Chapter 1131: What evil intentions could Young Master Gu have?
Peach Blossom Mountain.
The former Peach Blossom Temple has been expanded several times. The emperor and the prince live here all year round. One reason is to accompany Gu Jian, and the other is that the emperor himself wants to live a quiet life.
As the crown prince is a son and is in poor health, he cannot handle state affairs, so he stays by the emperor's side to show his filial piety. With him accompanying the emperor, the crown prince in the capital can feel more confident.
Gu Jian is now over 90 years old. Because of his old age, he caught a cold last year and it took him more than two months to recover. This scared everyone.
As soon as Gu Moyan and Xiao Moan came back, they were called over by the emperor to be lectured.
The emperor looked at Gu Moyan, his usual affability gone, his expression serious. "It's time for you to enjoy yourself enough these years. Your uncle is getting older. You must get married this year, and next year you must let your father hold your son."
Gu Moyan also knew about Gu Jian's situation. An old man in his nineties could die in an instant just from a headache or fever. He also hoped that his ancestor would have no regrets: "Moyan, do your best."
He also wanted to get married soon, but finding a wife wasn't something you could do just like that...
The Emperor was not satisfied with this answer and snorted, "It's not about trying, it's about having to. The old man hasn't pushed you too much over the years, so I have no choice but to turn a blind eye and not make any demands on you."
"But you're already twenty this year. We can't put it off any longer. I'll arrange your marriage. Do you have any objections?"
Gu Moyan felt helpless. If the Emperor intervened, even his parents would have to obey. How could he dare to retort? "Moyan will obey the Emperor in everything."
Hearing him say this, the emperor's expression softened a little: "I have been a matchmaker for many couples in my life, and every couple has lived happily. You, just wait and wait to be the groom."
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked Gu Moyan and Xiao Moan to leave.
After leaving the room, Xiao Moan saw Gu Moyan looking dejected, and couldn't help but comfort her: "In fact, the marriage arranged by the family is not as bad as you imagined, and the one you find yourself may not be as good as you imagined."
"When it comes to life, the key lies in your mindset and how you live it."
"Our wife's main job is to take care of the household, take care of the husband and raise the children. If you really don't like her, you can just marry a few concubines."
Gu Moyan did not respond. In this regard, he felt that there was a generation gap between him and Xiao Moan.
Although he felt somewhat lost and regretful, since he had inherited the title of his ancestor, he had to shoulder the responsibility of carrying on the Gu family's legacy.
In March and April in Zhongzhou, flowers are in full bloom, birds are singing, and the earth is full of vitality.
Such beautiful spring weather is a great time for an outing, which naturally attracts countless young girls to go out and play together.
The Tang family had just arrived in Zhongzhou and didn't know many people, but Lord Tang's official position was there, so as soon as he arrived, Mrs. Tang received a lot of invitations.
On March 16, Mrs. Tang, at the invitation of Mrs. Xu, a councilor, took sisters Tang Zixin and Tang Zijin to Xiangshan in Xiaowai for an outing.
Mrs. Xu invited many people. After arriving at Xiangshan, Mrs. Xu enthusiastically introduced the ladies of each family to Mrs. Tang.
After getting to know each other, Mrs. Tang saw that the girls were playing somewhere else, so she didn't restrain Tang Zixin and Tang Zijin and asked them to follow the girl from the Xu family to meet the girls from other families.
Tang Zixin is two years older than Tang Zijin. With the protection of Old Madam Tang and Old Master Tang, she lives a very good life in the Tang family even though she has lost her mother.
In addition, Mrs. Tang was not a cruel person and did not treat her badly at all. Therefore, Tang Zixin, who had no worries in life, was more outgoing and lively.
This was the first time he met the girl from the Xu family. After a while, he was chatting and laughing with her. He was very good at getting along with outsiders.
On the contrary, Tang Zijin is more gentle and quiet, and doesn't talk much.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Tang Zixin had no intention of dragging Tang Zijin along when he was chatting and laughing with the girl from the Xu family.
However, Miss Xu felt a little sorry when she saw Tang Zijin being excluded alone, and she would occasionally throw something at her.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the place where the ladies gathered.
After some greetings, Tang Zijin found a quiet pavilion to sit down, while Tang Zixin was surrounded by other ladies.
Zhu Xin pouted and said in a dissatisfied tone, "What do you mean by this, Miss? You are trying to put me down in every way you say. Isn't this clearly asking other girls to look down on me?"
Tang Zijin's expression remained calm as she said calmly, "Big Sister is very strong-willed. She won't let me steal her limelight in front of outsiders. Let's just stay away from her."
Zhu Xin frowned, "But why should you keep giving in? The eldest girl is the eldest sister, shouldn't she give in to her younger sisters?"
Tang Zijin drew circles on the stone table with her fingers, looking at the scenery in the distance: "If I have a conflict with my elder sister, it will make it difficult for mother. It's just a small matter, so what's the harm in giving in?"
As he spoke, he stood up and looked at the stone steps on the mountain. "The flowers on the mountainside are blooming so beautifully. Let's climb up and take a look. It's been a long time since I last climbed a mountain."
As soon as I walked out of the pavilion, Miss Xu came over.
"Sister Xu!"
"Sister Zijin!"
Miss Xu smiled and said, "I don't like crowded places either. I hope you don't mind me disturbing you."
Tang Zijin shook her head: "Of course I don't mind. I'm planning to go to the mountainside to enjoy the flowers. How about coming with me, sister?"
Miss Xu nodded immediately: "Okay, it happens that I haven't exercised for a long time."
Of the Tang sisters, she prefers the younger sister, Tang Zijin, who is gifted, intelligent, and beautiful, and is a very gentle and kind person;
Unlike Tang Zixin, who seems easy to get along with at first sight, her enthusiasm is a bit excessive, and there is a hint of competition in her words and actions. It would be tiring to interact with such a person for a long time.
Xiangshan Mountain is not high. It only takes about a hundred steps to climb to the halfway point. The two of them were a little out of breath when they reached the halfway point, but they were not very tired.
“The flowers on this hillside are blooming so beautifully!”
Looking at the flowers all over the ground, both girls smiled with joy.
Afterwards, the two of them sat down in the flowers and started chatting. Miss Xu talked about the gossip in Zhongzhou, and Tang Zijin also talked about the interesting stories of following Lord Tang during his years of exile.
“There’s actually Eucommia ulmoides growing here!”
While chatting, Tang Zijin saw a large patch of Eucommia ulmoides growing on the hillside not far away. He immediately stood up and walked over. Just as he was about to squat down to take a closer look, a black shadow pounced over and knocked Tang Zijin to the ground.
"Erha, don't hurt anyone!"
An urgent male voice sounded, and then, before Miss Xu and Zhu Xin could come to their senses, Gu Moyan quickly came to Tang Zijin, first pushed the hunting dog Erha away, and then looked at Tang Zijin who was half-lying on the ground.
"Girl, are you okay?"
Tang Zijin was suddenly knocked to the ground. Her hands and knees were actually very painful, but when she saw Gu Moyan suddenly appear, she was so surprised that she forgot to react and just stared at him in a daze.
Little Master.
Seeing that Tang Zijin didn't say anything and just looked at him stupidly, Gu Moyan couldn't help but frown.
Another nympho!
Seeing him frown, Tang Zijin instinctively shuddered and said in seconds: "I'm fine!"
When she was a child, whenever the young master frowned, it meant he was unhappy. Whenever the young master was unhappy, he liked to bully her. She thought her face was still so round because she was pinched too many times by the young master when she was a child.
Seeing that Tang Zijin was indeed fine, Gu Moyan stood up without any intention of helping him.
At this time, Miss Xu and Zhu Xin came back to their senses and hurried over to help Tang Zijin up.
Gu Moyan looked at them and said, "The herbs and flowers here are owned by someone else. Don't come here unless you have anything to do. Otherwise, if you get bitten by a dog, you'll just have to blame yourself for your bad luck."
Having said that, he was about to leave.
When turning around, Gu Moyan's eyes suddenly flashed, and the Husky actually wagged its tail at the little round face that had just been pounced on.
As for the little round face, he even boldly rubbed the Husky's head.
Looking at this scene, Gu Moyan was a little puzzled.
When did Erha become so close to outsiders?
You know, even if Xiao Moan wanted to touch it, it wouldn't want to.
Is this dog a lecherous dog?
"Erha, let's go!"
Hearing Gu Moyan's shout, Tang Zijin instinctively retracted his hand and signaled Erha with his eyes to leave quickly.
Erha barked at Tang Zijin before running towards Gu Moyan.
Gu Moyan glanced at Tang Zijin, then left with Erha. After reuniting with Xiao Moan not far away, she couldn't help but mutter, "That little round face looks familiar. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."
