After returning home, Qi Surong learned that Gu's father had come to visit, apparently to discuss the marriage of Gu and Qi's family. Although it was a month or two later than she remembered, it was still time to come.
Qi's mother was shocked when she saw her son and daughter in embarrassment, and asked what happened. Qi Surong just said that Su Bao accidentally fell into the lake and had to be rescued by Gu Jinyun. She did not tell her that this was done deliberately so that her mother would not worry. Fortunately, Subao was not seriously injured, and Qi's mother gave up after a few words of reprimand.
Although Qi Surong didn't know who the thug was, but when she saw Liu Muhan later, she had some suspicions in her mind. Liu Muhan appears, and his sister Liu Qian'er should be nearby too. In the previous life, Liu Qian'er had no direct conflict with Qi Surong, but she had a close relationship with Luo Yanyi. With Luo Yanyi's stupid character, it would not be enough to make the Qi and Gu family miserable. There must be someone behind her. The "master" gave instructions, and this "master" was probably Liu Qian'er.
Qi Surong soaked herself in hot water and exhaled gently. She used to have an unpleasant personality and offended others without realizing it, but now she can only suffer the consequences. But she couldn't figure it out. What was the grudge between her and Liu Qian'er? Liu Qian'er is the daughter of a Taiwei, and her position of power is even greater than that of the Qi family. No matter how arrogant she was, she would not despise the daughter of a prince. Did she guess wrong? The person behind Luo Yanyi is not Liu Qianer
Shaking his head, Qi Surong temporarily put aside these distracting thoughts. After taking a bath, he dressed neatly and went to the living room to visit the Gu family and his son.
Father Gu was very satisfied with Qi Surong, who was beautiful, smart and well-mannered. After seeing the ceremony, Qi Surong returned to the room and did not eat at the same table with them.
Qi's mother came to the room to accompany her and asked tentatively: "Rong'er, what do you think of Mr. Gu?"
"Very good." Qi Surong replied flatly while eating.
Seeing her lukewarm appearance, Qi's mother cautiously said, "Although Mr. Gu looks a little scary, he has a dignified appearance and a strong body. He can be considered a good candidate for a good son-in-law."
Qi Surong didn't reply and continued to eat.
Qi's mother said again: "Mom, I know you may feel aggrieved. With your status, marrying a relative of the emperor is not a big deal. But these days are different from the past. Your father and General Gu have an appointment, and our family has no reason to do so." Refuse this marriage."
"Mom, I won't marry him." Qi Surong replied firmly.
"Why?" Mother Qi thought for a while and asked, "Is it because of his status as a businessman?"
Qi Surong remained silent.
Qi's mother sighed: "Mother knows that you have always looked down on businessmen, but after all, Mr. Gu is a scholar and is quite knowledgeable. He is different from ordinary vulgar people."
"Mom, we are working as businessmen now, how can my daughter look down on him?" Qi Surong put down the bowl and chopsticks, looking a little sad.
"Why is that?"
The mother and daughter had been married to him for ten years, but in the end they had no benefit except dragging down their family and leaving them homeless and miserable for half their lives.
How could she marry him with a whole debt
Besides, after leaving home, I wonder if my parents and younger brother will die as depressed as they did in the previous life? If history repeats itself, how can she have the dignity to live alone in the world? Even if she wants to get married, she must at least wait until the Qi family erases its stain and regains a foothold in the capital.
"Mom, I won't marry him." Qi Surong repeated it again.
Qi's mother sighed: "Your father has the right to decide this matter. If he agrees, you may have to marry."
"Mom, don't worry, I will discuss it with dad." She was confident that she could persuade her father to give up the idea of marrying her off for the time being.
The Gu family's father and son did not leave until the appointment was made. The two businesses had a lively conversation and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After the guests left, Qi Surong found his father and mentioned the matter.
Father Qi muttered: "Gu Jinyun is a very satisfied father in every aspect, but it's a pity that he is a businessman."
"So, dad doesn't intend to agree to this marriage?" Qi Surong looked at his father.
"In the past, dad would have been unwilling, but now..." Qi's father hesitated.
Qi Surong said hurriedly: "Dad, my daughter is still young, so this matter can actually be postponed for a year or two."
Father Qi was silent.
Qi Surong switched to the mourning strategy and prayed: "Father, my daughter begs you, don't marry your daughter off so soon."
"Okay, okay, stop shaking, my head is almost knocked out by you." Qi's father looked helpless. He was also quite hesitant about marrying his daughter into the Gu family, but now he agreed to his daughter's request.
"Then dad agreed?"
"Well, you are only sixteen years old. It is not too late to marry when you are eighteen." It is most suitable for the daughters of ordinary families to marry at the age of sixteen, but wealthy families often stay for an extra year or two.
"However," Father Qi added, "I wonder if the Gu family is willing to wait? His eldest son will be twenty-three this year, right?"
"If he doesn't want to wait," Qi Surong lowered his head and murmured, "then just pretend that this marriage is not a thing. From now on, it's not a bad idea to marry men and women independently."
The next day, Qi's father sent a message to inform him that the marriage would be scheduled in two years. It took two days for the Gu family to reply to the letter, and it was Gu Jinyun who personally delivered the letter to Qi Surong's room.
At that time, Qi Surong was drawing when he saw a man suddenly appear in front of the desk and almost pierced the paper.
"You..." She stared at Gu Jinyun for a long time and asked, "How did you get in?"
"The girl is not here, and there are no guards." Gu Jinyun answered frankly.
So you openly broke into your daughter's boudoir? Your Excellency can be regarded as a person who has read a lot of poetry and books. Is this Meng Lang's move really good
"Why two years?" he asked.
"I'm young." Qi Surong replied.
Gu Jinyun looked at her without leaving a trace. She had a beautiful appearance, a well-proportioned figure, and a well-proportioned body...
"What are you looking at?" Qi Surong felt goosebumps rising on his back. This man's gaze was as real as it was too wanton.
The woman in front of him was his fiancée, so he wanted to look at her and get close to her.
Gu Jinyun looked back calmly and said, "I don't accept this reason."
"Whatever." Qi Surong lowered his head and continued drawing, deciding to ignore him.
"Why two years?" he asked again.
Qi Surong didn't even raise his head and continued to remain silent.
"Why two years?" he insisted.
Qi Surong's brows trembled slightly, then remained silent.
"Why two years?" he asked persistently.
The fingers holding the pen tightened.
"Why..."
"Master Gu!" Qi Surong finally couldn't help but raise her head and glared at him, "Can't you change the question?"
"Okay." Gu Jinyun paused and then asked, "Why two years?"
Qi Surong finally succeeded and threw the pen towards him.
Gu Jinyun caught it with quick eyes and hands, but the clothes were splashed with ink dripping.
His expression remained unchanged and he opened his mouth: "..."
"Shut up! This matter is not negotiable. Two years, it must be two years!" Qi Surong slammed the table and shouted angrily.
Gu Jinyun felt a little hot in his heart as he looked at her pretty face that was flushed with anger.
Qi Surong took a deep breath, tried to regain her composure, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, could you please leave the little girl's boudoir? I'm afraid there will be something wrong when the maid comes back and sees you later."
"Then I'll come back another day." Gu Jinyun put a letter on the table, "This is my father's reply to General Qi. Please pass it on."
"Yeah." Seeing Gu Jinyun preparing to leave, Qi Surong suddenly stopped him as if he thought of something, "Wait a minute."
Gu Jinyun stopped and turned around to look at her.
Qi Surong took out an item wrapped in silk from the cabinet, handed it to him and said, "Thank you for the wound medicine and lotus seed soup."
Gu Jinyun took the object, opened the silk cloth and saw that it was a clean porcelain cup.
"You got it." He said firmly.
Qi Surong looked away and said, "What's in the cup is a thank you gift."
Seeing Gu Jinyun reaching out to open the lid, she hurriedly said: "We'll look at it when we get back."
Gu Jinyun then retracted his hand, wrapped the porcelain cup again, nodded to her, turned around and jumped out on the window sill, then disappeared into the yard.
If they didn't know him well, most women would probably be frightened by his unscrupulous behavior...
When Gu Jinyun returned home, he immediately opened the lid of the porcelain cup and took out the contents. It was a neatly folded piece of rice paper with the names of dozens of medicinal materials listed on it. Finally, he wrote: Take it according to the prescription and it can help you sleep. .
A bit of surprise flashed in his eyes. How did she know that she often had insomnia? Even if he is asleep, the slightest sound will wake him up. Therefore, his expression always looks a little stiff, which is caused by lack of sleep and mental stress. He had seen many doctors and tried several prescriptions, but unfortunately all of them had no effect, and in the end nothing happened.
How did Miss Qi know about this? Could it be just a coincidence
Gu Jinyun stared at the prescription for a long time, and didn't come back to his senses until Liu Zi called.
He handed the recipe to Liu Zi and ordered: "Fry one before going to bed."
That night, Gu Jinyun drank the decoction and felt warm in his stomach. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he slept particularly comfortably.
In her last life, Qi Surong was lucky enough to meet her mentor, who saved her from the brink of death and extended her life for two years. As the saying goes, a long-term illness makes a good doctor, Qi Surong also learned some health-preserving methods from his master.
In this life, when she had free time, she would cook several cups of medicinal soup for her parents to help them take care of their health. My mother has a timid personality and is easily depressed; my father is an alcoholic and has been fighting for many years, which has caused many illnesses. Qi Surong wished them good health and a safe life.
However, she paid attention to other people's affairs but neglected herself. After returning from the temple that day, Su Bao was fine. Instead, she contracted a cold and didn't feel sick until two days later. He felt fever all over his body, had difficulty breathing, and lay weakly on the bed.
In fact, Qi Surong has been making plans for his family since his rebirth. He never slacked off for a moment, and the long-term backlog eventually became overwhelming. She has gained decades of life experience, but her current body is still that of a pampered girl who is no more than sixteen years old. The result of overdraft is a mountain of illnesses.
