Mrs. Gu accepted the greetings from the juniors. Looking at Yunxin from the eldest family and her grandson Wanwan, she quickly asked the juniors to bring the two little guys over and tease them. They were both fans. The carved jade doll makes your heart melt just looking at it.

Mrs. Gu touched the cheeks of the two little guys lovingly and said with a smile: "Both these uncles and nephews look like their mothers. Wanwan looks like A Yao, and Yun Xin looks like Xiu Yuan's wife. Ah Yao and Xiuyuan's wives are both very good-looking, and their uncle and nephew will probably charm many little girls in the future. These two little guys probably won't have to worry about their wives in the future. "

Gu Jingsheng said indifferently: "Mom, a man is serious only if he has skills. What's the use of having a good-looking face? The little girl is not sensible. Just look at that face. The little girl's parents are not ignorant."

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to him, and they felt that his mouth was worse than nothing, and there was nothing he said when he opened his mouth.

Gu Jingsheng felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and felt that he seemed to be speaking too directly, and quickly added: "Of course, it is good to be good-looking. What is more important is to educate the children well so that they can be successful in the future."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at him and said calmly: "Whether a child has a future or not, the environment at home will also affect the child. Your husband is the elder, so you must set a good example in the future."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she glanced at Mrs. Zhang in surprise. She felt that Mrs. Zhang's eloquence had improved quite a lot. Of course, that was when she was facing Gu Jingsheng. She would subconsciously speak without thinking to other people, but to Gu Jingsheng She has a very clear heart, probably because Mrs. Zhang doesn't like Gu Jingsheng.

Gu Jingsheng was not smart enough, but he was not stupid either. He heard the implication of his wife's words and his expression changed.

Mrs. Gu looked at the boss and his wife and sighed secretly in her heart. The couple were inseparable when they were young. How did they become like this now?

In order to calm down the turmoil and prevent the younger generation from quarreling, Mrs. Gu said warmly: "What the boss and his wife said are very reasonable. It is good to have good looks, but you must also be promising. Men cannot rely solely on themselves. Looks. You elders, brothers and sisters, must set a good example for Wanwan and Yunxin."

The juniors all responded.

Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Xiuhong, who was sitting under the Chen family. She liked this grandson very much. Xiuhong joined the household department. He was good at work and was appreciated by the superiors. His marriage prospects were getting better and better, so she asked: "Second daughter-in-law, I heard some rumors two days ago that the Minister of Rites is looking at Xiu Hong and intends to marry our family. Is this possible?"

Mrs. Chen replied warmly: "Mom, it is indeed true, but my daughter-in-law declined politely."

Mrs. Gu was very puzzled: "Why is this? I heard that the daughter of the Minister of Rites has outstanding talents and looks like a fairy."

At this time, Gu Xiuhong answered for his mother: "Grandma, my grandson has no intention of getting married yet, so I asked my mother to refuse on my grandson's behalf."

Mrs. Gu said: "Xiu Hong, you are not young anymore this year, you are already nineteen. When your eldest brother was nineteen, he already had Yunxin."

Gu Xiuhong replied: "Grandma, my grandson wants to make a career first, and then consider the love between his children."

Mrs. Chen looked at her son and felt helpless. She didn't want to eat the cakes drawn by her son anymore. She used to say that she would consider marriage after passing the Jinshi examination. After winning the Jinshi examination, she said she would wait for the conferment and enter the court before considering marriage. Now I have already taken a position in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I said that I want to make a career first, and then I can make a career later. Does this mean I want to wait until I reach the position of a high-ranking official before I think about it?

She used to think that her son was so outstanding, he came from a noble family, and he was so good-looking. Her future daughter-in-law did not necessarily have to be of noble birth, but she must have outstanding looks, outstanding talents, dignified and generous, well-educated, and gentle and kind-hearted. To be kind, it is best to be well-matched.

Later I thought, it would be fine if she looked ordinary. Women don't need to take the imperial examination, and they don't need to be talented. They just need to be able to read and write. Good character is a must. The daughter of a small official's family is fine, as long as the other party's family is not bad. Peace of mind and family harmony.

Now, she was thinking that from now on, her daughter-in-law would be a girl, a dignified and gentle girl with a kind nature.

Mrs. Gu didn't know what Chen was thinking. She was very pleased to hear her grandson's answer, but she didn't agree with his words very much. She said: "Xiuhong, it's a good thing that you want to make a career, but this won't delay you. Get a wife, and when you have a good wife, you will be able to serve the country with more peace of mind."

Gu Xiuhong said: "Grandma, my grandson is afraid of neglecting other girls." He paused, looked at his third uncle and his aunt, and then continued, "Grandma, my grandson also believes in fate, just like my third uncle and aunt, Even if fate comes, it can't be stopped. My grandson doesn't have this idea now. This is probably because fate has not yet arrived. "

After Mrs. Gu heard this, her heart immediately turned to her grandson. She also believed in fate. In the past, her son was injured and the Mei family broke off the engagement. However, there were other families who were willing to marry their daughters, but the son did not want to marry. Later, Ayao , obviously the wedding day was so ridiculous, but my son still agreed. This is the fate destined by God.

She said to Gu Jingsong and Chen, "You and your wife don't have to worry. Xiu Hong's fate has not come yet. If you force him to marry, you might even harm a young couple."

Gu Jingsong and Chen are both enlightened parents, otherwise how could they care about their son's wishes? If there is a good marriage, it has already been decided for the son. When the elder said this, the couple responded repeatedly: "Mom, don't worry, the son/daughter-in-law understands."

After leaving Shou'antang and returning to the second room, Mrs. Chen and Gu Jingsong stared at their son standing in front of them without blinking.

Mrs. Chen asked: "Xiu Hong, tell me, what kind of wife do you want?"

Gu Xiuhong still said the same thing: "Mother, my son has no intention of starting a family now. He will first build a career and then think about marriage. Look at the third uncle, he didn't get married until he was twenty-nine, and his son is only nineteen now. Why are you so anxious?"

Mrs. Chen asked again: "Then when can your father and I have a grandson?"

Gu Xiuhong gave her a bad idea: "My son can't answer this question, but if my mother wants to raise a child, why not work hard with my father while you are not too old to give me a younger brother or sister? Thirty-five There are women who are 20 years old and can be pregnant with children.”

Chen: "..."

Gu Jingsong: "..."

This is really their filial son. At such an age, they are still bothering to have a child. It would be okay if they don't get pregnant. If they do, others will laugh at them. The man will be said to be getting stronger with age, which is fine, and the woman will be. They even have a granddaughter. How shameful is it to have a child younger than their granddaughter?

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Chen said: "Husband, in the future our Xiuhong may be like his third brother. In the future, Xiuhong's son will probably be younger than his grandnephew."

Gu Jingsong was silent, and after a moment he said to his son: "Since the fate has not come yet, I won't force you, but you have to hurry up so that I can see my grandson in my lifetime."

Gu Xiuhong raised the corners of his lips imperceptibly and responded warmly: "Don't worry, father, I will do it."
