"Ah Yu, you really don't want to marry me, even if it's the identity of a wife, you don't want to?"

Hearing this, Gu Yu stopped suddenly, turned around, and saw Zhang Shishilang, who was standing tall and jade under the peach blossom tree, and his star-like eyes were reflected in his star-like eyes, which was actually smeared with the tenderness of spring water, where did this look like Zhang Shishilang who was jokingly smiling and laughing with her?

Gu Yu was stunned and puzzled for a moment, in her memory, Zhang Xuanzhi in her previous life admired the daughter of the Xie family of Chenjun, the amazing but unattainable talented woman Xie Daoyun, even after Xie Daoyun married Wang Ning, Zhang Xuanzhi also stayed alone for several years without marrying, until the fifth year of Shengping, because he wanted to take over the position of the next lord of the Zhang family, he had to be engaged to Lu Wenwan, the girl of the Lu family, under the pressure of the family, but unfortunately Lu Wenwan did not marry into the door of the Zhang family, Zhang Xuanzhi died in the Northern Expedition.

Thinking of this, Gu Yu felt a little ashamed in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't!" Twelve, I'm grateful that you helped me out of that situation despite the family's opposition, but that was just your expedient measure, wasn't it? ”

Zhang Shishilang was a little choked, maybe at that moment, what he thought was indeed for Gu Yu's reputation and for the sake of the Zhang family's Qingwang, but why was it that when Ah Yu said something that he didn't want to be suitable, he felt as if he was disappointed in his heart?

"Ah Yu—"

He called out, and when he wanted to say something, he saw Gu Yu purse his lips slightly, smiled, and urged: "Let's go!" The party is about to begin! You didn't go to yesterday's Qing Tan Ya Collection, don't miss it today! ”

Seeing Gu Yu's smile, Zhang Shishilang suddenly felt in a good mood, and returned to his previous joking appearance, and said, "How do you know that I didn't go to yesterday's Qingtan Yaji?" ”

Gu Yu's heart tightened slightly, but he still didn't answer with a smile, so he heard Zhang Shishilang continue, "You also know that I'm worried about you, you said to let Miaowei wait for you in Bilan Pavilion, and I waited for you there all the time......"

Before he finished speaking, he felt a warmth in his hand, but it was Gu Yu who secretly reached out and pressed it on his wrist.

Zhang Shishilang also realized something, and paused, and the sentence "I waited for two hours" was never spoken.

At this time, Gu Bi, the head of the Gu family, had already walked over to the two of them, and when his eyes fell on Zhang Shishilang first, he was full of admiration and love for the young talents of the younger generations, and when he fell on her, there was a hint of worry.

"Twelve, you go to the table first! Now that you have ordered a product, you have not yet entered the office, and you will make friends with the children of the healthy family, which will be beneficial to your future career! ”

Zhang Shishilang thanked him, and walked towards the gate of the north courtyard, and when he entered the door, he glanced back at Gu Yu, and saw Gu Bi pulling her aside, his expression was solemn and loving, and he didn't know what to say, Gu Yu's face was also solemn.

"Grandfather, Ah Yu is not angry, the most important disciple of the family marriage, Ah Yu knows that it is difficult to marry someone as a wife in his own identity, and Ah Yu's biological mother Aunt Shen is also inseparable from Ah Yu's care, if Ah Yu really marries, who can tolerate me? Who can tolerate Aunt Shen? ”

"Please also ask my grandfather to forgive Ah Yu for her willfulness, and when Aunt Shen recovers from her illness, Ah Yu Xu will reconsider!"

After Gu Bi heard this, there was a burst of pity in his heart, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes, and he sighed slightly before he said, "Ah Yu, do you complain about your grandfather?" Originally, your biological mother was supposed to be your father's wife, if it weren't for your grandfather's momentary weakness and confusion......"

Although he did not single-handedly promote the demotion of his wife to a concubine and the matter of hiring another wife, in a sense, he did not break the matter for the sake of the Gu family's Qingwang, so he could be regarded as acquiescing in the matter, and as the head of the Gu family, he also had a responsibility that he could not shirk, so he could only try his best to make up for the debt to the Shen family.

But Gu Yu still didn't understand a little, could it be that Old Madam Gu wanted to ask about the box from the Shen family, but her grandfather didn't know?

"Grandfather, the wood has been completed, and it is difficult to collect it when it is covered with water, and it is useless to regret it!" Gu Yu continued, "Ah Yu admits that Ah Yu has a grudge in his heart, but resentment can't solve anything, what Ah Yu thinks about is how to make herself better in the future, make Aunt Shen better in the future, and make the people who really care about me better in the future!" ”

She didn't say that the Gu family would be better in the future, but just said that the people who really care about her would be better in the future, that is to say, she came from people, there was revenge, and there was kindness to repay kindness, should this child's mind be too careful and narrow-minded, or too simple?

"Okay, grandfather respects your request, but only before your aunt recovers from her illness, and before that, grandfather will carefully consider your marriage!"

After receiving such a promise from Gu Bi, Gu Yu smiled back gratefully, at least she wouldn't worry that her grandfather also had the idea of an old lady, and wanted to send her to the palace as a concubine or a concubine for the son of a powerful person!

She knows very well that with her current status, even if she is favored by the son of a powerful man of a certain high-ranking lord, at most she can only be given the position of a noble concubine, which is already a great value for her, and it is impossible to really marry her as a wife even if it is Zhang Shishilang, who said that he wanted to marry her that day.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but the family doesn't allow it.

"Good boy, you can sit down too! Just look at the style of these children from healthy families and listen to their cooking and talking, which can also be described as a great thing! Gu Bi had no choice but to say this.

Gu Yu said yes with a smile, and walked in the direction where the female dependents were, just took a step, suddenly thought of something, turned around again, and asked, "By the way, grandfather, second uncle, ...... him"

As soon as he asked these words, he heard a hearty voice coming: "Is there something to find my second uncle?" ”

Gu Yu looked for a look, and saw that it was Gu Min, who was wearing a big-sleeved shirt and a lacquered gauze crown, and walked over with a jade ruyi smile, first saluted Gu Bi, and then looked at Gu Yu and said, "I just heard Eleven Niang mention me, is there anything you need help from the second uncle?" ”

Gu Yu was slightly stunned, then bowed, and replied: "Don't dare to bother the second uncle, Ah Yu can't afford it!" ”

"Eleven Niang is now a celebrity who is famous in my Wu County, and she is a role model for my Gu family girl, if there is something to ask for, the second uncle should be happy to do his best, you also know, the second uncle is now serving as a loose horse attendant by the side of the Son of Heaven, and some things can still be said!"

Gu Min said, her eyes were smiling, but that smile made Gu Yu feel a little cold inexplicably, although she didn't have enough evidence to prove that the poison in Shen's body was related to the second room, but with her speculation and perception ability, the second uncle and the Zhou family must be inseparable from this matter!

So what does the second uncle mean by coming to her to say this? is to remind her that he is the pillar of the Gu family, and he is an important minister who can speak by the side of the Son of Heaven, as long as he wants, her fate must be in his hands?

In her deep thoughts, Gu Min looked at her and smiled, and said: "Eleven Niang Bingxue is smart, even the second uncle is happy to see it, if there is something, it is not too late to come to the second uncle at any time!" After speaking, he said to Gu Bi Shili again, "Father, the Son of Heaven and the King of Langya have entered the banquet, and I will go to entertain them well!" With that, he waved his sleeves and strode away.

For some reason, when he heard the words "good hospitality", Gu Yu's eyebrows jumped, and a bad premonition rose in his heart as if he was shrouded in a haze, and he always felt that something bad would happen.

"Ah Yu, what did you just want to ask?" Gu Bi suddenly interrupted her contemplation and asked.

Gu Yu shook his head and replied with a smile: "It's nothing, grandfather, I'm in too!" ”

"Okay, let's go!"

When Gu Yu walked into the tea shed, he saw that the other side separated by a silk screen was already full of female dependents with wooden clogs and fluttering clothes, and at a glance, there was a glimpse of the wives and girls of the Lu family, the Zhang family and the Zhu family, and among all the girls who were dressed up beautifully, Gu Qiniang Gu Sijin in a purple silk and emerald pattern skirt and Gu Shiniang Gu Yun in a moon-white soft and slender skirt were particularly eye-catching.

It turned out that my grandfather not only invited Lang Jun to the banquet, but even the girls from the land of Wu County also came to participate in the banquet of the Gu Mansion.

It seems that this banquet is of great significance, could it be that my grandfather is recruiting the scholars of the land of Wu County for the Son of Heaven and the King of Langya?

Just thinking about it, a voice came from my ear: "Eleven Niang, you are here, I originally wanted to find you in the Dusk Smoke Pavilion and come with you, but I didn't want to get there, but I heard the maid in the pavilion say that you have come!" ”

"Really? Then you're pretty fast, go to my Twilight Pavilion, and you can still walk ahead of me! ”

Gu Yu replied casually, and the implication was self-evident.

The always gentle smile on Gu Shi Niang's face narrowed slightly, and the hand hidden in her sleeve was gently clenched, and at this time, her eyes glanced at Zhou who was sitting in the tea shed at the bottom right.

Zhou Shi was leisurely playing with a jade pot, poured a cup of tea and sent it to Mrs. Gu by the way, and whispered something with a smile, as if she also felt her daughter's gaze, she also suddenly turned her head and cast a look of unknown meaning at Gu Yun.

"Today is an opportunity for you to perform, remember, you are just a concubine, as a concubine, never steal the limelight of your sister, but should show your talent at the right time, this is your way of survival, is the wisdom you should learn, this point, Eleven Niang is an example worthy of your learning!"

"At the banquet, you have been following her, staring at her every move, in front of the children of the Shi clan, she always has to take care of the face of her Gu family girl, and she doesn't dare to do anything to you!"

"This is a chance for you, and a chance for us!"

Thinking of what her mother had told her, Gu Siniang sped up her pace again and chased after Gu Yu.

"Ah Yu, I'm sorry, I lied to you last time, Twelve Lang didn't meet me at the Jinlu Pond that day, but one thing, I didn't lie to you, I did receive a letter from Twelve Lang, and the letter did say that I was asked to meet at the Jinlu Pond, but after I got there, I didn't wait for Twelve Lang to appear, don't believe it, I'll show you!"

As she spoke, Gu Siniang searched out a piece of letterhead and handed it to Gu Yu.
