Chapter 2 Secretly looking at each other

Mrs. Guo, who was going to see her, was in her son Guo Pu's room at this time, and she withdrew the girl to talk to her son.Guo Pu is a tall young man who sleeps on the bed covered with a thin quilt and can feel his long legs.Because of the serious injury, Guo Pu recuperated in the army for three months. When he could move, he had to go home to recuperate.Otherwise, the army will hear the neighing of the horses and the soldiers will laugh.General Guo, who couldn't move, was very sad.

"Son, mother can't swallow this tone. It's been two years since I made an appointment with Mrs. Jinglilu's family to marry you. When they saw you were injured, they withdrew the marriage, saying that the girl didn't want to." Madam Guo raised her brows and spat. Said: "My son is recuperating from illness, mother can't let you be so angry. Mr. Lu is in Beijing, and his rank is equal to yours. Once you lie down, our family is all businessmen, so what can't be done about him as an official?" , but hmph, when it comes to marriage, mother wants you to make a good choice."

Guo Pu, who was sleeping on the bed, was originally a heroic man.I have been ill for half a year, and I can't move. I am much more haggard, but I still have spirit.He smiled slightly at his mother: "Mother doesn't have to worry about her son, even if the son can no longer move, he will still be paid by the court."

"You will be well. Your grandfather said that all the family's money will be spent to make you well." Mrs. Guo has a fair and beautiful complexion, but she is a strong-tempered woman.She didn't cry, she just encouraged her son.Generations of merchants from the Guo family came to Guo Pu who was able to write and martial arts.The emperor tried Dayue on the spot and appointed him to be a general in the army.All the way up to the fifth rank, when the spring breeze is in full swing, he can't fight the enemy once, and he is seriously injured.The Guo family caused the eldest son who was proud of being an official to fall down, how could the Guo family not be anxious.

Mrs. Guo told her son: "In this province, our family has some wealth. No, since Mr. Lu retired, I have asked people to inquire about girls and young ladies who can talk in the whole province. All good-looking girls are invited today. Come on. Some of them were known in advance, and some were not known in advance. After a while, I will meet them one by one outside. You choose carefully through the gauze curtain, and which one you choose, mother will marry you and come home to serve you. "

Mrs. Guo, who was extremely sympathetic to her son, said: "If you fall in love with several at the same time, mother will find a way to marry you in. My son is recovering from illness, and it will be convenient for me to have a personal attendant."

His mother loved him so much, Guo Pu, who was lying motionless, just smiled and said, "Thank you, mother." Mrs. Guo then wiped the sweat from her son's forehead with a silk handkerchief, feeling even more distressed for her son.He was injured in the back and has not been able to move since.Normally, the pain would cause sweat to flow down from time to time, but Guo Pu never groaned, so as not to worry his family members.It's just the sweat dripping from his forehead, letting people know that he is in pain.

"Ma'am, the girl from the Zhou family is waiting outside the door." A girl walked outside and replied through the gauze curtain.Mrs. Guo just remembered, and said to her son: "Our local Miss Zhou said that she was born well and could read. She will be there in a while, so you should take a good look."

The first one to go in was not Zhou Fengluan, the girl led her in and sat in a small hall.Guo's place is not small, so a dozen girls from the province were invited to sit in several rooms in twos and threes.Others didn't know the inside story, but Zhou Fengluan didn't know.

Sitting in the hall for half an hour, Zhou Fengluan was anxious and worried, but he couldn't show his anxious look to the girl of Guo's family in the hall.When she came to beg for help, Zhou Fengluan paid attention to her every move and expression, but there was only a gloomy look in her eyes, revealing her melancholy.She didn't know that the two girls in the hall were indeed watching her.Not only Fengluan, but other girls as well.The news finally reached Mrs. Guo's ears.

Whether the girls who come here are stable or not, whether they wait for a while or not are impetuous, this is what Mrs. Guo wants to hear and see.Mrs. Guo, who doesn't steam steamed buns to steam her breath, got the support of her father-in-law, Mr. Guo, and made up her mind to choose a girl for her son who is more stable and decent than the official lady in Beijing.

Guo Pu couldn't move while sleeping on the bed. His family erected a large bronze mirror in front of the bed in the room. Guo Pu could see the person coming from the gauze curtain through the bronze mirror without turning his head and neck.Sure enough, all of them are good-looking girls with dignified looks.Tall or short, plump or weak, the mother asked them to sit down when they came in, chatted with them one by one, and let the son in the room listen to their voices and talk to them.

His mother thought so thoughtfully that Guo Pu felt that the ever-present pain in his back was relieved.After an hour passed, Guo Pu didn't feel tired from watching. He felt that his mother was right.Youth without a wife, of course, I have thoughts in my heart.In the past, I was thinking of Miss Lu. After Master Lu repented of his marriage, Guo Pu had nothing on his face, but he was even more angry in his heart.But he himself didn't know if he could get well, if he could get back on the horse and gallop on the battlefield again.

Today's mother did this, Guo Pu felt that this hour passed quickly, because it was in response to the saying that male colleges should be married, and female colleges should be married.But he became sad again, if I'm not good, marrying me is marrying a useless person.Don't say there are no flowers before the moon, even the couple's bed is not good at all.Alas, this girl who married me is also a poor person!

"I heard that the elder son was recovering from his illness. My parents asked for a ginseng and ordered me to bring it. Today I am here to visit my wife and also to check on the son's illness. My father was born with the old man in his early years and lived in a city. It's a neighbor. Young Master is ill, so he should come to visit him."

The words outside had a pleasant voice, with an indescribable sincerity.Guo Pu complained, lamented and distracted, and then looked at the bronze mirror, there was a girl in Tsing Yi outside the room.There are not too many decorations, only two gold hairpins on the head are not ostentatious, but it looks like a crow with black hair; the face is light and powdery, almost invisible, and there is a little plumpness on the face, which makes people think pinch.It's just that under the plump background is a pale face, and there is pain under the bright black eyes.This girl has something on her mind!
Mrs. Guo was very satisfied, the words of the daughter of the Zhou family made the mother a lot relieved.The family that doesn't move around often is a girl's family, and Feng Luan said it sincerely when she came out to visit the young master's illness.Play the emotional card well before you can ask for help.This point, Feng Luan still knows it well.

It's a good sentence, as a neighbor, I should come to visit the young master's illness.These few words attracted both Mrs. Guo and Guo Pu.

"It is said that your father was ill and encountered water thieves again. Please tell me slowly what happened." Mrs. Guo also reciprocated and asked Master Zhou once.She is a busy person, but she just vaguely heard that the Zhou family was unlucky, so she hasn't inquired about it.

Guo Pu in the room thought to himself, he really has something on his mind.He also raised his ears to listen.The melodious voice sounded again, with self-endurable pain in the respect: "It is said that there is a batch of goods that can make money. Father and several uncles exchanged the silver and separated on the road for safety. Father took the silver with him and put the goods on the road. Buy it back and put it on the boat." Speaking of this, I choked up a little more: "I don't want to meet water thieves on the road and rob the goods and the rest of the silver. Instead, I injured my father and the people on the boat..."
