Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Xu Shuhua was happy to receive the birthday gift from Gu Yunji, but he couldn't help being a little puzzled.

Gu Yunji and her have always paid attention to propriety when interacting with each other. Even after confirming each other's intentions, they have never violated the rules. It can be said that they are a bit old-fashioned.

Today, however, he has changed from his reserved and introverted manner in the past. He first accepted her handkerchief in public, and then gave her a slightly ambiguous jewelry bracelet. Much bolder.

Although Xu Shuhua didn't dislike it, and even liked it a little bit, she was still very curious about the reason for Gu Yunji's change of attitude.
Seeming to see through Xu Shuhua's inner thoughts, Gu Yunji smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I have saved a lot of jewelry gifts in the past two years. The reason why I didn't give them to you directly is because I was worried that the timing was not ripe, and giving it rashly would appear frivolous, and I was afraid of scaring you." you."

"Actually, even now, it's not a good time, after all, you and I are not engaged yet. It's just—"

Gu Yunji paused, then sighed softly, with a tone of nostalgia and melancholy, floating into Xu Shuhua's heart like a feather: "I can't wait, Shuhua."

Xu Shuhua's mind was pounding, he endured the trembling of his fingertips and slowly raised his head, and saw the young man's fiery and sincere eyes: "I once promised the teacher that I would propose marriage to you when I pass the Jinshi exam one day, and now I have done it. After the exam results were released, I went to Xin's home to tell my parents about the matter between us, they should be on their way to the capital right now."

"I have restrained myself for nearly three years, endured it for nearly three years, and now I finally have the qualifications to marry you." Gu Yunji looked at her fixedly, with a mournful tone that seemed to be begging, "When my parents arrive in the capital, they will formally pay their respects to her." During the time before your family proposed marriage, just tolerate my outrageous behavior, okay?"

In the past, Gu Yunji thought that the relationship between himself and Xu Shuhua was like one person running hard while the other was waiting in front of him. As long as he successfully ran to the finish line, he could get everything he wanted.But then he found out that wasn't the case.

Gu Yunji is indeed famous for his talent and extraordinary strength; but Xu Shuhua is also talented and beautiful, she is beautiful and intelligent, and is a well-known noble lady in the capital circle. She is not inferior to him in terms of family background and personal charm. She has never lacked suitors and admirers. Chanson is the best example.

Qian Xun was the only one he knew, so how many more did he not know?Objectively speaking, among the many men who could match Xu Shuhua, Gu Yunji was not the most outstanding one. If he and Xu Shuhua hadn't had a long-standing relationship, she would never have been able to wait for him for so long.

Xu Shuhua is going to be married soon, and according to the standards of this era, he is already a relatively late age for marriage.Gu Yunji originally thought that he was quite patient, and planned to discuss marriage with her slowly after she was nominated for the gold list, but he didn't expect that Xu Shuhua could wait in the end, but he couldn't.

The moment Qian Xun confessed his love to Xu Shuhua in public, he was anxious and angry, wishing to immediately announce that Xu Shuhua was Gu Yunji's destined wife, and it was impossible for him to marry someone else, but he held back in the end and didn't say anything.

But also from that day on, a sense of urgency emerged in his heart, and he couldn't wait any longer.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Yunji calmed down his emotions, and said: "According to our current relationship, the bracelet I gave you, the words I just said to you, including my behavior standing here at the moment, are all strictly speaking. It's not polite. But I was really afraid that you would be snatched away, so I was a little anxious for a while, can you accept it?"

Seeing Gu Yunji's eyes full of nervousness, Xu Shuhua's lips curled slightly, his heart was amused and moved: "Fool, what is this? I don't think it's enough. Don't say that you are giving me a bracelet here, just in front of you." He won't say anything in the face of my father."

Although it is said that men and women are very defensive, in fact, they are not so taboo in daily life. Except for some old-fashioned people who admit death, few people will always pay attention to whether someone's behavior is proper or not.However, Gu Yunji still obeyed the rules like something, he confined himself within the rules of etiquette and refused to take a step too far.

In fact, Gu Yunji is not a rigid person, he is always careful because he cherishes Xu Shuhua too much.

In this era, Xu Shuhua is the only female of the same age who is not related to him, and the relationship between the two is quite special, which makes him often worry about how to get along well, for fear that if he is not careful, it will have a bad impact on Xu Shuhua's reputation.I thought that instead of weighing and entangled, it would be better to stay in the frame and not to test the boundaries.

If he hadn't been stimulated by Qian Xun, he might have kept this rule until the moment before entering the bridal chamber.

Fortunately, Xu Shuhua didn't show any dislike for his transgression, which also relieved his psychological burden.

Mentioning Xu Chengyu, Gu Yunji smiled helplessly: "The teacher would naturally not say anything if he knew about it, and maybe he would think that my movements were too slow. In fact, if it wasn't for the teacher, I wouldn't be so impatient."

Xu Shuhua didn't understand, so: "Huh? Why do you say that?"

Gu Yunji said: "That day when the Qian family came to ask for a marriage proposal, the teacher could have just turned it down and refused to let you come out to meet the guests. But he not only let you come out, but also asked you to greet Qian Xun in front of me. It is clear It's just that the father and son of the borrower urged me to bring my parents to propose marriage to your family earlier."

Before Xu Shuhua came out that day, Xu Chengyu glanced at him from time to time, and almost said "You see, the gongshi in the family brought the parents to propose marriage the next day. If you look at you again, you don't know how to worry" written on his face Well, if he doesn't put on an attitude, he really doesn't know what to do.

It was the first time for Xu Shuhua to know that there was such a story behind it. After being surprised, he felt that this was indeed something Xu Chengyu had done, so he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Actually, Daddy is not worried about you going back on your word, he just doesn't want things to be delayed." If it takes too long, accidents will happen easily.”

Gu Yunji smiled and said: "Well, I understand. So I wrote a letter to my parents as soon as I went back that day, asking them to come to Beijing to arrange the wedding for me. Counting the days, it should be in the middle and early May, and there is still a month left about."

Gu Yunji looked into Xu Shuhua's eyes seriously, and said: "As soon as my father and mother arrive, I will immediately bring them to the door to propose marriage, and I won't keep you waiting any longer."

Xu Shuhua's pretty face was blush, and she replied softly, holding back her shame, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After chatting for a while, Gu Yunji bid farewell to Xu Shuhua and went straight back to the guild hall.

As Gu Yunji expected, when he returned, he was greeted with a loud celebration scene, and groups of guests who came to congratulate him, he was so busy that he didn't get away all afternoon.

The sun was setting and the night was getting darker. Just as Gu Yunji and the others packed up everything and were about to go back to their room to rest, the Imperial Examination Hall ushered in another guest.

"May I ask if Mr. Gu Yunji and Mr. Cheng Yan live here?"
