Chapter 59: Mrs. Tai's good grandson who is ready to leave home
Maybe Tiangong is sympathetic to the hot and cold state of the world that Xie Changbai has encountered over the years, the weakness of human affection and the love that he has encountered at the moment, when Hai Huanting said those words, a thunder suddenly sounded from the window, the sound of thunder was deafening, and a lightning bolt also flashed out of the window, which illuminated Xie Changbai's unbelievable expression at a glance, and it was also at this moment that Gu Ruosu saw Xie Changbai's eyes reddening, and a teardrop seemed to slide over Xie Changbai's face, fleeting.
After the thunder, it rained heavily outside the house, the willows swayed the soft willow silk in the wind and rain, the smoke wisps weaved into thousands of spring sorrows, the delicate begonias were inevitably bent under the beating of the raindrops, and the white petals of the pear blossoms were also overwhelmed and fell like snowflakes.
"Sister Huanting, you really only have brother and sister love for me, but you don't have the slightest love between men and women." Xie Changbai didn't care about the rain outside the window, and only looked at Hai Wanting with a pair of eyes and said.
"Naturally, Wan Ting, I have not had a brother since I was a child, and I have always been envious that my sister can have a brother like Cousin Changyu, and I am eager for me to have a brother myself.
Unexpectedly, Pingbai caused so many things, so that Brother Changbai, you misunderstood that it was me, in the future, Brother Changbai should not call me Sister Huanting again, just call me Sister Haijia. Hai Wanting lowered her eyebrows, but refused to look directly at Xie Changbai, and still said these words ruthlessly.
"Yes, Changbai, you are just right when you are young, and you don't know what it means to be a man or a woman, maybe you don't have to love Huanting for men and women, just like Huanting, they are all brothers and sisters." Hai's timely opening helped Hai Huanting clear up her relationship with Xie Changbai.
Gu Ruosu heard that the two aunts and nephews sang and harmonized the affairs of men and women and turned black and white into what kind of so-called brother and sister relationship, she really frowned, and was about to say a few words for Xie Changbai, but the Hai clan directly blocked Gu Ruosu with the following words.
"Mother, you may not know, a few days ago, my niece's father, that is, my eldest brother, sent a letter, saying that he and his father had seen a good marriage for Huan Ting in his hometown, and the other party was the grandson of the old marquis Zhang of Chengxuan, with a solid family background, a talent, and he was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, which can be said to have a promising future, and now he is just waiting for the two families to settle down and discuss this matter."
"The door of the city Xuanhou is noble, the family education is very strict, and he also takes a fancy to our family Wanting is from a famous family, and has a good conduct, she is a lady, and now there is no trouble with this matter, in the end, it is not our family.
Therefore, the daughter-in-law specially begged her mother for a favor, the two children were just young Mu Ai, and she asked her mother to help suppress this matter, and when she went back and waited for my niece to get married, she would add a dowry to my niece in the name of your mother, which was considered to give my niece a face. ”
When Gu Ruosu heard this, she originally wanted to say a word or two for Xie Changbai, but suddenly it was stuck in her throat and couldn't say it, if Hai Huanting hadn't allowed someone, then she opened her mouth and said that the two children were affectionate, it didn't hurt, maybe it was still a beautiful talk of young Mu Ai, but at this moment, Hai Huanting promised someone, and she was still a big family, if she opened her mouth again, it would be to deliberately destroy the reputation of the girl's family, ruin her good marriage, and forcibly stand up for Xie Changbai, which is quite a bit of bullying the small and bullying the weak.
When Gu Ruosu thought of this, he didn't speak very easily, so he had to set his eyes on Xie Changbai, who was silent.
"Yes...... Since...... The sister of the Hai family said this, then I don't want to force anything, it's all my wishful thinking, I thought I talked about it with you, sister...... I already have affection, but I bothered my sister and hurt my sister's reputation. Xie Changbai's eyes were red, and he suddenly said with a relaxed expression.
"It's also troublesome grandmother, I'm tired for my uncompetitive grandson, isn't it Changbai." Xie Changbai turned around again and said to Gu Ruosu like this.
"When the sister of the Hai family gets married, our Xie family will definitely prepare a generous gift to our sister to talk about our rudeness today."
After speaking, Xie Changbai bowed deeply to Hai Huanting to express his apology.
Hai Huanting accepted this gift as usual, but the maid beside her saw that the hand under Hai Huanting's sleeve had already pinched out several marks for herself with her long nails, red and purple, and she looked strange and sad.
She is a slave maid is actually quite distressed by her own miss, the situation is not good, except for the false name of an eldest daughter, there is nothing to want, it is rare to meet a destined person, but the destined person is a low status, but he does not dare to let go of his hand to fight for himself, but he has to be separated from the destined person, which is really pitiful.
Everyone present, except for Hai Huanting and this maid, no one can know one or two of the pain in Hai Huanting's heart at this moment, only Hai Huanting's ruthlessness at the moment.
Even Gu Ruosu, who boasts of her vicious vision, is the same, she thinks that Hai Huanting may have affection for Xie Changbai, but the so-called love is still not comparable to those actual interests, but this is also human nature, she doesn't want to accuse her of anything, she only feels sorry for Xie Changbai's full of affection, if not, why not make it clear to Xie Changbai, a simple child? gave him hope, but he privately found a good husband's family, and asked Xie Changbai to come to her to make decisions for them......
"Well, then according to what Changbai said, this matter is not our Xie family, and it is not mine, the eldest daughter-in-law, when your niece and nephew get married, tell me, I and your father-in-law will definitely add a generous gift." Gu Ruosu still couldn't bear to tear the faces of the two families apart, endured his temperament, and followed Xie Changbai's words.
Hai also knew that his mother-in-law must be angry this time, and it was not appropriate for him to take someone here to find bad luck, so he hurriedly said:
"Whatever the mother says, the daughter-in-law will not dare to obey.
This thing is really bothering the mother, the mother is unwell today, the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law and the nephew will not continue to bother, in the future, waiting for the mother to get better, the daughter-in-law will bring a few children to the mother to do her filial piety. ”
"Okay, you aunt and nephew can go back, it's okay, don't come." Gu Ruosu couldn't help but say with some negative anger.
Hai's couldn't care about Gu Ruosu's words hitting her in the face at the moment, so she hurriedly took Hai Huanting out of the house, and if there was wind under her feet at the moment, she walked very fast.
Gu Ruosu didn't want to look at the departing figures of the aunts and nephews, only Xie Changbai, standing beside Gu Ruosu, his eyes were full of tears at the moment when Hai and Hai Huanting turned to leave, and they reluctantly looked at the backs of their group of people leaving.
"Landrace...... Sit down......" Gu Ruosu looked at Xie Changbai, who seemed to be crumbling and lifeless at the moment, pursed her lips, pulled Xie Changbai's sleeves, softened her voice, and said with great concern.
And Zanglan and the others were also very discerning, left the house, and when they retreated, they closed the door, leaving only the two grandparents and grandchildren in the house.
"Grandmother...... I...... Do you really like Wan Ting...... The ...... of the sister of the Hai family" Xie Changbai seemed to have been drained of the last trace of his soul after everyone left, and he couldn't hold on any longer, so he knelt straight at Gu Ruosu's feet and sobbed quietly.
"Landrace...... Grandmother understands you...... Grandmother knows you're a good boy...... But there is something...... Maybe it's really not just a matter of affection......"
"Perhaps, your sister of the Hai family...... I really have affection for you...... But she ...... Can't afford to gamble ......"
"Grandmother, is it true that the child born in the concubine is always a head shorter than others...... Really, don't you even have the right to pursue the person you love......" Xie Changbai's eyes were red, with tears on his face, he raised his head and looked at Gu Ruosu and said.
"Nonsense! How could it be! In this world, there is no right to be worthy or unworthy, identity is just your starting point, where can it be your end, as long as you are willing to work hard, where can there be anything that cannot be changed?
In my opinion, you and the girl of the Hai family just have no fate, it's okay to say that this is not the case, since you are not destined to marry, it is better to disperse......
A good man should be ambitious in all directions, you look at your grandfather, you were not as good as you, although you are a concubine child, but you are a child of the grandfather's family, but what about your grandfather? It's a good outlet, but it's just a white ding, in his thirties, and he hasn't established himself yet...... The day...... It's been a hard time...... It's not even as good as a child from a slightly wealthy family......"
"But now...... Look at the view of our Xie family, who would have thought that your grandfather would still have a good life today? Gu Ruosu immediately moved out of Xie Ruqing's fortune and comforted and taught Xie Changbai.
"But my grandfather is talented, and his wisdom is unparalleled in the world, but I ...... Where can I have a tenth of my grandfather......" Xie Changbai couldn't help but feel inferior.
"You kid! Why is it so unambitious! Could it be that your grandfather was born to be able to read and hyphenate, know astronomy and geography! Isn't that also a step-by-step learning! What's more, where did your grandfather have so many ready-made educational resources in the first place, Mr. Teacher...... That's all for you to look for on your own, like you? You have so many good environments now, and you're afraid that you won't be able to learn anything?! If that's what you think...... That's really unambitious. ”
"If you want me to say, you just deserve to be dumped by this little girl, who would like a young man with no ambition...... Besides! There are so many good girls in the world! Are you afraid that you won't find someone who really shares your heart?!
If you only want this one girl, you don't want anything, not even your own ambition, and you deny yourself here every day! Then you don't want to be the descendant of our Xie family, don't live! ”
"Grandmother, I have ambitions...... Our children of the Xie family...... They all have their own ambitions...... I believe in myself...... I believe that nothing is predestined by nature...... I believe that in the future, with my hand...... I must also be respected by others, and I must be a concubine...... Sooner or later...... I'll try to make others not care......" Xie Changbai said as if he had suddenly been woken up.
"Hmm...... If you are really as inferior as your grandmother said, and have no confidence in yourself, you have wasted all the time that my grandmother and I have put in you. Xie Ruqing's voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, and then, Xie Ruqing, who was wet all over, pushed the door in under the gaze of Gu Ruosu and Xie Changbai.
"When were you outside the door!"
"Grandfather!"
"How did you become like this? Resemble...... A chicken in soup...... Moreover, why are your hands still red......" Gu Ruosu looked at Xie Ruqing who was wet, and at first glance, he didn't look like he had an umbrella, and his right hand didn't know why it was a little red, so he didn't know why he was a little distressed in his heart, and then he spoke with a little reproach.
But Xie Ruqing was rare and didn't explain why this was like Gu Ruosu, he didn't want Gu Ruosu to know, as soon as he heard that his subordinates came to report what happened in Hefeng Hall, he was afraid that Gu Ruosu would be angry because of this, and then, he accidentally knocked over the candle and burned his hand, and he didn't have time to deal with it, so he didn't care about the fact that he rushed from his study to this side in the pouring rain, which made Gu Ruosu worry in vain.
But fortunately, his worries were unnecessary. His lady is a heroine.
More accurately, in the words of his mother, it is a sober person, not only is he not angry, but he can also comfort the lovelorn Xie Changbai in turn, he is really an excellent lady~
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry, it's you, it's okay."
"What can I do...... It's not me who is out of love. Gu Ruosu looked at Xie Ruqing, who was overly worried, with a puzzled expression, and said puzzledly.
"Well, you're right...... But don't worry, I won't fail you in my life. Xie Ruqing said formally.
Xie Changbai: [I was forced to eat dog food after falling out of love...... ]
Perhaps because Xie Changbai's experience was too miserable, and his eyes were too resentful, Xie Ruqing only said a few words to Gu Ruosu, and then put his mind on Xie Changbai.
"You kid, everything is good, it's just too weak, you have to sharpen a lot, you don't need to take the affairs of men and women too seriously, this time, just take it as a lesson...... You don't have to blame the girl, she's at fault, and so are you. ”
"She may not be affectionate enough for you, not a little affectionate, but a man who has no future yet, how can he give his beloved a home, so that she can cling to you like a silk carl."
"Not everyone in this world has the courage of your grandmother."
"Yes......"
Xie Ruqing looked at Xie Changbai's decadent appearance at the moment, frowned, and then said:
"Didn't you just blame fate for being unfair and making you a concubine, and you still want to fight for yourself.
As your grandfather, I don't mind giving you a chance.
But you have to think about it, if you are willing to fight for your future again, and go to the study with me, but this road is very hard, very hard, very people can bear. ”
Seeing that Xie Changbai didn't have any reaction, Xie Ruqing said again:
"If you don't want to, don't force it, for the sake of you being the face of my Xie family's descendants, I will also find a good place for you, your calligraphy and painting are amazing, I can find a position as a court painter for you in the palace, or donate a loose official, give some money, and then choose a good family for you, and you can live this life in peace and stability, and you can be regarded as having survived."
"How to choose, you are in charge at the moment."
Xie Ruqing gave Xie Changbai two choices straightforwardly, without too much comfort and sensationalism, and only two choices that were "out of place".
Although Xie Changbai was surprised by the development of things at the moment, he also understood that his grandfather had no jokes, and he thought about it for a long time and said:
"Grandfather, I'll go with you to the study."
