He wasn't worried about Saburo's little thoughts. If he had a rigid and inflexible temperament, he wouldn't let him do things like Paralyzed Yu.
Anyway, he couldn't let Saburo be the general manager. There were other people restricting him. If the personnel had not changed in the past few years, he didn't need to worry.
"Tomorrow I'll ask the matchmaker to come to the house and have a chat."
Gu Chengyu was happily taking a sip of the old duck soup. Unexpectedly, Lu made a surprising statement and almost spit out the soup in Gu Chengyu's mouth.
"Matchmaker? There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" He swallowed quickly and looked at Lu in horror.
Didn't the topic turn elsewhere just now? Why did it turn back now?
"You're already a grown-up, why aren't you in a hurry?"
Lu glanced at Gu Chengyu lightly, ignored Gu Chengyu's surprised attitude, picked up the soup bowl and drank the soup slowly.
"Mom, this is too early. I am only fourteen years old and have just entered the court. How can I get married so early? This is not good for my career!"
Then Gu Chengyu rolled his eyes and thought of a countermeasure.
Mrs. Lu looked at him without saying anything, as if she wanted to see what flowers he could tell.
"Mom! The teacher said that it's really too early for me to get married now. I haven't established myself in the court yet, and even if I want to marry, those aristocratic families probably won't look down on me."
Seeing that his mother was unmoved, Gu Chengyu could only persuade her like this.
"Who dares to look down on my son? Not only is my son good-looking, he is also a sixth-rank official. Look at this big house. My son can make so much money. Who dares to look down on me? That's because he is blind."
Mrs. Lu became very angry when she heard this. How could someone look down on her son?
Okay! His mother just has this blind confidence that my son is the best in the world, and anyone who doesn’t like him is blind.
"Is it possible that you have fallen in love with a girl from a certain family, and that girl's family doesn't like you? Tell me which family it is, and I'll call a matchmaker to propose marriage to you."
Lu glanced at Gu Chengyu suspiciously and glanced back and forth at Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu held his forehead, his mother still thought his son was gold? Everyone must like him?
"Mom! This really doesn't happen. My son can't get married yet." Gu Chengyu explained helplessly.
He was so helpless! He was forced to get married when he was only fourteen years old, and he was still forced to take a wife.
"Okay! Xiaobao's teacher is right. He is currently focused on officialdom, so let's not cause him any trouble."
At this time, Father Gu put down his chopsticks and said to Ms. Lu.
Gu Chengyu glanced at Dad Gu gratefully and gave him a thumbs up.
"Why don't you go to someone else's house to get married? Our son is a sixth-grade official, and those aristocratic families probably don't like him. If we wait another two years, and wait for him to advance a few more levels, wouldn't it be more likely to win if we propose marriage?"
What Father Gu said was a stab in Gu Chengyu's heart. His father thought that no one thought highly of him now and would dislike him for his low official position.
Father Gu's tone was full of disgust, which shocked Gu Chengyu.
How many levels can I move up to after waiting for two years?
Gu Chengyu just wanted to say, haha, is there such a good thing? Gu Chengyu complained in his heart, but at least he achieved his goal.
But when it comes to marrying a wife, Gu Chengyu has no plans yet.
Anyway, if you can postpone it for a day, it will be better if you can not get married.
He glanced at the mute old woman beside Lu, and saw that the mute old woman was looking at the floor tiles in a trance.
He had some suspicions that the mute grandma had gone too far with her persuasion. When Lu and the others were coming to Shangling Village, the mute grandma spent a lot of energy teaching his mother the rules.
After all, this is the capital city, and the Gu family is now considered an official family, so they can't continue to do things the same as they did in the village.
Even though Mrs. Lu hasn't come into contact with those official wives yet, if she doesn't work out her temper and learn some rules, she will inevitably make a joke in the future.
He had heard once before that the mute granny said that his official position in the capital was not high and that he must be careful in his words and deeds so as not to offend the nobles in the capital.
It is estimated that his father took this matter to heart after that, thinking that he was just better than Zhima Guan, and was afraid of getting him into trouble.
No wonder he wanted the guards in the palace to take the elders to visit the markets in the capital, but the elders refused to go out.
The mute mother-in-law has good intentions, but it would be bad if she goes too far.
"Your mother is not talking about you, she is talking about Brother Fang." Father Gu glanced at Gu Chengyu, and then put down the chopsticks in his hand.
"Brother Fang?" Gu Chengyu was stunned for a moment.
The confused way Father Gu looked at Gu Chengyu probably meant that he had never considered Brother Fang's marriage.
"Brother Fang is almost 20 this year, right? I asked him last time when he came to greet us. Since you have come to keep me here, we are always his elders and his life-long event."
Dad Gu glanced at Gu Chengyu. He wanted to see Xiaobao's reaction. After all, what his second brother had done before was unethical, and Xiaobao might still be angry in his heart.
In fact, Gu Chengyu didn't care. He wanted to get married when he got old, so he had no reason to stop him, right?
From the day he left Gu Wanfang here, Gu Wanfang's life was controlled by Gu Chengyu.
Of course, not to mention praise for the next few decades. At least in these ten years, Gu Wanfang still has to rely on himself.
However, since he is involved with Gu Chengyu, when he enters officialdom in the future, he will naturally be labeled as Gu Chengyu.
"Although the second brother is indeed too much, I think Brother Fang is a good person."
Father Gu sighed, he was his nephew after all, he couldn't ignore it.
"Now he has to rely on Xiaobao for food and drink. You still use money to get him a wife. You are so kind."
Mrs. Lu was a little unhappy. When the old man mentioned this matter to her before, she disagreed.
Brother Fang and grandma, when will it be your family’s turn to worry about life-long events?
Besides, Xiaobao's food and accommodation were all Xiaobao's, and even the expenses for studying were covered by Xiaobao. Now that Xiaobao was being asked to pay for her wedding, she was naturally not happy.
"Dad! If you're talking about a daughter from a small family, it doesn't take much money to get married. We're not stingy either. But for this life-long event, you'd better ask him. Maybe he has other plans?"
Gu Chengyu felt that it was not easy to talk about getting married. It would be fine if the two of them got along beautifully in the future!
I'm afraid that the temperament of the two people is not compatible. If the woman's temper is more aggressive, then she will have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. In the end, won't they become a resentful couple?
When the time comes, Gu Wanfang may still complain in her heart, thinking that the Gu family didn't ask about his good character when proposing marriage to him.
In ancient times, it was a blind marriage. The two people had never even met each other before, let alone whether their personalities were compatible.
"He came here twice before, but you weren't in the house. I'm sure he won't come back today. When you see him, ask him what he wants. If you want us to help, you can tell us later."
"Ah? Let me ask? Wouldn't it be better for you to ask?" Gu Chengyu was a little surprised. He was a young man himself, so it wasn't appropriate, right?
