Chapter 33: A Few Dishes
In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Mansion.
Gu Tong was drinking tea in the mansion, and a subordinate hurriedly ran over, "Master, the county commander Lord Liu is here." ”
"What?" Hearing this, Gu Tong was a little surprised, but after a pause, he also hurriedly put down the teacup and said, "Come with me." ”
Soon, he greeted him out of the mansion, and after seeing Liu Yuzhi, he smiled heartily, and bowed his hand and said: "Lord Liu is coming to the cold house, and it is shining." ”
"Where, Master Gu is too polite." Liu Yuzhi also had a smile on his face.
The two of them have never dealt with each other before, and they are already very familiar with each other, and after a polite greeting, Liu Yuzhi was also invited into the mansion by Gu Tong.
In the hall, the two sat down separately, and then the maid Xiaolan served tea.
At this time, Gu Tong also began to ask tentatively: "I don't know what happened when Lord Liu visited today?" ”
"Well...... this" Liu Yuzhi paused, and then decided to get straight to the point: "As far as this official knows, Ling Ai is still unmarried, right?" ”
I didn't expect him to say this, Gu Tong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and sighed slightly: "Yes, it's not too young, it's time to get married, in the past two years, there have been a lot of people who have proposed marriage, but they have all been disturbed by Gu Xue's child, and the old man is also heartbroken." ”
"Huh." Liu Yuzhi smiled and said: "Master Gu doesn't have to worry too much about the matter of making a daughter, as the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and sometimes, a good marriage is close at hand, but Master Gu himself doesn't know." ”
"Oh? What do you mean by this? Gu Tong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"There is one person who is in love with Ling Qianjin, who can be described as a talented woman and a pair made in heaven." Liu Yuzhi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Gu Tong's face sank slightly, as if he had thought of something, and Xiaolan, the maid who was making tea, was even tighter in her heart, and immediately straightened her ears.
"What Lord Liu said is Xiao Yuan, the captain of Liucheng, right?" Gu Tong glanced at Liu Yu strangely.
"Oh? Master Gu knows? Liu Yuzhi was slightly stunned.
"Humph!" Who knew that Gu Tong snorted coldly, and said unhappily: "Just that stinky boy!" No rudeness! I don't think so! ”
Although he said so, he did not refuse sternly, and there was a taste of annoyance in his tone.
When Liu Yuzhi heard this, he immediately said: "This, why can't this work?" In the opinion of this official, this is a match made in heaven, and General Xiao is a talent......"
"What a talent! This is Lord Liu's words, and I don't know what kind of crooked melon and cracked jujube it is! Gu Tong interrupted him.
"Haha-" When Liu Yuzhi heard this, he smiled on his back, and said with a smile: "Master Gu, you are really good at laughing, since this official is willing to take care of this idle matter, how can he tease you?" Besides, your Gu family's daughter is knowledgeable, and the person she likes, don't you need to say more, don't you still believe in your daughter's vision? ”
"This ......" his words made Gu Tong unable to refute, yes, that is the man that his daughter fancies, can it be a crooked melon and a cracked date?
He knew his daughter too well, and when he thought of this, although he was willing in his heart, he said: "In any case, that stinky boy was rude first, and this matter is not so easy to expose!" ”
When he said this, Liu Yuzhi was a shrewd person, and he had already spied on one or two, and while secretly laughing, he also said: "In this way, Master Gu, after I go back here, let General Xiao personally come to the door to apologize, what do you think?" ”
"Humph!" Gu Tong snorted coldly again, but he didn't respond, nor did he refuse.
Seeing this, Liu Yu's heart understood, and he immediately stood up, arched his hand and said: "In this case, the county government still has some official business to be busy, and it is inconvenient for this official to stay for a long time." ”
"Huh? Lord Liu, this is leaving? Gu Tong also hurriedly stood up.
On their side, they were talking about Xiao Yuan and Gu Xue, and after the maid Xiaolan made tea, they also hurriedly found Gu Xue.
As soon as they met, she said breathlessly: "Little ...... Miss, I heard it in the hall just now, Liu County ordered this to come, it turned out to be a proposal for Miss! ”
"What!?" Hearing this, Gu Xue was startled, and immediately became anxious, her two little hands clasped tightly together, and said anxiously: "No!" If Brother Xiao knew about this, what would he think. ”
"Oh, miss, don't worry." Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Liu County ordered him to help General Xiao say goodbye." ”
"Huh?" Gu Xue was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and said in surprise: "It's true!?" ”
"Uh-huh." Xiao Lan nodded repeatedly.
"So, did Daddy say yes?" She asked nervously.
"No...... I don't know what the master said, so I quit later. "Little Landau.
After speaking, she continued: "Miss, if it is, what if the master does not agree?" ”
"Humph! Then I'll elope with Brother Xiao! Gu Xue said with a slightly red face, and at the same time, she was so nervous about this matter in her heart.
The next day.
After Liu Yuzhi told Xiao Yuan the result, he also kindly reminded: "Gu Lao'er is like this on his face, but in fact, in my opinion, he is not against this family business in his heart, and he is kind and charitable, not to love the weak, but also to love his daughter, he loves tea, and when they meet for the first time, the general only needs to bring some good tea as a gift, if he has a heavy gift, it is not good." ”
"Understood, I'm going to prepare, this time, thank you so much, Lord Liu." Xiao Yuan said in a sincere tone.
"Huh? To be able to promote such good deeds, this official is very happy. Liu Yuzhi waved his hand.
Subsequently, Xiao Yuan took care of it carefully, changed into a set of clean clothes, and after preparing the gift, he came to Gu's mansion in person to visit Gu Tong.
This trip made him feel like he was meeting his future father-in-law, and it would definitely be a lie to say that he was not nervous at all.
He was nervous, and Gu Xue, who heard the news, was even more nervous than him, and he kept holding his little hands nervously in the mansion, pacing back and forth anxiously.
This time, Gu Tong did not welcome him out of the house, but asked the housekeeper to lead Xiao Yuan to the living room to serve tea.
After meeting, Xiao Yuan also hurriedly bowed his hand, gave a standard salute, and said: "I have seen my uncle, I have not visited before, it is really rude to the younger generation, I heard that my uncle loves tea, so I specially chose some green leaves, I hope my uncle will not dislike it." ”
His attitude is polite and talented, under the ancient costume hosta and hairpin, it is never an exaggeration to say that the son is like jade.
When Gu Tong heard this, he first looked him up and down, looked him carefully, and then muttered in a low voice: "Hmph! That's pretty much it! ”
As he spoke, he also waved his hand: "Sit down." ”
"Yes." Xiao Yuan sat down as he said, and the atmosphere couldn't help but be a little awkward.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xue also walked in and began to make tea for the two of them.
She first helped her father pour tea, and when she arrived at Xiao Yuan's place, her face was red, her beautiful eyes were flowing, and she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yuan slightly ashamedly.
The latter smiled warmly and warmly.
After making tea, Gu Xue also gave a salute with her hand on her waist, glanced at Xiao Yuan again and retreated.
After he left, the next thing was nothing more than some parents, and between Gu Tong's words, they began to test Xiao Yuan in various ways.
The latter was neither humble nor arrogant, and after a conversation, Gu Tong also nodded secretly, and when it was noon, he naturally began to stay with Xiao Yuan for dinner.
The latter did not shirk, but began to frequently push cups and exchange lamps with Gu Tong during the banquet.
After going back and forth, the two of them gradually drank a little higher.
This is half the story.
Outside the hall, seeing that her father and beloved man had been drinking endlessly, Gu Xue couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Are they still drinking?" ”
The maid replied: "Yes, Miss, this old man and General Xiao ......"
"It really is!" Gu Xue stomped her feet, and also turned around and walked towards the hall.
After she came in, Gu Tong just laughed because of something, and when he saw his daughter, he was happy, and shouted: "Xue'er, you came just in time, go and tell the kitchen to heat up a few more dishes." ”
"Daddy! How long are you going to drink? Gu Xue said dissatisfiedly.
"This girl!" Gu Tong pretended to be dissatisfied and glared at her, and then drunk, and said to Xiao Yuan's cup:
"Come on, Brother Xiao, you and I have another drink......"
"What! What's Brother Xiao! Father! When Gu Xue heard this, she almost cried.
This is the man he loves and his father, if he calls him a brother, then he has to do it! What to do with your own happiness!
"Uh, hehe, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, it's for the father's mistake......"
