The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1369

Chapter 1369: Chapter 1131, What bad intentions could the young lord Gu possibly have? 2

Taohua Mountain.

The formerly small Taohua Temple has been expanded several times. Both the Emperor and the Crown Prince have stayed here for years, partly to accompany Gu Jian, and partly because the Emperor himself wants to lead a peaceful life.

The Crown Prince, being the son and not in good health, cannot handle political affairs, so he stays by the Emperor’s side to fulfill filial duty. With him accompanying the Emperor, the Great Grandson in Beijing can feel more secure.

Gu Jian is now over ninety years old. Due to his age, a minor cold last year troubled him for more than two months, which scared everyone.

Therefore, once Gu Moyan and Xiao Moan returned, they were summoned by the Emperor for a meeting.

The Emperor looked at Gu Moyan, no longer displaying his usual kindness, and spoke sternly: "You have enjoyed enough freedom over these years. With your uncle growing older, you must marry within this year, and next year, the elder should be able to hold your child."

Gu Moyan understood Gu Jian’s situation. A headache or fever could be fatal for someone over ninety, and he also hoped the elder could be free of regrets: "Moyan will try his best."

He wanted to marry soon, but finding a wife isn’t something that can be rushed.

The Emperor was not satisfied with this answer and snorted: "Trying is not enough; you must do this. Over the years, the elder hasn’t urged you much, and I have turned a blind eye without demanding anything of you."

"But as you turn twenty this year, it can’t be put off any longer. I will arrange your marriage; do you have any objections?"

Gu Moyan felt helpless. When Ancestor intervenes, even father and mother must comply, so he dared not oppose: "Moyan listens to Ancestor in all matters."

Upon hearing his response, the Emperor softened his expression: "I have successfully arranged many marriages in my life, and each couple has lived happily. You should just wait to become a groom."

After saying this, he waved Gu Moyan and Xiao Moan away.

Outside the room, seeing Gu Moyan’s dejection, Xiao Moan couldn’t help but comfort him: "Actually, family-arranged marriages aren’t as bad as you imagine, and those you find on your own might not be as wonderful as you think either."

"Living a married life mainly depends on your mindset and your way of living."

"Our official wife’s role is primarily managing household affairs and raising children. If you don’t truly like her, you can have several concubines."

Gu Moyan said nothing; he felt a generational gap between him and Xiao Moan in this respect.

Though he felt disappointed and regretful, inheriting the elder’s title meant he must shoulder the Gu Family’s legacy.

...

The spring months of March and April in Zhongzhou are a time when flowers bloom and birds sing, filling the land with vibrant energy.

Such glorious spring scenery is ideal for outings, naturally attracting countless young maidens to venture outside for enjoyment.

The Tang Family had just arrived in Zhongzhou and did not know many people, though Mr. Tang’s official position meant they received numerous invitations upon arrival.

On March sixteenth, Madam Tang accepted an invitation from Advisor Xu’s wife and took her daughters, Tang Zixin and Tang Zijin, for an outing at Xiang Mountain outside the city.

Madam Xu had invited quite a few guests, and upon arriving at Xiang Mountain, she warmly introduced Madam Tang to the various family wives.

After everyone got acquainted, Madam Tang saw the girls playing elsewhere and did not keep Tang Zixin and Tang Zijin close by, encouraging them to follow the Xu sisters to meet other young ladies.

Tang Zixin was two years older than Tang Zijin and, well-protected by Old Madam and Old Master Tang, lived very well within the Tang Family even in the absence of her mother.

Moreover, Madam Tang was not a harsh person and did not treat them poorly. So, with no worries in her life, Tang Zijin was quite outgoing and lively.

Despite meeting the Xu sisters for the first time, she quickly got along with them, easily mingling with others.

In contrast, Tang Zijin had a gentler and quieter disposition, speaking less.

Whether intentional or not, Tang Zixin seemed to exclude Tang Zijin while conversing and laughing with the Xu sisters.

However, Miss Xu noticed Tang Zijin’s silence and occasionally directed conversation towards her.

Soon, the three arrived at a gathering of young ladies.

After introductions and pleasantries, Tang Zijin found a quiet pavilion to sit down while Tang Zixin was surrounded by the young ladies.

Zu Xin pouted and spoke discontentedly, "What’s Big Sister’s deal? She subtly belittles Miss, clearly wanting other girls to look down on her."

Tang Zijin’s expression remained unchanged as she replied calmly: "Big Sister has a strong personality and will not allow me to overshadow her in front of others. We should just avoid conflict."

Zu Xin frowned, "But why should Miss always be the one to give way? Big Sister is the older sibling; shouldn’t she also yield to her younger sister?"

Tang Zijin traced circles on the stone table, gazing at the distant scenery: "If I clash with Big Sister, it will be difficult for Mother. Such small matters, why not give way?"
