Gu Xianting looked at Fu Xie intently and said word by word: "I like this young master very much, I like him very much, and I really want to marry him."
Xie Fu felt like he was being shocked by electricity. Yes, with her temperament, how could she be willing to marry her if she didn't want to.
It turned out that it was all wishful thinking on her part. She was a good woman who valued love and justice. Everything she did was just to repay her kindness, but he regarded her repayment as affection.
That's all, this will make me give up.
Gu Xianting really looked forward to what Xie Fu could say. Is it okay to just watch her get married without saying anything about staying, and feel a little reluctant to let go.
Xie Fu had a drink and said loudly: "Since Miss Gu likes Zhongyi, that's really gratifying, haha..."
Xie Fu's words made Gu Xianting almost despair. She was shaking with anger. She picked up the wine glass and put down her harsh words: "Sir, after we say goodbye, I will be someone else's wife."
After Gu Xianting drank a glass, he filled another glass, but this glass spilled a line of water on the table, indicating that from now on, I am a woman, and you and I are different.
Yes, from now on, you are someone else's wife. I can no longer teach you Miss Gu. You should be called Mrs. So-and-so.
Xie Fu didn't know when Gu Xianting left. He drank one glass after another, intending to use wine to eliminate the sadness and pain in his heart.
Although he experienced some setbacks in love, those women still loved him in the final analysis.
But this time, he thought that the choice was in his own hands, whether to ask for it or not.
But little did he know that he had no choice at all. He had no chance from the beginning. They just regarded him as a friend and they were just repaying their kindness.
Probably because he had hurt the hearts of too many women, Gu Xianting, as a representative of women, came to retaliate against him and hurt him.
You deserve it, you deserve it...
Thank you, you should also taste this heartbreak...
…
Seeing the young lady approaching, Xiu'er hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Miss, is he crazy about happiness?"
The master wrote back and said that he was going to Xie's house to discuss the marriage between the two families, and asked the young lady to go home quickly.
Lover and concubine, with ancestors as matchmakers, it was a match made in heaven.
Qiao Xiu'er felt that it was destined, and Qiao Xiu'er felt that Yue Lao had already connected the two of them.
Suddenly I noticed that the young lady lowered her head and said nothing.
Gu Xianting raised his head and called "Xiu'er", his red eyes bursting with tears.
Xiu'er was surprised: "Miss, what's wrong? What happened?"
Seeing that the lady didn't answer, Xiu'er became extremely anxious: "Have you told him?"
Gu Xianting shook his head.
"Why don't you tell him?"
Gu Xianting didn't say a word, but his tears kept flowing like a stream.
Xiu'er was anxious: "Miss, you should speak up."
Gu Xianting took a deep breath, held his nose and said, "I just said I was getting married, and he said congratulations!"
"What!"
Xiuer was furious and wanted to go to Xie Fu to settle the score.
Gu Xianting quickly grabbed Xiu'er: "Don't go!"
Xiu'er said angrily: "No, I must ask her clearly and clearly."
"Xiu'er, don't go, I'm afraid!"
"Miss, there is nothing to be afraid of, you have never been afraid!"
"I'm afraid that if he finds out, he will break off the engagement immediately."
Xiu'er blurted out: "That's unreasonable, it's nonsense!"
Gu Xianting sobbed and said: "Even if he doesn't like me, I just want to marry him anyway. After marrying him, I will slowly make him like me."
Xiuer asked: "Does he deserve it? Does he deserve it?"
Gu Xianting didn't know what to say. His mind was in a mess at the moment, and he wanted to die...
…
Xie Fu came home drunk. He had not been so drunk for a long time. This time he wanted to be really drunk, but he couldn't.
Just now, Butler Kong came to the door and said, "Sir, Uncle Xie is here."
Xie Fu blurted out and asked: "Which Uncle Xie?"
"Your brother, thank you sir."
Hearing his brother's arrival, Xie Fu immediately cheered up and walked quickly to the hall.
The thank you gift came, and Tantai Heqing originally received it in person, but she still needed to stay in bed to recuperate, so it was inconvenient to receive her.
Xie Li, who was sitting in the hall, saw Fu Xie coming back drunk, and immediately frowned, wondering why his old habit had happened again.
Instead, he cherished his cousin as before and stepped forward to help him: "How could I have drunk so much in broad daylight and come back with such virtue?"
Xie Fu was embarrassed and changed the subject: "Brother, why are you here?"
Xie Li helped Xie Fu sit down and said, "I've been thinking about it these days, but I've been too busy to get away, but today I have something important to discuss with you."
Xie Fu asked: "What happened?"
The thank you was not in a hurry, but asked with concern: "When I came, the servants said that He Qing was ill and was in bed to recuperate, but is it more important?"
"I'm overworked. A few more days of rest will be fine."
But it is not convenient for He Qing to talk about her pregnancy before marriage.
Xie Li frowned again when he heard this. Your fiancée is too busy and overworked. It's good for you as a fiancé to have the leisure to go out and drink drunk.
He said meaningfully: "Fu, you are lucky to be able to marry He Qing, but you can no longer be careless like a child. You have a family and you must be responsible as a husband."
Xie Fu was actually very busy these days. It happened that his brother caught him today because he was sad and drunk. He couldn't explain much, so he just took his brother's words as instructions.
After finishing the gossip, Xie Li got down to business and said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you this time."
Xie Fu said in surprise: "Brother, where are you going? Will you be transferred?"
Xie Li smiled and said: "I have taken up the post of Zuo Sigong, and I haven't even started to feel hot yet. How could I be transferred so quickly? Grandpa asked someone to send me a quick message, asking me to go home immediately. I have already asked for leave from my boss. , come and say hello to you, and then you can set off."
Xie Fu was very concerned and asked: "In such a hurry, what happened at home?"
"Grandpa said in the letter that he couldn't go into details and just asked me to go back as soon as possible."
Xie Fu said in a deep voice: "Brother, if something happens at home, you must not hide it from me. Even though I have been expelled from the clan, you will always be my brother, and grandpa will always be my grandpa."
Thank you and nodded: "Last time I wrote home to announce the good news that I have become an official, and I mentioned it to you by the way."
Xie Fu immediately asked: "Grandpa, what's your attitude?"
"Grandpa didn't reply. This time when I go back, I will explain your matter to Grandpa face to face."
Xie Fu nodded.
Seeing that Fu Xie was a little nervous and worried, Xie Li smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's been so long, no matter how angry you are, you've already dissipated."
…
Chengxiang Lane, Zicheng District, Yangzhou.
The Zicheng is built on Shugang. It was built on the basis of Guangling City in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Jiangdu Palace City in the Sui Dynasty. It is now the area where government offices are concentrated.
Chengxiangli is a group of aristocratic mansions centered on the Chengxiang Hall of Emperor Yang of the former Sui Dynasty.
The direct descendants of the Xie family in Kuaiji settled here.
The grand and spacious Xie Mansion opened two thick red doors, which was also the last stubbornness of this down-and-out family member.
The stubborn ones include the old man with gray hair on his temples who stands motionless among the fallen leaves in late autumn.
This old man is Xie Guangde, the head of the Xie family in Kuaiji.
Or it may be a happy event. Xie Guangde is in high spirits these days and his face is full of glory.
In front of the door, there is an old servant bending over and cleaning the fallen leaves in front of the door. This old servant is Uncle Quan, the steward of the Xie Mansion.
As time went by, this old servant who had followed Xie Guangde for decades was getting older, his waist was slightly bent, and his hands that swept the fallen leaves were no longer so neat.
Apart from this old servant, there are no other servants in the entire Xie Mansion, so this kind of sweeping task also requires him, a dignified butler, to do it.
No one has even cleaned the fallen leaves in the courtyard. What will others think when they see it? The master has been protecting the Xie family's appearance everywhere. He, an old servant, should follow the master.
"Master, your letter has only been sent a few days ago. How could the young master come back so soon?"
Xie Guangde responded: "I know Li'er. When he receives the letter, he will rush back without stopping no matter where he is. It's not like someone who is just doing nothing, succeeding more than failing..."
Xie Guangde said, "I'm holding back. Why did my old habit come back again?" He started talking about this unfilial grandson again. Speaking of it, this unfilial grandson has been away for more than three years. He is young and strong, and he has hands and feet. He shouldn't be hungry in these years... …
Ting Li'er said in the letter that he seemed to have found a young lady from a wealthy family to be his fiancée. Well, a decent man has disgraced my Xie family with his handsome face...
Butler Quan Bo said: "Master, do you miss the second young master?"
Xie Guangde's face darkened when he heard this: "What do I want him to do? If I see him again, I will..."
But he couldn't bear to say the cruel words behind him.
Uncle Quan said softly: "Master, if you think about it carefully, the second young master is not bad. Take me as an example. I have a very bad attitude towards him. Every time he meets me, he still smiles and treats me with courtesy. This is what this person is like." It’s strange, I feel disgusted when I see it, but I miss it very much when I can’t see it.”
As Uncle Quan said that, he turned around and looked at the deserted mansion. He seemed to hear the second young master's loud begging for mercy. It was still very lively at that time...
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The second young master was quite clever. Every time he was beaten, the master didn't hit hard, but he screamed loudly...
The desolation of late autumn made two people entering their old age extremely suspicious of the past.
Suddenly they heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, interrupting their thoughts. They looked and saw a fast horse galloping towards the door of Xie's mansion.
Falling off the horse was the thank you for coming back after a long journey. The thank you stepped forward and held Xie Guangde's hands: "Grandpa, please call me back quickly. What happened at home?"
Xie Guangde smiled and said: "It's okay, you don't have to be nervous." As he said that, he looked behind Xie Li, as if expecting someone to appear.
Seeing Grandpa's expression, Xie Li smiled and said, "Grandpa, Fu hasn't come back."
Xie Guangde's face turned cold: "He has been expelled from the clan, is he still eligible to come back?"
Xie Li knew that his grandfather was a tough talker and had a good reputation, so he smiled and said nothing, thinking to himself that it seemed that Fu's return to the family was half done.
"Grandpa, what's the emergency?"
Xie Guangde smiled and said: "A good thing, a great good thing, a good thing that can make me happy and not sleep for three days and three nights."
Xie Li made a curious sound.
When mentioning this matter, Xie Guangde's old face smiled like a cracked persimmon, "Li'er, this is a good thing you can never imagine."
