Chapter 65: Marriage

Chapter 65 Discussion of Relatives

Gu Yunshan drank tea slowly, watched Gu Xiao go out of the courtyard through the window, turned his head, looked at Li Xiaonuan thoughtfully, and only raised his eyebrows for a while, and said with a soft smile:

"Gu Xiao looks good-tempered, in fact, he has been a tough man since he was a child, and he easily refuses to listen to people, and after looking at it in the past two years, that is, your words, he can listen to it the most."

Li Xiaonuan was slightly stunned, raised her eyebrows in surprise, and burst into a smile.

"What the big sister said is true? I think Gu Xiao's temper is really good, don't you see where he is strong? ”

"That is, with you, he will naturally not be strong."

Gu Yunshan looked at Li Xiaonuan obliquely, and said slowly, Li Xiaonuan was full of doubts, spread her hands, Gu Yunshan laughed, put down the cup, and sat up straight,

"But this person's nature is difficult to change, in the past few years, Gu Xiao's temper has been much better, but when it comes to things, I can't guarantee that after a while, he will be stubborn again, and you will know when the time comes."

Li Xiaonuan thought about it, spread her hands with a smile, and didn't answer, Gu Yunshan turned her head to look at the house, and several girls such as Late Winter and Pearl retreated to the outside room, leaving only her and Li Xiaonuan to talk quietly.

Gu Yunshan leaned back on the pillow leisurely, dialed the cup with his fingers as if bored, and after a while, he said as if he didn't care:

"It's been a while and it's really annoying to be in the house."

Li Xiaonuan squinted her eyes and laughed, looked at Gu Yunshan, and asked pretending to be stupid:

"Lively? What's going on in the house? How did I not know? ”

Gu Yunshan blocked her throat in one breath, her face turned a little red, she was stunned, and glared at Li Xiaonuan,

"You"

Li Xiaonuan looked at her with a smile on her face and said:

"You and the second sister have to listen to things every day, and naturally you can see the excitement, I am either Songfeng Courtyard or Ruixuan Hall every day, these two places are not lively"

Gu Yunshan snorted, straightened up, and stretched out his hand to flick Li Xiaonuan's forehead,

"Talking to you seriously, you are laughing upside down"

Li Xiaonuan smiled and fell on the pillow,

"The big sister must be picky, but I don't know which one to choose"

Gu Yunshan snorted lightly, with a hint of joy on her face, picked up the cup, and slowly drank two sips of tea before putting down the cup and whispering:

"The ancestor actually said let me make up my own mind, how can I have any ideas, and I ......"

Gu Yunshan paused, turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan, thought about it, and said in a low voice:

"I don't know which one is better."

"How many families did the ancestor tell you?"

Li Xiaonuan smiled and asked seriously, Gu Yunshan lowered her eyes, her fingers traced the wood grain on the couch, and said in a low voice:

"Two families."

"Hmm"

Li Xiaonuan agreed heavily, waiting for her to continue, Gu Yunshan paused, and then said:

"You also know that there are many families who come to ask for relatives, but there are only two families that can make the ancestors take a fancy to them, one is the eldest son of the Zhao family in Huzhou, what is Zhao Changchen's, he is a tribute student."

"Huzhou Zhao family?"

"Well, it's Mrs. Zhao's family who just became a master last year, this is Mrs. Zhao's eldest grandson, I heard that he is talented, anyway, it's all good."

"Mrs. Zhao's family? Well, I've heard of the Zhao family, which is a Wang family in Huzhou, with prosperous people and many talents. ”

Gu Yunshan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Li Xiaonuan and nodded with a smile,

"I knew you were a mindful of everything"

"And what about the other one?"

"There is another family, is the eldest grandson of the Taizhou Jin family, Jin Zhiyang, the Jin family was born in business, the family is very rich, only to the grandfather's generation to be promoted, and it is also a six-grade pusher, and then Ding Wei went home, he did not go out again, Jin Zhiyang's father also won a tribute, the ancestor said that his family has a simple population, Jin Zhiyang's grandfather gave birth to two sons, one grandson and one concubine, the eldest son is Jin Zhiyang's father, and there is an uncle, I heard that I went to the south to do a sea ship business, Jin Zhiyang's father did not have a concubine, The following is a younger sister and two younger brothers, both of whom are grandchildren. ”

Gu Yunshan said carefully, Li Xiaonuan listened intently, thought for a while and asked:

"What about the Zhao family? Mrs. Zhao heard that he is a well-known **** talent."

"Well, the Zhao family, the first two ladies of Mrs. Zhao have passed away, and now she is the third lady, I heard that she is only in her thirties, thirty years younger than Mrs. Zhao, and there are many aunts and grandmothers in the family, Zhao Changchen's father, I heard that there are also three or four aunts, and the ancestors can't figure out how many children are born in the family."

Li Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Yunshan with a bitter expression,

"Why do you have to hesitate to talk about the Zhao family, it's Zhao Changchen's own family, the concubine, it's messy enough, besides, this family comes out, the temperament and character are not bad, this Zhao Changchen may also be a self-proclaimed ****, and a few more concubines will come in later......"

Li Xiaonuan shook her head heavily, looked at Gu Yunshan and said solemnly:

"This Zhao family, this Zhao Changchen, but the Jin family is good if there is no good match, then Jin Zhiyang's father has no concubines, Jin Zhiyang has been used to seeing him since he was a child, maybe he can be like his father."

Gu Yunshan breathed a long sigh of relief, sighed again, looked at Li Xiaonuan and said:

"You've said it to my heart, but"

Gu Yunshan paused in embarrassment, sighed heavily, and continued:

"After all, the Jin family is rich but not expensive, the foundation is shallow, in the future, except for silver money, there is nothing that can help Gu Xiao, but silver money, our family is not short of it, the Zhao family is different, Zhao Taifu's protégés are all over the world, and the Zhao family has many officials, so I can take care of it more in the future."

Li Xiaonuan tilted her head to look at Gu Yunshan, was silent for a moment, and said with a smile:

"The eldest sister is the eldest sister after all, if you think about Gu Xiao and the family in advance, it's just that even if the eldest sister marries into the Zhao family, she has to take care of Gu Xiao, the eldest sister has an inner house ****, naturally she can't come forward, she can only ask Zhao Changchen, Zhao Changchen himself is a tribute student, even if the scientific examination goes smoothly, it is only a few years more than Gu Xiao, to take care of Gu Xiao, I am afraid that I am still weak, the eldest sister entrusts him to take care of it, he has to entrust others to go, the most likely, it is to entrust Mrs. Zhao, maybe he can also entrust someone else in the Zhao family."

Li Xiaonuan said slowly, word by word,

"If you entrust Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao's own concubines in her own house, there are a group of sons, and I don't know how many grandsons there are, I am afraid that I will have to take care of them, and it will not be Gu Xiao's turn for a while, if I entrust someone else, such a person entrusts people, even if I take care of them, where can I take care of them?"

Gu Yunshan nodded lightly while listening, Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Yunshan, and continued slowly:

"This is still the eldest sister in charge of the house, can speak, such a family, the elders above the eldest sister don't know how many, a genuine old lady is only in her thirties, can the eldest sister be in charge, can she speak, still in the two can."

Gu Yunshan let out a long sigh and fell back,

"But the Jin family, alas, in addition to silver, the foundation is too shallow."

Li Xiaonuan covered her mouth and laughed,

"That's good, if his family has big roots and deep roots, it's not as good as it is now, but I don't know how Jin Zhiyang can learn."

"I heard that I have been very smart since I was a child, and I learned about it at the age of fourteen."

Gu Yunshan said in a low voice, Li Xiaonuan clapped her hands gently,

"That's the best, the eldest sister marries the past, the Jin family up and down, must look at the eldest sister several times, and you have to hold the eldest sister in the palm of your hand"

Gu Yunshan glared at Li Xiaonuan, and Li Xiaonuan said with a smile:

"The eldest sister is really, think about it, our family will be out in the future, and we will entrust someone to take care of it, but it is Gu Xiao, the eldest sister's grandfather's family is the family of the prince, the nephew of the in-law, how can the Marquis of Zhou not take care of it wholeheartedly? Even if the Zhou family can't take care of it, there is still the Runan Palace, and the Runan Wangfu has such prestige in our Yuan Dynasty and in the army, without saying anything from the Lord of Runan, just for this family affection, who dares not to give in to one or two? Besides, there is also that Zhou Gongzi."

"Gongzi Zhou? Zhou Gongzi can also take care of us? ”

Gu Yunshan's eyes widened and became strange, Li Xiaonuan coughed a few times like choking, and hurriedly explained vaguely:

"Those who can be friends with the prince of Runan are naturally rich and noble sons, naturally, cough, can take care of it."

Gu Yunshan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Xiaonuan funny and said:

"You don't understand this, around the children of rich and noble families, there are often some literati who help idle, talented and interesting, but they are all low-status, and there are also helpers who help them with their future, but after all, there are very few."

Li Xiaonuan nodded hurriedly and pulled the topic back,

"Big sister, think about it, Princess Runan is the sister of Madame's sister-in-law, and the prince and our family have always been good friends, so in the future, there is no need to rely on anything else, just Runan Palace, it is enough."

"But ......"

Gu Yunshan hesitated,

"With the Runan Royal Mansion alone, is it a bit lonely?"

"Ancestor and Mrs., even Gu Xiao, it's just asking for peace and wealth, what do you want so many forces to do? and don't grab the mountain to be the emperor"

Li Xiaonuan glanced at Gu Yunshan and said, Gu Yunshan laughed, stretched out her hand and nodded Li Xiaonuan's forehead explained:

"Look at you, talking and talking, just talking nonsense, this word of robbing the mountain to be the emperor is not something that can be said casually, let people hear it, but it is the crime of rebellion and killing the head"

Li Xiaonuan shrunk her shoulders, nodded with a smile, and Gu Yunshan let out a long sigh of relief,

"I'm the same as you think, I just think, it's like thinking about myself like this, it's a little too selfish, my mother is day and night, and Gu Xiao can have a big future in the future, I'm the eldest daughter, so I have to help share one or two worries, if I choose the Jin family, it seems that I think about myself."

"How can the eldest sister think like this, Mrs. looks forward to Gu Xiao's life, and naturally looks forward to you and the second sister having a good and happy life in the future, if you get married and become an angry little daughter-in-law, and some concubines are naughty with your sister from time to time, and your sister can be in a good mood? If you are in a bad mood, your body is naturally not good, if you are like this, how distressed will your wife be? I'm afraid that I will wash my face with tears every day, and I will cry to death."
