Although he paid some price, Ji Qingling still put his shirt back on.

Gu Yanzhang knew that she loved Jie, and after exhaling with her eyes closed, she turned over and brought a basin of water over to wash her hands for Ji Qingling.

When he returned to the bed, he simply put the pillow up, half sat and half leaned on himself, put his left hand behind his head, and said with some emotion: "I still like Ganzhou in winter." ”

Ji Qingling raised his eyes to look at him while holding his shirt, and said curiously: "There is a dragon in the capital, and in that place in Ganzhou, no matter how thick the robe is, it is generally cold, and when it comes to snow, it is not as good as Yanzhou's, what is there to like?" ”

Gu Yanzhang turned his head, looked at her sideways, and pretended to be pitiful: "Ganzhou is cold, and it only works for half a day with a foot stove, so you are very well-behaved, and you always lean on my side at night, and now that you are back in Beijing, when it is hot, you will shrink to the side, and ignore me." ”

It looks like he has really been wronged.

Ji Qingling "spitted" him, stared at him with his eyes, and said angrily: "Who ignored you?" He lowered his head and buckled the buckle around his waist.

The button was sewn on the side waist, and when she just washed her hands, she accidentally dripped some water on her waist, and the fabric was a little wet at the moment, and she buckled it for a long time, but she couldn't buckle it.

Gu Yanzhang put her pillow up, put the two pillows together, patted the empty seat beside her, and said, "Come here, I'll help you." ”

Ji Qingling used to knowing that as long as he was next to the bed, he would probably not be able to fully believe what he said, and in the end, the button would definitely be able to be buttoned, but what would happen in the middle, that is, she could guess a few points without a brain, but she ignored it, and only "hummed" from her nose.

Gu Yanzhang looked at it and smiled, then turned around, wrapped his head around Ji Qingling's waist from behind, buttoned her, and when it was finally buttoned, he took advantage of the situation to hug the person back.

Ji Qingling found a comfortable position in his arms, and remembered that he had something to say, so he hurriedly asked, "Fifth brother, are you tired?" ”

Gu Yanzhang said slowly: "It depends on what you ask me to do and what benefits you give me, so I know whether I am tired or not......

Ji Qingling couldn't help but stretch out his hand to twist his arm, and said angrily: "People have serious things to ask!" ”

Gu Yanzhang smiled and lowered his head and kissed her face, "Didn't you just want to ask about your brother-in-law Du?" Since Du Tanzhi is a student of Mr., what else is there to worry about? ”

Ji Qingling hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not just a matter of character...... When I talked to them today, I realized that there was a family talking about marriage before Du Tan......"

Gu Yanzhang said: "He is in his thirties, and it is normal for one or two to be unsaid." ”

He relayed the words he heard from Liu Boshan to Ji Qingling one by one.

It turned out that this Du Tanzhi lived in the suburbs outside the capital, and his father died early when he was young, and his mother remarried within two years.

The Du family used to have a slight property, when Du's father was alive, the family property was in the hands of Du's mother, and after the mother remarried, she not only took away the dowry, but also took away all the family property that could be brought, leaving only some conspicuous and immovable land deeds to live in the same property where the three old and young lived.

At that time, Du Tanzhi was only seven years old, still ignorant, and Du Tanzhi also had a sixteen-year-old uncle, who was sensible, but it was of little use.

Du's mother is in charge of the money, and everyone else doesn't know how much property there is in the family, leaving a grandmother, Xiang Ri is often sick because of her poor health, and she doesn't take care of things, and when her daughter-in-law gets married, even if she knows that it is wrong, because there is no evidence, there is really no way to do it.

Fortunately, although the grandmother was not in good health, she had some knowledge, and she gritted her teeth and sold the dowry for her younger son and grandson to go to school.

The Du family was not rich and expensive, but after a few years, the two children went to school, and the old lady Du had to take medicine from time to time to treat the disease, and the family property had already been sold.

Uncle Du has been on the scene several times, but he has not been, on the one hand, he feels that the family really can't afford it, and he feels that his nephew is more talented than himself, so he simply stopped studying, went to be a bookkeeper, and did some short-term work in private, earned money, supported his mother, and provided his nephew with education.

After a few years, after a sudden serious illness, Uncle Du left the west, leaving only one old and one young to rely on each other.

Fortunately, Du Tanzhi still has some talent, relying on his own talent, he was valued by the county officials at that time and funded him to study.

Du Tanzhi took the test four times, the first two times were only barely hanging his tail to pass the release test, and he fell to the first place when he took the test, and waited until the third time, as if he suddenly opened his mind, and the solution test actually won the seventeenth, which attracted the attention of many people.

There was a merchant in the capital who saw this scene, so he came to the door and agreed that if Du Tanzhi passed the examination, he would marry his daughter to him, and if not, the contract would be invalidated.

The merchant had a name and a surname in the capital, and he was a family that could be counted, Du Tanzhi did not hesitate much, and agreed.

As a result, as soon as the yellow list was released, he did not pass the exam, and this time the agreement naturally fell through, and the girl from that family married someone else.

It is very common to catch a son-in-law under the Dajin list, and it is also a very common thing to make an appointment with a son-in-law in front of the list, Du Tanzhi's experience is said, and the people next to him are at most emotional, their two families have no fate, and then he has a good life - in the eyes of the world, he did not marry the daughter of a merchant, but he married the daughter of a Confucian, although it is a second marriage, but it is not comparable.

Ji Qingling heard Gu Yanzhang tell her about the previous situation, and her heart was a little entangled, she thought about it, and said, "Fifth brother, have you heard of what is the surname of that family?" ”

Gu Yanzhang shook his head.

Such inconsequential matters, he naturally won't care.

Ji Qingling said: "I heard Sister Liu say that the family surnamed Li who originally wanted to marry Brother-in-law Du did the horse silk business, which originally lived in Baokangmen, and later moved to Junyi Qiaofang. ”

Gu Yanzhang has an excellent memory, and this matter has always been in his heart, at this time, he heard the key words "surname Li", "horse silk", and "Baokangmen", and immediately thought of the words that Ji's mother explained to him when he was still in Jixian County.

This person who lives in Baokangmen, the capital city, is engaged in the silk horse business at home, and is a merchant surnamed Li, which is exactly the same as the "prospective fiancé" who Qingling's family was originally going to defect!

He almost subconsciously hugged Ji Qingling tightly, hugged the person for a while, and then thought of the marriage book that was locked by him in the study, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I don't know if it's the Li family, or the Li family, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
