Chapter 241 Chapter 240
There are thousands of people in this world, and thousands of ways of living. Some people live out high-spirited lives, and some people live out being subservient to others.

Xiao Xi was probably the former, a rookie in the court who was loved by Emperor Wei, and even Mr. Gu praised him.

Mrs. Gu tried several times, and asked someone to go out to inquire, only to be satisfied with this son-in-law.

There is a great intention to settle the marriage by taking advantage of the years ago.

Zhou Shi is also considering the marriage history.

I don't know what the two families discussed. The Zhou family who got married was kicked out from the Zhou family.

Zhou Xixi sighed, Gu Aman was serving the budded camellia, and the little silver scissors clicked, but Zhou Xixi's sigh could not be covered.

"The marriage between the two families fails, isn't this the result you want?"

It was obvious that his wish had come true, and he was sighing and doing it, "You can't be blind and see that Gu Wei is suitable, but you can't figure it out, so why don't you have an eldest son first?"

Zhou Xixi also got along with Gu Aman for a while, and has more or less understanding of this unforgiving girl.

This man's heart is not bad, but sometimes what he says is a bit harsh.

Zhou Xixi hesitated to speak, she didn't know, she had only been in contact with the other party a few times, why did she come to him by accident when she couldn't make up her mind?
"The failure to get married with Gu Wei doesn't mean it's over. I heard my father and mother discussing in private that they want to choose a new husband and son-in-law for me. I... feel very confused."

Hearing this, Gu Aman held the scissors and tilted his head to look at her, "Do you have someone you like?"

Zhou Xixi's ears turned red, and her body was so hot that she was about to breathe out, "I, how could I have someone I like?"

It's just that Gu Aman is being bitter and mean, he has no scruples in what to say, and jumps out of everything.

"Then you are good at grinding mirrors?"

Zhou Xixi was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to realize what Gu Aman meant. She looked surprised and complicated, "Sometimes I really wonder if you are the daughter of the Gu family?" All out?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she just felt that coming here was just asking for fun.

"I'm not a good woman!"

Zhou Xixi really wanted to throw up her sleeves and leave, but she couldn't help but want to stay here for a while. The sky and the earth are big, but it seems that only in this small courtyard can she be free.

"You don't have anyone you like, and your right orientation is normal, so even if the husband-in-law chosen by your parents is not what you want, I'm afraid it's not too bad."

"Zhou Xixi, what are you running from?"

Zhou Xixi was stunned for a moment, her fingers shrank unconsciously, and she couldn't help pinching the corner of her clothes.

She also knew that one day she was going to marry after all, and even imagined her life after getting married countless times.

But now facing the marriage that her parents chose for her, she was very resistant in her heart.

"I shouldn't be doing this."

She murmured out such a sentence.

But if you ask her what she should be like, she can't answer.

In fact, when you ask yourself this way, your eyes will involuntarily fall on Gu Aman.

This nasty-talking girl was alone, but she lived out what she wanted.

"I don't want to get married."

Zhou Xixi stood up suddenly as if he had opened up the two veins of Ren and Du. Gu Aman was startled, and the scissors almost knocked off the freshly made flower bone.

What a blah, the hard-won free time was all disrupted by this cousin.

Gu Aman put down the scissors and wiped his hands, "If you don't want to get married, you can find a way by yourself."

"But my parents will urge me."

Gu Aman: "Then tell them not to rush."

"But I'm old, and I should get married."

Gu Aman: "That's it."

"But……"

Gu Aman was annoyed by this, "He took care of this and that all day long, he was stagnant, he wanted to live for himself, but he was also worried about what others would think of you.

What you need to do is not for me to come here to ask for advice, but to find a doctor and prescribe some medicines for yourself. "

"It's not wrong for the elders in the family to want you to marry. It's not wrong for you to want to live for yourself. In this case, why don't you listen to the family and find someone to marry obediently? After all, your parents don't live as long as you, etc. them……"

Thinking that the other party's parents are his uncle and aunt, Gu Aman changed the euphemism, "When the sky is high, the birds will fly, the sea will be wide, and the fish will fly, you can live whatever you want."

Zhou Xixi was confused.

She said in a daze, "It's not easy for a woman to get along. How could my husband let me leave easily when he died? If I have children, how can I take them away?"

Gu Aman didn't expect that he would say something casually, this person even thought about how many children he would have.

She tilted her head and thought for a while, "Then find someone who is easy to handle. When you make up your mind, he doesn't dare to say anything, and when you want to take the child away, he doesn't dare to stop you. This way you can get the best of both worlds."

She even thought of a suitable candidate.

However, she mentioned it to Zhou Xixi in a vague way before, and she didn't know if the other party had thought about it carefully.

Looking at Zhou Xixi whose three outlooks and concept of life were destroyed, he smiled rarely.

"Your brother is very suitable."

Zhou Xixi's cheeks flushed, she couldn't help but take a step back, and the hand pointing at Gu Aman trembled.

This man had teased her about this before, why did he bring it up now?

But she had considered it since the last time, but she was rejected by herself in the end.

"Don't talk nonsense! He belongs to my mother..." She was really shy and unable to say the following words.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Aman's eyes became more interesting, "The son-in-law is insured for the son-in-law."

"Zhou Zhu has no one to rely on, and all he relies on is your Zhou family. You make an agreement with him, and you will give him a few more beautiful wives and concubines, and promise to give him a large sum of money after the matter is completed. Believe it. I, he would be happy to make this deal with you."

Zhou Xixi felt that Gu Aman was simply unconstrained, thinking about it indiscriminately, the things he said were things he would never even dare to think about.

She keeps calling "brother" people, even if there is no blood relationship, you make her scratch like a cat scratching her heart.

Zhou Xixi left in a daze, leaving only the sentence "I'll go back and think about it".

Gu Aman stretched out his hand to caress the red camellia in his hand, "After staying in the cubicle for so long, I can hear clearly what should be heard and what should not be heard. It's time for Mr. Zhou to come out to get some air."

The door of the compartment nailed with the landscape screen was pulled open, and Zhou Zhu came out from behind, "Boss Gu is very eloquent."

Gu Aman smiled, "I always have to be considerate to my partners."

She looked up at Zhou Zhu, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, "You're right, Boss Zhou."

Gu Aman took out an account book from under the flower pot and threw it over, "This is some business under the hands of the servant of the household department. Since you want to be the son-in-law who rides the dragon quickly, you must first let your father-in-law appreciate it, so that the marriage will come to fruition."

Looking at the account book, Zhou Zhu's face became serious, "If one day my wish is fulfilled, I will report Boss Gu's appreciation today."

Gu Aman smiled without saying a word, "There will be a chance."

In the end, Gu Mingluan was able to enter the Central Palace not because of the financial support of Zhou's natal family.

If she cut off this way, she also cut off the sixth prince's food and clothing supply.

It's a very fitting business.

"Master, Mr. Xiao is here."

As soon as Zhou Xixi and Zhou Zhu were sent away, Xia Chun came to report again.

Gu Aman calculated the time. At this time, Emperor Wei trusted Xiao Xi to be in full swing. How could he come here at this time?
After thinking about it, she asked someone to invite Xiao Xi to the front hall.

Gu Aman didn't usually appear in the front hall, so the front hall was a bit cold, seeing the servants bringing braziers and hanging curtains, Xiao Xi actually felt uncomfortable disturbing the other party's leisurely life.

I always feel that my arrival has caused some trouble to the other party.

Although in Gu Aman's view, this is indeed the case.

"I thought you were being invited to a drink by your colleagues this time, why did you come to my place when you have time?"

Gu Aman chose the warm kang to sit down. She was a little afraid of the cold, and just as she sat down, Xia Chun covered it with a blanket and poured hot tea.

The fluffy fox fur wraps Gu Aman like a pompom carved with powder, taking advantage of her bright and cold face, it is indescribably beautiful.

"I went to Gu's residence today, and I happened to meet Mrs. Gu. He heard that I would pass by you when I came back, so he asked me to bring you a few boxes of pastries."

Listening to this reason, Gu Aman simply didn't know where to start complaining.

Visited my home and was entrusted by my family to bring me something.

He was clearly in Shangjing, but he didn't know where he was trying to survive.

She paused.

In fact, it's not difficult to guess what grandma is thinking, it must be the previous incident that made her very satisfied with Xiao Xi, so she deliberately matched.

She looked at Xiao Xi.

Needless to say about this person's appearance, talent, and future, he is perfect from hair to toe.

Not to mention that grandma likes it, even she was dizzy when she saw it back then.

What a pity, what a pity.

This man is not just a scumbag.

He's still the only sixth prince, an obedient dog.

Even if this dog leg is excellent in a mess.

Gu Aman sighed and shook his head, just about to tell Xiao Xi to stay away from his grandmother in the future, but for some reason, when he thought of the sixth prince, he felt an unexplainable strangeness in his heart.

It's not the Sixth Prince's preference for Xiao Xi to come here at this time.

The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she looked at Xiao Xi.

The defensive eyes of "Are you planning to kill me?" were too stark, so blunt that the gentle smile on Xiao Xi's face couldn't hold back.

"Aman..."

When Xiao Xi opened his mouth, Gu Aman shuddered. He was used to being called "Miss Gu Si", and when he heard the other party shouting that, he suddenly had the illusion of a weasel wishing a chicken New Year's greetings.

"Xiao Xi."

Gu Aman had a serious expression on his face, "Although you are not young anymore, and I am not yet old enough, can you call me by another name, at least don't make me feel like an elder." Come on, I'm a little girl, shame on me!

He was eloquent in the court and was sought after by the courtiers, but when he came to Gu Aman's place, he was silenced by silence.

"A handful of age" is what I think it means?
"Aman girl still likes to joke so much."

Xiao Xi sat down, and he drank half a cup of tea. His posture and movements were like a ruler, showing the perfection of a nobleman, but he couldn't hide his nervousness.

"Master Gu told me something today..."

As soon as he heard about that unlucky father, Gu Aman had a feeling of "it's true". According to his usual understanding of Mr. Gu, what Xiao Xi was going to say must not be a good thing.

really.

After looking at Gu Aman, Xiao Xi said, "He asked about my current family situation, and also mentioned your family situation..."

Although Xiao Xi had thought a lot about it on the way here, but when the real thing came to an end, he felt that those words that he had thought about a long time ago were a bit difficult...to speak.

Gu Aman frowned, "Is he planning to marry you and me?"

Xiao Xi was taken aback for a moment, but then he shook his head again, "There is indeed a marriage, but he mentioned the third girl from the Gu family."

The third girl of the Gu family, Gu Zhen?

Gu Aman's expression was a bit complicated when he thought of the cute and insignificant third sister, "Did Mr. Gu drink too much? He thought that with your current status, he would marry Gu Zhen as his wife?"

No matter how cute, gentle and virtuous Gu Zhen is, she is just a concubine.

According to Xiao Xi's current status, let alone the concubine's daughter of a third-rank official, even the concubine's daughter of the Duke of the Duke is worthy of her.

Mr. Gu is out of his mind, to have such an unrealistic idea, isn't this a way of saying that Xiao Xi can only match his concubine daughter?This is not marriage, this is clearly enmity.

Gu Aman couldn't help feeling emotional, "As expected of Mr. Gu, not only women's affairs are unclear, but even daughter's marriage matters are also confused."

Gu Aman, who was tsk-tsk loudly, did not show the slightest respect for his biological father.

But when such outrageous words came out of Gu Aman's mouth, Xiao Xi felt a little cute.

Gu Aman spoke like this, did he also...

He collected his thoughts, "You're wrong about one thing. He mentioned that the third girl of the Gu family did have the idea of ​​getting married, but he didn't intend to let me marry her as his wife, but took her as his concubine."

Gu Aman suddenly felt a feeling of "Master Gu is Mr. Gu", and this is really Mr. Gu who is good at making money.

Even if Gu Zhen is a concubine, it is not a problem for her to marry Mr. Gu's other officials as his official wife.

Ordinary people are not willing to let their own daughters be concubines for others, but Mr. Gu is so powerful that he even sent his own daughter there.

Mr. Gu doesn't know whether he has become more and more confused in this Vanity Fair, or he has completely understood.

However, this is all other people's business.

Gu Aman put down the teacup and cupped his hands towards Xiao Xi, "That's really congratulations to Mr. Xiao, and I'm happy to have a beautiful concubine."

Xiao Xi just drank the tea, and suddenly felt embarrassed that he couldn't swallow or spit it out.

He also needs to tell Gu Aman that Mr. Gu not only "kindly recommended" his third daughter, but also his sister, Miss Gu.

If Mrs. Gu hadn't come over, I'm afraid he couldn't help but lose face to Gu Aman's father.

especially.

The old lady Gu said in front of Master Gu, "Master Xiao really wants to marry my Gu family, but the one who wants to marry is not your concubine daughter, but your eldest daughter—Gu Aman."

Xiao Xi looked up at her.

Does she know.

The two of them are getting engaged...
