Guo Lin was confused when he heard it, and he didn't understand Guo Yu's thoughts very well: "There are many couples in the world who have never seen before marriage, and they haven't come over like this?" Look at my father, my second sister-in-law, my eldest brother and sister-in-law, aren't they all good? I see that you have read too many books, so you will porridge and think about those things that are going through the wind and snow. ”

In his opinion, it is best to marry a wife who is virtuous and housekeeping, can be filial to her in-laws, and can take care of young children, thinking that Liu's wife is very good.

"It's different." Guo Yu did not defend himself excessively, he knew that the two had different expectations, and their views on people and things were different, there was no right or wrong, but he would not be persuaded and would continue to insist.

Guo Lin didn't have fun inquiring about his brother's "alternative" thoughts, and persuaded him: "We brothers and sisters are left with you who are not married, and now your father and mother are also old, the most desirable thing is not that you will be promoted to become a big official, but to marry a wife and have a few children and a family." When you go back this time, you will listen to your father and mother, and quickly find a suitable girl to set the major events of your life, so as not to worry them anymore. ”

Seeing that Guo Yu was silent, Guo Lin chuckled in his heart, raised his voice and said, "No, little brother, you won't really repent, and you don't want to say kiss, right?" You just said that you want to find a girl with your own porridge, this is twenty-one years old, have you met it? ”

Guo Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed a shallow smile in his mind. As if frightened, he sat up straight, but a shy red crept at the base of his ears.

"What's wrong, isn't there something uncomfortable?" Guo Lin was startled, thinking that Guo Yu was uncomfortable, so he hurriedly reached out to probe his forehead: "It seems to be a little hot, and his face is red, is it feverish?" ”

When Guo Yu heard this, he thought that the roots of his ears were even hotter. Afraid that the second brother would find something, he twisted his head to the side and covered it up: "It's too hot in the carriage, I'm fine." ”

Guo Lin saw that his energy was acceptable, and he really didn't look like he was sick, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, if you don't obey something, you must say it immediately, this illness is not a joke." ”

"Hmm." Guo Yu replied in a low voice, in fact, his heart was in chaos, and his brain was also confused, but there was always a smile that was hidden.

……

Yunlai County is not a place where Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, but fortunately there is a Yunxiao Academy, not to mention the number of people in each Dengke, not to mention the top three in the entire prefecture, it can also be ranked in the top five. It's just that by chance, the shortcomings are lucky, and the ranking of people is slightly lower.

The students of Yunlai County have carried forward well, and among the more than 80 talents referenced, six of them have been lifted in high school, and two of them have been ranked high, and they have won the name of Jinshi in the spring of the coming year.

One of these two people is Guo Yu. There are 180 people admitted to the entire Fucheng this year, and Guo Yu ranks third, which is a very good ranking.

The list of the middle lifters arrived at the county office yesterday after day, and within a day, anyone with a bit of status knew which six of the new lifters were.

The road to the imperial examination is like a horse crossing a single-plank bridge, many people from the total angle of the teenager to the number of the sixtieth is only a show talent or even a child, all the general people in the middle of the examination will not be young, the balance of age at the mercy of thirty years old.

Therefore, people like Guo Yu, who is only twenty years old and have not yet been given birth to a child, are the most scarce and precious, and many wealthy and wealthy gentry, scholarly families and even petty officials with school-age daughters in their families have set their eyes on Guo Yu and quietly assessed his price stamina.

In an elegant and delicate courtyard of the Sun family in the city, a middle-aged couple is playing against each other. It's just that at this time, the couple's minds are not on the chess game.

"Lover, that Guo Yu ranks third in the autumn festival, listen to the benefits of my brother-in-law, he will go to Beijing to participate in next year's spring festival, if he doesn't take advantage of the current time to restrain people, it will be too late for him to enter high school." Mrs. Sun frowned and said to her husband, Master Sun.

"What about being third? How easy is the Jinshi test? Master Sun didn't care, the son-in-law he wanted was not a small lifter, he was a lifter himself.

Mrs. Sun's beautiful eyes turned, glared at Master Sun, and said angrily: "At the beginning, you said that you sent Yapo to win over the people who were born in the imperial examination, but now everyone is lifting people, and you still take Qiao!" ”

"What about Najo? Our Rong Rong is both talented and beautiful, that is, the officials and wives have done it, so why bother to be low? "Master Sun is not very happy about the half-son candidate that his wife is optimistic about, in his opinion, his daughter is very good, if it is not for the lower rank, the young talents of the rich family are more than enough.

How could Mrs. Sun not know her husband's thoughts, sighed and said: "It's not your magic weapon daughter, she has already planted a deep love for others." If you object to her, I'm afraid she'll do something stupid. ”

When Master Sun heard this, his brows furrowed: "I blame you for this, I always take her out to make a body, I don't have to see a man who looks like a woman, and my vision is too low." ”

Regarding her husband's obligation to herself, Mrs. Sun was speechless: "Rong Rong has hands and feet, so she can't be tied to the house all day long and not go out to meet people, right?" Besides, I didn't want to let those ladies meet her, so that Rong Rong could tell her about a good marriage, she didn't look down on those sons and brothers, but she inadvertently saw the descendants surnamed Guo and took a fancy to it, this is something I can control? ”

Master Sun ignored it, and as soon as Mrs. Sun confessed, he had nothing to say, and only left a son to block Mrs. Sun's way: "I don't care, if you want me to nod, this kid must be a junior high school student in the spring of the coming year." ”

Master Sun has a strong attitude, no matter how Mrs. Sun persuades him, he refuses to change his words, and he must be a high school jinshi to be qualified to be a half-child candidate.

Thinking of her daughter who was still waiting for news in the inner room, Mrs. Sun angrily threw the chess pieces into the chess box, stood up and said to Master Sun: "You are stubborn, if you really wait for that junior high school scholar, can it be your turn to be someone's father-in-law." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, and went to the backyard to find his daughter Sun Rongrong.

In a house facing south in the backyard, Sun Rongrong sat in front of the window, holding a book in her hand and was stunned, she didn't know what she thought, the corners of her mouth involuntarily showed a shy smile, and the personal maid Xiao Ru who served on the side pursed her lips and smiled.

"Miss, are you thinking about Guo Gongzi again? Guo Gongzi will return in a few days, and I am afraid that the young lady will have to meet the real person before she can solve the lovesickness. "Xiaoru has served Sun Rongrong since she was a child, and the relationship between the master and servant is the closest, and she knows the thoughts of Sun Rongrong's daughter's family clearly, so the language is more casual.

Sun Rongrong glared at Xiao Ru in annoyance, and reached out to tickle her: "You stinky girl, you dare to ridicule the master, see that I am not good at blocking you." ”

"Miss spare your life, Miss spare your life!" Xiaoru is most afraid of itching, and she begs for mercy while hiding, but the house is so big, where can she hide.

"Hmph, now you know how to beg for mercy? Finished! Sun Rongrong didn't give up, grabbed Xiao Ru is scratch, and Xiao Ru who was scratching straight was crying and laughing, and tears came out.

Mrs. Sun heard the laughter in the house in the courtyard, and when she walked in quickly, she saw her daughter and the maidservant both rolling in, and immediately said angrily: "Look, look, what kind of system is this, and is there any other courtesy of colleagues?" ”

The Sun family is not a wealthy family, but there are a few scholars, who can be called a scholarly family, but they are polite but follow the big family. Living in front of Mr. and Mrs. Sun, Sun Rongrong didn't dare to make such a fuss with Xiao Ru, so she was a little arbitrary when she carried the two of them on her back.

Hearing Mrs. Sun's shouting, Sun Rongrong and Xiaoru stopped playing in an instant and hurriedly got up from the ground. Sun Rongrong just stopped, Mrs. Sun would not punish her, it would be impossible to be as small as a slave, and her body continued to shake after standing up, for fear of being punished by Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun didn't have the heart to pay attention to Xiao Ru, glanced at her, and said coldly: "I have something to say to Miss, you go down first, no one is allowed to enter without my entrustment." ”

"Yes, ma'am!" Xiao Ru breathed a sigh of relief, walked out quickly, and closed the door tightly.

"Mother, is it a matter of peace with my father?" Sun Rongrong understood Mrs. Sun's intention, and jumped forward to hug Mrs. Sun's arm and asked, her beautiful eyes flashing with bright light.

Mrs. Sun sighed, pulled her daughter to sit down, and asked seriously, "You think the kid surnamed Guo is the boy?" ”

Sun Rongrong thought that the answer was as she thought, and nodded excitedly: "Mother, I will porridge him, and he will not marry in this life." ”

Mrs. Sun was very embarrassed, but she could only tell the truth: "Your father refused to agree, saying that he had to wait for someone to enter a high school." ”

When Sun Rongrong, who was full of hope, heard this, her eyes widened angrily: "It was my father himself who said that Guo Gongzi was promoted to the imperial examination, so he made peace, how could he not talk without talking?" ”

Mrs. Sun also complained in anger, but she didn't want the father and daughter to be emotionally discordant because of this, so she said good things for her husband: "Your father is also for your good, he hopes that you can be the wife of the grand duke and the most upright, instead of being a lady for the rest of your life." ”

Sun Rongrong was even more dissatisfied: "Dad, isn't he just a lifter in his life, why do you dislike Guo Gongzi?" Guo Gongzi is still young, and there are many opportunities, so he has to do it once, so my father kept me waiting, and when I became an old girl, no one wanted to dislike others? ”

"Nonsense, how could your father let you be an old girl?" Mrs. Sun patted her daughter in disgust, and said slowly: "Your father's concerns are reasonable, if that Guo Gongzi can really win the Jinshi in the spring of next year, everything is not a problem, but if you don't get into the middle and fail like your father, if you marry him, won't you miss your own income?" ”

Seeing that her mother was really on her father's side, Sun Rongrong was completely anxious: "Mother, I am the one who makes porridge, and I don't care whether he is a Jinshi or not, even if I can only be a lady in this life, I am also willing to do it." ”

Mrs. Sun looked at her daughter and smiled, and said with a serious smile: "Do you really think so in your heart?" If that Guo Gongzi has an empty inside, no ink on his chest, and can only nest in the countryside to farm all his life, and even have no inside under the wind and sun, are you still happy to marry him? ”

Sun Rongrong opened her mouth, she wanted to say "joy", she hesitated, these two words were still unable to speak.

"You see, because you take a fancy to him, so he is different from ordinary peasant children, he has a promising future, and if you marry him, you will be able to marry a noble wife, otherwise you will not decide not to marry him, and you will not hesitate after asking your mother."

"Mother, no, it's not like this......" Sun Rongrong wanted to confess, thinking that her heart had been questioned and humiliated.

"Rong Rong, you are your mother's daughter, what do you really think in your heart, can't you see it because your mother?" Mrs. Sun patted her daughter's hand and reassured: "This is not a bad thing, people know what merit they want, and only when they know it will they go through great efforts to fight for it, which is better than those who are ignorant." Whether it is the appearance and posture of Guo Gongzi of your porridge, or the way out of his talent for porridge, you know how to weigh and discard. ”

Just like her niece, her demeanor and abundance are outstanding, and she was set up by her grandfather as a baby when she was born. It's just that this fiancé has a good life, but it just so happens to be a lump of mud that can't support the wall. This niece just didn't know what she wanted, and she didn't know if she had ever thought about quitting the marriage and finding another promising husband.
