Su Zixuan accompanied Gu Qingquan of Taihe Hall out of the courtyard.

He was followed by Su Yu, Steward He, and Gu Qingquan's apprentice Lu Qi.

Su Lan stood on the side of the door and asked, "What's the matter, it's so late, and you still invite Dr. Gu to come to the house?" ”

Su Zixuan said, "You go back to the house first, and I'll send Doctor Gu." ”

Su Lan stood still until Su Zixuan sent Gu Qingquan's master and apprentice away, and then returned to the house with them.

Su Zixuan said: "Your grandfather's body has some problems today, it seems that it is not optimistic. ”

Su Lan said: "Grandpa has been lying down for several months, unable to get out of bed or talking, what a sin." ”

Su Zixuan said to He Hongdao: "Lao He, we have to plan early, this is a mess, you can have more snacks and see if you can go to the county seat and buy some of those things." ”

"Don't go to the county seat, the county seat and Evian Town are two heavens." Before Steward He could answer, Su Lan said again: "There is nothing in Evian Town, and most of the county seats don't have anything. Now the north and south directions of the town are sealed, and no casual entry or exit is allowed. Besides, with the current situation, when the people of Evian Town enter the county, they have nothing to do. Beware of being caught as a spy. ”

Su Zixuan thought about it, Su Lan was also telling the truth, and said to the housekeeper again: "Lao He, then you can watch it." ”

He Hongdao agreed and retreated.

There were only three members of the Su family left in the house.

Su Zixuan said: "Recently, my right eyelid has been jumping non-stop, and I feel that something may be wrong. Can Evian's victory be saved? If the militia counterattacks and Evian Town is lost, our home, the White Jade Academy, may be in a catastrophe. And your grandfather, who is so sick that we can't leave if we want to. ”

"Mom, do you regret that you shouldn't have sent me to study in the provincial capital?" Su Lan looked into her mother's eyes and asked.

"It's not that I regret the past, but that I worry about the future." Su Zixuan said, "The matter has come to this, let's take a step at a time." ”

"Mom, don't think about it so much." Su Lan said, "The sky is falling, and there are Red Guards." “

"Lan, don't work too hard, rest early, you can sleep peacefully at home after all."

"yes, got it."

When Su Zixuan got up to leave, he said to Su Yu, "Let's go, let your sister be quiet for a while." ”

Su Yu stood up, but had no intention of leaving: "I want to chat with the third sister and ask some questions." ”

Su Zixuan didn't say anything more, and left alone.

Su Yu turned the folding fan in his hand a few times. He had been playing this action for many years, and he was as skilled as a juggler.

"What's the matter?"

"Sister, there is something to ask for."

"Say."

"What do you think of Gu Zicheng?"

"What is this for?"

"I think Gu Zicheng's title of flying man is a bit exaggerated. He looks chivalrous on the surface, but in fact, he is a mother-in-law and a person who is not good at all. ”

"Whatever you want to say, hurry up and get to the point."

"A few days ago, Gu Zicheng's grandfather, who is also my husband, set a family affair for him, and the girl's family is Fengjuan, the daughter of Boss Lu of Chang Gung Bookstore, who has been cooperating with us for a long time."

Su Yu stopped here and looked at Su Lan.

"Say, keep talking."

"Miss Fengjuan, in fact, she doesn't like Gu Zicheng, and she doesn't want to marry him, and a few days ago, she hanged herself. If it weren't for Taihetang's Lu Qi's timely rescue, I'm afraid everyone would be buried at this time. Didn't our Evian Town change the world, didn't we want to talk about the freedom of marriage? Gu Zicheng and Lu Fengjuan's marriage was not a free marriage, and it was almost forced to die. ”

"What do you want?"

"Actually, Gu Zicheng, he doesn't want this family business, he can't disobey his grandfather's will. I know that he already has someone in his heart. ”

When Su Yu said this, he glanced at Su Lan with slanted eyes.

Su Lan was sitting at the table, wiping the pistol with a rag, as if he didn't particularly care about Gu Zicheng mentioned by Su Yu.

Su Yu continued: "Since both parties are not happy, and the twisted melon is not sweet, third sister, you are a person in the regime, can you find a way to help these two young people and free them from this feudal old-style traditional marriage?" ”

"Mr. Su Yu, haven't you always advocated preserving the tradition and ruling the present with the past, how can you be duplicitous when you encounter something?"

"To say that I am old-fashioned, I really don't know me. Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want. ”

Su Lan listened to Su Yu's words, and there was a hint of joy in her heart.

Gu Zicheng also begged him to help dissolve the marriage, but it turned out that Lu Fengjuan was unwilling.

"What do you need me to do, say it quickly."

"Third sister, Gu Zicheng is your subordinate, and he wants to listen to your words.

As long as he takes the initiative to go to Boss Lu to withdraw from the marriage, what about you, as the deputy commander-in-chief, to emphasize that marriage should be free and cannot be forced, and Boss Lu will not dare to disobey.

In addition, to reveal some secrets to you, Miss Fengjuan has already gotten along with Dr. Lu from Taihetang. ”

"Really? It was the same Lu Qi who accompanied Dr. Gu just now. Su Lan was a little surprised, "This is a good thing, young people should boldly pursue what they like." ”

"Sister, what about you, where are your favorite things?"

"Go, your sister is not an ordinary person, if the revolution is not successful, I will not get married."

"Third sister, you must not be like this, you must get married when you should get married, and it is against human nature and immorality not to get married." Su Yu deliberately seemed to make a fuss.

"Oh, human nature, I haven't heard of it." Su Lan said.

"Let's look back at Zicheng, you can do his work. Boss Lu, you also have to come forward to help Gu Zicheng play a round. ”

Su Lan assembled the polished gun and said, "Understood, Comrade Su Yu, I will definitely implement your instructions." When this battle is fought, I will immediately go to do this dismantling of the marriage. ”

"No, sister, I can't wait any longer. Just because the contradiction was not resolved in time, Feng Juan almost lost her life, and she couldn't delay it any longer, and she didn't know what bigger trouble would happen if she dragged it on. ”

"Okay, we'll do it tomorrow. As long as tomorrow the county militia does not come to attack. Su Lan yawned, "Go to sleep, I'm too tired to do it." ”

Su Yu returned to his room satisfied, and he thought back to what he had just discussed with Lu Qi.

This step by step is going according to plan.

Early the next morning, Su Lan found Gu Zicheng and told him that he could help him break the marriage.

Gu Zicheng was overjoyed.

The two came to Chang Gung Bookstore and explained their intentions to Boss Lu.

Boss Lu was taken aback and firmly disagreed at first.

Su Lan told Boss Lu that Gu Zicheng was now the squad leader of the Red Guards and was ready to participate in the battle at any time.

Later, they may have to attack the county seat, or they may join the regular army to fight in other places.

It's usually hard to see each other, but if you die outside, no one may know.

Boss Lu was reminded by Su Lan's words.

He saw with his own eyes the battle that took place in Chang Gung Bookstore, and he was jealous.

He wanted to agree to withdraw from the marriage, but he was still worried about the few storefront houses along the street of the Gu family.

In addition, a lot of the bride price sent by the Gu family was used by him for bookstore purchases.

If he wanted to return the bride price, he couldn't take it out for a while, and he felt shameless.

Gu Zicheng had already guessed this. He promised that as long as he withdrew from the marriage, he did not have to return the bride price and other gifts he had given before.

After Boss Lu experienced Feng Juan's suicide, he seemed to have seen through a lot of things, and he didn't want to go against Feng Juan's intentions again.

However, for the sake of face, Boss Lu proposed to have another face-to-face interview with Gu Jin, and to get the approval of the old gentleman to withdraw from the marriage.

After all, this is a matter set by two adults, and if you can't listen to a word from the juniors, you will retire the major events of your life.

This gave Gu Zicheng another problem.

He felt that his grandfather's old stubbornness would not agree.

When leaving Chang Gung Bookstore, Su Lan said that she could only help this step, and the old man's side had to rely on Gu Zicheng to figure out a way by himself

Gu Zicheng was in trouble again.
