"Well, go and do your work!" Leng Shuang sent the housekeeper away.
As soon as the housekeeper left, Leng Shuang sat on the chair in a daze, "Dad, why are you doing this?"
"Shuang'er, you have grown up. My parents do not ask you to marry into a good family. They only hope that you can live a safe and smooth life and not be like us. Only in this way will we feel at ease. So don't say no again.
If you marry Gu Tingyu, I don't want you to regret it for the rest of your life. We don't need you to sacrifice for us, we just want you to be good."
"But, parents, you can't force me to marry someone I don't like. I already have someone in my heart," Leng Shuang said.
"Who?" Leng Yushan asked, "Are you talking about Gu Tingyu?"
"It's not him, it's another man," Leng Shuang'er said.
Leng Yushan's eyebrows furrowed, "Shuang'er, don't you fall in love with Gu Tingyu?"
"Yes," Leng Shuang'er said.
"Nonsense! You are my daughter, Leng Yushan, and you are the future princess of Daxia Kingdom. How can you like a poor scholar? You are the only princess of Daxia Kingdom. You should marry someone from a similar family. How can you?
Marrying a poor scholar!" Leng Yushan said, "Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the royal family?"
"Dad, I like him, not those who are well-matched. If I have to marry someone who is well-matched, do you think I will be happy? Besides, he is very good to me and I love him very much. This is enough." Leng Shuang said lightly.
said.
"But, he is not worthy of you." Leng Yushan said.
"No matter whether he is worthy of me or not, I just like him. Dad, as you can see, he doesn't care at all whether I am a princess or not. It is my honor that he is willing to marry me." Leng Shuang said.
"You..." Leng Yushan still wanted to speak, but Leng Shuang had already ran out.
"Alas..." Leng Yushan sighed. His silly daughter was too innocent. He must investigate this matter carefully and not let them bully Shuang'er.
Leng Shuang ran all the way to Leng Mansion, and happened to meet Gu Tingyu and Ye Shi coming out together.
"Shuang'er, why are you here?" Ye asked, "Is there anything you need to discuss with your parents?"
"Mom and Dad, why do you have to force me to marry Gu Tingyu? Is our Leng family short of money? We can donate the money to poor students, so why do we have to marry Gu Tingyu?" Leng Shuang said excitedly.
"Shuang'er, don't worry, listen to me and explain to you slowly," Ye comforted.
Leng Yushan also stood up and patted Leng Shuang on the shoulder and said, "Shuang'er, your mother and I are doing this for your own good. We are doing this for your own good. This Gu Tingyu is just a playboy. If you marry him
, don’t think about happiness in your life. Think about it, none of the women around Gu Tingyu are wealthy ladies. After you marry her, I’m afraid your life will not be easy. Can you bear the thought of your sister being ridiculed in the future? "
"No, I just don't want to marry Gu Tingyu." Leng Yushan said.
Ye took hold of Leng Yushan's arm and said, "Dad, stop talking, I won't change my mind."
Leng Shuang turned around and walked back. Suddenly, Mrs. Ye called out to her, "Shuang'er, wait, I have something for you."
"What is it?" Leng Shuang'er turned to look at Ye in confusion.
Ye took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Leng Shuang, "Look at this, this is the wedding date I chose for you."
"Wedding date?" Leng Shuang took the wedding date. The wedding date is on the third day of August, which is still half a year away. "Mom and dad, why are you telling me now?"
"You are still young, and your parents don't want you to know these things earlier. The same thing applies to you now. Shuang'er, since you don't want to marry Gu Tingyu, your parents will promise you and will never force you. But remember,
This wedding must be organized by you, do you understand the difficulties of my parents?" Ye said seriously.
"I understand," Leng Shuang whispered.
"Good boy," Mrs. Ye reached out and hugged Leng Shuang, stroking the top of her head.
…
After Gu Tingyu came back, Leng Shuang's expression looked very disappointed.
"Shuang'er, why are you acting strange today? What's on your mind?" Gu Tingyu asked.
Leng Shuang shook her head, "No!"
"Really?" Gu Tingyu asked, "Then why are you unhappy?"
"Nothing," Leng Shuang continued to shake his head.
"It's really nothing?" Gu Tingyu asked.
"Well, I really have nothing." Leng Shuang said.
"Okay, as long as you have nothing to do, let's eat first. After eating, I will take you to buy clothes." Gu Tingyu said.
"Buying clothes? Why buy clothes?" Leng Shuang was confused.
"You are getting engaged soon, so you have to prepare some new outfits. I will take you to buy clothes," Gu Tingyu said with a smile.
"But..." Leng Shuang hesitated.
"Good boy, don't be stubborn, let's go there quickly."
"All right!"
Leng Shuang finally agreed to Gu Tingyu. She really didn't want to refuse Gu Tingyu's request. Although she knew that Gu Tingyu was doing it for her own good, she still didn't want to refuse him.
"Then let's go quickly." Leng Shuang said urgently.
So the two people immediately walked towards the busiest street market in the town.
Gu Tingyu held Leng Shuang's hand and walked towards a jewelry store.
"The jewelry here is quite beautiful, let's go take a look." Leng Shuang said.
As soon as the two of them stepped in, the shopkeeper greeted them enthusiastically, "Hey, isn't this the prince? You're here! Which girl are you going to choose jewelry for today?"
"Shopkeeper, please help me see which girl these jewelry styles are suitable for," Gu Tingyu said.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper said, then placed several pieces of jewelry on the table and looked at it seriously. Then he looked up at Gu Tingyu, his eyes full of admiration, "Your Majesty, I
I’m sure these pieces of jewelry will be suitable for your daughter-in-law.”
Gu Tingyu smiled and asked, "Oh, then please ask the shopkeeper to help wrap it up and keep the accounts."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
"Let's go for a walk," Leng Shuang'er suggested. Her head was in a mess right now and she wanted to be alone.
"Okay, let's go!" Gu Tingyu held Leng Shuang's hand, and the two of them walked out of the jewelry store.
"Shuang'er, are you feeling unwell?" Gu Tingyu asked worriedly, "Why are you looking so pale? Are you sick? Do you want to see a doctor?"
Seeing Gu Tingyu caring about her so much, Leng Shuang'er felt so warm, "It's okay, don't worry. I just went to bed late last night, so I'm a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest."
"Well, then you go back to your room and rest first, and I will accompany you in the yard," Gu Tingyu looked at her gently and said.
"Well," Leng Shuang said, "you should go back and rest quickly. Your energy has been damaged during this expedition. How can you do it if you don't take good care of yourself?"
After saying that, Leng Shuang turned around and returned to the house. Gu Tingyu sat in Leng Shuang's room for a long time before getting up and leaving.
In Leng Shuang's room, Mrs. Ye was arranging her clothes, "Mother, what are you doing?" Leng Xue asked as she watched Mrs. Ye arranging her clothes.
"Shuang'er is going to marry Gu Tingyu soon. Mother will pack some clothes for her so that she won't be in a hurry then," said Ye.
"Married?" Leng Xue asked in surprise. In just two days, Leng Shuang was about to get married. Isn't this marriage too hasty?
"Yeah," Mr. Ye nodded.
"Mom, why did you decide so quickly? I don't agree." Leng Xue said, "If you don't believe Gu Tingyu, you can test him."
Leng Xue's tone revealed a deep sense of reluctance.
The marriage between Leng Shuang and Gu Tingyu caused an uproar in the capital. After all, Gu Tingyu was the future emperor. How could Leng Xue accept Gu Tingyu marrying Leng Shuang?
"Shuang'er, I hope you can think clearly that this marriage is not a child's play." Ye said.
"Mom, I know, but I..."
"What do you know? You are still young and haven't gotten married yet. Don't waste your time like my mother," Ye said seriously.
At this time, Leng Shuang suddenly knelt on the ground.
Leng Shuang cried and said, "Mother, I have figured it out and I am willing to marry him. I am just afraid that I will not be able to adapt to him after marrying him in the future. The two of us spend less time together and there are many women around him.
Surrounded, I'm afraid..."
"Silly girl, there are many women around him, but you are the only one in his heart," Ye said comfortingly, stroking Leng Shuang's hair.
"Don't worry, he won't dare to bully you when your mother is here, just marry him," said Ye.
"Mom, I understand," Leng Shuang nodded.
…
On the other side, Gu Tingyu also came to the jewelry shop.
"Sir, you are here. Who do you want to choose jewelry for today?" the shopkeeper said attentively.
"My wife," Gu Tingyu said straightforwardly.
"Okay," said the shopkeeper, "please follow me."
"Your Majesty, what kind of jewelry do you want to choose for your wife?"
"Take out the best jewelry we have here, I want to see it," Gu Tingyu said.
The shopkeeper immediately called the waiter, "Bring over all the best jewelry in the store."
The clerk immediately went to pick it up. Soon, the clerk put all the jewelry in the store.
"Sir, look at what kind of jewelry you want," the shopkeeper said.
"I want this pink one. This gold hairpin looks good to me," Gu Tingyu picked up one of the gold hairpins.
"Sir, this golden hairpin was just made today, and I haven't worn it yet."
"I want this," Gu Tingyu said.
After hearing this, the clerk immediately went to get the gold hairpin and handed it to Gu Tingyu's hand.
"Sir, do you need anything else?" the waiter said respectfully.
"No, let's go!" Gu Tingyu said indifferently.
"Okay," the guy nodded and followed Gu Tingyu.
After returning to the yard, Gu Tingyu asked Leng Shuang to enter the room with the box.
Gu Tingyu picked up the pink gold hairpin in the jewelry box and handed it to Leng Shuang.
"Give it to you." Gu Tingyu said.
"Ah..." Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment, "This is too expensive. You can keep it for yourself. I'm not short of money."
Gu Tingyu put the gold hairpin into Leng Shuang's hand, "I know you are not short of money. You can sell this jewelry for money."
As soon as Gu Tingyu finished speaking, Leng Shuang retorted, "No, I won't sell what you gave me."
"In this case, I won't force it," Gu Tingyu said, "Then I'll leave first. I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning, so you can prepare."
"Okay," Leng Shuang nodded, "Then please pay attention to safety on the road."
After watching Gu Tingyu leave, Leng Shuang inserted the golden hairpin in her hand into her bun.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Leng Shuang raised a happy smile on her lips.
The next day, when Gu Tingyu sent someone to pick up Leng Shuang, Leng Shuang took his parents, younger brothers and sisters to the Gu Mansion.
Gu Tingyu personally came to the door to greet their arrival.
Seeing Leng Shuang get off the carriage, Gu Tingyu walked over, "Shuang'er, you are finally here," Gu Tingyu said happily, and then looked at her parents, "Uncle, aunt, hello."
Gu Tingyu stretched out his right hand and shook their hands politely.
"Hello," Leng Tao stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and then let go.
Gu Tingyu took Leng Shuang's hand, and the two of them stood next to the carriage, "Shuang'er, the weather is nice today, let's go shopping together," Gu Tingyu suggested.
"Okay," Leng Shuang nodded, and the two walked hand in hand to the street.
Chapter 45
"This street is the most prosperous place in our town. There are many jewelry shops on the street," Gu Tingyu said.
Although Gu Tingyu has been in this town for three or four years, he has never been here. He only heard that it is very prosperous, and he has never been here to visit.
As Leng Shuang walked, she looked at the products around her and kept asking Gu Tingyu, who answered patiently.
Suddenly, a gust of fragrant wind came, Leng Shuang heard it and turned away, and a luxurious carriage slowly approached.
"Sister," a very handsome man wearing blue brocade clothes jumped out of the carriage.
Leng Yuqing frowned slightly, why did this man look familiar?
"Are you Leng Yuqing?" Gu Tingyu asked doubtfully.
"That's me," Leng Yuqing said.
"Then I'm really honored to meet you. I'm Gu Tingyu," Gu Tingyu said, looking at Leng Yuqing carefully.
"How do you know me?" Leng Yuqing asked strangely.
"I remember you helped me when I was in the capital," Gu Tingyu said, "It turns out you are Miss Leng."
"What do you want from me?" Leng Yuqing said.
"I'm here today to apologize. I was drunk that day and offended you." Gu Tingyu said.
"No need," Leng Shuang said.
"Now I know I was wrong," Gu Tingyu said. "During this period, I have been thinking of ways to make it up to you. Look, this is the jewelry I gave you," Gu Tingyu said, pushing the jewelry box in front of Leng Shuang.
"I know that you live in the General's Mansion now and can't buy jewelry casually, so I specially selected this for you. You have to accept it."
Gu Tingyu said.
Leng Shuang hesitated for a while, then stretched out her hand, picked up the jewelry box, put it in her hand, and then looked at Gu Tingyu: "Let's go!"
Gu Tingyu nodded, and then pulled Leng Yuqing into the carriage.
After the carriage started, Leng Yuqing opened the curtain and took a look at the scene outside, "Where are we going?"
"Wherever you want to go, I will accompany you." Gu Tingyu said.
After being silent for a moment, Leng Shuang said, "Let's go to the outskirts of the city!"
Leng Yuqing was a little strange. Leng Shuang usually didn't like to talk, so why did he take the initiative to invite Gu Tingyu to play with him today?
Gu Tingyu nodded and ordered the driver to drive toward the outskirts of the city.
After arriving at the outskirts of the city, Leng Shuang got off the carriage. Gu Tingyu held Leng Shuang's hand tightly, and then led her slowly towards the depths of the city suburbs.
"What are we doing here?" Leng Shuang asked strangely.
Gu Tingyu looked down at Leng Shuang, "I'll take you to the top of the mountain to see the snow scene today!"
Leng Shuang nodded.
The two of them walked for about half an hour when they saw a snow peak towering in front of them.
"Look," Gu Tingyu said.
At this time, the snow had turned into a vast expanse of white. Looking from a distance, the whole person was shrouded in a layer of ice. If Leng Shuang and Gu Tingyu hadn't stepped on the snow, they would have thought they were walking.
It's on the carpet.
"Wow, the snow scene is so beautiful!" Leng Shuang said excitedly.
Gu Tingyu chuckled and touched her head, "As long as you like it, let's go!"
Leng Shuang nodded.
"Look, there's a waterfall ahead." Gu Tingyu pointed to the waterfall in the distance and said.
"Yeah," Leng Shuang nodded again.
The two men moved on.
"There is a peach blossom forest over there," Leng Shuang said.
Gu Tingyu glanced at her and said with a smile, "Then do you like peach blossoms?"
"I quite like it," Leng Shuang nodded.
"That's good, let's eat under the peach blossom tree today," Gu Tingyu said with a smile, then took Leng Shuang's hand and continued walking forward.
The two strolled into the peach blossom forest. Gu Tingyu pulled Leng Shuang to sit down, then took out food and water and filled the table. "Come on, Shuang'er, have a quick taste," Gu Tingyu said.
"Yes," Leng Shuang nodded, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up the food. When he ate it into his mouth, he was stunned. The taste seemed to be...
"What's the matter," Gu Tingyu asked, "Is it not to your liking?"
Gu Tingyu smiled and then said, "Shuang'er, you are so easy to feed. You actually eat such simple dishes with gusto."
Gu Tingyu didn't eat, but just looked at Leng Shuang quietly. He didn't know why, but now he had the urge to kiss the girl in front of him.
It's a pity that they just met by chance after all. There is no relationship between them at all, and he doesn't want to do anything to hurt others.
Just as Leng Shuang was about to continue eating, several horses suddenly appeared outside the carriage.
The horse's hooves broke through the thick snow and ran towards this side.
The guards outside the carriage stopped the other horses. The horses seemed to be frightened. The horses' hooves raised and splashed snow all over Gu Tingyu and the others. Gu Tingyu looked at the horses in front of him with a gloomy face. He said coldly, "Let them
Walk!"
"Yes!" the guard said respectfully.
Leng Shuang raised her eyes and looked at Gu Tingyu, "I'm going back first!"
"Wait a minute," Gu Tingyu called out to Leng Shuang.
Leng Shuang turned to look at Gu Tingyu.
Gu Tingyu took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Leng Shuang, "Shuang'er, this is your token. I hope you can keep it."
"How come you have my jade pendant," Leng Shuang asked in surprise.
"I saw you wearing a jade pendant around your neck in your hometown, so I kept it for you. Now, give it back to you. This jade pendant is of no use to me, not just you, even me.
, I probably won’t need it in this life!” Gu Tingyu said.
Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu, with a hint of sadness in his expression, "This jade pendant should have been given to your mother by your father. Your mother was an orphan and was later picked up by your grandfather."
Leng Shuang's eyes were red. She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want to mention this matter. Anyway, give this thing back to me now."
Leng Shuang took the jade pendant and left.
Gu Tingyu sighed, "You are still too stubborn. Since you don't want to say it, forget it. I will pick you up tomorrow morning and talk to you in detail then, okay?" Gu Tingyu said.
"Okay, I understand." Leng Shuang said, then turned and left.
"Miss, aren't we going to climb a mountain?" The maid on the side saw Leng Shuang standing there for a long time and couldn't help but ask.
Leng Shuang turned around and said indifferently, "I won't climb anymore. Come back another day."
After hearing this, the maid felt disappointed, but there was nothing she could do.
She also knew that Leng Shuang had begged the master for a long time before he allowed him to go out this time.
She knew Leng Shuang's temper, and Leng Shuang's personality was paranoid and stubborn. No one could persuade her on the matter she had decided, so she didn't dare to speak and just followed behind quietly.
"The scenery here is really beautiful," Leng Shuang murmured.
"It's beautiful," Gu Tingyu nodded.
The two of them walked along the path to the top of the mountain. Leng Shuang's body was not suitable for walking long distances, so Gu Tingyu found a relatively high lawn and sat down.
"Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?" Gu Tingyu asked.
Leng Shuang shook her head. She looked at everything in front of her and suddenly discovered something, "Brother Tingyu, look, what is that?"
Gu Tingyu followed Leng Shuang's gaze and looked over. There was a peach tree over there. The tree was covered with strings of peach blossoms, and the petals were still floating on the branches.
Gu Tingyu frowned, "I remember that there shouldn't be such a big peach tree nearby."
Leng Shuang stood up and said, "This should be the last peach tree. I just heard the sound of peach blossoms, so I walked over. I didn't expect that there was a peach tree in this place."
"Oh, that's it," Gu Tingyu nodded, "I see."
He kept staring at the peach tree, and several familiar scenes flashed through his mind. He seemed to have seen this place before.
Could it be that this is the legendary Peach Blossom Village?
"What's wrong with you?" Leng Shuang noticed something was wrong with Gu Tingyu.
"It's okay," Gu Tingyu said, "Shuang'er, are you hungry? Let me get you something to eat."
Gu Tingyu walked up to Leng Shuang's back and hugged her, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said softly, "If you like it, we can come back every spring or summer in the future."
"If you are free, I can take you around," Leng Shuang said, looking sideways at him, "Anyway, our relationship is now public, and there is nothing to avoid."
Leng Shuang's voice was soft and waxy, and the words she spoke made Gu Tingyu's heart warm, as if wisps of warmth were blowing in from winter, making his originally gloomy mood much more comfortable.
"OK!"
Leng Shuang smiled. She put her arms around Gu Tingyu and pressed her face against his chest. Listening to his powerful beating heart, a sense of happiness surged into her heart.
"I want to eat barbecue," Leng Shuang suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Tingyu with bright eyes.
"Okay!" Gu Tingyu said dotingly.
Leng Shuang jumped up happily. She put her arms around Gu Tingyu's waist and buried her face on Gu Tingyu's chest.
At this moment, Leng Shuang suddenly felt that she was the luckiest girl in the world. Being able to meet such a man, even if he could not stay with her forever, at least he could have this warm happiness.
She also hopes that she can be with Gu Tingyu for a long time.
Although she had no experience in dating, she knew that she liked this man.
After the two of them finished eating, they returned to the inn. When Gu Tingyu sent Leng Shuang into the house, Leng Shuang suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said softly, "Brother Tingyu, can you promise me something?"
"
"What?" Gu Tingyu looked down at her, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Let's not tell our family about us for the time being," Leng Shuang said with her head lowered.
"I'm afraid this won't work," Gu Tingyu said.
"Why?" Leng Shuang asked.
"Because your father has agreed for us to be together." Gu Tingyu said.
"Ah?" Leng Shuang looked at him in shock.
Gu Tingyu touched her hair and said, "Don't worry, I will explain it to your father."
"Okay!" Leng Shuang nodded.
Gu Tingyu pushed Leng Shuang away and said, "I'll go out first and I'll be back in the evening."
With that said, he walked out. Leng Shuang stood in front of the window, looking at the peach forest in the distance. The breeze blew slowly, blowing across Leng Shuang's white face, and a smile appeared on her face.
——
Gu Tingyu rode his horse slowly out of the city. This county was not big, but it was also very lively. The streets were full of people and there were all kinds of hawking sounds.
When Gu Tingyu's horse reached a corner, it suddenly stopped. His eyes were locked on the alley. For a moment, his whole body froze and his breathing became rapid.
He slowly walked towards the alley. All the lanterns in the alley had been extinguished, except for a small lantern hanging on the wall that gave off an orange light.
Gu Tingyu walked to the wall. He raised his hand and touched a portrait hanging on the wall. In the portrait, there was a girl. The girl was wearing a white gauze skirt, with light makeup on her face, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, making her look very special.
sweet.
The girl in this portrait is Leng Shuang, and on the upper left side of the portrait is a line of beautiful small letters: "My beloved Shuang'er".
Gu Tingyu's hands slowly tightened, he clenched his fists, and veins popped out on his forehead.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Tingyu suddenly heard a charming female voice from behind.
Leng Shuang hugged Gu Tingyu from behind, "Brother Tingyu, let's go back," her cheek was pressed against Gu Tingyu's back, her voice was gentle and sweet.
"Okay." Gu Tingyu responded, and the two of them led the horses and headed towards the Prince's Mansion.
Go.
…
It was late at night, and Gu Tingyu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. There was always a cold feeling in his head. It was already early in the morning, but he couldn't fall asleep, so he put on his clothes and got up, intending to drink a glass of water.
There was a pot of herbal tea on the table. He picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp.
He looked at himself in the mirror. The person in the mirror had a handsome and handsome face, with exquisite and three-dimensional facial features, a straight nose, bright red lips, and a pair of narrow and charming eyes. He pursed his thin lips and looked at the bronze mirror with a serious expression.
Gu Tingyu put down the bronze mirror, his eyebrows slightly twisted, he picked up a bottle of wine from the cabinet, opened the bottle cap and took a sip. The strong wine went down his throat, burning his throat, and a fishy smell spread.
to his throat.
Gu Tingyu leaned on the chair with his eyes closed. He felt that his consciousness was getting blurry and his eyelids were extremely heavy. Finally, he fainted next to the table.
When he woke up, he opened his eyes and found himself in a carriage. He looked at the surrounding scene and found that he was in a luxurious carriage.
He sat up and rubbed his eyebrows, and found that he had a splitting headache. What was going on? Was he drunk?
No, his drinking capacity is very good. Even if a group of men fight with him, he will not get drunk. But why can't he remember what happened last night?
Could it be that he was dreaming?
He shook his head and tried hard to recall what happened last night. He was indeed drunk, and it seemed that Leng Shuang helped him leave later.
But why did Leng Shuang appear here?
This doubt was quickly abandoned. He opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside. He found that he seemed to have arrived in the capital.
He frowned and thought for a while, then realized that he had arrived at the door of Gu's mansion.
He turned around and knocked on the wooden board of the carriage, but the partitions of the carriage were too thick and he couldn't hear what was said inside.
He shouted, "Who is it?"
"It's me, I want to visit your master." He lowered his voice and said.
The person inside was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Please wait a moment."
After a while, a woman ran out. She glanced at the carriage and said, "What do you want from my master?"
"I came to see him for something," his voice was low and hoarse, "Please let me know,"
Although Gu Tingyu's tone was calm, he was a little flustered in his heart. He did not expect that he would dream of Leng Shuang, nor did he expect that he would dream of her.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'm going to report to my master now." The woman said and went straight to Mr. Gu's yard.
After a while, there were footsteps, and he heard Mr. Gu say, "Take this young master to the living room and wait while I change my clothes."
"Yes." After the woman said that, she led Gu Tingyu towards the living room.
At this time, Mr. Gu had just finished washing and was about to go to the living room.
He was wearing a purple brocade robe, his hair was tied back with a hosta, and his expression was as cold as ice.
"Father," Gu Tingyu cupped his hands and said respectfully to Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu glanced at Gu Tingyu and said, "Tingyu, are you back?"
"Well," Gu Tingyu nodded, "Father, I want to discuss things with you about our Gu family's business."
"What do you want to say?" Mr. Gu's voice was low.
"It's about my marriage," Gu Tingyu said.
Mr. Gu's eyes fell on Gu Tingyu, with a searching look in his eyes. After a while, he said, "You can decide this matter yourself. Your parents have ordered the matchmaker to tell you that if you don't want to marry, why don't you marry me?"
Father will never force you."
There was a kind of helplessness in Mr. Gu's words.
"Father..." Gu Tingyu was about to say something, but Master Gu interrupted him.
Mr. Gu sighed softly and said, "You are not young anymore. It is time to consider your own marriage. In this case, which girl you choose, your father will respect your wishes. You can make your own decision."
"I understand." Gu Tingyu nodded.
…
Gu Tingyu waited in the living room for a long time before he saw Master Gu walking in slowly. Master Gu was startled when he saw Gu Tingyu. He did not expect that Gu Tingyu would come back so early today.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Master Gu asked.
"I just came back and happened to meet Leng Shuang. She said she sent me back," Gu Tingyu replied.
"Oh," Mr. Gu responded and said, "Where is Leng Shuang? Where is she?"
"She is resting in her room. I have placed her in the guest room. I want to talk to my father alone."
"Okay, let's go to the study." Mr. Gu said and walked towards the study first.
Gu Tingyu followed Mr. Gu into the study.
Mr. Gu sat down behind the desk, and Gu Tingyu also sat down at the bottom.
"Tingyu, do you have any plans in the past few days?" Mr. Gu suddenly asked.
Gu Tingyu raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Gu, his eyes flashing with perseverance, "I plan to go to the frontier to practice in three days."
Mr. Gu nodded and said, "Go ahead. The return date for this experience has not yet been determined. Please pay attention to your own safety."
"Okay, I understand," Gu Tingyu said, "Father, I'm going back first."
After he finished speaking, he stood up.
"Wait a minute," Mr. Gu stopped him, "this thing is for you."
Mr. Gu handed the envelope in his hand to Gu Tingyu.
Gu Tingyu reached out suspiciously, opened the envelope and looked at it, only to see familiar handwriting on the letter paper.
Gu Tingyu smiled, folded the letter and put it in his arms.
"Thank you, father." There was a hint of excitement in Gu Tingyu's tone.
Mr. Gu waved his hand and said, "It is the Gu family's luck and blessing that people like you can appear in our Gu family. You go ahead and be careful on the road." Gu Tingyu cupped his hands and withdrew.
…
Gu Tingyu was not in a hurry to return to his house. He came to the eldest lady's house. When the eldest lady saw Gu Tingyu, she said happily, "I'm telling you, Tingyu, you will definitely come back."
Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "Mom, I have something to ask you."
"What's going on? Just tell me directly."
"Dad has agreed to my marriage to Leng Shuang," Gu Tingyu's voice was very calm as he said, "Dad also said that I will go to the frontier to practice in three days. I wonder if mother can help me with it. I need a
The guard will go with me,"
"Are you going to the border?" the eldest lady asked in surprise.
"Well, I'm going to practice," Gu Tingyu said.
The eldest lady was silent for a while, "Okay, I will help you handle it," she said, then waved her hand to signal Gu Tingyu to leave.
…
The next day, the eldest lady sent someone to call Gu Tingyu over.
When Gu Tingyu arrived at the eldest lady's yard, Leng Shuang was already waiting there. When she saw Gu Tingyu, she hurriedly greeted him.
"You're here?"
"Yes." Gu Tingyu nodded, his expression gentle, as if he had forgotten the cold frost yesterday.

Gu Tingyu smiled and said nothing, and the two of them walked towards the door.
After waiting at the door, Gu Tingyu suddenly stopped, looked back at Leng Shuang, and said, "I have something to tell you."

Gu Tingyu hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "Leng Shuang, are you really feeling unwell?"

Leng Shuang looked at his back with mixed feelings in her heart. She couldn't help clenching her fists and her heart was pounding. She gritted her teeth and followed him.

"Master, please come this way." The maid said respectfully.
Gu Tingyu glanced at the maid, and then followed her outside.
Leng Shuang followed behind.
Gu Tingyu and the maid arrived in front of the carriage. The maid helped him get into the carriage and followed him immediately.
