Chapter 63: The Kind Sword
Shang Jia returned to the room and sat down, a little bored after an afternoon by the pond. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Why hasn't Gu Nan come back yet, Shang Jia knocked on his leg, and the seat was a little sore.
Steward Wang came over and knocked on the door at this moment, and Shang Jia opened the door.
"Miss Shang, the master asked you to go to the study. Steward Wang said.
"Me?" Shang Jia pointed to herself.
"Well, the master is waiting, Miss Shang will come with me. Steward Wang said.
Shang Jia was a little caught off guard, she came to Gu's house for two days, Gu Zhongyan hadn't talked to her alone, it must be nothing good to suddenly find her at this moment, Shang Jia thought secretly, but looking at the posture, she couldn't help but go.
"Good. Shang Jia responded.
She followed Steward Wang in the direction of the study, passing by the faint sunlight shining at dusk, she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
Gu Zhongyan looked for her for the first time, but he still picked Gu Nan to look for her when he was away.
Just as he was thinking about it, he had already walked to the door of the study, and Steward Wang knocked on the door, and then pushed the door open. "Please, ......," said Steward Wang.
Shang Jia took a deep breath, and then stepped into the study, she could guess what Gu Zhongyan would say, it was nothing more than to make her retreat.
Thinking of this, she felt some confidence in her heart.
When he looked up, he saw Gu Zhongyan Zhengyan standing next to the table writing, he put the brush on the inkstone, and then moved his beard. "Seat. He said.
Shang Jia walked towards him, only to see that he wrote the word 'show'.
The pen is chic and elegant, like flowing water, hiding needles in the cotton, and the pen is powerful.
Shang Jia glanced at it and then sat down on the small table next to the study,
Gu Zhongyan sat opposite her in a coat, his black beard mixed with a few white silks, and there was a serious air between his eyebrows, but there was a bit of casual and ancient rhyme.
"Master Gu. Shang Jia saluted politely.
"Recently, the house has been busy and has ignored Miss Shang. Gu Zhongyan put his hands on his knees.
Shang Jia smiled slightly, but did not respond.
"Although I don't know how Nanzi fell in love with you, it is still necessary for me, as the master of the Gu family, to talk to you. Gu Zhongyan poured a cup of tea.
The tea is green, smelling the smoke coming out of the green, and the tea fragrance is not shy and exudes a leisurely.
It's like everything coming back after a heavy rain in the mountains.
Shang Jia stared at the teacup, then quickly withdrew his gaze. "Master Gu can say anything about it. Shang Jia said.
"You don't hide it. Gu Zhongyan grimaced. "My Gu family has never let a dancer step into the threshold, and Miss Shang is the first person to break this precedent. There was no look of contempt in Gu Zhongyan's eyes, and today's Gu Zhongyan seemed to be a little different from usual.
"Although you were born as a dancer, I believe that dancers also have humanity. Gu Zhongyan picked up a cup of tea, he had seen the events of the past two days, and he also believed in his heart that this woman was not vain in admiring the Gu family.
"Yes, Master Gu. Shang Jia responded.
"You were sold into Baizimen since you were a child?" asked Gu Zhongyan.
"Hmm. Shang Jia responded.
"I don't know your character, but it's a good thing that you can bear it. Gu Zhongyan's serious face was a little more kind. "Let me ask you, can you covet my Gu family's property?" Gu Zhongyan asked.
Shang Jia didn't expect him to ask like this suddenly, she quickly reacted, "If you say that you are not greedy for money at all, Master Gu may not believe it." Shang Jia said. "Before I was with Er Shao, I didn't know how much money the Gu family had, in short, the person I fell in love with first was Er Shao. ā
Gu Zhongyan smiled. "Good. He was satisfied with Shang Jia's answer. "Straightforward. ā
"Master Gu, I really love Ershao. Shang Jia said.
Gu Zhong stretched out his hand and motioned for her not to speak, "I said it, I believe it." He said. "Your background is also pitiful, and I can understand it in this troubled world. Gu Zhongyan sighed. "But Miss Shang, there are some things you don't understand, even if one day I open my heart and let you marry into our Gu family, you won't be able to live. Gu Zhongyan looked like a scheming man.
Speaking of which, he is still showing his attitude.
Even if she does it well, the Gu family will not accept her.
"Master Gu. Shang Jia was a little sad, and when she heard this, her heart suddenly felt like someone had cut it with a knife.
"The door is not right, you and Nanzi are still young, so naturally they won't understand. You have been in the field for so many years, and you have seen and heard much more than Nanzi. Gu Zhongyan's eyes were a little sharper. "You can use methods to make him fall in love with you, and naturally you can also use methods to make him die. ā
Shang Jiazao was silent on the side, and his mind was in a mess at the moment.
"The decision of what to do is up to you. Gu Zhongyan said and was about to get up.
Shang Jia raised her head and looked at him in disbelief, why, why she couldn't be accepted by the Gu family no matter what she did.
"Master Gu......" Shang Jia plucked up his courage. "Why ......"
"Miss Shang, in today's troubled times, there is no why. Gu Zhongyan's eyes were sharp, but he had an approachable attitude. "You can't be the daughter-in-law of my Gu family, and you can't be the daughter-in-law of my second son. The door is not right, the world is different, even if Nanzi is good to you, but the flowers are not red for a hundred days. What's more, your identity is like poison. Gu Zhongyan opened the skylight and said something bright.
Shang Jiazao remained motionless in his chair, as if all the strength of his body had been drained.
"That's half a million, and you can get through the bottom half of your body without any worries. Gu Zhongyan put a silver ticket on the table, Shang Jia closed his eyes, and then only heard the sound of the door closing.
The study was quiet, a smell of ink permeated, Shang Jia didn't know how long she had been sitting, looking at this antique study, she only felt that this place was far away from her.
Gu Zhongyan's words today are clear, but she will never be recognized by the Gu family.
There is a small thread hidden in her heart, and the small thread gradually grows and takes root in her heart, and it still exists after all the pain and suffering.
But at this moment, she couldn't feel the existence of hope, and the thread was broken.
She looked at the silver ticket on the table weakly, and felt sad, should she cry, or should she smile?
That's 500,000 that's equivalent to 5 million in the 21st century, or even more.
But she wasn't happy at all, and now in her heart, none of that mattered anymore.
No matter how cautious and careful she was, she could not escape this flood.
Poor people must have something to hate, she carefully recalled, the original owner did not make any mistakes in his life, the only mistake may be to fall in love with someone who should not be loved.
And she, who came back from the dead, made the same mistake.
She slowly got up, looked at the silver ticket on the table and sneered.
