Chapter Ninety-Nine
Gu Yanzhang concisely said the arrangements for Ji Qingling's family affairs later.
In the past, he used to see his father do some business, and he also ran through the chores, and in the past few years, he handled the external affairs of the house, and often dealt with the people of Jixian County, although it was not very powerful, but it was also proper enough. At this time, the things are divided one by one, and the threads are so that people can understand them as soon as they hear them.
Ji Qingling listened and nodded, but he became more and more suspicious in his heart.
What is this about?
After Gu Yanzhang finished talking about Ji Qingling's house, he said: "When these are all clear, if your old house is still there, I will repair it again, and you can live in it again in about ten months, if the old house has become scorched earth, I will put a new house for you, and then put these servants in it, and the cook is also there, and the doorkeeper calls her husband and girl, and there is a little girl, but it is quite neat, and it is not difficult to live." ”
Hearing this, Ji Qingling's heart was cold, and he gradually felt that it was not good.
Gu Yanzhang still said to himself: "The matter in your house is simple, when it is dealt with, I will go back to my house to find out, if everything goes well, I will rent a room next to your house......"
He looked at Ji Qingling with a smile and said, "I went to school in the house next to me, and I usually don't go out, in the past few months, if there is anything, you will tell Rosin to find it, and I will arrive in a moment." After a few months of the release exam, I plan to hand over all the industries in Yanzhou to others, and I will go to Beijing to take the exam. ”
"I want to take you along."
Gu Yanzhang said slowly.
"You will be fourteen, and you are not in a hurry to say goodbye, wait for three years, with my ability, if you can't get a background, you really don't need to talk about anything, I will give up the family property, make a thick marriage for you, send you back to Jixian County, and ask the master to find a good family for you."
As he spoke, he only felt that his heart was like a knife, but he still kept talking, and said: "I have lived in the prefecture and county near your husband's house for a few years, and when you have an heir, I will look at the situation again, if that person is not good to you, I will fight for my life, and I will not make him feel better." ”
He said here, Ji Qingling listened here, it was obviously early in the winter morning, only cold wind and thick clouds, no morning, but he heard that his whole body was sweating, and there was a pain in his stomach, which seemed to be drilled into his bones, making her want to hug her knees and shrink into a ball.
Ji Qingling didn't know why, only a few days had passed, and the fifth brother seemed to be a different person, and he couldn't talk the same anymore.
Gu Yanzhang let out a long breath of turbidity, forced himself to smile and pull Ji Qingling's right hand, held it with both hands, and said softly: "I will give myself three and a half years, and I will be good to you next to you, so as not to let others know that you and I have lived together, so as not to damage your reputation...... After three years, I'll ask you again, and you'll be able to think about it for so long, and if you really can't accept it, and think that no matter how good or bad I am, it's not what you like, then I'll ......die."
He smiled and said: "I see that you have given birth to children, and when the life is stable, then go to business, my father used to say, I was born to do business, I used to find monks and Taoists to tell my fortune, everyone said that I was rich and noble, I made a fortune at that time, so I will go to the Western Regions to buy blue Bao Dai stone, red agate stone, go to Hepu to find someone to fish for you Da Nanzhu, so that you can be generous, all the women around you are pressed, and in the future things can be passed on to the next generation, so that they also remember that there was such a good uncle......"
When he said this, he smiled no longer reluctantly, and was very calm, as if he had really thought about it.
Gu Yanzhang has really made a decision.
It is said that love words are harmful, and it is said that heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass. No matter how capable he is, no matter how calm he is, he is just a teenage hairy boy at this time, the first time he fell in love, and he met such a person who gets along day and night, sharing difficulties and sufferings, and he has already thrown the whole person into it, even if he is asked to go to the soup, he is also willing.
He held Ji Qingling's hand, only to feel that this little hand was very cold, so he asked, "Why are your hands so cold?" Is it because you are wearing too little today? ”
After finishing speaking, he took a blanket from the side, draped it on Ji Qingling's shoulders, and pulled her left hand over and held her warm.
Ji Qingling was at his mercy and couldn't speak.
Seeing her expression, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but smile again, and said, "What a fool, what are you sad about, I'm not sad at all, seeing you happy, I should be really happy......"
He paused, and saw that Ji Qingling's eyes were already red, and he hurriedly said: "There are still three years left, what are you in a hurry...... I just don't want to make you sad, so I told you this, if you did, you didn't laugh, then what do I mean by saying this? ”
As he spoke, he really stretched out his hand, gently wiped the corners of his eyes for Ji Qingling, and said softly: "My Qingling is very well-behaved, the most lovely hurt, the fifth brother loves you now, and will hurt you in the future, I will love you in this life, no matter what you become, whether you are married, whether you are married, whether you are young, whether you are old, it is my Qingling, whether others hurt you or not, I love you." I'm here all the time, and I'm your fifth brother...... Don't be afraid, I'll be with you......"
Ji Qingling listened to him for half a day, only to feel that her stomach hurt and her heart hurt, she really felt wronged, and couldn't help but rush in a hard voice: "You have asked me to marry someone else, I live with someone else, how can you accompany me!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled his hands out of Gu Yanzhang's hands, took out an envelope from his arms, opened it, pulled out the pages in it, opened it again, bit his lip and threw it on the little open space between the two, and said angrily: "You ask Shi Niang to help me find it, let's see if there is another one with this name in the world, and marry me to him!" ”
When she had said this, she turned her head and said no more.
Gu Yanzhang was stunned, his mind was blank for a moment, and he took the two pages in his hand in disbelief, and took a closer look, but saw that this thing was very familiar, it was the grass post that he didn't know how many times he had read and fixed it.
This first piece of paper writes the situation of three generations of an official in Yanzhou City, great-grandfather, grandfather, parents, and the woman's birthday and dowry, and the second piece of paper is the woman's post.
These two things, as well as a handwritten letter of promise from Ji's mother, have been read by him countless times, and the content on them can already be memorized backwards, and he should have only filled in the woman's column, but the last time he was half-coaxed and half-deceived by himself, and he and Ji Qingling added a Gu word to the men's column on the grass post.
However, at this moment, on the two pages, the names of men and women have been filled, and there are three words clearly written on the man's side.
Gu Yanzhang's hands were about to tremble, he brought the two pages closer, looked at them again and again, held his breath, and didn't dare to blink, for fear that he was dreaming.
