Red House Spring Fiber

Hearing this, Gu Mao didn't speak for a long time.

He naturally understood the meaning of his sister's words, and he would succeed in the test before his head. Naturally, there were several banquets held at home.If it's in front of him, he must gather his energy and order to take care of it when he is exhausted, but after having his younger sister, Gu Qian, she can take care of these trivial matters.Since it was handled by her, it was natural to ask who was attending the banquet and what their background was.

There was Tao Ming in it, and because of his study tour in the past, the two had a bit of an agreement, and they could be regarded as classmates.Now it's the same subject again, so the natural relationship is different than the other one, and there are quite a lot of contacts.My younger sister got the news before her head, and because of that Miss Lin, she secretly read it twice and inquired from him a few times.

Now that the marriage contract has changed, she is worried in her heart, and she naturally wants to find out a few outside rumors on behalf of the Lin family girl. For internal reasons, she may not want to get back to the old good, and bring this marriage back together.

It's just that aside from this matter, he also wants to stand by his own will and let this marriage go.

However, looking at his younger sister's frowning and anxious face again, and thinking about the poor life experience of Miss Lin, Gu Mao couldn't help but say: "It is difficult to renew the fate today. If you want to ask If you understand, it’s not impossible.”

"Bah! What renewing the fate? Since the Tao family doesn't have the eyes to know people, the wisdom to know people, and the capacity to tolerate people, how can they be worthy of Miss Lin?" Gu Qian couldn't hear such words anymore.Although according to the principles of the world, although Daiyu's family background, appearance, temperament and talent are all a temporary choice, but after all, her parents are not related, her body is weak, and she is a high ranking person in Tao's family. However, in her eyes, people who value these things , is not worthy of Daiyu.Therefore, upon hearing what Gu Mao said, she immediately refuted it with a few words, and said, "Could it be that my brother also thinks that Miss Lin has coveted the Pan family?"

"How could it be!" Gu Mao blurted out three words, then came back to his senses, quickly suppressed his inner emotions, and said again: "I thought you brought this up because you were thinking of some misunderstandings, and resolved these Come on. Now it seems that Miss Yue Lin has no such intentions, and neither do you, but she just wants to inquire about the news for future preparations?"

"Exactly." Gu Qian faded away her annoyance, let out a long sigh, and then raised her brows with melancholy: "Miss Lin is so good, of course someone knows it, so I don't have to worry about it. But she often has it now. Those who walk around outside, if they hear any rumors, wouldn’t they be sad? Besides, they are also afraid that Old Madam Jia has something on her mind, that she is trying to force the girl by scrutinizing her.”

When Gu Mao heard this, his face turned cold, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, and he said, "This matter must be considered. Fortunately, there are still three or four days left in the court examination. I will post a post to invite Tao Ming tomorrow." , it is not difficult to think about it."

What he said was categorical, but Gu Qian felt something was wrong for a moment, and after a closer look, she felt a little doubtful: It's normal for me to be worried, and it's only reasonable for me to be worried for so many years. The person you love must be different.But brother, he is so solemn, it's strange that he only stands on Daiyu's side in his words - he and Tao Ming have also known each other for many years.

It's just that the most important thing is here, so Gu Qian's doubts just flashed by, and she didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, she asked a few questions about tomorrow's invitation, and when she turned around, she asked someone to go to the kitchen and give some instructions.The next day when she got up, she asked those places again, and when she saw that she was ready, she nodded her head.After all, it's just a small gathering, and it's enough to serve fine refreshments with seasonal fresh fruits, prepare some food, and tidy up the house a bit.

Waiting for people to come, Gu Qian waited quietly while flipping through the books in the inner courtyard, not without any anxiety in her heart, she just suppressed everything, and never asked anyone to go over to inquire, until Gu Mao saw off the guests return.She just put the book in her hand on the table, looked up at Gu Mao: "What's the matter?"

Gu Mao dismissed all the maids and women beside him, sat down on a chair, and his expression darkened: "I'm afraid your worries are not without reason? I will share your relationship with Miss Lin with her." Now the situation is a little hinted, but he never explained it clearly. Tao Ming was afraid that he had the same thought, so he explained the inner reasons clearly. The Tao family and the Lin family have known each other for many years, and they knew the Lin family's teaching style. Who knows that the two in-laws of Jia's family also passed the word later, and his family felt that something was wrong, so they asked people to inquire, but what they heard was that the Jia family was talking about their childhood sweethearts and kissing each other. , and the words that Miss Lin and Jia Baoyu were originally in love with each other."

"Who dares to say such a thing!" Gu Qian was trembling with anger, she bit her teeth and raised her eyebrows: "Miss Lin has avoided the Yang family, and she can't avoid these gossips. !” As she said that, she felt a little doubtful again.Why did the Tao family inquire about such news?Ordinarily, there are many people in the mansion who are Mrs. Wang's talents, and the rumors of the golden and jade marriage have long suppressed the word "Bao Dai".

"The Tao family sent people to visit, of course they went to Mrs. Jia's house." Gu Mao hurriedly stretched out his hand to stroke her back, and then sighed: "I think this news was also passed on by someone close to Mrs. Jia. That Tao Now that the family heard this, what else could they say? It was said that Mrs. Yue was so annoyed that she wanted to go to the door to ask for clarification, but she was stopped by Tao Ming. Ms. Lin has nothing to say about her parents' order and the matchmaker's words. The old lady Jia sent people to reveal such news, and her meaning is obvious. If she really came to ask each other, it would hurt Ms. Lin's reputation, and her marriage would be ruined. I think it will continue. Since this is the case, fortunately the marriage has not yet been settled, and it is also a joy for both of us to get rid of it early."

Gu Qian's face turned pale when she heard this, and she was speechless for a long time.She knew Jiamu's temperament very well, and she was afraid that she would go crazy when she saw Baoyu, and that the precious phoenix would be saddened by Daiyu's marriage. So he set up an ambush, and rejected the good relatives of the Tao family - not to mention the others, this Tao Ming can say such a thing, he has a good sense of character.

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she felt that she was full of anger. When she saw the teapot out of the corner of her eye, she simply reached out and turned over a cup. Tell Miss Lin." Having said this, she turned to look at Gu Mao, seeing his gloomy expression, she couldn't help but pause in her heart, and slowly persuaded: "Brother, don't worry about me, and don't worry about this matter. Those things in front of you don't matter. They've all come here, and now I can take care of things slowly. If my brother has the heart, and devotes his mind to the court examination three days later, this is the big deal now."

There is no need for Gu Qian to say this, Gu Mao himself knows it well.If he can't stand the imperial examinations now, get into an official career, and support his family, no matter how much he thinks about it, it's useless.He nodded, suppressed all his thoughts, and only concentrated on studying and sorting out his thoughts.And Gu Qian suppressed her worries, and first took care of the food, clothing and household chores with him, and on the day of the court examination, Gu Mao's mind was clear and bright, and she concentrated on writing and writing, a volume of policy and discussion was smooth and stretched, without any doubts.

When she came back, Gu Qian didn't dare to ask, she just smiled and asked someone to fetch hot water, towel, handkerchief, soup and snacks: "I went to the big clothes outside, and use something first, it will be warmer and more comfortable." Gu Mao responded with a smile, changed into homely clothes after freshening up, sat down with a bowl of silver silk noodles, sweated a little, and then felt refreshed: "There are thousands of good things in Beijing that are used in the morning. After all, they are not as good as this one." A bowl of fine noodles."

"The food I've been used to since I was a child, I can't forget the taste wherever I go." Gu Qian sat beside him, talking about small things, not mentioning the imperial examination at all, only persuading him to eat more Dim sum: "I just ate a cup of ginseng soup and two dim sum in front of my head, how can I stand it?"

Seeing her like this, Gu Mao felt a little funny, stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, and sighed: "You have always loved to worry about others, you are like this with me, and you are also like that with Miss Lin. Don't worry, I feel that the court test went well, and I will take the exam first, and there is no cheating in the exam, so what is there to worry about? The first ranking is difficult, but the second ranking is not worry-free. It is you, who has been taking care of things for me these days, and suppresses my feelings for Miss Lin. Worried. Everything is clear now, you pick a day and invite Miss Lin to Yang’s house to have a party, and explain the bad things inside, so that you can get rid of your troubles.”

He made it clear that Gu Qian blushed, because she spat: "I'm worried about my brother, but my brother laughed at me instead." After saying this, she really relaxed a lot in her heart, thinking about what happened to Daiyu again I couldn't help frowning: "Speaking of Miss Lin, I really don't know what kind of situation she is in. Although sister Zijuan is good, her temperament is honest and stable, and Xueyan has always been childish and not very quick in doing things. Now there are all kinds of incidents, which are embarrassing enough."

After saying this, Gu Qian's worries became more and more serious. She only persuaded Gu Mao to take a rest and go back by herself, and sent someone to send a letter to Yang's house, begging Mrs. Yan to send a letter to Jia's house, and let They are good to get together.

The Yan family also heard a few rumors faintly, and saw that there was not even a single word of marriage between the Jia family and the Tao family, and her heart became more and more clear.Now that she got Gu Qian's letter, she hesitated a little, and then posted a post to invite Daiyu.I didn't want Daiyu to be a little depressed because of the season, and she fell ill herself.Now that I got a post, I can only postpone the day, and I will go in three or five days.

After Gu Qian found out, she had no choice but to wait patiently.Unexpectedly, Daiyu's illness is lingering, she never waited to get together with him, but she won the first place in Gu Mao's list first, and it's the good news that she is now selected as a flower candidate!
