No matter how old Mrs. Qu doesn't like Mrs. Zhang, she has to take the younger generations to salute when she arrives at other people's house, otherwise she will be rude. So when Mrs. Zhang meets Mrs. Zhang, she sees her stinky face.

Mrs. Zhang was surprised, but she didn't say anything. She still received her with a smile, giving her enough face.

When Old Qu saw that Mrs. Zhang did not shy her face like she did every time, he was shocked, and then he started to show off and taught a lesson with contempt: "The grandchildren of the old sister's family should get married, how old are they! If they don't get married, they won't be able to choose a good one."

Gu Yan glanced at Old Qu like a fool, and a meaningful smile flashed in her eyes.

Stupid woman! She has lived in vain for half her life, and she doesn't even see if she has the ability or confidence to provoke others, so she jumps up, deserves to be kicked down.

Gu Yan no longer looked at Old Qu, and was speechless at this stupid old lady. She felt that living in the same mansion with her was an insult. Now she felt that the air was dirty when sitting with her. So she was too lazy to sit here and watch her smile.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her, "It's okay. When you get married, you have to find someone you like. If you don't like, you just want to worry. Not only will you have to take a concubine and have a concubine son. It takes too time. Taking a concubine is the foundation of a mess. I don't want to see my parents-in-law who has no face to see my parents-in-law in a hundred years. Besides, I don't want to see my grandson crawling on a woman's belly every day. If you have that skill, I'd better think about how to be loyal to the emperor."

Mrs. Zhang said a few words to her, but the old Qu face turned pale and almost didn't come up.

What does she mean? She said she had too many concubines? Or was she showing off that she had no concubines? This shrew was too bullying!

Old Qu just wanted to explode, but Mrs. Zhang didn't want to pay attention to her. She smiled and held Gu Yan's hand and said, "Good boy, did you have a good rest last night? Do you have confidence? It's okay if you don't have it. If you lose, you will lose. It's nothing. We stay in the back house for many years and cannot compare with those people. Don't be too sad. Remember, no matter what the result is, the old woman will definitely try her best to protect you."

Gu Yan nodded with her lips, glanced at Old Qu in a vague way, and whispered: "The misfortune of the family makes the old lady laugh."

Old Qu didn't see Gu Yan glanced at her, nor did he hear what Gu Yan said in detail. He just glanced at Gu Yan in confusion, rolled his eyes at Mrs. Zhang, sat down and chatted with the other old ladies.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at the back of the old Qu and sneered: "It's okay, I don't care about old woman. Don't talk about those annoying things. Let me introduce them to me. Is this your mother?"

Only then did Gu Yan remember that Mrs. Zhang had not seen Tang before, so she immediately bowed apologetically.

"It was Yan'er who was confused and forgot that the old lady had never met her mother."

After saying that, Gu Yan turned around and asked Mother Zhao to push Tang closer, saying, "Mother, this is the old lady from Wu'an Hou Mansion, the old lady, this is the mother."

Down smiled apologetically with his back against the wheelchair, took Gu Yan's hand and said, "I'm so sorry, I'm in poor health and can't pay my respects to the old lady. I hope the old lady will not blame me."

Mrs. Zhang pretended to be angry and waved her hand, "Am I that stingy person? Besides, even if you bow, it should be the old woman saluting Mrs. Liangguo. You don't blame the old woman for not knowing the etiquette, so how can you choose your reason?"

Tang waved his hand in panic, "No, no, no, you are respected and an elder, how can you let the old lady salute me? I am just a wife, and it was only the emperor and the wise and wise that he named me a wife. In fact, I am not worthy of it."

What did Mrs. Zhang want to say again, and Gu Yan interrupted.

"The old lady doesn't have to be too humble, and the mother doesn't have to laugh at herself. No one of you has to salute anyone. We can just deal with it normally. Mrs., how are the gambling things arranged?"

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked her mother who was serving her.

"Have the prince's wife arranged it?"

"The prince's wife doesn't know that. They are all played by the man. I heard that they were all decided by the prince, and the others were arranged by the prince's wife."

"Oh, I said, that girl didn't say anything. It turned out that she didn't care. Okay, just ignore it. Let's not ask. Then Mai Yan won."

Gu Yan had a serious face and bowed sincerely.

"Don't worry, old lady, since the old lady believed in Yan'er, Yan'er would not disappoint the old lady."

Mrs. Zhang didn't care. She didn't want to make money, but just wanted to support Gu Yan, so that everyone knows that women are not weaker than men.

Gu Yan, Tang and Mrs. Zhang said a few more words, and then returned to the side of the waiting stands to rest.

Tang had nothing to do, so he had to close his eyes and rest, which also gave the illusion that Tang's health was really bad and had not recovered.

Tang's performance unexpectedly made several families with concubines see it, and they also wanted to marry the concubines in their family to Gu An as soon as Tang died.

Tang didn't know, and even if he knew, he would laugh and didn't care.

As time went by, more and more people came to the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and all the families of various aristocratic families in the capital and the families of officials in the court were present. Gu Yan also met many people, including Prince An and Prince An, who were accompanied by Luo Rongxuan, second senior sister Yao Qian and third senior sister Gong Hanrui.

Prince An looks handsome and wears a white Confucian shirt, but his face is cold and everyone looks light. Only when facing Prince An can you find a trace of warmth in his eyes.

Gu Yan's three senior sisters have already been married. The eldest princess Luo Wanqing married Chu Yunfei, the second son of Duke Wei's mansion. She has a daughter and is now pregnant with her second child and has not come today.

The second senior sister Yao Qian is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. She married the eldest son of the third senior sister and the prince of the Pingyang Hou Mansion and became the eldest sister-in-law of the third senior sister. The third senior sister Gong Hanrui married the eldest son of the Wu family of the Minister of War, and became the sister-in-law of the Wu family of the prince of the Wu'an Hou Mansion.

It's not a word of chaos!

Gu Yan has a headache when she thinks of the confusing and complex interpersonal relationships in Beijing.

"No wonder there are some things that the emperor can't make decisions. Officials from all generations have become relatives. You can help me and I help you in the officialdom. When you get home, you hold his sister and he hug her sister. It's really messy!"

"What did the lady say?"

Shuxiang saw Gu Yan muttering and whispering, and asked with concern.

Gu Yan sighed and shook her head and said, "It's nothing. There are too many people here. Keep my mother well. Those families just now have watched. If anyone dares to touch my mother, don't be polite. Throw it into the lake to wake up your mind."

Shuxiang said "um" and nodded to a maid from Wu'an Hou Mansion beside her.

Gu Yan glanced at him and felt relieved when she saw that it was her own person.

Why don’t he care about so much? Whoever marrys whoever marrys has nothing to do with her. She just needs to protect their family. As for others, let alone she is not kind-hearted, it has nothing to do with her.

At the beginning of the Si period, Emperor Wen of Wei drove to Wu'an Hou Mansion with light chariots. Everyone first greeted him. Emperor Wen of Wei called him and sat in the main seat. Since Emperor Wen of Wei did not bring the palace concubine and the empress dowager did not come, Mrs. Zhang, as the master, sat at his hand.

"Huairou, come here and let me see. Are the days getting better?"

As soon as Emperor Wen of Wei sat down, he waved to Gu Yan and asked Gu Yan to go over and reply.

Gu Yan lowered her head slightly and asked Shuxiang to push her to Emperor Wen of Wei.

Emperor Wen of Wei was very happy to see Gu Yan and asked with a smile: "I have heard about yesterday. Your remarks are very novel and bold, but I am very happy, just because you broke the traditional concept and believed that women are not worse than men, and men do not have to take concubines. To be honest, I also think so, because my mother is a hero among the girls who is not worse than any man. She is the only one who is not in the country, otherwise...

As a member of men, I am also afraid that you will win. It is too shameless, but I hope you can win, and it is also easy to slap those self-righteous people in the face, so that they can wake up and let them know that taking concubines is not a good thing, and it is even more unwilling to despise women.

You are so kind! I am very entangled! Do you think I should hope you win? Or hope you lose?"

Gu Yan said without thinking, "It's better to win, the odds are very considerable, and the treasury can also be more money. The emperor should not participate in the peace, so as not to bet the ministers to please you, and there will be no profit."

Emperor Wen of Wei, who wanted to place a bet on Gu Yan's winning, regretfully gave up his thoughts after hearing this. Compared to wanting to experience a gambling, the money in the national treasury is more important.

Emperor Wen of Wei arrived and the competition officially began. The rules were very simple. If you want to compete with Gu Yan, you should register first. The number of people reached 100, and the registration fee was 10 taels of silver.

Gu Yan and Wu'an Hou Mansion were not ready to ask for this money, and they were all sent to the treasury after the competition was over, so everyone had no objection. Ten taels of silver were nothing to them, so they took it. Anyway, they didn't put it into Gu Yan's pocket and all of them were contributed to the treasury, so everyone didn't feel distressed.

There were many people who signed up, and the number of people who participated in the first competition was complete in a short while. Those who did not register even regretfully smashed their mouths, feeling that they had lost a great opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor.

Think about it, how capable a woman is? It’s just that she has been on the battlefield and fought a war. What’s the point? Her ability to fight does not mean that she can do anything else. With their ability, she will have to stare at her once they come on the stage and will definitely lose. Although she won a woman without any shame, after all, she won and can still show her face in front of the emperor. What if the emperor remembers it? Then..., haha, the future is promising!

Gu Yan was already ready, just waiting for Emperor Wen of Wei to issue an order to start the competition. Emperor Wen of Wei glanced at Gu Yan, who was calm and looked at the many young talents who were about to participate in the competition.

Well! Don’t say that they are all pretty good, but I don’t know how the piano is playing. He heard from the eldest princess that Gu Yan is her junior sister, and she has learned all the true teachings of Tan Jiazhi. She has learned more than his daughter. I don’t know if these people have ever compared them?

There were too many people in the competition and they could not play together, so Emperor Wen of Wei set up the specific content of the competition to make the competition go faster.

In the first competition, Emperor Wen of Wei asked Gu Yan to play a song [Li Sao] first, and then everyone felt that they were better than Gu Yan, so they went on stage, so the others didn't have to come on. After they had finished playing, half of them were selected to play for the next game.

Gu Yan has no objection, and others have to hold on. Whoever wants to let it be the rule set by Emperor Wen of Wei can only listen to it, and even if they don’t accept it, they have to hold on.

But after Gu Yan finished playing, these people had different ideas.

The emperor is a wise ruler and a good emperor who cares about his people. Fortunately, the emperor is also a man, so he left them some way out, otherwise he would be too shameful today.

Everyone came back to their senses from the melodious sound of the song and knew that the first competition had basically failed.

[Li Sao] is a representative work of Qu Yuan, a famous patriotic poet in the Warring States Period. It was compiled into a guqin song by later generations. Gu Yan fully expressed the melancholy and depression of Qu Yuan after being traitorously slandered by the piano sound, which perfectly reflected his lofty feelings of homesickness and patriotism.

Gu Yan's piano sound went from desolate and depressing, making people feel sad and tortuous, and later it swept away the dull atmosphere, bold and unrestrained, and unwilling to be burdened by heaven and earth, expressing Qu Yuan's spirit of courage to pursue the truth.

Everyone followed her piano music and her mood changed constantly, from sadness to joy, from joy to sigh, and in the end, they were as if they saw the vast earth, making their hearts tremble, and a heroic feeling arises naturally.

Everyone knew that this item was incomparable. No one present could surpass her. Perhaps only the world can suppress him.

The men stared at Gu Yan with resentment, while the women looked complicated and difficult to tell. No one spoke in the school for a long time. It was not until Emperor Wen of Wei took the lead in applause that there were sparse applause in the venue.

In the stands of Dingyuan Hou Mansion, Gu Shuyu looked calm. Even if Gu Yan won the competition, there was no big fluctuation, but he was shocked and wondered who taught Gu Yan.

Gu Shuyu wanted to ask Gu An, who did Gu Yan learn about his piano skills, but Gu An ignored him at all and whispered to Tang. He was afraid that this time would disturb him, so Gu An would not give him face, so he had to press his mind to ask.

Old Qu and Gu Rui's faces were about to be distorted, and they stared at Gu Yan and wanted to eat her.

In their opinion, Gu Yan can't win in one game. There are many young and middle-aged people in Beijing. Gu Yan, a little girl who has been in a remote border for eight years, cannot compare to them anyway. You must know that these people have received training and training on various skills since childhood. What Gu Yan can learn is definitely not comparable to, but she did not expect that she could do it.

Emperor Wen of Wei did not say anything and waved his hand to carry out the next competition.

The second game was chess. There were many applicants, so you could go there as long as you signed up. Gu Yan didn't care how many there were. Before Emperor Wen of Wei could tell the rules of the competition, Gu Yan spoke first.

"Go together, don't waste time."

Emperor Wen of Wei and everyone present were stunned and looked at Gu Yan.

"What does Huairou mean?"

Emperor Wen of Wei asked everyone, and Gu Yan replied: "Each person and one table is placed in a square shape, and I hold a black piece of black stock in the middle to compete with everyone."

"furious!"

"It's too much, how can this be done?"

"I look down on people too much. She looks down on young and middle-aged talents in Beijing."

"The little girl is very brave!"

"Hmph! I just don't know if her chess skills are as shocking as her courage."

"What are you afraid of compared to her?"

"It would be too embarrassing to compete as she wished. It would be unfair to win."
