Chapter 281 (1/2)

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?”
