After lunch, Wu Changliang said goodbye, Gao Wenlin took his eldest son to send him out, not because of his identity, but because the apprentice came from Beijing to pay New Year's greetings.

Wu Changliang regretted that his junior sister did not come out to see him off, but seeing that the master looked at him with a little meaning, he said: "Don't worry, master, I will be good to my junior sister." ”

"I'll beat you up if it's not good."

Xingrong didn't know what it meant, so he would ask the eldest sister later.

Gao Zhao was being questioned by his aunt, Gao Cui waited for Gao Yunniang to leave, and then hurried in, his eyes were full of gossip, and he went straight to the point.

"I said Zhao'er, what gift did Kaoru give you?"

"Don't tell my aunt."

Gao Cui: ......

She didn't give up and continued to induce confession: "Only tell me alone, and my aunt promises not to say it." ”

Gao Zhao thought about it, but still said, "Don't tell my aunt." ”

Gao Cui patted her and said, "Bai Xin feels sorry for you." ”

Gao Zhao grinned, "I'll tell my aunt in the evening, I have to ask my father first, so I can't say it, my aunt will hold on a little longer, and in the evening, Zhun Bao will say." ”

Gao Cui, who leaned forward, sat back and glanced at her, "I see that you are sincere in making my aunt anxious, I don't know if the more this is the case, the more anxious my aunt is?" The heart scratched at the same time with nine cats, and he died in a hurry. ”

"One cat scratches it, nine cats scratch will definitely not itch, auntie go to sleep, wake up and it will be dark, this will I go to find my father."

"Let me sleep during the New Year? And then can't sleep at night? I think you're going to toss your aunt today. ”

Hehe, Gao Zhao ran away with his shoes on, and Gao Cui had to make up what the two of them were doing in the car just now.

Gao Zhao just went out and saw his father coming in through the second gate.

"Dad, senior brother is gone?"

"Hmm. Zhao'er, dad asked a few words. ”

Gao Wenlin walked straight to the east wing, and Gao Cui went out of the house and returned to the west wing.

"What does Daddy want to ask me?" Gao Zhao waited for his father to sit down and asked.

"What does that Chang Liang mean today? You two said yes? ”

"Dad said that my senior brother came to pay New Year's greetings today? I don't know about this, I haven't heard my brother say it, and Xibei didn't tell me. ”

Gao Wenlin hummed again, she believed her daughter's words, her daughter has the ability to talk nonsense, but she never lies.

"I was just trying to talk to my dad about something, and I wanted him to help me get an idea."

Gao Wenlin felt that it was related to what the apprentice said just now, raised his eyes to look at his daughter, and waited for her to speak.

"Dad, today the senior brother proposed to me with a letter of guarantee, and one was written by the princess, but I guess it was fooled by King Qing, I asked the senior brother to return it to the princess, no matter how you say it, it is also a princess, it can't be too faceless, I don't have such a big face, it's the senior brother ......he said, I didn't refuse, saying that when I and Lu mention the marriage, I have to ask my father's opinion, and my father can't do it."

Gao Wenlin: When did you listen to me what you decided? Isn't it all me listening to you? I really want to think that I can't, depending on what you say, forget it, don't make yourself unhappy.

"You have to think about it carefully, there is a saying that once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, this is not like your cousin marrying the Wu family, your father can support you, that is the princess's family, what is the use of the guarantee?"

"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, one step at a time, it's useless to think too much, marrying no one can guarantee what will happen in the future, my daughter wants to open, follow the feeling, but I also have to agree with my father, huh? Why wasn't Dad surprised? ”

When Gao Zhao said this, he found that his father's face was calm, without the slightest surprise or surprise.

Gao Wenlin smiled and said, "Are you stupid to be a father?" If you haven't said anything about going out for a month, can Changliang come to the door today? Dad hopes that you marry well, but also hope that you like, if the woman does not like the husband, the future days are too difficult, women are not like men can go out to do things, can only guard the inner house all day long, no considerate people, too hard, although the father is a man, I have seen a lot in the yamen, I know that the woman has a favorite husband, and then there are children who can endure no matter how hard they are, otherwise the bitterness in the heart of that day is only known to themselves and can not be said, how much for the child to suffer, I don't want my daughter to live that kind of life, But I don't want you to be hot-headed and like a person who can't give you protection, Changliang is an honest child, but his family background is too different from ours, this is not the main problem, if he really wants to marry, not for his life, of course Dad depends on what you mean, you don't want to, he is the prince, Dad won't agree, if you want to, Dad won't object, Dad is not so hypocritical, Dad just wants you to live well. ”

Gao Zhao was silent for a while and said, "Thank you, Dad." ”

Then he teased his father, "What if I fall in love with someone my father thinks is insecure?" You have to marry him, what should my father do? ”

Gao Wenlin said solemnly: "Then I have to let him write a letter of guarantee, and file it in the yamen with the letter of appointment, if there is anything in the future, it will come according to the letter of guarantee, my father doesn't care about having a second daughter." ”

Gao Zhao stepped forward and hugged his father's arm, and put his face on it, "I won't, if my father doesn't agree, I will definitely not marry." ”

Gao Wenlin wanted to pull out his arm, but he was reluctant, his daughter was older, and he couldn't be so close in the future.

"Dad, the senior brother's guarantee said that he would not take concubines in the future, just the two of us would live a good life, if there is a son who will bring his grandson in the future, and if he has no children, he will inherit his eldest brother's family, he will be his own master, and he will not let me worry about it."

"You, dad knows that you care about this the most, so you haven't decided on a son-in-law for so many years, it's too difficult to choose, I'm afraid that you won't go on when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, dad also pays attention to Chang Liang, he just hasn't been out of the house, but he has made up his mind, dad is worried that you are too strong, women are better to be soft, don't be too needle-pointed, live a small matter is not who is right or wrong, each one step is nothing, but in major matters you have to stand up, you can't be bullied, remember, dad is always behind you."

Gao Zhaotou leaned on her father's arm, her heart was warm, it was her father who gave her endless love, so that she had the confidence to live so unscrupulously, daring to talk nonsense from time to time.

"Dad, I told my senior brother to wait for me to talk about marriage again, I don't want to decide immediately, there is still one year, this year is enough for me to consider, and I also know whether it is suitable or not, not suitable for us or senior brothers and sisters, each looking for their own happiness, senior brother will wait for me, Dad, rest assured, I will not marry myself indiscriminately, I have to let my father and mother rest assured."

"Dad believes you, you just think about yourself, don't put the family in front, you have to put yourself in front, you can rest assured that your father and mother can rest assured." Gao Wenlin patted his daughter's hand, feeling that it hadn't been a few years, and his daughter, who was still sitting on his lap and clapping her hands and humming blindly yesterday, was about to get married, and she was sad.

"Hmm."

No amount of words can be worth my father's sentence, I believe you.

Gao Zhao thought to himself, I won't just think about myself, home is my harbor, without a harbor, where will the boat drift?
