Chapter 403 Intention
Section 403
Gu Xuanzhi's words blurted out.
When he finished speaking, he felt uncomfortable.
There are too many doubts about his words: who is the person he like, where did he meet her, how to like her, is there a message in private?
These questions are not easy to answer.
Gu Xuanzhi looked at his sister's face.
My sister's face was still good, and she didn't change her face like a disaster. She even smiled gently, and then asked him, "Whose girl is it?"
It really hits the point.
Gu Xuanzhi doesn't want to say it now.
He bowed his head in silence and said for a long time, "... I don't like anyone, I just don't want to get married so early. My mother said that after February, I will go to Zou's house to get the bride price..."
In this family, not only Gu Yanzhi is afraid of his mother, but Gu Xuanzhi and his father Gu Yanzhen are also afraid.
The lady of a large family has a relationship with a man in private. Her mother definitely doesn't like it. She thinks that the girl is unruly and disglegated. The first impression is not good. In the future, even if she becomes a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she will be unhappy. Gu Xuanzhi will be
Gu Xuanzhi also knows this layer, so he has been hiding it until now.
He doesn't want to say it.
He didn't want to reveal the traces to his mother, but he didn't have a chance.
Seeing that his mother was about to make a marriage for him, he had to say.
How to say it, he is not sure.
He doesn't want to be scolded by his mother.
The seventh sister has been intimate with him since she was a child, and Gu Xuanzhi is closer to Gu Jinzhi emotionally. In front of Gu Jinzhi, he relaxed his vigilance and said what he had hidden in his heart for a long time.
Subconsciously, he also felt that Sister Seven was his opportunity to send a message for him.
The seventh sister's message is more reliable than anyone else.
His mother likes the seventh sister, and Gu Xuanzhi also trusts the seventh sister, so the secret of his heart, driven by this subconscious, was revealed to the seventh sister. But when I think about it carefully, I feel that I can't say it so directly. It's too abrupt.
"Lying." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "If you don't say it, how can I help you?"
Gu Xuan unconsciously touched his nose.
He looked up and looked at the seventh sister. Seeing his sister's smiling face and sincere eyes, Gu Xuanzhi bit his lip slightly.
He was about to say it when he heard his mother's footsteps.
The mother settled Yan Shao and returned to the east room.
Gu Xuanzhi quickly stood up and said to Gu Jinzhi, "Seventh sister, I'll go out first..." He ran away in a hurry.
Song Pan'er came in and looked at the shaking curtain. There was only Gu Jinzhi in the room. Gu Xuanzhi disappeared, so she asked Gu Jinzhi, "Where's Brother Xuan?"
"It is said that there is something urgent to go back." Gu Jin's way.
"What's the emergency?" Song Pan'er asked.
Gu Jinzhi smiled: "People have three urgent needs..."
Song Pan'er didn't ask any more questions.
She didn't know what Brother Xuan was thinking, so she didn't doubt it.
Gu Jinzhi waited for her to sit down, served tea, and asked his mother like a chat, "Mom, you and the Zou family, it's just a verbal hint. It hasn't really been settled yet, right?"
Song Pan'er was stunned and said, "Yes. What, it's not appropriate for you to see the Zou family?"
Gu Jinzhi didn't think anyone was suitable. Marriage depends on fate. Even if the two people who match each other's character, appearance and family background have no fate, they will eventually be in love with each other.
Not to mention people you haven't met, even if you have met, you may not be able to determine whether two people are suitable.
Husband and wife know that they are cold and warm like fish, and it is hard for outsiders to say.
"Mom, this is a family matter. I'm going back to Luzhou after the New Year. I shouldn't say it. You said that Miss Zou is suitable, and naturally it is suitable. Don't I believe your vision? I have no objection. It's just that have you asked Brother Xuan? Does he think it's appropriate? Gu Jin's way.
Song Paner smiled and said, "What does he know?"
Gu Jinzhi smiled.
Her mother blocked her back with one sentence.
Marriage in this era is the words of parents' matchmaker. How can you think it is suitable or not? When Gu Jinzhi asked this, it was a little confusing.
If she said it again, she would be exposed, so she changed the topic and told her mother about other trivial things at home.
Gu Jinzhi's second cousin, Song Yanzhao, studied in Hanlin Academy for three years after nine years. After that, Song Pan'er took care of his uncle Gu Yantao's relationship and selected Song Yanzhao in the Ministry of Li. She asked her aunt to be a matchmaker and told Hu Jie to Song Yanzhao.
Song Yan and Hu Jie have been married for four years and gave birth to two daughters.
“...... During the New Year's greetings on the first day of the first lunar month, your second cousin-in-law also said that your second cousin's monthly offerings are not enough to support the expenses of their family of four in Beijing. It's not good to get help from Yanling Mansion. She wants to take the children back to Yanling Mansion. When Song Pan'er talked about Hu Jie, she no longer called her name directly, but replaced her with Gu Jinzhi's second sister-in-law.
Gu Jinzhi knows that it costs a lot of money in Beijing.
However, Gu Jinzhi remembers that his uncle is a very fat job in Suzhou, and the Song family is also a Wang family in Yanling Mansion. How can there be a precarious thing to say?
"The second cousin has just become an official. Without other input, the livelihood is naturally a little difficult. The second cousin's mother-in-law's family is not rich. Didn't the uncle and aunt say how much to help? Gu Jin's question.
Gu Jinzhi also knows what's going on with Hu Jie's family.
Her dowry is probably reluctant to take it out to subsidize the family.
And the uncle's family is very rich, and Gu Jinzhi can see it from his mother's dowry. With a son who is a Beijing official, his parents should be extraorably proud. How can they not help?
"Why don't you help? Now your second cousin has become an official in our family. Who doesn't want to provide for him? Even if your aunt really doesn't want to pay, she can borrow it from your second uncle.
Your second cousin said she wanted to go back to Yanling Mansion. I thought she just wanted to borrow money, so I leaked that I could lend her a thousand taels of silver for a few months. She was quite straightforward and said no. She would leave for Yanling Mansion after February. Cheng Yi is enough. It's a decision." Song Pan'er said.
Gu Jinzhi doesn't want to guess unfamiliar people with "ulterior motives".
Gu Jinzhi still doesn't know much about Hu Jie. For people who don't know much about it, it's not easy to arbitrarily know the intention of other people's behavior.
Gu Jinzhi had some ideas in his heart. If they were not suitable, he didn't answer.
“...... Your eldest cousin is in Yanling Mansion, and now he has become a family. He is unlucky and can't go to school for so many years. Your uncle has excellent performance in three consecutive years. He has reported it to the court to make an errand for your eldest cousin in Yanling Mansion. Song Paner continued, "Your eldest cousin will stay at home to keep his work in the future. Your second cousin-in-law may be worried that your aunt secretly gave the family property to your eldest cousin, right?
Officials above the fifth grade in this era, who have excellent performance for three consecutive years, can report to the court and seal their wives.
There are many kinds of officials in the court, and the shade officials are specially paid.
No one can guess Hu Jie's thoughts.
Her mother's family is in the capital.
She left her husband, let go of her mother's family, and took her children back to Yanling Mansion to serve her parents-in-law. In addition to praising filial piety, in this era of people's filial piety, it is really difficult to find other problems.
But it's unreasonable. Everyone knows it, but they can't say it.
It's hard for Song Pan'er to say anything in front of outsiders. Only in front of her daughter can she speak out.
Gu Jinzhi thought of Hu Jie when he was a child.
When she was in the capital, Hu Jie was a little domineering and capricious; when she arrived at Yanling Mansion, as the daughter of the imperial guard, she was even more arrogant and noble. The family of Yanling Mansion all gave Hu Ze more respect, and Hu Jie claimed to be from the Marquis's Mansion, which flatted her a lot.
Over the years, Gu Jinzhi and she have never had a deep friendship.
Hu Jie has many advantages, but she is just a child, and she is not as transparent and free as Jiang Xin. Gu Jinzhi is a secular person. His predecessor has experienced half a hundred years. No matter how lonely and boring she is, she really doesn't have the childlike heart to make friends with Hu Jie.
People who don't have a deep relationship can't have a deep understanding.
Gu Jinzhi doesn't really know Hu Jie.
If Hu Jie was really worried about her family property and returned to Yanling Mansion, leaving Song Yanzhao alone in Beijing, it would be really stupid.
From her point of view, maybe she thinks she is very smart. By going back to Yanling Mansion to serve my parents-in-law, I am familiar with my mother-in-law's family property, so that in the future, my parents-in-law will have the final say on how to divide the family a hundred years later, and they will suffer all kinds of losses.
A young Beijing official without qualifications is very short of money.
Hu Jie's family can't help them.
The lineage of the Song family in Yanling Prefecture has not been an official in Beijing for several generations. The Song family in Yanling all hope that Song Yanzhao can gain a foothold and help the children of the Song family in the future. If someone is a Beijing official, the status of the Song family in Yanling Mansion will also rise.
A large family member pays the most attention to status and reputation.
not only uncle, but also other cousins and sisters are willing to help Song Yanzhao.
How could they make an uneven distribution of family property and offend Song Yanzhao?
Hu Jie's mother's family, said to be the Yongxi Houfu family, but it is a side branch of the three suits. Her father has no other brothers and cousins, and Hu Jie may be a little unfamiliar with the way the big family gets along.
It's okay to let her go back.
It's better to understand as soon as possible than to always be suspicious.
“...... The eldest uncle has been in office all year round, and the third cousin married far away. The second cousin took the children back to accompany the eldest aunt, which was also very good. Gu Jin said, "If the second cousin-in-law is always in Beijing, she may really think that the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt are biased towards the eldest cousin's family, blowing the pillow wind, and the eldest cousin and the second cousin are not harmonious. Let her go back and have a look, and she will understand everything.
Song Pan'er smiled helplessly.
"I'm afraid she didn't discuss it with her mother's family..." Gu Jin said, "If it is discussed, Hu Zeyu should persuade her."
"I think it was her and her mother's idea, and I didn't tell Hu Zeyu that it was true." Song Pan'er said.
Gu Jinzhi's smile.
She thought her mother's guess was reasonable.
Gu Jinzhi asked Hu Jie's children again: "... Who does it look like?
Song Pan'er likes Hu Jie's two daughters very much. The girl is precocious. Hu Jie's eldest daughter is three years old. She looks exactly like Hu Jie. She is beautiful and smart, with a small adult tone. Her words are clear and sensible, which is particularly painful.
Hu Jie is in Beijing. She has no other relatives or friends except her mother's home. Song Paner welcomes them, so she often takes her children to visit Gu's house.
When it comes to Hu Jie's daughter, Song Pan'er talked for a long time.
It's half afternoon.
It was not until Yan Shao woke up that he interrupted Song Pan'er.
The small dark room that was locked yesterday has just come out. What a miserable word. I'm sorry, everyone. Yesterday and today, I updated it together. RS
