Chapter 53 There is a betrothal partner
As soon as these words came out, not only did the second lady stay on the spot, but the people in the room seemed to listen to the shocking words, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, and make a sound.
The second lady opened her mouth and finally spoke: "Little five...... What's wrong with you, how do you say such a thing?"
Gu Zhirong's expression was calm, of course she wouldn't have dared to say such a thing, "Second sister, have you forgotten the changes in the fashion of the capital over the years......?
"New Life Garden......" The second lady thought silently, frowning and looking at Gu Zhirong, "Little Wu, you must know that the old lady said that the New Life Garden is against the etiquette and teachings and cannot be approached......"
Xinshengyuan is a group that has risen in the Jokhang Kingdom in recent years, initiated from Dali, focusing on innovative women's new ideas, for example, the heroine can also be enrolled in the hall like men, can be engaged in teaching, business, workshops and other livelihoods, and can even enter the court as an official, can marry freely, and the degree of openness advocated is no less than that of the Tang Dynasty.
But for the corrupt conservatives of the dynasty, the woman's appearance was immoral and strongly opposed. Even so, it also blocked the rise of this trend, and as more and more people accepted and recognized by the people, when the court was under pressure, in order to facilitate the maintenance and management, and not to cause chaos, it specially set up officials in the court about this aspect, and from time to time put some folk customs to the emperor to ease the conflict between the old and new ideas. Now the most famous official in this area is called Shi Stone, a native of Dali, who is quite respected by the emperor.
However, such an atmosphere is incompatible with those upper classes in the capital. Therefore, the old lady was very opposed to it, and the people in the house were not allowed to imitate it.
Therefore, when Gu Zhirong said it this time, a room including the second lady had such a strong reaction.
Gu Zhirong smiled, who can stop the wheel of change of the times? The trend of the times, the women who are confined to the gate of the mansion will eventually defend themselves for their marriage.
She stared at the second lady quietly: "Second sister, although it is said that the major events of your life are all on your parents, but if your father and mother marry you with a person that you hate very much at first sight, or for the exchange of family interests, you have to wronged yourself to marry those who lack arms and short legs, or a room of concubines and aunts, and give birth to concubines and concubines in advance, can you bear this breath?"
The second miss was shocked inexplicably, she didn't think about these things, seeing that her sibling sister, that is, Miss Gu, was so unhappy to marry, she had doubts about this kind of marriage arranged by her parents. Gu Zhirong's words really spoke to her heart.
However, she is the second lady of Gu Mansion, ranking among the top ten celebrities in the capital, coupled with the concepts formed by the teachings of those mothers in Gu Mansion for many years, she can only think about such thoughts in her heart. Unexpectedly, the inconspicuous fifth sister in front of her actually said it casually, and she was speechless, she was really envious and a little jealous of this.
"I'm different from you. The second lady struggled, "Maybe I, as a sister, shouldn't say such a thing, but that's the case, your fifth parent died, there are no parents, and there is no life from your parents, even if the old lady will be your master in the future, but after all, it is an ancestor and grandson, separated by a layer..."
What the second lady hasn't said yet: Your parents are not there, and your mother is on her deathbed, entrusting the old lady with the Wanguan family wealth in your third room, even if the old lady doesn't think about the others, for the sake of the Wanguan family wealth in this trusteeship, she will discuss it with your little five.
Of course, Gu Zhirong understood the second lady's thoughts, she smiled and said: "Second sister, I am in charge of my marriage, I am responsible for myself, I want to find someone who will be devoted to me all my life and will never abandon me. Don't care about small things, discuss big things together, and most importantly, you must promise me that you can't block me with a room of concubines and aunts, so it's enough. ”
The second lady and the cuihuan she brought were once again shocked and speechless. In comparison, Cai Qing and others are much calmer. After all, I don't know how many times my own lady has said this, they have listened to it a lot, and gradually they still like their own young lady's thoughts, and they think that they will do what the young lady says in the future.
Gu Zhirong looked at the second lady and said sincerely: "Second sister, I know that although you treat me to me on weekdays, you still care about sisterhood, and you still help me when you are outside." Therefore, Second Sister, what I said today is from the bottom of my heart, and I have no intention of deceiving and making fun of Second Miss. As for the crown prince......"
Speaking of this, she smiled: "To be honest, second sister, I have no interest in that arrogant and domineering prince at all, so I won't marry him." Because, I have someone I like. ”
"Do you have someone you like?" The second young lady glared at Gu Zhirong, her jaw almost dropped, "Little five, ...... you?"
She paused and took a deep breath: "It's King Su, right?"
The fact seems to be the same, just last night, the fifth sister in front of me was sent back by the king of Su. What's more, at the banquet in Princess Zhaomin's mansion last time, the fifth sister thought about handing a love letter to King Su.
King Su is also good.
Somehow, the second lady actually breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, no one will rob her of the crown prince.
Gu Zhirong shook his head: "It's not him." ”
The second lady was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly changed, and she said sharply: "Xiao Wu, you actually date a man from a foreign country without permission......"
Gu Zhirong smiled: "Second sister, don't be nervous first, a man from the Waifu is naturally a man from the Waifu, but for me, he is not an outsider, after all, I have a marriage contract with him." ”
"Is there a marriage contract?" The second lady's eyes widened again, "Little Wu, you don't talk nonsense, you are a girl who has not reached the end of the year, how can you have a marriage contract?"
Gu Zhirongwu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "Second sister said and laughed, although I haven't reached the end of the year, why can't I have a marriage contract? I have parents anyway, okay? When my mother passed away, she set a family affair for me." The old lady must know about this. ”
The second lady was shocked. She didn't expect that there were still things in this house that she didn't know, this little five had a marriage contract......
"That person, which house is it?" asked Miss Gu Er. After all, it is about the reputation of the Yuanning Hou Mansion, even if she doesn't care about this little five, she still has to take care of the reputation of the Yuanning Hou Mansion.
Gu Zhirong said with a smile: "Say it and let my sister laugh, my mother set it before her death to be the son of Lu Mansion." ”
"Lu Mansion?" There are not many officials surnamed Lu in Kyoto, and the second lady guessed it at once, "Is it the son of the Hou Lu Zhen Mansion in Ning'an?"
Thinking that this little five is also the concubine of the third room, of course the other party who is married cannot be the concubine born by the aunt, so he added: "The eldest son of Lufu?"
