Chen Shangpin's self-motivated and likes to make decisions for others, whoever he marries will be unlucky. Miss Pan is such a flowery little girl, Chu Yunli really feels that it is a pity to marry him.
Thinking this way, she didn't want to mess up the marriage. After all, everyone has their own destiny. There are so many people in the world, how can she take care of it?
She was quite pleased that the Pan family had no intention of getting married. But it was just what she was thinking in her heart. She didn't do anything, so why did Mrs. Chen accuse her like this?
She turned coldly and said, "Mrs. Chen, be careful what you say!"
Mrs. Chen looked ugly. The Gu family had indeed done nothing. She couldn't accuse her. From the corner of her eye, she saw her son's unpromising eyes glued to the girl of the Gu family. She suddenly became angry and said, "Look at how promising you are.
Can’t you see there are so many good girls in the world?”
He grabbed the person and said, "Don't get too close, he's protected, so be careful of getting beaten up again!"
These words were quite profound, and the voice was deliberately raised so that many people in the lobby heard it.
The subtext is that Gu Nianshuang is close to people.
Chu Yunli agreed with a smile, "Mrs. Chen's words make sense, but you must take good care of your son. Otherwise, why would that man not let Master Chen go without beating others?"
Everyone suddenly realized that that man didn't beat anyone around, so why did he beat the young master of the Chen family?
It wasn't because Master Chen got too close to other girls that he was scolded.
Besides, who knows what he did to make people hate him and beat him up.
Even if something unpleasant happened, it did not affect the mood of the mother and daughter. After finishing the meal, the three of them went home.
Mrs. Yu was quite satisfied with the material and style of the spring clothes that Chu Yunli chose for her servants, and asked her to buy new year goods.
These things are complicated, but fortunately, the Gu family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there are precedents to follow, so you can just ask people to do it.
In the twelfth lunar month, snow began to fall from the sky, and the three siblings did not stop practicing their swords. Gu Daoyu did not go out too much because of the cold weather, so he spent more time practicing his swords.
This time they were indeed attacked when they went out, but they were stopped by the guards, and together with Gu Daoyu, the group was safe.
After experiencing life and death fights, Gu Daoyu fully understood the benefits of martial arts and became more serious about practicing swordsmanship. Mr. Gu originally complained about his daughter-in-law teaching swordsmanship, but after this time, he stopped interfering and even asked Gu Zongde to do it.
Sora also learns a few tricks.
The three brothers and sisters practiced the same swordsmanship, their movements were uniform, and they brought out sharp sword intent. The snowflakes were flying, which gave them a sense of serious beauty.
Chu Yunli was more strict when teaching. It doesn't matter if you learn slowly, but the posture must be accurate.
Gu Zong stood under the eaves with his hands behind his hands, his eyes quite pleased, and he asked curiously, "Where did your father-in-law find the martial arts master who taught you the first time?"
Chu Yunli looked over doubtfully.
He felt a little uncomfortable and coughed, "Dad said those murderers are desperadoes. Dao Yu can do it one to three without losing. He hasn't learned for a long time, and he is still a child, and his strength is not enough. If he learns well, he will go out in the future."
You can keep yourself safe even without a guard. His sword skills are very good and I want to learn them too."
"Master Wu has no children and has been gone for a long time." Chu Yunli crossed his arms, "Dad, didn't he ask you to learn from me?"
Gu Zong became more and more uncomfortable when she looked at him, "Okay... okay?"
"Okay!" Chu Yunli smiled, raised his hand and pulled out the sword on the side and handed it to him, "Let's see your qualifications first. If you are too stupid, I won't teach you."
Gu Zong: "..."
He glanced at the three children in the yard who were looking away with serious faces. He was the one who gave birth to these children. There was no reason that they could all do it but he couldn't!
With this thought in mind, she saw the woman in front of her draw her sword. Her aura suddenly changed, and the sword blade thrust out as smoothly as flowing clouds and flowing water, implying murderous intent.
He was a little surprised. When the two sisters first learned the sword, he only glanced at them a few times and thought they were just for physical fitness and exercise. He didn't expect that the sword moves were so sharp. Thinking like this, he became more and more serious.
At the beginning of learning martial arts, everyone was a little embarrassed. Gu Zong was learning swordsmanship. After hearing about it, Mrs. Yu couldn't help but come over to watch her daughter-in-law use the sword, and then looked at her son. She couldn't help but said, "Zong, take the time to learn well."
.If you can’t beat your wife, you will be laughed at.”
Gu Zong: "..." Not to mention, I really can't beat him!
After being married for more than ten years, he knew that Luo Manniang was good at martial arts, but he never knew that she was so powerful. Let alone beating people, wanting to kill him was just a thought of hers. Thinking of this, he was a little lucky that although they respected each other as guests, they were so
He has never really bullied her in many years.
Otherwise, I don’t know if I would still be alive.
When Gu Zong first learned, he was not even as good as the three children. In addition, he had been pampered for many years and was old, so he was not as flexible as the children. Although he became more and more skilled in swordsmanship, he was still not as good as the children.
He is a very tenacious person. Recently, he has been living in the study room in the courtyard and practicing every day before dawn. He has secretly made up his mind that if he can't beat his wife, he will be better than his children no matter what.
But when the three children saw him working so hard, they also got up early. Gu Zong also had account books and business to take care of during the day, so he couldn't be as focused as the children, so he fell further and further behind.
This is extremely frustrating for Gu Zong, who has had smooth sailing for many years.
Business families are very busy during the Chinese New Year. There are many banquets in each family. A few of them are really family celebrations, but most of them are for the purpose of connecting with each other. As the richest man, the Gu family has to be humble in front of the officials, but among the merchants
In his eyes, he is the one to win over. Anyone with whom he can have some connections will be sent a post.
Therefore, Chu Yunli was very busy during the Chinese New Year, especially when Gu Nianshuang reached the marriageable age and it was time to find a marriage. She had to go out to see other sons and daughters, and Gu Nianshuang also had to go out more. After all, she was once known as a crybaby.
If it is deeply rooted in people's hearts, it still requires outsiders to change their inherent impressions.
Throughout the first month of the first month, Chu Yunli spent most of the time attending banquets. There were many people who wanted to marry the Gu family, and Gu Zong and his son were considering it.
Chu Yunli didn't interfere much. She was the stepmother. Even if she and her stepdaughter got along well in the past six months, she still shouldn't talk too much about marriage.
Anyway, if she doesn't think the person is suitable for him, it won't be too late to stop him.
That night, Chu Yunli was undressing her hair in front of the dressing table. There was a knock on the door. Fu Huan went to open the door, and then a surprised voice came through the screen, "Master?"
No wonder she was surprised. Gu Zong rarely went to his room to sleep. If he came at this hour, he might want to stay overnight.
"You go out first." Gu Zong ordered.
Then, the sound of Gu Zong's footsteps came around the screen.
Chu Yunli didn't look back, "It's so late, but is there something wrong?"
From the mirror, I saw the man rubbing his eyebrows. He seemed very tired, but his voice was serious, "I want to discuss Nian Shuang's marriage with you."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli was a little surprised, "Isn't there a father and mother watching? I am a stepmother, are you not afraid that my thoughts are not pure?"
"Don't say such things, I believe you." Gu Zong sat on the couch, "Nian Shuang's uncle came to me today and wants to marry me."
Chu Yunli didn't even think about it, "If you ask me for my opinion, the Liu family doesn't need to consider it. First, the Liu family's character is not good. I don't know what kind of temper Nian Shuang's mother is. Just looking at Liu Shuanghe, there's nothing good about it. Second,
As for the candidate, there are no particularly outstanding children in the Liu family. Of course, if you think Nian Shuang can find anyone to marry, just pretend that I didn’t say anything about it. The third thing is the family background. Who is in the Liu family before they have a relationship with the Gu family?
, they are small merchants, and now they are nouveau riche at best. Raising girls is not as refined as that of the Gu family. If Nian Shuang married over, she would definitely not have a good life in the Gu family. What are the rules... you will know it if you think about it." And the most important thing.
At some point, when cousins get married, the children born... are prone to tragedies.
Naturally, she had to try her best to stop this marriage. Nian Shuang was a very nice girl. From the bottom of her heart, Chu Yunli hoped that she would find a good home.
Gu Zong didn't expect that she could say so many things about Uncle Nian Shuang, and the Liu family in her mouth was absolutely useless. He couldn't help but ask, "You said family status, will you marry Dao Yan back to the Luo family in the future?"
"
"I have never considered it." Chu Yunli took off the last hairpin, stood up, walked back to the bed and sat down, "I will marry you. The Luo family has made a lot of money with the Gu family over the years. As a daughter, I can do everything
It's enough, there's no need to marry Dao Yan back. To be honest, I hope she can make the decision on Dao Yan's marriage."
Gu Zong was quite surprised, "Really?"
Chu Yunli asked back, "When have I ever told a lie?" He then said, "If you marry Nian Shuang to promote the Liu family for Liu Shuanghu, be careful that she gets angry and comes to settle the score with you!"
Gu Zong smiled bitterly. If he could survive his anger, he would definitely give it a try. Hearing this, he was even more surprised, "She doesn't want the Liu family to be happy?"
"Just like what I think about the Luo family, the Liu family has gained a lot of advantages over the years by relying on her to stick to the Gu family... When a woman has a child, the child is more important. It's not like the Liu family can't live without Nian Shuang, so why still
Want to hook up with her?"
She lay down on the bed and said, "Please help me put out the candle when I leave. Thank you!" She turned over and fell asleep.
After a long time, Gu Zong got up and left.
Two days later, the Liu family sent a message inviting the Gu family to enjoy the flowers.
Because Mrs. Yu didn't like Liu Shuanghu, except for the two necessary trips for the engagement, she never visited Liu's house for so many years.
Luo Manniang's status was embarrassing and she never went there. For posts like this, Liu Shuanghe and Gu Nianshuang used to go there.
This time Chu Yunli didn't want to go, but as the Liu family was Nian Shuang's uncle's family, it wouldn't be appropriate not to go. Let her go, and Chu Yunli was worried.
We might as well go together, and take Gu Daoyan with us by the way.
The Liu family held a banquet, just like everyone else treated the Luo family. For the sake of the Gu family, they didn't pay much attention to it, but they didn't want to offend. There were still quite a few guests present, but many of them were the bastards and wives of the family.
When the mother and daughter arrived, the guests had already arrived. When they learned that Gu Nianshuang was here, many guests came to pick them up with Mrs. Liu.
Among them is Liu Shuanghe.
No matter what everyone was thinking, with smiles on their faces, the mother and daughter walked in surrounded by each other. When they arrived at the garden where guests were being entertained, Chu Yunli found a place to sit down. The two sisters followed her and did not run around.
Of course, Mrs. Liu has always been with her, and the master is right beside her, so it’s hard for them to leave.
After saying a few words, Mrs. Liu found a reason to leave. Not long after, a servant of the Liu family came over to invite her, "My wife has something to discuss with you."
Chu Yunli did not refuse, and stood up with a smile. When she left, she took the two sisters with her. It was better not to leave them alone anyway.
The woman's face changed slightly, but she didn't say anything. She quickly arrived in the main courtyard, where Mrs. Liu sat at the top, "Mrs. Gu, sit down."
Then he looked at the two sisters and said with a smile, "Nian Shuang, let your cousin accompany you to go to the yard first."
Gu Nianshuang didn't move, "I'll wait for mother here." She pushed back without being soft or hard.
Mrs. Liu: "..."
This niece's temperament has changed drastically in the past six months and she no longer cries. If she used to dislike her crying and was not satisfied with her being her daughter-in-law, now I see nothing inappropriate about it.
However, seeing the cold expressions on the faces of the mother and daughter, and the lack of reply from the Gu family, Mrs. Liu became increasingly uneasy, as her daughter-in-law... seemed to be about to fly away.
During the stalemate, Liu Shuanghe came. She was now dressed as a woman, her clothes were still plain, and she was still so thin. After entering the door, she held Gu Nianshuang's hand and cried, "Nian Shuang, I miss you so much, you little kid."
With a good conscience, I have been with you for so many years, and I left, but you didn’t even say to come find me."
The more she talked, the sadder she became, the harder she cried, and she was out of breath.
Gu Nianshuang's expression was complicated and unspeakable. Whenever she thought about how she used to be like this, she felt lucky that she had changed. Otherwise, who would have the patience to listen to her cry every day?
Liu Shuanghe cried for a long time. When he took the time to look up, he saw that his niece looked calm, even...a little disgusted?
