After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he looked at the mute mother-in-law standing aside. But the mute mother-in-law nodded to Gu Chengyu, and Gu Chengyu knew that his mother knew.
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her bright smile just now gradually disappeared.
"Mother knows, how could she not know?" Mrs. Lu put down the tea bowl she handed to Gu Chengyu and murmured.
"Is your mother still dating her? I'm afraid the eldest princess doesn't want to see us interacting closely with her daughter, let alone others."
Gu Chengyu sighed, feeling that too many accidents had happened today.
When has his marriage been put on the agenda? He is obviously still young!
"The princess' temperament is different from that of her mother. She has a good temper! Although she has a noble status, my son is not bad either. She is already a sixth-rank official at the age of fourteen. Who in the world is as capable as my son? She
So what if she is the princess? Isn’t it just because of her birth?”
Mrs. Lu's face completely sank. The thought of others looking down on her son's origin made her heart feel like a knife.
"You! You will cause trouble for Xiaobao. I have told you a long time ago that it is better not to have any contact with the princess. You have also learned what kind of temper her mother is, and you know it best. You still rely on your background.
, people are just relying on their background, what can you do?"
Father Gu, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but interject. He looked down upon Lu's enthusiastic attitude towards shaving his head.
Xiaobao is good-looking and an official. How can he worry about not getting a wife?
But the old woman just likes that princess, but with her status, can she like the Gu family whose muddy legs have not been cleaned yet?
"Her mother is her mother, she is her! As long as Xiaobao likes that girl, Xiaobao will definitely find a way to marry her."
Mrs. Lu felt that Gu Chengyu was looked down upon by others because of her low background, so she wanted Gu Chengyu to marry a daughter of a wealthy family so that she could help her son in the officialdom in the future.
She didn't understand this at first, but after hearing a lot of such things recently, she still felt that marrying a good wife was much better than having her son struggle alone.
As for the eldest princess, what does it matter if she suffers some grievances?
Gu Chengyu was a little bit dumbfounded. His mother always had a crazy confidence in him.
"Mom! This marriage has always been decided by the elders. How can the princess decide her own marriage? The eldest princess will never agree. Besides, the princess definitely has no such idea. Don't talk nonsense in front of others."
Gu Chengyu rubbed his forehead, his mother was so innocent and cute sometimes.
"Look, Xiaobao is more sensible than you. You said it yourself. People with high status should not try to climb high. I think I can find someone who is a good match for Xiaobao."
Dad Gu put down the cigarette pole in his hand. He was firmly opposed to this matter.
Is it easy to marry a girl from a wealthy family? She doesn't have to be pointed at the back of her head and scolded for flattery.
"What does it mean to be well-matched? Xiaobao is so capable, what kind of girl can't he marry? Although she is a princess, but when they get married, she won't bear her husband's surname. How can she marry another royal relative?
"
Mrs. Lu was choked by Father Gu, and felt even more uncomfortable.
Others look down on their son's background, and you as a father look down on him too. You don't even think about whether your son is hindered by parents like them?
Otherwise, with his son's looks and talents, every girl in the capital would be a matchmaker for Xiaobao, and the matchmaker would have to break the barriers in the house!
When Father Gu saw that Mr. Lu was angry, he had no choice but to stop his activities.
"I'm just saying, you know what the princess is, so it's definitely not possible." Daddy Gu murmured.
"Yes! Mother, let's not mention that the eldest princess cannot agree. Think about it! If your son marries the princess, will he have a good life in the future? She has a distinguished status, and we can't even say harsh words to your son.
We still have to worship her as a Bodhisattva, how frustrating and tiring this is!"
Lu originally wanted to say a few more words, but then she thought about it and realized that what Xiaobao said made sense.
Originally, she was reluctant to let Xiaobao marry a daughter-in-law. Moreover, she couldn't even say harsh words to the wife she got back. What if Xiaobao was bullied by her daughter-in-law in the future?
This was not going to work, Lu was shaken again.
"Old lady, here's the chicken noodle soup."
Caiyun came in with a tray. Gu Chengyu smelled the aroma of chicken noodle soup, and his mouth immediately began to salivate.
Forget it, eating is as big as the emperor. Don’t think about these worries for now, let’s fill your stomach first.
"Master! What did Jin Yu say?" Ning waited for Gu Chengyu to leave and saw that Liang Zhirui was silent, so she couldn't help but ask.
Before she left, she seemed unhappy to see Gu Chengyu, and she felt a little uneasy. Could it be that she disagreed?
Liang Zhirui opened his closed eyes and sighed softly: "He said that as long as Sister Xian is willing, he is reaching for her."
When Ning heard this, her expression relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Sister Xian has a good temper, and her appearance is impeccable, so it's not an insult to him. Besides, Sister Xian was born in the Duke's palace, except for having an unremarkable stepmother, can the rest of it be wronged to him? However, can't she be wronged?
Jin Yu is a sweet-tongued kid with a calm temperament and equally talented people, so they are a perfect match."
Maybe it was half done, Ning felt relaxed and started talking more.
"Didn't you wrong him?" Liang Zhirui suddenly sat up from the bed and looked at Ning with a look full of mockery.
Ning was startled by Liang Zhirui's actions. She patted her chest and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Ask yourself whether this marriage has wronged Jin Yu. According to the emperor's high regard for him, Jin Yu will definitely not be of the same rank as he is now after two years. If he gets married later, he might already be in a high position. By then.
At that time, apart from the royal family, which family would not want to marry him?"
Liang Zhirui's words were like a sharp knife stabbing into Ning's heart, and their heavy breathing echoed in the room.
"Don't be too biased. Do you think anyone can get promoted so quickly? Which minister in the court didn't get through hard work? You have such high expectations for him. Besides, if Sister Xian didn't have such a stepmother,
, how could it be his turn?"
Mrs. Ning was also angry, tears streaked down her cheeks. Thinking of her eldest daughter who died young, she felt that her granddaughter was not worth it.
"What a stupid idea you have! Did you know that this time when he went to Hejian Mansion, the emperor had agreed to his promotion? Do you think it will be difficult for him to be promoted based on his ability?"
Liang Zhirui rubbed his forehead and leaned on the pillow.
Ning was silent. In fact, she didn't know Gu Chengyu's abilities. Otherwise, she wouldn't be willing to betroth Sister Xian to him.
It’s just that she doesn’t want to admit it in her heart!
"I have been upright and upright in my life. I consider myself a gentleman and do things with no regrets. Who would want to repay a favor when I am old? We say we will not force him, but what is the difference between us and forcing him? I know that in the future
His temperament means that as long as I open my mouth, he will definitely agree in the end."
