Oh my god, can you play like this?
Chapter 57 What is the meaning
"Brother, I'm not rushing you. You're not young anymore. There are already several children your age. Why are you still so anxious..."
Gu Lanzhi quickly interrupted the eldest lady's urging for marriage, "Your Majesty, I haven't broken off my engagement with the Fifth Prince yet. Even if I want to get married quickly, I have to wait until I break off the engagement!"
"Then you can choose someone first. Auntie knows that you don't like the Fifth Prince, so breaking off the engagement with him is inevitable, but this won't stop you from finding someone you like first!"
Gu Lanzhi raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. It really is true that no matter where you are or what dynasty you are in, you can't avoid being urged to get married!
"Mom, I understand. I will hold on tight, okay?"
Although Gu Lanzhi was impatient with the eldest lady's urging for marriage, her tone reminded him of his mother in his previous life.
Just before the end of the world, his mother always urged him to get married, which made Gu Lanzhi look at the eldest lady with more affection.
The eldest lady also knew that it was not good to rush her brother like this. She sighed and said, "Don't think I'm annoying. You know your physical condition very well. If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid you'll miss the good opportunity to have children."
Gu Lanzhi rubbed his head against the Madam's arm in a naughty way, "I know, mother, I know everything, but you can't just find someone casually when it comes to love, right? If that's the case, I might as well just make do with the Fifth Prince.
But that kind of life, mother, do you think I will be happy? I can't stand living a life of frustration.
Look at Third Uncle and Third Madam. Have they ever said a few words to each other in their lives? Have they ever had any warmth between husband and wife? I don’t want to live my life like that.”
The eldest lady sighed again. She had no resistance to Gu Lanzhi's cheating. She touched Gu Lanzhi's head and said, "Okay, just know what's going on. I won't push you anymore."
"Hehe...Auntie is so nice." Gu Lanzhi gave the eldest lady a big smile.
The eldest lady took a quick glance and saw the blueprint of the villa that Gu Lanzhi had placed on the table. She walked forward curiously and looked at it carefully.
"Brother, what did you draw?"
"Oh, didn't my mother have two farms in her dowry?"
"The two outside the west city gate?"
"Yes, that's right, it's those two. The land in that manor is not very good, so I thought of merging the two manors together and opening a resort."
"Resort?" The eldest lady had never heard of this word, so she looked at Gu Lanzhi in confusion.
Gu Lanzhi walked up to the eldest lady, took out a blueprint and said, "It's a manor that integrates food, accommodation and entertainment.
There are so many dignitaries in Kyoto, but they cannot leave the city too far for various reasons. I thought of building a manor like this so that they can enjoy the beautiful scenery, delicious food and relax without traveling far.
Auntie, you know, there are so many soldiers retiring from the battlefield. They won’t have a good life even if they return to their hometowns. I thought that if I could earn more money, I could give them more money so that their life won’t be so hard when they return home.
You can't work hard for the country and end up living in poverty! "
The eldest lady glanced at Gu Lanzhi and said in a puzzled manner, "They are soldiers from Dongshun State. Ultimately, it is the court that should be in charge of them.
You are the same as your grandfather and uncles. All the money was used to subsidize the soldiers."
The eldest lady sighed again and continued, "Although I don't understand why you are all like this, I support you."
Gu Lanzhi smiled at the eldest lady without explaining anything.
People who have never been to the battlefield cannot fully understand why they did this. Even if Gu Lanzhi explained it to the eldest lady, she could only understand it but could not empathize with them. In this case, Gu Lanzhi was too lazy to explain.
Gu Lanzhi briefly explained to the first lady what each place in the resort was used for. After that, the first lady became very interested in the resort and told Gu Lanzhi that she would be the first to go and play when the resort was completed.
Gu Lanzhi naturally would not refuse.
The eldest lady accompanied Gu Lanzhi in the yard to bask in the sun, watching Xiao Yan'er playing shuttlecock with the maids. Their life was very leisurely.
However, Gu Shurui, who was taken to the Fifth Prince's Mansion by Mo Yi, was not in such a good mood.
The Fifth Prince gave Mo Yi face and let him enter the Fifth Prince's Mansion. After all, Mo Yi was Gu Lanzhi's subordinate, and the Fifth Prince would definitely not stop Mo Yi. However, he stopped Gu Shurui outside the mansion and did not let him in.
As soon as Mo Yi saw the Fifth Prince, he repeated Gu Lanzhi's words to him verbatim.
After hearing this, the Fifth Prince frowned deeply and looked at Mo Yi and asked, "What does Lan Zhi mean by this? I am on good terms with Gu Shurui because he is Lan Zhi's younger brother.
What does Lanzhi mean by doing this now?"
Mo Yi lowered his eyebrows, hiding the contempt in his eyes and said respectfully: "I don't know, I will obey whatever the general tells me to do."
The Fifth Prince frowned even deeper. He knew that Mo Yi was not telling the truth, but he could not force Mo Yi to do anything.
"Lan Zhi sent someone to tell this prince to meet Gu Shurui twice. What does Lan Zhi want this prince to say to Gu Shurui?" The fifth prince looked at Mo Yi inquiringly.
But how could Mo Yi let the Fifth Prince see the clues? He remained calm and said respectfully, "I don't know."
Hearing the answer, the fifth prince took a deep breath and waved his hand irritably, "You go, I will go see Gu Shurui once."
The Fifth Prince deliberately emphasized the word "once" so that Mo Yi could go back and tell Gu Lanzhi. He wanted Gu Lanzhi to know that he went to see Gu Shurui only after listening to Gu Lanzhi's words.
Mo Yi clasped his fists, bowed to the Fifth Prince and prepared to leave the room. But before he could leave the room, the Fifth Prince called Mo Yi again.
"How is Lanzhi? Is he okay?"
"The general is fine. The imperial physician said he just needs to rest well."
"Why did Lan Zhi confiscate the medicinal herbs that this prince had sent?"
"I don't know." How could Mo Yi reveal the news to the Fifth Prince? No matter what the Fifth Prince asked, Mo Yi always answered that he didn't know.
The Fifth Prince also knew that he could not get anything out of Mo Yi, so he simply let Mo Yi go.
Mo Yi left the Fifth Prince's Mansion and told Gu Shurui what the Fifth Prince said during his meeting with Gu Shurui.
Mo Yi originally thought that Gu Shurui would return to the general's mansion and wait for the Fifth Prince's people to send a message to Gu Shurui, and then go to meet the Fifth Prince as agreed.
But what Mo Yi didn't expect was that Gu Shurui had no intention of going back. He even told Mo Yi to go back by himself and he would be waiting for him in the carriage.
What else could Mo Yi do? It was a fight between two willing partners. Mo Yi could only look at Gu Shurui with contempt and go back home to report to Gu Lanzhi.
