Chapter 1142: What evil intentions could Young Master Gu have?
In the dining room, Gu Jian, the emperor and the prince had already taken their seats. The emperor was talking to Gu Jian when Gu Moyan came in with Tang Zijin.
"Sit down!"
Gu Jian said to the two of them with a smile.
Tang Zijin looked at Gu Moyan, and only after seeing Gu Moyan sit down did he sit down below him, looking like a husband and wife following his lead.
When Gu Jian and the other two saw this, they all smiled.
Gu Moyan noticed the strange expressions on the faces of the three elders. She glanced at Tang Zijin and saw that her eyes were full of dependence on her. She knew that the emperor and the prince were here. She was scared and nervous, and sighed secretly. In the end, she didn't say anything to her.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the emperor took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and said, "Okay, let's start eating." After that, he picked up a piece of the dish that Gu Jian liked with his chopsticks.
The prince followed closely behind, also picking up some food for Gu Jian, and then started eating himself...
Gu Moyan was sitting far away, so she didn't need to pick up food for Gu Jian. She just used her eyes to signal Tang Zijin that he could start eating.
This time, Tang Zijin couldn't eat as comfortably as she had the previous two times. It was her first time meeting the emperor and the prince. Even though they both had smiles on their faces and seemed very approachable, she couldn't help feeling nervous. After picking up her chopsticks, she only dared to eat the vegetables in front of her.
Seeing this, Gu Jian, who was sitting upstairs, couldn't help but say, "Girl Zijin, don't just eat the vegetables, try something else. The dishes on the table today are all your favorites."
Then he looked at Gu Moyan and said, "Moyan asked the cook to make this specifically to make amends for you."
Gu Moyan: “.”
Here it comes again, here it comes again. When he was a child, he made Little Fatty cry, and the ancestor liked to use food in his name to "coax" Little Fatty.
Tang Zijin quickly stood up and explained, "Grandfather, the young master didn't bully me yesterday. My fall was an accident, and he has already apologized. There's no need to apologize."
Gu Jian smiled and said, "Apology is apology, eating is eating, they are irrelevant."
The Emperor and the Crown Prince were unaware of what had happened yesterday. The Crown Prince immediately laughed and said, "It turns out that we were able to have this meal today thanks to Miss Tang Er."
Tang Zijin didn't know how to respond to this and could only respond with a wry smile.
Seeing her giggling, Gu Moyan felt a little uncomfortable and pulled her sleeve and asked her to sit down.
Tang Zijin then sat down, but she still didn't dare to pick up the food with her chopsticks.
Gu Moyan sighed. The little fat-faced boy was a bully at home. He only dared to yell at him and was extremely timid when he saw other people. He couldn't bear to see her eat only that plate of vegetables, so he could only help her pick up some vegetables.
Tang Zijin dared to eat the dishes that Gu Moyan picked up. She ate as much as he picked up. As she ate more, she became less restrained.
"I want to eat lion's head."
Tang Zijin said in a low voice, looking at Gu Moyan eagerly, as if waiting to be fed.
Gu Moyan glared at her, but still gave her some food, then hummed, "What else do you want to eat?"
Tang Zijin's lips dimpled and she smiled brightly, "I want to eat squirrel fish too."
Seeing that Tang Zijin quickly ate the dishes he picked for her, Gu Moyan smiled. Then he picked up dishes for her while eating himself. He was the busiest person at the entire table.
The three people, Gu Jian and others, above, looked at the two people, one picking up food and the other eating. The atmosphere was warm and loving, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.
The three of them were very concerned about Gu Moyan's marriage.
Although Gu Jian was concerned about the inheritance of the Gu family, he didn't want Gu Moyan to marry someone he didn't like.
When Zijin was a child in Xiliang, Mo Yan took great care of her. The girl was cute and adorable, and sitting together with Mo Yan, they were a perfect match.
As for the emperor, his only hope was that Gu Jian would have no regrets before his death and would see the birth of a child in the Gu family. He didn't really care who Gu Moyan married.
The prince had more thoughts. Among the royal relatives, Prince Ping's lineage was already powerful and prominent enough, so it was not appropriate to marry into an aristocratic family.
Mo Xi was quite sensible and married an orphan, which made him very satisfied; but although Yan married into a military family, she was marrying out of the family after all, so it didn't matter.
Mo Yan's side is a bit tricky, mainly because it involves the Gu family.
Privately, he didn't want him to marry a girl from a too good family, but his father was still alive, so he couldn't say much about many things.
The prince glanced at Tang Zijin. He knew Tang Xianhui, and she was someone his son valued. The Tang family was not a wealthy family, so it would be a good thing if this girl really married Mo Yan.
Seeing Gu Jian's love for Tang Zijin, the prince had an idea in his heart and couldn't help but think of acting as a matchmaker.
If my uncle likes it, my father will definitely not object.
After dinner, Tang Zijin stood up to take her leave. Seeing that the emperor and the prince had no intention of leaving, Gu Jian did not keep her to talk, but asked Gu Moyan to see her off.
After the two of them left the house, the prince smiled and said, "Uncle, I see that you really like the girl from the Tang family."
Gu Jian did not deny it and nodded with a smile: "As for Mo Yan, he just wants to be a rich and idle man. It would be most appropriate for him to marry a sweet and innocent wife without too many twists and turns."
The emperor was silent for a moment after hearing this: "The Tang family's family background is quite good."
Hearing this, the Crown Prince immediately understood that the Prince did not object to this marriage. He immediately came up with an idea and said with a smile, "I think Mo Yan also likes the girl from the Tang family. Look at how considerate and thoughtful he was at the dinner table just now. Why don't I be the matchmaker and help Mo Yan and the girl from the Tang family get together?"
Gu Moyan just walked to the door when she heard this. She was startled and hurried in: "Fourth uncle, who are you going to be a matchmaker for?"
The prince said with a smile, "Here, young master, I'll give it to you. I think Miss Tang is quite nice. How about marrying her to you?"
Gu Moyan was completely unprepared for this, and since it was proposed by the prince, it was difficult for him to refuse. He suddenly felt coerced and instinctively resisted.
The emperor saw Gu Moyan's reluctance, but he didn't want to indulge his nephew anymore. His uncle was getting older, and what he wanted to see most was the birth of Moyan's son. How could he let this brat delay it again and again?
In his opinion, even if the wife he married was not the one he liked, the worst that could happen was that he could marry a few more concubines in the future.
The most urgent task now is for him to quickly give birth to an heir for the Gu family!
"It's a rare opportunity for your fourth uncle to work as a coal miner. Why are you still not happy?"
The prince being the matchmaker is an honor of the highest order. How could Gu Moyan be unhappy? She could only shake her head bitterly: "Fourth uncle being the matchmaker shows how much he values me."
The emperor showed satisfaction: "It's good that you know. I will send someone to tell your mother later. You are twenty years old, and your marriage should have been arranged long ago. Look at Mo An, he is not much older than you, but his son has started to learn the Three Character Classic."
Seeing that the emperor was so impatient, Gu Moyan felt helpless.
He also noticed that whether it was the ancestors, the emperor, the prince, or even his mother, they all seemed to like Tang Zijin very much.
Is he really going to marry the little chubby-faced girl?
