happy match

In order to make amends in time, Shen Changan took a serious look at Ye Qinglan, and then smiled courteously: "I haven't seen my sister-in-law for more than half a year, and I was shocked when I suddenly saw her with such a big belly. Actually, take a closer look now. Look, even if my sister-in-law became pregnant twice and gained some freckles on her face... she is still an out-and-out beauty."

...Listen, this is the truth!Everyone has gained weight twice, not to mention their big belly, and they have spots on their faces.Just like this, where else can I see?

Ye Qinglan twitched the corners of her lips, as if she had received Shen Changan's praise.This time, he didn't even give Gu Xinian a sad look.

Will you die if you shut up and say a few words? !Gu Xinian glared at Shen Changan bitterly.

Shen Changan shut his mouth reflexively.The world is finally quiet!

Mrs. Zheng smoothed things over with a smile: "Lunch is ready, let's go to the dining room now!"

……

In fact, as long as you get used to the way the Shen family and his son speak, there is nothing to be surprised about.Gu Hong and Mrs. Zheng tried to persuade and comfort themselves in their hearts.As for generals, you can't ask them to be as polite as scholars, and there is nothing wrong with speaking directly.At least, don't bother trying to figure out what's going on in their minds.Because it's all on the face...

Shen Changan was so excited that he basically just smirked.

Shen Ming also felt ashamed after seeing his son's virtue, so he simply stopped looking at him and started drinking with Gu Hong and Gu Xinian and his son.After drinking for three rounds, everyone's interest in talking became stronger.

Gu Hong curiously asked about the border war, and Shen Ming talked about it eloquently, let alone Gu Xinian and Shen Changan.Even Ye Qinglan raised her ears curiously.

I have lived in the prosperous and peaceful capital city for a long time, and I can hardly imagine what the war at the border is like.But in fact.War has always been a cruel thing.The lives of soldiers are extremely fragile on the battlefield.Shen Ming said casually that at least several thousand soldiers died on the battlefield this year.If you are lucky, you can find the corpse and incinerate it and bring it back to the capital.If you are unlucky, you can only bury your bones in a different place...

Everyone fell silent together, and the atmosphere became a little dignified.

Shen Ming is used to life and death, but he doesn't feel so much sentimentality. He said lightly: "As soldiers, it is their destination to die in battle to protect the territory and defend the people. Rest in peace." When he said these words, Shen Ming's battle-hardened military aura was undoubtedly revealed.

Ye Qinglan looked at Shen Ming.There was a natural expression of respect and admiration in his eyes.

Gu Hong and Mrs. Zheng were also slightly moved, and the bad impression they had about Shen Ming disappeared in an instant.Even his attitude towards Shen Changan has changed a lot.Although the generals are a bit rough and uneducated, how can the country, the people, the people, the prosperity and prosperity without them defending the country on the bloody battlefield?Gu Xiyu was lucky to be able to marry such an upright man.

Gu Xinian also seemed to have some feelings in his heart, but after seeing Shen Changan's overjoyed and silly look, that slight change disappeared immediately, and it was directly replaced by contempt.

Baby sister marrying such a man is like a flower stuck in cow dung! ! !

Since the engagement.Shen Changan never saw Gu Xiyu again.At this moment in Dingguo Duke's Mansion, the eagerness gathered and brewed in my heart, just about to move.From time to time, I just look out, but it's a pity that my neck is so long.There was no sign of Yi Ren either.

Shen Changan's performance was so obvious, not to mention Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian, even Gu Hong, who was a little slower, could see it.but.It is customary not to meet before marriage.Therefore, everyone tacitly turned a blind eye to Shen Changan's longing.

Even Ye Qinglan.Also decided not to help this time.Of course, she would never admit that she was angry because of the few words Shen Changan said between them.She is not so narrow-minded! ! !

After lunch.Gu Hong, Gu Xinian and his son went to the study to drink tea and chat with Shen Ming, but Shen Changan shamelessly followed Madam Zheng and Ye Qinglan to the side hall and sat dryly.Although he didn't say anything, just looking at the two of them eagerly made one's heart soften.

Mrs. Zheng couldn't bear to be cruel, so she ordered the servant girl to go to Lengyue Pavilion and call Gu Xiyu out.

Shen Chang'an's ears were very sharp, and when he heard Gu Xiyu's boudoir name, he was overjoyed, sat up straight with trembling spirits, and adjusted his clothes specially.

Ye Qinglan and Mrs. Zheng looked at each other, and they both smiled.

Gu Xiyu came soon.Not long after her 17th birthday, she is a woman's most beautiful age, like a budding flower slowly blooming, with just a slight smile, she exudes dazzling brilliance.

Shen Changan took a breath, fixed his eyes on her body, and couldn't look away anymore.

Gu Xiyu was also very happy to see Shen Chang'an, she didn't understand those etiquettes, she didn't have the shyness of a married woman seeing her fiancé-in-law, so she just looked at Shen Chang'an with a smile: "You haven't come here for a long time Look at me."

Shen Chang'an couldn't help getting up: "I actually wanted to see you a long time ago, but I never had a chance to come..."

Madam Zheng coughed heavily.Gu Xiyu's nature is simple and ignorant of world affairs, so it's okay to speak recklessly.Shen Chang'an is a grown man, he should be careful with his words!

……

Shen Chang'an finally heard Madam Zheng's hint, smiled a little embarrassingly, and sat back obediently.It's just that the eyes are firmly attached to Gu Xiyu's body as if they have their own ideas.

Mrs. Zheng is used to being gentle and courteous, but has she ever seen such...direct and unscrupulous people?Unbearable, he coughed twice more.

Before Shen Changan had any reaction, Gu Xiyu looked over curiously: "Mother, why have you been coughing non-stop today, are you sick? Get someone to call a doctor to come in and check your pulse!"

Madam Zheng: "..."

Ye Qinglan almost burst out laughing, barely held back, and opened her mouth to help Mrs. Zheng: "Mother-in-law probably drank too much tea just now, so she coughed a few times. Don't need to see the doctor, she will recover naturally later. .”

Gu Xiyu didn't hear anything unusual at all, she hummed obediently and remained silent.Then he walked to Ye Qinglan and sat down.

With Mrs. Zheng and Ye Qinglan around, Shen Changan and Gu Xiyu didn't have much chance to talk at all.It's just that she glanced at him, and he... just stared at her all the time!

Madam Zheng took a deep breath and comforted herself repeatedly.For young people, they are always enthusiastic and straightforward, and it is understandable to see their sweetheart lose their temper.After she settled her mind, Mrs. Zheng squeezed out a smile and asked: "Young Master Shen, your mother passed away early, and your father has not reunited. For so many years, I heard that there is not even a person in charge in Shen's residence. Who takes care of the daily chores?"

Shen Chang'an replied without hesitation: "Mother Lu is in charge of the household affairs on weekdays. She was my mother's dowry maid and my wet nurse. She stayed in our Shen family for decades. After my mother passed away, She has always taken care of the housework. Over the years, she has been very dedicated to take care of it."

The population of the Shen family is simple, the master and son are just two of them, they don't pay much attention to basic necessities of life.Lu's mother is mainly responsible for managing the servants in the mansion, as well as dealing with other people's weddings and funerals in other mansions.

Mrs. Zheng nodded thoughtfully, her expression a little subtle.

With Gu Xiyu's temperament, it is impossible to be the mistress of the house.Even if she married into the Shen family in the future, she would still have to rely on the people around her to help with trivial matters.I don't know what kind of personality this Lu's mother is, and whether she is reliable...

Shen Changan, who has always been dull, was so clever this time that he guessed what Mrs. Zheng was worried about, and explained with a smile: "Mother-in-law, please don't worry, Mother Lu has always done things properly, and she will never do that. It’s such a tricky slave to deceive the master. After Yu’er gets married, I will hand over the trivial matters in the house to Yu’er. She can ask her if she wants to, but if she thinks it’s too complicated, she can leave it to her trusted maids and stewards.”

These words sounded pleasing to the ear, and Mrs. Zheng finally had a smile on her face: "It's too early to say these things. In short, as long as you treat Yu'er well and don't let her be wronged, I can rest assured." gone."

Shen Changan straightened his chest, and made a promise without hesitation: "I am honored to be able to marry Yu'er. It is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes. In the future, I will treat her wholeheartedly and never let her suffer any grievances. A man is a man who keeps his promises, and what I say will definitely mean what I say, and my mother-in-law can rest assured." These frank words, coupled with his sincere and sincere expression, make it impossible to doubt his sincerity.

Gu Xiyu couldn't help raising her eyes, and looked at Shen Changan.The eyes of the two were intertwined.

Mrs. Zheng was also a little moved, and she suddenly had a little more affection for this prospective son-in-law.

Of course, good feelings belong to good feelings, and the principles that should be there are still not missing at all.

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Gu Xiyu, and said gently: "Yu'er, don't you have something else to do? Let's go back to Lengyue Pavilion first." It's unreasonable for the two to meet, and of course they can't stay for too long.

Gu Xiyu blinked her black and white eyes, and said innocently: "Mom, you must have misremembered! I'm so busy all day long, there's nothing important to do!"

Madam Zheng: "..."

Ye Qinglan held back her smile, and smoothed things over: "Sister Xiyu, what mother means is that you have been out for a long time, and it is not appropriate to stay any longer. You should go back to Lengyue Pavilion first! We will wait for the two of you to get married in the future." After we get married, we spend more time together day and night, don't worry about this moment, right?"

Wouldn't it be enough to speak so clearly?

Gu Xiyu obediently responded, and got up to say goodbye to everyone. (To be continued..)
