t know why the rumors had spread as she had hurt the lotus-picking girls, but it was Shen Cangfeng who had done it and Wei Changying didn’t care about taking the blame for her husband. She could force a smile and said perfunctorily to Gu Yiran, but she failed to do that on Gu Naizheng. Wei Changying said blankly and decisively, "Brother Zilie, goodbye!"
Seeing her expression like sending away a plague god, Gu Yiran was extremely ashamed, held a fist salute, and dragged Gu Naizheng away. Gu Naizheng refused to go as if he didn't know that he was unwelcomed by Wei Changying, turning back to ask Wei Changying for help, "Sister-in-law, I'm here as a guest, but Gu Ziming, my evil brother, wants to drag me away! It is outrageous! After I go back, I will punish him! Sister-in-law, help me quickly! I want to stay, and I will write an eternal essay to Brother Yaoye's spear. Of course, it depends on whether the maidservants sent by sister-in-law to persuade to drink are beautiful enough. Sister-in-law..."
Hearing that there was a bit of joy in his voice, Wei Changying wanted to catch him and strangle him to death!
She really didn’t understand why this guy was still happy now. Didn’t he see that Duanmu Wuyou over there had already thrown away the people who were holding him several times? Even Shen Cangfeng had been pushed away several times. Now he was looking for him everywhere desperately to have a fight with him.
A good-looking young man with a handsome face, who was angry like a mad bull, raised his four-rowed iron mace, looking for Gu Naizheng everywhere in the crowd. Judging from Duanmu Wuyou's posture, it seemed that he would definitely smash Gu Naizheng's head with a blow!
Thinking that these two people would still have a brother-in-law relationship in the future, Wei Changying was worried deeply. How would Su Yuli and Su Yufei get along with each other in the future?
Thinking of Gu Naizheng's words of a series of beauties, Wei Changying immediately wanted to rush to the Su mansion and ask her aunt Wei Zhengyin to decline the engagement between Su Yuli and the Gu Family! Gu Naizheng was so lustful that he would not give up any chance, whether it was a daughter of an eminent family or an actress in the theater, regardless it was a good woman or a whore. He even wouldn't let go of a widow!
And even a childish girl...
Such a fiance!
Wei Changying's grief came from it: Could it be that all of her lineal cousins couldn't escape the tragic fate of marrying evil persons? Song Zaishui was like that, so was Su Yuli!
Her heart was entangled for a long time before she calmed down. Everyone over there finally calmed Duanmu Wuyou a little bit with persuasion. At this time, estimating that Gu Yiran had also pulled Gu Naizheng away, a group of sweaty people exposed to the hot sun finally loosened Duanmu Wuyou carefully. Originally they came together today to visit the ill Shen Cangfeng, who invited his wife to entertain the guests. As a result, Gu Naizheng and Duanmu Wuyou had demonstrated their martial arts before greeting the hosts, almost shedding blood in the yard where the couple had just moved in.
Seeing Shen Cangfeng awkwardly tidying up the robes that were tossed when stoping Duanmu Wuyou and Wei Changying standing outside the crowd with an indescribable expression, not knowing what to say or do, everyone felt very guilty and upset, asking Shen Cangfeng to introduce the two sides again.
Shen Cangfeng straightened out his robe and walked to Wei Changying, cheering up and introducing the guests to her.
The people who came to visit today, apart from Gu Yiran, who had pulled Gu Naizheng away, Wei Changying had also met several others before, let alone her lineal cousins Su Yuliang and Su Yuwu. Deng Zongqi, who had saved her, and Gu Wei, who she met along with Gu Yiran on returning to her family, were also here.
Except for them, she had never met the others, but she had heard of them. For example, Nian Shengyao, the one who had betrayed Min Yinuo, the daughter of Min Zhixia, was said to be lustful. When he was still a plain citizen, he dared to harass the official Miss. But according to his appearance, he was a tall, handsome man, with a sense of righteousness. People couldn't see the lust, let alone the obscenity. Wei Changying thought that one couldn't judge a person by his appearance. Luzhu was sent out last time, and she didn't know how she was in his family.
Also, she had heard about Liu Xixun, Liu Youzhao, and Pei Kai. Liu Xixun was burly and tall. Just looking at this physique, anyone would assume that he was a military commander. He was born with two thick eyebrows rising to the temple; his eyes sparkled; his voice was resonant; his temperament seemed very bright.
His clan brother Liu Youzhao, a teenager who had not reached 20 years old, was very different from him. Liu Youzhao had a medium height, probably because of his age. He looked very gentle, especially when he was standing next to Liu Xixun, giving people a feeling of weakness.
But thinking of Shen Die's words that he used a plum blossom-shaped silver awl and almost killed Pei Kai, who was standing not far away, Wei Changying didn't dare to view him as an intellectual. She thought again that the appearance couldn't judge a person.
Pei Kai, who came last to greet, seemed a little cautious. Gu Yiran, Deng Zongqi, and Gu Wei, all of them coming from the aristocratic family as Pei Kai, acted normal, only Pei Kai being restrained. Wei Changying was a little strange. When greeting, she looked at him more carefully, finding that Pei Kai was handsome, and there was no need to feel inferiority, so she became more puzzled.
But they met for the first time, and there were so many people. Wei Changying only knew that her husband had rescued him once, not knowing exactly what the relationship they had and what position he was in the palace. Since it was inconvenient to ask, she had to bury her doubt in the heart.
But after Pei Kai withdrew, Liu Xixun grinned cheekily and said, "Kai, you behave so well today that you can even finish your greetings to the sister-in-law. You must invite us to drink to celebrate!"
It’s okay if he didn’t say that. When he said that, Pei Kai immediately stammered, "I... I... I..." He failed to express his meaning. Wei Changying gradually understood that the handsome son of the Pei Family unexpectedly had a stuttering disease.
Thinking about this, there was a hint of pity and sympathy on her face. Liu Xixun touched his chin and looked at him with a smirk. Pei Kai stuttered even more so that he couldn't even say the word "I".
Gu Yiran was absent, so Deng Zongqi and Shen Cangfeng took the responsibility of mediating. Shen Cangfeng said to Liu Xixun, "Shili, you know Kai's temperament. Now that he behaved well today, why should you remind him and make him more anxious?"
Deng Zongqi explained on behalf of Pei Kai, "Sister-in-law, you do not know the fact." After saying this, he paused unnoticeably before continuing, "Kai has always been afraid of talking to women, so it was only until the end dared he to greet you."
No wonder that! Originally based on identity and background, the last one should be Nian Shengyao, who was born as a plain civilian and being Shen Cangfeng's assistant! But Pei Kai was afraid to talk to her and didn't dare to come forward, so he disrupted the order, and everyone came up in a mess.
Wei Changying thought about her husband’s close friends: the strange Gu Naizheng, the irritable Duanmu Wuyou, the rivals Su Yuliang and Su Yuwu, the lecherous Nian Shengyao, the narrow- minded Liu Xixun, the gentle but robust Liu Youzhao, and Pei Kai, who stuttered when talking to women. There were only ten people today, and the normal ones were Gu Yiran and Deng Zongqi.
Before she came, she was wholeheartedly planning to be a good help for her husband, leaving a good impression on today’s visitors, so as to wash away the embarrassing impression that she had rashly exclaimed before she knew it. Now looking at these people, Wei Changying suddenly felt that there was still a long way of being Shen Cangfeng’s good wife. She bit her lip and thought that she would rather act perfunctorily and leave as soon as possible.
