The marriage was mentioned again and again. Gu Qiancheng wanted to pretend to be stupid but couldn't do it anymore. This time the old man mentioned it bluntly and asked her to think about it carefully. He just didn't want Gu Qiancheng to escape anymore. He wanted Gu Qiancheng to do so.
Face the current problem squarely...
Although she got a message from the old emperor that she would be free to marry, the freedom of marriage did not mean that she could never marry. At most, she would be a woman in the harem and could not scheme against her.
"Do you really want to get married?" Gu Qiancheng asked himself while soaking in the tub...
She is not a delicate woman, nor is she arrogant enough to want to change the world. She obeys the rules and adapts to the environment, but she really can't do it if she is asked to get married in a daze.
"How many more years can I delay?" Gu Qiancheng sank completely into the water and closed his eyes to think about this question carefully.
A woman's youth is very short, and a woman's youth in this era is even more short-lived. She is now sixteen years old, and will not get married until she is eighteen years old. She probably won't be able to get married, and will have to go to the family temple to be with the old lady.
With a splash, Gu Qiancheng stood up from the water and shook his wet hair. Gu Qiancheng took the towel on the side, wrapped the wet hair, and casually wiped off the water drops on his body.
"Yan Qing? Should I go to meet him?" Gu Qiancheng seriously thought about this possibility while getting dressed.
The old man was right, the Yan family was indeed a good choice. If she missed the Yan family, she might not be able to meet a better family, but...
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that if they really got married, the marriage would feel like a charity. Even if she wanted to get married, she couldn't get married at this time.
Just like Princess Zhao thought that Prince Chu was willing to marry her, she should be grateful to him and marry her without saying a word, and then treat Qin Yunchu as a great benefactor and devote her whole life to him until her death.
"Why am I so miserable?" Gu Qiancheng sat in front of the dressing table, wiping his wet hair repeatedly, his eyes confused and unfocused...
She, Gu Qiancheng, has always been the one to choose people. When did it become someone else's turn to choose her?
Bang... Throwing away the towel, Gu Qiancheng's wet long hair was draped behind him, and he walked out of the house...
"Miss..." The servant who was serving saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, but was rejected by Gu Qiancheng: "Don't worry about me, I'll just walk around."
It was indeed a casual walk. Gu Qiancheng did not go far. He just walked around his yard and outside the house twice, and then returned to his room with a smile on his face under the puzzled gaze of his servants.
She knows what to do!
"Miss, what's going on?"
"You're not stupid, are you?"
The servants looked puzzled, but no one dared to come forward and ask.
Gu Qiancheng had a good night's sleep. After breakfast, she asked her servants to prepare gifts. She was going to Feng's house, but before she left the house, she heard the concierge calling to announce that the second young master was back.
"Chengyi is back?" Gu Qiancheng paused and asked his servants to put the things back.
There is no rush to go to Feng Mansion, but Chengyi rarely comes back from the academy. If she goes out today, Chengyi will most likely be angry.
Gu Qiancheng knew that Chengyi would definitely go to the old man's house first when he came back. She was not in a hurry and waited in the yard with peace of mind. She thought she would have to wait for a while, but she didn't expect that Gu Chengyi would come within half an hour.
Gu Qiancheng stood up and called for Chengyi to come in, but before she could open her mouth, she saw Gu Chengyi rushing towards her...
"Sister Qiancheng!"
Although Gu Chengyi's movements were fast, Qian Cheng could still dodge if he wanted to. However, Qian Cheng did not hide, but opened his arms to catch Gu Chengyi.
The first time Gu Chengyi made such an action, it was not serious at all. When he pounced on Gu Qiancheng, he used too much force and almost knocked Gu Qiancheng down. Fortunately, Gu Qiancheng reacted quickly and held on to the table to prevent him from falling.
"Ouch..." Gu Qiancheng's waist hit the table and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Gu Chengyi was originally embarrassed by his rude actions, but when he heard Gu Qiancheng cry out in pain, he quickly let go and looked at Gu Qiancheng with a worried look: "Sister Qiancheng, are you okay? Are you injured? It's all Chengyi's fault.
Okay, it's not a big deal. Sister Qiancheng, just hit me."
Gu Chengyi looked guilty, lowered his head to admit his mistake, and looked like he was about to cry. Gu Qiancheng rubbed his waist, smiled and hit Gu Chengyi on the head, "Okay, I'm fine."
She was already prepared and the impact was not too severe.
"Sister Qiancheng, are you really okay?" Gu Chengyi was afraid that Qiancheng was trying to comfort him, so he hurriedly said, "Sister Qiancheng, why don't you ask a doctor to take a look?"
As he spoke, he was about to run out to find the doctor. Fortunately, Gu Qiancheng reacted quickly and stopped him: "It's really okay."
Gu Chengyi still didn't believe it, so he circled around Gu Qiancheng and made sure again before he felt relieved.
"Sister Qiancheng, I hope you're okay. You don't know, Chenghuan and I were so worried when we heard you left home alone. We were afraid that sister, you would be wronged alone or meet bad people. Me and
Cheng Huan can't even imagine. What should we do if something happens to my sister..." Gu Chengyi was almost crying as he spoke...
Gu Qiancheng's whereabouts were unknown before, and Gu Chengyi was worried so much that he wished he could go out and look for Gu Qiancheng. Later, he received the news that Gu Qiancheng was fine, but he couldn't relax without seeing it with his own eyes.
"Sister Qiancheng, I'm glad you're okay..." Gu Chengyi was worried that he would cry in embarrassment, so he quickly took Gu Qiancheng's hand and covered his face with Gu Qiancheng's sleeves.
What a shame!
"It's okay, sister will be fine. If sister dares to go out alone, she must be well prepared. You and Cheng Huan are just worried." Gu Qiancheng rubbed Gu Chengyi's head: "If you encounter such a thing in the future, you have to believe it
Sister, sister will not let anything happen to her."
"Yeah." Gu Chengyi nodded repeatedly: "Chenghuan and I both believe in sister, but we are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Sister has no intention of harming others, but it does not mean that other people are the same. Sister, next time we meet
For such a thing, please don't just leave, okay? At least take Cheng Huan and I with you, Cheng Huan and I are boys, we can protect you."
Gu Chengyi took Gu Qiancheng's hand and looked at Gu Qiancheng with a pleading look, asking Gu Qiancheng to give a positive answer.
He and Cheng Huan would rather go out on adventures with Sister Qiancheng than stay at home, even if it is safer at home...
"Alas..." Gu Qiancheng sighed. She didn't expect that she didn't have to explain to her elders about running away from home, but she had to explain to Chengyi.
"Chengyi, sister can't guarantee whether similar things will happen in the future, but sister can guarantee that she will never be so impulsive next time, and after settling down, she will send a letter to you and Chengyi." Ask her to bring it with her.
With these two, that's impossible.
If something happens to her, the Gu family will shed a few tears at most. If something happens to Chengyi and Chenghuan, the Gu family will be willing to grind her bones into ashes...
"Sister Qiancheng, do you dislike me and Cheng Huan?" Gu Chengyi pulled Gu Qiancheng, looking like "I'm very hurt."
Gu Qiancheng opened his mouth to appease him, but before he opened his mouth, he realized something was wrong: Chengyi was not such a slimy, nor such an "innocent" child. Chengyi's behavior today was strange.
Gu Qiancheng took out the hand held by Gu Chengyi, took a step back to distance the two of them, and looked at Gu Chengyi carefully...
