In a courtyard in the Gao Manor, a dignified and gentle woman held a book of poems in her hand and murmured in a daze,
"If life is just like the first time we met, why would the autumn wind be sad for the painting fan? People change their minds easily, and people change their minds easily. Was this poem written for me?"
This woman was none other than the daughter of the Northern Wei royal family, the Great Sui Qi Duke Zhangsun Sheng, Zhangsun Wugou.
Just as she was holding the poetry collection in her hands, Zhangsun Wuji hurried into the house.
"Guanyin maidservant, hurry up and get ready. The second son of the Duke of Tang, Li Shimin, is here.”
Zhangsun Wugou put down the poem in his hand and stood up slowly.
"Elder brother, I already have someone I like in my heart, and I'm not willing to marry Young Master Li.”
"How muddle-headed!" Zhangsun Wuji said with a pained expression,"Why are you still thinking about Little Nan Nan and the others 'father?
The world is so big, and you don't even know his name. Where are you going to find him? Could it be that she was going to stay single for the rest of her life because of him?”
Zhangsun Wugou tacitly agreed and did not say anything. He only carefully stroked the poetry collection in his hand.
She knew who the other party was, but she did not have the courage to recognize him.
The other party was a banished immortal, and she was just an ordinary woman whose parents had died and lived under someone else's roof. How could she dare to climb up?
"Hey." When Zhangsun Wuji saw this, he sighed deeply and said,""Guanyin maid, Shimin has been on good terms with me since young. He is talented and is the son of the Duke of Tang.
Uncle and I both want you to marry him. Why are you rejecting this good marriage for someone whose identity and name are unknown?”
Zhangsun Wugou continued to remain silent. No matter what Zhangsun Wuji said, he was unmoved.
" Mother…Uncle…"
At this moment, a soft child's voice was heard.
They saw a pair of cute little twin girls, about three or four years old, stumbling over.
Zhangsun Wugou and Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly hugged a little girl each, doting smiles appearing on their faces.
The two little girls were both wearing fiery red woolen clothes.
She had big, clear eyes, a small face that could be broken by a blow, and a round face. She was even cuter than a Barbie doll.
Anyone who saw it would love it from the bottom of their hearts.
The little girl in Zhangsun Wuji's arms tugged at Zhangsun Wuji's beard and pouted her little pink lips.
"Uncle, why didn't you bring Tanghulu for Nan today? You promised Nan Nan yesterday!”
Zhangsun Wuji hugged Nan Nan and used his beard to tickle her. It tickled Nan Nan so much that she giggled.
"How could Uncle forget the candied haws that he promised Nan Nan? Uncle will go out and buy them for Nan Nan later.”
Tuan Tuan, who was in Zhangsun Wugou's arms, immediately struggled to get up when he heard that. He mumbled loudly,""Uncle…Uncle, and Tuan Tuan's mung bean cake.”
Zhangsun Wuji laughed out loud and touched Tuan Tuan's little face." Good, good, good. Uncle remembers Nan Nan's candied haws and Tuan Tuan's mung bean cakes.”
Nan Nan and Tuan Tuan clapped their little hands happily.
After playing in the courtyard for a while, she ran away with her short legs.
Looking at their backs, Zhangsun Wugou shook his head lovingly." Elder Brother, Nan Nan and Tuan Tuan are teething, so it's not good for them to eat too much sweet food.”
Zhangsun Wuji waved his hand and said nonchalantly,"If Nan Nan and the others like to eat, let them eat as long as they don't eat too much. Didn't the Guanyin maid pester her father for candied haws all day long when she was young?”
When Zhangsun Wugou heard this, his fair face turned slightly red.
At this moment, a servant walked in and said respectfully,"Biao Young Master, Biao Young Lady, Old Master wants you to meet the guests in the main hall.”
Zhangsun Wuji stood up and said to Zhangsun Wugou,""Shi Min sincerely came to visit. Even if you reject this marriage, you should meet him and explain it clearly.
Otherwise, not only will uncle be embarrassed, but my relationship with Shimin will also develop some animosity.”
Zhangsun Wugou nodded lightly." That's right.”
Four years ago, Zhangsun Wugou encountered some accidents on his way to the temple to offer incense.
Not long after she returned, she became pregnant.
Gao Shilian and Zhangsun Wuji unanimously decided to let Zhangsun Wugou take the abortion medicine.
However, in the end, he could not persuade Zhangsun Wugou to use his life to threaten him, so he could only give up.
In the end, she gave birth to twin daughters.
Later, Zhangsun Wuji invited his best friend Li Shimin to his residence for a meal. Li Shimin caught a glimpse of Zhangsun Wugou's figure and couldn't forget him from then on.
Gao Shilian saw that Li Shimin was very talented and was the son of Li Yuan, Duke of Tang.
He decided to betroth Zhangsun Wugou to him.
Who knew that Zhangsun Wugou would never agree to this marriage.
Li Shimin was also a devoted man, so he waited for Zhangsun Wugou for a few years.
……
Gao Manor, Main Hall.
A young man in his prime was talking to Gao Shilian.
Although the two of them were a generation apart, they had a good chat.
This young man was none other than the young Li Shimin.
As Li Shimin lowered his head to drink tea, he happened to see Zhangsun Wugou and Zhangsun Wuji walking over from the back hall.
His eyes immediately lit up with joy. He quickly stood up and said politely,"Miss Zhangsun, how have you been?"
Zhangsun Wugou bowed slightly in return and said,""Greetings, Young Master Li."
After they greeted each other, Gao Shilian said,""Guanyin maid, it's spring and the flowers are blooming. Young Master Li has specially come to the residence to invite you out for a spring outing.
I see that you've been staying at home for the past few days. Why don't you go out and relieve your boredom?”
Facing Gao Shilian's help and matchmaking, Li Shimin revealed a smile that he thought was handsome.
"I wonder if Miss Zhangsun would do me the honor?”
Zhangsun Wugou pursed his lips and looked at Gao Shilian apologetically. Then, he said to Li Shimin,
"I understand Young Master Li's intentions, but I already have someone in my heart.
All these years, Young Master Li has delayed his marriage because of me.
We are destined to never be together. Please forget me, Young Master Li, and find another wife and mother.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shi Min felt his brain explode. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.
His body swayed. If it wasn't for the servant beside him who quickly caught him, he would have fallen to the ground.
Ever since that day when he had taken a quick glance, Zhangsun Wugou's mark had been left in his heart, and he could not get rid of it no matter how hard he tried.
He had thought that with the help of Gao Shilian and Zhangsun Wuji, as long as he persisted, he would be able to move Zhangsun Wugou sooner or later.
Who would have thought that Zhangsun Wugou would actually hear such bad news today? He already had someone in his heart!
Gao Shilian looked at Zhangsun Wugou, whose eyes were filled with determination, and then at Li Shiming, whose face was pale.
He closed his eyes helplessly. After a long time, he sighed,
"What an ill-fated fate!"
