Early the next morning, Gu Wanyan made a small calculation in her heart - she neither went to the kitchen too early to avoid an embarrassing collision with Gu Mo, nor did she ask the sixth lady Gu Huan, who slept until three poles in the sun, to get up early, in case she would hold another grudge.

During breakfast, the old man really lost his temper because of Gu Huan's delay. After a while, Gu Huan appeared with a sleepy-eyed face, and was said a few words by the master, and the family sat down together.

This time, it was the lady instead of the master who opened her mouth at the dinner table first: "Mo'er, can this trip to Gaul be postponed a little?"

Gu Mo paused for a moment and asked calmly, "Why?"

Madam smiled, looked at the master, and then turned to Gu Mo and said to him: "I have already discussed with your father, I want to pick a day for you to marry Wanyan, do you think it's okay?"

Gu Yan and Gu Zhang were very surprised when they heard this, they stopped their chopsticks and looked at Gu Mo with their eyes. Gu Huan raised his head suddenly after hearing this, and looked at Gu Wanyan with a different kind of gaze.

Gu Wanyan sat calmly with her chopsticks on her shoulders, silent, and listened to her lady speak.

"Hmm. The old man nodded, not looking like a joke, "Wanyan is not the Gu family's biological child, but in the years of my old Gu family, her personality and ability are also obvious, so it is also a beautiful thing to let Wanyan be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family." ”

If Gu Wanyan and Gu Ran are married, the lord will have a hundred reasons to support, but if Gu Wanyan and Gu Mo are married-the eldest son of the Gu family has not yet married a wife, and the second son will marry, then in the next generation, Gu Mo may be a husband, if he is a man, he will become the second eldest son of the Gu Mansion instead of the eldest of the next generation, and I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble in the Gu Mansion in the future, and the master is afraid that he will not agree. So the lady spent a lot of time last night, explaining all the benefits of Gu Wanyan and Gu Mo's marriage, and then persuaded the master to agree to the marriage.

Gu Mo had been silent, he thought about it for a while, he didn't even look at Gu Wanyan, and said lightly: "Dad, mother, this matter is inevitably too sudden-so, let's wait for me to come back from Gaul to discuss this matter, everything is ready, and now suddenly change the itinerary, I'm afraid it's not too good." ”

Gu Mo was actually unwilling in his heart. He thinks he still needs some experience, and he doesn't want to start a family too soon. And the most important thing is that he is ruthless to Gu Wanyan.

But the words of the matchmaker and the order of the parents are a matter of course, and if you refuse directly, I am afraid it will be too unfilial. So he thought, put this aside in advance, and come back to talk about it in the future, maybe his father's mind will change.

Gu Wanyan listened to Gu Mo's words, and she was actually quite happy in her heart. In fact, if she had to choose, she didn't want to marry anyone, and as soon as Gu Mo's words came out, she fulfilled her wish.

"Master, madam, what the second brother said is reasonable, we still have to focus on the overall situation, handle important things well, and it's not too late to talk about other things. Gu Wanyan's tone was steady, without any displeasure, and naturally accepted Gu Mo's words.

When the words fell, Gu Mo glanced at her lightly, but in an instant, his gaze was gone.

Madame sighed lightly and took Gu Wanyan's hand: "Wanyan is seventeen years old this year, and the girl's family can't afford to delay." ”

Gu Wanyan smiled: "Anyway, Wanyan is in the Gu Mansion, and getting married is just a ceremony, so there's no hurry." ”

Gu Mo silently thought in his heart, not sure. I don't know what my mother thinks-you know, what my mother wants to do is always inevitable, and she has to do everything she can to achieve her goal; I don't know what Gu Wanyan thinks--this girl who is not very familiar with her, is she willing or unwilling to do this?

The old man thought for a moment and said, "Well, that makes sense. Mo'er still left for Gaul today, and he will come back as soon as the matter is over. ”

After a pause, the old man looked at Gu Wanyan and added: "Wanyan and Huan'er are the same age, and seventeen is not young." Huan'er already has a marriage contract, and Wanyan really can't delay it any longer. ”

Gu Huan pursed his lips disapprovingly when he heard this, as if he was not happy that Gu Wanyan would be compared to him.

At this point in the conversation, Gu Mo still set off with the convoy to Gaul.

In the next five months, Gu Wanyan took over the internal affairs of the Gu Mansion as the second wife. These things were originally handled by Mrs. herself, but one day this burden will fall on her daughter-in-law, so let Gu Wanyan take over first.

If Gu Wanyan marries Gu Ran, then she has to go to the store to work for a while before she can slowly hand over the affairs of the Gu Mansion to her in the future; now that she is the second wife, it is also beneficial, and Gu Wanyan can directly take over the affairs of the house. Madame thought so.

When Gu Wanyan and Gu Mo officially became relatives, everything was in Madame's plan......

Just like that time, Xu Dong also left Dongcheng soon after, and learned the news that Gu Wanyan was going to get married, he didn't say much, only congratulated.

=========================================================

Five months later, Gu Mo returned to Dongcheng.

Gu Mo and his entourage in Gaul did a very good job this time. The Gallic State signed a contract with the Gu Jewels on behalf of the Loulan Kingdom, allowing the Gallic Jewels to enter the Gallic Kingdom to open branches and buy and sell the jewels, and the minister in charge of this matter conveyed the intention of the Gallic monarch to promise to make a regular transaction with the Gallic Jewels every year for the next five years.

The development of this new overseas market is of great significance to Gu Fu and Loulan Kingdom.

As soon as Gu Mo returned to Dongcheng, he was announced by the king to enter the palace and set up a banquet to reward him.

Gu Mo is just a businessman, not a courtier in the palace, and this move to respect the king is even to give the Gu Mansion a face.

The old lady was even more satisfied with this, and she was proud to see everyone when she went out. Everyone knows that this second son of the Gu family has given the Gu family face again.

The next morning, Mrs. held the yellow calendar in one hand and waited for Gu Mo to greet her.

Gu Mo freshened up early in the morning, he was neat and neat in an ink robe, and he also looked handsome and extraordinary. He was rarely in the house, and every time he returned, walking in the cloister, walking on the road, the maids couldn't help but blushing and secretly taking a few more looks, but they couldn't see enough.

It's just that his whole person reveals three points of indifference from his bones, giving people an indescribable sense of alienation.

You can only watch from a distance, not play with it.

"Mother," Gu Mo knew that the master went to the factory today, and there was only the lady in the room, so he knocked on the door and pushed the door in, "The son has come to greet his mother." ”

Gu Mo was polite, but there was less warmth between mother and son, and more deliberate distancing and politeness.

When Mrs. saw Gu Mo, she smiled for a long time: "Okay, good boy, you come to talk to your mother." ”

Gu Mo smiled lightly and walked to the chair beside his wife and sat down.

Madame seemed to flip through the yellow calendar casually and said, "Mo'er, this time, do you remember what your father and mother told you before you left?"

Of course, Gu Mo knew what Madame was referring to. He had already expected in his heart that since his mother had this idea, he would not let go easily. He said bluntly: "Don't hide it from my mother, my son thinks that this matter is still too hasty, and he should think twice about marriage matters." ”

Madame knew that Gu Mo had always been assertive, so she was not too displeased: "Mo'er thinks your sixth sister is not good?"

Gu Mo was stunned. Gu Wanyan is good or not, how can he know? In the past few years, he has not had much contact, and the Gu Wanyan in his impression is just a little girl with a faint smile all day long, and the old lady says that she is sensible and capable.

"That's not what I mean. Although he thought so, Gu Mo still shook his head.

"Is that Mo'er dissatisfied?" Gu Mo pursed his lips and said bluntly: "My son thinks that my mother loves the sixth sister so much, so she shouldn't hastily marry the sixth sister to her son." If they become husband and wife, but the two have no feelings, such a marriage is nothing for the son, a seven-foot man, but for the sixth sister, I am afraid that she will be locked in an invisible cage in the future. ”

When the lady heard this, she immediately turned cold, and slammed a thick yellow calendar on the table: "Mo'er, you have made a lot of contributions to the Gu family, but you can't forget your identity because of this." You, after all, are still the son of your mother, and you are the second son of Gu Fu. ”

Gu Mo's face did not change, and he felt that there was no need to talk to her in a secretive manner anymore - after all, in this mansion, probably only he knew how ruthless his mother was.

Gu Mo was only eight years old that year, and he was still an innocent child, he was just secretly playing in the grass in the backyard, and he accidentally heard how his mother confessed to others to poison Erniang, that is, his sister Gu Huan's biological mother, with chronic poison.

Since then, a deep shadow has been cast in his heart, and no matter what, there is a deep groove between him and his mother.

When he was ten years old, he was the only one who witnessed his mother deliberately design and slander the five-year-old Gu Huan for stealing the agate necklace in his jewelry box, causing Gu Huan to be punished by his father for three days. Gu Huan's character also began to go to the other extreme.

On that occasion, when his wife knew that he had learned all the truth, she warned him to die for the sake of his brother and mother and not to tell him what he knew. Ten-year-old Gu Mo seemed to realize the nature of the matter, so he agreed. It's just that in the face of the invisible struggle in this house, he seems to have grown up a few years overnight.

"Mother. Gu Mo was unhurried, "You don't have to turn around with me, what purpose do you have, just say it." ”

Madame was stunned for a moment, some pictures of the past came to her mind, she was very embarrassed for a while, she was silent for a while and said: "Mo'er, don't hate your mother, everything your mother did in the past was for the sake ......of your four brothers."

Gu Mo didn't speak.

Seeing Gu Mo's attitude, Madam also opened the skylight and said something bright, no matter what Gu Mo thought of herself, at least, he was his own son, and he would never do anything to hurt himself: "Mo'er, you must marry Wanyan." ”

Gu Mo said quietly: "Why?"

Madame gritted her teeth: "I need Wanyan to stay in the Gu Mansion." ”

Gu Mo chuckled, not planning to continue to ask: "Okay, you have your own purpose, in order to achieve your goal, you will do everything you can, and your son and younger generations can't stop it." I can obey your wishes, but if the sixth sister suffers what she suffers after getting married, don't blame me. ”

Madame's face was expressionless, and she suddenly didn't seem to be the loving mother who regarded Gu Wanyan as the pearl of her palm: "I know, no." ”

After that, Gu Mo got up and raised his feet and left.

He frowned and meditated, asking me to marry a woman I didn't love - whatever your purpose, I could help you with this move. But if you force me to pay attention to a woman I don't love, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to do it, Mother, you can do everything for yourself in the future.

=============================================

The wedding date is set for the first day of August.

Gu Wanyan once again sat in front of the dresser in a fiery red wedding dress, and the makeup artist put on her makeup, feeling like she had mixed feelings.

After finishing the makeup, she opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror, and her heart was already numb.

You know, happiness is a comparative level.

Before she died once, she still had fantasies about love, and felt that a woman's life with the person she loved was complete happiness.

But when she died once, she felt that nothing was more important than saving her life. She no longer has extravagant hopes for marriage, no longer has extravagant dreams about her future husband - as long as her life is there, it will be safe and happy.

When the little maid was about to tie her belt, Gu Wanyan stopped her: "Hey, I'll just come by myself." ”

As she spoke, she took the belt and gently twisted it on her waist at will.

Several little maids were anxious, and they persuaded one after another: "Sixth Miss, the bride's wedding dress should be tightly tied up at the waist!"

Gu Wanyan just smiled and remained silent.

When the auspicious time came, she still covered her head as she did that time, was carried to the front yard, and then walked into the wedding hall with Gu Mo amid the applause of the guests.

Gu Mo's face was indifferent, as if he was a bystander in this matter, and it was very unpleasant.

Then, the two of them stiffened like puppets and worshipped heaven and earth.

During the whole process, Gu Wanyan was like a walking corpse, and there was no trace of feeling in her heart.

Unlike when she married Gu Ran, she still had a lot of longing and fantasy happiness in her heart at that time.

Then, Gu Wanyan was led to the new house to wait.

What she didn't expect was that she would cover her head like this and sleep on the head of the bed for a night.

After Gu Wanyan woke up in a daze in the morning, she slowly tore off her hijab, touched the wedding dress on her body, and smiled bitterly.

She realized that Gu Mo had never even come to the new house.

However, she didn't feel too much grievance and embarrassment in her heart, on the contrary, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Gu Mo didn't return on the wedding night, and he had already expressed his attitude to Gu Wanyan.

It's okay, doesn't Gu Wanyan have any illusions about this inexplicable marriage?

Both of them are ruthless to each other, and it is good for both of them to show their hearts earlier.

So that's it.

She is ready to meet the future life.

Isn't it just to be at peace with what happens?
