Chapter 173 Chen Yan Fights for Favor
Chapter 173 Chen Yan Fights for Favor
After spending a few nights with the two brothers, Gu Yao felt that they were pretty good, at least much better than Lin Liulang.
She has seen through Lin Liulang clearly and will never let him come back again.
It was already good enough that he could come back to see the Gu Ning brothers when they got married. After all, his heart had been bewildered, and if he came back, it would probably not end well for their family.
She couldn't leave someone with a bad heart at home. He already hated them, and maybe he would send them all away with a pack of medicine.
Chen Yan and the others felt a little jealous when they saw Gu Yao suddenly being so nice to the two brothers of the Tang family.
They are all servants. Now Chen Yan has given birth to a daughter, but because she usually stays in the yard, she has no sense of presence.
Gu Yao rarely visited him, mostly to see her daughter.
But Chen Yan was also content. After all, he had a daughter, and his share was also generous.
What's more, his mother's family is gradually getting back on their feet and sometimes they would send him some things, so he really doesn't lack money.
After all, Gu Yao is still his wife. He was really jealous when he saw his wife looking at other men.
However, he only dared to be jealous in his heart and didn't dare to say anything on the surface. Most of his words were sour.
He didn't dare to do too much, after all, he knew what happened to Lin Liulang.
He was scared when he thought that he would be like Lin Liulang, but he was different from Lin Liulang. After all, he was the second husband and he was just a servant.
So for the sake of his daughter he had to endure it, but when he looked at his daughter he thought that he was still vying for favor,
Even his servants said: "Sir, we should still compete for favor. We can't do this for the young lady. After all, you are still young. Maybe you can get pregnant again if you compete for favor. Don't you want to give the young lady another companion?"
After listening to Bai Xiang's words, he thought for a while and said, "But I'm not good-looking, and I'm boring. Will my wife like me?"
"My lady will definitely like it, otherwise how would you come out? Life will be very difficult if you don't compete for favor in the backyard. You are still so young, don't you want to have a better relationship with my lady?"
Although it is possible to survive in the Gu Mansion without favor, it is too hard to endure.
And there is still a difference between being favored and not being favored. After all, the allowance is good, but some things are not certain, and sometimes the servants will not be too enthusiastic.
: Sir, you have to think about the young lady. She will get married in the future. If she is not favored, her husband will be upset. No matter what, you have to think about the young lady's future. "
Chen Yan listened to Bai Xiang's words and thought to herself that he really did want to consider his daughter.
In the past, he really didn't know how to fight. After all, he was the son of a good family and didn't want to do anything shameful.
He felt that Bai Xiang was right. His daughter was also growing up. If he no longer had a sense of existence, how would his daughter live?
Although there is a doctor in charge and his wife is also in charge, if he is not favored, his daughter probably won't be respected in the mansion.
Although his mother's family is poor, after so many years in the Gu family, he has gained some experience and participated in some banquets.
Some families also have his close friends and know that if their daughter wants to have dignity and a sense of presence in the family, the relationship with her biological father is very important.
He didn't want to embarrass his daughter, but he also wanted to save face for her.
So he saved up all his share, but he still felt it was not enough.
Especially after seeing how favored the two brothers of the Tang family were, all the good things were sent to their courtyards, he was also very jealous.
Then Chen Yan perked up and looked at Bai Xiang and said, "Bai Xiang, you are right. I can't just sit there and wait for death. Besides, I am the first servant of the Gu family, but I was ranked behind. Although I have a daughter, she still has little presence among so many children. I have to make plans for my daughter early."
Bai Xiang was very happy when she heard this and said with a smile: "Sir, you are right to think so. Our lady is also my biological daughter. Why should she be worse than anyone else? As long as you are favored, our lady will also have face."
Chen Yan smiled gently. He was not bad looking and he was an educated man, so he naturally had a scholarly air.
What's more, he could embroider. Then he thought about giving Gu Yao more clothes and purses. If she wore them like this, Gu Yao would know him.
Lin Wulang doesn't care about the competition for favor in the backyard, as long as there is no intrigue.
After all, he knew that there were so many men in the Gu family, and if he didn't fight, how could he win the love of his wife?
Gu Yao was working that day when she received a purse from Gu Xiaoshu. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Who sent this? Could it be you?"
Gu Xiaoshu waved his hands and said with a smile: "My lady, please don't talk nonsense. I can't sew. This was sent by Bai Xianggong on behalf of Chen Xiaoshi. He said that Chen Xiaoshi made it herself."
When Gu Yao heard that it was sent by Chen Yan, she took the purse, looked at the stitches on it and said with a smile: "Not bad, in that case, I will take this purse tomorrow."
Gu Xiaoshu saw that she accepted it and told Bai Xiang what she had said. Bai Xiang thanked him immediately, "Thank you, Madam Xiaoshu. Our Master is very happy that you accepted the purse. I will tell him right away."
Then he took out a purse and put it in Gu Xiaoshu's hand: "Mr. Xiaoshu, please accept this little gift. Thank you for helping me pass on the message."
Gu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "No need to thank me, just go back now, this purse lady said she will bring it tomorrow."
I was happy to hear Gu Yao accept the purse and say that she would take it with her tomorrow.
"Bai Xiang, that's great. My wife is still willing to give me face. It turns out that what you said at that time was right. I will make more clothes for my wife in the future. I only know how to embroider. I hope my wife will not despise it."
"Sir, don't worry. Your cooking skills are so good, how could my lady dislike it? I heard from Miss Xiaoshu that my lady likes it very much."
Chen Yan was very satisfied with her embroidery work. After all, her father had hired someone to teach her very well.
He even used to make money by embroidering when his family was poor, but now he can use this skill to please his wife.
Everyone in the backyard knew that Chen Yan was making clothes and purses for Gu Yao, and Gu Yao even wore them and carried them on her body to make others jealous.
However, Gu Yao did think that Chen Yan's embroidery skills were pretty good, and she even came to spend two nights at his place.
After hearing this, Tang Erlang hurried to Tang Dalang's room and said anxiously: "Brother, do you think Chen is trying to forcibly seize the favor of the wife?"
Tang Erlang had to be anxious. After all, they were not pregnant yet, and Chen Yan already had a daughter who was several years old. Why should she compete with them for her?
Tang Dalang didn't care: "Why are you so anxious? He is also the wife's man, isn't it normal for him to compete for favor?"
