To be fair, Ye Qinglan had a pretty good impression of Gu Quanhai.
Compared with all the handsome and elegant young men, Gu Quanhai is tall, strong, smart and capable. In the future, the position of the chief manager in this mansion will most likely belong to Gu Quanhai. If Ruomei marries such a husband,
Son-in-law, it’s a good place to end up.
It's a pity that Ruomei's thoughts are not clear. Ye Qinglan asked twice, openly and secretly, but Ruomei only responded vaguely and did not give any precise words. Seeing that this year has passed, Ruomei will be
I am one year older, and I can’t delay it any longer no matter what!
Ye Qinglan thought about it and decided to ask Ruomei's feelings in private.
In the afternoon of this day, when both children were coaxed to sleep, Ye Qinglan finally had some free time and specially sent everyone away except Ruomei.
Ruomei had obviously guessed what Ye Qinglan was going to ask, so she lowered her head and remained silent.
Ye Qinglan didn't beat around the bush with her, and asked directly: "Ruomei, if I ask you today, you have to give me an accurate answer. I also see Gu Quanhai's feelings for you. Now it's up to you to see what you mean.
If you are willing, I will send someone to call Gu Quanhai immediately. You two can get married before the New Year, or you can have a wedding after the New Year. If you don't like him, I will find someone else for you.
A happy marriage."
Ruomei didn't stay coy for too long this time. She hesitated and replied: "Young mistress, it's not that I don't like him. I just think his temper is too tough. I'm afraid that if the two of them really get together, they will inevitably have troubles in the future.
You have to quarrel and get angry."
Gu Quanhai and Quan Fu have completely different personalities. Quan Fu is literate and smart, and he also wins the favor of Gu Xinian, so he stands out among the servants. Compared to Quan Fu, who is smooth and clever, Gu Quan Hai appears to be much stronger.
.
This is inevitable. Who made Gu Quanhai's father the chief steward of the mansion? This manager Gu was a close confidant of Dingguo Gong Gu Youhe. Over the years, he has been highly regarded by Gu Youhe.
Most of the industry is managed by General Manager Gu. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is half a master.
Manager Gu only has a son like Gu Quanhai, and he has carefully cultivated him for many years. He has also developed Gu Quanhai's shrewd, capable but tough character. To put it bluntly, it is male chauvinism. Ruomei is also a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
, it’s really hard to say whether two people like this can live a good life together...
Ye Qinglan thought for a moment and said: "What you said makes sense. If two people's temperaments are not compatible, it will indeed be easy for them to get angry and quarrel in the future. If you are worried, then it is okay not to end the marriage. I will find another good one for you.
"
Ye Qinglan expressed her attitude so cheerfully, but Ruomei didn't feel much happy. Gu Quanhai's handsome and aggressive face came to mind again, and there was an indescribable complex feeling in her heart...
In the next few days, Ye Qinglan continuously summoned the unmarried servants or stewards in the house for questioning. With such an obvious signal, anyone could tell that she was looking for a husband for Ruomei. The matter happened quickly.
It spread among the servants of Duke Dingguo.
Gu Quanhai, who had just returned to the capital after going to various places to check out shops, received the news as soon as possible, and his face changed immediately. He couldn't even wait for the next day, so he came to Izuyunxuan that night to ask for a meeting with the young mistress.
Gu Xinian rarely had time to have dinner with Ye Qinglan. When he heard that Gu Quanhai had come to ask for a visit, he couldn't help but be startled: "It's so late, what is he doing here?"
Ye Qinglan glanced at Ruomei, who had a subtle expression, and smiled leisurely: "He rushed here so late. Of course he has something important to do."
Ruomei lowered her head pretending to be calm.
Gu Xinian was so keen that he immediately noticed something was wrong and raised his eyebrows at Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan suppressed her laughter and nodded lightly.
Gu Xinian burst into laughter. He made a rare joke: "This Gu Quanhai, his eyesight is not bad." Although Ruomei's appearance is not particularly outstanding, she shows off her beauty. Her wit, calmness and calmness are admirable. Gu Quanhai is not the same.
It's an insult.
Ye Qinglan coughed and ordered: "Ruomei, please ask Gu Quanhai to wait for me in the side hall. I will go over to see him after dinner."
Ruomei was startled, then raised her head reflexively: "Young lady, let Guiyuan go!"
This person is just here for you, so I have to give him a chance to show off! Ye Qinglan put on the master's attitude and said with a straight face: "Why, can't I even control you about this little thing?"
Ruomei had no choice but to respond helplessly and take the order. Somehow, her usual swift steps were hesitant today. The moment she saw Gu Quanhai, all the inexplicable emotions that had settled in her heart suddenly surged up.
Gu Quanhai's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but step forward: "Ruomei..."
Seeing this, the maid on the side didn't know what was going on. She immediately ran away with a smile.
Ruomei put away her chaotic mood and said calmly: "The young mistress and the young master are having dinner. Please follow me to the side hall to wait." Her attitude was very indifferent.
Over the past six months, Gu Quanhai has long been accustomed to Ruomei's coldness and alienation, and has long ignored it. But after hearing the news, no matter how confident you are, you can't help but worry about gains and losses.
Gu Quanhai followed Ruomei, his eyes tightly falling on Ruomei's slender and graceful back. The gaze was so hot and urgent that even though Ruomei didn't look back, she could still feel that his eyes were staring at her scorchingly. He had always been staring at her.
His calm heart suddenly started to tremble. Ye Qinglan's words echoed in his ears again: "...Since you don't like Gu Quanhai, then I will choose another one that is more suitable for you."
Ruomei would never admit that Ye Qinglan's frequent summoning of servants in the past few days really made her panic. If Ye Qinglan really chose someone else for her, would she marry that person willingly?
"The young lady is looking for a husband for you, is this news true?" A low and familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Ruomei came back to her senses, raised her head, and met Gu Quanhai's anxious and uneasy eyes.
Ruomei's heart trembled, but her face remained calm and indifferent: "So what? This is my business, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Gu Er!"
...It's this expression that is hateful, annoying and makes people unable to let go.
Gu Quanhai secretly gritted his teeth, with a desperate attitude, and walked up to Ruomei with big steps, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Of course it has something to do with me. My wife is about to be snatched away, what will happen if I don't come?
!”
Ruomei: "..."
Gu Quanhai kept doing nothing and took Ruomei's hand. Ruomei reacted very quickly and quickly pulled her hand back. But Gu Quanhai held it very tightly and refused to let go. Although Ruomei's strength was not small,
, but compared to Gu Quanhai, he was even worse. He couldn't pull it back no matter how hard he tried.
"Hurry up and let go!" Ruomei's face turned red with anger, and her delicate face was instantly lit up by the blush: "Gu Quanhai, you are too courageous. If someone sees the two of us pulling each other apart,
I don’t know how many unpleasant words will be spread by then.”
"Let them say, I don't care." Gu Quanhai was determined to express his feelings today: "Ruomei, you clearly know that I have always liked you. If you don't marry me, are you willing to marry me? I
I will beg the young mistress later and ask her to agree..."
Ruomei glared at him angrily: "Who said I'm going to marry you! Let go quickly! If you don't let go, I will call someone else. A maid who molests you will be punished. You don't know this!
"
Gu Quanhai responded impassionedly: "Even if I have to get slapped, I will accept it..."
"Gu Quanhai, what are you doing?" An angry voice sounded at the door.
Gu Quanhai and Ruomei were both startled. They took a step back reflexively and looked at the door together.
Ye Qinglan walked in with a stern face, an unmistakable look of anger on her face: "You are too courageous! You dare to touch the maid next to me. If I don't punish you today, how will I, a young lady, control you in the future?
He grabbed the people in the yard. Someone came, dragged Gu Quanhai out, and beat him twenty times with a plank."
Ruomei was shocked and could no longer hide anything: "Young lady, it's not what you imagined. Manager Gu Er didn't mean to be frivolous to me just now..."
Ye Qinglan snorted coldly: "What else could it be if it wasn't intentional? I can see clearly that he deliberately held your hand and didn't let go. It was clearly frivolous. If you don't teach him a lesson today, he will do even more outrageous things in the future.
With all this happening, what dignity do I have as the master?"
Ruomei was about to open her mouth to say something, but Ye Qinglan waved her hand to shut up without any explanation. Two women with nimble hands and feet immediately came over.
Cold sweat broke out on Gu Quanhai's forehead, but he did not beg for mercy. Instead, he straightened his chest and said loudly: "I couldn't help myself and made an inappropriate move. I deserve to be punished. Even if I punish you, I will never complain!"
However, this servant is sincere to Ruomei, so please help me, young mistress!"
He is indeed a pure man! Even now, he has not forgotten to express his feelings.
Ye Qinglan secretly admired her, but the expression on her face became colder and colder: "What a sharp tongue! If you are sincere to Ruomei, can you touch her? Ruomei doesn't care about you at all, and you will have to be clear in the future.
Marry for nothing. If you make such a fuss, Ruomei's reputation will be completely ruined by you! I think this twenty yuan is still too little, so I need to add another twenty yuan!" As he said that, he glared at the two mothers-in-law.
He glanced at him and said: "What are you two still doing? Drag him down and hit him forty times! If he's hit lightly, I'm asking for you!"
The two women didn't dare to be negligent, so they agreed in succession, dragging Gu Quanhai from left to right and walked out.
Gu Quanhai's face was a little pale, but he didn't say a word, he just looked at Ruomei deeply.
Ruomei couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly opened her mouth and said: "Young mistress, please let him go! He is not contemptuous of this slave. She and he are in love with each other!" (To be continued...)
