Chapter 281

When eating the banquet, Gu Shan secretly tells Gu Jiu, "can the second elder sister know who the girl is?"

Gu Jiu shook his head, "I don't know. Do the four sisters know? "

Gu Shan whispered: "the girl's surname is Zhou. It is said that she is from Chuzhou and has an engagement with Gu Rui, the elder brother in the hall."

Cough

Gu Jiu coughed repeatedly, "the hall elder brother has been married to Jia's sister-in-law for many years. How can he have an engagement with this girl surnamed Zhou? Did you hear it clearly? "

Gu Shan said: "I am also confused, but I heard from my own ears that the lady of the Duke of Chu said that it was Miss Zhou who had an engagement with the lobby brother."

"Did you say Miss Zhou is from Chuzhou

Gu Shan nodded, "is there a problem?"

Gu Jiu said: "do you know the Zhou family in Chuzhou? The emperor Gaozu's empress of the Yuan Dynasty came from the Zhou family of Chuzhou. Zhou's children are all over the court. Although no one is outstanding, their relationship is intertwined and has a great influence in the court. Even the patriarch of the sun family once said that the sun family was inferior to the Zhou family in three parts. "

Gu Shan was surprised. "The second elder sister means that the girl Zhou who came to visit today with the wife of Duke of Zhu came from the Zhou family of Chuzhou?"

"I can't think of anyone other than the Zhou family in Chuzhou who can make an engagement with the elder brother. Unless there are two Zhous in Chuzhou. "

"Of course, there are no two Zhous in Chuzhou."

Gu Qi came to Gu Jiu's table to propose a toast. When she heard the two chatting, she sat down.

"Does sister Qi know Miss Zhou?" Gu Jiu asked curiously.

Gu Qi shook her head, "I don't know. I just heard of a girl Zhou today."

"It's said that Miss Zhou has an engagement with the lobby brother. Is it true?"

Gu Qi put down her glass, lowered her voice and said, "this is true. I heard that the engagement was made 12 years ago.

However, the eldest brother did not marry his sister-in-law, so the old Marquis tried to quit the marriage.

It has been two years since Jia's sister-in-law passed away. Because of her filial piety, Miss Zhou also delayed her marriage.

The Zhou family learned that the eldest brother is now single and has no children under his knees, so he wants to renew his engagement.

The Duke and wife of the state of Zhu are relatives of the Zhou family. However, the Zhou family entrusted the matter to the Duke and wife of the state of Zhu.

So Miss Zhou followed the Duke and wife of the state of Zhu to visit her and let her see each other.

If it works, maybe the two families really want to renew their engagement. If it doesn't work, you should know a door, and the two families should be relatives. "

After listening to Gu Jiu, he said with emotion: "things in this world are really coincident. Jia's sister-in-law is gone, and Miss Zhou's marriage has not been settled because of her filial piety. Is it God's destiny that Miss Zhou and elder brother in the lobby are the couple who accompany each other to the old age

Gu Shan asked, "how old is Miss Zhou? I'm afraid it's twenty. "

"It should be less than 20, maybe 18, or 19," Gu said

"Is that a little older?" Gu Shan asked in a low voice.

Gu Jiu said: "I think this age is just right."

Gu Chi smiled and smiled. "Well, we said it was not. We had to get the old lady has the final say. Finally, it depends on my brother's wishes. I don't know if the elder brother has been guarding sister-in-law Jia for such a long time

Gu Jiu said with emotion: "brother in the lobby is a man who values love and righteousness. He has deep feelings for sister-in-law Jia. It's a pity that they are too shallow to be with each other until they are old. "

"If the hall elder brother agrees to this marriage, doesn't it mean that we can have a wedding banquet this year?"

……

After dinner, everyone gathered in the flower hall to talk.

Gu Mei takes Gu Jiu to see Gu Rui.

Gu Rui stood in the courtyard where he and Jia lived. Everything in the room still kept the appearance of Jia's when he was alive.

It's just that some of the decorations have been changed. The Jia family has already pulled back Jia's dowry since last year.

"Big brother!"

Gu Mei called softly.

Gu Rui looked back. "Why are you here? You have such a big stomach, how can you still run around? Be careful. "

"I'm fine."

The servant girl brought a chair and let Gu Mei sit down.

Gu Mei sat and asked, "elder brother, are you missing sister-in-law again?"

Gu Rui didn't say a word and looked a little lonely.

"I saw Miss Zhou. I didn't know that my elder brother and Miss Zhou had an engagement in the past. "

Gu Rui said softly, "it was a long time ago, and the old Marquis made his own decision. Today, it's my first time to see Miss Zhou. "

Gu Mei tries to ask a way: "does elder brother have regret to return Zhou's marriage?"

"How can I regret it. The only thing I regret is that I shouldn't let Mingyue have a baby. She has not been well, risk pregnancy, will lead to a big mistake

Gu Rui sighed, feeling more and more heavy.

"And now? Miss Zhou is here. The Zhou family wants to continue marriage. What do you think, brother? "

Gu Mei's problems are more acute and direct.

Gu Rui was a little confused. "I haven't thought about it yet."He looked back at them. "Did I hurt two women? The moon died because of me, and Miss Zhou delayed her marriage because of me. "

Gu Mei loves her elder brother very much. He was really hurt by Jia Mingyue.

After listening for a long time, Gu Jiu stood up and said, "brother, this is the case. You should come out and start looking forward.

The Zhou family wants to renew the engagement. Whether you agree or not, I think you should make a quick decision.

If you don't agree, refuse decisively. The Zhou family still has time to find another marriage for Miss Zhou.

If you agree, the Zhou family will take the time to buy a dowry for Miss Zhou.

Because you sympathize with Miss Zhou, you hesitate to delay this matter. You are not kind, but cruel, even shameless.

Girl's youth can't drag, if you don't want to, it's time to refuse. If you are willing, please reply to Zhou Jiada as soon as possible.

If you don't like to hear it, you are good at everything, but you are not decisive enough, so many things come out. "

Gu Mei is worried and pulls Gu Jiu. How can you say everything? What if it irritates people.

Gu Rui's face was changeable, embarrassed, self reproached and thoughtful.

"Is compassion cruel?"

He looked at Gu Jiu. "Little sister Jiu, is compassion cruel to the girl's family?"

Gu Jiu said with a loud voice: "if her misfortune comes from you, and you can't change her misfortune, then your sympathy is cruel."

Gu Rui laughed bitterly. "You are right. I have no right to sympathize with anyone."

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and asked, "do you have a decision now?"

Gu Mei is very nervous. She hopes her elder brother will accept Miss Zhou, but she also hopes not to. It's contradictory.

Gu Rui solemnly said, "I'm going to interview Miss Zhou now. Thank you two sisters."

It seems that gurui still hasn't made up his mind.

They watched him leave.

Gu Mei sighed, "I don't know what elder brother and Miss Zhou are talking about."

Gu Jiu said: "let's go, the lobby brother has his own fate."

……

In Songhe hall, the old lady Wei and his son's daughter-in-law are also discussing the marriage.

"Miss Zhou, you've all seen her. You can't tell her her talent and appearance. She's a first-class girl. Dalang has been guarding Jia's family for two years. It's time to marry another one. What do you two think? "

Old master Gu Zhiwen asked, "is the old lady satisfied with the girl of Zhou family?"

The old lady Wei Shi sighed, "our family owes to others. Things were not really done in those days. I didn't expect that the girl's marriage has not been settled. Since the Zhou family intends to renew the engagement, you may as well consider it. What's more, the advantages of older girls are that they know how to hurt people. "

This is implied that Jia will not hurt people, only play a small character.

The elder lady and the younger Wei Shi said, "the girl died and her father married again. It's not very good for such a family."

However, the old lady Wei Shi said, "when the old man dies, he becomes a house filling when he is married. Don't despise anyone. "

Master Gu Zhiwen said, "I don't know what kind of disposition this girl is? Don't be another Jia. "

The old lady Wei said, "the girl is very generous in her words and deeds. I think it's not bad. If you don't worry, I'll send for her. "

The elder lady and the younger Wei had no objection.

The family background of the Zhou family is there. There's no choice. It's a first-class family.

If Miss Zhou is really generous and decent, it is not impossible to renew the engagement.

The old lady Wei immediately arranged for someone to call Miss Zhou.

As a result, Gu Rui came to Songhe hall with Miss Zhou.

The first lady and the younger Wei's were suspicious. "How can you be together?"

Gu Rui explained: "my son had a chat with Miss Zhou."

Oh!

The older lady, the younger Wei, looked at Miss Zhou sharply.

Miss Zhou looks calm, not humble or arrogant, bearing extraordinary. She deserves to be the daughter of Zhou.

The old lady, Wei Shi, said happily, "what did you and Miss Zhou talk about?"

Gu Rui first looked at the eye week girl, then said: "I asked her how these come from? Do you hate our family? "

The faces of the people all changed.

Miss Zhou blessed herself and said, "at first it was hate. Seeing that the marriage date was approaching, he suddenly withdrew from the marriage. At that time, he was so sad that he didn't sleep well for several days. When people around me say some gossip, they always think that the reason why I quit marriage is because I'm not good, so I'm disliked. "

I've never hated you. I didn't expect that things would hurt you so much

Miss Zhou said with a wry smile, "can't you think of it, or don't want to think about it?"

Gu Rui was embarrassed for a moment. He was not unaware of the impact of his retirement on the reputation of the girl's family. As Miss Zhou said, he just didn't want to think about it.Miss Zhou went on to say: "later, her mother was seriously ill, and she had no heart to hate.

My mother had been thinking about my marriage all the time. But in Chuzhou, everyone knew that I had been divorced and could not say a good marriage for a while.

When my mother died, my marriage was not settled.

At the end of last year, my family began to arrange marriage for me. Chuzhou was hopeless, so he went to Beijing with his uncle and planned to find a marriage in the capital.

When I got to the capital, I learned that you were a widower and didn't even have a child. After Zhu Guogong's wife reminds, the family wants to renew the engagement

After hearing this, the old lady, Wei Shi, sighed, "I've been having trouble with you these years. It's because our family is not good, which has delayed your youth. "

Miss Zhou shook her head. "Don't say that, old lady. I can only say that Gu Rui and I have no predestination. This time my family proposed to renew the engagement. It was wishful thinking.

Don't be embarrassed or sympathize with me because my marriage has not yet been settled, so as to agree to my unreasonable request.

It's OK for me. With my family background and dowry, it's not difficult to find a suitable marriage. It's just a matter of time.

Today, you should have a door. If you have a chance in the future, the two families can continue to communicate with each other. "

Wei Shi, the old lady, said with emotion: "she is really a good girl. If we say, we don't feel sorry for you, but we really want to renew our engagement. Would you like to

Miss Zhou did not answer this question. She looked at Gu Rui and said, "would you like to ask him first, madam?"

Everyone's eyes look at Gu Rui.

"I..."

Gu Rui just opened his mouth, was interrupted by Miss Zhou, "I said, don't agree to this marriage just because of sympathy.

If you are not willing to marry me, please do not agree to this marriage.

Although I am old, I don't worry about getting married. I can find the right marriage, so you don't have any guilt, and don't marry me because of guilt.

I'd rather not have such a marriage. If I want to marry, I will marry a man who sincerely marries me and is willing to live with me all my life.

Instead of thinking about other women in my heart, I married my man just because I felt guilty. "

What he said made Gu Rui ashamed.

He is even inferior to a woman.

He said to Miss Zhou, "I'm sorry, I can't forget the moon. But I promise that if I marry you, I will treat you well and live with you all my life. "

"I'm sorry, I don't want to marry you like this."

A word that you don't want to marry makes everyone embarrassed.

Miss Zhou's demands are not excessive.

It's really Gu Rui who doesn't strive for success.

The eldest lady and the younger Wei family all thought that Miss Zhou was excellent. The eldest daughter-in-law of Hou's house should be such a woman with independent opinions and ideas. It's much better than Jia before.

However, his son did not strive for success, and he was persecuted by Jia for so many years. Now he has to miss the marriage.

She glared at the old master Gu Zhiwen and blamed you.

Gu Zhiwen was so confused that he blamed me.

The older lady, the younger Wei, lowered her voice and said, "if you hadn't retired, Miss Zhou would have been the daughter-in-law of our family. I blame you. "

Gu Zhiwen points to Gu Rui and blames the dead hearted son.

Hum!

Seeing that the good daughter-in-law was about to fly, the elder lady and the younger Wei Shi could not care about anything else. She said quickly, "Miss Zhou, don't rush to make a decision. My brother is honest. He says everything and never fooles people.

Only when he treats you sincerely will he admit that he will never forget Jia. And he and Jia's feelings for many years, so easy to forget, so lucky, I'm afraid you don't dare to marry.

When you get along with him, you will know that he is really good. Although he can't forget Jia Shi, he will also pay for you. "

Miss Zhou is a little tangled. She looks at Gu Rui.

Gu Rui is very affectionate. She can see it.

Unfortunately, Gu Rui's feelings are given to others, not to her.

She said with a bitter smile, "maybe Gu Rui and I are destined to have no predestination. Today, I will explain my family clearly. You don't have to be embarrassed. "

"No embarrassment, no embarrassment. We are happy to renew our engagement. " The big lady and the little Wei said anxiously.

She also glared at Gu Rui. Stupid son, you should say something quickly.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Rui said to Miss Zhou, "I'm the one who's responsible for you. I'm sorry for you. I want to marry you, not all guilt. When I first listened to you, I had a feeling that we should be together

Miss Zhou sneered, "I didn't expect Mr. Gu would coax the girl's house so much. If we had a chance to meet before retiring, would you change your mind not to quit? Can you give up Jia Mingyue? "

Gu Rui's face was embarrassed. "Things that have passed can't be repeated. I think we should focus on the present. "Miss Zhou looked at him with a smile. "Mr. Gu is right. People should look at the eyes. And what about you? Do you have eyes in front of you? Can you put Jia Mingyue at the bottom of your heart and open your heart again to accept another woman? If you can't, you are not qualified to persuade others to look at the present. "

Gu Rui looks dignified, he says heavily: "I can!"

A word I can, it's a surprise.

The old lady Wei Shi, the big lady and the little Wei Shi were simply surprised.

For more than a year, they tried to persuade Gu Rui to start again, but Gu Rui refused to listen. As long as you are in the mansion, you must cherish Jia's relics and never want to go out.

Unexpectedly, Miss Zhou's words made Gu Rui determined to start again.

Miss Zhou has the ability.

The key is that Miss Zhou looks good. She is very healthy at first sight. She will certainly have a good family in the future.

They were really scared by Jia.

In those years, they also broke their hearts because of Jia's family.
