Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and her expression was calm and collected.

She has a calm and elegant ladylike demeanor.

She held her wide sleeves with one hand and wrapped the handle of the kettle on the small red clay stove with a cloth with the other hand, then lifted the kettle and poured water into the teapot beside her.

In an instant, the room was filled with the fragrance of tea.

"What's so delicious about tea? It's astringent. Big sister, try eating a purple fruit. It's very sweet." Another pretty girl said.

Sun Li's old wife, Mrs. Fan, the old lady in the mansion, looked at the two sisters with a smile in her eyes.

Just thinking about what the old man said before, I felt uncomfortable.

It’s not like her granddaughter from the Sun family can’t marry into a rich family. There are many good-looking men in Kyoto, and her family can pick any one of them.

But the old man wanted to marry his eldest granddaughter Xiuduan to the Gu family.

My grandson Jingyan is very ambitious. If he is the one to marry, then that's fine. After all, it's good for the family.

But she had never even heard of the names of the two young men from the Gu family.

It's a bit hard to marry her.

She couldn't help but ask her granddaughter slowly, "There's no one else here. Tell grandma that you really want to marry into the Gu family voluntarily?"

Sun Xiuduan put on a perfect smile and placed the old lady's teacup on the kang table in front of her.

"Grandma, it was my granddaughter's own free will. Grandpa loved me, so he naturally didn't force me. The same was true for my father and mother. If I had said no, there wouldn't be an imperial decree granting marriage today."

"My granddaughter is not young anymore, and it's time for her to get married."

Mrs. Fan patted the back of her granddaughter's hand and said, "There are so many princes and nobles in Kyoto. Take your time to find them. There is no rush."

"Grandma, please don't say such things, the imperial edict has come down.

Besides, my granddaughter thinks the Gu family is not bad. Although I have never met the Third Young Master Gu, I have heard that he is not as ostentatious and decadent as the others. It is okay for him to be a little more pedantic and simple-minded. "

Sun Xiuying, who was spitting grape seeds into her palm, looked at her elder sister with her big watery eyes, "Big sister, what's it like to be a little more naive?"

"Well, that's it..." She thought for a while, "It's a good trick."

"Oh... is it easy to deceive?"

"Correct."

Sun Xiuying laughed at her elder sister, "You are so mean, elder sister. You are thinking about bullying your future brother-in-law before you even get married."

"You just love to talk nonsense." Fan tapped Sun Xiuduan's forehead with her finger.

Sun Xiuduan just smiled with his lips pursed.

-

The announcement of the marriage decree by the Sun family did not cause much stir, as they already knew the truth.

But at Gu's house, everyone, including the Ji family, almost dropped their jaws.

No matter how much Ji guessed, they could not guess what would happen to the Sun family.

Although Gu Jingyan had never had a quarrel with her stepmother, they were not very close to each other.

When he was young, he was mostly taken care of by Old Grandpa Gu. After the old man passed away, he spent most of his time in the military camp.

They come back for the occasion during the four or eight festivals, and on weekdays they come and go, which is harmonious, but it is definitely not the kind of lively harmony.

She twisted Gu Jinghan's hand and pinched it, "I am not dreaming, whose daughter was this gift?"

"The Sun family...hiss, dear mother, this is not a dream, you pinched your son and hurt him."

Ji paused for a while before saying:

"Your elder brother has invested a lot of money to arrange such a marriage for you. The Sun family... what kind of family is that? If you dare to run away again, I will break both of your legs."

Gu Jinghan had already walked a few steps away, "Now that the marriage is settled, you should be relieved, right? I can't be single!

My elder brother is really something. He found someone with such a big background. Do I have to hold my head up high when talking to others from now on?"

Ji stabbed her with a knife: "Even if I ask you to bring her water to wash her feet every day, you have to bring it to her with a smile!"

Gu Jinghan: "...Are you my biological mother?"

Which stepmother would leave her own son to be raised by her stepson?

The eldest brother is a good brother, and the mother is a good mother, but he just doesn’t seem to be having a good time.

Ji: "It doesn't matter if I'm your biological mother or not, what matters is that you marry her back to me honestly!"

Gu Jinghan ran away in a flash, "My son has gone to school."

Just marry him. After he gets married, his mother will no longer have to look at him with a nose that is not a nose and eyes that are not eyes every other day.

Holding the imperial edict granting marriage in her hands, Ji was accompanied by a group of servants to the Gu family ancestral hall to burn incense and offer sacrifices in order to inform their ancestors of the news.

The second young master's wife, Mrs. Wu, looked at her mother-in-law's back, then looked at her husband, Gu Jinghao, out of the corner of her eye. "What's the matter? Aren't you jealous? This is a marriage granted by the emperor, and the other party is the eldest granddaughter of the Sun family. She is a lady from a noble family who few people in the circle don't know. Your third brother is really lucky, isn't he?"

Gu Jinghao frowned slightly and said strangely:

"Why are you jealous? It's not like I haven't been married before. If you say that, then I am unlucky? Did I marry you because I was unlucky? Is there something wrong with you? You are always acting weird, thinking that your mother's punishment is not enough, right? Don't forget that you have to come out today to receive the imperial decree before you are allowed to leave the ancestral hall..."

As soon as the voice fell, the nanny beside Ji turned back from the direction of the ancestral hall and said, "Second Young Madam, the old lady said that you should return to the ancestral hall as soon as possible and continue to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors."

"..." Mrs. Wu's face turned pale. She shook her sleeves and followed the nanny. Before leaving, she did not forget to twist Gu Jinghao's arm hard.

"Alas, nothing is more vicious than a woman's heart." Gu Jinghao grimaced in pain.

Tufu's Mansion

The inner court.

In the main courtyard of the mansion's main house, the eldest lady was sitting on the bed crying, with both sides of her handkerchief wet.

The maid who served her personally tried to comfort her, "Madam, please stop crying. Your eyes are swollen. How can you face people when you leave this courtyard?"

Madam Xiao Fan gritted her teeth in anger, "Xiu Duan, that useless girl, I've said so much to her in vain, what future does marrying into the Gu family have? It would be fine if Gu San was an outstanding person, but he is just mediocre.

You say that girl, is she out of her mind? Let her tell the old man that she doesn't want to get married! It's just a matter of one sentence, but she insists on doing the opposite. "

"Oh, I'm so angry. I'm dying of pain."

The nanny comforted her, "Don't be angry, Madam. Our young lady must have thought about this matter over and over again. She probably has her own ideas."

"What does she think? Isn't she trying to leave Gu..."

"Mother!!" A delicate voice from outside the door interrupted the hot-headed little Fan.

She looked back and saw Sun Xiuduan, her eldest daughter.

Unlike her usual gentle and quiet self, her face was pale and her beautiful chin was trembling slightly.

A pair of beautiful eyes stared at her in a trance, as if she didn't recognize her mother.

Xiao Fan's heart suddenly jumped, and she recalled whether she had said something she shouldn't have said just now...
