Chapter 281: Frustrate him

While eating the banquet, Gu Shan secretly told Gu Jiu, "Second elder sister knows, who is the girl who gave birth to face?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "I don't know. Does the fourth sister know?"
Gu Shanfuer said: "The girl's surname is Zhou. I heard that she is from Chuzhou and has a marriage contract with Gu Rui, the elder in the lobby.
Ahem...
Gu Jiu coughed again and again, "Hall brother and Jia's sister-in-law have been married for many years, how can we have another marriage contract with this girl surnamed Zhou? Can you hear clearly?"
Gu Shan said: "I am also confused, but I heard Mrs. Zhu Guoguo personally say that it is Miss Zhou who has a marriage contract with Brother Grand Hall."
"You just said that Miss Zhou is from Chuzhou?"
Gu Shan nodded, "Is there a problem?"
Gu Jiu said: "Does the four sisters know about the Zhou clan of Chuzhou? The emperor of this dynasty emperor came from the Zhou clan of Chuzhou. The children of the Zhou clan are all over the court, and although no one is going to enter the court, the relationship is intertwined and influences the court. Powerful. Even the patriarch of the Sun clan once said that the Sun clan is inferior to the Zhou clan by three points."
Gu Shan was surprised, "Second Sister means that the girl Zhou who followed Mrs. Zhu Guo's visit today is from the Zhou family of Chuzhou?"
"The girl surnamed Zhou who can make a marriage contract with Brother Dongfang, except for the Zhou family in Chuzhou, I can't think of anyone else. Unless there are two Zhou families in Chuzhou."
"Naturally, there are no two Zhous in Chuzhou."
Gu Qi came to Gu Jiu's table to toast and sat down when she heard the two chatting.
"Does Sister Qi know Miss Zhou?" Gu Jiu asked curiously.
Gu Qi shook her head, "I don't know, I only heard of a girl Zhou today."
"I heard that Miss Zhou has a marriage contract with Brother Grand Hall, is this true?"
Gu Qi put down the wine glass and said in a low voice: "This is true. I heard that the marriage contract was made twelve years ago.
However, the eldest brother was not married to Jia's sister-in-law, so the old man tried to retreat from the marriage.
It has been two years since Jia's sister-in-law passed away, and Miss Zhou also delayed her wedding due to her filial piety.
Knowing that the eldest brother is now single and has no children under his knees, the Zhou family wants to renew the marriage contract.
Mrs. Zhu Guo is a relative of the Zhou family. No, the Zhou family entrusts the matter to Mrs. Zhu Guo.
So Miss Zhou followed Mrs. Zhu Guo as a guest, so that the old lady and the eldest aunt could see each other.
If it works, maybe the two families really want to renew their marriage contract. If it doesn't work, the right should recognize a door and the two families should be relatives. "
After listening to Gu Jiu, he said with emotion: "What happened in this world is a coincidence. Jia's sister-in-law is gone, and Miss Zhou has not settled because of her filial piety marriage. Going around, is it that God is destined to be with Miss Zhou and the big brother? Right?"
Gu Shan asked, "How old is Miss Zhou? I'm afraid she is twenty."
Gu Qi said: "It should be less than twenty, probably eighteen, or nineteen."
"Will this age be older?" Gu Shan asked in a low voice.
Gu Jiu said, "I think it's the right age."
Gu Qi pursed her lips and smiled, "Well, let's not count, the old lady, the old man, the uncle and the uncle have the final say. In the end, it depends on the elder brother's heart. The eldest brother has kept so long for Jia's sister-in-law. Time, I don’t know if I have come out."
Gu Jiu said with emotion: "Brother Hall is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. He has a deep affection for Jia's sister-in-law. It's a pity that the two are too weak to stay with each other."
"If Grandma agrees to this marriage, doesn't it mean that we can have a wedding wine this year?"
...
After eating the banquet, everyone gathered in the flower hall to talk.
Gu Mei took Gu Jiu to see Gu Rui.
Gu Rui stood in the courtyard where he lived with Jia's, everything in the room still kept the appearance of Jia's life.
It’s just that some decorations have been changed. Jia’s family had already pulled Jia’s dowry back last year.
"Big Brother!"
Gu Mei whispered.
Gu Rui turned her head, "Why are you here? Your stomach is so big, why are you running around, be careful."
"I'm fine."
The maid brought a chair and let Gu Mei sit down.
Gu Mei sat and asked, "Brother, are you missing your sister-in-law again?"
Gu Rui didn't say a word, her expression a little lonely.
"I saw Miss Zhou. I didn't know that my eldest brother and Miss Zhou had a marriage contract in the past."
Gu Rui said softly: "That was a long time ago, and Master Hou took the charge of the marriage. It is the first time I saw Miss Zhou today."
Gu Mei tried to ask: "Big Brother, do you regret returning the Zhou family's marriage?"
"How can I regret it? The only thing that I regret is that I shouldn't let Mingyue have a baby. She hasn't raised her health well, and she risked pregnancy before she could make a big mistake."
Gu Rui sighed, and his mood became more and more serious.
"What about now? Miss Zhou is here, and the Zhou family wants to renew their marriage. What do you think, brother?"
One of Gu Mei's questions was sharper and more direct.
Gu Rui was a little at a loss, "I haven't thought about it yet."
He looked back at the two of them, "Did I kill two women? Mingyue died because of me, and Miss Zhou delayed her wedding because of me."
Gu Mei felt sorry for her elder brother. He was really hurt by Jia Mingyue.
Gu Jiu listened for a long time, and stood up and said, "Brother Hall, this is already the case, you should also come out and start looking forward.
The Zhou family wants to renew their marriage contract. Whether you agree or disagree, I think you should make a decision simply and neatly.
If you disagree, refuse decisively, Zhou's family still has time to find another marriage for Miss Zhou.
If you agree, Zhou's family can hurry up and buy a dowry for Miss Zhou.
You hesitate to drag this matter because you sympathize with Miss Zhou. You are not kind, but cruel, even shameless.
A girl’s youth can’t be delayed. If you don’t want to, you should simply go ahead and refuse it today. If you are willing, please give Zhou Jiada a reply as soon as possible.
If you don't hear anything, you are good at everything, but you are not decisive enough to do things, so many things happen. "
Gu Mei was anxious, pulling Gu Jiu. You can say everything, what if someone is irritated.
Gu Rui's face changed, a little embarrassed, a little self-blaming, and thoughtful.
"Is sympathy cruel?"
He looked at Gu Jiu, "Sister Xiao Jiu, is sympathy for the girl's family but cruel?"
Gu Jiu said in a loud voice: "If her misfortune comes from you, and you cannot change her misfortune, then your sympathy is cruel."
Gu Rui laughed sadly, "You are right, I am not qualified to sympathize with anyone."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and asked, "Have you decided now?"
Gu Mei was very nervous. She kind of hoped that her older brother would accept Miss Zhou, but she also hoped not. Very contradictory.
Gu Rui solemnly said: "I will go to Miss Zhou for an interview now, thank you two sisters."
It seemed that Gu Rui still hadn't made up his mind.
The two watched him leave.
Gu Mei sighed, "I don't know what the eldest brother and Miss Zhou will discuss."
Gu Jiu said: "Let's go, the lobby brother has his own fate."
...
In Songhe Hall, the old lady Wei and his son and daughter-in-law are also discussing this marriage.
"Miss Zhou, you have all seen it, but she has nothing to say, she is a good one. Da Lang has been guarding the Jia family for two years, and it is time to marry another one. What do you couple think?"
The elder Gu Zhiwen asked: "The old lady is satisfied with Zhou's girl?"
The old lady Wei sighed, "Our family owes others a debt. What happened back then is not authentic. I didn't expect that this girl's marriage has not been resolved until now. Since Zhou's family intends to renew the marriage contract, you may wish to consider it. Consider. And the benefits of being older and older girls, at least know how to hurt people."
This is alluding that Jia Shi doesn't hurt people and only plays tricks.
The eldest wife Xiao Wei said: "This girl died of her mother, and her father remarried. Such a family is not so good."
The old lady Wei said: "Dalang died of his original partner, and when he married, he became a landfill. Don't despise anyone."
The elder Gu Zhiwen said: "I don't know what the girl's temperament is? Don't be another Jia family."
The old lady Wei said: "This girl speaks and acts generously, and she can't miss it. If you don't worry, you will send someone to call her."
The eldest wife Xiao Wei did not object.
The Zhou family’s family background is there, there is no choice, a first-class family.
If Miss Zhou is really generous and decent, it is not impossible to renew her marriage contract.
The old lady Wei immediately arranged for someone to call Miss Zhou.
As a result, Gu Rui went to Songhetang with Miss Zhou.
The eldest wife, Xiao Wei, was surprised, "How come you guys are together?"
Gu Rui explained: "The son talked to Miss Zhou for a few words."
Oh!
The eldest wife Xiao Wei's expression was unclear, and she looked at Miss Zhou sharply.
Girl Zhou looked calm, neither humble nor overbearing, with extraordinary bearing. Worthy of being Zhou's daughter.
The old lady Wei was cheerful, "Da Lang, what did you talk to Miss Zhou."
Gu Rui first glanced at Girl Zhou, and then said, "I asked her how these came here? Do you hate our Gu family?"
Everyone's complexion changed.
Miss Zhou blessed her body and said, "I hated it at the beginning. Seeing that the wedding period was approaching, she suddenly retired. She was sad for several days and didn’t close her eyes. People around her always thought that retiring was because of me. Will be rejected by others."
Gu Rui immediately explained, "I have never despised you. I didn't expect that what happened back then would cause you so much harm."
Girl Zhou gave a wry smile, "Is it unexpected or unwilling to think about it?"
Gu Rui was embarrassed for a moment. He didn't know how the divorce would affect the reputation of the girl's family. As Miss Zhou said, he just didn't want to think about it.
Miss Zhou continued: "Later, her mother became very ill and served her mother's decoction every day, so she didn't have the heart to hate.
Before my mother was alive, I was always thinking about my marriage, but when I was in Chuzhou, everyone knew that I was divorced, and for a while, I couldn't say a good marriage.
When my mother passed away, my marriage was not settled.
At the end of last year, after the filial piety period, my family began to marry me again. Chuzhou had no hope, so he went to Beijing with his uncle, planning to find a marriage in the capital.
It was only when I arrived in the capital that I learned that you are a widower and there are no children under your knees. Mrs. Jing Zhu Guo reminded that the family wanted to renew their marriage contract. "
After hearing this, the old lady Wei sighed, "I have embarrassed you these years. It is because our family is not good, which delayed your youth."
Miss Zhou shook her head, "Don't say that, the old lady, you can only say that I and Gu Rui have no fate. This time, my family's proposal to renew the marriage is really wishful thinking.
Don't be embarrassed, and don't sympathize with me just because my marriage hasn't settled, so as to agree to my unreasonable request.
It doesn't matter to me. Based on my family background and dowry, it is not difficult to find a right marriage, it is just a matter of time.
Today the right should recognize a door, if there is a chance in the future, the two can continue to communicate. "
The old lady Wei said with emotion: "Really a good girl. If the old man said, we are not because we sympathize with you, but because we really want to renew the marriage contract, are you willing?"
Miss Zhou did not answer this question. She looked at Gu Rui, "Why don't the old lady ask him if he wants to?"
Everyone looked at Gu Rui.
"I……"
As soon as Gu Rui spoke, she was interrupted by Miss Zhou, "I said, don't agree to this marriage because of sympathy.
If you are not willing to marry me in your heart, please do not agree to this marriage.
Although I am older, I don't worry about getting married. I can find the right marriage, so don't feel any guilt, and don't marry me because of guilt.
I would rather not have such a marriage. If I want to marry, I will marry a man who will marry me sincerely and willing to live with me forever.
Instead of thinking about other women in my heart, marrying my man only because of guilt. "
These words made Gu Rui ashamed.
He is even worse than a woman.
He said to Miss Zhou: "I'm sorry, I can't forget Mingyue. But I promise that if I marry you, I will treat you well and live with you forever."
Girl Zhou raised her eyebrows and smiled mockingly, "Sorry, I don't want to marry you like this."
The sentence not wanting to marry makes everyone embarrassed.
Miss Zhou's request is not excessive.
Gu Rui is really unbelievable.
The eldest wife, Xiao Wei, thinks that Miss Zhou is very good, and the daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion should be a woman like Zhou with her own opinions. Much better than Jia's before.
However, the son is not up to date. It is not enough to be harmed by Jia family for so many years. Now he missed the marriage because of Jia family.
She stared fiercely at Master Gu Zhiwen, and blamed you.
Gu Zhiwen looked dumbfounded and blamed me no matter what.
The eldest wife, Xiao Wei, lowered her voice and said fiercely: "If you didn't divorce, Miss Zhou would have been our daughter-in-law. I blame you."
Gu Zhiwen pointed at Gu Rui, and blamed this relentless son.
Humph!
Seeing that the good daughter-in-law was about to fly, the eldest wife, Xiao Wei, could not care about anything else. She hurriedly said, "Miss Zhou, don't make a decision in a hurry. My Dalang is sincere, and never fools. .
He treats you sincerely before admitting that he can't forget Jia. Moreover, he and Jia's relationship for many years, so easy to forget, so unfortunately, I am afraid you dare not marry.
When you get along with him, you know that he is really nice. Although he can't forget Jia Shi, he will also show affection for you. "
Miss Zhou was a little tangled, she looked at Gu Rui.
Gu Rui's affection, she could see it.
It's a pity that Gu Rui's feelings were given to others, not to her.
She smiled bitterly, "Maybe Gu Rui and I are destined to have no fate. I will explain what is happening in my family today. You don't have to be embarrassed."
"Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed. We are very happy to renew the marriage contract." The eldest wife Xiao Wei said anxiously.
She also stared at Gu Rui, stupid son, please say a few words quickly.
Gu Rui hesitated for a while, and then said to Miss Zhou: "I am responsible for you, and I am sorry for you. I want to marry you, not all guilt. When I heard you for the first time, I felt that we should be here. together."
Girl Zhou sneered, "I didn't expect that Young Master Gu would coax the girl's house like this. Before we retired, if we had a chance to meet, would you change your mind not to retire? Can you give up Jia Mingyue?"
Gu Rui looked embarrassed, "Things that have passed cannot be repeated. I think we should focus on the present."
Miss Zhou looked at him with a smile but a smile, "Gu Gongzi's words are right, people should look at the eyes. What about you? Do you have eyes? Can you put Jia Mingyue in the deepest part of your heart and open your heart to accept another one again? Woman? If you can't do it, you are not qualified to persuade others to look at them."
Gu Rui's face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "I can!"
One sentence I can, is shocking.
The old lady Wei's and the eldest wife's little Wei's were simply surprised.
For more than a year, they tried to persuade Gu Rui to start again, but Gu Rui refused to listen. As long as he is in the mansion, he must be holding Jia's relics in memory, and he has never thought of going out.
Unexpectedly, Miss Zhou's words made Gu Rui determined to start again.
Miss Zhou is capable.
The key is also that Miss Zhou has a good complexion, she is very healthy when she sees her body, and she will definitely be healthy in the future.
They were really scared by Jia.
The sick eldest daughter-in-law, in those few years, they were also broken because of the Jia family.
