"Ahem! Master, I know all this. It's just that I'm focused on the court now and haven't thought about the marriage at all."
Gu Chengyu shook his head, with an indifferent look on his face, which made the old couple feel even more worried.
"Jin Yu! We, teachers and students, have nothing to say. Do you, um!, have a crush?"
Liang Zhirui still didn't understand what Gu Chengyu meant. He wanted to ask Gu Chengyu if he was as good as Long Yang.
But he couldn't ask in this way, so he had to settle for the next best thing and ask in a different way.
"Why would the teacher ask such a question? I am off duty every day and either go back to my house or come to your and my senior brother's house. How could I fall in love with someone? I have never even seen a girl."
Gu Chengyu touched the back of his head, looking confused. This was a strange question.
Gu Chengyu just remembered that since he came to this ancient time, he really has never cared about the affairs between men and women!
Liang Zhirui and Ning looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised. In terms of taking care of Chengyu, wouldn't this mean that he hasn't figured it out yet?
"Ahem! Since you don't have a crush on someone, what do you think of Sister Xian?"
When Ning saw the old man complaining but not asking, she couldn't wait any longer, so she asked directly.
"What your wife means is that you don't like anyone anyway. Sister Xian has a gentle temper and a pure mind. We are not outsiders, so let's open the sky and speak frankly. If you feel that Sister Xian is matched with you, it is not wronged. We are also willing to have the beauty of adulthood."
.”
Liang Zhirui saw that the old woman had already spoken, so he continued what she was saying.
As long as you get started with some things, things will go smoothly later on.
Mrs. Ning glanced sideways at her master, her attitude was too low. Their sister Xian was handsome and had a gentle temperament, making her the best candidate for a good wife and mother.
Besides, Sister Xian's status is not low, and she is more than enough to match Gu Chengyu.
"Jinyu! Actually, we shouldn't ask you about this matter. It would be better to talk to your parents directly. It's just that your teacher respects your opinion and is afraid that you have someone you like, so we want to ask you clearly. We also know that you
It's an idea, I'm afraid you already have a plan. Your teacher is afraid that if we make our own decisions, it will affect the relationship between your master and disciple."
Ning Shi smiled reluctantly. In fact, according to her point of view, there was no need to inform Gu Chengyu at all.
As long as they find Gu Chengyu's mother and they reveal something, if the Gu family is willing, everyone will be happy.
And if the Gu family didn't mean it, it wouldn't affect Sister Xian's reputation.
The important matter of marriage is originally the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker are not determined by the elders?
How could it be like now, making their sister Xian feel like she was inferior to others? But the old man was stubborn and insisted on asking Gu Chengyu's opinion.
Ning had no choice but to follow the old man's wishes.
Gu Chengyu felt troubled because he had never thought about getting married before.
He was a woman in his previous life, and in this life he doesn't know if he can live with a woman without grudges, and for the rest of his life.
But how could he refuse the teacher? If he really refused, it would be impossible without hurting the friendship between master and disciple.
Even if the teacher can forgive him, what about the teacher's wife?
In the eyes of others, Yao Mengxian is the legitimate daughter of the eldest son of the Duke of Guo, while she is just a farmer.
Even though he is now a sixth-grade official, it cannot change the fact that he has no foundation.
They will only think that they are being promoted. If they refuse, others may think that they are ignorant of promotion.
Seeing Gu Chengyu's hesitation, Liang Zhirui's heart skipped a beat.
He should have noticed in the first place that these two people had never met before, but according to his observation, there was no mutual affection between them at all.
If I do this, will it be a mistake? What about Sister Xian? Will she agree?
Liang Zhirui was confused. He didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.
"Teacher, Miss Yao is naturally good, but I am afraid that I am not good enough for her. I just want to ask, have you asked her what she means? Is she willing? Where is the Zhenguo Government? Will they agree?"
Gu Chengyu hadn't made up his mind yet, so he could only find reasons to excuse himself.
He was certain that the teacher hadn't asked Yao Mengxian yet, and maybe Yao Mengxian hadn't thought about it at all.
After all, strictly speaking, he can barely be considered her elder.
"We will go and talk to Sister Xian. Now we are asking what you mean."
Ning saw Gu Chengyu's hesitation, her heart sank, and she spoke first.
"I'm a little hungry. You go and ask the kitchen to prepare some food for me first." Liang Zhirui suddenly interrupted Ning and planned to send her out.
Ning was a little angry, and she looked at Liang Zhirui with eager eyes. But when she saw Liang Zhirui shaking his head at her, she could only sigh.
"Then I'll make some soup, and you both, master and disciple, can drink some." Ning stood up, forced a smile, and walked out of the main room.
After Ning's figure disappeared from their sight, Liang Zhirui looked at the silent Gu Chengyu and spoke.
"Jinyu! Teacher knows that at this juncture, telling you this is a bit of a repayment of kindness."
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he quickly explained, "Teacher, I have never thought of it this way."
But Liang Zhirui waved his hand, "Listen to me!"
"You have talent. No matter who comes to power in the future, you don't have to worry. You just have a different background! If you can marry a wife who is helpful to you, your career will be more open. It's the teacher's selfishness. I want to
You married Sister Xian."
Liang Zhirui sighed deeply, his eyes filled with sadness that was so intense that it couldn't be dispelled.
"Of course I'm not saying that Sister Xian is not good, nor am I bragging. Sister Xian is of noble birth, has a good temperament, and is pretty. She just lacks a stepmother. Otherwise, my grandfather wouldn't have to worry about her marriage. But.
Who told her mother to leave early because she couldn't think about it?"
Speaking of this, Liang Zhirui's eyes were filled with tears.
"It's my fault. The fault is that I raised her to be too proud. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but she just can't think about it. It's because I haven't taken a concubine for so many years that she feels that men and women in this world should live together forever.
A pair of people for a lifetime."
Gu Chengyu picked up the handkerchief and handed it to Liang Zhirui. Liang Zhirui shook his hands and wiped the tears on his face.
"All this has passed, let's just talk about the present. You must also know how Sister Xian lived in the Duke's Mansion. If you marry her, it will not be of much help to your career in the future. Because the Duke's Mansion
Those people may recognize Prince Jing as their son-in-law, but they will not take you seriously. You may also offend Prince Jing, and you will be in constant trouble from now on."
After Liang Zhirui said so much, looking at Gu Chengyu who was still expressionless, he felt uncertain.
"That is to say, you will do more harm than good by marrying Sister Xian. The teacher is just analyzing it clearly for you. If you don't want to marry, the teacher will not force you. We will still get along with each other as before, and I will not hold any grudge against you.
You can rest assured. As for your wife, let me tell you that she is a sensible person." 13
