Chaoli looked slightly blessed, with no emotion on his face and a light smile.
"Father, the two sisters are here too."
Princess Dessau's face was full of disdain. She didn't even look at Chao Lu. She looked down on this in-law completely and turned her head and walked aside.
Gu Qinghan was a learned gentleman, so he would not do anything disrespectful to Princess Desao. Instead, he spoke to Chao Lu in a very good-tempered manner.
"It's a coincidence that the in-laws are here. We met at the door. Let's go in together."
Chao Lu was so happy that he felt sleepy on the pillow. He was originally going to bring Chao Zhen and Chao Wan to Chao Li, but Qing Han gave him this opportunity regardless of Qing Han.
"Okay, in-laws, let's go in together." Chao Lu winked at Chao Zhen.
Chaozhen understood the meaning immediately, walked up to Chaoli obediently and called her sister.
Chao Wan bit her lip and had no choice but to follow Chao Li.
In fact, she didn't quite understand why someone with no sense of existence like her was called by Chaoli to be with Chaozhen. It was clear that she had never had a sense of existence.
Indeed, she didn't know that Chaoli had a good attitude toward people who had shown kindness to her in her previous life.
What's more, she was happy to make Chaozhen unhappy.
Chaozhen felt that she was the most favored person in the palace, and everyone would surround her. Even if Chaoli had already married to the Zhenbei Houfu, they would still pave the way for her to become friends with the famous daughters of the capital.
.
Who knew that Chaoli also called Chaowan, which made her very unhappy.
Who is Chao Wan? She is just the daughter of an unloved aunt. What qualifications does she have to be compared with her?
Chaoli pretended not to understand and led the three of them into Guo Mansion, followed by their maids.
After entering the Guo Mansion, everyone handed birthday gifts to the steward of the Guo Mansion and was invited inside by the servants.
In a big banquet like today, male and female guests sit separately, which is why Chao Lu asked Chao Li to take Chao Zhen with him. He couldn't do it himself.
The meal had not started yet, so the female guests were invited to the backyard, while the male guests stayed in the front hall.
Mrs. Guo's son, Guo Kai, is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He is still in his fifties now. However, he is still an upright and honest official, and his reputation is very good, so there are not many people who come to congratulate him.
Of course, the person who came to congratulate was not only because of Guo Kai's character, but also because of his status as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
You should know that the Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of Daqi’s government orders regarding household registration, taxes and servitude, financial and silk transfers, etc.
Therefore, despite the fact that Gu Kai is only a third-rank minister, even some second-rank ministers want to give him some face, and people with status like Zhenbei Houfu are willing to come to celebrate his birthday.
The front yard is very lively, but the back yard is relatively quiet.
Chaozhen saw that no one around her came to compliment Chaoli, but went to talk to Princess Desao, and she also came over.
Chaoli naturally wouldn't care. She had already done what she promised Chao Lu today, and she didn't care what Chao Zhen would do next.
Now, she is in the name of the Gu family, and what Chaozhen does has nothing to do with her.
Not only that, according to the memory of the previous life, Chaoli will add fuel to the fire.
"Ali."
With a soft call, Chaoli turned around and saw Song Lingxin, and then she smiled.
"Ling Xin is here."
Song Lingxin came over with Zi Yuan, held Chaoli's hand affectionately, with the same smile on her face, and said hello to Gu Le and Chao Wan.
They were all from the same circle in the capital, and Song Lingxin often went to the imperial palace to see Chao Li, so naturally they all knew each other.
Gu Le and the uneasy Chao Wan looked at each other and had a tacit understanding.
"Sister-in-law, Chao Wan and I went to the side to talk." Gu Le said with a smile.
Chaoli understood that this was a place for her and Song Lingxin to talk, so he smiled gratefully at the two of them.
After Chao Wan and Gu Le left, Song Lingxin took Chao Li to a place with few people.
"A Li, your sister and Gu Le are quite good. Chao Wan is soft-tempered, but not bad at heart. And Gu Le is a well-educated girl, much better than her fourth sister." Song Lingxin whispered.
road.
"Ling Xin is really smart. He can know the personalities of two people without much contact. It's true." Chaoli looked around, "By the way, have you heard anything about your marriage proposal in the past few days?"
According to Song Lingxin's mother's doting on her, she would inform her if there were any signs of the marriage proposal.
Hearing this, Song Lingxin immediately lowered her head and her ears turned red.
"A-Li, don't be like this. Keep your voice down. If someone hears you, you might say I'm shameless." Song Ling felt a little embarrassed.
Chaoli's eyes narrowed slightly, "Can Aunt Cen tell me which young master he is?"
The Aunt Cen she refers to is Song Lingxin's mother Cen. Cen is the legitimate wife of Song Lingxin's father Song Chen, but she has a temper and manages the Song family's back house very properly.
Song Lingxin's little face turned red, "I didn't know this at first, but my mother told me yesterday that my grandmother meant to give me the title of Chen Zhao, Mr. Chen, in charge of Guanglu Temple."
Chaoli narrowed his eyes slightly, he was indeed the disgusting bitch from his previous life!
Chen Zhao is indeed a talented person. He is a young man with good manners and conversation. He is not too old. He is twenty-four this year.
Three years ago, Chen Zhao entered the top three, and was appointed by the current Holy Emperor as Tan Hua Lang in the Jinluan Palace, and was favored by many women.
After staying in the Hanlin Academy for two years, he was named the official of Guanglu Temple this year by the Holy Emperor. I think he will be re-employed soon.
Chen Zhao is indeed a good person in the eyes of outsiders. Song Lingxin's grandmother chose such a marriage for her, presumably because she was optimistic about Chen Zhao's future, even if he is only a sixth-grade courtier now.
But no one thought that Chen Zhao was extremely unruly in private and got together with his sister-in-law.
Not only that, he also got entangled with the beautiful young widow and even kept an outhouse in the alley.
When Song Lingxin married Chen Zhao, she was also full of joy thinking that she had married a man of her dreams. Who knew that this man had already secretly been infected with flowers and willows.
One year after getting married, poor Song Lingxin found out that she also had the disease and went to question Chen Zhao, but was framed by Chen Zhao for having an affair.
The helpless Song Lingxin had no choice but to die to clarify her ambitions, and died at a young age.
In this life, she would not watch Song Ling heart jump into the fire pit no matter what. She must let her see clearly the true face of that piece of shit Chen Zhao.
But having said that, Gu Hanzhang didn't ask her to pay attention to her sense of propriety and keep a distance from Song Lingxin on her wedding night. Maybe it was because she didn't think of this at the time.
It was just that when she and Song Lingxin went to Liuyuan later, he didn't mention these things. I don't know why.
"A Li? What are you thinking about?" Song Lingxin tugged on Chaoli's sleeve.
Chaoli came back to his senses and shook his head.
"It's nothing. I just thought of something unpleasant. Let's go a little further inside and talk as we go."
