Gu Hanzhang indeed believed that he could do it, but Chengfeng was not very optimistic about him. For someone with a dull temper who couldn't hold it in for a long time, trying to express his feelings would be tantamount to wishful thinking.
But Gu Hanzhang was so confident that Chengfeng didn't mind seeing his jokes.
Of course, Cheng Feng now has no idea that Gu Hanzhang and Chao Li are not actually married. They are just a couple in name. He thought that Gu Hanzhang was attracted to Chao Li and wanted to reciprocate her feelings.
"You are a heartless and unjust person. It's too much to just throw it away after you use it." Cheng Feng yelled.
Gu Hanzhang stood up and ignored Chengfeng's show.
"By the way, let the prince prepare for the royal hunt in advance. King Rui and King Li will make moves. Don't rush in when they are fighting with each other."
"I know, I know, it's annoying." Cheng Feng leaned on the table and waved his hand.
Cheng Feng really wanted Gu Hanzhang's help, but he didn't want to have anything to do with Lin Shanshan.
In addition to Lin Shanshan herself not being able to meet his minimum requirements for a woman, another reason is that after getting married, she will be restrained and it will be difficult to even think about going out and having fun.
Especially with Lin Shoufu's status and his temperament, he really didn't dare.
But Gu Hanzhang's words were not unreasonable. Marrying Lin Shanshan was equivalent to getting Lin Shoufu's support, but such a marriage was also not what he wanted.
What kind of marriage does he want?
Chengfeng didn't know, he only knew that every time he was with a different woman, he seemed to feel empty.
Could it be that if you really need to find someone to love you, things will be different?
Gu Hanzhang had already left for a while, and Cheng Feng slowly stood up and walked out.
The sunshine today was very good, but it was a bit dazzling. Chengfeng suddenly felt empty and complicated in his heart, and he didn't know what to do.
After a long time, he got up and went back home. It was rare that he didn't go wandering outside today.
After Gu Hanzhang left Liuyuan, he also went to Linglong Pavilion, but unfortunately Linglong was not there, so he had to give up.
At noon, Gu Hanzhang returned to the mansion, but he did not go back to Yuge's study, but went to the front hall.
At this moment, there are two tables in the front hall. In the past, there were no separate tables for dining in the front hall on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Men and women were mixed together. The old Marquis was a rough man, so naturally he would not pay so much attention.
Virtual courtesy.
The situation is different now. Chaoli married into the Hou family and she is the first granddaughter-in-law. Therefore, the old Marquis asked Princess Desao to separate the tables so that it would be more convenient for men and women to sit separately.
The Princess of Dessau was indeed arrogant, but she was still very prudent in everything she did. However, it took two or three days to reorder two round tables.
No, the women sit on the right side of the door, and the men sit on the left.
Gu Hanzhang showed no abnormality when he saw the table. Now on Gu Yuan's left were Gu Qinghan, Gu Qingyu, Gu Qinghai and Gu Qingfeng, as well as Gu Jiu and Gu Zhou.
But there was an empty seat on Gu Yuan's right, and no one sat on it.
Gu Hanzhang stepped forward and called his grandfather, then sat next to Gu Yuan. Everyone looked as usual and knew that was Gu Hanzhang's seat.
"Your Majesty is really busy. He was injured and still running around outside. We have to wait for meals." Gu Jiu was the first one to be unable to sit still.
They are all from the Gu family, so why can he, Gu Hanzhang, get all the benefits, but they get nothing?
Even the names are treated differently. They all have the same word and were named by their father. Only Gu Hanzhang was the name finally decided by his grandfather after looking through many names.
Not to mention that Gu Hanzhang had surpassed their father's generation and was appointed by his grandfather as the next heir apparent of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and an imperial edict was requested for him.
Is it because he has a princess mother?
But what about the princess?
After marrying into the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, she is just a wife, and is no longer the golden princess she was before.
Gu Zhou's eyes flashed with coldness, he raised a smile and spoke to the side.
"Second brother, I have nothing to say. It's rare for my grandfather to go out to the yard to have a meal today. Since my sister-in-law came in, we haven't had a family dinner. Today is a good day."
Chaoli was speechless sitting next to the female relatives. Gu Zhou, a sinister villain, quietly brought the topic to her, which was really disgusting.
Since she and Gu Xiyue were sitting next to Princess Desao, she could see that Gu Xiyue's face was not very good-looking.
Also, Gu Xiyue hated her two cousins in her previous life.
Gu Yuan originally had an expressionless face, but after hearing what Gu Jiu and Gu Zhou said, his face darkened slightly, but he did not speak. After thinking about it, he still planned to endure it.
Gu Qingfeng was on the side to smooth things over. He looked at the two brothers Gu Jiu and Gu Zhou with a smile.
"Okay, today's family dinner, your grandfather's health has improved a lot. He should be happy to be able to go out to eat now. Hanzhang must have come back late because he had something to do. You also know that the Ministry of Punishment is busy with official duties.
Even if Hanzhang is still injured, he still has to go and have a look."
Chao Li knew clearly that Fourth Uncle Gu was making excuses for Gu Hanzhang, but it was not just the two brothers Gu Jiu and Gu Zhou who were jealous of Gu Hanzhang in the house.
When Gu Hanzhang didn't come back just now, their eyes always fell on her intentionally or unintentionally, making her feel on pins and needles.
This kind of gaze was not meant to express appreciation, but had a strong purpose. They wanted to use her to deal with Gu Hanzhang, which was the case in the previous life.
In their opinion, Gu Hanzhang had always been invulnerable, but now his only weakness was her. In short, these two people were not good people.
Fortunately, Gu Hanzhang came back, Chaoli felt slightly relieved.
Gu Qinghai burst out laughing and said, "Fourth brother, you are helping Hanzhang speak for you because you think he will get some benefits from becoming the Marquis of Zhenbei in the future?"
"That's right, Fourth Brother, Hanzhang has never gotten any good jobs for us. I think you should not think too much about it." Gu Qingyu also joined in.
Princess Desao was so angry that she clenched her hands into fists. If she hadn't been a woman and couldn't speak in front of Gu Yuan, seeing how hard it was for her to deal with those two brothers-in-law, they were all really mentally ill. She didn't have the ability to blame his son for not getting a good job.
, it’s quite beautiful to think about.
From the beginning to the end, Gu Hanzhang acted as if he had not heard what they said and did not make any move.
However, Gu Yuan was so angry that he started to protest.
"That's enough! I'm an old man who's not dead yet, and you're just talking about these nonsense! My granddaughter-in-law's first family dinner was ruined by you bastards. Don't forget that I just left the house today.
Come out! Everyone thinks that I am biased in passing on the title of Crown Prince to Han Zhang. Then have you thought about yourselves? Do you have the strength to match Han Zhang to be the Crown Prince?"
The old Marquis was extremely angry, and his words were a bit harsh. The entire front hall was very quiet.
