Gu Jiayue, a 30-year-old senior teacher, died suddenly at her desk from staying up late to write lesson plans. When she woke up again, she found herself to be the Marquis's daughter in the Grea...
Chapter 134 I want a man, and I only like women
Hearing him shouting such a private matter, Grandma Gu was so scared that she quickly tried to cover Gu Yuchuan's mouth.
But he was a grown man, almost 1.80 meters tall. When Granny Gu stood up, she couldn't even reach his shoulders. How could she possibly cover his mouth? Plus, he was jumping around so much that Granny Gu couldn't even catch up.
"Oh, it's time to get married and have a feast." Gu Yuchuan excitedly circled around Gu Jiayue. "Bride, cover yourself with the quilt and sleep in the red tent tonight."
I don't know where he learned these rhymes from.
Gu Jiayue was speechless and embarrassed.
She thought, this body is only sixteen years old, why is it going to get married?
But think about it, this is ancient times, and it is normal to get married after reaching the age of 15.
It is not uncommon for cruel families to marry off their daughters at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Even worse, some girls are sold as child brides at the age of seven or eight.
Isn’t her eldest cousin the same age as her, but isn’t she also going to get married at the end of the year?
Her influence was insignificant and she couldn't change the larger environment. All she could do was teach by example and slowly change the people around her.
"Grandma, you don't have to worry about my marriage. I have my own plans." Gu Jiayue hesitated for a moment and decided to talk to her family.
If we can't reach an agreement, let's talk about the things that can't be reached.
Grandma Gu originally wanted to just wait and see, because her granddaughter was so amazing that she couldn't find anyone who was a match for her in the surrounding area.
She searched slowly first, and only let Jiayue go to see it after she found it.
As a result, he was yelled at by this kid Gu Yuchuan.
Since that was the case, Grandma Gu didn't hide it anymore. While inviting everyone to eat, she asked Jiayue to sit next to her. "Then tell me what kind of girl you like so that I can find one for you."
Gu Jiayue almost choked. She didn't expect her grandmother to be so direct and ask her about her ideal type right away.
She hadn't thought about this question in two lifetimes. In her last life, she was busy living, and in this life, she was busy surviving. She had no time to think about it.
So when she suddenly asked her to say this, she really couldn't put it into words.
After thinking for a long time, he said, "A man, and he only likes women."
This time it was Grandma Gu's turn to choke.
The whole family quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks, some patted each other on the back, and some poured water.
Gu Jiayue, the instigator, looked guilty. She was telling the truth. These two points are hard indicators in modern times.
Grandma Gu finally calmed down and looked at Gu Jiayue, who had a calm face, speechlessly.
Oh, never mind. She's still a girl who doesn't understand the ways of the world.
This matter still depends on this old woman.
“Eat, eat!”
Grandma Gu had spoken, and no one in the family dared to disobey. Although everyone wanted to continue gossiping, Grandma Gu's prestige was too great, so everyone had no choice but to obey.
Gu Jiayue also ate. But thinking of Zheng Yunxi, she could only speak. "By the way, a friend of mine is going back to Kyoto in three days. Is there anything you guys need to bring to Wangshu?"
Gu Wangshu, these three words have not been mentioned by the Gu family in Taohua Village for a long time.
Don't you want to? How could it be possible? For sixteen years, this small farmyard had been filled with her figure, making it difficult not to want to see her.
But if I mention it often, how can I get rid of the ever-deepening longing?
So I can only not mention it, not say it, pretend not to think about it, and not think about it.
Li Juhua was the most excited, her hand holding the chopsticks trembling. "Then... is it convenient? Will it bother your friends?"
"No, she's a good friend of mine from my time in Kyoto. She's also close to the Marquis' Mansion. It's no problem for her to bring some things with her."
When Gu Jiayue said this, Li Juhua quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks. "I made a set of clothes for Wangshu when I had some free time recently. I'll go get it right away."
She took two steps, then sat down again as if remembering something. "Forget it. I'm not good at sewing, and the fabric I used is not good either. Wangshu is now a daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. If she wore such clothes, she would be laughed at."
Everyone who was originally excited suddenly became cold after hearing what Li Juhua said.
Yes, Wangshu is now the daughter of a marquis. Would she still be interested in these things from their family?
Even if she doesn't mind, if those nobles see it, will they dislike her and cause her trouble?
Gu Zhi wanted to cry even more. "I even made several purses for Sister Wangshu."
Gu Bailu did the same. "I made her a handkerchief and knitted a brooch."
The two little girls and Gu Yuhe were raised by their older sisters, Gu Wangshu and Gu Chunyan, so they have a deeper affection for Wangshu.
The two little girls only said this one sentence, then lowered their heads and began to cry silently.
The tears fell into the bowl silently.
Gu Jiayue sighed. This whole family... always thinking about others.
"You've raised Wangshu for so many years, don't you know what kind of person she is? You only think that the things you prepared are not good and cheap. But why don't you think about whether she is also looking forward to receiving your things in Kyoto?"
"She told me that you will always be her family and she will come back to see you when she has the chance."
"Look at the clothes, handkerchiefs, and Luozi you prepared. They are all made by hand. They are full of love and cannot be measured by price. Hey, do you know what I prepared for the Marquis?"
Gu Jiayue's words successfully comforted the Gu family and also attracted everyone's attention.
"Yeah, how scared must Sister Wangshu be, being alone in Kyoto?"
"That's right, Sister Wangshu is so nice, she won't think our things are cheap."
"You clever girl, tell me what you have prepared for the Marquis?" Grandma Gu smiled and slapped the back of Gu Jiayue's hand, but it didn't hurt at all.
Gu Jiayue wanted to laugh when she thought about what she was going to say next.
"Haha, I prepared a piece of firewood taller than me for the Marquis," she then told the story of how the Marquis had tried to keep her that day, causing everyone to laugh.
Grandma Gu laughed so hard she fell backward. "You naughty boy! The Marquis really cares about you. But you act like a heartless person and even specially prepared a piece of firewood and brought it back from afar."
"Okay, let's eat quickly. After you finish eating, if there's anything you want to bring to Wangshu, prepare it and let Jiayue take it to her friends."
Everyone ate obediently, but they were thinking about what to prepare for Wangshu.
After dinner, everyone started to clean up the dishes.
There is strength in numbers, and we will clean it up in no time.
Li Juhua returned to her room, opened the closet, and pulled out a set of folded clothes. "Wangshu hasn't had a good day in our family. In sixteen years, she hasn't worn a single new piece of clothing. When she was little, she wore Chunyan's, and when she grew up, she wore mine. So I thought of making her a brand new set of clothes, clothes that no one else had worn, clothes that belonged just to her."
She stroked the clothes in her hands and muttered about her thoughts when making this dress.
Gu Jiayue took the clothes and said, "I think Wangshu will like it because it has a feminine smell."
She recalled that when she was little, she always slept with a piece of clothing in her arms, and her grandmother would not let go no matter what she said, because it had her mother's scent on it.
Later, as time went by, the smell of her mother on the clothes dissipated, and her mother became someone else's.
She no longer likes to sleep with something in her arms.
Then my grandma passed away and I was taken to the city to live with my dad. I started embracing my pillow again when I slept because it smelled like my grandma.
Later, the stepmother disliked the pillow because it was dirty, so she threw it away after going to school.
She could no longer find the taste of her grandmother, so she chose to live in the school dormitory and leave the place that was not her home.
"You, you and Wangshu are both good children. I hope you will live a peaceful life." Li Juhua looked at Gu Jiayue with satisfaction, expressing a mother's greatest wish.
"Yes, we will be fine." She hugged Li Juhua, as if she smelled the scent she longed for but could not keep in her childhood.
