"I don't understand what you're saying." Listening to Gu Furao's words, Scholar Gu's brows furrowed even tighter: "What is called being blind to the intelligence of the ninth sister?" No matter how smart she is, she is still a girl, and she is not a man who can stand up to the door, or she is a little smarter than her sisters in the family? In the end, it's not about marrying someone else's family. Could it be that you still expect her to marry those two? Be a queen in the future? You are really tall, where can you climb such a high branch casually. ”

"The concubine doesn't want to climb the high branches," Mrs. Gu sighed and replied, "Master is right. The ninth sister is smart, but she is also a girl, and she still has to marry in the end. It's just that the ninth sister is so smart, and the concubine originally had higher expectations for her, and originally wanted to carefully choose someone to marry her, but now she ...... Alas! According to the concubine, the Anguo Mansion is naturally a first-class good family, if they look at the sixth sister, the concubine is really sorry. But the ninth sister ...... Master, you don't know that when a girl gets married, if she wants to live well after getting married, then her mother's family must be able to stand. Marriage is the good of the two surnames, and the girl who marries out has a great role. ”

"According to the family of our family, plus the appearance of the ninth sister, which of the Manchu Dynasty is not successful? No matter which one it is, you will be happy if you hire the ninth sister. And a smart girl like Sister Jiu'er married in the past, so she naturally knows how to plan for herself and her mother's family. After all, she is the daughter of our Gu family, the better the Gu family, the more faceless she will naturally have in her in-law's family. But if she marries the Anguo Mansion......"

Needless to say, of course Scholar Gu understood what his husband meant, and the husband and wife sighed heavily at the same time, and the two of them lowered their heads together, their expressions were complicated, and they didn't say anything for a long time.

It wasn't until a long time later that Scholar Gu slowly spoke: "Yes...... Marrying into the Anguo Mansion is always different from marrying into someone else's family. The daughter-in-law of their family didn't pay attention to the family in the first place, and it didn't matter if the mother's family could stand up. If the ninth sister marries, it will really become water spilled out, where can the Anguo Mansion allow her to spend her time planning for her mother's family. I'm afraid that one day, the Gu family will fall, and Mrs. Mu of Anguo Mansion still thinks it's a good thing. ”

"It's one thing to tolerate her planning for her mother's family," Mrs. Gu also said in a low voice: "After she gets married, the most important thing is that she doesn't need to plan for her mother's family." There is no need, the Anguo Mansion will not value her more because she is the granddaughter of a university scholar, nor will it look down on her because of something going on with our Gu family. The Anguo Mansion only needs her to be a pure Mu granddaughter-in-law, you understand this, the concubine understands, the ninth sister is so smart, she must also understand. If she really marries, she will only bother to plan for her in-laws in the future, and our granddaughter, who is so smart, can be regarded as feeding for nothing......"

"So what do you want?" Scholar Gu frowned: "Do you directly reject the Mu family?" You have seen it, the Mu family was personally brought up by General Youzhou's wife and his wife, do you think we will refuse to ......"

"Master, don't worry," Mrs. Gu raised her head and smiled gently, and then reached out and patted her husband's hand as if soothingly: "We have to discuss with the parents of the ninth sister, so naturally we really want to discuss it with the children." Also, the ninth sister is not in Beijing at the moment, I think that marrying is a lifelong matter after all, and if the girl wants to live well in the future, she still has to marry willingly, so the concubine still wants to hear the opinion of the ninth sister herself. ”

Senior Scholar Gu squinted and stared at his old wife, didn't say anything for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, it's up to you, and the Mu family will drag it out for now." Let's write to the three and the couple to discuss, listen to their opinions, and we will think about it more. ”

The old couple acted quickly, and immediately began to write a letter after discussing it, and after the letter was written, they immediately sent a special messenger at home to Ningling, without a moment's delay.

"Don't tell the children about this first," Seeing Mrs. Gu turn around and go back to the back house, Scholar Gu couldn't help but instruct more: "Before the matter is decided, don't let them make a mess and make up their minds." ”

"The concubine knows." Gu Furu nodded, turned around and left Scholar Gu's study. She left, and Scholar Gu was not idle, she recruited the staff ministers raised in the house into the study, closed the door and discussed until it was dark, and then returned to the back house.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the family banquet in the mansion was supposed to be lively, but Scholar Gu and Mrs. Gu were not in a high mood, and their sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren naturally did not dare to make too much noise, and dispersed quietly after the meal.

After dinner, Mrs. Gu didn't leave a few daughters-in-law to serve tea in the house, and sent everyone away. The daughters-in-law came out of Gu Furao's yard, and Gu Er's grandmother looked at it and muttered inexplicably: "When is this!" For the Chinese New Year, is it possible for my father and mother to rest at this hour? ”

"Okay," Grandma Gu frowned slightly, and said with some uneasiness: "It's not good to not let you make rules, so much to say." The second brother has been at home for the past few days, and it wouldn't be good for you to go back to the yard to accompany him earlier. ”

"Don't I care about my father and mother," Gu Er's grandmother smiled at Grandma Gu, and replied a little unadulterously: "For the New Year, my parents have rested early, what's wrong with my concern as a daughter-in-law, my sister-in-law actually minds like this." ”

"If you're curious, why don't you turn around and go in and ask your mother?" Grandma Gu glanced at Second Grandma Gu and replied very coldly: "I don't have time to gossip with you here, there are a lot of things at home." I only know that as a daughter-in-law, we should follow the rules, we will do what our father and mother tell us, don't ask what we shouldn't ask, and don't have so long ears and tongues. ”

"Sister-in-law is naturally a good daughter-in-law of the first class," Gu Er's grandmother smiled and replied confidently: "You are so hard to please your mother, you must be happy to come to your mother." I'm also very busy, so I don't listen to my sister-in-law talking about the rules here, so I don't accompany me. ”

"As long as you don't see your mother, you're always so unruly." Grandma Gu Si, who had not spoken for a long time, also looked a little unconcerned.

"After all, she is the daughter of the Marquis of Anyang," the grandmother of the Gu family replied lightly: "And her uncle's cousin has just been promoted to a middle school scholar, and he is only forty-six years old, and he is already a fourth-grade official residence, and his mother's family is strong, and his waist is harder than ours." But fortunately, her mother can hold it down, and in front of her mother, she doesn't dare to be so presumptuous no matter what. ”

"That is, the sister-in-law is good-natured," Grandma Gu Si snorted coldly: "If I had been replaced, I would never have allowed her to be so rude, and I would have sued my mother a long time ago." ”

The eldest grandmother of the Gu family raised her eyelids and glanced at the four brothers and sisters, without saying anything, she turned around and walked towards her yard.
