happy match

Given Gu Xinian's dislike for Shen Chang'an, it was inevitable to speak out against Shen Chang'an at such a time.

"There is no need to worry about this." Gu Xinian restrained his smile, and said lightly: "Yu'er is still young, and it will not be too late to leave the court after staying for a few more years. As for delaying the marriage, there is no need to worry. If Shen Chang'an has this heart, and he won't care if he waits a few more years."

"That's not what you said." When it comes to this issue, Ye Qinglan usually holds the opposite opinion with Gu Xinian: "Even if Shen Changan doesn't mind waiting a few more years, we can't let sister Xiyu become an old girl before she gets married. ! Now that we have made a marriage agreement and have a title, we can get married at any time. Even for the sake of sister Xiyu's reputation, there should be no further delay."

The person involved, Gu Xiyu, deeply agreed and nodded in agreement.

Gu Xinian glanced at Gu Xiyu, Gu Xiyu nodded abruptly, and lowered her head obediently.

Only then did Gu Xinian look away, and continued the topic just now: "Whether Shen Changan is a good match for Yu'er depends on his future performance. In short, there is no need to rush to make a marriage now."

After all, I just don't want to betroth my precious sister to Shen Chang'an, and I just want to delay it!In fact, everyone present knew very well that although Gu Xiyu and Shen Changan had very different temperaments, they were in love with each other.If Gu Xiyu doesn't marry Shen Changan, who else will she marry?

According to Ye Qinglan's temperament in the past, she would definitely have a tit-for-tat dispute with Gu Xinian at this time.However, the couple's life over the past six months has made the two of them have a lot of temper.At the moment when the four eyes meet.It was a very tacit decision. If there is any disagreement, we should wait until we are alone in private and then "solve" it...

Mrs. Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "Marriage is not a child's play after all. It stands to reason that General Shen is not in the capital, so it is indeed inconvenient to proceed with the engagement. However, there are exceptions to everything when matters are urgent. Find an opportunity to privately hint to Shen Changan, let him go to the official media to come and propose marriage!"

As soon as this remark came out, the three people reacted very differently.

Gu Xiyu's pretty face lit up.Ye Qinglan smiled, but Gu Xinian's expression darkened in an instant, and she opened her mouth to object without thinking: "Mother, this matter should be discussed in the long term..."

"Xinian," Mrs. Zheng interrupted Gu Xinian gently but decisively: "I know you have never had a good impression of Shen Changan, to be honest. I don't particularly like him either. But Yu'er likes him and is willing to marry him. Him. Judging from his performance, he also likes Yu'er very much. As long as he treats Yu'er well, it is more important than anything else. Our wishes are not as important as Yu'er's happiness. Don't you think so?"

Mrs. Zheng has always been gentle and easy-going, even if it is comforting.Also like a gentle breeze and light rain.Seeing that Gu Xinian wanted to refute, he added a few words lightly: "Your marriage with Qinglan. If I want to object, I may not find a reason to object. However, since you like it so much, I, a mother, can't bear it." Disappointing. It's the same for Yu'er now!"

Gu Xinian was speechless.

Gu Xiyu smiled sweetly: "Mother, do you really plan to let me get engaged to him at the end of the year?"

There was a trace of love in Madam Zheng's eyes: "Yu'er, tell me, are you really willing to marry him?"

Gu Xiyu nodded without thinking.

Mrs. Zheng smiled slightly: "Since that's the case, then leave this matter to your elder brother! Find a time to invite him to come over as a guest, and ask your father to stay with the guests."

The so-called accompanying guests.Of course it is on the scene.In fact, he is the son-in-law!

Gu Xiyu nodded happily, without the shyness of a daughter who is about to marry.Gu Xinian did not object again, but his expression was really not good-looking.Because I was in a bad mood, I was a little restless all day.

In the afternoon, it happened that Shen Chang'an ordered someone to quietly deliver a message to him.He said he was invited to Yipinlou for a drink at night.This was also the secret signal that the two of them had agreed upon. As long as there was a letter from the border gate, or a letter that needed to be delivered to General Shen, they would take advantage of this time to meet.

The on-duty time had passed, but Gu Xinian didn't leave immediately, he insisted on waiting half an hour longer before going to Yipin Building.As expected, Shen Changan really came early, and waited for a long time to see the posture.

Shen Changan's concealment skills have never been very good. Although he tried his best to hide the anxiety and impatience in his heart with a smile, his eyes betrayed his true emotions.

Gu Xinian glanced at him, finally calmed down a bit, and asked straightforwardly: "Did General Shen write again?"

Shen Chang'an nodded, carefully took out a letter from his arms, and delivered it to Gu Xinian.In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, the letter was not even signed.

The business is important, Gu Xinian didn't say a word of nonsense, and quickly opened the letter and read it.After reading it, he moved the letter paper to the candlestick and ignited it until it was burned to ashes before he was completely relieved.

Shen Changan couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked tentatively: "What did my father say in the letter?" The battle reports from the border have not been very good, so there is no need to elaborate on the people's feelings in the court.The crown prince has been reprimanded repeatedly recently, and he has no good days in disgrace.On the contrary, the faction of the three princes began to gather forces to impeach the crown prince with great fanfare. Some of them were bold enough to even bluntly say that the crown prince was not good at overseeing the army and needed to be replaced...

Being in the court, Shen Chang'an is also clear about these things.However, he always felt that it must not be that simple behind it.Not to mention anything else, there were five or six letters between Gu Xinian and his father in private.What was discussed in each of these letters?Why did he even keep it in the dark?

As usual, such questions are bound to remain unanswered.

Gu Xinian didn't answer but instead asked, "Are you free the day after tomorrow?"

Shen Changan was taken aback by this sudden question, and subconsciously replied: "Recently, the border war is urgent, and the Ministry of War is busy recruiting recruits. I have to be responsible for recruiting and training. The next one or two months will probably be very busy." busy."

"A month or two?" Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, then smiled suddenly.For some reason, that smile made Shen Chang'an inexplicably feel that something was wrong.Sure enough, Gu Xinian said slowly: "I planned to invite you to the mansion as a guest, but since you are so busy, let's forget about it..."

What?Going to Dingguo Mansion as a guest?Or did Gu Xinian open his mouth to invite? !

Shen Changan was so excited that he almost bit his tongue: "I'm free, I'm free!"

Gu Xinian asked very understandingly: "Are you sure you are really free?"

Shen Changan nodded again and again, and said in succession: "Of course I'm sure. Whether it's noon or night the day after tomorrow, I'm sure I'm free!" Although I still haven't figured out why Gu Xinian suddenly opened his mouth to invite him to be a guest, but such a rare occasion Good thing, only a fool would push it out.

Speaking of which, even though they are both in the capital, he hasn't seen his dear sister Gu for a long time.If you have the opportunity to visit this time, you must find an opportunity to talk to Gu Xiyu.Even if it's just sneaking a glance, it's good!

Shen Changan was so happy in his heart, his smile was not to mention brilliant.

Such a bright smile fell on Gu Xinian's eyes, but it was a bit of an eyesore.Gu Xinian snorted softly, and his face suddenly sank: "I have something to do first."

His temper is really weird, turning his face is like flipping a book!Shen Chang'an murmured in his heart, and hurriedly asked Gu Xinian's back: "Then I will go there the morning after tomorrow."

His answer was a door slam!

Shen Changan: "..."

Forget it, brother-in-law has always had a bad temper, so don't take it to heart.Shen Changan comforted himself in his heart, and when he thought about the trip to Dingguo Mansion the day after tomorrow, he immediately became excited again.

Dear sister Gu, here I come!

I won't mention how difficult the next two nights and one day were.

On this day, Shen Chang'an specifically asked for a whole day's leave, got up before dawn, gave a punch, took a shower, changed into a brand new military uniform, and combed his half-length hair neatly. together.Taking a selfie in the mirror, he felt that Yushu was facing the wind and was unrestrained and unrestrained, so he smiled complacently, and then he was ready to go out excitedly.

Coincidentally, as soon as he got on the horse, the porter's servant came galloping to report: "Young Master Meng is here."

Shen Changan was taken aback, and immediately got off his horse, while commanding: "Hurry up and ask Mr. Meng to come in."

Before the words finished, a familiar hearty laughter sounded: "No need, I'm already here."

Shen Changan grinned, turned around, and punched Meng Zijun on the shoulder with his fist unceremoniously: "Good boy, you are now a big celebrity in the Ministry of Punishment. It is not easy to see you on weekdays."

Meng Zijun often runs outside, he is a little darker and thinner, but he is very energetic.Smiling and punching back: "It's rare for me to take a day off in a month, so I'm not here to see you."

If it was on weekdays, it would be rare for Meng Zijun to come to see him off duty, he would be very happy, and he would have ordered someone to prepare food and wine long ago.But today, he was anxious to go to Dingguo's mansion, and he was really in no mood to chat with Meng Zijun.He coughed and said, "I'm very embarrassed today, I'm going to be a guest at someone's house today, and I really don't have time to accompany you."

Meng Zijun looked Shen Chang'an up and down, and saw that he was dressed casually and casually, and the joy in his eyes could not be concealed, so he suddenly realized: "Aren't you going to the future father-in-law's house? !"

Shen Changan's smile almost reached his ears: "You guessed it right, this time I didn't take the initiative to come to the door, it was my future brother-in-law who opened his mouth to invite me to be a guest."

Meng Zijun snorted, and asked interestingly: "According to this, isn't there hope for your marriage with your sister Gu?"

Judging from Gu Xinian's temperament, if he hadn't made concessions, how could he take the initiative to invite Shen Changan to visit him? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
