Mrs. Wang lay in Gu Chengyi's arms, circling his chest with her fingers, making Gu Chengyi's heart itch unbearably.
"What are you going back for? You are mine anyway, so just live at home!" Gu Chengyi just wanted to play with Mr. Wang at the moment.
He had asked the doctor in the town two years ago that he had recovered. As long as he exercised a little restraint, it would not affect his health.
Mr. Li from the village wanted to scare him, saying that he was not suitable for nn affairs. He was a strong man, and it was considered rare that he had held back for three years.
The doctors at the town's medical center all said it was fine. Doctor Li is just a streetwalker. How can he be compared to the doctor at the town's medical center?
The tiger whip powder medical center said that as long as you take it less, it will definitely not cause any serious problems.
"Isn't that possible? The bride must not marry from her mother's family. My brother said that my father has already chosen it. It will be an auspicious day in three days. Let your family come to my house to propose marriage. Let's pick a good day to get married."
Ms. Wang couldn't wait any longer. She was afraid that Gu Chengyi would change his mind, so she had already asked her father to calculate the future.
She definitely wanted the bride price, but she didn't want Gu Chengyi to give more. If her father asked for it, he would only leave it to his younger brother Shunzi, and she wouldn't get a penny.
Gu Chengyi provided for Erlang, and if he asked for more, the marriage would probably become a dirty one.
Gu Chengyi had no objections to these, but when it came to proposing marriage, he thought of the bride price, and he had some calculations in his heart.
Wang's family is poor, and there are two brothers in the family. The eldest brother is married, and the younger brother Shunzi is also old enough to marry.
Gu Chengyu was not taken advantage of, he only planned to pay three hundred taels of silver.
Wang suddenly sat up and touched her belly, "Master! Do you think there is something in my belly?"
Gu Chengyi was stunned when he heard this. Mr. Wang had never taken Bizi Decoction, so maybe it really was.
"I'll give birth to you. Anyway, we're going to get married soon." Gu Chengyi then started to look forward to it.
He pulled Ms. Wang over and wanted to have some intimacy, but Ms. Wang refused.
"Master! I'm still a little worried now. Why don't I ask my cousin to accompany me when I go back? I'm scared."
Mrs. Wang threw herself into Gu Chengyi's arms and said delicately.
"Then let her go back with you!" Gu Chengyi didn't care about Wang's little thoughts, he just wanted to show off in front of Li!
He really enjoyed the feeling of women competing for him and being jealous. Mrs. Li had been a bit disobedient these past few days, always nagging in front of him. Going away just allowed him to clear his ears.
Mrs. Wang lay on Gu Chengyi, the corners of her mouth raised.
Can she leave with peace of mind when her cousin is here? She can tell that Gu Chengyi likes her when she is young, pretty and understands emotions.
But if she didn't hang out in front of him for several days, there was no guarantee that Gu Chengyi wouldn't be won over by his cousin.
The good days are just around the corner, so she naturally has to be on guard. As for Wang Yueniang, haha! What does she have to worry about with such an old and beady old woman?
Besides, Gu Chengyi no longer has any affection for Wang Yueniang, and now he just thinks of her as an old woman who cooks and does laundry!
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the door. Uncle Gu entered Gu Chengyu's house and said to him: "Xiaobao! There are many squires coming outside!"
Gu Chengyu was reading a book and did not even raise his head when he heard the words, "They came early!"
"What? Do you want to go out and meet me?" Uncle Gu urged when he saw that Gu Chengyu still didn't get up.
Gu Chengyu shook his head, these people must have come to sit down, and they were uninvited.
Needless to say, I knew that I wanted to make friends with him. He didn't need to go out to socialize so early. The people who really needed to socialize hadn't arrived yet.
"Wait for more people."
He is already an official, so he can't let the local squire come over, so he just rushes out to make friends!
"Old man, there are many big men coming outside! Your third brother's family is really prosperous."
Mrs. Liu stood in front of the window and listened to the excitement outside. She was very envious and wondered when her eldest grandson would become an official.
There has been an endless stream of people giving gifts in the past two days, and Ms. Liu has already become jealous.
Gu Changbai leaned on the kang and closed his eyes slightly, but his heart was full of regret.
The Gu family has finally produced a promising son, and he is the number one scholar! I heard from the eldest brother that he was promoted in just one month.
If a few more years pass, maybe Gu Chengyu will become a high official.
That mysterious man is certainly not simple. Isn't it because he values Gu Chengyu so much because of Gu Chengyu's ability?
Alas! What a pity after all
I don't know how Xiaoyao is doing. I haven't seen him for more than three months, and the man actually refused to let him take a look.
Gu Changbai calculated in his mind that as long as he followed his third brother and the others to the capital, it would be natural for him to live in Gu Chengyu's house.
After all, the whole family has moved in. If he goes to Beijing with us, we can't let him stay in the inn, right?
As long as he successfully lives in the mansion, he can beg for mercy from those people and let him see Xiao Yao.
At noon, guests gathered, and the courtyard of the Gu family was buzzing with people.
"Master Gu has become a sixth-grade official at such a young age. We came here uninvited today because we just want to admire Master Gu's style."
A squire stood up and said respectfully to Gu Chengyu who was sitting at the top.
"Yes! I have long heard that Mr. Gu is talented in literature. When he was still a child, his poems were spread everywhere by talented people. Now the student's grandson is reading the Four Books and Five Classics. The student wants to bring him to see him. I hope Mr. Gu can give him some advice.
A few words."
Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl and brought it to his mouth, the corners of his mouth twitching.
Seeing that this white-haired old man is nearly sixty years old, and his grandson is already sixteen or seventeen years old, he still calls himself a student, and it seems that he is still taking the imperial examination.
He couldn't help but think of the scene where his grandfather and grandson went to the examination room together, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Sir! It's time for the banquet."
Ming Yan entered the room and said to Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called everyone to sit down.
It's not that he doesn't want to give advice, but more than half of the guests here have brought their children and grandchildren.
If he pointed out one thing and others came to ask, wouldn't he mean to talk about it until it gets dark?
"Please move forward, I have already hosted a banquet, so be sure to show your respect!"
"Then please come first! Lord Magistrate please!"
"Everyone please go first!"
Everyone declined again, went to the side hall and the courtyard, and finally sat down in order.
Gu Chengyu looked at the tables with relatives and friends. He was really busy today and would have to stay to say hello later.
In addition, the door of the west wing was closed tightly, and there was no movement. Gu Chengyi's family did not come out to sit down, and Father Gu did not say he wanted to invite them this time.
Gu Chengyu didn't bother to call him. It was just a good idea not to come, so as not to lose face and ruin a good banquet. Gu Chengyi had such an ability.
Otherwise, there are so many guests today, and it would be a huge loss if they start making trouble again.
During the banquet, cups were exchanged, glasses were exchanged, and everyone drank to their heart's content.
Gu Chengyu, as today's protagonist, naturally will not lack the adulation of everyone.
One cup after another, I drank a lot.
During this period, Shopkeeper Liu of Huichun Hall looked at Gu Chengyu and wanted to come over several times to toast him with a glass of wine and say a few words.
It's a pity that there are too many people around Gu Chengyu, so shopkeeper Liu has no choice but to look for another opportunity.
Finally, the guests left one after another, leaving only some who were relatively close to them, still saying goodbye to Gu Chengyu.
"Ah!" Suddenly a scream echoed throughout the yard.
Gu Chengyu who was talking was startled. He quickly looked in the direction of the woman's scream and found that it was the west wing.
