Chapter 127: He’s Thinking a Lot
“Brother-in-law, do I look decent in this outfit? Am I too awkward? Does my face look a bit haggard! Quick, give me some spring water so I can wash my face and look more spirited.”
“I think you look fine, no different than usual. Stop fiddling with yourself.”
“What do you mean fiddling! Sister Lian’ is back, and I can’t leave a bad impression when we meet later.”
“…Is this your first blind date? You’ve known Tang Lian for more than a day or two, you shouldn’t be so cautious.”
Seeing Gu Qingheng looking so nervous, Gu Yu couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, thinking that his brother-in-law was overreacting.
It was just meeting Tang Lian again, why so nervous!
Tang Lian even knew about Gu Qingheng talking in his sleep… although it was only after he teased his wife that the Tang Lian beside him heard it.
So, if all the embarrassing things were already known to the other party, there was no need to dress up deliberately.
Just maintain a normal mindset.
When Gu Qingheng heard Gu Yu’s words, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes, thinking that he and Sister Lian’ had been in a long-distance relationship for two years, and now that they were meeting again, he naturally had to dress up well!
If it were his brother-in-law, he’d probably go take a bath and change clothes!
It’s easy to talk when you’re not in the situation!!!
Afterwards, as Gu Yu urged him, Gu Qingheng still dressed up again.
Later, as Gu Yu led the dandy Gu Qingheng out, He Li, who was watching, saw that there was excitement to be had and didn’t fall behind, happily following the two of them to the Tang Sect hall.
When the three of them arrived at the hall, they saw that quite a few people had already gathered. They thought that the mission Tang Lian and the others had completed was significant, otherwise, so many people wouldn’t have come to witness it.
They just didn’t know what the mission was… Given the internal secrets of the Tang Sect, Gu Yu and the other outsiders were lucky to participate, so they couldn’t ask for too much.
“Brother-in-law, have you seen Sister Lian’?”
“Be patient. Don’t you know that important people always make a grand entrance last!”
As more and more people gathered around, Gu Qingheng was getting anxious.
Then, while talking to Gu Yu, his feet were constantly moving, never staying still.
This made Gu Yu have to comfort him, telling Gu Qingheng to be less anxious.
This was the Tang Sect, not the Gu family.
Everything had to follow the sect’s rules.
“Alas, sometimes I really think it was the wrong decision to send Sister Lian’ to the Tang Sect back then… If Sister Lian’ were still with us, perhaps we two would have already gotten married.”
“…”
“Haha, you talk so interestingly, young man! However, you’re still too young. We’ll talk about it again in a couple of years!”
While Gu Yu was speechless listening to Gu Qingheng’s words, He Li couldn’t help but laugh heartily. Then, with an appreciative look, he patted Gu Qingheng’s shoulder, saying that he was very optimistic about him.
Not old, but he thinks of quite a lot.
It was comparable to when he was young!
“I’m actually glad I sent Tang Lian away. Otherwise, if you had corrupted her, such a good girl would have lost her childlike innocence.”
“Hmph, when brother-in-law was my age, you were already married to my sister.”
“Ahem, I was in a special situation.”
“What special situation? Isn’t it just moving in? I want to move in too!”
“Haha, Qingheng, you really have the idea of moving in? I’m also reluctant to let go of this precious daughter. If you can move in, that would be great.”
Just as Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng were bickering, Tang Haocang’s voice suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingheng’s expression immediately became serious.
Although he really wanted to marry Sister Lian’, if he were to move into the Tang Sect, his father would beat him to death first…
But now, facing his future father-in-law, he couldn’t make the other party angry.
What should he do!
While thinking of a way, Gu Qingheng secretly tugged at Gu Yu’s sleeve, wanting his brother-in-law to help him.
Although, if he really moved in, his brother-in-law would probably be clapping his hands with joy…
“Sect Leader Tang shouldn’t say that. Don’t look at my brother-in-law’s young age; his future is limitless.”
“Oh? My daughter’s martial arts are also getting better and better, especially her hidden weapon skills, which are incredibly exquisite. Many young people in the Tang Sect admire her greatly and have privately asked me many questions!”
Gu Yu did not stand by and watch Gu Qingheng’s current predicament.
When Tang Haocang heard Gu Yu’s words, he didn’t just laugh it off. Instead, his expression became very serious.
Tang Haocang truly didn’t want to marry off his precious daughter.
If it weren’t for Gu Qingheng, finding a powerful junior from the sect to marry in would also ensure that the Tang family wouldn’t break the lineage.
However, the Gu family’s kindness in helping to find his daughter, and Tang Lian’s great affection for Gu Qingheng… made Tang Haocang unable to pursue his own thoughts, and he could only watch his daughter marry out.
However, hearing Gu Qingheng say he wanted to move in at this moment.
Even if it was just a jest, it was fine to take it seriously.
As long as Gu Qingheng was willing to move into the Tang Sect, he would treat him as another son.
He wouldn’t let him suffer any hardship!
“That’s natural. A future court official will undoubtedly have a smooth future. With the help of my wife and father-in-law, and relying on Qingheng’s abilities, it’s not a problem for him to become a high-ranking court official.”
“…”
“By the way, Qingheng will participate in the imperial examinations next year.”
After hearing Tang Haocang’s words, although Gu Yu understood his reluctance to marry his daughter far away, he was now on his brother-in-law’s side.
And when he mentioned high-ranking court officials, Gu Yu deliberately emphasized his tone, leaving Tang Haocang speechless.
These people from the Jianghu least wanted to be involved with the imperial court.
But Gu Qingheng’s future development was heading in that direction… making him conflicted, wondering if he should directly sever ties while they were still young.
“Uncle Tang, if I were you, I would be very satisfied with Qingheng as my future son-in-law. After all, if he serves in the imperial court, the Tang Sect will have more guarantees for any troubles they encounter in the future.”
Gu Yu seemed to have seen through Tang Haocang’s thoughts and added another sentence, making Tang Haocang even more conflicted.
Although what Gu Yu said was very tempting.
However, ever since ancient times, Jianghu sects that got involved with the imperial court often became troublesome.
He didn’t want to be called a lackey of the imperial court!
“Uncle Tang, please rest assured, I will treat Sister Lian’ well and will not make her sad or angry. All the family’s money will be managed by her, and her freedom will not be restricted. As long as it is within the scope of safety, she can go wherever she wants… Moreover, even if I serve in the imperial court in the future, it will not impose many restrictions on the Tang Sect. You can rest assured about this.”
Gu Qingheng also had a very resourceful mind. The words he spoke now made Tang Haocang feel very comfortable.
