The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

It's late at night and people are about to take a rest.

Meng Jinyao was lying on the bed. In the summer, the bed had been replaced with a jade mat. The jade mat was not made of jade, but a mat made of bamboo, which could lower the temperature. Lying on it would make sleeping more comfortable in the summer. The windows were also open, allowing the summer wind to blow in to dissipate the heat. I mean, I don’t need to put ice in the room to cool down and I don’t feel hot.

While Gu Jingxi had not come back from taking a bath, Meng Jinyao thought for a while and moved her body to lie down on Gu Jingxi's position. Gu Jingxi hadn't come back yet anyway. She took a moment to cool down and felt the warmth from the jade mat. She felt comfortable. You have to squint your eyes.

Not long after, Gu Jingxi came back and found that the little girl on the bed had fallen asleep, and she was still sleeping in his place.

The little girl was still wearing a light silk shirt, and even the color of the little clothes underneath could be clearly seen.

When he saw it, he looked away uncomfortably, but he didn't dare to cover the little girl with a quilt. The last time he covered her with a quilt, the little girl woke up from the heat and got angry with him, accusing him of disturbing her dream.

They are a couple who want to spend a lifetime together, so there is no need to be overly restrained. Closing the door is normal as long as they are a couple.

However, the little girl is sleeping in his place now.

Gu Jingxi thought for a moment, got on the bed, picked him up gently, and prepared to put him in the position where the little girl had previously slept.

But Meng Jinyao was still awakened. When she suddenly opened her eyes, she found Gu Jingxi holding her and asked blankly: "Husband, what's wrong?"

"Madam slept in my place."

Gu Jingxi said and gently put the person down.

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then quickly remembered what happened, and said sarcastically: "I just lay there, but I didn't expect to fall asleep so quickly."

Gu Jingxi said: "No problem."

Meng Jinyao suddenly remembered something, raised her head with her hands, and said, "Husband, I have something to discuss with you."

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "Madam, please speak."

Meng Jinyao said: "The grain and oil shops in the north of the city are not very profitable. There are three grain and oil shops there, which have taken away customers, so the business is average. I am thinking of changing it into a liquor shop. There happens to be no liquor shop on that street. Husband What do you think?"

The shop in the north of the city has an average location and is not large. It is just a small business and is not very important to Gu Jingxi.

Therefore, Gu Jingxi agreed without thinking: "Madam can make the decision, but has Madam thought about which house the wine will be purchased from?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "A-Ning's future mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen, her natal family is a merchant and owns a winery. Plus, she has a relationship with An-Ning. I think it is reliable to purchase goods from there."

Gu Jingxi nodded lightly: "As long as Madam has an idea, just do as Madam said."

-

Shou'an Hall.

The younger members of the family went to pay their respects to Mrs. Gu.

Today is not a holiday, so to greet Mrs. Gu, the three Gu Jingxi brothers went to their official offices to be on duty.

The eldest son Gu Xiuyuan and the second son Gu Xiuhong went to the academy. Although the eldest son was already married at the age of eighteen, as long as he had not passed the imperial examination and was still on his way to the imperial examination, he still needed to go to the academy to receive instruction from his teacher.

Mrs. Gu saw that her son and grandson had left, and her gentle eyes fell on her two granddaughters. Although they were not her biological granddaughters, they had grown up under her own watch, and they were also quite concerned about the affairs of the younger generation.

The two granddaughters are the same age and have already grown hair. However, Xuanyi, who went to the Dafang family in March, is slightly older.

Mrs. Gu looked at her two granddaughters who had grown up to be tall and graceful. She knew the temperaments of both granddaughters. The eldest granddaughter Xuan Yixin was as tall as the sky and her eyes were as high as the top. She was spoiled by Mrs. Zhang to be willful and domineering. The second granddaughter was spoiled and domineering. Xuan Ling was born as a concubine. Although the second daughter-in-law did not treat her harshly, she was timid and timid due to her background and was often bullied by her eldest granddaughter.

But in general, the eldest granddaughter is not a heinous bad person. Apart from bullying Xuan Ling, she has not actively harmed anyone. It's just that the parents did not discipline her well and raised a good child in a bad way. If she doesn't experience something in the future, I'm afraid I can't change my temper.

After a while, Mrs. Gu withdrew her gaze and said warmly: "Xuan Yi, Xuan Ling, please go back first."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuanyi and Gu Xuanling knew that the elders had something to talk about, so they obediently agreed and left Shou'an Hall.

Later, Mrs. Gu also dismissed the serving maids, leaving only Nanny Feng and her three daughters-in-law.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Mother, do you have something to discuss with us?"

Mrs. Gu said warmly: "The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, the two children Xuan Yi and Xuan Ling have grown up. At the age of marriage, do you mothers have any suitable candidates?"

Mentioning this, Mrs. Chen immediately said: "Mom, my daughter-in-law has been paying attention to Xuan Ling's marriage this year. Now she has also fallen in love with a scholar. She is thinking of taking Xuan Ling to see her in a few days."

Mrs. Gu looked at Mr. Chen: "Which family is the young master from?"

Mrs. Chen replied: "He is the only son of the Prime Minister of the Imperial Academy. I heard that he is a young man with good appearance, good morals and academics. He is very motivated, and the Liu family is simple, with only three members in the family, and the family also has a small income."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Zhang glanced at Mrs. Chen, pursed her lips imperceptibly, and felt very disdainful in her heart. The Imperial Academy is just an eighth-grade official. After all, she is not her biological mother, so how could she care about finding a concubine for her? A good in-law? Find someone from a small family and give him a dowry to get rid of the problem.

However, Mrs. Gu felt a little satisfied after hearing this. The second granddaughter was timid and cowardly, and she was born as a concubine. It was not a good thing to marry a concubine from a well-matched family. Marrying a concubine with a lower family background and a simple population was not a good thing. It's good to have bad things. Even with the family status of the Changxing Marquis Mansion, even the lower-ranked husband's family wouldn't dare to bully Xuan Ling.

Because her two granddaughters had reached the age of proposing marriage, she had also paid attention to the young masters of the right age in the capital. She also had a rough understanding of the Liu family. The previous three generations were all scholars. Although their official positions in the court were not high, they were also from a clear family. Mr. Liu His knowledge is not bad, so he is a candidate that can be considered.

She nodded slightly and immediately expressed her opinion: "The Liu family sounds good, you can let Xuan Ling go and have a look."

Mrs. Zhang looked stunned. She didn't expect that her mother-in-law would be satisfied. But then she thought about it, her mother-in-law is also the main wife, how could the main wife like a child born from a concubine? Naturally, she doesn't want her concubine's children to live well. If she has a concubine or a concubine, she will try her best to suppress it and not let the concubine's children steal the spotlight from her own children.

Mrs. Chen responded: "Hey, my daughter-in-law has made an appointment with Mrs. Liu's family to go to the temple to offer incense in three days."

Mrs. Gu nodded lightly and did not continue to ask. She turned to look at Mrs. Zhang: "Boss's wife, have you ever found a husband for Xuan Yi's marriage?"

Mrs. Zhang replied: "Mom, my daughter-in-law has found a few husbands who are quite satisfactory, but we haven't arranged for them to meet each other yet."

Mrs. Gu asked: "Which family are the young masters from?"

Mrs. Zhang talked eloquently, detailing the characteristics and family backgrounds of these young men, and finally said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law's favorite is the prince of Wu'anbo Mansion. My daughter-in-law has also met him. He is a handsome, gentle and polite young man. What does mother think?"

After she said that, she looked at Mrs. Chen with a smug look on her face.

Mrs. Chen met her eyes, curled her lips and smiled, her smile was meaningful, and she thought to herself: This idiot!
