"Daddy can guarantee that Cousin Nan won't fail me? Although I have never been to Jinling, every time you go to Jinling and come back, Mama Qin, who is waiting by my mother's side, will always tell me about the customs and customs of Jinling. Gu Yurong didn't look at Gu Licai in front of her, turned around, and suddenly said something.

"Hearing is better than seeing, you said that your cousin Nan is a gentleman, do you have a certificate? Your cousin Nan went to school in Yuelu Academy in his early years, and Mr. Xi was the great Confucian Zhang Zai in the world. Your cousin has already passed the exam, and it's time to take the Jinshi exam soon. Gu Licai talked about the children of other families, but he talked endlessly, and he could talk for most of the day.

If you talk about your two sons, you can't find anything else to say in just a few words.

"What about being taught by the great Confucians of the time himself? Didn't Master Zhu Xi do such an unbearable thing with his daughter-in-law? What's more, Cousin Nan is young and frivolous, and he is a talented man back then, so it is inevitable that some people will like it?" Gu Yurong didn't want to marry Liang Nan, and when she thought of something bad about him, she said it together.

"Nonsense? You are a girl's family, what can you know if you don't go out of the door? Master Zhu Xi is much more well-known than the great Confucian Zhang Zai of our dynasty, and he also has many students, all of whom are top-notch talents. You often say that your cousin Xu is good, but I don't know that he is good, you tell me! As soon as Gu Licai's words fell, he hurriedly picked up the tea cup beside him.

Gu Licai had just said too much, and he drank two cups of tea in one go, almost choking.

"Daddy, if you really like someone, he is the best in your heart. No matter how good others are, no matter how good they are better than him, in your heart, they can't compare to him. When you see a good dish during a meal, you think of him and think that it would be nice if he could eat a bite too. When you pass by the garden and see a flower in good bloom, you think of him, and you think if only he could appreciate it. Gu Yurong thought about Lin Xu in her heart, so she also told her true feelings.

Gu Licai saw that when his daughter mentioned Lin Xu, she looked fascinated, and she began to sigh again and again in her heart, it seemed that her daughter was really fascinated by Lin Xu.

In his opinion, Lin Xu is not good at all, he is neither from the long house of the Zhengding Lin family, nor is he loved by the Lin family, although he is also a child, but he is squeezed between the eldest son and the younger son, and he is the most embarrassing and unproductive.

If his daughter really marries her in the future, he is really worried that Lin Xu will bring his daughter up to fight the autumn breeze during the New Year's holidays. If you marry into the Liang family, it will be different, Liang Nan is the eldest son in the family, and in the future, he will support the people of the court, and his daughter will marry him, that is, he will be the wife of the main house.

And her mother-in-law is still her eldest aunt, so she won't be too embarrassed by her.

"I thought you grew up and became sensible, but I didn't expect that you would still have such a child's temperament, and I couldn't look down on the Lin family, and your mother couldn't look down on you. Since you have learned embroidery skills from Huang Xiuniang, you have begun to prepare your wedding dress, and when Sister Tang's family affairs are decided, it will be up to you. Gu Licai said, and was about to call Sanfu to lead Gu Yurong out.

At this time, Gu Yucheng took Gu Yuli out for a walk, and just arrived at the garden, and saw Gu Licai talking to Gu Yurong, so he thought of going into the small garden to salute Gu Li.

Gu Licai also saw that his eldest son was coming, and he didn't want to embarrass Gu Yurong, so he didn't let Sanfu invite Gu Yurong out, but said to Lichun, the maid who was waiting beside Gu Yurong: "Lichun, take your girl back to the embroidery room." I also went to tell Huang Xiuniang, saying that I had something to find her, and asked her to come to the study after school. ”

Lichun got Gu Licai's instructions, and immediately took Gu Yurong out and went to the back room to continue learning her double-sided embroidery.

"Father is well." Gu Yucheng took Gu Yuli's hand and saluted Gu Li.

It's just that Gu Yuli was like an ignorant child, seeing that there were flowers and butterflies in the small garden, he was fascinated for a while, and went over to pick flowers and flutter butterflies.

"Yuri's condition is getting better? Now he lives with you, is it okay?" Gu Licai is most at ease with his eldest son, and he is the most uneasy, afraid that he will get into trouble for Gu Yuli's affairs.

"I invited Imperial Doctor Zhang to take care of it, Yuli's condition has improved a lot, but it is still repeated, even the Imperial Doctor, and he is almost helpless." When Gu Yucheng spoke, he glanced at Gu Yuli, who was fluttering butterflies behind him.

Because he was afraid that Gu Yuli would stain his clothes, he wore a black gown embroidered with gold threads and dark patterns for Gu Yuli, and also wore a pair of boots made of cowhide, and the boots also used gold threads to draw a few patterns.

Gu Yuli was holding a net bag made of green bamboo in his hand, and he was still happily fluttering butterflies, which didn't seem to match his appearance, but it didn't violate the harmony.

"Yuli is a person from Dachangfang after all, he has his own father and mother, you are just his cousin, you should take care of his affairs in the future! When I come back from Jinling, your mother is worried about your marriage, and she is ready to kiss you these days. Gu Licai said, glanced in the direction of Gu Yuli's butterfly, and smiled faintly.

"Father, the child has not yet gained fame and does not want to marry. And the child has no favorite person in his heart, the child's marriage, please delay it with your mother. Gu Yucheng said, making a fist in his hand, and asked Gu Licai.

"Yucheng, you and Brother Bai'er, I am most assured of you, you are loyal and honest, and you do things in an orderly manner, and in the future, the foundation of the Gu family's small long house is intended to be inherited by your father. I have also discussed this matter with your mother, and she has agreed to your inheritance. Gu Licai finished the last sentence, and the next sentence came out casually.

"Since you want to inherit the family business of our little long house, you must marry a wife and have children first, as the so-called self-cultivation Qi family governs the country and the world, you can only continue your career after cultivating your family first. You are the most reassuring child for us, you can listen to your mother's arrangement! As soon as the words fell, a sharp-eyed little maid had already poured tea for Gu Licai and Gu Yucheng.

Hearing this, Gu Yucheng hesitated for a moment, and finally listened to Gu Licai's words, and said lightly: "In this case, the child's marriage will be handed over to the father and mother, and the child believes in the vision of the father and mother, and the girl selected must be the best." ”

"It's best if you think like that. If Sister Rong can think like this with you, it will be much more reassuring to be a father. "If his three children can be like Gu Yucheng, how good it would be, and there will be less estrangement between father and daughter, and more family affection.

"Fourth sister, what's wrong with her?" Gu Yucheng was a little curious about what she had just said to her father, so she asked.

"It's nothing, your fourth sister is stubborn, and it will be fine in the future."

After exposing this matter, Gu Licai continued: I showed you the second girl of the Sichuan Hai family, your mother showed you the fifth girl of the Lin family in Fujian, although the second girl of the Sichuan Hai family is older, she is very knowledgeable about etiquette and is in good health. The girl of the Lin family in Fujian has a better family background, and the Lin family is an official in the imperial court nine times out of ten, which will greatly help your career in the future, but her health is worse, and she is not a good child. ”

"Our long-term house has been thin for so many years, and there are only five children in total, if the girl from the Hai family in Sichuan marries, she will definitely be able to add a few mouthfuls, and then your grandmother will also have a great-grandson Chenghuan on her knees and enjoy the joy of family." Gu Licai said and thought of his mother Lin again.

A few days ago, Lin wrote a letter saying that Liang confronted her, although he felt sorry for his mother, Liang was his wife, and he said something bad, so he said a few perfunctory words.

It's not easy for a mother, ten years after her father left, she was alone in charge of the entire Gu Mansion, a widow pulled her two sons to grow up, and the reason why he had been in charge of the housekeeping for so many years was also to be filial to his mother. Now that she is older, regardless of the child, she should have been allowed to enjoy a few years of happiness.

"Father, what are you thinking?" Gu Yucheng saw that Gu Licai was staying where he was, as if he was thinking about things in his heart, so he asked.

Hearing his son's voice, he suddenly pulled Gu Licai out of his memory, and said continuously: "I didn't think about anything, I just thought of your grandmother." When your grandmother was still in the house, she was talking about your marriage every day, and now you want to say goodbye, and she won't come back?"
