Recently, the government has been in good order and Lord Gu is in a very good mood.
Madam Xie sent someone to invite him, saying that a table of wine and food had been prepared and invited Mr. Gu to go upstairs to drink.
Gu Quan stood by, bowed, and asked, "Master, are you going to the upper room?"
"Um!"
Lord Gu put down the document and asked, "What is Second Master Xie busy with?"
Gu Quan said, "Second Master Xie has been out every day these days, busy with socializing. Young Master Xie occasionally goes out, but spends most of his time in his room reading."
"Really? Over the years, the Xie family's business has grown bigger and bigger."
Lord Gu said casually, but Gu Quan didn't dare to respond.
Lord Gu asked again, "Where is Su Zheng?"
"Young Master Su never leaves his house and is busy copying books every day."
Master Gu nodded slightly, "What a pity."
It’s a pity that the Su family fell into decline.
If the Su family had not fallen into decline, Su Zheng would have been able to successfully enter the officialdom with his knowledge and talent.
Now, nothing can be said for sure.
Lord Gu said, "Madam has specially prepared a banquet, and we must not let her down. Follow me to the backyard."
"yes!"
Lord Gu came to the backyard.
The weather was hot, so the maids all changed into light and transparent summer clothes.
They are all young and fresh, and it is really a pleasure to be among them.
Lord Gu came to the upper room in a good mood.
Xie had been waiting for a long time.
She dressed up specially today.
She wore delicate makeup, the set of jade jewelry given to her by Lord Gu, and a youthful skirt. Her skin was as white as snow. She looked eight or nine years younger, yet exuded the charm of a mature woman.
When Lord Gu saw this, he was delighted.
Xie's flattery and deliberate attempts to please Lord Gu greatly benefited from it.
At that moment, Lord Gu suddenly thought of the deceased Su.
The Su family came from a prominent family and was dignified and elegant.
However, when the couple were together in private, Su was too dignified and had no romance at all.
It is even more impossible for Su to dress up carefully and try to please others like Xie did.
Master Gu looked at Mrs. Xie and smiled. Women, it’s better to be gentle.
"The master is coming!"
Xie came forward and leaned against Mr. Gu calmly.
Lord Gu smelled a fragrant breeze, which was his favorite jasmine scent.
Lord Gu was in a better mood, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."
Xie pursed her lips and smiled, waved her hand, and the maids retreated on their own accord.
"I am not tired. I prepare wine and food for my husband, and I am happy both physically and mentally."
The round table in the room was already filled with food and wine, all of which were Lord Gu's favorites.
Xie pulled Master Gu to sit in the main seat, picked up the wine pot and poured wine, "Husband, I will toast you first."
Lord Gu picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. Then he pulled Xie into his arms. "Madam, you look so beautiful today!"
Xie smiled shyly, "I am already old, how can I be as fresh and pretty as the young concubines."
This is jealousy!
Lord Gu was not angry, but laughed instead, with a smug look in his smile, "Madam, there's no need to be modest. My aunt has her own merits, and my wife has her own beauty. I like them both."
Xie's eyes flashed. Humph, I knew that men are all lustful and easily bored with the old and easily pleased with the new.
Xie smiled in an instant and snuggled in Mr. Gu's arms pretending to be weak.
"Husband, drink!"
Lord Gu was in a good mood, and with Mrs. Xie urging him to drink, he drank a few more glasses.
After that, they had some fun as a couple, but I won’t talk about that anymore.
Afterwards, Xie washed herself, put on plain clothes, and sat in front of the dressing table to put on her makeup.
Lord Gu leaned against the head of the bed with his shirt open, closing his eyes to rest.
Xie looked through the bronze mirror at Mr. Gu at the head of the bed, assessing the timing.
"My second brother mentioned Xie Xian's marriage a few days ago and wanted me to help him find a suitable match."
Master Gu uttered a "Hmm!" from his nose.
Xie said gently, "I think Xie Xian is a good kid. He's well-mannered, sensible, and well-mannered. But my second brother is a commoner, so I'm worried that he might be wronged in his marriage."
Master Gu opened his eyes and asked casually, "Second uncle, are you looking for a family of officials to marry into?"
Xie said, "I'd like to, but I'm afraid I'm not qualified. Officials and families with a bit of background are very picky and probably wouldn't look down on Xie Xian."
Lord Gu said: "Then let's go to the capital to discuss a marriage. With the face of my brother-in-law, Xie Xian can't be wronged."
"Thank you, my husband, for your good wishes."
After a pause, Xie continued, "Speaking of marriage, the eldest and second girls are not young anymore.
Especially the second girl, she has been weak since she was a child and is sick all day long. I don’t know what kind of family is suitable for her.
I'm really afraid that when she gets married in the future, she will be wronged by her husband's family and become ill-healthy.
I've been thinking about this for a long time. I've looked for a lot of people, but none of them are suitable."
After saying that, Xie sighed and looked worried.
Master Gu said, "You are so thoughtful. Let's discuss the second girl's marriage after we return to the capital."
Xie frowned slightly and said worriedly, "When will my husband be able to return to the capital? If he can't return to the capital within three to five years, does that mean the second girl's marriage will have to be delayed forever?"
The girl is grown up and can't be kept. If she keeps her, she will become an enemy. Besides, the second girl is not in good health. What if she becomes depressed and depressed, and her condition worsens? What should we do?
If Sister Su knew about this, she would probably blame me for not taking good care of the second girl."
After saying this, Xie lowered her brows and sighed softly, her expression gloomy.
Lord Gu frowned, his expression serious. "Madam, if you have any ideas, please speak directly."
Xie stood up and sat down beside the bed, leaning forward slightly with her collar open, revealing the fair skin beneath her clothes.
It seemed like she was revealing but not revealing, and the more he looked at the beauty under the lamp, the more beautiful she became, and Lord Gu was indeed moved.
He took the initiative to shake Xie's hand.
Mrs. Xie's hands were very soft and smooth, and well-maintained like a little girl's. Lord Gu liked them very much.
Xie said softly, "As for the second girl's marriage, I've thought about it over and over again, and I think I should find her a family she's familiar with.
It would be best to marry a close relative, so that the second girl would not be wronged after marrying him.
Moreover, the two families are familiar with each other and visit each other frequently. If Erya wants to eat something or talk to someone, she can often go back to her parents' home. Her in-laws won't gossip about her.
Lord Gu pondered for a moment, "Madam, there's some truth in what you said. Could it be that Madam has found a suitable candidate? Could it be that you've set your sights on Su Zheng?"
Xie pursed her lips and smiled, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from my husband. But it's not Su Zheng.
Of course Su Zheng is a very good person, but with the current conditions of the Su family, if the second girl marries him, she is so weak that she won’t be able to bear it.
I couldn't bear to see her suffer, so I had no choice but to give up Su Zheng."
"Madam, you are very considerate. If it's not Su Zheng, then who is it?"
Mrs. Xie asked, "What do you think of Xie Xian, my husband?"
Xie was a little nervous and looked at Lord Gu anxiously.
Master Gu asked expressionlessly, "Madam, do you think Xie Xian is suitable?"
"Xie Xian is sensible and polite, and he is also our relative. If the second girl marries Xie Xian, everyone in the Xie family will pamper her and will never let her suffer any grievances. After thinking about it, I think Xie Xian is the best match for the second girl." Xie said cautiously.
Master Gu raised an eyebrow. "The second girl is weak and may have trouble giving birth. Will Second Uncle agree?"
Mrs. Xie breathed a sigh of relief. "Second brother, there shouldn't be any problem. Besides, Xie Xian is marrying up, so why would he begrudge her poor health? What do you think, my husband?"
Lord Gu thought for a moment and said, "I'll reconsider this marriage. I didn't know much about Xie Xian before. Let's take a look at him while he's still in the mansion."
Xie was delighted. As long as Xie Xian behaved well, this marriage would be successful.
