Chapter 54: Enlistment
Gu Zhirong nodded.
A girl's family, when talking about her future husband, she was not a little shy, but open-minded, which made the second lady look envious and admired.
When will I be able to be like this little five in front of me, have commendable courage, and calmly talk about my future husband in front of others?
In this regard, she herself did not dare to think about it. After all, she is a model for the ladies of the capital, how can she do such a thing?
At this time, the second lady realized the purpose of her coming. Obviously, her conversation with Gu Xiaowu just now took the topic away. So, she looked down and said coldly, "What are you telling me about this?"
Gu Zhirong looked at her and said, "Second sister, the reason why I said such things to you is because I believe in you and believe that you are a frank gentleman. One reassures your heart, after all, I have no intention of ...... the prince"
The second lady's face turned red.
Gu Zhirong didn't mean to ridicule her in the slightest, and immediately continued: "These two, I have a reluctant request, I want to ask my sister for help." ”
"Please let me help?" the second lady looked at Gu Zhirong suspiciously, "What can I help?"
"Make it easy for me, and, if necessary, cover it up for me. Gu Zhirong looked at her, his eyes were clear, "Because, I'm going to meet Gongzi Lu." ”
"You ......" The second lady gasped, this Gu Xiaowu is really bolder and more reckless.
"Sister, will you agree to me?" Gu Zhirong looked at the second miss, "Second sister, Gongzi Lu is my future husband, we will get married sooner or later, I met him, there is no violation of etiquette, right? I think that since he is the person who is destined to live with me in the future, then, why not get to know him in advance, understand each other's preferences, and understand each other's temperament? In short, I don't want to follow the path of the eldest sister, nor do I want to follow the path of the seventh sister, both sisters, will you help me, right?"
The second young lady looked at her in a daze, speechless. She is a dignified second lady of the Yuanning Hou Mansion, a model of ladies in the capital, and she actually asked her to cover for her sister's private meeting with a man, which is ...... That's weird, isn't it?
"Second sister, if you help me this time, I will also pull the line for you and cover for the affairs between you and the prince in the future. Gu Zhirong smiled and tempted her.
The second lady was faintly moved.
In fact, the words of Gu Xiaowu in front of him seem to be correct. In her opinion, the eldest lady's marriage is unfortunate, no matter how much the old lady loves the eldest lady, but because of the interests of the family, she still married her to the amorous second son of the Changguo Mansion, and let her kneel in the old lady's courtyard for a day and a night, begging for a day and a night to no avail.
This incident made the second lady's heart completely cold. She finally understood that no matter how much the old lady loved herself, she was nothing more than using herself as a chess piece, a useful chess piece for the Yuanning Marquis Mansion. The fate of being a chess piece is to be controlled by others all your life. If there is any danger in the family, when you want to use marriage and your life's happiness to bear it, you must stand up and have no room for negotiation.
She is also a thoughtful and emotional person, and she hates to be a pawn in such an exchange of family interests.
In the Yuanning Hou Mansion, she has the best relationship with the eldest lady of her compatriots, and she is often full of longing for lifelong events in the future. At that time, they were carefree, and always fantasized that with the love of the old lady, as long as they were the sons and daughters of the mansion they liked, they would definitely be able to marry well and be worry-free for a lifetime.
However, the old lady's cold decision was like a basin of cold water poured on her head, waking her up from her own dreams.
Even if she is a concubine, even if she has thousands of favors from the Marquis of Yuanning, I am afraid that in the end, she is nothing.
Therefore, she worked so hard and diligently, just to become famous, to become a celebrity in the circle of official ladies in the capital, to attract those good families to come to the door to propose, and to reduce the chance of having an unhappy marriage.
Now, this Gu Xiaowu's words really moved her heart. What woman doesn't want to have a happy marriage, without a room of concubines and aunts to block herself, as long as her husband only sees herself, why do she have to work hard to prevent those demonic women from taking away her husband's heart, why are she afraid that those glamorous women will give birth to concubines earlier than herself? Why worry about her husband's favor and concubine and kill his wife, and his position as a wife will be pulled down......
As long as your husband is wholeheartedly good to himself and can only see himself in his eyes, then he is the happiest person in the world.
"Are you really sure that the eldest son of the Lu family will be good to you for the rest of his life?" The second young lady looked at Gu Zhirong and said, listening to her tone, she had already loosened a little.
Gu Zhirong shook his head: "I don't know, but marriage is tantamount to gambling, and I am willing to gamble." Besides, I haven't entered the door of the house yet, have I? I met with him, and got to know him better, and if I didn't agree with my temperament, and knew that if I married him in the future, I would have quarreled endlessly, and the family would have no peace, so why should I have to marry him?"
The second young lady was once again shocked by Gu Zhirong's words. Gu Zhirong smiled disapprovingly: "Sister, don't be surprised, if you have the opportunity to go to those poetry and painting societies established by the people, it is not difficult to find that in fact, in the countryside, most women like to find a person they like to marry, and now some parents in the folk are also very open-minded, and for the good of their daughters, they have begun to allow their daughters to marry freely." Even if you don't marry well in the future, there is still a way. It's like crossing the ground, and the couples who don't agree have been allowed to reconcile and divorce. If my sister doesn't believe it, she might as well go to the folk to have a look, and she will gain a lot. ”
As soon as Gu Zhirong said this, not only the second lady was moved, but even the girls in the room began to have their own careful thoughts. If they could really be like folk women, then they would be much happier.
"Second sister, what do you think, there are many people and great power, follow me. Gu Zhirong looked at the second miss with a smile and said, with a tone that meant to pull her into the army.
"Second sister, if you can help me this time, then next time, I will definitely help you and the prince. Gu Zhirong thought for a while, and then said, "But before that, second sister, you must see clearly and think clearly, whether the prince is the most trustworthy person in your life." ”
The second lady raised her head again and looked at Gu Zhirong, stunned. The latter said from the bottom of her heart, and what she said was exactly what she wanted, but she didn't dare to think about. If the latter is deliberately trying to deceive her and lure her into the game, why bother to tell her true thoughts, isn't this clearly for her to grasp the handle?
Then, there is only one possibility, the Gu Xiaowu in front of her decided to join forces with her, so what Fang just said was heartfelt and sincere.
Should she accept such a suggestion?
