The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 885 It's My Fault
"Cough! Mistress, I know all of this. It's just that I'm so focused on the court, I haven't considered marriage at all."

Gu Chengyu shook his head, with an indifferent look on his face, which made the hearts of the old couple even more tugged.

"Jinyu! Our teachers and students have nothing to say. Don't you, uh! Have someone you like?"

Liang Zhirui still didn't understand what Gu Chengyu meant, he wanted to ask if Gu Chengyu was as good as Long Yang.

But in this case, he couldn't ask after all, so he had to settle for the next best thing and ask in another way.

"Why would the teacher ask such a question? I'm off work every day, and I'm either going back to your house or coming to your and senior brother's house. How can I have a crush? I haven't even seen a girl."

Gu Chengyu rubbed the back of his head with a confused face, this question was strange.

Gu Chengyu just remembered that since he came to this ancient time, he really hadn't paid much attention to the matter of men and women!

Liang Zhirui and Ning Shi looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised.From the point of view of taking care of Chengyu, wouldn't it be that he hasn't enlightened yet?

"Cough! Since you don't have a crush, what do you think of Sister Xian?"

Seeing the old man whimpering, Ning didn't ask, but she couldn't wait any longer, so she asked directly.

"What your teacher 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 skylight and speak frankly. If you think that Sister Xian is suitable for you, it is not wronged you, and we are also willing to be beautiful as adults. .”

Liang Zhirui saw that the old woman had already opened her mouth, so he continued to talk.

There are some things as long as the beginning is started, the end will be smooth.

Ning glanced sideways at her master, her posture was too low.Their sister Xian is good-looking and has a gentle temperament. She is the best candidate for a good wife and mother.

Besides, sister Xian's status is not low, and it is more than enough to accompany Gu Chengyu.

"Jinyu! In fact, we shouldn't have asked you about this matter. It's 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 I want to ask you clearly. We also know 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 you and your master.”

Ning forced a smile, but in fact, she didn't need to tell Gu Chengyu at all.

As long as they find Gu Chengyu's mother and they reveal some words, if the Gu family is willing, then everyone will be happy.

And if the Gu family didn't mean it, it wouldn't affect Miss Xian's reputation.

The important matter of marriage is originally the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, who is not given by the elders?

How could it be like now, making their sister Xian look inferior.But the old man was stubborn and insisted on asking Gu Chengyu for his opinion.

Ning had no choice but to follow the old man's wishes.

Gu Chengyu felt troubled in his heart, he had never thought about getting married before.

He was a woman in his previous life. In this life, he doesn't know if he can live with a woman without any grievances, and it will still be for the rest of his life.

But how can he refuse the teacher here?If he really refused, saying that it would not hurt the relationship between master and apprentice, it would be impossible.

Even if the teacher can forgive him, what about the teacher's wife?
In the eyes of others, Yao Mengxian is the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion, while she is only from a peasant household.

Even if he is now a sixth-rank official, that still can't 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 seen it before, it's not that these two people have never met, but according to his observation, there is no mutual affection between them at all.

Would it be a mess if I did this by myself?Where is Miss Xian?Will you agree again?
Liang Zhirui was confused, he didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.

"Teacher, Miss Yao is naturally good. I'm afraid I won't be good enough for her. I just want to ask, have you asked her what she means? Is she willing? What about the government of Zhenguo? Will they agree?"

Gu Chengyu hasn't made up his mind yet, so he can only find reasons to prevaricate.

He can be sure that the teacher hasn't asked Yao Mengxian yet, maybe Yao Mengxian didn't think about it from me at all.

After all, strictly speaking, I can barely be regarded as her elder.

"Sister Xian, we will talk about it ourselves. We are asking what you mean now."

Seeing Gu Chengyu's hesitation, Ning's heart sank, and she spoke first.

"I'm a little hungry, go and ask the kitchen to prepare some food for me." Liang Zhirui suddenly interrupted Ning Shi, intending to send her out.

Ning Shi was a little anxious, she looked at Liang Zhirui eagerly.But after seeing Liang Zhirui shaking his head at her, he could only sigh leisurely.

"Then I'll go cook some eight-treasure soup, both of you master and apprentice will drink." Ning stood up, forced a smile, and walked out of the main room.

When Ning's figure disappeared from the sight of the two, Liang Zhirui looked at the silent Gu Chengyu and opened his mouth.

"Jinyu! The teacher knows that at this juncture, telling you this is a bit of a way of repaying your kindness."

When Gu Chengyu heard this, he quickly explained, "Teacher, I never thought about it that way."

But he didn't want Liang Zhirui to wave his hand, "Listen to me!"

"You are talented. No matter who is in power in the future, you don't have to worry about it. You just have a bad background! If you can marry a wife who is helpful to you, your official career will be more open. It is the teacher's selfishness. You married Miss Xian."

Liang Zhirui sighed deeply, and there was an indelible sadness in his eyes.

"Of course it doesn't mean that Sister Xian is bad. I'm not boasting. Sister Xian is of noble birth, good-natured, and pretty. The only difference is that she has a stepmother. Otherwise, my grandfather wouldn't need to worry about her marriage. But Who told her mother to think about it and go there early?"

Speaking of this, Liang Zhirui's eyes were filled with tears.

"It's my fault. I made her 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 had a concubine for so many years that she feels that men and women in the world should have a lifetime One life, one pair."

Gu Chengyu picked up the handkerchief and handed it to Liang Zhirui. Liang Zhirui wiped away the tears all over his face with shaking hands.

"It's all in the past, let's just talk about the present. You must know what kind of life Sister Xian lived in the Duke's Mansion. If you marry her, it will not help your official career in the future. Because the Duke's Mansion Those people may recognize Prince Jing as a son-in-law, but they will not take you seriously. You may also offend Prince Jing, and you will be in constant trouble ever since."

After Liang Zhirui said so much, looking at Gu Chengyu who was still expressionless, he didn't know what to do.

"In other words, the harm outweighs the benefits for you to marry Miss Xian. The teacher just analyzed it clearly for you. If you don't want to marry, the teacher will not force you. We will still get along as before, and I won't hold any grudges. You Don't worry. As for your teacher's wife, I'll tell you, she is a sensible person after all. "
