"Sir, the old lady asked when the meal will be served!" Suddenly, Manager Liang shouted outside the study door.
Only then did Liang Zhirui and Gu Chengyu realize that it was time for lunch. They didn't expect that they would talk for so long.
"Let's go! Go to your master's wife's place. Sister Xian is here today. But you are not an outsider either."
Liang Zhirui couldn't help but sigh again when he thought of his granddaughter in the mansion.
"Yes!" Gu Chengyu and Yao Mengxian have met several times. Since the teacher has spoken, there is no need to worry too much about the defense between men and women.
Liang Zhirui looked at the heroic Gu Chengyu, and the thought in his mind inevitably popped up again.
Although his apprentice is a good one among men, he is more than worthy of marrying Sister Xian. But even if his background is a little troublesome, the Duke's Palace will definitely not be willing to marry a legitimate daughter to an official of the sixth rank.
Besides, if Sister Xian was not his granddaughter, he really felt that Sister Xian was not worthy of his disciple. It had nothing to do with her character or appearance, just that Sister Xian was in a situation like that in the Duke's Mansion.
Gu Chengyu's marriage to Sister Xian will not help his career in any way, and may also be hindered by his father-in-law's family. If the Zhenguo Palace does not have outstanding descendants, it is bound to go downhill.
Even if his once good son-in-law was the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, after him, the Duke’s Palace no longer had a decent heir. His grandson, huh! Let’s not mention it!
It's funny that those people in the Duke's Mansion still think that it is the home of bells and whistles. The prince holds an important position. The old Duke was originally the Minister of the Ministry of War. Now even if he becomes an official, the emperor often asks questions. Those people think that the Duke's Mansion is a place with flowers and brocades.
There is no sense of crisis at all.
Liang Zhirui thought of this and suppressed the thoughts in his heart. Even if he went to the Duke's Mansion now to propose Sister Xian to his young disciple, those people would definitely not agree. Sister Xian's father and grandfather are still alive, so it is not his turn.
Grandpa makes the decision.
Even the step-brother is more qualified than him.
So recently he has been visiting the homes of people he is close to, just trying to find someone with a similar background. Then he will discuss it with the old Duke and the others, so that the Duke's government will have no reason to refuse.
It's a pity that he has no power now, and the people who used to flatter him have changed their faces one by one. He had already prepared for these before he came to the door, but he was still chilled by the words of those people.
Forget it! This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. However, this disciple doesn’t know what he thinks about the marriage. Let’s wait for him to find out more about it.
"Jin Yu! You are fourteen years old this year. What are your thoughts on marriage?"
Gu Chengyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. To be honest, he had never thought about it carefully so far. Although he was a woman in his previous life, it has been fourteen years since he came to this dynasty. If he didn't get married, what would happen to his parents?
Can you agree?
And he has lived as a man for fourteen years and has long been accustomed to being a man. But when it comes to marrying a wife, Gu Chengyu is a black line on his forehead.
"Well, of course it's the parents who ordered the matchmaker. The student hasn't thought about this yet." After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he was afraid that Liang Zhirui would ask more questions, so he quickly walked towards the inner courtyard.
"Teacher, hurry up! Don't keep your wife waiting."
Liang Zhirui shook his head and laughed. He was still a child, and maybe he hadn't learned anything yet! Liang Zhirui thought that Gu Chengyu was shy when talking about marriage, and didn't care about Gu Chengyu's reaction.
The girl who was guarding the door of the main house saw her master and Master Gu coming from a distance, and quickly informed the eldest girl inside.
"Old lady, it's the master and Mr. Gu who are here!" The girl Qin Xian shouted cheerfully into the house.
When Ning heard this, a smile appeared on her face. Yao Mengxian stood up immediately and prepared to hide behind the screen.
At this moment, people had arrived, and even if she wanted to leave, it was too late, so she had to hide behind the screen.
"Sister Xian, just sit here. He is your grandfather's disciple and not an outsider. He is barely considered your elder. You should also be polite." When Mrs. Ning saw Yao Mengxian trying to avoid her, she quickly stopped her.
It's not rude to have two elders in the room.
Yao Mengxian was a little hesitant after hearing this, and finally sat down. Her grandmother was an elder, so she was not afraid if there were elders around. Besides, Gu Chengyu had a close relationship with her maternal family, so he was really not an outsider.
The girl outside the door saluted Gu Chengyu and the others, lifted the curtain, and let them enter the main room.
Gu Chengyu saw Yao Mengxian sitting at the bottom at a glance, but he only glanced at it from the corner of his eye.
"Jin Yu has met Master Mu!" Gu Chengyu was still saluting, so Ning quickly called out.
Ning was so happy when she looked at the tall and tall young man in front of her, "They are all members of the same family, so there is no need to be polite!"
Gu Chengyu was also smiling, "The etiquette cannot be discarded!"
Mrs. Ning was even more satisfied with Gu Chengyu's unswerving look. She smiled, pointed at Yao Mengxian beside her and said, "Why don't you give your regards to Mr. Gu!"
Yao Mengxian had already stood up and blessed Gu Chengyu, "Yao Mengxian has met Mr. Gu!"
Gu Chengyu is now an official of the imperial court and cannot return the gift. He just nodded and said, "Miss Yao is exempt from the gift!"
At this moment, Gu Chengyu took a look at Yao Mengxian. In ancient times, little girls grew up very quickly when they were thirteen or fourteen because they were fifteen years old.
Shorter.
Wearing a sapphire-green trousers-cut silk jacket and a lotus-colored white magnolia flowered floral skirt. This outfit undoubtedly reveals the woman's delicate figure, and her face has lost the baby fat before, and now has a woman's delicate and soft outline.
She looks like a quiet and beautiful woman.
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but sigh, the little girl grew up very fast.
Gu Chengyu looked at Gu Chengyu very quickly, but Yao Mengxian glanced at Gu Chengyu just now.
Yao Mengxian had already heard about Gu Chengyu's early crown. After all, he was a court official, so it was not surprising that he was crowned early.
She had already seen him when he and his grandfather came to the capital last time. But looking at him now, she felt that he was different from before.
A gold crown has been added to his head, making him look colder and calmer than before. He is wearing a round-neck robe of moon-white trimmed with light purple satin, which makes him look very noble. Coupled with his good looks with red lips and white teeth, it is no wonder that
Her grandmother always talked about it.
Such good-looking and sweet-tongued juniors are always more lovable.
After the two met, Yao Mengxian stood behind her grandmother. Gu Chengyu was already sitting at the bottom. As a woman, she was not suitable to sit opposite him.
"How is Master's health these days? The student accidentally got a few taels of blood swallows a few days ago. I heard that this stuff nourishes the blood and nourishes the skin, and is very good for women. The student has brought it, and Master will definitely be more radiant after eating it."
When Ning heard this, she quickly shouted that it was too expensive.
"This blood swallow is a good thing. It's not often found even in the palace. It's expensive! It's too expensive for you. This thing is hard to come by. Keep it for emergencies. Every time you come here, you bring so many valuables.
