Chapter 170: Consent
Speaking of the matter of renewing Gu Changfei's strings, the old lady pondered for a long time, and finally nodded. After all, now the old lady is seriously ill and has no time to take care of the housekeeper. But how can it be good if there is no one to take care of the huge family business? If nothing else, even if it is handed over to Gu Changfei, the old lady is also extremely uneasy.
Since the old lady had agreed, Gu Wanyin looked at the Li family.
Li pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and then solemnly talked about the Zhang family in Henan: "The second brother is not young now, if he finds someone who is too young, there will inevitably be some old husbands and young wives." There are always a lot of hidden dangers. I inquired that there is a good one in Zhangjia, Henan. This year, he is already twenty-six or seventeen years old, he is older, and his appearance is not outstanding, and he is still a concubine. But the character is excellent. β
"Henan Zhangjia?" The old lady thought about it for a while, and was a little surprised: "The Zhang family in Henan is a big family. Even if their daughter is a concubine's daughter, she is extremely precious. As soon as he reached the age of Jilu, there were people who stepped through the threshold. Why is this girl so old and unmarried? Could it be some hidden disease? β
Li shook his head and laughed: "This old lady, you guessed wrong. This girl was also unlucky, she was selected to enter the palace, but she has not been favored, and now that she is old, she will be sent home. "The Zhang family is a big family, and this girl has entered the palace again. It's always better to see things than to be out there. Although he is a lot older, it is just right to marry and continue to be a string.
"Have you been in the palace?" The old lady frowned, and then sighed: "In this case, the eldest daughter-in-law, you go to the palace and let Concubine Rong inquire about the girl's temper." If it's suitable, it's good, if it's not suitable...... "In a place like that in the palace, there are a lot of fish and dragons, and if you can't keep it, this girl is a bad one."
Li Shi was stunned for a moment. glanced sideways at Gu Wanyin.
Gu Wanyin bowed slightly. Li responded with a smile. It's just that he sighed in his heart: I don't know how long can Concubine Rong hide the news of her loss of the Holy Family?
However, what worries the Li family the most is that Concubine Rong is now out of favor. Even with the big house and three rooms, she was reprimanded by the saint, can the girl from the Zhang family in Henan be willing to marry? These days, the Li family has been grasping both ends, and he is already tired, and he can't wait to unload the burden of the Gu family's second room immediately, so he is also very concerned about the continuation of the string.
"Aunt Qi, what do you think?" The matter was barely settled, and Gu Wanyin turned her head to look at the Qi family. The Qi clan has never spoken, and she deliberately wants the Qi clan to speak. Not for anything else. Just to make Qi's heart bad. The things that Qi did that made her feel bad at the beginning, she is now slowly settling accounts with Qi family.
Qi's face was naturally not good-looking, but in the face of Gu Wanyin's burning gaze, Qi had to stiffly squeeze out a smile: "The concubine thinks it's very good." β
"Aunt Qi is really a generous person." Gu Wanyin smiled even brighter. He immediately glanced at the old lady. said earnestly: "Aunt Qi rest assured, even after the continuation, we will never wronged Auntie." My aunt is good to our family. We all remember it. Speaking of this, she looked at the old lady with a smile, "Grandmother said that is not the truth?" β
The old lady naturally nodded, and her tone was very kind and kind: "The second girl is very right. That's exactly what happened. β
Qi lowered his head, except for his pale face, his expression was more miserable than usual. There was nothing unusual about it. It can be seen that he is extremely patient.
Because the old lady was sick, she ate light food. Therefore, Gu Wanyin and Li had another meal in the side hall. The Qi family stayed behind to serve the old lady.
"Father, please ask Big Peton to explain." Gu Wanyin sighed and looked at Li pleadingly.
Li smiled and waved his hand, extremely cordial: "Where is this?" It's all family. I hope you all are well. I also think very well about that girl, but where do I go to inquire now? β
"No need to ask." Gu Wanyin smiled slightly, and looked down at a bluegrass embroidered on her handkerchief: "The old lady is old, so we shouldn't let her worry about everything." Besides, how can we find out about the affairs in the palace? "Now the wind in the palace is sensitive, and if you are not careful, you will make a big mistake. In her opinion, even if Concubine Rong is willing to help inquire, she should not trouble Concubine Rong. Besides, in a place like the palace, how many people live with masks? Even if you hear it, how many layers can you believe?
Li Shi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't recognize Gu Wanyin. In the past, she had always obeyed the old lady's words, never disobeyed or deceived, but now she ......
Seeing Li's apprehension and suspicion, Gu Wanyin looked up at Li, her eyes were as bright as stars, and they were shining: "If I didn't inquire about my relatives, how could I let my eldest aunt ask?" Besides, if Grandmother is to really rest, these things can no longer make her cΔo heart. And I didn't hide it from my aunt that I wanted to keep the foundation for my brother and younger brother to live in peace. Human beings, naturally, are selfish. β
Li Shi was shocked by her words, like an initiation. Human beings, naturally, are selfish. The old lady now sees that the day is not as good as the day, like the oil running out of the lamp, and I don't know when and when it will be extinguished. Gu Changfei is unreliable, the Qi family is a powerful one, Cong Rui went to the border pass, but Cong Qi is so young. If the old lady goes, what will happen to the second room of the Gu family? When the time comes, the Qi clan may take the opportunity to hold Gu Changfei in check, and then detain the middle feed. At that time, the sister-in-law may not be as good as the concubine.
Therefore, Gu Wanyin will put her hand into the Gu family. It seems that the hand is stretched too long, but if you think about it, it is also a way to prevent the future. At least, if the second room of the Gu family is held in Gu Wanyin's hands, Gu Congrui and Gu Congqi will never suffer.
After weighing for a moment, Li finally laughed again, and looked at Gu Wanyin's gaze much mellow: "The eldest aunt will always help you." In a word, it can be regarded as responding to Gu Wanyin's request, and it can be regarded as agreeing to stand on Gu Wanyin's side. After all, no matter what, a son-in-law is a son-in-law. That is the serious young master and heir of the Gu family.
It's just that Li Shi thought about it and couldn't help but ask again: "But although the girl from the Zhang family in Henan is older, she is also in good health and suitable for childbirth." Although your father is middle-aged, it does not necessarily mean that he will not let Zhang conceive again. When the time comesβ" Although the son born to Mrs. Xuxian is not as good as the original match of the main room, he is also a son-in-law. When the time comes, Zhang's will hold the feed, and it will be a difficult thing to say.
However, Gu Wanyin didn't care, and smiled lightly and said something in Li's ear. After all, she is young, and when she talks about such a topic, she will inevitably blush and can't let go.
After Li Shi listened to her words, his eyes widened in horror, and he looked at Gu Wanyin in disbelief, his voice trembling a little: "You mean-you mean-"
Seeing that Li was a little out of shape, Gu Wanyin hurriedly whispered to reassure: "Don't get excited, auntie, this is a good thing, isn't it?" β
Li came back to his senses and hurriedly swallowed the following sentences raw. After taking another big sip of tea, he slowly calmed down, and when he spoke again, he smiled a little bitterly: "A good thing is indeed a good thing." It's just that...... But that's fine, there are too many sons-in-law, and they don't have the same biological mothers, which is a disaster after all. Your father has had your brother and your brother's sister-in-law, and it is enough. It's just that this matter must not be well known. β
"It's nature." Seeing that Li nodded in response, Gu Wanyin also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Li Shi's gaze even more grateful. "Naturally, I won't talk about it again. The knowledge is also far away in Henan, and Zhang himself will not mention it, so no one else will know about it. β
"That's good." Lee let out a sigh of relief. In just a moment, she broke out in a cold sweat. It's not that she's making too much fuss, but this matter is really a bit appalling. However, looking at Gu Wanyin's gaze, he was a little admired: "It's hard for you to be so thoughtful at your young age." Although some of them are not good for your father, they are good for your brother and brother. "Finding such a person, I don't know how much effort Gu Wanyin has put into probing before and after. What's even more embarrassing is that Gu Wanyin has such guts.
You know, once people know about it. Gu Wanyin will be labeled as vicious and unfilial. But it is precisely because of this that Li feels that it is even more valuable. There are not a few brothers who are siblings of the same mother, but it is extremely rare to be willing to pay for their brothers.
"This is thanks to your help, aunt." Gu Wanyin looked at Li gratefully and seriously: "The eldest aunt is like a mother to me and my brother and sister. Wanyin thanked you here. β
Li Shi was a little embarrassed to be said, and hurriedly diverted the topic: "Okay, it's almost time to set the meal." β
Talking about Gu Peiyin's marriage during the banquet, Li sighed: "Isn't it embarrassing to be high or low?" I am just such a girl, if I marry high, I am afraid that she will be wronged in my in-law's family in the future, and if I marry low, I am afraid that she will suffer a hard life in the future. In addition, your uncle was affected by Concubine Rong this time, and he was reprimanded a lot, and his official position also changed. The few that were already asking questions stopped coming to the door. Fortunately, she is not too old, and she is not afraid to stay for another year or two. β
"Auntie, don't be in a hurry, look for it slowly. Marriage is a major event, and it can't be child's play. Gu Wanyin smiled and comforted: "Besides, now that I am married, I realize that women are most comfortable when they are still girls at home." Once you get married, it's not that simple. Mother-in-law and father-in-law have to serve, and husbands have to serve. If there are some cousins, it will be even more difficult to get along. β
"Isn't it?" Li glanced at Gu Wanyin with some distress: "Speaking of which, you have also suffered." β
Gu Wanyin was silent for a moment, but shook her head with a smile, her eyes were crystal clear, and there was no reluctance between the flow of brilliance: "I am extremely happy." If I hadn't married Zhou Ruijing, I don't know what would happen to me in the future. "It was her luck to meet Zhou Ruijing. In comparison, the old lady of the Zhou family is not welcome and the second wife is finding fault everywhere, both of which seem so insignificant.
