Chapter 860 Ling Xiao's request
Gu Chunzhu received Ling Xiao in a side hall, and the room was brighter and more comfortable than the main hall. In the spacious room, only the front doors and windows are opened for ventilation, and the charcoal fire in the room makes it warm enough. There is a screen of rich and noble peony arranged in the back position. The back of the screen is unknown, while the front is a soft collapse. Gu Chunzhu sat on it and drank tea.
When Ling Xiao walked into the room, he didn't pay much attention, and just stood silently in front of Gu Chunzhu. He knew that what he was asking for this time really didn't make sense, but it was only by virtue of the slightest friendship between him and Gu Chunzhu.
Since Ling Xiao was silent, Gu Chunzhu also drank his tea with peace of mind, right when Ling Xiao did not exist.
A dry voice like dead wood sounded, May I ask how Miss Peony is doing recently?
Naturally everything is going well. Gu Chunzhu raised his eyebrows, hehe, Ling Xiao, a big lawyer, will have nothing to say and can only find something to talk to one day?
This is a little gift I gave her, and I hope the general's wife will help me pass it on. Ling Xiao took out a wooden box and handed it to Gu Chunzhu with both hands.
Nodding his head, Gu Chunzhu finally placed the things on the low table in the middle of the soft collapse.
Ling Xiao watched Gu Chunzhu randomly place his gifts, and then glanced at the teapot not far from the wooden box, before he stopped talking.
After a long silence, Gu Chunzhu almost couldn't help but want to drive Ling Xiao away. Fortunately, at this flashing moment, Ling Xiao asked hesitantly, I wonder if there is a plan to find a good match for Peony?
Naturally, there is something. Gu Chunzhu sighed quietly, this grinning appearance is really worrying, can't you speak quickly if you have something to say?
Ling Xiao's face was like a bitter gourd, and he begged Gu Chunzhu for a chance, Mrs. General, I beg you, can you give me a little more time so that the old lady doesn't marry Peony?
Gu Chunzhu slowly picked up the teacup and blew lightly, and took a sip while sticking to a small point. After putting down the teacup, she looked at Ling Xiao seriously and refused forcefully, Forgive me for not being able to agree to your request.
Ling Xiao clenched his palms painfully, his nails sank deeply into the flesh, and a little blood appeared in his palms. His eyes were full of red blood, and his eyes were flushed, but his tone had to be calm, Mrs. General, please tell me the reason for your refusal.
Gu Chunzhu stared at Ling Xiao with sharp eyes, Then please tell me honestly first, how long do you need us to wait? Why delay?
After all, Peony is also a serious lady in my general's house, so how can you live in vain because you Ling Xiao is affectionate. Boys' time is wasted, but girls' youth can't be wasted at all.
Ling Xiao wiped his face painfully, for so many reasons, he didn't know where to start. He took a deep breath, My mother...she proposed to the girl from my uncle's house for me earlier, although my uncle didn't like me before, but now he doesn't want to break up the engagement because of my lawyer's practice. .
Because he was afraid that Gu Chunzhu would directly reject him, Ling Xiao immediately picked up the second half of the plot, his voice unconsciously increased by half, But my cousin Xiao Shuang'er already has a sweetheart, and she doesn't want to marry me! So all this is My mother messed up the mandarin ducks, the result of the wishful thinking of the two parents!
Gu Chunzhu tapped the table with his fingers. Although the sound was slight and slow, in such a quiet environment, it fell into Ling Xiao's ear, but it struck Ling Xiao's heart like a heavy hammer, making a dull shock. ear sound.
After pondering for a long time, Gu Chunzhu finally made a three-point comparison, I only give you three months. If you can't handle all the matters, everything will be forfeited.
Thank you, I will definitely do this well! Ling Xiao heard Gu Chunzhu's words and immediately changed the dullness from before, his joy was beyond words, his eyes were full of light, and he repeated the words of thanks over and over.
Gu Chunzhu was taken aback by Ling Xiao's enthusiasm. He supported the low table with one hand, and his body unconsciously shrank back a little, You go to complete your task, and stop talking nonsense to me.
Ling Xiao nodded his head like a garlic clover and responded in a row, and hurriedly left the General's Mansion.
What are you thinking? Gu Chunzhu breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed and sat on the soft couch, and asked casually as he watched a beautiful figure come out from behind the screen.
It turned out that this side hall was divided into two spaces by a screen, and a soft collapse was also placed at the back. Before, Gu Chunzhu specially arranged for Peony to stay behind the screen so that she could observe Ling Xiao's various states.
Peony stood by Gu Chunzhu's side, staring at Ling Xiao's departure direction, still firm and unrepentant of her own thoughts. Ling Xiao was in a lot of trouble, but he was still as affectionate as ever. Although my peony is not very knowledgeable, I know what it means to be rewarded.
Gu Chunzhu picked up the wooden box given by Ling Xiao and handed it to Peony, who held it in his hand without even looking at it.
Hey, come back to your senses, sister, don't look at your lover's figure since long ago. Gu Chunzhu's lazy voice was a little teasing Mudan, and he reached out and snapped his fingers in front of Mudan to urge her Answer your own questions.
Peony lowered her head slightly, her eyes fell on the wooden box, and the tips of her ears were red from shame, Don't make fun of me, Auntie, I don't have any other ideas. Anyway, I have already identified Master Ling.
Gu Chunzhu moved a little bit to the side, patted the soft collapse and let Peony sit beside him. Mudan sat down obediently, and Gu Chunzhu clapped her hand and pointed out those negative things to her earnestly, Mudan, you are now full of love and water, but marriage is not about the two of you. According to my observations and Understand, mother Ling doesn't necessarily like you, so she won't be so
accept you.
Peony listened carefully to Gu Chunzhu's analysis of the delicate relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and only then did she understand some of the operations behind the various frictions between Gu Chunzhu and Mrs. Su before. Although Peony was a little worried, she was still willing to trust Ling Xiao.
I think Master Ling is capable of coordinating my relationship with his mother, and I'm willing to wait.
But it's definitely not the best thing to tie everything to others, and the risk is quite high. If Ling Xiao changes his mind, your life in the Ling family will change dramatically.
Peony is not very worried about the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but she is not too confident that she can make Ling Xiao like her all the time. Gu Chunzhu's words still shook Peony's determination a little. She clenched Gu Chunzhu's hand and asked her for help, Then what should I do? Besides, aren't all women in the world attached to men like this?
Who said it is? I'm not completely dependent on Brother Wang, I also have my own career. Gu Chunzhu proudly held out his chest.
