"Cheng Yan, don't be kidding!"

Gu Yunji was so shocked that she almost jumped up, with a ghostly expression: "I, I'm worried about my sister's marriage now, don't entertain me at this time!" ”

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious." Cheng Yan smiled and solemnized, "I, Cheng Yan, really want to ask to marry your sister Gu Yunji, Gu Yunqiao." ”

"I have admired Ling Mei for a long time, she will not marry in this life, I am willing to hire her as my wife, I will spend the rest of my life together, and I implore Gu Sangongzi to complete it." As he spoke, Cheng Yan stood up and bowed to Gu Yunji uprightly.

Gu Yunji's eyes bulged widely, and he was inexplicably stunned, and looked around at Cheng Yan a few times, and saw that he didn't seem to be telling a lie, so he finally believed it: "...... You, are you serious? ”

Cheng Yan said: "It couldn't be more true. ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Gu Yunji sat down without saying a word, his mind was a little confused, and it took a while to remember something, and asked, "You say...... How long have you admired my sister? When did it start? How did I not know? ”

"Probably...... The Mid-Autumn Festival when you and I first entered the Hanlin Academy? Cheng Yan thought about it carefully and muttered, "It's been almost two years now. Of course, it may have been earlier, but I didn't realize it, but the Mid-Autumn Festival was indeed the most memorable point in time. ”

Gu Yunji thought about it, when he found Gu Yunqiao who was running around in the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, the other party was indeed staying with Cheng Yan, and it seemed that he had been staying for a while, he didn't know what happened between the two, maybe he really liked it at that time.

One is a sister-in-law, the other is a brotherly friend, Gu Yunji has never thought about the two of them in this regard, he was shocked at first, and then there was an inexplicable unhappiness in his heart, glaring at Cheng Yan and said: "In this case, why didn't you tell me earlier?" I heard that my sister was going to get married, so I said it, what do you think! ”

Cheng Yan said helplessly: "I am the same age as you, the eldest Ling Mei is four years old, although this age difference is nothing, but at that time, Ling Mei was not yet a child. If I tell you that I have my thoughts on fourteen-year-old Ling Mei, won't you beat me out like a beast? ”

Gu Yunji thought about it for a while and found that this was indeed the case, and suddenly choked. However, after thinking about it, he felt that there was no difference between the two, whether Cheng Yan said it or not, he had thoughts about the fourteen-year-old Gu Yunqiao, and he was still a "beast", he should have beaten him out at this time!

Just when Gu Yunji was thinking about what kind of guy would be more convenient, Cheng Yan said again: "As for why I say it now, it's because I thought that Ling Mei would not marry until she was seventeen or eighteen years old, but I didn't expect it to be so early." If I knew in advance that your parents were already proposing marriage to her, would I be able to let that kid from the Xia family take advantage of this loophole? ”

Seeing Cheng Yan's confident look, Gu Yunji's teeth became more and more itchy: "Listening to what you mean, how can it seem that as soon as you ask to marry, I can marry Qiaoqiao to you?" Don't be too confident in yourself! ”

Cheng Yan was not surprised by Gu Yunji's reaction, and smiled at him good-naturedly: "So, I'm going to 'sell' myself to you now." But where the promotion, of course, is the most effective in the comparison of similar goods, since your family is very satisfied with the second son of Xia, then I will compare with him. ”

"First of all, the future, Xia Sheng is in the fifteenth middle school, and it is very likely that he will be a jinshi next time, and he is indeed a rare genius. But even if the future is promising, it is not as solid as my one-size-fits-all champion, right? My fame and official position are all real, and I don't need to wait for the future to be fulfilled. ”

"Secondly, my family's family is indeed not high, but the upstart of the imperial examination has a great future. What's more, your family is already interested in finding someone with a lower family to marry a daughter, so that you are not afraid of your daughter being bullied, I am just right. And I have no father or mother, I am alone, the family relationship is simpler than the Xia family, if Sister Ling marries, she is the only hostess in the family, there is no messy rules, what do you want. ”

"Finally, in terms of appearance, I Cheng Yan dare not say that it is one in a million, at least one in a hundred, a leader in the same age; In terms of character, you have been friends with me for many years, you know best what I look like, the kindness of the Xia family may be pretended, I can't pretend to be in front of you for so many years, right? One is a strange family that I don't know much about, and the other is a friend who knows the roots, and I am confident that I am still a little more advantageous. ”

Cheng Yan listed them in turn unhurriedly, with a clear and logical order, and Gu Yunji became more and more shaken when he heard it, and finally he said: "There is only one place where I am slightly inferior to Xia Ergongzi, and that is that I am four years older than Ling Mei, and in terms of age, he is not as good as Ling Mei." ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Yan smiled, and his eyes showed a sense of narrowness: "But I don't think this is a disadvantage, after all, as the old saying goes, age hurts people." ”

"What's the use of hurting people? Then my sister has to be willing to be hurt by you! My sister is the youngest child in the family, she grew up in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she has three older brothers, and there are more people who love her! ”

Looking at Cheng Yan's appearance, Gu Yunji always felt that he was underbeaten, and he couldn't go up or down in one breath in his chest, neither did he spit it out, nor did he swallow it. Thinking about it carefully, Cheng Yan is indeed a good brother-in-law, and he is very sincere in talking to him at the moment, without any frivolity, but for some reason, he is just not happy.

Gu Yunji adjusted her emotions and said: "Even if you are really happy with Qiaoqiao, in my opinion, Qiaoqiao treats you as half a brother and has no affection for you, she doesn't want to marry Xia Sheng, but she may not be willing to marry you." Even if you are better than Xia Sheng, as long as Qiaoqiao does not agree, I will not let her marry you. ”

Cheng Yan felt that this was not a problem, and said as a matter of course: "It doesn't matter if she doesn't have a relationship with me, I just have a relationship with her, and the relationship can be cultivated slowly, not in a hurry." Besides—I think Sister Ling will agree. ”

"Not only because I meet all the conditions that an ideal husband should have, but also because I can accept that she will not have children and let her avoid the pain of childbirth. And this is something that Xia Sheng and even most men in the world can't do. ”

Gu Yunji was caught off guard by Cheng Yan's idea of marrying his sister at first, but at this moment he finally remembered that this was the origin of their original topic, and it was also the key contradiction between Gu Yunqiao's reluctance to marry.

Hearing Cheng Yan's words, Gu Yunji was a little incomprehensible: "Even if you have affection for Qiaoqiao, but you have only met a few times, can you be willing to follow her wishes and not have children?" ”

Men in this era regard heirs very seriously, but it is impossible not to want their own children as long as they are in normal health. Even Gu Yunji himself saw the thrill of his wife's dystocia with his own eyes, and his psychology was stimulated, so he was able to make up his mind to drink the medicine of the heir.

And Cheng Yan, as a man, does not have a deep and intuitive understanding of women giving birth, to say that he can do this for Gu Yunqiao just by virtue of his love for her, Gu Yunji will never believe it.
