Chapter 166 The girl next door who covets Gu Qingyu
After Gu Qingyu finished refining his magic weapon near the Southern Wilderness, he hurried back to the Gu Mansion.
Aunt Liu prepared a sumptuous dinner for her son. She looked at the handsome Gu Qingyu with a smile on her face.
My son has been exhausted from studying at the academy recently, so he needs to eat more to replenish his energy, so Aunt Liu gave him two chicken legs.
Gu Qingyu smiled at Aunt Liu and buried his head in his food, as he was really hungry.
The three of them sat around a carved rosewood dining table, with eight plates of delicious food and a bowl of milky pigeon soup.
The dishes closest to Gu Qingyu were, in order, bright red prawns, colorful stir-fried yams, fragrant sweet and sour spareribs, and spicy boiled fish...
Gu Qingyu was holding a crab shell in his hand. He broke it open and the crab roe inside gave off an enticing sweet aroma.
The delicious taste lingered after one bite, and Gu Qingyu ate two eight-inch fat crabs in a row.
The delicious crab meat flowed around his lips and teeth. Gu Qingyu wiped his hands with a towel and picked up a piece of pork ribs.
Gu Qingyu smiled at Aunt Liu. The spareribs made by his mother were soft, glutinous, sour and sweet, which was very appetizing.
He ate a bowl of millet rice... cleanly, and had the second bowl of rice with spicy and delicious boiled fish.
Gu Qingyu's lips turned red from the spicy fish soup. He drank half a bowl of pigeon soup, and Gu Qingyu took two sips of juice.
He felt the burning spiciness in his mouth gradually subside.
Aunt Liu smiled and shook her head. Her son still couldn't eat spicy food, so she used a serving chopstick to add sea cucumber and melon slices to the child's food.
Daddy Gu Yinan sat at the head of the table and ate for a while. He then said to his son:
"The Flower Festival is coming soon, and you students are going to compete... How are your preparations going?"
Aunt Liu looked at the father and son and silently ate half a bowl of soft and glutinous millet rice.
Aunt Liu's jade-white fingers were pinching the shiny red ribs. She was gnawing on the ribs with a look of satisfaction on her face. Aunt Liu was thinking in her heart...the lady of the Shang family told her...that her daughter Shang Meiyu liked her son Gu Qingyu.
How should she tell the kid about this? The charming Aunt Liu, her crescent eyes were filled with love and doting for her son Gu Qingyu.
Her husband, Gu Yinan, was eating like a glutton, which made Aunt Liu curl her lips.
After so long, my husband still feels that every bite he eats is extremely sweet.
The aroma of meat mixed with the delicious seafood wafting through the house formed an appetite-stimulating aroma. The servant Min Liu smelled the meat in the next room and swallowed his saliva. Min Liu thought that the young master had just returned, and he would tell him about the interesting things that happened in the Southern Wilderness recently.
The maid Hongyu was tidying up the bedding in the lady's bedroom. After folding the two purple quilts, Hongyu smoothed out the blue silk mattress embroidered with albizzia flowers.
Hongyu used a rag to wipe the carved headboard and the table and chairs. After she finished, she swept the floor and put the fruit plate on the table.
The maid Hongyu closed the vermilion lacquered carved door and walked into the yard.
In the spacious dining hall, Gu Yinan was thinking about something and eating the food very quickly.
A person came in from outside the door.
The maid Luzhu, dressed in green, said to Gu Yinan:
"Master, Master Li from next door is here to visit you, and he brought his daughter Li Yueyue with him..."
Gu Qingyu's eyebrows jumped. Why did the crazy girl next door come here again?
He warned his father:
"If Master Li says that his daughter will marry you, and if I dare to take the initiative to agree, I will run away from home and never come back."
Gu Qingyu's voice was as cold as ice, and he had a cold face...looking at his silly father unhappily.
Aunt Liu smiled secretly...
Gu Yinan stammered, "I won't agree...I absolutely won't agree. Son, don't mention this again. Whoever you like, dad will agree."
Son Gu Qingyu thought...
'My master is devoted to cultivation, so he has no time to think about love affairs, let alone get married.
Gu Yinan wiped his mouth and left the dining hall. He was wearing a brown brocade robe with floral patterns and a jade crown on his head.
He went to the front hall to meet Mr. Li. The two exchanged greetings for a while. While drinking tea, Gu Yinan looked at the daughter of the Li family. She lowered her eyes to look at the teacup. The girl had a round face and thin eyes. She was wearing a pink and purple glutinous skirt with a dozen blue butterflies embroidered on the hem. She blinked a little nervously.
Li Yueyue wondered in her heart whether Gu Qingyu was at home or not, why didn't he come out to see her.
Li Yueyue couldn't help but feel a palpitation when she thought of Gu Qingyu's beautiful face that was hard to tell whether it was male or female.
Li Yueyue is thin, and her eyes and eyebrows reveal a petty look. She stands out against the handsome Mr. Li and the virtuous Mrs. Li.
Their daughter did not inherit their good looks. Her eyes looked more like those of the family's servant, Mrs. Lin.
No matter how beautiful the dress was, they felt it didn't look right when Li Yueyue wore it.
The aroma of tea...
Li Yueyue stole a glance at Mr. Gu. His handsome appearance made him look like a man in his thirties, but Gu Yinan, who was already in his forties, looked very young.
The two masters talked about the bird that Gu Yinnan gave to the Li family, and some interesting stories. Master Li couldn't hold back.
He said to Master Gu:
"Your son is a handsome man, and my daughter admires him. I wonder if our two families are destined to be together?"
Gu Yinan...
The brat was so good at predicting things. The Li family actually wanted to marry his son. He smiled and said:
"The child is still young and hasn't passed the imperial examination. He doesn't want to get engaged for the time being."
Gu Yinan looked at Li Yueyue with a complicated expression. This girl doesn't look like her father at all. Her mother is a beauty.
Mr. Li drank so much liquor back then to find out how many flaws his daughter had when she was born.
The maids in my own family are nine points prettier than this girl from the Li family.
Gu Yinan sighed inwardly.
Mr. Li frowned and said, "Marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers. If your son has no objection, we can get engaged next year."
moment…
The smile on Gu Yinan's face froze. He paused and said:
"My son is devoted to cultivation, and he has no intention of getting married. We cannot delay your daughter's marriage."
Li Yueyue...
It was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head. The Gu Qingyu that she had been thinking about so much turned out to be just a distant moon in the sky?
Mr. Lee...
I'm so angry. My daughter likes your son, but Mr. Gu is taking advantage of her. Forget it, the kid from the Lu family will be fine too. I'll go to the Lu Mansion and try it later.
Mr. Li said goodbye to Gu Yinan, and he walked out of the Gu Mansion with his daughter Li Yueyue.
Li Yueyue looked at the guards' vigorous steps and their tall figures with broad shoulders and narrow waists.
She was shocked!
What kind of airs does an exiled general have?
