Chapter 17: Incidents (4)
"Cedar?" Old Lady Gu paused, immediately shook her head and said, "Cedar is not suitable." ”
"Why did the old lady say that? According to the daughter-in-law, in terms of age and appearance, they are quite compatible. Besides, Brother Teng and his six uncles have all reached this age, after all, they are from the Gu family, and if they don't do anything for him, others will talk about our Gu family. ”
Old Lady Gu's eyes narrowed, and there was infinite meaning in it: "Cedar looked at Wen Sven, in fact, he was rebellious, careful and deep-hearted. Besides, we have never been very close to him, but now we suddenly want to arrange a marriage for him, not to mention whether your uncle will already be planning a marriage for him, just say himself, look at us suddenly care about him like this, he must think a lot in his heart, if he knows the inside story, we will not be able to explain to your uncle at that time! ”
Old Mrs. Gu made up her mind as she spoke: "Come on, it's time for Brother Teng." Let's not talk about anything else, just based on the appearance of the girl of the Ning family, it is more than enough to match Brother Teng. Although the threshold of the Ning family is a little lower, the Ning family is a wealthy merchant in the county, and it can be regarded as a deep root and a prosperous family. It won't hurt you to let Brother Teng marry the Ning family. ”
Gu Er's grandmother asked, "That'...... The old lady is going to send a matchmaker to Ning's house now? ”
Old Lady Gu waved her hand: "No, let's wait and see what happens, if the Ning family refuses to give up with the Shen family, let's send a matchmaker over to let the Ning family see the way out, and it will be easier for the Ning family to relax." That's it, alas, I'm tired, you go out. ”
Gu Er's grandmother came out of the old lady's room with a sad brow, and just stepped out of the door, she suddenly saw Gu Xuesong in the yard.
I saw Gu Xuesong standing under the rose trellis in the yard, very focused, not knowing what he was doing. Second Grandma Gu was stunned for a moment, then walked over to take a look, but saw that Gu Xuesong was picking the worm in her heart.
Gu Xuesong's fingers were slender and his bones were distinct, holding a blooming rose with a focused expression. Rose Demon Ye, he was independent in his last life, and the maid who followed behind Gu Er's grandmother suddenly blushed.
Second Grandma Gu nodded and asked politely, "The luncheon should have already started, why is the sixth uncle here?" ”
Gu Xuesong picked out the little worm in the heart of the flower, threw it on the ground, stepped on it lightly, and then looked at Gu Er's grandmother and replied, "I won't go to the luncheon, I'm here to say goodbye to my aunt." When I first came over, I heard that my aunt was resting, so I walked around the garden and waited for her to wake up. ”
Gu Er's grandmother showed a hypocritical expression of regret: "Sixth Uncle just came, why don't you stay for a while?" This is leaving? Could it be that there is something wrong with the hospitality? ”
Gu Xuesong smiled faintly: "Second sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much, I still have something to do, so I can't delay more." ”
Second Grandma Gu sighed hypocritically and said, "Since that's the case, I can't force you to keep either." It's just that the old lady is still resting, and you're afraid you won't be able to see her for a while. ”
Gu Xuesong lowered his eyes and groaned, and then said: "Since this is the case, I will bother my second sister-in-law to pass on the offspring, and I will leave." ”
Second Grandma Gu nodded with a smile, and then walked side by side with Gu Xuesong to the old lady's courtyard, and said politely as she walked: "In the end, we are all a family, you can be more comfortable, you don't need to be so polite, it sounds weird." ”
Gu Xuesong just smiled faintly and didn't answer, walking with elegant and calm steps.
Second Grandma Gu glanced at Gu Xuesong, and said in a tentative tone: "The sixth uncle is not too young, but can he decide on someone?" Is there a favorite candidate on the uncle's side? ”
Gu Xuesong replied: "I mentioned it once a year ago, but it was not decided. ”
Second Grandma Gu pretended to be natural and tentatively said, "By the way, just now in the flower hall, did the sixth uncle notice a girl wearing a cyan robe?" ”
"The second sister-in-law is talking about the girl of the Ning family?" Gu Xuesong thought for a while and asked.
Second Grandma Gu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's the one from the Ning family." How did the sixth uncle know the girl's surname? ”
"Oh, I happened to bump into the two sisters in the garden with Brother Lang earlier."
“…… I see. However, there are so many guests here today, and you bumped into that Ning girl in your birth, which can't but be said to be a kind of fate. Gu Er's grandmother asked, "I don't know what Uncle Six's impression of that girl is?" ”
"That girl was so beautiful that no one could help but notice her in the crowd." Gu Xuesong replied a little casually, and then glanced at Gu Er's grandmother: "It's just that why did the second sister-in-law tell me this?" ”
Second Grandma Gu smiled very affectionately: "You are still unmarried, and the second sister-in-law is anxious for you." Actually, about your marriage, the second sister-in-law shouldn't have been in charge, but that Miss Ning is really outstanding, if she misses it, it would be a pity, so the second sister-in-law came to say more. Do you know, that Miss Ning is not only outstanding, but also innocent, her grandfather was a showman, and her family is also a wealthy businessman in Meigong County, with a deep foundation. ”
Gu Xuesong smiled faintly: "Since she is such a good girl, I'm afraid I don't deserve it." ”
"Look at what you said, you are a Gu family, and you were born like this. According to the second sister-in-law, except for the princess and county lord in the palace, there is no girl in this world that you are not worthy. ”
As Gu Er Grandma spoke, she kept looking at Gu Xuesong's expression with her eyes, but Gu Xuesong always had a smiling expression.
Grandma Gu Er sighed rather frustratedly and said, "Actually, I just mentioned it casually, if you don't have this heart, I can't make the decision for you." It's just that your age is not too young, if you have that meaning, just say it as soon as possible, if the eldest uncle in the capital has no time to arrange it for you, the second sister-in-law can help you Zhang Luo Zhang Luo first. Miss Ning is sixteen years old, and she was born with such a fairy appearance, and the person who proposed her relatives is afraid that she has broken through the threshold of the Ning family, if we don't Zhang Luo earlier, I'm afraid that she will be allowed to others. ”
After Gu Er's grandmother finished speaking, she nodded and walked away, Gu Xuesong stood in place, her expression seemed to be smiling, she shook her head, and left Gu's mansion.
Gu Er's grandmother said goodbye to Gu Xuesong, and went to Gu Huaiteng's room, wanting to ask a few words. However, as soon as I entered Gu Huaiteng's room, I saw this concubine leaning on the couch, his clothes were open, his fat was overflowing, and his face was full of obsession.
As soon as she saw him like this, Grandma Gu Er was angry! This Gu Huaiteng is not only stupid, but also stupid and fat. The entire Gu family, including the uncle in the capital, has a total of eight brothers, except for Gu Huaiteng, all of them are dignified, only Gu Huaiteng doesn't look like the Gu family, Gu Er's grandmother is angry when she sees him!
"Do you remember what I just told you?" Grandma Gu Er shouted loudly.
"Listen...... Heard clearly. After Gu Huaiteng saw Zhao Xiang'e, he was fascinated, and he was leaning on the couch and holding the quilt to have a gentle dream, when he was suddenly broken in by Gu Er's grandmother, and he was so frightened that he woke up immediately. And Gu Er's grandmother was chattering in his ear for a long time, he was upset, but he didn't dare to show it, so he kept his head drooping.
Seeing that he was not afraid of boiling water, Grandma Gu became even more angry, reached out to poke his fat forehead, and then rubbed the oil on his fingers in disgust on the handkerchief, and said hatefully: "Forget it, in short, you stay in the house these days, don't cause trouble." After Gu Er's grandmother finished speaking, she turned around and went out to the luncheon, never wanting to look at Gu Huaiteng again.
The carriage returned to the door of Ning's house, Ningxia Qing deliberately got off the car last, at this time Cuiyu was supporting the old lady, and the old lady was holding Zi'er, Ningxia Qing took advantage of this time to hand Ah Zheng a purse.
In order to avoid people's eyes, Ning Xia Qing stretched out his hand in a hurry, and his fingers inadvertently swept over his rough palm.
He felt a slight itch, the itch came from a few slender white fingers, he couldn't help but look up at Ningxia Qing, and Ningxia Qing had already gone to chase the old lady, the cyan robe seemed to be covered with forest mist with Ningxia Qing's slight steps, and he couldn't help but squint.
According to his instructions, he sent the purse to Fuqiao Street, and Zhao Xiang'e opened the purse, which contained a note and a piece of silver cake.
