Chapter 138 Decision (one more)

Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen had already boarded their carriage, and the carriage was still parked outside the door of the ceremony, waiting for Mrs. Gu Tai to go together.

In the car, the light is dim and the air is cold.

"Yanfei, warm your hands." Gu Yunzhen handed Gu Yanfei a small and exquisite pumpkin-shaped stove.

The warm stove was in Gu Yanfei's hand, and it was pressed directly to her heart through the skin.

In this Gu family, probably only the eldest sister would be so meticulous and thoughtful towards her.

As for Big Brother...

Big brother is not afraid of the cold, he never thought that the girl's family still needs something like a hand stove.

Gu Yanfei smiled involuntarily.

Gu Yanfei put the stove on his knees, poured tea for Gu Yunzhen himself, and handed the tea cup to her without hiding it, and said frankly:

"Big sister, Murong's house is not a good place to go."

"This marriage is not good."

As the crisp voice sounded, a faint scent of tea lingered on Gu Yunzhen's nose, refreshing and mellow, moisturizing Gu Yunzhen's heart like a spring rain.

Gu Yunzhen has become accustomed to Gu Yanfei's straightforward style, not only is he not surprised, on the contrary, he has a feeling that it is so, and even the haze buried deep in his heart has been dispelled a little.

She gently held Gu Yanfei's hand, her palm against hers, her eyebrows soft.

Of course she knew that Gu Yanfei came to Murong's house on purpose today, purely for herself, under the guise of old lady Murong, to help herself see Murong Yong's character.

She knew even more that Gu Yanfei was right.

but……

The picture in the warm pavilion just now flashed in his mind, Gu Yunzhen couldn't help but pursed the corners of his mouth, his chest heaved slightly, it seemed that he could suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart.

However, she has to think about her mother and her second sister.

If the grandmother knew that the second sister had encouraged her to break off the marriage, she would have been annoyed even more.

Over the years, the third room has been in an embarrassing situation in the Hou Mansion, and the long room is also half a catty.

The eldest uncle and aunt of the long house are gone, which means that the future of the eldest brother and the marriage of the second sister are all in the hands of the grandmother and the second uncle.

The eldest brother did not rely on the grace of his parents. He had been honed in the army for many years, and finally he was promoted to thousands of households in the Shenji camp. He was the only one who knew the blood and sweat of each. In the future, if the elder brother wants to gain a firm foothold, he also needs the help of his family.

Thinking, a trace of weakness and struggle slowly appeared in her dark and deep eyes...

Soon, she suppressed the negative emotions in her heart, smiled softly, and gently stroked the top of Gu Yanfei's head.

"Yan Fei, I will consider it carefully." She stared deeply into Gu Yanfei's eyes, without evading her, let her clear eyes directly hit her heart, and said sincerely, "Even if it is respectful to each other."

"In this world, many women come here like this, and I am no different from them."

Her voice was very rational and very calm.

From the day her father died, she was no longer a delicate flower in the conservatory. She wanted to protect herself and her mother.

"It's different." Gu Yanfei shook his head.

She flipped open a corner of the curtain, and the cold wind like a knife blew in through the gap, messing up the hair on Gu Yanfei's cheeks.

Gu Yanfei's eyes were sharper than the cold wind outside, and he was accurately directed towards the yard where Madam Murong was in the northwest.

This house is different.

Old Madam Murong had a dead aura as thick as ink, and a smell of corruption.

Gu Yanfei can almost conclude that people are already dead.

and also……

Gu Yanfei looked around again, the high walls around the mansion, the stone beasts squatting on the eaves, the dead old pines, the small dry pond, and the talismans pasted on the windows...

A suffocating aura pervaded the entire mansion.

In Taoist medicine, there is indeed a saying of "Chongxi".

In the last life, the Murong family did not observe filial piety, which means that Mrs. Murong survived.

The reason why Mrs. Murong was sick had nothing to do with external causes. She should have been sick at this moment in her past life and this life, so why did she survive in the last life?

The reason is about to come out.

There should be someone else who congratulated Murong Madam in the previous life.

Gu Yanfei raised her hand and tucked a few strands of tangled hair behind her ears, leaning lazily against the wall, not concealing her dislike, and snorted softly, "This mansion is really uncomfortable. "

She was about to lower the curtains when she saw Mrs. Gu Tai walking slowly towards this side.

The eyes of the grandfather and grandson met in mid-air, and looked at each other for a moment.

Mrs. Gu Tai's face flashed a hint of hesitation, and she stroked the fur on her cuffs. The steps under her feet did not stop, and she continued to walk in the direction of the carriage.

After talking with Mrs. Murong in the green gauze closet, she listened to the Murong family's steward, and learned about what happened in the warm pavilion, as well as that Gu Yunzhen and Gu Yanfei went to the ceremonial gate together.

Therefore, Mrs. Gu Tai didn't stay any longer, and directly offered her farewell.

Mrs. Murong did not reluctantly keep anyone, she only asked the steward to help her send one to Mrs. Gu Tai.

The steward was determined to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. She was so diligent and polite that she sent Mrs. Gu Tai to the black lacquer three carriages in front of her, and she never left.

The two carriages of the Gu family drove out of the alley where Murong's family was, and set off on their return journey.

At noon, Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen got off the carriage at the ceremonial gate of Gu's house.

Mrs. Wang came to hear the news. She arrived just at this time and said with a smile: "Mother, it's hard for you to take a trip."

Mrs. Wang walked over briskly, hugged Mrs. Gu's arm affectionately, and asked casually, "I wonder how the old lady of the Murong family's condition is?"

Gu Jian's warning sounded in Wang's ears, this marriage is beneficial to the Hou's residence, and nothing should go wrong.

Mrs. Wang was asking Mrs. Gu Tai, but Mrs. Gu Tai's eyes were on Gu Yanfei, and she called out in a gentle tone: "Yan Fei, what do you think?"

Mrs. Gu Tai's eyes shot like torches on Gu Yanfei's face.

"You can't live or die, everything has a certain fate." Gu Yanfei said casually, while rubbing his fingers on the pumpkin-shaped hand stove.

Few words, which seemed unfathomable.

The surroundings were silent for a moment.

Mrs. Gu Tai's graceful face visibly sank, and the corners of her eyes twitched.

This girl is playing tricks again!

Mrs. Gu Tai had something in her heart, so she was too lazy to talk to Gu Yanfei, so she casually said, "Go back."

She turned to Gu Yunzhen and said, "Sister Zhen, follow me to Cihetang."

As soon as Gu Yanfei turned around, she saw a yellow, white and black figure flashing in front of her. The three-flowered cat that ran from nowhere flew down from the top of the carriage and stopped steadily on her shoulder. Where did she go to play with the cat on her back.

Mrs. Gu Tai also heard the cat meowing later, her heart beat uncomfortably, and her eyebrows were furrowed.

Until she sat down in Cihetang, she still frowned.

All the people in the east and second rooms were sent back. The grandfather and grandson sat side by side on the kang, Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Wang sat at the bottom, and only Mrs. Li was left in the room to wait on the side.

Mrs. Gu Tai drank two sips of tea, and after she recovered, she regained her spirits and started the conversation: "Sister, I heard about the garden."

She patted Gu Yunzhen's hand soothingly, with a gentle and loving tone, "Mrs. Murong has already told me that she is my cousin, and after the new year, she will marry off with a deputy dowry."

Gu Yunzhen's eyelashes were half drooping, looking at Mrs. Gu Tai's well-maintained hand.

Although the man is old, his hands are still fair and delicate. A string of red sandalwood Buddha beads is wrapped around his hands. When he patted it on the back of Gu Yunzhen's hand, the beads are actually a bit rough, leaving a small red mark on the girl's delicate skin. .

Mrs. Gu Tai patted Gu Yunzhen again with her hand wrapped around the string of Buddhist beads, and persuaded earnestly: "You, don't always follow Gu Yanfei crazy, she has no father or mother, and her future is unpredictable, she has no worries, But you are different, you have a great future. This is a good day, but why do you need to be strong, and you will be bloody!"

"Mrs. Murong values ​​you very much, and said a lot of good things about you in front of me today..."

“…”

Mrs. Gu Tai kept talking non-stop, and she felt annoyed every time she thought about the troubles in the house since Gu Yanfei returned to the mansion.

Gu Yunzhen sat on the kang with Mrs. Tai's arm upright, with a graceful orchid figure, dignified and virtuous.

Although Wang's family didn't know what happened in Murong Mansion, he could guess seventy-eighty-eight from the words of Mrs. Tai. To put it in a nasty way, things about cousins ​​and cousins ​​are not uncommon in the prefectures.

Wang's interface also persuaded Gu Yunzhen: "Sister Zhen, such a good marriage can be met but not asked. Your grandmother will not harm you."

Gu Yunzhen didn't react at all, just sat motionless, half-drooping his eyes, pursing his lips, and said nothing.

Looking at Gu Yunzhen's look of a stuffy oil bottle, Mrs. Gu Tai felt a little sullen, the corners of her eyes jumped slightly, and she secretly said: This big girl's temper is not as likable as her sister-in-law.

Mrs. Tai stroked the red sandalwood buddha beads in her hand, and said indifferently with the elder's lofty tone: "Just now I have promised Mrs. Murong, and the marriage will be set a year ago."

"..." Gu Yunzhen finally had some reaction, lifted his eyelids and looked up at Mrs. Gu Tai.

Today is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is less than four days before the Chinese New Year.

Even the Wang family was surprised, this was too urgent, I was afraid that even the dowry would not be ready in time.

However, Gu Yunzhen will get married sooner or later, that is, a few days in advance.

"True sister, grandmother is for your own good." Mrs. Gu Tai's eyes had a hint of impatience in her eyes, but her face was still kind, and the silver inlaid jade earrings on her earlobes shone with brilliance.

"This time, you married into the Murong family to save Ayong's grandmother, which is kind to the Murong family. No matter whether the old lady can get better this time, the Murong family will never treat you badly in the future, and will remember your goodness. !"

She seemed to be persuading her, but in fact, her words were already strong and unquestionable.

Mrs. Wang nodded again and again, and sang along with Mrs. Tai: "A little grievance you are suffering now will also be a blessing for you in the future."

"For a young and promising man like Second Young Master Murong, I can't find a second man in the entire capital!"

Wang trumpeted Murong Yong into a hype, but Gu Yunzhen was always calm, even when he heard the wedding date, he just moved his eyelids, and there was no turbulence in his eyes.

She has already thought about it and has made a decision.
