Mr. Gu was helpless. After a while, he said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Wang Lanxin raised her head and looked at Mr. Gu, "Eight years ago, in the battle of Yuxueling, all three of the An family's father and son died on the battlefield. In addition to the old weapons, there was another inside story. Grandpa Gu, you had the news at that time, right? But?
You didn't stop me."
Mr. Gu's expression changed and his face sank, "Who did you listen to?"
Wang Lanxin was young after all, so she couldn't stand Mr. Gu's sharp gaze, lowered her head, and told the truth, "My sixth cousin."
Mr. Gu stared at her, "What else did he say to you?"
Wang Lanxin shook her head, "I miss my seventh cousin. Everyone in the Wang family knows it, and even my sixth cousin knows it. I begged in front of my sixth cousin, and he pointed me out and asked me to come to Grandpa Gu. He told me this.
The sixth cousin didn’t tell me what the specific inside story was, and I don’t know either, but the sixth cousin said that An Huajin had learned the inside story that year.”
Mr. Gu's expression changed drastically.
Wang Lanxin mustered up the courage to raise her head and looked at Mr. Gu, "With An Huajin's temperament, since he knows the inside story, how could she not resent you when you, Mr. Gu, stood by and did not stop you? I'm afraid she won't want to do it again.
I married into the Gu family, and the seventh cousin is from the Gu family. I don’t need to tell you how much he treats An Huajin. Grandpa Gu, you also know that once An Huajin hurts the seventh cousin, he will be hurt the most. I’m afraid
It’s unimaginable that you have cultivated your seventh cousin since childhood to inherit the Gu family, but you don’t want him to be ruined by An Huajin, right?”
Mr. Gu was silent and his face was a little pale, but after all, he was very old and his features were still calm.
Wang Lanxin bit her lip, showing a sad look, "Grandpa Gu, I like my seventh cousin, I have liked him since I was a child. I always thought that I could marry my seventh cousin. Who knew that you ordered Anhua Jin for him eight years ago?
Since I learned about this marriage, I don’t know how many times I cried, and I couldn’t sleep peacefully for a day. If His Majesty hadn’t canceled their engagement, I wouldn’t have dared to have any more wishful thinking. But now, I really want to fight for myself. Please ask Grandpa Gu.
Complete."
Mr. Gu remained silent.
Wang Lanxin lowered her head, knelt on the ground, and waited quietly.
The secret room is so quiet that you can hear a needle drop.
After a while, Mr. Gu sighed, "Fourth girl, get up!"
Wang Lanxin raised her head and looked at Mr. Gu, "Grandpa Gu?"
Mr. Gu said, "The six boys from the Wang family are indeed good at attacking people's minds. In my life, I was born and lived for the Gu family, and I will die for the Gu family in the future. This is what I was destined to do the moment I was born and took over the Gu family.
I have to accept my fate. And Yan'er is also the heir that I have devoted twenty years of hard work to cultivate. He has ordinary eyes. When he remembers, I can see that he has a cold nature. I am afraid that he will be empty in his heart and have no emotions or desires.
There is nothing, not even the Gu family, so he is not a good heir. It happened that Mr. Wang took a fancy to Yan'er's talent and early intelligence, so he came to me and spent several days with me before I taught Yan'er to him.
A few years, but even in normal times, I don’t let my guard down. A big family is so meticulous in cultivating their successors. With Yan’er, I really can’t tolerate any mistakes.”
Wang Lanxin felt happy.
Mr. Gu waved his hand, "Go ahead! I will think about it carefully."
After hearing what Mr. Gu said, Wang Lanxin naturally did not dare to say anything more, stood up from the ground and left the secret room.
After she walked out of Mr. Gu's house, the cold wind blew, and she felt a chill on her back, and she realized that she was covered in sweat. Naturally, she couldn't go to see Gu Qingyan with all the sweat on her body. After thinking about it, she went directly to Gu Molan's house.
In the yard.
Gu Molan is embroidering the wedding dress. The Gu family and Yiyong's family have already agreed on the wedding date. Next September, nearly a year of preparation time, is not too fast, not too slow. It is the best age for the daughter's family to get married.
Seeing Wang Lanxin coming, Gu Molan had not seen her for a long time, so she immediately greeted her, "Fourth cousin, are you here?"
Wang Lanxin nodded and smiled at Gu Molan.
Gu Molan stretched out his hand to hold her hand out of habit. When he did so, he found that her hand was very cold, and immediately said, "It's so cold, why are you wearing so little? Why don't you bring a hand stove?"
"I'm here to deliver something to my seventh cousin. I can't hold the hand stove. The maids are very careless and are afraid of breaking the thing." Wang Lanxin explained with a smile.
Only then did Gu Molan notice that she was holding a box in her arms. She asked curiously, "What did you give my brother?"
"A century-old wild ginseng. My mother's dowry included two plants. One was given to my sixth cousin, and one was given to my seventh cousin."
Gu Molan nodded, "This is a good thing, is your aunt willing to give it up?"
Wang Lanxin smiled, "My mother was a little reluctant to let go, but she was willing to let go after hearing that the conditions of her sixth and seventh cousins were not very good."
"My brother may not accept it," Gu Molan said honestly.
Wang Lanxin was silent for a moment.
Gu Molan sighed, "Fourth cousin, you haven't let go of my brother yet? You've lost a lot of weight. In fact, there's nothing you can't let go of, as long as you want to be more open-minded."
"I can't think about it." Wang Lanxin shook her head.
Gu Molan is speechless.
The two entered the back room, where a fire was burning. Wang Lanxin suddenly felt a little warmer.
The maid made a bowl of tea and handed it to her. She put down the wooden box, reached out to take it, and said to Gu Molan, "I was afraid that I would go alone and my seventh cousin wouldn't see me, so I came here specifically to ask you to accompany me."<
/p>
Gu Molan happily agreed, "My brother's yard is not far away. It's okay for me to accompany my fourth cousin. It's just you... Hey, my brother only has Princess An in his heart. Since returning to Beijing, according to my grandfather, he has done it once a day."
Send a letter to Princess An in Nanyang, Fourth Cousin, you want talent, good looks, and a good family background, so why bother? Although my brother is good, he only has a heart."
She said it more tactfully. Where does Gu Qingyan have a heart? He only has a heart that can only let An Huajin go.
Wang Lanxin lowered her head, looked at the green tea in the tea cup and said, "Ninth cousin, you can let go, but I can't. Even if he doesn't like me, I still want to face him day and night and sleep together." Gu Molan had no choice but, "If my brother doesn't like you, it's impossible for him to sleep with you day and night."
Wang Lanxin pursed her lips tightly, "I will be satisfied if I can marry him."
Gu Molan completely lost her voice.
The two cousins have talked about everything since they were young. Whenever they sit together, they always have endless things to say. Since this year, many times, they have gradually become silent to each other, and they don’t know what to say when they sit opposite each other. p>
One sees the other's suffering and wants to persuade him to save himself from the trouble, while the other is desperate and persistent, vowing not to give up.
After sitting for about two cups of tea, the clothes on Wang Lanxin's back were dry. She stood up and said to Gu Molan, "Cousin Ninth, let's go."
Gu Molan nodded.
The two of them left Gu Molan's yard together and headed to Gu Qingyan's place.
When the two of them arrived at the entrance of Gu Qingyan's courtyard, they were stopped by someone, who held their hands and said, "Miss Ninth, Miss Wang Fourth."
"Where is my brother? My fourth cousin and I came to see him." Gu Molan said.
The guard stood still, "Miss Ninth, Miss Wang Fourth, please come back! The young master said he won't see anyone."
Gu Molan turned to look at Wang Lanxin.
Wang Lanxin pursed her lips, handed the box in her hand forward, and said nicely without asking for permission, "I brought a century-old wild ginseng to my seventh cousin. Could you please bring it in for him?"
The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Wang, please wait a moment. I will report to the young master."
He doesn't dare to make his own decisions.
Wang Lanxin nodded.
The guard turned around and left. After a while, the guard came back and shook his head at Wang Lanxin, "Young master said thank you to Miss Wang Fourth for her kindness. He doesn't need it. Miss Wang Fourth, please come back!"
Wang Lanxin could only take back the box.
The guard turned to Gu Molan again, "Young Master told me, let Miss Ninth calm down and prepare for marriage. If nothing happens, don't go out all the time. If you catch the wind and cold, you have to work at the Yongbo Mansion to greet you."
Gu Molan blushed and lowered her head, "That's what my brother said."
The guard turned around and returned to the courtyard, and the courtyard door closed tightly again.
Gu Molan turned to Wang Lanxin and said, "Fourth cousin, you have also seen that it doesn't work for me to accompany you, so you should give up. When my brother was not interested, you couldn't live in him. Now that he is interested, you can move in even more."
Not going."
Wang Lanxin pressed her teeth against the tip of her tongue and bit her lips. She could feel the pain in her heart and said softly, "If I could give up, I would have given up long ago, but I can't do it."
Gu Molan also felt distressed, took a step forward, held her hand, "Let's go, sit with me for a while."
Wang Lanxin nodded.
An Yining poked his head out from the door of the courtyard and glanced at the backs of the two people. Then, when he saw that the two people were gone, he retracted his little head and sighed like an adult. My uncle is really a disaster!
"What are you doing outside?" Gu Qingyan asked back in the room.
An Yining immediately ran back to the house, shook off the cold air on his body, then came to Gu Qingyan's bed, scratched his head honestly, "Just go and take a look."
Gu Qingyan snorted lightly, "Go and copy the "Yuexi Collection of Annotations"."
An Yining's face dropped, "Uncle, you're not worried, are you? I just ran out and took a look, but didn't do anything? Why are you punishing me?"
Gu Qingyan said calmly, "A gentleman does not eavesdrop."
An Yining accepted the punishment and turned around.
