Chapter 16: The Past (1)
"Sister Ning, what's going on with you today?"
In the Zhenghe Hall, Mrs. Tai held Gu Guanning's hand and asked in a low voice, "The father and daughter of the Shen family just arrived in the mansion today, why did they make you unhappy?"
Gu Wanning didn't answer and asked: "Why did my grandmother ask this? Maybe it wasn't that they made me unhappy, it was because I was narrow-minded and couldn't allow my mother to treat others better than me, so I deliberately made things difficult for them." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Mrs. Tai smiled: "My Sister Ning is not such a stingy person. You must have your reasons for doing this. β
The two ordinary sentences made Gu Wanning's nose sour: "Grandmother, you are so good to me." β
This is the real family.
Trust her without hesitation and always be on her side.
Mrs. Tai smiled and patted the back of Gu Wanning's hand: "Silly girl, say some stupid things." Grandmother is just a granddaughter like you, if she is not good to you, should she be good to irrelevant outsiders?"
Yes, in terms of blood relationship, my grandmother only had one relative. Gu Jinyan is not the bloodline of the Gu family at all!
Gu Guanning took a deep breath and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
My grandmother was old, and she told her such an astonishing truth, but I was afraid that she would not be able to withstand such a blow. What's more, at this time, she has no evidence. Even if she did, my grandmother might not believe it.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Tai keenly noticed Gu Wanning's slight strangeness: "Do you have anything to say to your grandmother?"
"Grandmother is really amazing, and she can tell at a glance that I have something on my mind. β
Gu Wanning smiled concealedly: "I just want to tell my grandmother that I don't like Shen Qinglan, if my mother forces me to be close to her, I will definitely not follow it." In the future, I will inevitably have an argument with my mother because of this. When the time comes, my grandmother will have to protect me. Otherwise, I'm afraid that my mother will be angry with me......"
"She dare!" Mrs. Tai raised her eyebrows and snorted lightly: "With me here, no one wants you to be idle." β
Gu Wanning's heart warmed, and he smiled deliberately: "Grandmother, why don't you ask me, why don't you like Shen Qinglan?"
Mrs. Tai replied disappreciatively: "A mere cousin, if you don't like it, you don't like it, what reason do you want." If you don't like her, let her stay in Guilan Courtyard in peace, and don't come out to hinder your eyes. You can't say these things, I'll just tell your mother later. β
It's really happy to be loved by people like this, and to be protected by people like this regardless of the reason.
Gu Wanning hummed, knelt in front of Mrs. Tai, and rested his head on Mrs. Tai's knees.
Mrs. Tai caressed her soft hair lovingly, and said softly: "It's not early, you should go back and rest early! You must have been very hard and tired these days with Master Chen practicing martial arts and archery." β
"Grandmother won't stop you from doing what you like. β
"But you also have to take care of yourself, don't let your grandmother worry about you all day. It should be regarded as filial piety to grandmother. β
Gu Guanning obediently agreed.
β¦β¦
The next day, Shen Qian moved out of the Hou Mansion.
The Shen family should not go out of the house, so he specially told his henchman Zheng's mother to settle down with Shen Qian.
The residence that the Shen family prepared for Shen Qian was only a few streets away from the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and it was only half an hour's walk. The courtyard of the two entrances is really not big, but it is more than enough for one person to live.
A few plum blossoms were planted in the yard, and there were fine pen, ink, paper and inkstones in the study.
Shen not only prepared a place to live, but also specially bought two scholars and four small servants.
Shen Qian was moved in his heart, and whispered to Zheng's mother: "Please thank the ninth sister on my behalf after Mother Zheng goes back." β
Mother Zheng smiled meaningfully: "The fifth uncle said this, but it was too outward. Madame knew that the fifth uncle was going to bring Miss Biao to the capital, and she was so happy that she couldn't sleep for several nights. The old slave has served his wife for so many years, and he has not seen his wife so happy for a long time. β
Shen Qian's eyes flashed with complicated emotions, and he asked in a low voice after a while, "Ninth sister, ...... Do you rarely show your face in Su Ri?"
Mother Zheng's eyes swept and motioned for all the servants to retreat.
When there were only two people left in the room, she and Shen Qian were left, and Zheng's mother sighed: "Fifth young master, Miss is thinking about your father and daughter in her heart, how can you ever really be happy for so many years? Fortunately, God bless, you and Miss can reunite again." The young lady didn't know how happy she was. β
Hearing the familiar title, Shen Qian's expression was in a trance for a moment.
The memories of the old days came to my heart in an instant.
β¦β¦
She is the youngest daughter of the long house, and is the ninth in the clan.
He is the only son of Wufang and is the fifth.
Only a few people know that the son born to the five-room couple died that year, and later bought the young man from Renyazi.
He replaced the original Shen Qian and became the fifth young master of the Shen family.
He has been smart since he was a child, and he is very talented in reading. And because of his handsome appearance, he is quite famous in Xijing. His adoptive parents also treated him very well.
At that time, he didn't know his life experience.
He and her are cousins, similar in age, they have grown up together since childhood, they have similar interests and temperaments, and their feelings are very close.
He likes to read and is good at painting, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is handsome and elegant, she is beautiful and moving, and her temperament is elegant. The two stood together, like a pair of golden boys and girls. It always attracts a lot of admiration and amazement.
Someone jokingly said, it's a pity that you two are cousins, otherwise it's really a pair made in heaven.
When he was young, he heard such a joke, and his heart rippled.
It's a pity that they are cousins and sisters, and they will never be the "couple" in his mouth.
He looked up at her with regret and sorrow, only to find that there was also a faint sadness in her beautiful and clear eyes.
At that moment, his heart pounded.
It turned out that she also had him in her heart.
Later, he occasionally learned his true origins, and his heart was ecstatic. He is not really related to her! he can like her, and she can like him!
Two young and ignorant hearts gradually approached and bloomed into brilliant flowers. In a corner that everyone doesn't know, it blooms wantonly.
The cruel reality soon dealt him and her a heavy blow.
She came to him crying and told him that the Gu family had come to propose marriage.
Dingbei Hou Mansion Gu family, the famous Jiangmen Hou Mansion of the Great Qin Dynasty. As the only concubine of the Gu family, Gu Zhan inherited the title of Marquis of Dingbei at the age of fifteen.
It is not enough to have a prominent family background, Gu Zhan is still a handsome young man, with outstanding martial arts, and he began to lead troops to fight at a young age, and has made a lot of achievements. No matter from which point of view, Gu Zhan is undoubtedly extremely outstanding.
With such a good family business, it is no wonder that her parents are so happy, and they can't wait to respond to the family business.
"Fifth brother, I don't want to marry Gu Zhan. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. The girl threw herself into his arms, weeping and expressing affection.
He excitedly hugged her tightly in his arms and said firmly: "Ninth sister, my heart for you can be seen by the sun and the moon. Wait for me, and I will go to my great uncle and aunt now, and ask them to marry you. β
She wept with joy, and her teardrop-stained face bloomed into a bright and touching smile.
Soon, he knew how naΓ―ve and ridiculous he was.
When he knelt in front of her parents to explain his thoughts and intentions, the eldest uncle, who had always been easy-going and amiable, was furious: "Ridiculous! Ridiculous! You are the son of the Shen family, even if you are not related by blood, you are still Mei Jun's cousin." How can you two have a personal relationship?"
What's more, Mei Jun has already made a marriage agreement with Gu Houye, and the wedding date is at the end of the year. Don't be delusional, dispel this thought as soon as possible. β
When his adoptive parents heard the news, they were shocked and angry, angrily reprimanded him for his delusions, and locked him up without saying anything.
She was also placed under house arrest.
A pair of affectionate young men and women were forcibly separated.
The young man was the most impulsive, and she took advantage of the middle of the night to escape from the house. Her nurse came quietly to deliver a letter to him.
Her love is warm and resolute, how can he live up to it? For her sake, even if he leaves the country incognito for the rest of his life, he is willing.
The two fled in a hurry, taking only two packages with them, and only her nurse by her side.
They fled to a small town, changed their names invisibly, worshipped with heaven and earth as a medium, and became husband and wife. The young man is hot, and he is obsessed with it every day, even if the days are hard, he is sweet and happy.
