Text 177 Kneel down in the ancestral hall again

It was just a farce, but Guo Shun, who was soaked in the barracks, was so angry that he went home, and took the family law to whip the two of them in the ancestral hall. This is enough to show that Guo Shun raised Guo Shu as a son, and when he started, he fully embodied the principle that men and women are the same.

The day in July was still sultry, and the back that had been pumped was scorching, Guo Shu knelt on the seat, leaning on the cold pillar, hoping to get a trace of coolness, but unfortunately although the ancestral hall usually looked gloomy, it was not ambiguous at all when it was hot. Looking at the deserted tablets on it, and then thinking about the ancestral halls of those big families, I only feel ashamed, a hundred-year-old clan, the tablets can be counted on one finger, and it is really embarrassing. After thinking about it, I had to confess to my ancestors, took out a purse that had been embroidered more than half of it from his arms, and continued to embroider.

Guo Yuan was bored, and saw that Guo Shu actually began to embroider purses, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"You're actually embroidering purses? You're not ashamed of your embroiderer who can't even tell the difference between a mandarin duck and a duck. ”

Guo Yuan laughed mercilessly but did not stimulate Guo Shu, Guo Shu turned a deaf ear, but his hand did not fall, the flying needle flipped over, the purse was light cyan, but the thread used was pale green and silver, and there was a little light blue line, and there were different shades of several colors. Embroidered, at a glance it looks like a vegan purse, you have to look closely to see the delicate and very patterned. The green peach forest is hidden by a snare drum, and the warmth and solemnity are intertwined, with an indescribable charm.

After Guo Yuan saw it clearly, he was shocked and said: "Your female worker is so good! Then you pretended that you couldn't before." ”

Guo Shu raised his eyes and looked at him, his watery eyes were full of hypocritical innocence, and Guo Yuan was suffocated back from his words, but he didn't speak, and it was really uncomfortable, so he said: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Xu will rush back at the latest Zhongyuan Festival, do you want to give it to him at that time?"

"No, I have to give the people of King Xu's Mansion these two days to let them take them to Qiantang, and he said to give it to him before the Qiqiao Festival. ”

β€œ......”

Guo Yuan was silent for a long time, "When did you become so obedient?"

Guo Shu took a moment to do the work in his hands, then moved the mat and found a place where the candles were lit, and the work on his hands was a little faster.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, Guo Shu's hand not only did not slow down, but became a little faster, the original foundation had been laid, but it was just to fill in the details, and gradually a purse became a shape.

Guo Yuan was originally not interested, but he was really bored, so he could only stare at Guo Shu, and after watching for a long time, he gradually saw a little bit of the doorway. Guo Shu's hands flying up and down are skillful, and the technique also reflects a bit of mystical taste, and the strength and accuracy are not different, reflecting a kind of beauty to the bone.

Another hour, Guo Shu finally dropped the last stitch, and a beautiful purse appeared in Guo Shu's hand.

Guo Yuan looked at it for a long time, and finally saw something. "Your technique is like a hidden weapon, but it is a bit unique, it's a pity to use it for embroidery, but such an embroidery work, to be a little stronger than those embroidery girls, after all, embroidery girls don't have your skills. ”

Guo Shu raised his eyebrows, quite proud: "That's nature." Just in an instant, Guo Shu's face fell.

"Fourth brother, you said that if you and your fiancΓ©e suddenly have a family feud, is it still possible between you and him?"

"Family feud?" Guo Yuan was puzzled, "Impossible, my marriage is naturally decided by my father's eldest brother and sister-in-law, and it is natural to marry the daughter of which family, if there is really an enmity with our family, my father will not consider it, unless it is a marriage given by His Majesty...... But why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

β€œ...... It's nothing. ”

Guo Yuan is a little confused, but he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is the most delicate of the Guo family's generation, as a son, he has been favored since he was a child, needless to say, the Guo family's title is not his turn, and he doesn't want to have the same lofty ideal as his second brother, hoping that with his military merits, he can one day get a title for himself and come back. He doesn't want his third brother to be as brilliant as he is, he has a smart, sophisticated and transparent heart, and he can mix like a fish in water in the civil officialdom.

He also understands that he will most likely take over part of the property in the end, or keep the ancestral home, or go to another place to take root and preserve the bloodline for the family. And these don't need him to calculate anything, and he doesn't need to take into account the rights and wrongs in the capital that can never be cleared. As a noble son of a prosperous family, a famous gentleman, there are some things and some bottom lines, and you must know it in your heart.

"Father said that you were born destined to be a queen, this is the promise of Your Majesty back then, since it was impossible for Your Majesty to abolish your own princess, this marriage contract naturally fell on your head, but no one expected you to be born so late...... What kind of feud can our family have with His Majesty, if you really want to talk about it, you still have to call your aunt Xian Fei Niangniang, of course, over the years, Xian Fei Niangniang has really not been kind, but after all, it is not a hatred, you had better not go to your heart. ”

Guo Shu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Just because I didn't say it...... But brother, do you really think I have the destiny to be a queen?"

Guo Yuan froze, "That...... Do you think what we see today is true or false?"

Hehe...... You can't help but turn this topic too bluntly!

β€œ...... Really, the patina on it looks like a hundred-year-old thing, it is very likely that our great-ancestor gave it out, our family Chen Ling only gave a total of four pieces out, and three pieces also know the source, only one piece was given to the great-ancestor's life-saving benefactor, and then I couldn't find it, this piece is estimated to be that piece, the time is too long, it is estimated that even my father has to check it carefully. ”

Guo Yuan nodded when he heard this, "You know more about our family's affairs than I do, if it's like what you said, no matter who he is, I'm afraid our family can't ignore it, they are lucky, I'm afraid even they don't know the use of that brand." After speaking, Guo Yuan smiled proudly.

Guo Shuzhi felt that Guo Yuan should think about how to deal with the peach blossom debt he had just caused instead of thinking about how to give rewards to others. If you want to talk about appearance, the appearance of the Guo family can be said to be the top in the capital, and the father who can give birth to the first beauty will naturally not be bad, giving birth to six of their brothers and sisters, not to mention the handsome appearance, and the style is not the same. In addition, the backyard is clean, there are not so many concubines, and there is no mother-in-law who is pressing, so several men from the Guo family are the most popular husbands in Beijing.

It's hard to say if that Miss Cheng really falls in love with Guo Yuan, although there is only one side, but Guo Shu feels that this Miss Cheng's temperament and Guo Yuan should be regarded as having the same smell. So Guo Shu plans to go with the flow, and he doesn't want to beat the mandarin ducks, as long as both parties are willing, there is nothing bad about this marriage.

But I don't know why, Guo Shu always felt that something was wrong with the girl with Jun Chen Ling, not that there was a hidden arrogance in her, but an inexplicable sense of familiarity and contempt, where did this sense of superiority come from?

Thinking about it, although I was distracted, the last few stitches of this purse still fell without any mistakes. As for spices, Guo Shu is a Chinese expert, and when he was in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he also touched Xiao Hengyan's preferences, so Guo Shu was ready to put the mosquito repellent incense he was carrying on his body, which not only prevented mosquitoes, but also smelled a cool and refreshing smell. This is the incense that Master spent two years concocting for Guo Shu's mosquito physique, Guo Shu has used it for so many years, and she is used to it, and sending her own incense out is also her mind, although it is an inconspicuous detail, but it is also a very romantic thing to think about.

It is said that the fire in July, just into July, the heat in the south has not diminished at all, even if it is a shady ancestral hall, it is gradually heating up in the afternoon, just now Qian also secretly sent two bowls of mung bean soup to relieve the heat, although it was sent by Qian, but without Guo Shun's permission, she could not send it in. Seeing that the father's anger was almost gone, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and thought about today's incident.

It is estimated that the marriage will not be yellow, but the candidates may change, which can be regarded as indirectly achieving the goal. Thinking of this, Guo Shu felt that this day was getting smoother and smoother.

After all, the father still feels sorry for his children, although he smoked the two of them and punished them for kneeling in the ancestral hall for three hours, but after all, he still took care of the follow-up for them. In the end, he gave a gift to make amends, and after this incident, Hou Ye Cheng felt that this family business was not very reliable, and he didn't mention it. Although the Qian family also wants to be a good marriage, it can be seen that the brothers and sisters are doing their best to quit this family business, and it is not easy to force their heads, and this matter has passed like this.

But the turning point happened on the night of the Qiqiao Festival, Guo Shu, Guo Yuan and Qian's Yun, plus Guo Zhen went to the street to play together, but happened to meet the Miss Cheng who unfortunately fell into the water. Guo Yuan didn't want to jump in to save people, but when he rescued him, he found out that it was an old acquaintance, and he immediately regretted it. But the grace of saving lives is difficult to repay, as soon as the marquis of Cheng summed up, he felt that the two of them had a deep fate, so he came to the door to discuss, and asked Guo Yuan, who was also willing, so on the second day, Guo Shun took Guo Yuan to the Dunsu Marquis Mansion to give a dowry, and the matter was completely settled. However, because Guo Cai had not yet decided on a marriage, and that Miss Cheng had only just passed the ceremony, the two families were not in a hurry, so they agreed to wait for Guo Cai to finish the marriage after the engagement.

Guo Yuan was stunned by a series of things, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, half of the six rituals had been completed, and he was about to greet his relatives. Suddenly became bitter and frowned, Guo Shu saw that he was depressed, so he stuffed Cheng Junwan's letter to him, and the letter bluntly said the whole process of falling into the water, and said that she asked for this family affair from Marquis Cheng, and told her heartfelt feelings, which made Guo Yuan appreciate this frank and intelligent Miss Cheng a little.

After all, it is uncomfortable for anyone to be let go of this matter by calculation, and no one is a fool. However, Guo Yuan calculated her, but she was able to quickly push the boat down the river to achieve her goal, the means were neat, and she was able to touch Guo Yuan's temper, generously admit her mistakes, and be honest with each other, but gave her extra points. After all, her mother just wanted her to marry the Guo family, and it didn't matter who it was. After that incident, she knew that even if she got married, it would be difficult to grasp Guo Cai's heart, so instead of doing this, she would simply change people. To be honest, Guo Shu really admires this Miss Cheng's vision and courage, and she is decisive and resolute enough. As long as she doesn't think about anything, such a person is definitely a guarantee for a family to prosper for several generations.

After thinking about it for a long time, Guo Yuan still replied to a letter, although he felt aggrieved, but he also knew that the nobles were married, like Guo Shun and Xu, ignoring class, after all, there were few people who loved each other, how could there be so many who just liked it? Plus he really didn't hate her, why not? Thinking of this, he was also happy, and he no longer bothered, concentrating on dealing with the upcoming Midyear Festival.
