Chapter 114: Relief

Sure enough, when Gu Mingyang came back in the evening, Mrs. Lu told him about the Chengming Marquis Mansion's door-to-door proposal, which made Gu Mingyang very surprised, because he muttered: "Yang Zifan is indeed the leader of the family in the capital, but how could he fall in love with Qiluo?" Obviously the two haven't met, right? I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

Mrs. Lu said: "The concubine is also puzzled, but the official Chen Bingren said that after the prince knew about the atom Fei, he admired the eldest girl's unyielding character, so now he heard that there were rumors in the capital that were unfavorable to the eldest girl, he was very angry, and it happened that he was now of marriage age, so he sent someone to propose marriage." It's a pity that the eldest girl is really stubborn, and scolded the person I sent to report the good news, and said that she would break the net with me. Alas! The eldest girl probably really has a deep knot in my heart, and even suspects that I hurt her for such a thing, and she thinks too highly of me, what am I? Can you command a prince of the Hou Mansion to come to the door to propose? ”

Mrs. Lu has never said bad things about Gu Qiluo in front of Gu Mingyang, and the reason why she said it today is to tell her husband: I have always tolerated the eldest girl, but she is too disagreeable, and she has become worse again and again, and I can't bear this grievance to this day, you have to understand my hardship.

Sure enough, Gu Mingyang comforted and patted her hand, and sighed: "That kid in Jiangbei died in battle, this matter is too big a blow to Qiluo, what's wrong with her, you take care of it more, who called you her stepmother?" But the matter of the Yang family, I do think it's very good, this is a wishful marriage, but Qiluo is afraid that she is still in pain, and it is normal for her to not accept it. You have to take your time. ”

Mrs. Lu glanced at Gu Mingyang and snorted coldly: "Is this truth only understood by the master?" Who is that Yang Shizi? He wouldn't know that? The reason why I am in such a hurry, I think it is nothing more than two aspects: one is that he has passed the weak championship this year. It's time to start a family; Second, the Marquis of Chengming is seriously ill and may pass away casually, and he will have to keep filial piety for three years at that time, and in these three years, who knows what can happen? That's why he is probably so anxious, although it is unreasonable, he can also see that people are indeed sincere to the eldest girl. I'm afraid that after three years, she will marry someone else's wife. ”

"Madame has some truth in what she said." Gu Mingyang stroked his beard and fell into contemplation, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said, "That's it, I'll talk to the old lady when I go back." Kira grew up beside the old lady since she was a child, and she can still listen to what the old lady says. But you can't be in a hurry about this matter, and you can also say hello to the Chengming Marquis Mansion. Please understand. Why can't Jiangbei just die in battle, we're going to marry Qiluo here, right? What has become of this? What's more, those two children were indeed affectionate before. ”

"Okay." Mrs. Lu nodded and said, "The concubine listens to the master." Since the incident of Atom Fei, Gu Mingyang has neglected her for a while, she knows that her husband is suspicious, but fortunately she can't get any evidence, so in the past half a year, she has really stacked thousands of soft intestines, and she has been gentle and gentle, and she has finally come to this point. Gu Mingyang was no longer as cold as before, and the husband and wife had regained their former harmony.

This is where Gu Mingyang makes Gu Qiluo powerless. It's true that he is a peerless good father, but because he attaches too much importance to affection, he is not decisive enough in family affairs, and he is a little bit indistinguishable from wrong, and would rather be an ostrich. In desperation, the eldest girl can only comfort herself with "no one is perfect".

******************

"Don't be angry, girl, the old lady is also good for you, to tell the truth, that Chengming Hou Shizi has always had a good reputation, and the slave maid often heard people talk about him before he entered the house."

"Oh? You were still in the South Gate shack, right? Where did all his fame go? Gu Qiluo and Chunyu walked out of Mrs. Zhou's room, the eldest girl had no expression on her face, and when she heard what Chunyu said, she asked casually.

"Well, that...... Brother Zhong often talks about him. Chunyu stuck out his tongue and whispered: "But Brother Zhong didn't say anything good about him, saying that he was a hypocrite...... Ah, but don't believe Brother Zhong, since he didn't want to take the imperial examination, he didn't like anyone, and it was inevitable that his words would be unfair, in fact, my brother said that this Chengming Hou Shizi was a little capable, and he was praised by many Confucians. ”

"Zhong Chunfeng is right." Gu Qiluo tightened her cloak, the weather at the end of October was already very cold, she squinted her eyes slightly, and sneered: "It's really so good what everyone said, how could you do such a thing?" How long has it been since the news of Xiao Jiangbei's death in battle came? He can't wait to come to the door to propose? If he is a character like Xiao Jiangbei, it makes sense, but no, everyone says that he is a humble gentleman who is as gentle as jade, hehe, now it seems that he is just a hypocrite, and a gentleman will not do such a thing. ”

"Girl...... Isn't it a bit biased? The old lady is right, the reason why people are so anxious is probably because they really like you, so I am afraid that once the old marquis has something, he will miss the girl. Chunyu Xiaosheng muttered, but listened to Gu Qiluo snort coldly: "A real gentleman pays attention to all kindness and filial piety first, his father is critically ill now, does he have the intention to settle the family affairs before his father dies?" This is a curse on his heart. Really like it? I haven't even seen a face, so why do you really like it? This kind of talk is almost the same to deceive those little girls who are not deeply involved in the world. ”

Chunyu stopped talking, and suddenly saw Xinghua enter the courtyard gate, her face was a pang, and when she saw Xinghua coming over, she asked, "Mrs. is looking for my sister to go over, what's the matter?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just pulling me to talk for a while." Xinghua said lightly, Gu Qiluo glanced at her, and saw that her eyebrows were full of tiredness and sadness, so she shook her head and said: "She doesn't know what medicine she sells in her gourd, it doesn't matter, although you are with her hypocrisy, if she likes to talk, you can accompany her, I want to see what tricks she is going to play this time, if you still want to let the third girl marry the Chengming Marquis Mansion instead of me, it would be great, you just let her find me, I am willing to give advice for this matter." ”

"Girl." Xinghua looked at Gu Qiluo in a daze, originally Mrs. Lu had stopped for a few days, but for some reason she began to talk to her again in the past few days, she was already tormented and almost collapsed, but now she suddenly heard Gu Qiluo say such a thing, no matter how she looked, it didn't look like she was suspicious of her, could it really be that she was worried? The girl still believes in herself, and she doesn't fall for Mrs. Lu, she is scaring herself?

As soon as she thought of this, Xinghua suddenly felt a relief in her heart, and the burden in her heart that had been in her heart for a long time seemed to have suddenly left her, so that she could only look at Gu Qiluo blankly for a while, and she couldn't make any reaction.

"What's wrong? Why do you cry when you're so good? Gu Qiluo looked at Xinghua in surprise, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on her face, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sad for Xiao Jiangbei these days, so I can't care about anything else, could it be that you are also sad?" I don't know? ”

"It's not." Xinghua shook her head, took Gu Qiluo's handkerchief and solemnly put it away, grinned and said, "Girl, the slave is happy." ”

"Tears of joy? What's wrong? What's going on? Are you so happy? Gu Qiluo was really strange, but when she saw Xinghua lowering her head and sobbing, she said, "Girl, are you ...... You really didn't suspect a slave? You...... Don't you think that the slave has been bought by his wife? ”

"Xinghua, what's wrong with you? How did this mind jump like this? Gu Qiluo was confused, and couldn't help but look at Chunyu: "Could it be that my head was kicked by a donkey during this time?" Or is it flooded? ”

With a "flutter", Xinghua couldn't help but burst into laughter, glanced at Chunyu and said, "Girl, don't say that, if you want to say that, Chunyu will be kicked by a donkey." After saying that, when she saw that Chunyu was about to pounce, she grabbed it, and then sighed: "Don't talk about Chunyu, even I doubt myself, I sometimes think in a trance that I really wasn't bought by my wife?" Why the hell is she so affectionate to me? Although the girl has not said anything about this these days, I am almost driving myself crazy, and I always feel that it is impossible for the girl not to doubt me, and if I were a girl, I must be suspicious. It wasn't until just now, when I heard the girl's words, that I realized that maybe I was wrong, and I still underestimated the girl's mind......"

"Okay, you don't need to bring me a top hat, I won't doubt you if you don't praise me." Only then did Gu Qiluo understand why Xinghua's strange attitude came today, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "You didn't underestimate my mind, you underestimated my IQ." Mrs. bribes you? What to buy? Does she have more money than me? Or is it more charismatic than me? What can she give you that I can't? Even if you don't want to be a slave and want to regain your freedom, just talk to me and I can do it. I told you and Chunyu a long time ago, and now I still need your help, if you have a result and want to leave me, I will never stop you......"

"Girl, the slave will never leave you." Chunyu was anxious when he heard this, and pulled Gu Qiluo to show his loyalty in a hurry.

"For example, for example, do you understand? I'm just expressing my attitude. Gu Qiluo hurriedly said that Chunyu was so loyal that sometimes she didn't have a problem with this little girl. Suddenly, Xinghua pretended to complain on the side: "Girl, you really hurt the heart of the slave and maid, let you say this, and wipe out all the feelings of the slave and maid for you, but only because of the relationship of interests are not bought by the wife, girl, the slave and maid are also loyal to you, do you want to be worthy of the slave and maid?" ”

"Of course, I still believe in your character." Gu Qiluo solemnly patted Xinghua on the shoulder: "Didn't you just let Chunyu interrupt without finishing speaking?" But you have to admit that you are a sane person, not a naΓ―ve and stupid little thing like Chunyu, and you will never forget to give it a benefit. So I analyze you intellectually, and that makes perfect sense. (To be continued......)
