"Everyone is here today to witness that Miss Shi and I are in love. To be fair, I am indeed not as good as the young master of the Xie family chosen by Uncle Shi, but I, Gu Zheqi, am by no means a freeloader."
"Today, I will express my position in front of you. Within three years, I will definitely do something great! I also hope that Uncle Shi can give me and Miss Shi a chance, instead of just focusing on family background."
Everyone who came to the banquet today knew what was going on. Looking at the entire audience, although everyone was wearing silk and satin, it could be seen that most of them belonged to the Shi family. Come, it's just that I don't have the guts to refuse, for fear of getting into trouble.
Now that Gu Zheqi had finished speaking, everyone on the seats looked at each other in silence.
It's funny who would set the time for such a day at noon. When the Ming matchmaker is getting married, the time is always in the evening, when the sun sets.
It was obvious that Master Shi did not agree with this marriage, otherwise he would not have forced Miss Shi to book a noon banquet.
Hey, I don’t know what kind of enchanting soup Gu Zheqi gave to the young lady at this time. How can the so-called important matter of marriage, the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, be like this?
Even so, I can only think about these words in my heart. Mr. Shi's wife died young. Although there were many concubines and several sons in the family, Miss Shi was the only one who was really on the stage. Mr. Shi was thinking about her.
Hearing Gu Zheqi's words, Shi Yuyan was extremely moved.
But the original words are obviously not like this!
Seeing the infatuated Shi Yuyan and Shi Qiusheng who wanted to get angry but kept holding back because they were in front of everyone, Gu Jiu suddenly felt that an opportunity had come.
Gu Zheqi, who was looking here, naturally saw Gu Jiu. When he saw the other person leaving his position, he felt an unexpected worry in his heart.
"Uncle Shi, I wonder what you think?" Gu Zheqi asked.
Shit, Shi Qiu was so angry that he wanted to curse.
If you were really talented, would you be able to pass the exam just now? Achievements in three years? I bother!
Don’t you have the nerve to do things in my daughter’s honor!
Shi Qiu was so angry that his teeth itched, agree, that is simply impossible, Yuyan is his and Qingmei's child, he promised that his wife would make Yuyan happy for the rest of her life; don't agree, I'm also afraid that I will fall into a situation where I only care about money and don't care about my daughter's reputation. If someone with intentions uses it to make a fuss again, I'm afraid it will have a big impact.
Seeing the eyes of everyone looking over, Shi Qiusheng suddenly became one head and two heads tall. With his daughter's urging, his mind suddenly became a mess.
"father!"
When Shi Yuyan urged again, Shi Qiusheng's patience was completely exhausted.
"Someone, take the lady upstairs!"
Isn't he just Gu Zheqi? The worst thing is to just do it all in one go! If Yuyan wants to blame...just blame it, it's better than suffering for the rest of her life!
"If I don't go up, you all go away from me! Dad, please speak quickly. After you finish speaking, everyone can eat!" Shi Yuyan persisted and was bound to hear the promise from Shi Qiusheng's mouth.
Shi Qiu was so angry that his eyebrows trembled.
Gu Zheqi, Gu Zheqi, OK! Then he will agree today and kill him when he gets out of this door!
Just when Shi Qiusheng was about to speak, Gu Jiu walked up to Shi Yuyan.
"Miss, why can't you understand? Mr. Shi just wants to let go. After all, there are differences between men and women. What are you going to say if you stay here?" Gu Jiu lowered his voice.
When she heard this, Yu Yan was startled, looked at Gu Jiu doubtfully, and asked, "Really?"
Gu Jiu nodded, and Shi Yuyan hesitated and nodded.
Then he and Gu Jiu walked upstairs amidst an apology that the lady was not feeling well and wanted to go upstairs to rest for a while.
Gu Zheqi was stunned and was about to walk over. He dared to talk nonsense to Shi Qiusheng here now only because of Shi Yuyan. What would he do if she left?
"Yu Yan! Yu..."
"Master Gu, it's better to be quiet for a while."
Shi Qiusheng scolded in a low voice, and then followed him upstairs.
"Gu Jiu, is this really okay? My father..."
"No problem!" When Gu Jiu stopped him, he confirmed what he said next: "Don't worry, you can go down after your father has finished explaining and discussing it. And considering... my cousin's character and... Judging from the way things are done, your father has definitely agreed by then!"
"That's good." Shi Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight smile on her face: "Aqi also told me to stay away from you. I think he is just a little prejudiced against you. You don't know that this is the first time I met you. When I first saw you, I thought you were an eccentric person, and you looked like a good person at first glance!"
"Miss Shi is also the most special person I have ever seen."
"real?"
"Yeah." I have never seen anyone simpler than you at your age in my two lives.
After comforting Shi Yuyan, Gu Jiu went out, and Shi Qiusheng was indeed outside.
What's more important is that not only the people are outside, but the money is also there.
"Tell me, what can you do?"
Gu Jiu flipped the coin and said, "Come down."
"Master, if I want to accept it, do I need to delay it until now?" Shi Qiusheng shouted in a low voice.
"You can make requests, for example: three years is too long. You love your daughter very much and don't want your daughter to waste such a long time. If Gu Zheqi truly loves her, then he should show some sincerity."
"For example?"
"Become a teacher of Summit Academy on your own within a year. If you can't, you will never be able to step into Cloud City."
Hearing this, Shi Qiusheng immediately laughed: "Wonderful, such a simple truth, why didn't I think of it just now? I'm so obsessed with the authorities! I almost got led away by that kid! In this way, this time It's also Gu Zheqi's problem that the two of them can't be together."
"Master, what if Gu Zheqi really did it?" Liu Dong asked from the side.
"Do it?" Shi Qiusheng smiled sarcastically: "Judging from Gu Zheqi's diligence, talent and family background, even if I don't interfere, he won't be able to do it! If he really does it, then it doesn't matter if he agrees. "
When Gu Zheqi heard this request, he refused without thinking.
Just now, Yuyan told him that she wanted him to become a teacher in the academy, but she said she wanted him to become a teacher within three years. Three years was enough for him to improve his family's foundation, but one year was not enough.
"Uncle Shi, isn't this trying to force others to do something difficult? It took almost two years for the fastest senior from the establishment of Summit Academy to this day. How could I possibly do it in only one year!"
"Why not?" Shi Qiusheng retorted: "It took that man one year and three months. As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Each wave is stronger than the last! What's the problem for you being three months ahead of him?"
"Besides, you are marrying my daughter across classes. If you don't have any skills, how dare I, the father, give you my Yuyan?" After saying that, Shi Qiusheng looked at everyone and continued: "Everyone, I am Qiu Sheng said this today, as long as Gu Zheqi can become the teacher of Summit Academy by his own ability within a year, then I will agree to this marriage. Of course, if you achieve it, you will have a promise, and if you lose, you will have it! "
After speaking, he looked at Gu Zheqi again.
"Gu Zheqi, if you fail to do it, you will not be allowed to set foot in Yuncheng again in this life!"
"If you agree, we will sign and stamp the certificate immediately!"
Seeing that Zheqi had no intention of agreeing, Shi Qiusheng immediately asked people to go and Shi Yuyan shouted down.
Wait for the others to come down and explain the matter clearly before Gu Zheqi opens his mouth.
Hearing this, Shi Yuyan looked at Gu Zheqi in confusion: "Then, why doesn't A Qi agree? Although the fastest person in the academy took one year and three months, in fact, that senior was weak and spent every year I am sick half the time, so it only lasts about half a year. A Qi is so smart, one year is definitely enough!"
Gu Zheqi was speechless, with a slight irritation on his face: "Then what if I can't do it? Our long-term relationship will not count? In that case, I would rather never be a gentleman in the academy in this life. Yu Yan, I I always thought you were different!”
"Aqi, that's not what I meant, I just..."
Hearing Gu Zheqi's words, Shi Yuyan subconsciously hurriedly explained.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu sighed silently in his heart: Among other things, Gu Zheqi had a good way of handling people. He could shake the pot as cleanly as he wanted.
"I just hope you can understand Miss Shi in turn." Gu Jiu interrupted Shi Yuyan and continued.
Facing Gu Zheqi's resentful eyes, Gu Jiu further defended his benefactor: "Miss Shi has sacrificed countless things for you. Just for this banquet, for you, Miss Shi did not hesitate to put down her dignity and host it at noon." . But the feelings are mutual, and it is impossible for Miss Shi to be the only one giving up all the time, so I hope that as a man, you can make progress and contribute to the future of you and Miss Shi."
"Oh, what's the business of you here? Gu Jiu, don't think too highly of yourself. If it weren't for me, do you think you could come into a place like this?"
"Yes." Gu Jiu immediately pointed at Shi Qiusheng: "I have cooperated with Mr. Shi before, so we can be considered acquaintances after all. Although I am not qualified to sit down and eat, I can still help run errands."
"It's just that now it's not my problem, but yours!"
Gu Jiu pointed to the paper that had been prepared next to him and said: "If you agree, everyone can eat immediately after the signature painting is postponed."
"That's right." After speaking, Shi Qiusheng looked at Shi Yuyan and continued: "Daughter, can you see this person clearly now? Dad has already said that there is something wrong with his character. A person who is not willing to sacrifice anything for you, you What blessings can you get by marrying him! If you don’t live well, how can your father be worthy of your mother!"
"I..." Shi Yuyan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. She is just naive and has some love brain, but she is not stupid.
Although she still couldn't realize that Gu Zheqi was lying to her, she also realized that she and Gu Zheqi didn't seem to be that suitable. It's not easy for her father to raise her, and she really can't take care of herself.
"Aqi..."
"You don't have to say anything, I promise. I can promise anything for you."
