Chapter 166 Marry You

The old lady only now knew why he left without saying goodbye, why he left a note and didn’t come to see her.

Now that she knew the truth, she understood everything that she had been wondering about.

She was not wrong about him at the time. When she first met him, he was a young man with high spirits and outstanding temperament, not a bandit.

"More than a month after you left, I found out that I was pregnant, but you didn't come. Brother Li wanted to marry me, so I had no choice but to leave the Li Mansion. I waited for more than a year, but I didn't see you come. I thought you wouldn't come, so I took Jing'er and left Yangzhou."

Gu Changyu said anxiously: "I came to Yangzhou four times that year, I came to Yangzhou one and a half months after I left. You were no longer in Li's house. I came three more times afterwards, but still couldn't find you. "

The old lady smiled faintly when she heard this: "You came four times and didn't find me. Maybe this is just fate. Now the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's let the past go."

Gu Changyu held her hand excitedly, "Who said we are not destined to be together? I come to Yangzhou every year, but this year I met my daughter-in-law and learned that you were pregnant that year and gave birth to a son for me. This is fate, which allows us to meet again."

The old lady is 39 years old this year. For a woman, she is no longer young. Although she has had skin-to-skin contact with Gu Changyu, she was frightened when he held her hand.

She wanted to pull her hand back, but Gu Changyu's grip was very strong. Just like that night, he held her hand tightly. She didn't even have a chance to struggle and could only let him do whatever he wanted.

"Let me go."

Gu Changyu finally caught her, how could he bear to let her go?

He said seriously, word by word: "Susu, I'm here to marry you."

The old lady looked at Gu Changyu in a daze. She had been waiting for him to tell her, "I'm here to marry you."

She waited and waited, and waited and waited.

Even after her belly grew bigger and she waited until the day of delivery, she still couldn't wait for Gu Changyu to say, "I'm here to marry you."

"What are you talking about?"

Gu Changyu repeated, "Susu, I'm here to marry you."

The old lady heard it clearly this time, and she asked back, "Didn't you marry a wife in these years?"

Gu Changyu paused and said, "Yes, my mother wanted me to marry a wife. At that time, my father's old illness relapsed, and I had no choice but to marry her. She was in poor health, and my father died not long after she got married, and she also died within half a month. "

The old lady was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and did not say anything, but said: "We are all old, and our son is so old. You don't have to marry me for the original promise and for the responsibility. I have everything now. Jing'er is very filial and excellent. I am very satisfied now."

Gu Changyu was a little anxious when he heard this, "I married you, not only because of the original promise, nor for responsibility, but I wanted to marry you. When I saw you for the first time, I had the idea of ​​marrying you, and it has never changed."

"Susu, I fell in love with you at first sight when I was seventeen. Don't you have any feelings for me?"

The old lady was stunned again when she heard this.

She thought she was the only one who fell in love at first sight, but she didn't expect that Gu Changyu also fell in love with her.

Gu Changyu was a little flustered when he saw that she didn't say anything.

"Susu, you also have feelings for me. The fact that you are willing to wait for me is the best proof."

The old lady pursed her lips, a little embarrassed, "Let's talk it over, everyone outside the wall can hear it."

Gu Changyu also found that he was a little excited, "Susu, you don't have to rush to refuse. Although we have wasted more than 20 years, we will take it slow for the rest of our lives."

When the old lady heard the words "the rest of our lives", she was stunned for a long time.

When Yuanbao came back, he smelled the fragrance of the restaurant. Only when Jiang Youning was there, Chuntao's cooking would be so fragrant.

"Could it be that the young lady is back?"

Yuanbao strode in and saw Chuntao busying around, and he knew that Jiang Youning was back.

"Chun Tao, where is the young lady?"

Chun Tao took the washed vegetables, stood up and looked at Yuan Bao, smiling and said, "The young lady is resting in the room, do you have something to ask her?" "

Yes." Yuan Bao responded and strode into the room.

Chun Tao saw that Yuan Bao was so anxious, and it must be something important for the young lady. She took the vegetables and walked into the small kitchen.

Jiang Youning was lying on the couch, eating green bean cake in her hands. There were ice cubes in the room, which was very cool.

Yuan Bao knocked on the door and came in. This was the scene he saw. He felt that Jiang Youning seemed to have lost weight.

"Miss."

Jiang Youning saw Yuanbao coming in, she sat up and leaned against Pingji, "Yuanbao, how is Suisui Ruyi these days?"

Yuanbao said, "I heard that Suisui Ruyi's business is good, but there were also people who came to find fault, but I solved them."

"Finding fault?" Jiang Youning's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, "Could it be that there was a problem with the silk flowers that the customer bought?"

Yuanbao nodded, "There was a problem with the silk flowers that the customer bought, but it wasn't Suisui Ruyi, it was another store, and the silk flower hairpin that imitated Suisui Ruyi had a problem. As a result, the customer didn't figure out what Suisui Ruyi was, and after I saw it, I knew it wasn't ours."

Jiang Youning was not surprised to hear this, because some people imitated our candied haws and some people imitated our thousand-layer cakes, all because they sold well. Since velvet hairpins are so popular now, it is normal for other hairpins to be imitated, just like in modern times, when copywriting is popular, people imitate copywriting, and when clothes are popular, people imitate clothes, all for the purpose of making money.

"From now on, the four characters of Sui Sui Ru Yi will be engraved on the back of our hairpins."

Yuan Bao thought it was a good idea, "Miss is smart, I will arrange it now."

Jiang Youning nodded, "Go ahead, I trust you to do the job."

Yuan Bao walked out happily after hearing that.

Dinner was eaten at Lingxi Courtyard, and the old lady and Gu Changyu were both there.

The round table was filled with Jiang Youning's favorite dishes, because Chun Tao only knew Jiang Youning's preferences, and Xie Jing would eat whatever Jiang Youning ate, and she was not very picky about food.

To quote Jiang Youning, people like Xie Jing are easier to deal with than her.

At first, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

More of an embarrassment.

Gu Changyu and Xie Susu hadn't seen each other for so many years, and they were a little nervous.

Xie Jing stood up and took the wine pot to fill the wine glass in front of Gu Changyu, then filled the wine glass in front of him with wine, and then put down the wine pot.

The old lady looked at her son, then at Gu Changyu. The father and son looked very similar. She had always known this.

"Jing'er, you have already known him, so there is no need for me to introduce you."

Xie Jing looked at Gu Changyu, "Did mother forgive him?"

The old lady said, "The misunderstanding between your father and I has been resolved. I have never resented him. I can't say whether I forgive him or not, but I hope that the relationship between you and your son can be more harmonious."

Xie Jing heard the meaning of the old lady's words, picked up the wine glass and stood up, looking at Gu Changyu with dark eyes, "Dad, your son toasts you." Seeing this,

Jiang Youning picked up the juice in front of him and stood up, "Dad, your daughter-in-law toasts you."

Gu Changyu was stunned for a moment. Who could call him dad when he was just calling him just now?

He picked up the wine glass in front of him and looked at his son and daughter-in-law. Compared with his son, he liked this smart daughter-in-law more.

But he also liked his son.

"It is my blessing to have such an outstanding son like you, and it is also because of Susu's good teaching."

Xie Jing raised the wine glass to his mouth, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Youning saw it, and also raised the juice in his hand, put it to his mouth and took a big sip.

After Gu Changyu finished the wine in the glass, Xie Jing and Jiang Youning sat down one after another.

The old lady looked at the father and son in front of her. It's not that she hadn't thought about such a scene, but she didn't dare to think about it.

Every time she saw her son looked like Gu Changyu, she couldn't help but think of the young man who was full of vigor and vitality back then.

Every time she thought of it, she would force herself not to think about it.

Now that they are finally reunited, the family is complete only when they sit together.

Suddenly, there is a piece of meat in the bowl in front of her. She looked up at Gu Changyu and heard him say, "We even have a son. I don't know what you like, but this rib tastes good. Try it."

Gu Changyu thought that they still have the rest of their lives to get to know each other slowly.

The old lady has been fasting and chanting for a long time. She hasn't eaten meat for a long time. This is the first time that Gu Changyu has given her food, and it is difficult to refuse.

Jiang Youning saw it and looked up at Xie Jing.

Xie Jing noticed Jiang Youning looking at him, thinking that she wanted him to help her pick up some food, so he picked up three pieces of braised pork ribs and put them in her bowl, "I'll pick more after you finish eating."

"..."

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xie Jing glanced at the food on the table, his eyes fell on the braised pork elbow, and picked up a large piece and put it in the empty bowl in front of her.

"Do you want more?"

Jiang Youning looked at the large piece of braised pork elbow in front of her and licked her lips. Although... she wanted to eat it from the beginning.

Seeing that she didn't move her chopsticks, Xie Jing, who was quick-thinking, immediately realized something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Youning couldn't help asking, "In your eyes, do I do nothing but eat?"

Xie Jing asked back, "Isn't it?"

Jiang Youning: "..."

She is greedy, but not that greedy, right?

The old lady raised her head and looked at Gu Changyu, "I am fasting and chanting Buddha now."

Gu Changyu frowned when he heard it, "You are so thin..."

He coughed lightly, "Sincerely, what's the harm in eating some meat? You are not thinking of becoming a monk, are you?"

The old lady shook her head, "No."

Gu Changyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, burn incense and worship Buddha, and forget about fasting."

What he actually wanted to say was, if he continued to eat, how thin would he be?

"Hmm." The old lady picked up the ribs in the bowl and put them into her mouth and took a bite. It tasted really good.

Jiang Youning saw this and was somewhat impressed by the uncle. With just one sentence, he made his mother, who was a vegetarian and chanting Buddha, start eating meat.

She said she couldn't live without meat. How much less happiness would she have if she didn't even eat meat?

When Director Gu saw her eating, he picked up a few more pieces for her.

Xie Jing glanced at the two of them, retracted his gaze, and picked up some more ribs and chicken legs for Jiang Youning.

Jiang Youning looked at the ribs, chicken legs and other dishes piled up like a mountain. She wanted to explain a few words, but then she changed her mind and thought it was good to listen to this. Wouldn't it be delicious to save her the time of picking up dishes and just gnaw on the chicken legs?

After dinner, Chuntao cleaned up the leftovers on the table.

Gu Changyu and the old lady returned to Jingyouyuan.

Today is the first day of the reunion. Gu Changyu originally wanted to wait for two days before mentioning it, but now, he wants to make things a reality.

"Susu."

The old lady raised her head and looked at Gu Changyu, "What's wrong?"

Gu Changyu said seriously: "Let's get married, I don't want to wait a day."

The old lady was stunned when she heard it.

Gu Changyu said again; "Twenty-four years of waiting is enough. Now we are finally reunited. I want to become a legitimate couple with you."

The old lady was a little hesitant. She has been living here alone with her children for so many years and has never thought about getting married.

She was caught off guard by the sudden marriage. She

is almost forty years old and has become accustomed to the current life.

Gu Changyu saw the hesitation in her eyes, and he held her hand tightly. Under the dim candlelight, there was a pair of eyes full of affection.

"Susu, every day that passes is one less day. If we get married one day later, we will be together one less day. Life is short, so cherishing what is in front of you is the most important thing."

"I was thinking, every year I go to Yangzhou with expectations, but every time I return to Luoyang with disappointment, I am lucky to meet my daughter-in-law this time, don't you think it is fate?"

The old lady said, "It's quite a coincidence, if we hadn't met, Jing'er might not have found you so quickly. Jing'er has been independent since she was a child, and she doesn't let me worry. I didn't expect that she kept the matter of looking for you a secret from me."

Gu Changyu asked, "If he told you, would you stop him from looking for me?"

The old lady shook her head, "No, you are his father, it is human nature for him to look for you, I just think that so many years have passed, and it is difficult to find you in the vast sea of ​​people."

Gu Changyu said seriously, "Then let's get married."

The old lady hesitated for a while, and finally nodded. .

Gu Changyu hugged her tightly in his arms happily, and said excitedly: "I have waited for this day for 24 years, and finally it has come."

The old lady felt like she was dreaming, a little dazed, and the person holding her was a little unreal.

In Lingxi Courtyard, Jiang Youning drank tea to quench her thirst, "General, are father and mother going to get married?"

Xie Jing looked over and saw her holding tea and looking at him.

"Well, it should be soon."

Jiang Youning's almond eyes curved when she heard it, "Then there will be a wedding banquet."

Xie Jing's eyes froze when he heard it, and sure enough, he was still thinking about food.

The next day, Gu Changyu told Xie Jing about the marriage.

"Your mother and I missed each other for more than 20 years. Now we are getting married like this to tell you that your opinion is not important."

The implication is that you have to agree, the marriage is done.

Xie Jing looked at him expressionlessly, "You owe it to your mother." Gu

Changyu knew that his son agreed when he heard it. Of course, it was best if he agreed. What if Su Su was worried that her son didn't want to marry him?

"You're right, I arrived too late, so I want to get married quickly, of course, it has to be a big deal, not sloppy."

Xie Jing said: "Just tell Xue Yi if you need to do anything, he's done it once, he knows these things very well."

Xue Yi stepped forward and bowed: "I'm Xue Yi."

Gu Changyu had met Xue Yi before, but they had never spoken. He glanced at him and said: "I see you're younger than Jing'er, I thought you weren't married, but I didn't expect you're already married."

Good morning, babies!
