Chapter 224 I heard that you have something going on?
As spring comes and flowers bloom, Gu Lanzhi holds her baby under the peach tree in the villa and admires the flowers. Gu Shurui makes tea for Gu Lanzhi in the pavilion next to her.
Ever since the weather got warmer, Gu Lanzhi often took his child out of the palace. He wanted the baby to be exposed to the world outside the palace.
Although it has not been confirmed whether the baby has special abilities, Gu Lanzhi still takes the baby out of the palace frequently according to his own ideas.
But this would make Li Beichen in the palace unhappy.
In the past, when Gu Lanzhi left the palace without the baby, she could return to the palace earlier.
Ever since she started taking the baby out of the palace, Gu Lanzhi has been returning later and later, and Li Beichen has been waiting longer and longer.
One time, Gu Lanzhi was so engrossed in discussing something with Chen Yi and others at the Intelligence Center that he had not returned to the palace until it was completely dark. It was Li Beichen who came to the villa and brought his wife and children back to the palace!
Since that time, Li Beichen made an agreement with Gu Lanzhi that he must return to the palace before dark.
"Brother, the tea is ready, have some!"
Gu Shurui walked to Gu Lanzhi's side, stretched out his hands and took the child in his arms.
Gu Shurui likes the baby very much. Every time he sees the baby, he always holds him in his arms. The baby is also close to Gu Shurui and likes to be held by Gu Shurui.
Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Shurui with a smile and said jokingly, "I heard that you have something going on?"
Gu Shurui held the baby firmly and looked at Gu Lanzhi blankly.
"Situation? What's the situation?"
Gu Lanzhi rolled his eyes. "I was asking you, why are you asking me the other way around?"
"I just asked you because I don't know what you are talking about!"
"really do not know?"
"I do not know!"
Gu Lanzhi smiled ambiguously and said, "I heard that half a month ago, in this villa, you happened to save a girl who almost fell into the water?
Since then, that girl has always come to the villa hoping to run into you?"
Chen Yi told Gu Lanzhi the news, and Gu Lanzhi was very happy when he first heard it!
He hoped that Gu Shurui could find a girl to marry and have children to live out his life with, because Uncle Gu Lanzhi only had Gu Shurui as his child.
If Gu Shurui really liked men, Gu Lanzhi wouldn't say much.
But Gu Shurui's sexual orientation has not been really confirmed yet. If he can find a girl to marry and have children, it will be regarded as continuing the bloodline of his third uncle's third room.
"Oh, this is what you are talking about!" Gu Shurui suddenly realized.
"Tell me, what's going on!" Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Shurui with curiosity.
Gu Shurui knew his brother's character, so he didn't hide anything and spoke his thoughts directly.
"It really happened. The girl just didn't walk steadily and her body tilted and she almost fell into the lake.
I happened to pass by and subconsciously reached out to pull the girl.
The girl also thanked me, and besides, it was not a big deal, so I didn't take it to heart.
Later, the girl did come a few more times, but I was busy and never spoke to her again."
Gu Lanzhi stared at Gu Shurui with shining eyes, "So how do you feel about that girl?"
"Feel?"
Gu Shurui recalled the situation that day, frowned slightly and said: "I don't feel anything special, just... a strange girl!"
Gu Lanzhi sighed, "Do you think that girl is pretty? Are you not moved at all?"
"Is the girl pretty? Uh... Brother, I can't remember clearly what the girl looked like.
It was just a quick meeting that day, helping out casually, nothing much."
"That girl deliberately wanted to run into you, and you didn't have any thoughts?"
"I have no idea! If you hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known that the girl came to meet me by chance."
Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Shurui's disappointing appearance and sighed heavily.
Gu Shurui raised his eyebrows, "Brother, do you want me to find a girl to marry?"
Gu Lanzhi glanced at Gu Shurui, and after some deliberation, he said, "Whether you want to find a girl or a husband, it's up to you to decide.
The reason I mentioned this girl is simply because I think she's attracted to you.
You are not young anymore, it is time for you to consider this aspect. "
Gu Lanzhi did not say that he wanted Gu Shurui to continue the family line for the third house. He did not want to restrain Gu Shurui with such a thing.
That is Gu Shurui's life. Gu Lanzhi still hopes that he can have someone he truly loves. Even if he never has his own children in his life, it is no big deal.
Things like incense and offerings are not as important as Gu Shurui's happiness in life.
Between continuing the family line and Gu Shurui's lifelong happiness, Gu Lanzhi chose to let Gu Shurui live a happy life.
After hearing what Gu Lanzhi said, Gu Shurui lowered his head and fiddled with the baby's little fingers, and said in a muffled voice: "Brother, you know it.
Everyone in Kyoto knows about my past relationship with the Fifth Prince of the previous dynasty, so how could anyone be willing to marry me? "
Gu Lanzhi opened his mouth, wanting to say something to comfort Gu Shurui, but he also knew that what Gu Shurui said was right.
"Well... the world is so big, you will eventually meet the person you truly like!
Just like the girl who almost fell into the water, isn't she also from Kyoto?"
Gu Shurui looked up blankly, "Brother, do you know where that girl comes from?"
Gu Lanzhi nodded and said, "The second daughter of the new Imperial Censor will be coming of age in a few months."
Before Chen Yi told Gu Lanzhi about Gu Shurui's news, he had already checked out everything about this girl, so Gu Lanzhi knew everything.
Gu Shurui nodded in understanding and said nothing, but the scene of that day flashed back to his mind.
Gu Lanzhi saw that Gu Shurui had no desire to say anything more. He opened his mouth but said nothing.
These things cannot be rushed, and there is no point in rushing. He can't just match people up casually, so he should just wait for Gu Shurui's fate to come.
