Chapter 359 Song Renjing proposes marriage to Mr. Gu
The two walked out of the peach forest hand in hand, and Gu Fu broke away from Song Renjing's hand.
Song Renjing didn't force it.
As soon as the two of them left the peach forest, the secret guards hidden in the dark appeared. They stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Master, Mr. Gu sent his subordinates to look for you and the young lady."
"Okay, I get it. It's all my fault that I got drunk and fell asleep in the sun room. Sister Fu'er has been waiting for me to wake up until now. I'm sorry that Grandpa and the others were worried. We'll go back now."
Gu Fu listened silently to Song Renjing's distortion of facts, and just smiled without saying a word.
"Yes!" The two secret guards responded in unison with solemn expressions. They then made way for the two men and followed them closely after they left.
The two secret guards glanced at each other quietly, and gave each other an understanding look.
They were all Song Renjing's personal servants, so they naturally knew what their master felt about Miss Gu.
They had already found the two of them, but they didn't dare to disturb them when they saw them talking to each other. Seeing that their master had finally won the young lady's heart, they, the secret guards, also wanted to cry.
They watched their master, who had always put the young lady first in everything over the years, and who had been taken care of, add the young lady's favorite dishes to her bowl just because of a look from her. When eating fish, he would shave off the bones before feeding it to the young lady...
Such behavior is commonplace in normal times.
Fortunately, they finally got a response from the young lady. How could they dare to disturb her?
Several people, each with their own thoughts, used their lightness skills and headed towards Gu's house.
"Grandpa, uncle, I'm sorry to have made you worry. I couldn't help but drink a little today and got drunk. I didn't wake up until just now. Sister Fuer has been waiting for me to wake up, so I came back late. I'm sorry to have made you worry." Song Renjing explained to everyone in the room.
Old Master Gu knew that they had not left the valley, so he was not particularly worried. Over the years, he had recognized his granddaughter's abilities. He waved his hand and said, "You are still young, so don't drink too much. Next time you encounter something like this, just tell me."
"Yes, grandpa. I won't drink too much next time." Song Renjing replied with a smile.
"Okay, you two come back so late, you must be hungry, let's go eat quickly." Old Master Gu waved his hand.
"Then let's go eat first, and come back to pay our respects to Grandpa later." The two of them took their leave and went to the kitchen to eat.
The two of them ate quickly, paid their respects to the old man, and then went back to rest.
The next day, after breakfast.
Song Renjing then found Mr. Gu alone.
"Grandpa Gu, A Jing wants to talk to you about something. Do you have time now?"
Hearing this, Mr. Gu felt a little flustered. To be honest, every time this kid came to him alone with a serious face, it must be something big that happened. I wonder what it is this time.
Mr. Gu didn't show it on his face, and said resignedly, "Come with me."
"Yes, Grandpa."
The two of them came to Mr. Gu's living room and sat opposite each other in the tea room. Song Renjing was not in a hurry to speak, and personally made tea for Mr. Gu.
After a smooth and fancy way of brewing tea, Song Renjing also relaxed his nervousness. After pouring a cup for the old man, he poured another cup for himself. "Grandpa, try my brew."
Seeing him like this, Mr. Gu was even more worried, thinking to himself, it seems that this is not a trivial matter! This kid, who is always thick-skinned when asking for supplies, doesn't know how to open his mouth!
Thinking of this, Mr. Gu secretly wondered in his heart, what else in my family could be of interest to this kid?
Thinking about it, he took a sip without tasting the food, nodded perfunctorily, and said, "Not bad," then put down the teacup, "Jing boy, it's been so many times, you don't have to beat around the bush if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Hearing this, Song Renjing secretly took a few deep breaths and said, "Grandpa, then A Jing will speak directly."
Old Master Gu had learned some internal strength over the years, and seeing Song Renjing's performance, he began to speculate in his mind, silently waiting for Song Renjing to say something shocking.
Then Song Renjing said solemnly, "Grandpa, I like Sister Fu and have liked her for many years. I want to propose to Sister Fu'er."
Even though Mr. Gu had prepared himself to be ripped off by this kid, he never expected that the answer he was waiting for would be his own granddaughter.
Old Master Gu swallowed the tea that he had forgotten to swallow in his throat, put down the teacup, and suppressed the pounding of his heart.
They thought secretly that this boy was interested in his granddaughter, and those of them who had experienced it could see it clearly.
But because his granddaughter was still young and didn't seem to have figured things out, and she was usually oblivious to Song Renjing's various courtesies, he didn't stop her.
I didn't expect that this guy would propose marriage directly today? He wanted to bypass Fu'er and use his parents' order to bind him to Fu'er!
How could the old man be willing to force his own darling granddaughter!
Moreover, Song Renjing is the crown prince. Although others in the family don’t know, he knows it clearly.
The palace is not a good choice. As the saying goes, once you enter a mansion, it is like entering a deep sea, let alone a palace!
It is said that the place is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. My little granddaughter has a simple nature and is generous and kind. How can she survive in such a place?
Once she entered the palace, it would be difficult for ordinary people like them to see her even once. If anything happened to their granddaughter in there, they would not know about it. There was no way they could push their little granddaughter into the fire pit.
Fortunately, my granddaughter is still young and doesn’t understand these things.
He rejected Song Renjing today and put an end to his thoughts.
By the way, this kid has been in the valley for so many years. He has learned everything he should learn and received everything he should receive. It is time for him to return to his palace.
After returning to the imperial city, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. After meeting those noble ladies from aristocratic families, his thoughts on his own granddaughter naturally faded.
He planned to raise his precious granddaughter for her whole life. If she didn't get married, he would find a son-in-law and raise her under his eyes, so that his precious granddaughter would never suffer any grievance in her life.
Thinking of this, Mr. Gu calmed down a little, "Fu'er is young, but she has her own ideas! She has the final say on her marriage, and we can't arrange a marriage for her in private.
Besides, she is still young and doesn't know anything yet. It is unrealistic for you to wait for her to grow up. You are so much older than her and your status is very different. You will have to go back sooner or later, and the court will not allow you to wait for several years.
Our Fu'er was told by a fortune teller when she was a child that she was not destined to marry far away and should be raised by her family, so we are preparing to find a son-in-law.
Grandpa can see some of your thoughts, and he understands because you grew up together. You may be used to Fu'er being around and think that means you like him. When you have more experience in the future, you will understand naturally. Do you understand what Grandpa means?"
