If the three time-traveling friends knew about his idea, they would definitely give him a thumbs up, then push Lu Zheng forward and have the big boss take him away.
This guy is truly a master; his thoughts and thought process are unlike any ordinary person!
“A-Yuan isn’t my son, he’s a young man from the same village. He’s about the same age as this young man in black!” Gu Shouxin sized up Xue Qianyu, then added, “But when it comes to looks, there’s no absolute standard. Just like there’s no first place in literature, you can’t really compare them. The kid in our village is quite handsome, but he’s unlucky and a bit simple-minded. This young man looks like he comes from a distinguished family, and his demeanor is extraordinary. To each their own, my eldest daughter thinks this young man is handsome, while my youngest daughter thinks that simple-minded boy from our village is handsome. But from our adult perspective, they each have their own merits.”
"What you say makes sense! May I ask, sir, is your daughter, of such a young age, betrothed?" The emperor nodded, then asked again.
"Master!" Xue Qianyu was anxious. Could it be that he was going to be brought back a wife after accompanying him on this trip?
The Gu family members: "..."
I've never heard of such a gossipy emperor!
"Excuse me, sir, may I interrupt? I don't know if you've heard, but you can't just tell people a woman's age. As for whether she's betrothed or not? So what if she is? So what if she isn't? Can you arrange the marriage for the young man in black beside you? Even if you could, I wouldn't be interested!" Gu Nian said.
"Oh? Didn't you say he was handsome?" The emperor became interested.
"Yes, he is good-looking! But just because he's good-looking doesn't mean I have to fall for him. Who knows if he's just all show and no substance? My mother said good-looking men are unreliable. There are too many women out there. I'm just a country girl. I don't care about being rich or powerful. I just want to find someone who's devoted to me. So, as long as he's decent-looking, that's enough. Why does he have to be so good-looking? Just to make myself miserable?" Gu Nian asked.
"I don't know if it adds to the annoyance or not, but beauty is pleasing to the eye, and can even be a feast for the eyes!" The emperor found Gu Nian extremely amusing and said with a smile.
Xue Qianyu's face darkened, and he glared at Gu Nian as if he wanted to devour her.
"Oh, everyone has different pursuits!" Gu Nian said indifferently.
"Brother, I'm really sorry. I only have two daughters at home, and I've spoiled them by raising them. Please forgive me!" Gu Shouxin cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.
"Oh, no problem at all! I happen to have a few daughters at home, about the same age as your daughter, but they're not as lively as yours! You've raised your daughter very well!" the emperor said enviously.
He wasn't lying at all. None of his four daughters were afraid of him. They didn't dare to speak loudly in front of him. As long as he was around, his daughters were as composed as people in their twenties or thirties. But when he wasn't around, they were arrogant and domineering.
Look at these two daughters. With their father around, they aren't afraid to talk to strangers at all, as if their father is their source of confidence.
On the other hand, his daughter seems to be someone he can't be seen with, and tries her best not to get close to him.
What a difference!
That's the difference!
"My surname is Ye. I get along quite well with you, brother. Why don't you hand me over to a friend?" The emperor cupped his hands in a gesture similar to Gu Shouxin's, his face full of sincerity.
Hmm, stay and talk to this brother more about how to raise a daughter well and make her feel that he, her father, is a source of confidence.
