Chapter 148 Mom, Gu Li is 9 years older than Aning, too old
Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Li suddenly remembered that, yes, he had indeed taken advantage.
And it was a huge bargain. The two people were of the same generation, but he was directly upgraded to Qiu Ning's uncle.
Isn't it just a huge bargain?
After figuring it out, Gu Li couldn't help but feel a little amused.
"It seems that I have really offended the little girl this time. Well, starting from tomorrow, at worst, I will come to the Prime Minister's residence every day and give her something different every day. I believe there will always be something that the little girl likes."
Leng Qi asked weakly, "So, General, are you planning to bribe Miss Qiu Ning with gifts?"
Gu Li reached out and knocked Leng Qi on the head, saying:
"What do you mean by bribery? This general is simply trying to please his future wife. What do you know? Go and find out what the little girl likes. If you do your job well, you'll be exempt from this month's training."
Leng Qi instantly perked up when he heard this, and repeatedly assured him, "Don't worry, General. I promise to complete the mission."
Isn't it just about finding out a little girl's preferences? Just give some silver to the servants in the prime minister's mansion. Are you afraid that you won't be able to find out?
However, Leng Qi had miscalculated, because most of the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion were newly bought. The original servants were all scattered everywhere after the Prime Minister's Mansion was ransacked, and some had gone to other mansions to seek jobs.
So I hit a wall for the first time.
That night, after seeing Gu Li off, the Qiu family gathered around the table and began to discuss Qiu Ning's lifelong affairs.
Zhang was very satisfied with Gu Li and was also very happy to see this marriage.
Not only does Gu Li have a status that matches Qiu Ning, he is also good-looking. More importantly, she can see that Gu Li is truly interested in Qiu Ning, otherwise he would not allow Qiu Ning to call him uncle, and the look in his eyes when he looks at Qiu Ning is full of doting.
As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes. Similarly, in the eyes of Qiu Chengde and Qiu Shaoheng, Gu Li had many shortcomings.
For example, he had bad intentions, knowing that he was engaged to the Xiangfu, but he kept it a secret from Qiu Ning. Moreover, on the first day after they returned to Beijing, he took the initiative to propose marriage.
Where can I find such a thing?
Oh, their family was finally reunited, and Qiu Ning didn't even have the chance to show filial piety to his father before he was taken away by another family's pig. Qiu Chengde and Qiu Shaoheng, father and son, felt a little upset no matter how they thought about it.
After all, Qiu Ning is the only legitimate daughter left in the Qiu family.
"In my opinion, Gu Li is a good guy. He's both civil and martial, and he's a favorite of His Majesty. He has a high enough status. He's the only one in the mansion, so he doesn't have to deal with complicated relationships with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sisters-in-law, or sisters-in-law. When Aning marries him, she'll be the mistress of the mansion. This is a rare match, and you two mustn't ruin it!"
Faced with Zhang's instructions, Qiu Chengde and Qiu Shaoheng were speechless.
"Mom, but he is nine years older than Aning. He is too old!"
Zhang glared at Qiu Shaoheng and said unhappily, "What do you know? Only older men know how to care for their wives. Aning is smart and lively, and she doesn't want to stay at home. If I really let her marry a man who has just reached the age of twenty, I would be worried."
Qiu Ning is different from Qiu Yao. Qiu Yao is the type who will do anything to climb the social ladder. She is selfish and cold-hearted by nature.
But Qiu Ning is a kind-hearted person who knows how to repay kindness, which can be seen from her interactions with the imperial concubine.
Such a woman is destined to be unwilling to be ordinary in the future. If the man she marries is too ordinary, Zhang will worry that Qiu Ning will be buried.
"But he's been fighting on the border for years, how could he understand and care for Aning? Mother, you must not be fooled by a few words from others. This is a matter that concerns my second sister's life, so we can't be careless."
How could Zhang not know what Qiu Shaoheng was thinking? It was just that he felt that this matter was too sudden and he couldn't accept it psychologically.
She ignored Qiu Shaoheng and turned to Qiu Ning and asked:
"Aning, tell me the truth, what do you think of Gu Li?"
Qiu Ning was actually distracted the whole time, and was only brought back to her senses when Zhang asked her a question.
She looked up and was immediately met with three pairs of eyes, all staring at her intently. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
As for my thoughts on Gu Li, actually, at the beginning, when I didn't know his identity, I was indeed amazed by him.
After all, I have never seen anyone with such high kung fu skills who can fly directly from a tree to the ground.
Later, when she learned that he had had an affair with Princess Murong Zhi of Prince Yong, she felt a little alienated, and from then on she really treated Gu Li as an ordinary friend.
Or in other words, they are closer than ordinary friends, like Wan Zilang.
Until later, she was chased by an assassin on the street and almost died on the spot. Gu Li once again appeared in time and saved her.
The two also agreed that she would act as a shield for Gu Li, and Gu Li would help her to redress the injustice done to her father and brother.
Now that her father and brother have been successfully rehabilitated and returned to the capital, she should be grateful to him, but Qiu Ning did not fulfill her task of being a shield.
Now it seems that there is no need to use this shield, and the fake will become real.
Qiu Ning asked herself, if she were asked to marry Gu Li, she didn't seem to be opposed to it in her heart, but she always felt that something was missing, a feeling that she couldn't describe.
But compared to marrying a stranger who knows nothing about the relationship, giving birth to children for him, dealing with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, aunt and nephew, or sisters-in-law, etc., Gu Li seems to be a really good choice.
After thinking for a while, Qiu Ning seemed to have made up his mind and said:
"Since this is my grandfather's last wish, I will certainly fulfill it. But if my eldest sister hasn't married yet, then this marriage will fall on her, right?"
Qiu Ning felt extremely disgusted and uncomfortable when he thought about a woman like Qiu Yao marrying Gu Li.
At that time, she didn't realize that she was already jealous subconsciously.
Qiu Chengde nodded and said, "That's right, according to your grandfather, if your eldest sister hadn't married, then this marriage would indeed have fallen on her.
But there are no ifs in this world. Since your elder sister has chosen to follow Prince Yong, she is destined to stand on the opposite side of us in the future. Aning, do you understand what your father means?"
At the end of his speech, Qiu Chengde's face couldn't help but become a little serious.
Whether it is Qiu Ning or Qiu Yao, they are the flesh and blood of his hands, and it would hurt to give up either of them.
But Qiuyao has made her choice and there is no turning back, so Qiuning must not follow in her sister's footsteps and choose a hell of a place.
After hearing this, Qiu Ning's face also turned stern.
It seems that my father also knows that Prince Yong is not as harmless as he seems.
Now that his father was on guard, Qiu Ning felt much more at ease.
She herself also wanted to know whether Prince Yong could finally reach the supreme position in this life without the support of the Guo family and the help of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
