Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 1 Marriage
Xi'er tiptoed into the room, squatted by the bed and watched the baby on the bed take a nap.As if sensing someone, the doll on the bed moved its eyes and nose, slowly opened its eyes, saw that it was Xi'er, sat up slowly, stretched its arms and legs.

Xi'er hurriedly asked Tweety and the others to come over and help the doll wash and dress.

Gu Changyan yawned, with a trance of not getting enough sleep on his childish face, and let Xi'er Tweet comb her hair and dress her.

"What about brother?"

"I just came back from ethnology, and I'm waiting for you outside to eat fruit."

After tidying up, Gu Changyan went to the outer room, but no one was there, and then went outside the door, only to see her good brother bullying her cat, Donggua.

Angry, he walked over to beat Gu Yanqing.Xi'er, Cui'er and a group of maids and women stood far away and couldn't move forward.

Since the third lady raised the cat, the siblings would quarrel with each other every day because of the cat.At first, these servants were blocking, pulling, and blocking, but later they found it was useless, so everyone had to stand at a distance, and wait for the siblings to have enough fights before going up to tidy them up.

But today, the flames of war between the brothers and sisters were suppressed as soon as they were ignited.

Madam Hu specializes in running errands in the public house, she doesn't like to come to Mujinyuan, but she has to, so every time she sees the siblings, she looks sullen, as if someone else owes her money.

"Third young master and third young lady, the master has urged you two to come over quickly." Every time they have to be urged three times and four times, and they are procrastinating before they are willing to go out. This pair of brothers and sisters just lack a mother.Hu Momo slandered, turned around and left on her own, anyway, she passed the word on.

Knowing that this slave's attitude was not respectful enough, Gu Yanqing didn't bother to care about it, threw the cat away, took his sister's hand and walked in front, and Gu Changyan, who was pouting so angry that he wanted to beat his brother, calmed down and obediently let his brother lead him to Jingzhong. Church.

The two brothers and sisters were the last to arrive at Jingzhong Hall. Except for Gu Yanyun who was far away at Jincheng Pass, all parents, brothers, sisters and aunts were present.

What surprised the brothers and sisters was that their fairy-like mother, Mrs. Liang Guogong's wife, Chen Mengling, the head of Yuyang County, also arrived, but her face was clearly impatient, as if staying for a quarter of an hour would be torture.

"Changyan (Yanqing) pays his respects to his parents."

The brother and sister saluted respectfully, their almost identical faces eased the restrained atmosphere a bit.Twins are not easy to come by, and dragon and phoenix twins are even more rare. This pair of brothers and sisters were talked about since they were born, and they were said to be the good fortune of Liang Guogong's mansion.

Chen Mengling was born in a family, and she was also the county lord appointed by the former emperor. When she was in the boudoir, her talent and appearance were admired by others. Back then, those romantic scholars created a beauty list in private, and listed her as the second most beautiful in the capital. for a long time.A person like her is more than enough to be a crown princess, but who knows that a marriage was granted, she married Gu Zheng, a widower, and became the second wife.

It can only be said that good fortune makes people.

Chen Mengling waved to the two children, and the siblings obediently walked over to stand by her side.I don't know what's important about Gu Zheng calling his family over today.

"Twins still have a good relationship. People say that men and women sit at different seats at seven years old. Look at the third young master and third young lady who are still so sticky at ten years old. They hold hands wherever they go." Aunt An smiled warmly, staring at the two dolls all the time. It was another round of anger.The blame is to blame my stomach for not being able to live up to it. After entering the mansion for so many years, I only gave birth to one daughter, Gu Changyu.

I thought that someone would respond, but after she finished speaking, no one answered for a long time, and the scene was awkward.Fortunately, she has always been thick-skinned, so she looked at Gu Changyan again, and said with a smile: "Miss San is getting more and more beautiful, and she can dress well. Look at this ordinary silk dress, but she just makes her look like a princess." Come."

Using words like Mingyan to a child who is only ten years old and still childish, made everyone present look a little unsightly, and the words imply that Miss Yi has no good materials and can only rely on her own efforts to make her clothes look classy.

In just a few words, several people were targeted.Before adding, he deliberately emphasized that the two brothers and sisters disregarded the etiquette and restraint, and even went in and out together after the age of seven.If she said this on weekdays, maybe everyone would think she was idle, but today it made people feel attracted.

Chen Mengling was already impatient to stay in the same room with Gu Zheng and the women in the backyard, if Gu Zheng insisted on her coming today, she would not even bother to give these people a look.Besides, Gu Yanqing and Gu Changyan crawled out of his stomach, even if she didn't pay attention to it, and Gu Zheng didn't pay attention to it, it wouldn't make sense for an aunt to bully her.

She raised her eyelids slightly, and said indifferently: "It seems that Aunt An has not been taught the rules for a long time. Someone will drag her to the sun and kneel down. If she is alive, she is not allowed to move."

It's just that she didn't see it on weekdays, but now these people are criticizing her children in front of her. Is this challenging her status?

Aunt An's eyes were full of surprise and panic when she heard the words. She knew that Chen Mengling would do what he said, and she immediately regretted it.Although Chen Mengling has been the main wife these years, she has never cared about affairs, and Aunt Tang is in charge of the house, and she only shows up on important occasions.And even though she gave birth to twins, she never fed her a mouthful of milk, or even held her a few times, and she never paid attention to the dissatisfaction of the people in the house with the two little ones.I didn't expect that I would kill myself for my mouth addiction today.

Seeing that she was about to be dragged out by the wives, Aunt An looked at Gu Zheng anxiously. The other party frowned with dissatisfaction on his face, obviously annoyed her. Enter Gu Changxi, the eldest daughter of Zhengxia.

Gu Changxi originally had a lot of urgent matters to be resolved today, but this aunt didn't wink and offended Chen Mengling.

"Although we are from a Zanying family, it's not a place where people are killed casually. Aunt An will go back and contemplate behind closed doors for half a month, and reflect on herself." In her heart, the stepmother's status is far less important than Aunt An's, and she is used to relying on Gu Zheng's authority. Just don't take your stepmother seriously.

Chen Mengling's gaze slowly shifted to Gu Changxi, the deep meaning in her eyes no one could understand, but it made Gu Changxi a little uncomfortable.However, Chen Mengling did not stop her from making this decision, so after Aunt An was kicked out, Jingzhong Hall returned to its previous quietness.Brother and sister Gu Yanqing and Gu Changyan still obediently stood beside their mother, unaffected by the little farce just now.

Aunt An is used to talking nonsense, talking about their siblings for a day or two, if they get serious with her, they will have a hard time.

Gu Zheng had a bad relationship with Chen Mengling, and he never cared about the two young children. Like the eldest daughter Gu Changxi, Aunt An was indeed closer to him than the three of them, so Gu Changxi refused to let Chen Mengling deal with An Auntie, he acquiesced.It's just that facing Chen Mengling's incomprehensible demeanor, he was a little uncertain whether the other party was angry.

He coughed twice to break the embarrassment, and then he got down to business: "Everyone must know the engagement between Chang Xi and His Highness the Fourth Highness. In the next few days, the palace will come to announce the engagement date. The empress will also arrange for the nuns to come and guide As a rule, we can't wait for people to come from the palace before doing things. Monarchs and ministers, as a courtier, you must show your attitude first, so from tomorrow onwards, Changxi will not go out until you get married..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Changxi knelt down, her small face was raining with pear blossoms: "I beg father to take pity on my daughter, the Fourth Highness has disabled legs, and my daughter cannot marry."

Everyone knew about this marriage many years ago. As Gu Changxi grew up, everyone knew that this day would come sooner or later.Of course, it is also a fact that the fourth prince has leg problems, but he can't violate his intentions. Gu Changxi has to marry if he doesn't marry, otherwise the entire Duke Liang's mansion will suffer catastrophe.

Her kneeling brought changes to the supposedly smooth marriage. Everyone present reacted differently. Some people were frightened and couldn't get over it for a long time. Even the tureen in Chen Mengling's hand paused.

The muscles on Gu Zheng's face twitched and turned red, as if trying to restrain his anger.He stared at the eldest daughter who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? This marriage contract was made by the queen mother first, and everyone knows it. Do you want to trap our Gu family in injustice? Do you know this? What will the Gu family face if the word spreads?"

It stands to reason that he would be happy to be married to the royal family, and it would be of great help to the power of Duke Liang's mansion. The fourth prince, Zhao Yanran, is extraordinary in appearance and quite talented. Even if he is not destined for the throne, he can definitely be regarded as a good match for Gu Changxi in all aspects .

The only regret is that I had an accident on the autumn hunting two years ago, and my legs were broken. I will have to be with a wheelchair for the rest of my life.

But regardless of whether Zhao Yanran's legs were crippled or her body was crippled, the Duke Liang's House was unable to withdraw from this marriage.The jewel in the palm of his hand that he has loved for 15 years, and the daughter left behind by the first married wife, how could he be willing to let her live without hope for the rest of her life.It's just that at this juncture, he has to accept his fate if he doesn't want to.

The words have come to this point, all of you present have predicted the future of the family, and it is estimated that it can only be described as gloomy and misty.

Chen Mengling didn't intend to give others a chance to ask her for help, so she told Gu Zheng that she had to go back to her yard first, and someone from the palace would inform her.

She walked so gracefully that she didn't even glance at her two children.

"Father, brother still has homework, so we'll go back first."

Gu Changyan took Gu Yanqing, who was still in a daze, to salute Gu Zheng. Seeing the two immature and innocent children, it was useless to stay here, Gu Zheng waved them back.

As soon as the brothers and sisters left, the other winking people couldn't sit still, and they all found excuses to leave.Only Gu Zheng and Gu Changxi, father and daughter, were left in the room.

Gu Changxi was still kneeling and refused to get up, her eyes were firm, and she seemed to be negotiating with her father with the determination to die.

Gu Zheng sighed: "Changxi, you are my first daughter. Your biological mother passed away early, and I have raised you as my life. I never hoped that you would be like this for the rest of your life. However, this marriage is It was decided by the Empress Dowager, if the Empress Dowager is still alive, I will fight for this old face for my father." However, the Empress Dowager has passed away.

Hearing that Gu Changxi's heart is ashamed, as long as she thinks that she will live with a useless person for the rest of her life, may have no children, and be surrounded by pity and comments from others, she can't stand it.

Thinking of her, Gu Changxi was born in a famous family, a well-known lady in the capital, she needs to be good-looking and talented, many clan women are not as beautiful as her, and with this capital, she can marry the best man in the world.If the fourth prince, Zhao Yanran, hadn't been injured, this marriage would be excellent, but fate is so unfair.

The more she thought about it, the more she hated it, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. She cried so hard that she couldn't get up from sitting on the ground.Gu Zheng didn't ask anyone to help her, and he was very sad, and at the same time, he was wondering if there was room for change in this matter.

Suddenly, she stopped crying, and her embarrassed face seemed to freeze at that moment.

"I'll cherish you...don't scare me as a father..." Gu Zheng hurriedly helped her up.

At this time, a hand grabbed his arm, "Father, I have a solution." Gu Changxi stared at Gu Zheng with wide eyes.

"I regret that you go back and rest first..."

"Father." The girl's voice was sharp.

Gu Zheng was anxious, but at the same time he was a little cautious, "Say it well."

"Father, the first empress dowager did not make a decree for the marriage. The daughter and the Fourth Highness are only engaged in verbal engagement. It is not difficult for my father to ask the emperor to change someone." She seemed to have caught the straw, with an excited smile on her face.Seeing Gu Zheng frowning and looking at himself like a monster, Gu Changxi thought he didn't understand what he meant, so he said again: "Father, the Gu family not only has me as a daughter, but also Gu Changyu and Gu Changyan, let them replace the daughter It's the same with marrying the Fourth Highness."

In the next instant, a burning pain spread across her face.Just now, her father, who had never said a single word to her since she was a child, hit her.She was shocked and aggrieved. She couldn't react for a while, but she didn't regret it.Not only did she not regret it, she even tried her best to make it happen.

"Gu Changxi, are you crazy? When the first empress dowager issued this oral order, you were the only daughter in the house, and everyone in the clan knew that the fourth prince hadn't made a side concubine all these years because he was waiting for you to marry him." Said bluntly Although there is no definite purpose, it is a certainty and cannot be changed.

Gu Changxi was in a hurry, she finally found such a loophole, and her father was so stubborn.No, for the sake of her life's happiness, she has to fight no matter what. "Father, you should give up your daughter. The daughter is already motherless. If it's unfortunate to get married, what is the daughter doing alive? It's better to pull a rope and tie it up early to save wasted time."

She was anxious, and Gu Zheng was even more anxious, "Your second younger sister is a concubine, so it is impossible for her to be the prince's official concubine. And your third younger sister...do you have any conscience, she is only ten years old, how can she get married?" There was one sentence that was not uttered, Gu Changxi did not have a mother, but Gu Changyan's biological mother lived a good life, and Chen Mengling's natal family was prominent, it was impossible to agree to such absurd thing both emotionally and rationally.

Not to mention wanting Chen Mengling to nod, Gu Changxi proposed such a bastard idea, if Chen Mengling was annoyed, Gu Changxi would have no fruit to eat.

However, Gu Changxi didn't have so much energy to think about the consequences at the moment. She didn't take Chen Mengling seriously. When she heard her father say that Gu Changyan was not of the right age, she thought it was not a big problem. "Although the fourth prince is six years older than the third sister, it is very difficult for him to find such a good marriage except for Liang Guogong. As long as the father tells the emperor, the emperor will definitely let the fourth prince wait for the third sister and Ji. Father, father... ...You should pity your daughter...Father...Since your daughter has lost her mother since she was a child, and her only brother has not been in the capital for many years, so you have no one to rely on, please pity your daughter...Father..." She He simply hugged Gu Zheng's leg and cried heartbreakingly.

"Chang Xi, you are tired, go back to wash and rest, wait for you to calm down and see you as a father." This daughter is not unintelligent, but she thinks things too simply and is too selfish.

No matter how you say it, the fourth prince is still a prince, and the emperor doesn't have the choice of Duke Liang's mansion if he wants to give him a good marriage.If Liang Guogong's family resigned from the marriage, it would be embarrassing to the emperor, and at this time, if someone as powerful as the Gu family stepped forward and was willing to complete this marriage, the emperor would definitely praise him... This result is very important to the Gu family. It would be a huge loss, and even affect the future future of the Gu family's children.Although he was reluctant to part with Gu Changxi, it was even more impossible for him to bet on the future of Gu Jiaerlang.

The Gu family will not let him go, and he will have no face to see his ancestors after a hundred years.

However, seeing the eldest daughter being helped out by the nanny, his heart also felt a real pain.

Retiring the marriage will not shake the foundation of the Gu family in a short time, but if you want to go further, the hope is slim.Unless there is a war... Thinking of this, Gu Zheng sighed, Gu Zheng is not the only one in the imperial court, and the Gu family is not the only one in the Zanying family. The emperor may not use their Gu family's children in war.If he can't do meritorious service all the time, then the Gu family may decline from his generation.So no matter what, he can't withdraw from this marriage.

But with Gu Changxi's appearance, she is obviously not willing to sacrifice her lifelong happiness for the sake of her family.Gu Changyu was ready to marry Ji, so she was a suitable candidate in terms of age, but it was a pity that she was a concubine, and if she was sent to Chen Mengling to raise her as a concubine at this juncture for the sake of marriage, it would be too late.How would the outsiders think of Gu Zheng when they knew about it, and how could he hold his head up in court.Besides, based on what he knew about Chen Mengling, she didn't even care about her own children, let alone other people's children, she would never agree.The Chen family would not agree either.

Then Gu Changyan was left, this child was only ten years old... Gu Zheng tried hard to recall everything related to this child, and found that he didn't know anything about this child, or the two brothers and sisters.His heart has always been biased. From the beginning to the end, he cared most about Gu Yanyun and Gu Changxi's brothers and sisters, as well as Gu Changyu who walked around him a lot on weekdays.

Gu Changyan was only ten years old, still a child, and he was still many years away from Jiji, making the fourth prince wait for her for so many years... Gu Zheng smiled wryly.It's ridiculous, and he's disgusted at himself for even thinking about it.

　cheers, friend
