Feeling that he had grasped the point of the matter, Su Mian rolled his eyes and asked a little tentatively, "Say...... Are you also old enough to marry a wife? ”

It's good that she didn't mention this, but as soon as she mentioned it, Gu Zhao's expression was a little displeased.

"What? Even you want to educate me? Gu Zhao's tone was a little rushed, and he thought that Su Mian had heard something recently, and like those people, he came to persuade him to choose a concubine.

Sensing that his tone was not friendly, Su Mian was not angry, but just smiled casually, and then said, "What is there to educate here?" If you want to marry, if you don't want to marry, you won't marry, I just want to tell you that if you really have this mind in the future, you must choose what you like, not what others impose on you. ”

"Imposed on me?" Gu Zhao was stunned.

"That's right." Su Mian nodded undeniably: "I guess...... Your future wife will surely be the daughter of a minister or a general, right? Maybe there's more than one ......."

Gu Zhao paused slightly, after all, he was still a little young, and he always felt a little embarrassed to mention this topic, but he didn't want to show timidity in front of Su Mian, so he pretended to be calm and replied: "I don't have any plans to choose a concubine now." ”

"If you don't have it, you don't have to, it's okay." Su Mian looked at him with a smile: "I won't eat it if I have it in the future, but ...... Since it is a person who wants to be by his side for a lifetime, he naturally can't be too hasty, even if there are three thousand beauties in the harem, even if it is good, but a couple for a lifetime may not be a good choice, what do you say? ”

Gu Zhao is a good seedling in Su Mian's heart, and she naturally hopes that he can also have the good characteristics of a good man in his heart in this regard, that is, single-mindedness.

"One life and one couple......" Gu Zhao muttered these words, and suddenly asked rhetorically: "So Uncle Huang can't tolerate anyone else in his eyes except you?" ”

Unexpectedly, he also learned to draw inferences, Su Mian's cheeks were hot, and he suddenly glanced at him a little angrily: "I'm talking about your problem, why did you suddenly pull it on me!" ”

Without waiting for Gu Zhao to reply, he quickly changed the topic to: "Anyway, I just want you to be single-minded in the future, good men have to be single-minded, if you marry the daughter of a certain family for some hardship or other reason, but you don't like it, wouldn't it be a little irresponsible to let her live alone in this harem?" Maybe she could have married the person she liked, so that she was responsible for others and yourself, right? ”

Thinking of the dismal fate of the women in the palace fighting dramas she had seen in modern times before, Su Mian shook her head again and again in her heart.

I don't want to see this kid Gu Zhao become a big scumbag!

The students cultivated by themselves must be excellent in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor! Feudal thinking is unacceptable!

Gu Zhao has been exposed to the open and secret battles in this harem since he was a child, and his mother was not favored in the first place, which made the harem live so bleakly.

I thought that I would go down such a path in the future, but now a person told him that he hoped that he would find someone he really liked.

Be responsible for others and be responsible for yourself.

His eyes flickered for a moment, and Gu Zhao nodded lightly, keeping this sentence in his heart.

Su Mian would never have thought that it was precisely because of his words today that in the next few years, Gu Zhao would withstand the pressure of the court, and no matter what, he would not admit a concubine into the palace.

It wasn't until I met someone I really liked during a private trip that it took a lot of effort to make the woman who felt depressed in the palace and couldn't be idle all day long, and had a somewhat similar personality to Su Mian, to become the queen of this Western Sage.

But that's all for another time.

At the moment, the two of them rode out of the long and silent streets of the palace on a high-pitched aunt, and walked for a while before finally arriving at the lively street market.

Tethered the horse to the corner of the street, Su Mian proposed that the two of them walk down the street together.

Gu Zhao nodded in agreement, silently observing everything around him.

The last time he left the palace, it seems to be last year......

Every time he hears the ministers under him talk about the country's peace and security, he rarely understands what the scene of the real "country's peace and security" is.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the restaurants on both sides of the road wafted the fragrance, and the shopkeeper stood enthusiastically at the door of the store to solicit customers.

The roadside stalls are also fried and fried, and the stall owners almost do their best to attract pedestrians coming and going on the street.

Su Mian had the intention of taking Gu Zhao to "experience life" today, so she deliberately did not take him to those big restaurants, but sat down at a stall that looked inconspicuous.

There were already quite a few people in the stall, and they were lucky to find the last table.

"You don't want to use it here...... Lunch? Some habits can't be changed, Gu Zhao swallowed back the word "lunch" on his lips and replaced it with "lunch." ”

Su Mian smiled, nodded unknowably, and without waiting for Gu Zhao to question, he shouted to the somewhat elderly boss: "Boss, I want two bowls of noodles here!" ”

"Okay! Girl, wait a minute! The boss agreed angrily, and then turned his hand and put the freshly pulled noodles into the pot.

Gu Zhao swept around with a look of disgust, and then looked at the restaurant not far away, and was a little unable to sit still.

Seeing his discomfort, Su Mian smiled and comforted: "Don't be in such a hurry, I bet with you, the noodles here must be delicious, if they are not delicious, how about I invite you to eat that restaurant?" ”

"I ...... I don't need you to treat me. He almost revealed his identity, but fortunately, Gu Zhao only said half a word and changed his words.

Su Mian almost laughed out loud, and was about to say something, when the boss had already brought two large bowls of noodles to the table.

"Girl, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold." The boss was enthusiastic, and told Su Mian, and when he turned his head, he saw Gu Zhao, and immediately praised him: "This is your brother!" She looks so handsome! There will be great achievements in the future! ”

"Thank you, uncle, for borrowing your auspicious words!" Su Mian responded with a smile.

Gu Zhao was a little dissatisfied, and when he saw Su Mian smiling so happily, he was even more panicked.

Who is going to be the brother of this stupid woman?

Su Mian naturally knew his careful thoughts, but he didn't break it, but just changed the topic and said: "Eat noodles quickly, it's very delicious at first glance!" ”

When she passed by this noodle stall, she noticed that there were a lot of things on the boss's operating table, and when she saw that the stall was full, she immediately guessed that this place must taste good.

At this moment, looking at the bowl of noodles in front of me, I am more determined in my heart.

The green vegetables are paired with a golden omelette, and some unknown pickles are served with some chopped green onions and millet peppers, which are scalded in hot oil, and the smell is a burst of aroma.

Seeing that Su Mian was already eating with chopsticks, Gu Zhao also stirred it up like her, picked up a piece of noodles and sent it to his mouth.

The entrance is salty and fragrant with a slight spicy taste, and the noodles are just right, very chewy, and they are not worse than the imperial chef in the palace.

"How? Is it similar to what you usually eat, or even more delicious? Seeing his expression, he knew that he must also think it was delicious, Su Mian asked with a deliberate smile.

His eyes flickered for a moment, and he nodded slightly, his expression a little unnatural.

Although he has an arrogant personality, he will not say that this bowl of noodles is not delicious in front of other people's bosses.

The pickles in the bowl, the omelette, are much more delicious than the precious ingredients that are usually used to accompany the noodles in the palace.

"Old man, how long have you been setting up this stall here?" Su Mian suddenly asked loudly.

"I'm ......" The old man is also a talker, hearing her ask, he really calculated it carefully, thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "It's almost forty years, I can't remember clearly, I will make this bowl of noodles in my life, I can eat it just by making it, and everyone is willing to join ......."

"Then you're too modest, I think your bowl of noodles may be better than the imperial chef in the palace!" Su Mian praised without hesitation, and glanced at Gu Zhao thoughtfully.

When the old man heard Su Mian's applause, he naturally laughed and waved his hand: "The girl is really joking, how can I compare with the imperial chef in the palace when I am paralyzed, the emperor will definitely not look down on my pickle omelette here!" ”

Gu Zhao's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and the emotions in his heart were a little complicated for a while.

After eating the noodles, he left a large amount of silver on the table, and then left with Su Mian.

The two men continued to walk forward, intending to go out from the gate and look at the fields planted outside the gate.

The old man said...... His noodle stall has been open for almost 40 years, and he will only make this bowl of noodles for the rest of his life...... What do you think? The further out of the city, the quieter it became on both sides of the road, Su Mian suddenly asked.

Gu Zhao paused slightly, pondered for a while, and then spoke: "Although it is just a business to make a living, one thing has persisted for forty years, but it has not been changed to something else halfway, and it has won the love of many people, but it is also worthy of admiration." ”

Very satisfied with his answer, Su Mian smiled, and then continued to speak: "Yes, any thing, as long as you stick to it, is admirable, I believe that you are the same, no matter how many years, you will definitely become a great emperor in the future and be praised by people." ”

Gu Zhao's footsteps paused, stood in place, turned his head to look at her, and something seemed to flash in his heart.

No matter how many years...... He will definitely become a great emperor in the future......

Did she want to tell herself that her uncle was not interested in the throne, and that she would stay in this position forever......

That's what she's coming out of today on his own?

Knowing that Gu Zhao was a smart person, he would understand what he meant with a little mention, and Su Mian knew that he had understood what he wanted to say just by looking at his eyes.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time, and then Gu Zhao withdrew his gaze and walked forward with his feet again, with a smile on his lips, faintly overflowing the four words that Su Mian had just said to the old man.

"Lend you good words."
