Chapter 607: Something Else to Repay
"Fourteen Niang, are you here?" Gu Wang stood up in surprise.
He had specifically asked his family, and Fourteen Niang had already gone out early in the morning. Otherwise, he didn't have such a leisurely interest, sitting here and talking with Dong Chunhui.
Although I think I have a good heart, but last time Fourteen Niang made a special trip to him to talk about it, so ...... He couldn't help but twist his face a little guilty.
"Fourteen Niang!" Dong Chunhui also stood up restrainedly and looked at her with an embarrassed look.
"Fourteen Niang!" Aunt Dong heard Gu Wang's cry, wiped her tears, and rushed over, "Fourteen Niang! Please spare Chunhui! Our Dong family is still counting on him to get ahead! ”
"Fourteen Niang!" Dong Da and Dong Sister-in-law also rushed over after her, "You are Fourteen Niang!" Please, raise your noble hand and spare our Dong family! Our Dong family is a small family, and we are not worthy of your family! ”
I didn't expect that Fourteen Niang would encounter such a scene when she came back, and Gu Wang stood there, which was extremely embarrassing.
Speaking of which, it is still his lack of decisiveness as a father to let his daughter face such an embarrassing thing.
Gu Ming smiled slightly and looked at Dong Chunhui: "You're here?" What are you kidding? Last time I said, you don't have to take it to heart when it comes to betting, you can't do it. ”
Bet? What to bet on? Everyone was confused and didn't understand what was going on.
Only Dong Chunhui thought about it, understood, and suddenly changed his face.
"What bet?" Aunt Dong asked a little strangely.
Gu Ming told her with a very good attitude: "It's just that before, once a group of us went out to play, and we made a bet when we had nothing to do, but Brother Dong lost, according to the requirements of the bet, he had to help me once later." But I didn't expect that he would use the marriage event to repay this gamble. ”
"How can there be such a thing?" Dong Chunhui was about to speak, but was stopped by Gu Ming raising his hand.
She was reluctant to marry herself. Dong Chunhui's face suddenly darkened.
For a while, he really regretted it, why couldn't he be more attentive when he was studying? Lin Enzhi is about the same age as him, but he was not only admitted to Xiucai and Renren in one go, but now he is already a county lieutenant.
And he has just obtained the identity of a child. And the identity of Tongsheng is useless except to show his identity as a scholar.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not worthy of you." He said gloomily and lowered his head.
"What do you say? Your parents are there, have you ever thought about how they felt? Gu Ming frowned and looked at him, "I know you are kind and want to help me...... But what about your parents? They have raised you until now, and they have spent so much effort to send you to study, is it just to make you a son-in-law? ”
"And yourself, what do you want after so many years of hard work? Is it just to put down the books and be a son-in-law with peace of mind? ”
"But if I don't, you're going to marry that shameless villain and be his concubine! How can you, a beautiful woman, be a concubine! It's too humiliating for you! Dong Chunhui suddenly raised his head and said excitedly.
"I know you want to help me, and I'm grateful to you." Gu Ming sighed and said, "However, this time, I can really solve it by myself...... And you, if you really want to repay me, you don't have to come to the door to be a son-in-law...... If you study hard, there will be more places that can help me in the future, so why worry? ”
"Really?" Dong Chunhui's eyes darkened, knowing that he would never have a chance to get her again.
The gap in background made him never have the desire to covet her. Although he yearns for her, he has always regarded her as a goddess high above, and silently worships her in the bottom of his heart.
But yesterday, he suddenly got the news that he had a chance! Moreover, the master of the Gu family is also willing!
Repaying the favor is actually just an excuse, the real reason, just because, he likes her.
He liked her, and then, there was an opportunity to be with her, and he was able to help her get rid of the fate of being a concubine.
Why refuse such a good thing?
However, he didn't expect that Fourteen Niang refused.
Having lost this opportunity, he will never have the chance to be with her again.
Raising his head and looking at her deeply, Dong Chunhui remembered Gu Ming's face deeply in his mind before he spoke: "In the future, if there is something that can be used for me, as long as you say it, go to the mountains and seas, and do not hesitate." ”
"Well, if I can use you in the future, I will definitely not be polite." Gu Ming also looked at him tightly, "So, before this, you must first study hard and make a name for yourself, so that in the future, you may have the opportunity to help me." ”
"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" Dong Chunhui promised loudly, turned around and walked away.
Aunt Dong, Dong Da, and Dong Da and Dong Sister-in-law, have not yet woken up from the shock of seeing Gu Ming, and Gu Ming has already persuaded Dong Chunhui.
Looking at the figure that he had left, several people in the Dong family didn't know whether it was better for them to catch up, or to stay and say a few words to Gu Shi Niang first. Anyway, the son is determined to be the son-in-law of the Gu family, and no one can dissuade him except Fourteen Niang.
And Fourteen Niang really dissuaded him.
"Fourteen Niang...... Thank you very much. Dong Da was a little grateful and a little embarrassed, looking at Gu Ming timidly, he felt that although the one in front of him was just a little girl, it was more imposing than the arrogant and domineering bullies and officials who were looking for him to collect this money and that fee than he had usually seen.
Such a good woman! If it weren't for the fact that the threshold of her family was too high, how good it would be to let Hui'er marry her and go home! Definitely a virtuous helper who is good at managing his family and teaching his children!
It's just a pity that Hui'er can't marry her now, and she doesn't want to delay Hui'er's future......
"This is true, my father was messing around and causing you trouble, and I have to apologize to you to be true." Gu Ming said, glancing at Gu Wang.
Gu Wang wished he could hide under the table.
"Fourteen Niang......" Aunt Dong is also very embarrassed. Fourteen Niang helped herself so much before, but she was ...... I still doubt her, thinking that she wants to use the little kindness she had to give to Hui'er to get rid of the fate that she had to marry Lin Enzhi!
However, compared with the bright and upright deeds of Fourteen Niang, what a small-bellied chicken intestine she is!
"Aunt Dong doesn't need to say much, fifteen is still young, you should go back and accompany her quickly." Gu Ming faced Aunt Dong with a faint expression, and she couldn't see any emotion.
Aunt Dong knows that the previous friendship will never come back from now on.
