0660, the second chapter Xiaoying
At this time, Gu Yangdao's face was strange, and he no longer had the previous arrogance and coldness, but the whole person was stunned, with an inexplicable embarrassed look.
He paused, his lips slightly open, but he seemed to freeze and stopped.
Mrs. Gu on the side saw that the situation was not right, and her heart tightened, at this time, she must not let these people know that they are here to withdraw from the marriage, and she must quickly save the matter.
She didn't care about considering the thoughts of the Luo family at this time, and quickly pulled down her face and picked up the words: "Haha, yes, yes, my lord has always praised people whenever he meets him, his Chenglong fast son-in-law is young and talented, and he has a bright future, especially the rare affection and righteousness, and he treats his fiancée really well, which is called a deep affection." Our family is here today, just to discuss a day with the Luo family, and quickly settle the marriage of their young couple, so that we can really come and serve our in-laws as soon as possible, husband and children, haha......"
Mrs. Gu said with a smile on her face, as if all this in her mouth had just happened.
The bitterness and aggressiveness she faced with Luo Yi's parents before a cup of tea had long disappeared, and she was replaced with a look of great appreciation and approval for Luo Yi, as if she had really always been very satisfied with her son-in-law.
It's just that between her words, a pair of Danfeng eyes, her eyes flickered, and she kept glancing at Luo's father and mother in secret. I hope that the other party can understand what he means and don't expose himself in front of everyone.
"yes...... Discuss marriage...... Marriage ......" Gu Yangdao was still a little embarrassed, but his wife's round was in the middle of the game, and Luo Tiezheng and his wife on the opposite side did not refute it, maybe there was still a little room for things to turn around?
Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope rose in Gu Yangdao's heart, he glanced at his beautiful and talented daughter, maybe Luo Yi admired Zhenzhen, and the divorce just now was just an angry word.
"Oh, that's the case......" Zheng Wenxuan, the housekeeper of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, hesitated slightly, but still nodded.
Li Fu, the housekeeper of the Golden Dome Prince's Mansion on the side, looked thoughtful.
These people are all shrewd and powerful characters in charge of all trivial matters in the Xuejing giants' mansion, and they are also all outstanding in Xuejing and have extraordinary thoughts.
They caught Gu Yangdao's look in an instant just now, but no matter what the reason, these housekeepers and principals would not open their mouths to get to the bottom of it, after all, the main purpose of their coming today was to send congratulations on behalf of the adults behind them.
Only the core figure of all these events today, Luo Yi, a young general who had a good encounter in the eyes of everyone and soared from then on, had an indifferent face, and there was a trace of imperceptible indifference in his eyes towards the Gu family.
"Mrs. Gu is just afraid that she is too forgetful, didn't you say that you were going to withdraw from the marriage a moment ago?" Luo Yi gently brushed the silver bracer on his wrist, as if the things in this bracer could bring him a steady stream of warmth and confidence.
"Divorce?!"
Zheng Wenxuan, the housekeeper of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and Ke Xian, a protégé of the Left Minister's Mansion, raised their eyes in shock and shouted in unison.
The deputy general Zhao Hongjie and the butler of the prince's mansion Li Fu on the side were also surprised and incredulous.
These mansion directors who are exquisite-minded and have always been meticulous in handling things are not without suspicion of Gu Yangdao's inadvertent embarrassed look.
But they never expected that the Gu family would come to the Luo family to withdraw from the marriage on the first day that Luo Yi had just been promoted to Guangming City and became the personal guard of the hall master of the Temple of Light.
Only Gu Zhenzhen, who had been bowing his head and being silent on the side, with a slightly bleak face, had already had mixed feelings in his heart at this time, what he said, the water that was spilled, he had just said it so decisively, and even insulted Luo Yi a little, and now he wants to save things with a few words from his parents, but I am afraid that it will be difficult......
"Uh...... Actually, it's just a joke......" Mrs. Gu was a little flustered, and hurriedly waved her hand, "This is a misunderstanding......
"Yes, yes, it's a misunderstanding. Gu Yangdao couldn't maintain the last trace of arrogance, and while grinning, he looked at his former son-in-law Luo Yi with embarrassed and tactful eyes.
Originally, Luo Yi entered the Flame Camp and became the prince's direct forbidden army, and was promoted to the captain of the squad in just a few months.
Now this Chenglong fast son-in-law has been transferred to the side of the hall master of the Temple of Light, and has become the guard next to the famous big man in the snow country, and his reputation is high and hot, you can imagine.
Whether the marriage can continue to be maintained at the moment is no longer what Gu Yangdao is most concerned about, I am afraid that Luo Yi will hold a grudge against his attitude and words and deeds towards himself and his wife and daughter who have just withdrawn from the marriage, and if it reaches the ears of that big man, maybe the official position he has worked so hard to sit on will be lost.
Between the flow of thoughts, Gu Yangdao looked at his subordinates Luo Tiezheng and Luo Yi's eyes, and became even more humble.
"What the hell is going on?" Li Fu, the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion, sighed slightly.
He really couldn't figure it out, it was rumored that a talented young man like Luo Yi was a talented young man like Luo Yi in the imperial capital, and there were many matchmakers who came to propose marriage on behalf of the official lady and the businessman's famous lady, and in the end, the Hualuogu family was also a talented and beautiful woman, a good story.
Especially Luo Yi's transfer to the Temple of Light, this is a heaven-sent opportunity that many people dream of, it stands to reason that Gu Yangdao should be grateful to Dade and more satisfied with this son-in-law.
"Hehe, Lord Gu doesn't know where I heard the news that I was expelled from the Flame Camp and offended His Royal Highness the Prince, so I hurriedly came to withdraw from the marriage so that I could clear up the ......" Luo Yi showed a hint of an indifferent smile and said everything that happened in the hall before.
Except for Luo Tiezheng and his wife, who shook their heads slightly and sighed, the other housekeepers all had a look of sudden realization and understanding.
At this moment, everyone's eyes looked at Gu Yangdao's family and became weird.
Zheng Wenxuan, the housekeeper of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, glanced at Luo Yi, who had a cold face, and then at Gu Yangdao, who was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, and smiled helplessly.
Regarding Gu Yangdao, the deputy minister of public security, he had also heard about it before.
Although he does not have any major problems with military discipline, he does have some problems in his style of acting.
In the barracks of his Ministry of Public Security, there were some young generals who complained about Gu Yangdao's snobbish style, and although they did not accuse him with righteous words on the surface, when they passed on it in private, the rumors leaked out.
As soon as this oolong incident of divorce came out, looking at Luo Yi's cold attitude, I am afraid that when the Gu family came to withdraw from the marriage before, they fell into the well and completely offended the Luo family.
In fact, for those of them who are used to seeing the game between big shots, offending the Luo family is nothing.
It's just that if this divorce incident reaches Luo Yi's new boss, the Lord of the Bright Temple Ye Hall who is treated by the giants of the Snow Country's Imperial Court, Gu Yangdao really planted himself in it.
Deputy General Zhao Hongjie glanced at Gu Yangdao, whose expression was a little stiff, and the pale, embarrassed expression, Mrs. Gu and Gu Zhenzhen, who looked up in shame, also shook their heads slightly.
He had long heard of Gu Yangdao's sergeant road, and the reason why he was able to sit in today's position was mostly due to Deputy Minister Gu's drill camp and thoughts. Risky to withdraw from the marriage today, and the news will spread tomorrow, and after it spreads all over Xuejing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will inevitably receive the news.
Especially as we all know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Snow Country today cares about the Lord of the Bright City Ye Palace, and offending the Lord of the Bright God Temple means offending His Royal Highness the Prince.
Although the crown prince has always been fair in the country's military and political affairs, a sergeant like Gu Yangdao who works hard and worships high and low is afraid that his official career in the future will be useless no matter how much effort he spends.
Ke Xianju, a protégé of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and Li Fu, the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion, glanced at each other, and they also looked slightly regretful.
The engagement between the Gu family and the Luo family was originally Gu Yangdao's deliberate brilliant pen, but he acted recklessly and made a bad move, but now instead of climbing the high branch of the Luo family, he offended Luo Tiezheng and his wife and Luo Yi, and it was really a mistake to steal chickens and rice.
Once this divorce incident spreads, the other generals and important ministers in Xuejing will think about it and have scruples, in the future, Gu Yangdao's only daughter, Gu Zhenzhen, wants to marry a famous family, but I am afraid that it will be even more difficult.
And in the minds of several big people present, how could Gu Yangdao not think of it.
Today's words and deeds and divorce have offended the Luo family, and indirectly offended the Lord of the Temple of Light and His Royal Highness the Prince, the future of his own sergeant, and the lifelong happiness of his daughter in the future can be described as bleak.
"Brother Tie Zheng...... There may have been a misunderstanding between us before......" Gu Yangdao saw that Luo Yi's attitude was so cold and resolute, and turned his head to look at his subordinate Luo Tiezheng, hoping that he would remember that he was his boss and persuade him.
Luo Tiezheng glanced at the embarrassment and humility of Gu Yangdao, who had always been above the top and snobbish in his heart, hesitated slightly, then sighed softly, looked at his son, and couldn't help but be a little shaken: "Yi'er, or ......."
"Father, you don't need to persuade me, I have made up my mind. Luo Yi looked at his father, his eyes were firm, he shook his head slightly, and motioned to his father not to persuade him anymore.
Luo Yi's parents glanced at each other and finally remained silent.
At first, Luo Tiezheng was worried that his son's resolute attitude would anger Gu Yangdao's family and affect Luo Yi's future.
But he thought about it, now his son has become the entourage of the master of the Temple of Light, although the official rank is not high, but the actual status has already been many times higher than Gu Yangdao, in other words, Luo Yi at this time does not need to be taboo and afraid of the Gu family at all.
"Luo Yi, you are in love with Zhenzhen, and it is a match made in heaven to become a couple, our previous words and deeds have offended a lot, don't take it to heart......" Mrs. Gu smiled all over her face, and tightly squeezed the moon-white brocade scarf in her hand.
"Mrs. Gu, the divorce is a fait accompli, the moon is difficult to complete, and the water is difficult to collect, so please don't say more. Luo Yi's eyes looked elsewhere, and his attitude was still resolute.
Gu Zhenzhen, who had not said a word from beginning to end, kept staring at the hem of her gauze skirt with her head buried in her, the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, but everyone didn't notice that the hands in her water sleeves had already been clenched into fists, her finger bones were white, and she trembled slightly.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little silent and awkward.
The big shots who originally came to congratulate were also silent at this time.
Luo Tiezheng glanced at the few big people sitting in the hall, and his mind changed, today is Luo Yi's first day as the head of the Hall of Light's personal guard, if the impact will be expanded because of the divorce, it will not be good after all, and acting decisively just after being transferred may not be a good thing for Luo Yi's reputation.
"Lord Gu, since today's divorce is a foregone conclusion, it can only show that the fate of the two juniors is shallow, and I hope that Miss Gu will be able to find a genius son-in-law in the future, and then the Luo family will definitely prepare a generous gift and come to congratulate in person. Luo Tiezheng smiled slightly, his words were tactful, but his attitude was resolute, obviously there was no room for turning around in the matter of the marriage contract.
"In that case, it's really a pity......" Li Fu, the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion, hurriedly answered and started a round, "Originally, a few of us were going to wait to come to Luofu to drink wine, but Luo Yi, you don't have to be too sad, I know a lot of famous daughters in the imperial capital, if you have a favorite woman in the future, you can tell me, I will personally come to the door to tell you the matchmaker, haha......"
"Yes, yes, now that you have been transferred to the Temple of Light, I am afraid that we will not be needed to talk about matchmakers in the future, and the threshold of your Luo Mansion will be broken by the matchmakers, haha......" Zheng Wenxuan, the housekeeper of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, also posted, with a kind attitude.
"That's right, Luo Yi is still young, and his career is immeasurable, especially with the side of the Lord of the Temple of Light, he will definitely have a great achievement in the future, but I am afraid that at that time, the famous family who came to talk about the matchmaker will make the two of you dazzled!" Ke Xianju, a protégé of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, gently put down the white porcelain teacup in his hand, looked at Luo Tiezheng and the two couples and smiled slightly.
Deputy General Zhao Hongjie also nodded, "I saw that day, we had to come over in person to help the two of them check the gates, and pick a beautiful woman for Luo Yi who is beautiful and wise." ”
Luo Tiezheng and his wife looked at each other and smiled, obviously they were still a little unaccustomed to the kindness and kindness of these important figures in the imperial capital.
But in this matter, the attitude of the henchmen of these royal court giants who spoke one after another has fully demonstrated that Luo Yi's status at this time is special enough for them to treat them differently.
At this time, Gu Yangdao was also clear about the one-sided situation in front of him, even if he was unwilling, he also knew that the marriage contract was no longer able to return to the sky.
Gu Zhenzhen, who was still hanging his head on the side, and his eyes were already slightly red, and his eyes were full of unwillingness, chagrin and resentment.
Gu Zhenzhen listened to his parents' almost whispered redemption several times, but Luo Yi was still so ruthless, he couldn't help but slander himself.
Could it be that once this Luo Yi attained the Tao, his eyes were above the top and he looked down on the Gu family?
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Luo Mansion Hall became extremely awkward.
Gu Yangdao looked at the other people who were eagerly communicating, and then looked at the three of his own family who were completely left out in the cold, and suddenly understood that he and his wife and daughter would no longer have the face to stay in Luofu.
"Brother Tie Zheng...... And my lords...... It's not too early, so we'll say goodbye first......" Gu Yangdao slowly stood up, with a trace of regret and embarrassment on his face.
"This ...... Or ......" Mrs. Gu on the side hurriedly put down the teacup and looked at her master with a hint of eagerness, trying to hint that he was fighting for it.
Gu Yangdao didn't squint, but he already understood what Madame meant, shook his head slightly, and took the lead out of the hall.
"Hey......" Mrs. Gu sighed and bowed slightly to everyone.
Then he hurriedly pulled Gu Zhenzhen to chase after him.
Outside the Luo Fu Gate.
The moonlight was cold, and the candles of the rune lanterns on both sides of the street became brighter and brighter, and the blue-gold stone slabs were reflected by the candles, emitting bursts of faint orange-yellow halos.
Gu Zhenzhen, who seemed to be full of grievances and was finally released after holding back for a long time, finally cried out, and two rows of bean-sized eyes kept pouring out from the bottom of his eyes.
"I blame you...... I blame you!" Gu Zhenzhen cried sadly, sobbing and complaining, "If you hadn't easily listened to the rumors and rashly took me to withdraw from the marriage, would I be so embarrassed today...... Whining...... Now it's okay, how will I marry in the future......"
"That's it, it's all your fault!" Mrs. Gu also seemed to have endured for a long time, ignited by Gu Zhenzhen's crying and complaining, and also wailed towards Gu Yangdao, "Where did you hear the rumors, this daughter's happiness has been ruined by you!"
Gu Yangdao, who was standing on the blue-gold stone road, had an extremely bleak face, and he looked like he was suffering, "You still blame me, if you hadn't spoken so ugly before, would Luo Yi have such a tough attitude?"
"Yes, you are to blame Mother...... It's too snobbish to speak...... It's so offended, woo...... has always been so domineering...... Can the Luo family not blame us?" Gu Zhenzhen is like a child who has lost his beloved toy, and the nameless evil fire is scattered all over the place.
"Shut up, you still blame your mother, you don't want to think about what your attitude towards Luo Yi was before, and you fell into the well one by one, this is the fundamental reason why Luo Yi has no attachment to you!" Gu Yangdao seemed to be furious, his eyebrows were upside down, his chest fell together, and his face was a little red.
"It's still possible
