Chapter 548: Invitation
With Gu Xinian's dislike for Shen Changan, it is inevitable to speak out against it at such a time.
"There's no need to rush on this matter." Gu Xinian restrained his smile and said lightly: "Yu'er's heart is still small, and it is not too late to stay in the cabinet for a few more years." As for delaying the marriage or something, there is no need to worry. If Shen Changan had this heart, he wouldn't care if he waited a few more years. ”
"That's not what I said." When it came to this issue, Ye Qinglan had the opposite opinion from Gu Xinian: "Even if Shen Changan doesn't mind waiting a few more years, we can't let Sister Xiyu become an old girl and marry again!" Now that you have a family affair and a reputation, you can get married at any time. Even for the sake of Sister Yu's reputation, it shouldn't be delayed any longer. ”
The party Gu Xiyu thought so deeply and nodded in agreement.
Gu Xinian glanced at Gu Xiyu, Gu Xiyu nodded abruptly, and obediently lowered his head.
Only then did Gu Xinian retract his gaze and continue the topic just now: "Whether Shen Changan is a good match for Yu'er depends on his future appearance." In short, there is no need to rush to settle a family affair now. ”
Speaking of which, I just don't want to happily marry my baby sister to Shen Changan, and I just want to delay it! In fact, everyone present knew very well in their hearts that although Gu Xiyu and Shen Changan had very different temperaments, they were happy with each other. Who else will Gu Xiyu marry if she doesn't marry Shen Changan?
According to Ye Qinglan's past temperament, she will definitely have a-for-tat dispute with Gu Xinian at this time. However, the married life in the past six months has made the two of them have a lot of temperament. At the moment when the four eyes met, there was a tacit decision. If there are any differences, it is better to wait until you are alone in private......
Mrs. Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Marriage is not a child's play after all. It stands to reason that General Shen is not in the capital. It is indeed inconvenient to carry out the matter of marriage. However, the matter is urgent. There are times when there are exceptions. It's inconvenient for our woman to take the initiative to come forward, so let's find an opportunity to hint to Shen Changan in private, and let him go to the official media to come to the door to propose! ”
As soon as these words came out, the three of them reacted very differently.
Gu Xiyu is pretty face was shining, Ye Qinglan was smiling, but Gu Xinian's face sank instantly, and he opened his mouth to oppose without thinking: "Mother, this matter is still considered in the long run......
"Xi Nian," Mrs. Zheng interrupted Gu Xi Nian gently and decisively, "I know that you have always had no good impression of Shen Changan. To be honest, I don't particularly like him either. But Yu'er likes him and is willing to marry him. Judging from his watch, he also likes Yu'er very much. As long as he is good to Yu'er, it is more important than anything else. Our wishes are not as important as Yu'er's happiness. You say, don't you? ”
Mrs. Zheng has always been gentle and easy-going, even if she is comforting, it is like a gentle breeze and drizzle. Seeing that Gu Xinian was about to refute, he lightly added two sentences: "You and Qinglan's family affairs." If I want to object, I may not find a reason to object. However, since you like it so much, I, as a mother, am reluctant to disappoint. It's the same for Yu'er now! ”
Gu Xinian was speechless.
Gu Xiyu smiled sweetly: "Mother." Are you really going to make me betrothed to him at the end of the year? ”
A hint of pity appeared in Mrs. Zheng's eyes: "Yu'er, you sue me, are you really willing to marry him?" ”
Gu Xiyu nodded without thinking.
Mrs. Zheng smiled slightly: "That's the case." Then leave this matter to your eldest brother! Find a time to invite him to your home and ask your father to stay with you. ”
The so-called escort guests. On the scene, of course. In fact, it is a son-in-law!
Gu Xiyu nodded happily, without the shyness of her daughter to be married. Gu Xinian did not say anything against it. The face is really not good-looking. Because of the bad mood, I was a little impetuous all day.
In the afternoon, it happened that Shen Changan ordered someone to quietly send him a message. said that he was invited to go to Yipinlou for a drink at night. This is also the code that the two of them have agreed on, as long as there is a letter sent back from the border gate, or there is a letter that needs to be sent to General Shen, they will take advantage of this time period to meet.
The time on duty had passed, but Gu Xinian did not leave immediately, and waited for half an hour before going to Yipinlou. As expected, Shen Changan really came early, and he waited for a long time to see the posture.
Shen Changan's disguise skills have never been very clever, although he tried his best to hide the anxiety in his heart with a smile, his eyes betrayed his true feelings.
Gu Xinian glanced at him, his heart finally calmed down, and asked bluntly, "Has General Shen sent a letter again?" ”
Shen Changan nodded, carefully took out a letter from his arms, and sent it to Gu Xinian. In order to avoid people's eyes, there was not even a signature on the letter.
Serious matter, Gu Xinian didn't say half a word of nonsense, and quickly opened the letter and read it. After reading it, he put the letter paper next to the candlestick and ignited it, and burned it to ashes before he was completely relieved.
Shen Changan couldn't suppress his curiosity, and asked tentatively, "What did my father say in the letter?" "The war reports from the border have not been good, and there is no need to elaborate on the fluctuation of the hearts of the people in the DPRK and China. The prince has been reprimanded again and again recently, and he has not had a good life in disgrace. On the contrary, the faction of the three princes began to assemble their camp and impeach the prince with great fanfare, and some of the bold ones even bluntly said that the prince's overseer was unfavorable and needed to be replaced......
Being in the court, Shen Changan is also clear about these things. However, he always felt that it must not be so simple behind this matter. Not to mention anything else, even Gu Xinian and his father have exchanged five or six letters privately. What are the things discussed in this letter? Why should he be kept in the dark?
As usual, such questions are destined to go unanswered.
Gu Xinian didn't answer and asked: "Are you free the day after tomorrow?" ”
This sudden question made Shen Changan stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "Recently, the border war is urgent, and the military department is busy recruiting new soldiers, I have to be responsible for recruiting and training these things, and the next month or two will probably be very busy." ”
"A month or two?" Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and smiled suddenly. Somehow, that smile made Shen Changan feel a little bad inexplicably. Sure enough, I heard Gu Xinian say slowly: "I was going to invite you to the mansion as a guest, since you are so busy, then forget about this matter......"
What the? Visiting the Dingguo Mansion? Or did Gu Xinian take the initiative to open his mouth to invite?!
Shen Changan was so excited that he almost bit his tongue: "Free and free!" I'm free! ”
Gu Xinian asked very understandingly: "Are you sure you are really free?" ”
Shen Changan nodded again and again, and said in a series of words: "Of course it's certain." Whether it's noon or evening the day after tomorrow, I'll be free! Although he hadn't figured out why Gu Xinian suddenly opened his mouth to invite him to be a guest, such a rare good thing would only be pushed out by a fool.
Speaking of which, although he was in the same capital, he hadn't seen his dear sister Gu for a long time. If you have the opportunity to come to the door this time, you must find a chance to talk to Gu Xiyu. It's good to even sneak a look!
Shen Changan's heart was full of joy, not to mention how bright his smile was.
Such a bright smile fell in Gu Xinian's eyes, but it was a bit of an eyesore. Gu Xinian snorted lightly, and his face suddenly sank: "I still have something to go first." ”
The temper is really weird, turning your face like turning a book! Shen Changan muttered secretly in his heart, and asked anxiously at Gu Xinian's back: "Then I'll go over the morning after tomorrow." ”
He was answered by a slamming door!
Shen Changan: "......"
Forget it, my eldest brother's temper has always been bad, so you don't have to take it to heart. Shen Changan comforted himself in his heart, and when he thought of the trip to the Dingguo Mansion the day after tomorrow, he immediately became excited again.
Dear Sister Gu, I'm here!
I won't mention how difficult the next two nights and days were.
On this day, Shen Changan specially took a whole day off, got up before dawn, punched, took a shower, changed into a brand-new military uniform, and combed his half-length hair neatly. Looking at himself in the mirror, he felt that Yushu was chic and extraordinary in the wind, and he smiled smugly, and then he was ready to go out.
Coincidentally, as soon as he got on horseback, the little guy in the porter ran to report: "Meng Gongzi is here." ”
Shen Changan was stunned for a moment, immediately got off the horse, and ordered: "Hurry up and invite Meng Gongzi in." ”
Before the words fell, a familiar hearty laugh sounded: "No need to please, I'm already here." ”
Shen Changan grinned, turned around, and unceremoniously slapped Meng Zijun's shoulder with his fist: "Good boy, you are now a big celebrity in the Criminal Department, and it is not easy to see you on weekdays." ”
Meng Zijun often runs outside, and he is a little darker and thinner, but he is very energetic. smiled and punched back twice: "It's rare for me to take a day off a month, so I'm not coming to see you." ”
If it was on weekdays, it was rare for Mencius to come to see him on duty, he would definitely be very happy, and he would have ordered someone to prepare food and wine. But today I was anxious to go to the Dingguo Mansion, and I was really in no mood to talk to Mencius. coughed and said, "I'm embarrassed today, I got a guest at someone's house today, and I really don't have time to accompany you." ”
Meng Zijun glanced Shen Changan up and down, and saw that he was dressed casually and casually, and the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden, and he suddenly realized in his heart: "Shouldn't you go to your future father-in-law's house?" ”
Shen Changan's mouth was almost full of laughter: "You guessed it, this time it wasn't me who took the initiative to come to the door, it was the future eldest brother who opened his mouth to invite me to be a guest." ”
Meng Zijun sighed and asked interestingly: "According to this, isn't it possible for you and your sister Gu to have a relationship?" ”
Judging from Gu Xinian's personality and temper, if he didn't give in, how could he take the initiative to invite Shen Changan to be a guest? (To be continued......)
