Chapter 1014 Chapter 1014
The two of them sat in the side room and watched the medicine boiling on the stove. It was boiling, but it still needed to simmer for a while.
The maids all tactfully withdrew outside, leaving only Gu Miaofeng and Song Guanzhou.
Gu Miaofeng has always liked Song Guanzhou. She knows that she has a good and straightforward personality and is never one to gossip, so she said a few more words.
"In my opinion, this marriage should really be called off."
Song Guanzhou glanced sideways and said, "Uncle Mei's family and Second Aunt are siblings. I heard that their family is also very honest and upright. Sister Shuyu has a strong personality. If it were another family, they might not be so comfortable."
He said he was strong-willed, but in fact he was overly proud.
Gu Miaofeng shook her head. "When my cousin from the Mei family came to the mansion to apologize, I started to feel unhappy. Although my cousin is handsome, his temperament is not as simple and mellow as that of the eldest son of the Mei family. After living in the mansion for a while, he is not as studious as the eldest son. This third son prefers to go out and play."
Pei Shuyu values her husband's ability.
At first glance, although my third cousin is a somewhat serious person, he is often inflexible. Not only is he often offensive in his words, but he also likes to hang out with some drinking buddies to eat, drink and have fun.
The more Pei Shuyu looked at it, the more displeased he became.
On weekdays, when Mei Jia Sanlang entered the inner house to pay his respects to Mrs. Mei, he would occasionally meet Pei Shuyu. He was not very happy about Pei Shuyu, as marriage was a major matter that mostly depended on the arrangements of parents and matchmakers.
Even if I don't like it, my family background is here.
There is absolutely nothing wrong in marrying her as your principal wife.
Therefore, Mei Jia Sanlang treated Pei Shuyu no differently from his other cousins. Instead, he went out to play with her, and the news of her secretly playing in brothels reached Pei Hua's ears.
Pei Hua mentioned this to his wife and expressed his concerns about this marriage.
Gu Miaofeng now mentioned the general situation to Song Guanzhou, "That Sanlang of the Mei family is also a playful person, and Shuyu is so stubborn, ah!"
After hearing this, Song Guanzhou stretched out his slender white fingers and leaned towards the stove to keep warm.
After pondering for a moment, he finally expressed his thoughts, "Marriage is a major event in life. It's understandable that Second Aunt is planning for the girl. She thought about going to Uncle Mei's house to strengthen the relationship and she thought she wouldn't be bullied. But if a couple doesn't get along from the beginning and is forced to stay together, I'm afraid it will be Sister Shuyu who suffers."
What's more, character is more important.
Of course, Song Guanzhou didn't dare shout in front of Gu Miaofeng that inbreeding was unacceptable!
What she said was from the bottom of her heart.
Gu Miaofeng listened and nodded repeatedly, "Guan Zhou and I agree. We don't have to be blood relatives to be good in-laws. I think so, but I dare not say it too much, otherwise mother will suspect that I am preventing Sister Shuyu from getting married and living a good life."
"If Sister Shuyu wants to cancel the engagement, please report it to Second Uncle and Brother Hua. I'm sure even Uncle Mei will understand your painstaking efforts."
Gu Miaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "Our wife looks like a gentle and polite elder, but Shuyu is a spoiled girl she got at an advanced age. When she heard that Shuyu wanted to break off the engagement, she was so angry that she vomited blood—"
Too angry!
Song Guanzhou frowned, "Sister Shuyu is a girl with her own plans. If Madam pushes her too hard, I'm afraid it will backfire."
Gu Miaofeng nodded, her eyes and face full of worry.
"Luckily, I came home in the next couple of days. Otherwise, I really couldn't bear it. My wife has recovered, but my sister Shuyu is trying to commit suicide again..."
She was exhausted, having to serve and manage the household.
Unfortunately, no matter how much she had in her heart, she could only confide a few words to Song Guanzhou. Song Guanzhou felt quite sympathetic towards Gu Miaofeng and said, "This matter depends entirely on my second uncle."
Should I retreat or continue...
A girl's life was so lightly entrusted to her father. If her father was a responsible person, there would be some hope. But...
Pei Xian himself was a playboy who only loved mountains, rivers and women throughout his life.
As for Mei Sanlang taking in a maid before getting married, perhaps in Pei Xian's eyes, it was not a big deal at all.
This is also the reason why Pei Shuyu made a fuss.
She wanted to convince her mother first before she could convince her father.
But Mrs. Mei thought that if her daughter missed out on this marriage with the Mei family, it would be even harder to find a suitable partner in the future. She was so hesitant that the wedding date was almost set, but she turned around right on the threshold. Who knew if this would be a blessing or a curse?
At noon, they declined Gu Miaofeng's invitation to stay for dinner and returned home to celebrate the New Year's Eve with the cleaning and sacrifices. Each family was busy with their own affairs.
But on the way back, it was unusually silent.
After Qi Yueniang made the arrangements, they reached a fork in the road. The four of them took three different paths and returned to their respective rooms. Not until they separated from Pei Chen and Qi Yueniang did Song Guanzhou approach Pei An and mutter, "This kid from the Mei family, I really underestimated him!"
Pei An helped her down the stone steps and said, "In my opinion, this marriage is not worth it."
Huh?
Song Guanzhou raised his head and smiled faintly, his eyes full of Momo's charm.
"Later, I went to look at the medicine furnace with Sister Hua, and I didn't hear you mention it. Could it be that you also said the same thing to Second Aunt?"
Pei An frowned and nodded slightly.
"Second brother said so, but Second Aunt still feels reluctant to give up this affection. However, Second Uncle and Big Brother Hua are here for this matter, so we don't have to worry about it."
"I think marriage is a serious matter, and there's no need to force it. A woman's life is not easy. Look at that boy from the Mei family. He's not sincere at all, and he's trying to be a hero and save the beauty. Humph! There have been many blizzards this year, and there are many women who have sold their bodies among the victims. Why didn't he save them all?"
Just a few words, full of anger.
Pei An was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when hearing this. "My wife is actually standing up for Sister Shuyu."
Song Guanzhou waved his hand, "Don't let your cousin hear this. She has always thought that I am not a virtuous woman and would not tolerate my dear Silang taking a beautiful concubine."
Dear Silang smiled so hard that his eyes curved when he heard this.
"Why take a concubine? My wife and I are equals, and we love each other so much that countless others envy us. Why do you want to ruin such a beautiful thing?"
If he really takes a concubine, the peace of Shaohua Garden will no longer exist.
Song Guanzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't tell others that you didn't take a concubine because of me." Don't take all the good reputation on yourself and let the woman take the blame.
Pei An laughed dumbly and denied it repeatedly, "Of course not entirely. Taking a concubine would make my wife unhappy, and it would also be hard for me. That's the first reason. Secondly, I'm afraid there won't be another Song Guanzhou in the world. It's hard to be dazzled by the sight of so many flowers."
Song Guanzhou listened, thought for a moment, and sighed, "I feel the same way."
Ok?
Pei An was puzzled. "What do you mean, my lady?"
Song Guanzhou looked up at him intently. He was twenty-three or twenty-four years old, at the best of his life, with white teeth and red lips, fine clothes and a handsome horse.
She is good-looking and has a bright future.
"Without you, there's probably no other man in this world who can catch my eye."
