33
In the garden in the front yard, the banquet had already ended. The young ladies and young masters of the various families were drinking tea and admiring the flowers.
Gu Tingye was indeed worthy of being a playboy. There were already groups of girls around him. Whether it was his identity as the second young master of the Marquisdom or his elegant and suave posture, they all attracted the attention of these girls.
Although Gu Qianfan and Jia Huan were both extraordinary, one was a living Yama and the other was a battlefield general.
Jia Huan was only a little kinder to his sisters, but he was still cold to strangers.
Therefore, those girls could only secretly watch.
In the attic far away, Lin Daiyu was talking to the old lady of the Sheng family with a few young ladies of the Sheng family beside her.
Sheng Hualan, who was about to be married off, had her second daughter, Sheng Rulan, and her eldest daughter, Sheng Molan.
Wang Ruofu and Lil 'Miss Lin were also present. Their eyes were shining as they looked at the arena.
To be precise, he was looking at Jia Huan, Gu Qianfan, and Gu Tingye.
The news gathering in the rear residence was really fast. At this time, the madams of each family all knew the identities of these three young masters.
The first was Gu Qianfan, the deputy commander of the Imperial City's Embroidered Guards. He was a fifth-grade official at a young age, and the kind with real power. He was simply a rich son-in-law.
Although his family had declined, he was a signboard! Moreover, there were no elders in the family, so there would not be any conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law if the daughter married over.
Of course, if they knew that Gu Qianfan was the son of the Left Prime Minister, they would probably go crazy.
Next was Gu Tingye. There was nothing much to say about him. The second young master of the Marquis of Ningyuan's residence had a status that far surpassed that of the second young master of the Marquis of Zhongqin's residence.
Finally, it was Jia Huan. His name was not exposed, only that he was a disciple of the Jia family's Rong Mansion.
Just this identity alone was enough to move people.
"Mo Lan, look at that Gu Qianfan. That's your target.”
Lil 'Miss Lin whispered to her daughter.
The second young master of the Marquis of Ningyuan had an elder brother above him who definitely couldn't inherit the title. Furthermore, he seemed to be an experienced womanizer and wasn't a suitable candidate.
But Gu Qianfan was different! Although he didn't have the wealth and splendor of his family, he himself was extremely noble!
At this age, he was already the deputy commander of the Imperial City's Embroidered Guards. In the future, he would probably become the Imperial City's Chief Commander!
At that time, he would be a third-grade official! That was why he was a true lover.
As for Jia Huan's words, they were not within the scope of their consideration. Although the Rong Public House was noble, the larger the family, the more complicated it was. Perhaps this was an unfavored son of a concubine.
However, they were not wrong. Jia Huan was indeed a bastard son, but he was an extremely noble bastard son.
"Mother, I understand."
Mo Lan's eyes also sparkled. It was obvious that she was treating Gu Qianfan as a rich husband.
Unfortunately, Gu Qianfan wasn't the kind of person who would indulge in women.
If he hadn't met Zhao Pan 'er by accident, Gu Qianfan would probably have been alone for the rest of his life.
At most, he would find a decent woman to marry and leave a descendant for his uncle's family.
Naturally, Wang Ruofu was choosing for his daughter Rulan. She had also taken a fancy to Gu Qianfan.
If he was successful and there was no trouble from his mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law at home, wasn't this the best marriage?
Lin Daiyu watched from the side and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
When the girls came forward to admire the flowers, Lin Daiyu came to Jia Huan's side and said softly.
"Aiya, my third brother has been underestimated by others. They didn't even choose you as their son-in-law.”
The corner of Jia Huan's mouth twitched. Lin Daiyu, this girl, was so sarcastic. He didn't know who she had learned it from. As expected of Lin Detan.
However, when he saw Gu Qianfan and Gu Tingye surrounded by all kinds of girls, he shook his head helplessly.
Forget about Gu Tingye, he had always been popular in the capital.
But Gu Qianfan, this guy, actually had someone come up? Even Jia Huan, who didn't care, was a little unconvinced.
Was he not handsome enough? It seemed that no matter what era it was, status was the most important!
Jia Huan was only joking. After all, Sheng Molan, who had been pestering Gu Qianfan, would be in trouble if she pestered him.
Just like her mother, that woman was not easy to get along with.
At this moment, a young girl in a light yellow dress slowly walked over.
Xiao Die had described Jia Huan's clothes, so she recognized Jia Huan immediately.
Under everyone's puzzled gazes, she slowly came in front of Jia Huan.
"Thank you for your help today, Young Master Jia. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future.”
Ming Lan said seriously.
Jia Huan smiled slightly. He did not expect this girl to personally come and thank him.
The old madam and the others in the pavilion were puzzled.
"This Ming girl knows that Young Master Jia? When did this happen?"
Everyone shook their heads, obviously not knowing when they had met.
Lin Daiyu also looked at Jia Huan curiously, as if she was asking a question.
Jia Huan whispered into her ear and explained. The two of them had been together for so long, so it was normal for them to be so intimate.
"I see!"
Lin Daiyu came to a sudden realization and quickly walked forward to hold Ming Lan's hand.
"Hello, Sister Ming Lan. Just call me Yu 'er.”
She was a sentimental woman. When she heard about Ming Lan's matter, it was as if she thought of her third brother, Jia Huan, who had been targeted in various ways in the residence. Immediately, she felt even more pity for Ming Lan.
Sheng Molan, who had been pestering Gu Qianfan, saw this scene and felt disdain.
"That's all you have. Although you're from the High Duke's Public House, you might be the son of a concubine. Otherwise, why would you come to such a remote place?”
She wondered if Sheng Molan would still think this way when she found out Jia Huan's true identity.
Because of Dai Yu's initiative to get close, Ming Lan gradually relaxed.
After the banquet, Jia Huan wanted to return the bracelet to Ming Lan before he left, but Ming Lan refused. She said that she would get it back from Jia Huan.
However, Jia Huan's face was filled with helplessness. She was just a boudoir's daughter. How could she find a hundred taels to return to him?
Lin Daiyu suddenly said.
"Didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to make a new saddle for Third Brother?”
"Why don't you come to my house often these days, big sister Ming Lan, and we'll cook for Third Brother together.”
"When the time comes, I'll give it to Third Brother as a redemption for the bracelet.”
Ming Lan was stunned. How could this be?!
However, Jia Huan's eyes lit up as he gratefully looked at Sister Lin and laughed.
"It's settled then! If you didn't personally show off the saddle, then I don't want it!”
Hearing Jia Huan's words and then looking at his back view as he left with a big laugh, Ming Lan did not know why her face turned red.
He thought to himself.
"Beijing?"
She was looking forward to going to the capital. Would she be able to meet this Young Master Jia again after going to the capital?
