"Miao Miao, tell me honestly, do you like my brother?" Tang Li said, "We are friends, so just tell me as a friend."
Fang Miao looked at Tang Li and saw that she looked serious.
Fang Miao had been suppressing her excitement in her heart and didn't dare to tell anyone. If even her mother knew about this, she would say she was dreaming and crazy.
But she really likes Lord Gu, she likes him very much.
Actually, she didn't know where this feeling came from. Perhaps she fell in love with him the first time she saw him in the Dali Temple. Every time she saw him, she was happy. However, the disparity in their social status forced her to hide her love deep in her heart.
She could actually foresee the ending. With Lord Gu's status and position, he would definitely marry a rich lady in the future, live in harmony with her, and grow old together.
Thinking of this, Fang Miao felt empty inside.
In fact, it is very uncomfortable to keep things in your heart. Everyone wants to talk, but Fang Miao had no one to talk to before.
She looked at Tangli and said, "You are not allowed to tell anyone."
"Well, I won't tell you." Tang Li said.
Fang Miao blushed and nodded: "I like it."
"But you must not tell Lord Gu that he is from a military family and is the Minister of the Supreme Court, while I was born a commoner and am a coroner..." The gap between their family backgrounds and status is too huge, it is an insurmountable gap.
"Identity is not a problem. As long as you like my brother and my brother likes you, you can be together." Tang Li said.
Tang Li knew how serious the concept of family background was in this era, but Fang Miao was different from her brother.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. Her brother was in such a difficult situation, with all his relatives and friends away, and only Fang Miao was taking care of him...
This true love is enough to transcend family background.
Fang Miao was shocked by Tang Li's theory.
Is there something wrong with her ears, or is Tangli crazy?
Family background is not important?!
"Master Gu...he doesn't...like...me." Fang Miao stammered.
"Why don't you try it and find out whether you like it or not?" Tang Li said.
Fang Miao's eyes widened.
Try...how to try this?
"You can meet with my brother, either at the Dali Temple or at a restaurant, have a meal together and talk about things other than official business." Tang Li said.
The atmosphere in the Great Zhou Dynasty was open, and unmarried men and women could meet each other, which was actually equivalent to a blind date.
However, Fang Miao thought about sitting down to eat with Master Gu. This was too...
Fang Miao was extremely shy, but at the same time, she felt a faint sense of anticipation in her heart.
Her heart was pounding, what if Lord Gu really liked her?
She was lucky to meet Tang Li, a friend who helped her and did not look down on her. What was even more coincidental was that Tang Li was actually Lord Gu's sister. This kind of luck fell on her.
What if luck strikes her again?
Fang Miao mustered up her courage and looked at Tang Li.
"OK."
"Well, I'll go back and see when my brother is free. I'll tell you when the time is set." Tang Li said.
After Tang Li left, Fang Miao could no longer read the book.
She covered her burning face and looked up at the sky.
The sky is so blue. I wonder when Tangli will set the time.
…
After Tangli left the Fang family, he returned to the Gu family.
Her mother is still worried about her brother's marriage.
"Many portraits of young ladies of marriageable age have been sent here, but your eldest brother has been perfunctory in looking at them." Madam Gu sighed softly, "What kind of women does he like? How can I not see through him?"
What Mrs. Gu was actually afraid of was that Huai Nian would never want to get married in his life. Seeing how passionate he was about solving cases, he had absolutely no interest in his children's affairs.
Who doesn’t want to have many children and grandchildren?
During this period, Mrs. Gu occasionally couldn't sleep. It was not because of her illness, but because she was worried!
"Mom, I have a candidate for sister-in-law." Tang Li said.
Mrs. Gu's eyes lit up: "Which girl? Do you have a portrait?"
"She is not a noble lady, but an ordinary woman." Tang Li said.
Tang Li has no concept of family background and thinks Fang Miao is a good person who values love and friendship. However, her mother was born in this era and must be bound by the ideas and concepts of this era, so she has to explain it clearly and convince her first.
"An ordinary woman..."
"She's a coroner!"
"Coroner?" Mrs. Gu frowned even more tightly.
In her heart, her son was naturally the best, and she wanted to marry him off with a virtuous and well-matched girl. But this commoner woman was a coroner...
At first glance, it seems like they are not a good match.
"I asked my brother last time, and he said he wanted to find someone with whom he could share common topics. Is there anyone among these noble ladies who is interested in cases involving the deceased? That girl is a coroner, so she'll be able to chat with my brother. Besides, mother, being a coroner isn't some shameful profession. It's a very powerful profession, solving unjust cases and seeking justice for the deceased!"
This was the first time Mrs. Gu heard that the coroner was so capable of seeking justice for the deceased.
But, thinking about it, what her daughter said was indeed right.
If there were coroners, there wouldn’t be so many people dying in vain.
Mrs. Gu's impression of the coroner girl improved a little.
"What is that girl like?" Mrs. Gu asked again.
"He is simple and kind, speaks his mind frankly, and values friendship and loyalty!" Tang Li said.
Mrs. Gu naturally believed in her daughter's vision.
Everyone in the family has to listen to her ideas, but she listens to her daughter.
"Nannan, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Gu continued to ask.
"Arrange for them to meet." Tang Li said, "My brother is very reserved, so we have to push him around."
In the novel, maybe it was because her brother was too boring that the two of them missed each other!
The two of them are superiors and subordinates in the Dali Temple. Only by eating together can they break that layer of window paper!
When his brother came back, Tang Li told him about this.
Tang Li didn't say the girl was Fang Miao. She had to keep it a little mysterious and give her brother a surprise. Otherwise, if they both knew who the other was, all the anticipation would be gone.
Gu Huainian was naturally very reluctant.
His mother had been sending him portraits lately, and he was actually a little annoyed. He wasn't interested in any of those girls, and now his sister was worrying about it again...
Just as he was about to refuse, he saw his sister tilting her head back, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, with a look of pleading and coquettishness.
So, the words of refusal turned into "Okay."
"Brother, when will you take a day off?"
"The day after tomorrow." Gu Huainian said.
"Brother, how about the day after tomorrow? We can book it at Qingfeng Restaurant." Tang Li said excitedly.
Forget it, so as not to disappoint my sister, I agreed to her request first.
I'll meet her the day after tomorrow, and then tell her it's not appropriate, which will be an explanation to my sister.
Gu Huainian was planning this.
Gu Huainian was not interested in the girl his sister mentioned and didn't take her seriously.
Tang Li turned around and told Fang Miao about this.
After hearing this, Fang Miao felt both nervous and expectant.
The two had met many times at the Dali Temple, but all of them were due to official business. However, they would meet alone tomorrow, and the implications of this were obvious.
Lord Gu...could he like her a little bit?
Let her dream.
