Chapter 196
"Of course not! Even after we get married, she'll still have to listen to me!" Liu You said drunkenly, waving his hand. "Since ancient times, the husband has been the head of the wife. Even if her family is powerful, she still has to listen to me!"
"That's right, after getting married, how can the parents-in-law still interfere in the affairs of the husband-in-law's family?"
Guo Zhi stood outside the door and looked at Liu You, with disappointment in her eyes that she could not hide. She wanted to open her mouth to say something many times, but in the end she said nothing and was about to turn around and leave.
Liu You turned over and shouted for the waiter to bring more wine, then he saw Guo Zhi and the other person standing at the door, their eyes full of disappointment. His panicked look met Guo Zhi's eyes.
Guo Zhi turned and left. Guo Xi followed behind and glanced at Liu You coldly. Liu You staggered a few steps and grabbed Guo Zhi's hand. Guo Zhi pulled her hand away and looked up at him with a condescending attitude.
"Zhi'er, I was confused when I said all this. I am sorry for you. I will definitely treat you very well in the future and make you the envy of everyone."
Guo Zhi looked at him and snorted coldly. She had never realized that Liu You was such a smooth-talking person before. All he said was empty talk, not a single true word. Now she was really enlightened. She kicked Liu You who was lying on the corner of her skirt, then turned and left.
Guo Xi followed Guo Zhi back to the mansion. Seeing her unhappy face, he asked cautiously, "Zhi'er, are you okay?"
Guo Zhi turned to look at her anxious brother and suddenly burst into laughter. "Fourth brother, I'm fine. I'll go to the capital as usual tomorrow. Grandmother has sent a letter after all, and we haven't seen them for a long time. It's a good time to meet them."
Guo Xi looked at Guo Zhi, pursed his lips, and asked, "Is he still going?"
After a moment of silence, Guo Zhi sighed, "Go ahead. After all, we've been friends since childhood, and he's the manager of our family business. I just won't talk to him."
Although she was full of fantasies about love, she also envied her good friend Ye Minzhi's married life. Minzhi was two years older than her, and her husband was her childhood sweetheart. They had a stable relationship and got married shortly after her coming-of-age ceremony last year. After marriage, her husband never took a concubine and supported her to continue running a small business with her in the mall.
Therefore, she also hopes to grow old with Liu You, but she is not a woman like Dazhao who will stick to one person until death. The teaching and influence of her second sister still have some effect on her. At worst, she can just find another one.
Love well when you are in love, and leave quickly when you understand the situation. Staying for one more second will make your eyes look dirty.
……
Zhao He and his team set out for Beijing a few days ago, and happened to pass through Suining City on the way.
Zhao He looked at the plaque on the city gate, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart. He left for the border town from here three years ago, and it was also here that he and Guo Xin confirmed their feelings. But now he has to call Xin'er He Xin.
I wonder if there have been any major changes in Suining City after not seeing it for three years?
The horses slowly entered the city. The General of the Cavalry looked around and said to Zhao He beside him, "I remember that I lived here with Xin'er and the others for quite a while. Now it seems much more prosperous than before."
Both sides of the bluestone-paved street are lined with various street vendors, and the eaves of the buildings facing the street are connected. The original plain black plaque of Shunan Shopping Mall has been replaced with a gilded style. The golden light flows in the sunlight, and the windows on the second floor reflect the dense crowds of people.
There are also many vendors in the market selling defective products made in glass workshops. Because of their relatively low prices, they attract people to watch.
Zhao He took in everything and said to the soldier behind him, "Is this the colored glass produced recently by the colored glass workshop?"
The soldier glanced down and said, "Exactly. I heard that the colored glass workshop not only develops exquisite and rare colored glass items, but also develops a new firing method. Although the colored glass is not exquisite, it has a high success rate, which allows us ordinary people to use it."
Zhao He smiled as he tilted his head to look at He Xiangan. Coincidentally, he turned around as well, looking proud. "My granddaughter, He Xiangan, is smart. Just like me. Now that you're here, why don't you go take a look at the workshop?"
Zhao He nodded slightly, and naturally agreed to all his grandfather-in-law's requests. He waved to the back and walked towards the corner of the city with He Xiangan.
Every time she sent him a letter, she would talk about her daily life, and he would silently remember it in his heart. Therefore, he was also very familiar with the location of the glass workshop. After all, it was a mark of his sweetheart's glory, how could he not remember it?
At that time, Guo Zhi and others were also preparing to set off. Liu You came to the door of He Mansion, but did not let the servant report it. He just kept wandering in front of the door.
Just as the servant was about to go and report, Guo Zhi came to the corner door. Looking through the crack, she saw Liu You pacing back and forth. She looked at the servant and said, "Let him wait at the side door."
The servant agreed and walked quickly towards Liu You, feeling infinite sympathy in his heart. Yesterday, when the young lady and the young master returned home together, both of them looked unhappy. Today, Young Master Liu was hesitating outside. One look at him showed that he must have offended the young lady.
Although he was biased towards his young lady, he and Young Master Liu were both men, and both came from humble backgrounds, so he couldn't help but lean towards Young Master Liu. He walked up to him, shook his head and sighed, "Young Master, please go to the side door. Their carriage is waiting there."
Liu You looked at the servant anxiously: "Did Zhi'er say anything?"
The servant shook his head, turned back to the house, and then turned back: "The young lady must mean that you should go to the capital with them. There are three carriages parked at the side gate."
After Liu You whispered his thanks to the servant, he hurried to the side door.
He saw a figure in the distance, but perhaps because he had been busy sorting out accounts for so long, he could no longer see clearly. He naturally thought it was Guo Zhi and ran over happily, "Zhi'er, I knew you wouldn't ignore me..."
After a pause, the person in front of him was not Guo Zhi, but Guo Zhi's twin brother Guo Xi.
"Third sister said that you should go to the capital with us. Go up quickly. He doesn't want to see you."
"I just want to say one word to him." Liu You looked at Guo Xi pleadingly. Seeing that he was indifferent, he thought for a moment and took a step towards the front carriage. Guo Xi was anxious and grabbed Liu You's sleeve.
"Zhi'er, I was wrong yesterday. Those things would never happen! I swear to God! Those words were said by my old friends to induce me to sow discord between us." Liu You shouted.
Guo Xi's face changed. Liu You couldn't have been unaware of how important reputation was to a woman. What was his intention in shouting Guo Zhi's name like that? He kicked him in the knee and a scream was heard.
"Whoa!" He Xiang'an and the other man rode over following the sound. They had originally thought they'd stop by to take a look since they hadn't been to the He residence for a while, but then they heard Guo Zhi's name. As a result, their horses galloped faster. He Xiang'an jumped off his horse, kicked the person on the ground, and looked anxiously at Guo Xi: "What happened?"
