Qu Gao ran all the way back to his room. A child came up to him and asked, "Young Master is in a good mood. Didn't I punish you?"
The boy was a servant of the Qu family, his name was Su Jing, and he was two years older than Qu Gao. Since Qu Gao was the only son in the family, the old man adopted an orphan to keep Qu Gao as his companion.
Qu Gao closed the door and said with an smile: "Kneel down for an hour, it was worth it." After saying that, he walked to the inner room, Su Jing followed, and said: "I know why the young master is so happy."
Qu Gao Ming's bright eyes rolled around and he replied softly: "Ah Jing, tell me."
"Young Master wants to use the excuse of the Grand Duke's mourning to not marry the tigress from the Prefect's family." The old man blocked the person who proposed marriage to the Qu family because the prefect Zhang You and the old man had already made an agreement to marry the concubine of the prefect's family to Qu. Gao got married. Although Qu Gao had never met that woman, he heard that she was arrogant and domineering and had no virtue. If she married her and brought her home, it would be a big deal. Although the old man doted on Qu Gao, what could he do with this matter? Everyone agrees. Now that the old man has passed away, as a son and grandson, we should observe filial piety for him, regardless of marriage, and he has fulfilled his high wish.
"Young master, I think you have such a beautiful idea!" Su Jing clicked his tongue twice, his young face full of suspicion: "That is the prefect's young lady, our family cannot afford to offend her, and according to the master's wishes, even If I want you to marry me, you can just go and knock on the door, I have to accompany you as a dowry."
"Oops!" Su Jing was hit on the head and couldn't complain because of the pain. Just when Qu Gao was about to scold him, there was a knock on the door outside, and Su Jing hurriedly opened the door.
"Hello, sir, hello, madam!" Su Jing shouted at the top of his voice, which could be heard in the whole courtyard. Qu Gao frowned slightly and stood up to greet him boredly.
His mother, Mrs. Gao, came forward first, took Qu Gao's arm and whispered to his father, "Your father is in a bad mood. Don't talk back to him." Qu Gao smiled knowingly, nodded, turned around and said, "Mom, dad." What are your orders?"
Qu Yanping looked at his rarely well-behaved son and knew that he was being subdued. He felt much relieved and said, "My parents are here to discuss your marriage with Miss Zhang."
It seemed that the idea was really too beautiful. Qu Gao's face froze. He was about to object. When he looked up, he saw his father's downcast eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. His father had indeed worked a lot these days to deal with his grandpa's funeral. After a pause, Qu Gao asked softly: "Father, mother, the parents should make the decision on marriage matters. The son dare not disobey, but the son wants to know, why is it the young lady of the prefect's family?" Qu Gao knew clearly. , Although the Qu family is from a poor family, but his parents are not people who like to climb high, so what reason is there for him to force himself to marry the concubine of the prefect?
Qu Yanping let out a long sigh, lowered his head and remained silent. When his mother saw this, she said politely: "Son, this is also for your own good. I have a motive for letting you marry the prefect's daughter, but it is just for your safety. In today's world, With such chaos, the barbarians have invaded Chang'an and Luoyang, and something might happen to Xiangyang one day. The fact that the eunuch likes you is also a blessing from your cultivation. If you marry a girl from the eunuch's family, even if you are a concubine, the eunuch will protect you. You are safe."
Qu Yanping remained silent. Qu Gao looked at his mother, who also had a troubled look on his face, and said, "My father and mother are so considerate, and my son is grateful. It's just that the child has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has a seven-foot-long husband. How can I have a husband in this world?" Relying on the principle of a woman's protection?" He is only seventeen years old, and he is extremely handsome and delicate, so calling himself a husband always feels a bit inconsistent.'
Qu Yanping snorted and asked, "Since you know that parents should make the final decision on marriage, why do you say so much about it?"
Qu Gao knelt on the ground with a plop, bowed to his parents, and replied sincerely: "My son knows that both parents are loyal and kind. The Zhang family has a reputation of being arrogant, and she is also the daughter of a prefect. If she is married to the family,
, in the future, if she disrespects her parents and is unfilial to her parents, isn’t it a child’s fault!"
Qu Gao's words came from the bottom of his heart. If you marry from a poor family, as long as you can respect your parents and manage the household well, you will be a virtuous woman. Therefore, what she said was so conclusive and true that Qu Yanping was moved when he heard it.
"Good boy, Dad wrongly blamed you." Qu Yanping helped his son up, thinking that if Ms. Zhang was really as arrogant as the rumors, she would not be able to beat or scold her, and she would even make it impossible for her son to lift him up for the rest of his life. "My child.
I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I am a tall husband. How can I rely on my wife to protect my husband when he is in this world?" After thinking about this sentence, thinking that his son has such a big heart, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. He took a breath and asked.
Said: "Then what are your plans?"
Qu Gao stood upright, with a body shape like a green lotus, a face like jade and white lotus, a high nose bridge, bright red lips, bright brown eyebrows and bright eyes, thin lips slightly pursed, and then spoke again: "The engagement of the prefect's family,
My Qu family can't afford it. We have just passed away, and I am a grandson. It is an excuse not to talk about marriage for three years, but mourning in three months should be reasonable. Parents are concerned about the safety of their children, and the safety of their children.
The father and mother will meet in three months, and the son will prove to the father and mother that he has the ability to survive and protect himself in troubled times. If he cannot prove it, he will marry into the prefect's house and treat the Zhang family as a guest, and there will be nothing more to say!"
Qu Yanping and Mr. Gao saw that Qu Gao was aware of the interests of the affairs, so they naturally agreed, and it was reasonable to observe mourning for three months. After three months, Qu Gaoneng conscientiously tied the knot, and the two of them settled their worries. As for what Qu Gao said
The words that he said he would prove himself in three months were just the arrogant words of a young man, but the two of them didn't take it to heart at all.
