Chapter 42: Expectations
"Well, I'll cherish it, I'm not going to lose it."
As the two men spoke, the carriage slowly stopped.
"Master, the eldest and youngest grandmothers have arrived, and the eldest lady is waiting for you outside the mansion!" The maid lifted the curtain and said.
"I see, let's get out." Leng Yushan answered, and then walked out of the carriage with Ye.
"Daddy, you're finally here," Leng Shuang'er greeted him, grabbed Ye's arm, and then said, "Dad, mother, let's go home quickly!" ”
"Hmm." Ye smiled kindly and nodded.
Leng Yushan looked at his daughter's happy face, and smiled helplessly, this daughter is older and has her own ideas.
Leng Yushan and Leng Shuang'er returned home together, Leng Yushan helped his wife sit down, then looked at his daughter and asked, "Shuang'er, what are you looking for us?" ”
Leng Shuang'er took out a letter from her sleeve pocket, "This is a letter from home, it's Gu Tingyu."
”
"This kid really sent you a letter." Ye Shi looked at his daughter in surprise, "Shuang'er, what are you going to do with this letter?" ”
"I'm going to write him a letter and tell him that after I pass the exam, I will go to the capital to find him in person, and then talk about our marriage, and I believe that I can pass the township exam."
"Do you really have that confidence?" Leng Yushan raised his eyebrows and asked, although her daughter's studies are very good, but after all, this is a township exam, which is not as simple as the provincial exam, especially this kind of topic is more tricky, even if you lift people, you may not be able to pass the exam.
Leng Shuang'er nodded, "Dad, do you believe me?" ”
"Well, since you've said it all, I can't help it." Leng Yushan said bitterly, "If you want to gain fame, of course I, as a father, will support you, I just hope you don't disappoint us too much." ”
"Dad, don't worry! I'm going to get famous. Leng Shuang'er swore and said, "I have asked a great Confucian, if he can help me with the details, maybe I can be successfully admitted to Xiucai." ”
"That's amazing." Leng Yushan asked in surprise.
"Dad, don't ask again, you just need to know that your daughter and I will definitely be able to pass the Xiucai exam." Leng Shuang'er said with a smile, she is the one who wants to be a big official!
"Okay, then I'll wait and see." Leng Yushan shook his head with a smile and said, this daughter is getting more and more naughty, she is spoiled by him and her mother, alas!
The father and daughter were chatting, and a maid came over with a letter, "Old lady, this is the letter that the eldest lady just received, and the slave doesn't know who sent it." ”
Leng Yushan took the letter, opened the envelope, and then took out the stationery.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, the son-in-law received the package sent by the father-in-law and mother-in-law today, and I am very relieved, the father-in-law and mother-in-law love me so much, it really makes the son-in-law panic, the son-in-law hereby congratulates the father-in-law and mother-in-law on a happy New Year, forever healthy and long-lived, in addition, after this year's tax is paid, the son-in-law will send someone to send the silver ticket to the house, and the son-in-law will first wait for the good news of the father-in-law and mother-in-law."
The letter is clearly written, and in addition to saying a few auspicious words, some words of blessing are also written.
After reading the letter, Leng Yushan handed the letter to Leng Shuang'er, "Shuang'er, what do you think of this letter?" ”
Leng Shuang'er glanced at the contents of the envelope, and then said: "I think what the letter says is very good, but I don't know who he is, so I want you to check the identity of this person for me." ”
"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate." Leng Yushan nodded, "Shuang'er, Dad knows that you want to divorce that kid from the Yang family, but Dad also knows that you will definitely be reluctant to do so, so you give him a while longer, let him think it through, and when he changes his mind, we will discuss your marriage." ”
What Leng Yushan said makes sense, but Leng Shuang'er doesn't dare to bet at all now!
What if this man suddenly changes his mind! Cold Frost didn't dare to take risks.
Leng Yushan and his wife looked at their baby daughter and said: "Shuang'er, you don't have to worry, your father and mother will not force you, but your father and mother hope that you can find someone who really likes you, this Gu Tingyu looks really good, and my father and mother also hope that you can be together." ”
"Dad, don't worry! My daughter will definitely grasp her marriage and will definitely not disappoint your expectations of me. Leng Shuang'er said with a smile.
She is not the only daughter of Leng Yushan and the Ye family, and her third brother and sister are not crawling out of the Ye family's belly, such a daughter, they will not agree.
"Shuang'er, you must know that you are the most distressed daughter of our husband and wife, and we can't bear to watch you jump into the fire pit." Ye gently patted the back of his daughter's hand and said, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, Daddy will be on your side, and Daddy will not allow anyone to hurt you." ”
"Yes, thank you, mother." Leng Shuang'er hugged Ye Shi with a smile and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will protect myself, no matter what, I will ensure that you are safe and sound, you and your father don't work too hard, I will solve these trivial things by myself." ”
Ye Shi's heart warmed when she listened to her daughter's words, and she nodded, "Well, then you pay attention to your own safety." ”
"I know," Cold Frost nodded in agreement.
"Dad, I'll go back to my room to rest first." Leng Shuang'er turned around and left, leaving only Leng Yushan and the Ye family.
After returning to the house, Cold Frost lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
"Frost, are you worried about tomorrow's exam?" When Leng Yushan entered the door, he saw his daughter frowning, as if she was thinking about something troublesome, so she asked.
"I ......" Leng Shuang'er hesitated, how should she tell her father, it
"Dad, don't worry! I know what to do, Dad, go to bed early! Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Leng Shuang'er said.
"You're just hard-mouthed." Leng Yushan sighed, "Okay, then you should also hurry up and rest!" ”
After Leng Yushan left, Leng Shuang'er immediately changed her clothes, and after putting on her shoes and socks, Leng Shuang'er quietly came to the address of Gu Tingyu's letter to herself with her personal maid Hongyu, this address is not very far from here, and if you ride a horse, you can get it with about a stick of incense.
Leng Shuang'er looked at the mansion in front of her, wondering in her heart, could this person live in this place? He doesn't look like an ordinary rich boy, but he doesn't reveal his identity, what does he want to do!
"Girl, wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to rush over like this?" Hongyu said with some concern.
Leng Shuang'er waved her hand, "It's okay, he's written to me, let's go over and see what he commands, he won't embarrass me." ”
Sure enough, after Leng Shuang'er and Hongyu knocked on the door, footsteps sounded inside, and as the footsteps slowly approached, the door creaked open, and Leng Shuang'er looked up, but was startled.
"Gu Tingyu, why are you here?" Cold Frost exclaimed.
Gu Tingyu hooked his lips slightly and smiled, "Shuang'er, I'm waiting for you to come to me, let's go in and talk!" ”
Leng Shuang'er looked at him in a trance, then nodded, and followed Gu Tingyu towards the study.
Gu Tingyu sat on the chair, and Leng Shuang'er stood in front of Gu Tingyu, "Say, what is the matter with you coming to me." ”
Leng Shuang'er asked bluntly, she always felt that there must be something greasy in this.
"Shuang'er, I came to you this time because I want to ask you for help," Gu Tingyu said and took out a note from his arms, and then put it on the table, "Shuang'er, take a look at this thing, maybe you will know the answer." ”
Leng Shuang'er took the note suspiciously, unfolded it and looked at the words on it, and her face suddenly changed.
"How? Do you understand? Gu Tingyu said indifferently.
Leng Shuang'er took a deep breath, and then said, "Gu Tingyu, what do you want to do?" ”
"I will marry you." Gu Tingyu opened his mouth slowly, his eyes staring at Leng Shuang'er without blinking for a moment.
"Gu Tingyu, you know my character, you will only backfire by doing this, I will never agree." Leng Shuang'er said through gritted teeth.
"Of course I know your character, you won't agree to marry me, but I don't want to marry another woman, what I want is you." Gu Tingyu said seriously.
His wish in this life is just to stay with Leng Shuang'er for the rest of his life, and as for other women, he can't look down on them.
"You ......" Leng Shuang'er was a little angry, this kind of feeling of being threatened was very unpleasant, but Gu Tingyu grabbed her weakness again, if she didn't follow Gu Tingyu's method, then Leng Yushan and Ye would definitely be worried.
Leng Shuang'er was silent for a long time, and then asked, "If I agree to marry you, how can you help my brother?" ”
"As long as I'm alive, I won't let anything happen to your brother." Gu Tingyu said solemnly.
Leng Shuang'er lowered her head and said for a long time: "Okay, then I believe you." ”
Although I don't know why Gu Tingyu chose to marry her, but since she has reached this point, she will not refuse, after all, her current situation is already very critical, if there is anything wrong with her brother, she will definitely not forgive herself.
Leng Yushan and the Ye family did not stop after knowing that Leng Shuang'er agreed to Gu Tingyu's marriage proposal, after all, in this era, once a woman agrees to someone's marriage proposal, she must keep her promise, otherwise she will be spurned.
Although Leng Yushan and the Ye family did not approve of Leng Shuang'er agreeing to Gu Tingyu's proposal so quickly, they thought that their son had reached the age of talking about marriage, and if he delayed it any longer, it would not be good for his career, so they agreed with the boat.
"Our Leng family will not treat you badly, and we have prepared your dowry, don't worry!" Ye gently stroked Leng Shuang'er's hair, she knew that Leng Shuang'er didn't like these, but for the sake of her brother, she could only wronged herself.
Leng Shuang'er didn't say anything, she has been accompanying Leng Yushan and Ye Shi for the past few days, and occasionally goes to see Leng Yushan's condition, her heart is full of guilt, if it weren't for her, Leng Yushan wouldn't have to bear these pains at all, all of this is to blame her, all blame her, it was she who hurt Leng Yushan and Ye, and she made them suffer.
Her heart was full of remorse, and if she could, she hoped that she could go back in time and change all this, so that Cold Rain Mountain would not be harmed.
In the past few days, she has also thought clearly, instead of letting her blame herself, it is better to try her best to help Leng Yushan survive this catastrophe.
"Daddy, don't worry, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely handle it." Leng Yushan said with a smile.
Gu Tingyu's subordinates quickly sent the dowry to Lengfu, and Gu Tingyu also sent secret guards to protect Lengyu Mountain.
Leng Yushan looked at the pile of gold, silver, jewelry, and silk satin, and he was relieved.
Although it is said that Leng Shuang'er is a concubine, but this time Gu Tingyu can come up with such a generous dowry, it is enough to see that he is very sincere.
His son has always been very assertive, and he doesn't know what Gu Tingyu's sudden proposal is for? But no matter what, Leng Yushan was very grateful to Gu Tingyu.
Leng Yushan and Ye both told Leng Shuang'er about this matter, and Leng Shuang'er was also very surprised when she heard about it.
She looked at the boxes of rare treasures, and finally her eyes fell on Leng Yushan's body.
"Daddy, let's go out first, I want to talk to Gu Tingyu alone, I have a lot of things I want to ask him." Leng Shuang'er said.
"Good!" Leng Yushan nodded, and then pulled Ye Shi out.
