Chapter Seventy-Three: Like a Dream
Seeing a foreign man under his father's nose, Gu Yao felt that this matter was difficult to hide. After thinking about it, Gu Yao threw away the sentence "You wait for me" and went to Gu Zhixian.
"Dad, Yao Feifei is at the Tongfu Inn, and he is looking for me in a hurry. Brother Zhang said that she was in a bad mood, and I think it was her family who arranged for her to marry, so she couldn't think about it. I'll take Song Haitang and Hanxiang and go with Brother Zhang to meet her, okay? ”
The caravanserai are usually outside the city.
The first thing the Yao family did when they entered the Shuntian Mansion was to open a Tongfu Inn next to the post station. The asking price is not low, but it is convenient for people who have not had time to enter the city to live temporarily, and those who are not in bad condition will choose to stay. In recent years, there have been many people coming and going from the south to the north, and the business of Tongfu Inn is quite good. As the person who came up with the idea, Yao Feifei gained the recognition of the family and became one of the principals of the Yao family's Shuntian Mansion.
Fourteen-year-old Yao Feifei is not only a hot wedding girl in the shopping mall, but also the first choice of some officials with slightly worse family backgrounds in the officialdom of Shuntianfu. As far as Gu Zhixian knows, his master wants to hire Yao Feifei as his son's daughter-in-law. One is to connect with the prefect's family, and the other is to improve their own conditions.
In marriage, Yao Feifei's non-cooperation is also a well-known thing.
Yao Feifei said to himself that no matter who he married, he didn't want the Yao family's dowry. The Yao family was also forced to be helpless, so they set a very high threshold for Yao Feifei, wanting her to retreat in spite of the difficulties. Gu Zhixian had to investigate a thing or two because of his daughter's relationship with Yao Feifei, and he knew more about it.
The girl looks like herself in appearance and temperament, and Gu Zhixian is not only happy, but also worried.
As a man, it is a good thing to have a milder temperament and a more harmonious family. In this way, I will inevitably suffer some grievances. In other words, women with good temperament will not live long, and those who live for a long time will live a lonely life like their mother.
No matter which one it is, it is what Gu Zhixian does not want to see.
The more I checked this Yao Feifei girl, the more relieved Gu Zhixian became. Yao Feifei may not be very smart, but he is extremely courageous, which is exactly what he expects his daughter to grow up in.
When Gu Zhixian heard that Yao Feifei had something, he immediately got up and said, "In this case, I'll accompany you." ”
How could Gu Yao ask him to follow, and stopped: "Dad is not at ease, just ask two officials to follow with two money, why bother to worry about yourself?" If I'm tired of my father, I won't go. ”
After speaking, Gu Yao turned around, counted silently in his heart, and only counted to four, and then heard Gu Zhixian say: "Okay, okay, my father won't go, let's bring four." They also work hard, so don't be stingy with more money. ”
Gu Yao responded one by one.
At the gate, Shen Congjun looked at the crescent moon that was about to disappear, and remained motionless until Zhang Sheng shouted: "Stinky boy, get out of the way, the girl has arrived." ”
The night was too dark, Shen Congjun couldn't see Gu Yao's face clearly, he could only hear her voice as calm and quiet as ever, and heard her say to herself: "It's hard work." ”
She was heard whispering "help" to another girl in the carriage.
As for the Tongfu Inn, Gu Yao first arranged for four officials to rest, and then booked a room for Song Haitang, and Fang followed Zhang Sheng to see Shen Congjun anxiously. In the upper room of Nuoda, Shen Congjun sat at the small table of the Eight Immortals, drinking tea alone, with no dead face.
In such a state, something big must have happened, Gu Yao couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Shen, what happened?" Say it and let's think about it together. ”
Shen Congjun looked at Gu Yao deeply, pulled a handsome smile, and said, "If you are still in Fengcheng, you will say, let's think together." ”
"It's not in Fengcheng, it's the same." Seeing that he could still laugh, Gu Yao's heart calmed down for a while, and he said playfully, and then said, "Say, Brother Shen, let's think about it together." ”
"Well, together."
Shen Congjun held back his tears, rubbed his face, picked up what he could say, and said part of it.
"February 14 is my father's 40th birthday. He said it was an important day and called me back. ”
He said it very slowly, and Gu Yao didn't rush it, he sat there obediently and listened carefully. Looking at Gu Yao like this, Shen Congjun laughed at himself and said, "You and Zheng Zhi are so good, he must have told you the reason why I ran away from home, right?" Yes, it's nothing, my father was angry with my mother for another woman, and he married the woman and entered the door. ”
Gu Yao didn't know about it, but she didn't say anything.
"Do you know why I'm called Congjun? Because that woman, surnamed Jun. Back then, my father just had amnesia, but he still remembered the woman's surname - my father said that he and the woman were childhood sweethearts, and my mother took advantage of the situation and gave birth to me. It's me who ruined his childhood sweetheart's affection. In fact, I didn't run away from home, it was he who told me to get out of the house when he got angry. ”
"But what's wrong with me!" Shen Congjun shouted unwillingly.
Gu Yao stretched out his hand, wanting to comfort him, but was dodged. Shen Congjun looked at Gu Yao's failed Rouyi, like an ice sculpture falling into an ice cave, and said without tone: "He has a birthday, filial piety is greater than the sky, tell me to go back, I will go back." Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, he betrothed me a marriage, I have to obey. ”
"What do you mean?" Gu Yao suspected that he had auditory hallucinations.
Shen Congjun said: "I'm different from him, if I set someone else, I will be good to that person, and I won't ask her to follow in my mother's footsteps." Haruka, this is the first time I've called you that, and it's the last time. I can't hold your hand and walk with you for the rest of my life. ”
Gu Yao was very hard today.
climbed the wall and injured his knee, helped Song Haitang and his father, but didn't help either, and asked Zheng Zhi to bully him and couldn't speak. At this time, the childhood sweetheart, who has never expressed his love so clearly, categorically denied the future of the two.
Gu Yao didn't believe that this was the truth, she rubbed her head, and said with a puzzled expression: "Am I too sleepy and have auditory hallucinations?" ”
Obviously not the ultimate beauty, but it is different to make people happy, Shen Congjun really wants to tease her, yes, you have auditory hallucinations - but, he can't, he can't call it a tragedy, continue to continue.
Shen Congjun said cruelly: "You don't have auditory hallucinations, it's true." If you don't believe me, go and rest now, and I'll tell you again after dawn. ”
Gu Yao didn't know how he got back to the room.
She only knows that she is more casual, doesn't care much about many things, and is so casual that she is a little out of place. But marrying and falling in love is a life she didn't enjoy in her previous life. In Daming, it is impossible for her to be the eldest and not get married. Yes, she thought about her marriage early and finalized the candidate.
She habitually thought of the worst, and thought about the countless possibilities after being with Shen Congjun - but never thought of the possibility of not being together, her father spoiled her so much, how could he not agree?
Yes, her father didn't have time to say that he didn't agree, and the Shen family didn't agree first.
No, she still has the aura of Meng Shan's granddaughter on her, how could the Shen family disagree? Gu Yao asked Shen Congjun with hope: "Have you mentioned me to Uncle Shen?" The family he set for you is better than mine? ”
Shen Congjun's body stiffened, and he paused for a long time before he said, "I mentioned you, but he didn't agree." As for my future wife, her origins are not weaker than yours. She is, a concubine. ””
