Chapter 1944 The Regent Princess is about to faint again
After laughing, the mother looked at Shi Li and talked about her relationship with the Gu family.
And the origin of her so-called engagement with Gu Jinning.
She and Gu Jinning's mother were close friends before they got married. Later, she married to the Shi family in Jiangnan, and Gu Jinning's mother married to the Gu family in Beijing, and the contact between the two gradually decreased.
A few years later, Gu Jinning's mother went to the south of the Yangtze River with her father and reunited with her mother who was pregnant with Shi Li. The two seemed to have no estrangement after not seeing each other for several years, and they drank and wrote poems as before.
No one could remember how the topic ended up being about the mother's belly.
Her mother said that many people had seen the baby and that it was a naughty boy, but Gu Jinning's mother asserted that she must be pregnant with a little girl.
Neither of them could convince the other.
Finally, Gu Jinning's mother was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "If you give birth to a little girl, you must raise her to be my son's wife!"
"What if I give birth to a boy?" The mother was not to be outdone.
Gu Jinning's mother thought about it carefully and said, "It's impossible that your baby is a boy! If it is a boy, I will give you another daughter-in-law!"
The two of them had always enjoyed joking around in the past, and a joke led to an awkward marriage.
When the Gu couple were about to leave, the mother went into labor half a month early and gave birth to a little girl before Gu Jinning's mother left.
When Gu Jinning's mother came to visit, she laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, and pointed at her own mother and made a lot of jokes.
"Look, my son won't have to worry about finding a wife anymore!"
Although the mother was angry, she accepted the defeat and took out her most precious jade pendant and gave it to her friend as a token of love.
At this point, the mother couldn't help but glared at Shi Li and complained, "I don't know how you like him so much that he came to the world half a month early, scaring your father and me!"
Shi Li: Can this be blamed on her?
"But your future mother-in-law has also left you something good. I'll give it to you on your coming-of-age day. That jeweled hairpin is so rare and beautiful!"
Shi Li's mother touched her head with a smile, and was obviously very satisfied with this marriage.
However, this also explains why the original owner's eldest sister and brother were not engaged, but the youngest one had a fiancé first, and the relationship was found by the original owner herself.
"Jinning is a good child. She will take the examination next year. I came here specially to ask your father for some advice. Maybe I can earn you a title of imperial consort in the future."
The mother looked at Shi Li half-jokingly and said, "This is a good marriage you chose yourself!"
Now you can regret...
Shi Li asked silently in her heart, and she certainly didn't dare to say it out loud, otherwise she was afraid of being lectured on the spot.
Although my father did not enter the officialdom, he was indeed very knowledgeable.
There are often students from Jiangnan who come to visit, and my father always gives them some advice.
The person who came this time was Gu Jinning, so naturally she had to be taken better care of.
After discussing with his parents, he arranged a very quiet guest house for Gu Jinning, which was close to his father's study, so that he could go there to ask for advice at any time.
In the evening, my elder sister Shi Xuan came to see me.
She is three years older than the original owner and is in her prime.
She was wearing a cute peach pink dress and had her hair in double buns. On each side of her head was a pearl flower made of gouache gems, bright and lovely, like a peach blossom blooming in spring.
Shi Xuan went out for tea with her sisters during the day. When she came back, she heard that there were guests at home. Driven by curiosity, she secretly glanced at Gu Jinning and her face immediately blushed.
After calming down, he came to find Shi Li.
She didn't know that Gu Jinning was Shi Li's fiancé. As soon as she saw Shi Li, she took her hand and talked to her, her eyes shining.
"Li'er, I just saw Mr. Gu who lives in the guest house. He is so handsome!"
Shi Li looked at the young lady's blushing cheeks. She didn't understand anything and immediately felt that something was wrong.
If the young lady falls in love with Gu Jinning, it will be troublesome to get along with her in the future.
Before she could speak, Shi Xuan said, "I have to find a chance to ask mother if Mr. Gu has any engagement!"
She never thought that her little sister would have any relationship with Gu Jinning. The two sisters had a close relationship, so she did not hide her feelings at all.
Shi Li saw that she had no choice but to say something, so she immediately said, "I heard from my mother that Master Gu has already been engaged."
"Ah? Are you engaged?"
Shi Xuan's disappointment was immediately evident and he frowned for a moment.
"Well, Mr. Gu is so handsome, the girls in the capital must be flocking to him, and it is only natural that he is engaged. I wonder which girl is so lucky."
Seeing Shi Xuan so regretful, Shi Li was too embarrassed to say that she was the lucky girl.
