Chapter 17 Hanging Beams

"Mother, I heard that my father called Luo Chen to the mansion today, and I was worried, my father didn't do anything to Luo Chen, right?" Gu Wanyue asked with a worried expression.

Gu's mother has always regarded Wanyue as the pearl of her palm, and naturally she doesn't want her daughter to suffer in the future, so she doesn't support Wanyue and Luo Chen. However, because Wanyue was determined, Gu's mother couldn't help but favor her daughter a little, and seeing Wanyue's worried expression at this time, she even believed that Wanyue's feelings for Luo Chen were sincere and sincere.

Gu's mother smiled gently: "I was just about to tell you, my mother knows that you and Luo Chen are in love with each other, and you can't stay together for life." I have also persuaded your father several times, but your father was annoyed when he heard it, and I didn't dare to persuade deeply. I don't know what luck I got today, your father went to the governor's mansion, and when he came back, he actually called Luo Chen, saying that he would not marry you for the time being. If Na Luo Chen obtains fame in the spring exam next year, he will marry you to him, and if not, let him stop entanglement with you. ”

When Gu Wanyue heard this, a touch of joy appeared on her face, and she said with a smile: "I can trust Luo Chen's talent, as long as my father agrees to this matter, it doesn't matter if I wait for a year." ”

Zhilan couldn't help but say: "Miss is too optimistic, Miss think about it, if that Luo Gongzi fails to gain fame, I am afraid that the master will use this as an excuse to force Luo Gongzi and Miss to break off their relationship." ”

Gu's mother said with a solemn expression: "Yue'er, my mother is from here, and it is good for the two to be happy, but it is also an indispensable condition for the family to be right." If Na Luo Chen really loves you, he must not want you to suffer too much. You are Miss Everyone, he is a poor scholar. Since he is a man, if he wants to marry you, he should know that he must have enough capital worthy of you. If he keeps saying that he loves you, but he doesn't want to make progress, marries you, but can't provide a life like now, but makes you suffer and live a poor life, then he can't really love you. ”

When Gu Wanyue heard this, she felt that it made some sense, so she said: "What my mother said is also reasonable, I think if Luo Chen really treats me sincerely, he will cherish the opportunity that his father gave him this time, and he will hang the beam and stab the stock in order to make a name for himself." ”

Gu Mu smiled: "That's exactly what you said, since your father has given him a chance, whether he can marry you or not depends on his own creation." ”

At dusk, Gu Wanyue was sitting in the house in a daze, but saw Liu Ma bring a servant in, and after the two entered the door, Liu Ma hurriedly bolted the door from the inside and said in a low voice: "Miss, Luo Gongzi is here." ”

Gu Wanyue was stunned, and when the servant raised his head, it was Luo Chen.

Luo Chen looked at Gu Wanyue fixedly, his eyes were full of affection, and he said softly: "Wanyue, it's me, I miss you so much." ”

Gu Wanyue instinctively looked around, lowered her voice and asked, "How did you get in, no one saw you, right?" ”

Liu's mother said on the side: "Miss, Mr. Luo asked me to arrange it, and I wanted to see Miss, so I asked him to pretend to be a vegetable delivery vendor, but it happened that there was a new guy at the back door, and I was not familiar with Mr. Luo, so I was lucky to come in through the back door, and then I quickly brought him to Miss." If Luo Gongzi has anything to say, just hurry up and say it to Miss, if you stay for a long time, you are afraid of more trouble. ”

Luo Chen sighed, and said with a ashamed expression: "Wanyue, what your father said to me today, you must already know, after listening to your father's words, I originally thought that there was still a glimmer of hope." But I remembered something again, and I was afraid that the only hope would become hopeless. ”

Gu Wanyue looked concerned and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean, don't you believe that you can gain fame?" ”

Luo Chen's eyes showed a trace of helplessness, and he said softly: "In the past few days, I have met a nobleman, who could have soared, in order to be with you, I have already rejected the nobleman's request, I am afraid that the nobleman has a grudge in his heart, even if I am a good writer, I will not let me be named on the gold list." ”

Gu Wanyue had already gotten the news from Bai Sujin, so she naturally knew what Luo Chen said, but she couldn't say it. What's more, Gu Wanyue also has her own calculations, if it is really because of herself, Luo Chen worked hard to make progress and gain fame, then for herself, it is a good thing to have the best of both worlds, which is not only the achievement of Luo Chen's career, but also the happiness of her marriage.

At that moment, Gu Wanyue pretended to be puzzled and said, "Luo Chen, what do you mean by this, why can't I understand?" ”

Luo Chen looked at Gu Wanyue, and said what had happened in the past few days to Gu Wanyue concisely. At the end, Luo Chen sighed: "Now, the prince must have a grudge against me, originally I thought that even if I don't have fame in my life, you are enough." But I never expected that your father would agree to the marriage of you and me, on the condition that I must take the test to gain fame. This is really a dilemma, I thought about it again and again, for today's plan, only elopement is the best policy. ”

Gu Wanyue was speechless for a while, what Luo Chen said was the "truth", and she must not tell Luo Chen now, all this is fake, and it is all a temptation of the people in the matchmaker's shop to you. But what can he do to convince Luo Chen that he can study hard without distractions, so that he can prepare for the next year's examination?

Seeing this, Zhilan knew that Gu Wanyue was embarrassed, so she stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Master Luo, as a manly husband, how can you not even take this responsibility, you are afraid of power and power, you only think about elopement, and you don't care about the name of the young lady at all." My young lady really misjudged you. ”

Luo Chen turned his head to look at Zhilan and explained, "This is also a way to do it. ”

Zhilan snorted and sneered: "Master Luo, if you really like my young lady, you should marry Mingmei." My young lady is the daughter of the prefect, what is the matter with eloping with you, and after eloping, where did you put my young lady and let my young lady follow you, sleep in the open air, and be displaced? ”

When Luo Chen heard this, he lowered his head in shame, and Zhilan continued: "Besides, the prince just said a word casually, and you will take it seriously." What is the identity of the prince who can take you, an unknown scholar, to heart? It is estimated that after being angry for a while, they will leave you behind, and they may even forget your last name. What you can do now is to study hard, and after gaining fame, you can marry my young lady openly. ”

Luo Chen listened to Zhilan's words, and was even more ashamed, his thoughts were not even as good as a ring. Zhilan is right, the prince has seen a lot of people on weekdays, how can he care about his little scholar, not to mention, with the noble identity of the prince, he told others that he deliberately embarrassed a scholar because he forced the scholar to marry his sister-in-law unsuccessfully. It's not enough to laugh at it.

Thinking like this, Luo Chen's heart was settled, and he said: "Okay, Wanyue, you wait for me, I will take the test for fame in the coming year, and I will definitely carry a sedan chair eight times, and the Ming media is marrying and welcoming you to the door." ”

Matchmaker's shop.

Bai Sujin watched Li Quan run in, and asked with a smile, "How have you been investigating these days?" ”

Li Quan wiped the sweat on his head and replied: "I think that Luo Chen is a hard worker, his family background is average, he goes to a private school to teach during the day every day, earns some money to make a living, and at night he fights at night, often reading books and seeing the time around, what is even more surprising is that he also uses a rope, one end tied to the beam, and the other end tied to his hair, to force himself to read, which is really admirable." ”

Bai Sujin smiled slightly, and said: "If it weren't for hard work, how could you talk about success." Luo Chen's family background is average, and he has no background, if he doesn't work hard, he is afraid that he will be just an ordinary scholar who does nothing for the rest of his life. If he likes a village girl, it's fine, but what he likes is the daughter of the prefect. From the time he fell in love with Miss Gu, he should know what price he would have to pay if he wanted to marry Miss Gu. ”

Zijuan sighed beside him, and said, "I hope that he and Miss Gu can achieve positive results, and a lover will eventually become a family." ”
