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

Gu Jingxi saw that the little girl looked confused at first, then quickly frowned, not knowing what she was muttering in her heart.

He said bluntly: "Madam, if you have any questions in the future, don't hide it in your heart and make random guesses. Just ask me directly. As long as it is something that I can tell you frankly, I will tell you."

Meng Jinyao was stunned, raised her head slightly, her eyes fell on his clear face again, and asked curiously: "May I ask my husband, what kind of things cannot be said openly and honestly?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "I can't say anything related to official business."

Meng Jinyao looked surprised: "Aren't you allowed to say anything related to official business?"

Gu Jingxi's face paused slightly, thoughtfully, and then added a condition: "It depends on the situation."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao pursed her lips and said "Oh" without interest. Depending on the situation, there are probably many things that cannot be said. For example, what does he think of Gu Xiuming, his ignorant son? You can't ask or tell.

Seeing that the little girl was looking wilted, Gu Jingxi was a little confused. He thought that it would not be easy for a little girl to marry him like this. Taking advantage of his free time, he asked a few more questions: "I am busy with official duties on weekdays, and many times I don’t care about you, but has anyone bullied you during this period and made you uncomfortable?”

Meng Jinyao rolled her eyes at him: "Except for our grown-up family, who dares to make my life uncomfortable?"

When I heard these words, I felt that the little girl was deeply resentful.

However, Gu Jingxi felt that his unscrupulous son was not capable of bullying her, so he smiled and said, "If Xiu Ming bullies you or has any conflict with you, just tell me."

Meng Jinyao regained her interest in talking to him and looked at him directly: "I told you, who will you help when the time comes?"

Gu Jingxi raised his eyebrows: "I will help. I will help anyone who is reasonable."

The answer was expected, and Meng Jinyao was not disappointed. She only said: "My husband is indeed fair and strict, and he is fair in dealing with matters. No wonder he can be appointed as the Minister of Dali Temple."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi smiled: "Madam is well-educated and reasonable, and she is not an unreasonable person. Moreover, Madam is an elder and will definitely not take the initiative to find trouble with the younger generation. Don't you think so?"

His voice was gentle, and his tone seemed to have a hint of coaxing a child, coaxing her to be good.

Meng Jinyao curled her lips, and when she saw him looking at her with gentle eyes, she squeezed out a smile: "Why not? There are not many loving mothers like me, so your son should be filial to her."

Gu Jingxi asked back, "Isn't Xiu Ming your son too?"

Meng Jinyao's smile deepened: "Yes, Xiu Ming is the eldest son of our family."

The little girl had a gentle smile and a gentle tone, just like a loving mother who truly loved her son, but Gu Jingxi could hear the gnashing of teeth. He was helpless and sighed inaudibly: "I am very busy with official duties these days, so if anything happens, I can't be in time." Take care of it, Madam, just take it easy, okay?"

Meng Jinyao's smile remained unchanged, and her eyes were full of innocence when she looked at him: "Look at what your husband said, I'm not a troublemaker, why should I take it easy and not take it easy?"

Gu Jingxi smiled lowly: "Ma'am, please keep it up. My husband has something to do and needs to go out. I won't be back for lunch at noon." After that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Meng Jinyao nodded with a smile: "Okay, husband, go slowly."

-

In that room, after Gu Xiuming left Wei Ruixuan, he went to Shou'an Hall and prepared to pay his respects to Mrs. Gu, but was told by Granny Feng that Mrs. Gu had not slept well last night and was now catching up on her sleep.

Gu Xiuming had no choice but to go back first. Thinking that his father had approved his request, he immediately asked someone to find a matchmaker and go to Li's house.

Li Waner was sent back to her home a month ago. She was happy at first. However, it took a long time and Gu Xiuming did not send anyone to deliver a message to her. She would inevitably get flustered and waited uneasily for more than half a month. Finally, she finally Wait for the matchmaker.

Both of her parents died, and she was dependent on her grandfather. Now that her grandfather has passed away, the matchmaker came to her, and she immediately agreed. After all, she had already given her body to Gu Xiuming, and she was afraid of being reserved and said she wanted to think about it. , the Gu family changed their minds when they were unhappy and refused to let her in.

Taking a concubine is different from marrying a wife. There are no three books and six etiquette, no ceremony, and no marriage certificate. All it takes is a matchmaker visit. If you agree, then choose an auspicious day and carry it to the groom's house in a small sedan chair. You can't go through the main entrance, you can only enter through the side door.

Ten days later was an auspicious day. Gu Xiuming went to ask his father for permission. After receiving his father's permission, he decided to bring Li Wan'er into the house ten days later.

Gu Xiuming wanted to take a concubine in ten days, and the girl was the girl who eloped with him. The news also spread to the first and second bedrooms, which shocked the first and second bedrooms. The first wife had not yet married, so he took a concubine first. What a success How decent?

Mrs. Zhang recently wanted to get close to Meng Jinyao. After learning the news, she went to Wei Ruixuan in person to find Meng Jinyao and make some insinuations.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang seemed to be worried and asked: "Third brother and sister, Xiu Ming wants to take a concubine before he even marries a wife. It's such a big deal. Why don't you and third brother stop him?"

Meng Jinyao smiled lightly and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Zhang calmly. She brought the tea cup to Mrs. Zhang and said warmly: "Sister-in-law, we parents also tried to stop it, but when the child grows up, he has We can’t stop our own thoughts, we can only let them go.”

Mrs. Zhang frowned: "The main wife has not yet entered the door, and I will go in first. How can a lady like this dare to marry him?"

"He wants to cut off his own future. What can we parents do?" Meng Jinyao said, sighing softly, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and we can't care so much. It's just a pity that this cup of daughter-in-law tea, my husband and I are I can’t drink anymore.”

Listening to her sighing and looking extremely regretful, those who didn't know it really thought that Gu Xiuming was her biological son.

The corner of Zhang's mouth twitched slightly, and she thought to herself: When it comes to hypocrisy, you still have to look at Meng Jinyao. Even Chen, who has been fighting with her for more than ten years, can't match her.

She followed Meng Jinyao's words and said, "Then the third brother should be very angry, right? He had high hopes for Xiuming, but now Xiuming has done such a ridiculous thing."

Meng Jinyao answered truthfully: "How can your husband not be angry? But the child is stubborn, and even the elders can't help it."

After hearing the useful information, Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up. This must be because she was disappointed with Gu Xiuming. She even agreed to such a ridiculous thing as Gu Xiuming taking a concubine without marrying a wife. She thought of her mother-in-law asking her brother-in-law to help her study and enter Lingshan Academy. , she was secretly happy, it seemed that her guess was correct.

Seeing Meng Jinyao frowning, as if she was really worried about her unkindness, she sighed: "Hey, sometimes the child becomes stubborn and even ten cows can't pull him back."

"Yes." Meng Jinyao didn't want to continue talking about Gu Xiuming, otherwise she would be unable to maintain her image of a loving mother after talking for a long time, so she changed the subject, "Sister-in-law, try the tea I made first. The temperature is just right. It will cool down later. But it will affect the taste.”

Ms. Zhang nodded lightly, picked up the tea cup in front of her, and took a sip of tea. She warmed the tea into her mouth, and the fragrance of the tea was mellow, swirling in her mouth. Even though she was not a good tea taster, she could still taste good tea and make tea. The level of people is also good.
