Chapter VI
The little kitchen was clanging, and after a night of chaos, everyone had to eat something. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Mother Han served lotus seed porridge, and everyone was about to start, when a little girl ran in and hurriedly said, "Master, Mr. Gu and Young Master Gu are here."
I listened, a little scared to see Gu Shaoqing. After a night of consideration, I have decided not to see him again. We met in a beautiful spring, after a summer of fermentation, this little bit of peach blossom-like sweetness has been awakened last night, my sister's affairs have made the family restless, if you add me and Gu Shaoqing, I am afraid that the whole Nanjing City will be rumored that the Liu sisters fell in love with the father and son scandal, the peach tabloid has never been worried about no rendering. It's just that I was suddenly afraid of my own calmness and restraint, but in one night's work, I had soberly distanced myself from him, and this kind of reason made me disgusted but helpless!
Our family was not ready to deal with Mr. Gu and Gu Shaoqing's visit, so when the father and son walked into the hall wearing the same black trench coat and their faces were as heavy as ink, no one had the intention of speaking. I avoided Gu Shaoqing's gaze, twisted my head in the direction of my mother with difficulty, and remained silent.
"What is Mr. Gu's urgent matter, he wants to bring his son to visit early in the morning?" The father asked very politely, obviously losing his enthusiasm for the Gu family's father and son.
Gu Rulin listened, and did not answer, but walked to the side where the teacher was and bowed to him, before slowly speaking: "Yaoshan, I have your recommendation, I met Miss Mingzhao in Ningyuan, and the next few months of getting along made me feel a sense of sympathy for her. You once said that it is easy to be rich in life, but it is difficult to make friends. I haven't felt this joy for 20 years since my deceased wife died, and I know that you and Mr. Liu must think I'm shameless, but you should know my temperament. Therefore, I will ask you to know my mind first, and then I will ask Mr. Liu for my guilt. In addition, my son Shaoqing also had something to show to Mr. Liu. ”
Show, what is he going to say?
"Father, I have something to say to Senior Brother Gu!" I didn't care about it, I took the lead and pulled Gu Shaoqing, who was just about to step forward, and ran out of the hall and stopped in the corridor on the side.
"What are you going to say?"
Gu Shaoqing looked at me and didn't speak.
"Are you going to talk to your father about us at this time?" I asked again.
"Han Zhao, you want to give up on me and fulfill your sister, right?" The word he asked, every word of the question, was the most important fact for me to argue at the moment. He's really smart, and he understands what I mean from the moment he walks in. It's a pity that I was too cold-blooded, so I made a decision in just one night and didn't stay any longer.
"I ......"
"You don't have to say anything, I can't imagine such a thing, but I only say one word, I don't give up. I said the same thing with my father, so today our father and son are here, and since fate has arranged it so, then we will also hand it over to fate, and your father has the right to know. After Gu Shaoqing finished speaking, he didn't wait for me anymore and walked back.
In the rainy autumn, the cold wind blows people with frost on their faces, and even tears have a bitter taste. I choked up and shouted at the back of the walking figure, "Give up, I won't admit it!"
In the hall, Gu Shaoqing had already stated what he meant, he said that he knew what such a situation meant, but this was his love, and he wanted to fight for the right to love, no matter what the final outcome was.
I'm really touched that in this not very long-lasting relationship, at least one of my sister and I is happy, putting aside the complexity of the world, at least no one has fled and turned their backs on love, except me.
The long silence suppressed everyone in this mansion, and above the glass window, for no reason, there was a crackling sound of water, and invisible troubles followed us, beating every tired soul in the morning when the water was falling silver.
After that, the teacher, who hadn't slept all night, said: "Rulin, I shouldn't have interfered. I thought I would see you at Liu's house to propose marriage for Shaoqing, who would have thought ...... Hey......"
"You go back first, I can't answer you. This matter is a big matter, and it is still up to Qingsong to make a decision, but I can tell you clearly that I support Shaoqing! ”
Being single-handedly said by the teacher, no matter how thick-skinned Gu Rulin was, he didn't want to say anything more, he knew that this was destined to be a battle against all odds, so he politely said goodbye to everyone and walked out. But Gu Shaoqing bowed to the teacher and said something that surprised everyone present: "Teacher, I decided to go to Shanghai." You helped me take care of Han Zhao, and I came back in three months. After that, he stopped looking at me and walked away without looking back.
My wife called and asked if the teacher had woken up, and sent a car to pick up the teacher who had not returned home for a long time. And Shifang and Haizhu also went home at the urging of their uncle to deal with sudden emergencies.
My sister knelt in the study all night and didn't know about the visit of Gu's father and son. My father took my mother and me and sent all the servants out, leaving only Han's mother Mubo to guard the door.
In the study, she was still wearing that silver-red shirt, but she made people feel like thorns.
"Mingzhao, after kneeling all night, can you figure out why I told you to kneel?" Father asked.
The daughter lost the face of the Liu family and was willing to be punished. But the daughter's original intention did not change. ”
"Slap ......" A loud applause shocked everyone speechless. My sister looked at her mother with a face full of disbelief.
"Mother, you hit me......"
When her mother heard this, she cried: "Mingzhao, why are you so confused. You...... Do you know your sister ......?"
"Mother!"
I shook my head and motioned for her to stop talking.
"Iniquity...... What kind of sin has our Liu family created? ”
When my sister saw it, she also cried: "What are you hiding from me, say it, I can bear it."
"Can you bear it, what can you bear, are you willing to give up Gu Rulin and fulfill your sister?" Father asked in a deep voice.
"You...... What do you say? ”
"Your sister and Gu Shaoqing have been in love for three months, and Mr. Yaoshan was going to give them a main marriage!"
Gu Shaoqing ...... Hehe...... Why Gu Shaoqing? My sister knelt there alone, her cheeks hot from her mother's slap, and she laughed. I watched it, stayed for a while, rolled down two lines of tears, and felt even more cold, straight into my heart.
Oh, yes? Why Gu Shaoqing?
In the past, when I read the translation of "Romeo and Juliet" by Chung Hwa Book Company, I only thought that Shakespeare's language was straightforward and a bit exaggerated. Now that I have experienced it myself, I realize that language is really magical, and Juliet repeatedly muttered "Romeo, why are you Romeo?" "It's really sour to the bottom of my heart.
"Blame me! Blame me for instilling the idea of freedom of marriage in your sisters for so many years, blame me for not restricting you to embroider at home, it is because I am too used to you that the Liu family has today's disaster. The father blamed himself, hugged his mother and sighed.
"Sister, I only ask you, are you determined to follow Mr. Gu and not look back?"
My sister raised the back of her hand and wiped the tears on her face, looked at me and replied word by word: "Little sister, my sister has grown up with her parents since she was a child, and she has been in the capital with them. At that time, I thought how pitiful my sister must be when she was not with her parents since she was a child. Later, when I came back and saw you so lively, I felt that you were a strong child that I couldn't compare. Now, you are only 17 years old, you have worshiped Mr. Yaoshan as your teacher, and you are valued by Vice Minister He, I know you don't like He Shutong, but it doesn't matter, you have other young talents waiting, it's really not good, you can go to Shanghai to find a good family. But I'm different, I'm a cowardly person, and without Gu Rulin, I really can't meet someone who makes my heart move again. My sister is now twenty-five years old, and I can't afford to wait. Therefore, I shamelessly ask you to fulfill me! ”
It turned out that in just a few minutes, she had made a choice.
"Good! Good! For your words, I will fulfill you. We have been sisters for 17 years, and because you are my only sister, I have to fulfill you. But have you figured it out? The moment you marry into the Gu family as your aunt's wife, your father, mother and I are no longer the people you once loved the most, and it is even possible to ...... "I cried sadly, and I really can't say what I said next, that is my beloved sister."
Time seemed to stop in this second, and the room was quiet, only hearing what Han's mother and the little maid were talking about outside the house.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Han's mother walked in and said to her father: "Master, the second master is here, there is a big incident in Shanghai, and the third master is ......."
"How?" Father's face was solemn.
"Something happened to the third master!"
