Chapter 261: Mrs. Gao's Forced Marriage (1)
When Kong Sheng followed Gao Liang into Mrs. Gao's flower hall with a brute softness, Mrs. Gao was standing under the wall with a sad expression, staring at an old scroll. The scroll is a portrait of a Gongbi figure, showing a young woman in her twenties holding her noble hair in a bun, with almond eyes and spring, a round face and a plump body.
The young woman stood on the grass and stared into the distance, carrying a basket of flowers and holding the hand of a seven or eight-year-old girl with a double bun in the other.
Behind Mrs. Gao, Xue Li's face was desperate and sad, her head hung slightly, and her expression was gloomy.
Mrs. Gao called Kong Sheng to come to the house today and wanted to marry directly, which made Xue Li unable to resist and dare not be disobedient, and her heart was anxious and desperate to the extreme.
Kong Sheng and Gao Liang entered the hall and did not dare to disturb Mrs. Gao, so they had to wait aside.
After a long time, Mrs. Gao sighed lightly and turned around, with faint tears remaining in the corners of her eyes.
Kong Sheng bowed down and saluted: "I've seen the old lady!" ”
Mrs. Gao looked at Kong Sheng with pity, and pointed to the scroll of pictures on the wall, "Good grandson, this is my sister Ping, your grandmother!" At that time, Sister Ping was kind to me and recreated, but I didn't think that decades have passed, my sister has become ancient, and the two of us sisters said goodbye when we were gone! ”
Mrs. Gao couldn't cry silently, and shed two lines of tears again.
Kong Sheng looked up at the portrait on the wall, and felt a slight sigh of shame in his heart. Mrs. Gao's affection and righteousness are beyond his imagination, and when she came to Jiyin County, she inadvertently had an inexplicable intersection with this kind-hearted Mrs. Gao, and the future ...... Kong Sheng didn't want to think about it anymore.
If there is a choice. He was unwilling to continue to deceive this kind-hearted Mrs. Gao. Mrs. Gao treated him so sincerely, without the slightest selfish distraction.
Mrs. Gao was embarrassed when she thought of the past. It's hard to help yourself. finally waited for Mrs. Gao to calm down, and then beckoned Kong Sheng and Gao Liang to take a seat, and ordered the maid to serve tea.
The love in Mrs. Gao's eyes was overflowing. The more she was like this, the more ashamed Kong Sheng became.
"Good grandson, you are the only blood and bone of my sister Ping, and the old body can't watch you alone. Since you came to Jiyin County to take refuge in the old body, the old body has the responsibility to start a family for you. Mrs. Gao said softly. exchanged a knowing look with his son Gao Liang, and then said to himself: "Xueli is the same age as you, and her appearance is similar." You are all close relatives around the old body, and the old body will make the decision for you, and will marry Xue Li to you and get married one day. After getting married. The old body will choose a house for you outside the Gao Mansion and let you settle down. ”
Xue Li's shoulders trembled suddenly when she heard this, and her face was as pale as earth. She hung her head, almost collapsing to the ground with weakness.
Kong Sheng was a little stunned, he didn't expect Mrs. Gao to directly refer to the marriage this time.
Kong Sheng's brows furrowed, his heart flashed, and he didn't know how to say no. If you refuse directly, I am afraid that it will make Mrs. Gao sad. The second will arouse the suspicion of Mrs. Gao and the Gao family. You know, in terms of the identity that Kong Sheng is now disguised. Mrs. Gao married her adopted daughter to him and promised to help him start a family, which was something that Kong Sheng couldn't ask for.
Gao Liang smiled on the side and said, "Nephew of the Kong family, why don't you hurry up and thank your mother?" ”
Kong Sheng took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, suddenly bowed down, and said respectfully: "The old lady takes care of the kid, and the kid is sincerely grateful. It's just that the kid already has a crush in his heart, and he has made a lifelong agreement with someone, so he ...... So, please forgive the old lady! ”
Gao Liang's face changed.
Mrs. Gao frowned, and said in surprise: "Good grandson, you already have someone you like?" Who is it, tell the old body to hear. ”
Kong Sheng just said it casually, where did he think that Mrs. Gao would be so serious and ask the bottom of it.
In desperation, his mind flickered, his eyes fell on the brute rou, and his heart moved secretly.
Manrou followed Kong Sheng into the flower hall, because she was a maid, so she had been standing behind Kong Sheng and didn't dare to exceed the rules.
Kong Sheng pretended to be panicked and embarrassed, and his eyes swept a glance at the brute soft behind him, intentionally or unintentionally.
Gao Liang looked at the softly dressed scholar with clear eyebrows, and couldn't help blurting out: "Nephew of the Kong family, don't you have the good of Longyang?" ”
Burst!
Kong Sheng was made red-faced by the highlighted sentence "Longyang's goodness", and he laughed and laughed.
In ancient dynasties, powerful families kept prostitutes, and people with good sex and male sex abounded. Especially the openness of the Tang Dynasty, the goodness of Longyang and the habit of broken sleeves are also a relatively common social phenomenon. Therefore, Kong Sheng was so "posthumous", Gao Liang immediately thought of this.
Mrs. Gao's benevolent brows frowned, and she waved her hand: "Good grandson, to tell the truth, you are really ......"
If Kong Sheng really has a ...... with his own scholar That, in the eyes of Mrs. Gao, it became an unbearable one, and she directly lost her interest and enthusiasm for Kong Sheng's marriage.
Kong Sheng complained bitterly, he had an idea to push out Manrou as a shield, but he didn't want to become a despised gentleman of Longyang.
Kong Sheng hurriedly explained with a smiling face: "Old lady, third son, kid is not ......"
Kong Sheng suddenly got up and grabbed the shocked brute rou with a shocked face, and with the other hand tore off the head of her hair, the long black hair poured down, and the little scholar with clear eyebrows instantly turned into a charming girl ******.
Mrs. Gao and Gao Liang were dumbfounded.
She blushed and stood there with her head down, at a loss, not knowing what to do. Kong Shenglai's play is simply a stroke of genius, which she can't even dream of. But as Kong Sheng's mocking maid, she couldn't resist any of Kong Sheng's claims.
……
Kong Sheng's voice unhurriedly "narrated" the origin of Manrou and the various emotional journeys between himself and Manrou, his words were half-truths and half-false, and he did not avoid the origin of Manrou's Xi Nu, but the real key point was that he could only make up stories. It took him half an hour to round out his "excuse", and his excellent acting skills made Mrs. Gao and Gao Liang listen to it with relish and great sympathy.
In the eyes of Mrs. Gao's mother and son, Kong Sheng and Manrou are two lonely and helpless children, who met unexpectedly on the way, walked together in disguise, and depended on each other along the way, and their emotions became stronger and stronger. Since the two are in love and they are a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, the kind-hearted Mrs. Gao will naturally not be a wicked person who breaks up the marriage.
It's just that Mrs. Gao's next behavior made Kong Sheng even more embarrassed and helpless.
Mrs. Gao considered that Kong Sheng and the soft and lonely man and widow Guatian Li Xia got along day and night, and it was always a little inappropriate, and they had to get married as soon as possible. This is the kindness of the old lady.
Mrs. Gao looked at the helpless brute and softness of her pretty face, and then at Kong Sheng, and couldn't help but chuckle: "You two hard-working little couples are a match made in heaven, and they are destined for fate." In this way, the old man is your master, it is better to choose the day than to hit the day, and get married in the old mansion today, although it is a little hasty, but fortunately, you are already a de facto husband and wife, and you are not bound by these customs. ”
"The old man is a dowry for this child, and it will also be the expense of your family in the future. Okay, the old body is in charge. Liang'er, you go and get ready now! ”
Mrs. Gao's words made Kong Sheng's mouth open wide, and he didn't close it for a long time. With his composure, he is also restless as sitting on pins and needles.
There was a hint of helplessness and a strange brilliance in his soft eyes. (To be continued.) )
