Chapter 9 Gu Ning's Choice
However, the name does not sound like the momentum of the family at all. Qing'er, if he was just a commoner, my mother would definitely not agree to me being with him. Gu Ning sighed silently when he thought of his mother. She has long passed the age of a woman's marriage, although she is still young and beautiful, but the woman's appearance is impossible to wait, of course she knows this truth, but her mother always refuses many sons who come to propose marriage because her husband's conditions are not good.
Every time she thought about it, she was helpless.
Knowing her worries, Gu Qing comforted: "Sister, you must think clearly, the person who will marry and become your own child in the future is you, and you are not the eldest mother, why do you need to care about other people's opinions? Besides, even if the eldest mother finds a son-in-law who matches you, if you don't like it, can you barely live for a lifetime?"
Reliving again, Gu Qingwei clarified a lot of things, and his thoughts became clearer. Whether it is to herself, to her mother, or everyone around her, she sees it more cheerfully, as long as it does not endanger the lives of her family, she is willing to do it.
After all, it's not easy to get back what you've lost.
Gu Ning's eyes flashed, as if she saw the dawn of hope, Gu Qing's words inexplicably gave her enough courage, but her mother's fierce appearance had taken root in her mind, and she suddenly cringed again.
Sometimes, she not only envies Gu Qing for having a good mother, but also envies Gu Qing as a person, her temperament, her liveliness, and she has many advantages, but she can't learn a little.
"Everything has to be tried to get an answer, and if you just dwell on your own fantasies, you will never have an answer. "Gu Qing is like a young adult, and he has a clear eye when it comes to the big truth.
I don't know why, Gu Ning always felt that since that fall, the immaturity and recklessness in Gu Qing's eyes were gone, replaced by calmness and calmness.
Xu felt that she was thinking too much, Gu Ning smiled self-deprecatingly, she was not bad, how could she envy others so fascinated?
"Hmm...... Later, I'll talk to my father about giving it a try. She said with some hesitation.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news. ”
The study room was brightly lit, the huge figure was projected on the wall by candlelight, the paper and ink on the bookcase were still new, Master Gu sat on the chair and thought about things, and his scheming eyes made people look unreal.
Gu Ning stood outside the door and had a lot of courage before knocking lightly on the door and said, "Father, it's me, Gu Ning." ”
There was a moment of silence in the study, and Master Gu cleared his throat and said loudly: "It's Ning'er, come in." ”
Gu Ning pushed the door in when he heard the sound, stood at the door and cheered himself up. Just as Gu Ning was about to salute, Master Gu interrupted her with a smile and said, "Don't be limited to these etiquettes in your own family, just sit down." ”
Gu Ning was slightly stunned, in the past, his father was the most polite person in the house, and he couldn't even make a sound when he ate, but today he took the initiative to say this, which was really a bit surprising.
"Say, what's the matter with me?" Master Gu was the first to speak.
Gu Ning's cheeks flushed, and the shyness of her daughter's family was immediately revealed, and she didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
"If I'm not mistaken, there's you behind the screen today. Master Gu looked at her, this was an affirmative sentence, not a question, which showed that he already knew.
“...... Yes. Gu Ning paused, and remembered what Gu Qing said, she really should fight for herself, so she let go of her face and said firmly: "Father, today Ning'er looked at the person you received, the first time we met, Ning'er felt that he was dignified, he should be the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he was ...... I also have feelings for him in my heart. ”
Spit out all the words hidden in her heart, Gu Ning felt very happy, and suddenly lowered her head and became annoyed, this is what she said in her heart, but if others listen to her as a joke, how should she face it?
There has been no answer from the front, Master Gu didn't know what to say, Gu Ning's words were really beyond his expectations, he didn't accept or refuse, only said lightly: "Your mother will scold you." ”
"Ning'er is not afraid of her mother. When Gu Ning heard this, he raised his head sharply and said. Mother's mother, it's always her mother who is linked to her, she has been like this since she was a child, what color clothes she wears, what kind of hair accessories she wears, her mother has the final say, think about it carefully, in the past ten years, she really hasn't made her own decisions.
"Ning'er, you are the second lady in the house, you can't lose the rules. Master Gu shouted in a deep voice, he stared at her, his dark eyes couldn't see the meaning clearly, Gu Ning's attitude was so resolute, he thought for a while, and said in a relaxed tone: "You go back first, I'll discuss it with your mother." ”
Master Gu's acceptance made Gu Ning's face happy, and she immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Father is complete." ”
"Wait. Suddenly stopped her again, the light reflected on Master Gu's face, dim and unclear, "Why did you identify him?"
Gu Ning turned his back to him, couldn't see her face clearly, and only felt that her voice was much softer, "Ning'er only wishes to promise one person in her life, and when she saw that manhood was extraordinary, she secretly belonged in her heart." ”
Only one person is willing to make a promise.
"Father, is there anything else?" she asked, looking back, her expression hard to hide her joy.
Master Gu paused, his eyes darkened, and then he waved his hand, shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”
The daughter quit first. Gu Ning leaned over slightly and turned to leave.
Master Gu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, not knowing what he was planning. He is the imperial historian of the court, mainly responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, although there is the emperor's support on the top of his head, but the exercise of supervision power in the court has also offended many people, and there are people targeting him openly and secretly, which is really not good for his career, so he must prepare a back road for himself.
Thinking of his three children again, the eldest son Gu Xiu is dedicated to practicing martial arts, and wants to become a soldier and serve the country loyally, but he still lacks a little courage; the second daughter Gu Ning's words just now made him think about it, and he should indeed find a marriage for her, and he can't let the willow leaves mess around; and the third daughter Gu Qing, she is at the age of flowers, and it is not difficult to find a good husband, but ...... Thinking of this, Master Gu sighed and wandered between family affection and power.
Since receiving the distinguished guests that day, Yu Niang has stayed in the courtyard for the past few days, and no longer goes to the matchmaker to inquire about the unmarried sons and brothers in the capital, but guards Gu Qing all day long to learn female red and qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Compared with the simple language instructions before, now Yu Niang personally went into battle and taught Gu Qing the same way.
Sometimes when it rises, Ah Huan will come to mix together.
