When Gu Wangshu heard this, he immediately stood up and a look of joy flashed on his face.
"In Erbo's study?"
Qiu Chi shook his head: "The weather is sultry, so the second master took Mr. Chen Hou to the Garden Water Pavilion."
Gu Wangshu was eager to see Chen Zui.
She turned to Yun Musheng and said, "Cousin, would you like to meet with me for a while, Marquis Chen?"
Yun Musheng was stunned when he heard the words "Master Chen".
Chen Zui?
Why did he come to the General's Mansion?
Just hearing his name made her heart become uncontrollably chaotic.
She wanted to see Chen Zui, but Chen Zui suddenly came to the general's mansion, presumably to discuss important matters with Xiao Shu's second uncle, so it might not be appropriate for them to go.
Yun Mu Sheng expressed his worries, but Gu Wangshu smiled calmly.
"My cousin doesn't know, but I asked my second uncle to invite Lord Chen to the mansion."
Yun Musheng's eyes were filled with confusion.
"you?"
"Yes!" Gu Wangshu nodded: "After hearing about the deeds of Lord Chen, I am very curious about this Lord Chen who can dominate all countries at a young age."
Yun Musheng pursed her lips.
Talents like Chen Zui are not just women, but all knowledgeable people will be moved by them.
For no reason, an indescribable sadness arose in her heart.
Mr. Chen is young and talented, and he holds a high position. Even Xiao Shu will be attracted to him, which shows that he will definitely attract more women to fall in love with him in the future.
Yun Musheng held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, a look of disappointment flashed across her face.
Gu Wangshu was focused on Chen Zui and never noticed Yun Musheng's mood.
She grabbed Yun Musheng and led her towards the back garden of the General's Mansion.
Not long after, the two arrived.
In the garden, green leaves are stirring, flowers are dotted, and the fragrance permeates the air, blending with water vapor and hitting the nostrils, making people feel relaxed and happy.
In the center of the garden, the artificial pond is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.
In the pond, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the blooming flowers shuttle among the rippling lotus leaves.
A simple and elegant stone bridge extends from the shore to the center of the pond, where the waterside pavilion stands.
The cornices and cornices are antique, and the waterside pavilion is surrounded by wisterias, either hovering between the beams and columns, or hanging under the cornices, creating an interesting contrast.
In this quiet waterside pavilion, two people sat opposite each other, enjoying the quiet time.
A gentle breeze blew up, gently blowing the hair between their foreheads. From a distance, they looked like a moving ink painting.
Gu Wangshu's eyes first fell on his second uncle, Gu Chengfeng, and then moved away to look at the man sitting opposite his second uncle.
Yun Musheng entered the garden and fixed his eyes on Chen Sui.
Perhaps feeling the gaze of the two people, Chen Zui, who was chatting with Gu Chengfeng, turned his head and looked over.
He glanced at Gu Wangshu with a faint gaze, and finally looked at Yun Musheng.
The corners of his lips raised slightly, and his eyes became warmer.
Yun Musheng's breath hitched as he smiled, and he smiled back.
Neither of them spoke, but where their eyes met, there seemed to be thousands of words hidden in them.
In a flash, Gu Wangshu led Yun Mu Sheng to stroll to the waterside pavilion and stopped beside Gu Chengfeng.
She first saluted and said hello to Gu Chengfeng, and Yun Musheng followed her to say hello.
Afterwards, Gu Wangshu looked at Chen Zui and said without hesitation: "This must be Lord Chen, right? This little girl is being polite."
"No courtesy." Chen Zui raised his hand in salute, his eyes moving on her body.
When Helian Jue heard about Gu Wangshu, he became very interested in Gu Wangshu who could come up with the idea of using duck down to make winter clothes and using criminal silver to solve the treasury problem.
This was the first time in his life that he had heard of such a smart woman.
Now they finally met, and the appearance of the other party was beyond Chen's expectations.
In his imagination, since Gu Wangshu is Yun Musheng's cousin, her appearance should be as stunning as Yun Musheng's. Even if she is not as beautiful as Yun Musheng, she will not be far behind.
However, the fact is that Gu Wangshu and Yun Musheng stood together, as if they were not in the same dimension.
Gu Wangshu is not ugly, he is a beauty.
But Yun Musheng is the beauty among beauties, one of the most stunningly beautiful women at a glance.
Just looking at Yun Musheng is enough to shock her. If someone stands next to her, the other person will be immediately beaten. This is why Chen Zui had a calculating heart at the first sight of Yun Musheng.
Fortunately, Gu Wangshu's cool temperament was very cool, which added a lot to her appearance.
After the two sides looked at each other, Gu Wangshu and Yun Musheng sat down one after another.
Qiuchi hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea for the two of them.
The fragrance of tea lingered between the four people.
Chen most calmly picked up the tea cup and drank tea.
Gu Chengfeng was the first to break the silence.
"It is not my original intention to invite the Marquis to our mansion today," he said.
After hearing this, Chen smiled lightly and slowly put down the teacup: "I know."
Gu Chengfeng was stunned, doubts rising from the bottom of his heart. How did he know?
Speaking of which, he was not familiar with Chen Zui.
From the day Chen Zui won the top prize to the day he returned to Yong'an, it took less than six months in total.
Chen Zui has been away from home for nearly four months. Calculated this way, he has only been in court for more than two months.
One is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the other is the new top scholar who has just entered the court.
The identities of the two are too different, and they have little intersection on weekdays.
At the next court today, Gu Chengfeng took the initiative to invite Chen Zui, and Chen Zui agreed without asking anything.
Chen Zui looked at Gu Wangshu: "It should be that Miss Gu wants to see me, so she asked Gu Shangshu to invite me here."
After just one meeting, Gu Wangshu had an intuitive understanding of Chen Zui's intelligence.
Facing smart people, Gu Wangshu would feel faintly excited.
She took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and said calmly: "Master Hou, are you so sure?"
Chen Zui saw appreciation in Gu Wangshu's eyes.
"If I hadn't heard about Miss Gu before, I couldn't be sure. But after learning about Miss Gu from His Majesty, I can be sure."
Gu Wangshu smiled: "Then you might as well guess again, what is the purpose of me inviting you here?"
Chen Zui raised his eyebrows. She was testing his judgment. This woman was really interesting.
"I can learn about Miss Gu from His Majesty, and Miss Gu can naturally learn about me from Minister Gu."
Gu Wangshu silently agreed with Chen Zuizhi's words.
It seemed that he was right about this.
"Miss Gu must care about her family very much, right?" Chen Zui said again, and his words touched Gu Wangshu's heart.
More than caring, her family is her life.
"What Miss Gu did seemed to be for the country and the people, but in fact it was to keep the Gu family safe."
This sentence hit Gu Wangshu's heart.
She worked hard for Helianguo, just for the stability of the Gu family; if something happened to Helianguo, the Gu family would not be able to survive.
"Since we want to keep the Gu family safe, we must first put the interests of the Helian Kingdom first. Helian is surrounded by enemies, and there are many difficulties to be solved, which cannot be dealt with by Miss Gu alone, so..."
Speaking of this, a playful smile appeared on Chen's lips.
"Miss Gu wants to find a partner who can plan a great cause with you. I must have caught Miss Gu's eyes."
His words were polite and well-founded, which convinced Gu Wangshu.
"Yes." She admitted frankly.
"It's a great honor for me."
"Then can the Marquis discuss the plan with me?"
Chen Zui was playing with the teacup with a leisurely expression and his eyes were as deep as a deep spring.
"can."
Gu Wangshu's face was about to light up when he heard Chen Zui say:
"I wonder what Miss Gu thinks of the development of the world situation?"
Gu Wangshu understood.
She had tested him just now, and now it was his turn to test her.
Only if she answers, will he choose to cooperate with her with confidence.
