Chapter 153: Go and meet
Gu Changting nodded and said: "You are very worried. Yan Hui is a filial man. If he thinks that the girls in the noble family are arrogant and are afraid that their mother will be offended, then that is not the case. Maybe... I won't say anything here, look.
Let's see if there is an opportunity someday for him to meet his third sister..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xin Nian covered her mouth and heard her whisper: "Are you crazy? How can anyone do such a thing? No matter how much you say, the third sister is a rich lady, with both talent and beauty, and a very good person, why should you do this?
Are you being looked down upon by him? If word spreads, people will say that the third sister is disrespectful. How would they know that it was your brother who came up with the bad idea."
"Why is this a bad idea? Let's do it ourselves, and don't let anyone else know about it. I can only say this to you, others may think I'm a deviant."
Gu Changting put his arms around Xin Nian's shoulders and said sincerely: "They say marriage is the order of parents and the matchmaker, but those who really want to get married and spend a lifetime together are two newlyweds. This kind of blind marriage is a blind marriage.
It's okay to be with someone you like, but if you meet someone you don't like, your whole life will be ruined. We both know this very well. You said, when we were young, we were childhood sweethearts, but when we grow up, everything will not be smooth sailing.
What's more, two people who don't know each other? Don't worry, if someone really wants to be seen, I won't believe it if I'm standing in the way. Who dares to doubt what I, the prince, say? How about keeping the gossip about the third sister from others? This head office
Bar?"
Xin Nian thought about it carefully and had to admit that what Gu Changting said made sense. He nodded and said, "If something happens, will you really stand in front of the third sister?"
"You shouldn't ask this, am I the kind of irresponsible person?"
The corner of Gu Changting's mouth twitched, but Xin Nian smiled and said: "Of course I don't doubt your responsibility. I just thought that you used to be really indifferent to your third sister, but now you are so considerate for her."
"Then it's just for your sake."
Gu Changting picked up another snack: "You keep saying that Third Sister is a good person, but I don't believe them. Don't you still believe me? If Third Sister doesn't marry well, I will be the first person you blame.
Because of this, I can't even get into bed, who can I ask to reason with? So, it's better to do your best to avoid you complaining about this in the future."
"Haha! It sounds like you are pitiful." Xin Nian also laughed, then picked up the tea cup and handed it over: "Eat yours, even the tea can't stop your mouth."
*****************
By late April, the weather was getting hotter.
After breakfast that day, Xin Nian sent Liu Zai and Gu Yufeng to school and changed into light spring clothes when they came back. Suddenly, someone said that Aunt Qin and Gu Yunxiang had arrived, so she hurriedly picked them up personally. A few people sat outside, so she sent Xinghua and
Lychee went out to guard.
Aunt Qin heard what Xin Nian conveyed to Gu Changting before, and she thought about it carefully for two days after returning home, so she wrote back today.
When his mother mentioned Jiang Yanhui, Gu Yunxiang, who was sitting calmly, suddenly blushed, stood up and whispered: "Mother is talking to my aunt, I'm going to find Yaya..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Xin Nian getting up and walking over, pressing her into a chair and sitting down. He said with a smile: "There is no one else in this room, just us ladies. I'm not afraid of the third girl's jokes either. I never do."
Take these boudoir rules seriously. You are a straightforward person, and endure the shame and listen to me and your mother. After all, this is a major matter related to your own lifelong happiness. What is most important is your willingness. If you are not willing,
Even if Jiang Yanhui comes down to earth from the stars in the sky, we will not marry him."
"Auntie..." Gu Yunxiang lowered his head and said softly: "I know that auntie is doing it for my own good. I...I just listen to your arrangements."
"Silly girl." Xin Nian shook his head and smiled: "You don't know that love is the most elusive and annoying thing in the world. How many enemies in the eyes of outsiders have grown old together; how many matches made in heaven in the eyes of outsiders have ended miserably.
After all, no matter what kind of good relationship it is, you have to like it. You sit here and listen to me and your mother talking, and by the way, you can taste the river goose and see if you like it."
So he told Aunt Qin in detail about Jiang Yan's return that he and Gu Changting had discussed in the past few days. Gu Yunxiang blushed and lowered his head in silence. In fact, the image of a young man was slowly sketched out in his heart.
My heart was beating involuntarily.
Aunt Qin over there kept chanting Buddha's name and said to Xin Nian: "It is indeed what the prince said, he is really a good match. I don't ask him to be a young man from a high family, I just ask him to work hard, make progress, and have a good character.
Be good to the third girl, so that I can die in peace."
"Why are you alive and dead? I see that you are looking very good these days. I hope you will live for a long time. You will have a happy family life with your grandson in your arms."
Xin Nian smiled and comforted Aunt Qin, and said softly: "That's all. I heard from the prince that his widowed mother is a very good person, strong and kind, and has always been kind to others. I am completely relieved now. It's so difficult for us women.
Well, my mother-in-law’s family, it can be seen that it is not only necessary to find a suitable husband, but also a good mother-in-law..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard Gu Changting shouting from outside: "Niannian, are Yaya and Third Sister here? Call them out quickly. The purple locust tree outside the second door has bloomed. This is the only one in our house. I will take it with me.
They went over to have a look, and when they came back, each of them drew a picture of a purple locust tree, just in time to complete the homework given by the teacher."
Xin Nian's heart was moved, and she quickly responded loudly: "I know, the third sister happens to be here with me. Just wait a moment, I will send someone to invite the girls. I wonder if Yaya is in the room..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Li Zhi say from outside: "I saw Chun Yu taking Yaya to the garden earlier."
Xin Nian stamped his feet and said, "Why did you go to the garden now? This is a good meal. Lychee, go and report the news quickly."
Li Zhi agreed and went. Here, Gu Yunxiang was smart and immediately thought that it was Gu Changting who deliberately created the opportunity. He was so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed that Xin Nian grabbed his wrist and heard her whisper in his ear: "Sister, this is a matter of your life."
Big deal, don't you really want to see what the man you spend your whole life with looks like? If he is good at everything but you just don't like him, then marrying him will ruin your whole life."
Gu Yunxiang stared at Xin Nian blankly, his heart trembling. After a long while, he suddenly nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Auntie, I know you are doing it for my own good. Needless to say, I'll go."
"This is the third sister I like. She can afford to take things and let them go. Those rules that men set for women, such as staying at home, three obediences and four virtues, parents' orders and matchmaking, are all bullshit."
