She didn't want to marry her under the name of her brother. If those people marry her, they would inevitably stick to her brother. In the end, they would still dislike her background, which would be better than being single.

Nalan Jing: "Brother Su is not the one who is interested in the family. When he went to Beijing, Mrs. Su had taken a fancy to him for many daughters of aristocratic families, but he never looked at them too much. He devoted himself to the career of the government. If he was unwilling to marry you, even if you were Zhou Gu's sister, no one could force him."

Zhou Shuangyi looked at Nalan Jing: "Princess, he doesn't even look down on those noble girls, so how could he marry me?"

Nalan Jing said to the point: "Although your background is not as good as those girls in aristocratic families, your temperament is one in a thousand. It is his blessing for Brother Su to marry you."

Zhou Shuangyi opened her mouth wide and looked at Nalan Jing blankly, her face turned red.

She never knew that a woman could speak so much that she could make her heart full of joy.

Nalan Jing looked at her with a shocked expression and burst into laughter.

Zhou Shuangyi's face turned redder, but she didn't say anything more, just said, "I... everything depends on the arrangements of my brother and sister-in-law, but you must also promise me. If he doesn't want to, don't force him."

What else did Mrs. Zhou want to say? Nalan Jing glanced at her and closed her mouth obediently.

Nalan Jing knew what Mrs. Zhou was thinking. Things had happened. He wanted to confirm that Su Shirong and Zhou Shuangyi did not exist, so that Su Shirong would have to marry Zhou Shuangyi.

But she had forgotten that if Su Shirong really did this, the Zhou family would only suffer.

On the contrary, the Zhou family treated the matter with sincerity and simplified things. He was willing to marry him. Everyone was happy. If he was unwilling, the Zhou family would also regard harmony as the most important thing. If it was done at this time, even if Zhou Shuangyi's reputation was damaged, Zhou Shuangyi should have received it.

After hearing Nalan Jing's arrangement, Mrs. Zhou sent someone to send a message to Zhou Gu.

In the study room.

Zhou Gu had two cups of tea, and the pole stood in front of the window and said nothing for a long time.

Su Shirong sat on the chair behind him, his face calm.

The person sent by Mrs. Zhou said a few words in Zhou Gu's ear and left, and took him to the door before leaving.

Zhou Gu did not hold his feet anymore and looked back at Su Shirong sitting on the chair.

Su Shirong sat down in a dangerous position and nodded at him.

Zhou Gu sighed, turned around, looked out the window, and suddenly said, "Arong, we have been close friends for many years. You should know that Shuangyi is my only relative in this world."

"When my parents died early when I was a child, I knew that I was bringing her up. In fact, it was not the case. I needed money to study. She was very young at that time. She went to the field to farm, plant vegetables, and grow a lot of fruits and vegetables. She carried a vegetable basket to set up stalls in the street market every day, earning a few cents. When she was more than ten cents, she saved it to support me to study..."

When Zhou Gu mentioned the past, a seven-foot man would still burst into tears.

Zhou Gu lowered his face and let the tears flow down, and then he said calmly: "At that time, I often copied books for the Book Pavilion. I could earn half a tael of silver every month, but half a tael of silver was not enough for me to study. My sister would give me the money she saved, saying that if it was not enough, she would learn embroidery skills and make more money when she became an embroiderer."

"I didn't let her go, she agreed, but when I went to the academy, she secretly went to be an apprentice alone. I don't know how she survived that time. Such a young child had pinholes on his hands, but she smiled and told me that there was already someone in the embroidery workshop who was willing to be her master..."

Zhou Gu said the more he said, the calmer he spoke: "I lost money in the year I went to Beijing to take the exam, and I was framed by my classmates. At that time, I gave up. I thought that when I went back, I was also a scholar, able to teach and make a living, and taking good care of my sister in the future, I would be worthy of my parents underground."

"Shuangyi heard that I lost my money. Most of the money was her wages for being an embroiderer. She was not angry and even made a large table of good dishes to eat, so that I could help her see the dishes in the fields if I had time."

"I lived at home for three days. When I wanted to go out to make a living, my sister came back from the embroidery workshop and gave me fifteen taels of silver. She signed the contract with the embroidery workshop. She needed to be an embroidery lady in the embroidery workshop for five years before she could leave."

"I didn't know how hard it was for the embroiderer who signed Shiqi. I just heard that the fifteen taels of silver were her five years of wages. How could she live at home?"

"She smiled and told me that she had planted the land and vegetables, and that she could take good care of herself by relying on these."

Su Shirong listened very seriously. In fact, when he used to drink with Zhou Gu, he had mentioned these things many times.

Not only during the ten years of hard study, but also during the period when Zhou Gu was dismissed from office in Youzhou, Zhou Shuangyi was also taking care of Zhou Gu's daily life, and then embroidered the living and raised the desolate Zhou Gu.

Su Shirong went to the mansion many times and ate the food made by Zhou Shuangyi.

Zhou Gu turned around and looked at Su Shirong, his eyes were red, and his eyes were clear and clear, "I know that my mistake today is not with Brother Su. If you don't want to marry Shuangyi, I will never complain."

He said he had no complaints, but he was also asking Su Shirong how he didn't understand Zhou Shuangyi.

Zhou Gu is not someone else, he will not force Su Shirong, but because he is his sister, he will force him like this.

Su Shirong knew that he just needed to refuse politely, and Zhou Gu would expose the matter and not blame him for the past.

Su Shirong sat on the chair, looked at the redness in Zhou Gu's eyes, and thought about it over and over again, and then said, "I am willing to marry Shuangyi."

This time he did not ask Zhou Shuangyi if she was willing, because Mrs. Zhou had already brought her a message. If Zhou Shuangyi was unwilling, Zhou Gu would not say these words.

Zhou Gu thought about what he refused, but when he heard his response, he didn't know what to say.

However, Su Shirong said calmly: "Shuangyi is a good girl. It is my blessing that she is willing to marry me."

"Shirong..." Zhou Gu's unbearable expression.

Su Shirong knew that he was soft-hearted. If he had said a few more words at this time, he would definitely not force each other again.

But he has never been this kind of person.

He said openly and sincerely: "Brother Zhou, my grandmother has also seen many women from aristocratic families over the years. My parents have both died and my career is mediocre. I am worried that I will be wronged by other girls... Shuangyi is different from those girls. She can understand my situation and can accompany me to advance and retreat. Isn't it a blessing for Shirong to find such a virtuous wife in this life?"

Zhou Gu looked at Su Shirong in a daze. Over the years, not no one has proposed marriage in the Zhou family last year. Those people had complimentary and pleasing smiles on their faces, but when they mentioned his sister, they could not hide their tone. No one would look down on a farmer's woman. This was the first time he heard someone admire Zhou Shuangyi so sincerely.
