After so many years, Gu Niannian has reached the age of marriage. She is beautiful and a famous talented woman in Lin'an City. There are still people who want to marry her, but most of them back off when they hear that Gu Niannian suffers from heart disease and have no intention of visiting her anymore.
Gu Bole wanted to use his daughter to help him move to the next level. He made some money over the years and became a middle-class wealthy family in Lin'an, but it was still difficult to maintain his fortune. In recent years, due to wrong decisions, he suffered a lot of losses. On the surface, he was still the wealthy Gu family, but only he knew that it was just a hollow one.
Over the years, he has also carefully observed the wealthy families in Lin'an. The Zhou family is the richest, and most of the restaurants in Lin'an are run by his family.
He had always had his eye on the Zhou family. The Zhou family, the richest family in Lin'an, had businesses spread across the country, and their connections were so extensive that they even had connections with officials in the capital. But he could only think about it. If his daughter didn't have a heart condition, he could send a visiting card and meet her. There might be a glimmer of hope.
But he happened to have contracted such a fatal disease that even people from the same social class as him would have to think twice, let alone the Zhou family.
After that, Gu Bole no longer had such big ideas. He just wanted to find someone from a higher family background than his own who could help his family.
The pillow came just when I was feeling sleepy.
At a dinner party a while ago, the young master of the Ma family intentionally or unintentionally expressed his admiration for Gu Niannian and expressed his intention to marry her.
The Ma family's business is bigger than the Gu family's, and their network of contacts is wider, but that's just a little wider. It can't be compared with the Zhou family of Zhou Shihang, the richest man in Lin'an.
However, the Ma family is the best choice for his family now. Seeing that his daughter is sixteen years old, if she is any older, she may not be able to be sold for a good price, so he agreed without thinking.
When she returned home and told Mrs. Bai about this, she still felt more distressed for her daughter and said worriedly, "The Ma family started out as an escort agency, and Ma Jiahe is a big, strong man, even scary. What if he bullies Nian Nian? Otherwise... we should take another look at each other. My daughter has only just reached the age of marriage..."
Mrs. Bai didn't want her daughter to get married. Seeing that she didn't have many years to live, she didn't want her daughter to suffer in someone else's family in her last few years. But she didn't dare to disobey her husband's wishes. After all, her husband was the one who was busy with the family's livelihood. Although she helped with the accounts, she still felt that she was relying on her husband to have such a good life.
Now that her parents are gone and her children all have heart diseases, she can't imagine what would happen to him without Gu Bole.
She could only compromise and tentatively seek her husband's advice, trying her best to let Gu Niannian survive under her wings and protect her for the rest of her life.
This time, Gu Bole said resolutely, "No, I have to marry you, whether you want to or not." He swung his sleeves and prepared to leave. Turning around, he saw Gu Niannian: "Father, does my daughter have to get married?"
Gu Bole thought she was trying to act out again and said firmly, "You must..."
With a bang, before Gu Bole could finish his words, Gu Niannian fell to the ground, her face as pale as paper. Bai was the first to rush over and feel her daughter's pulse. She quickly told Hehua to call a doctor. The hand she held was also trembling slightly, and she kept muttering to herself, "Please don't get hurt. You are as stubborn as your brother. Your brother was so stubborn that he insisted on taking the imperial examination. There is still no news. If you leave your mother again, she will really not survive."
At this time, Gu Bole who was standing next to them also realized that his words were too harsh. He wanted to say a few words of comfort but didn't know how to start. It was neither right to stand there nor to sit there, so he told He Ye to take good care of the lady and the young lady and to tell him in time if anything happened, and then left.
Doctor Hu came to check on the body. After a thorough examination, he concluded that the body should be collected. Mrs. Bai fainted from crying.
Unexpectedly, when she woke up the next day, she heard the news that her daughter had woken up and recovered. Her heart was beating fast and she even suspected that she might have a heart disease too.
At this time, Gu Niannian, who was still in bed, thought she was in a dream. She was stunned by what she heard and thought to herself: "Dreaming that I came back to life after death, this dream is quite novel."
But she didn't care about that. She hadn't seen her mother in her dreams since she passed away. If she hadn't looked at her photos frequently, she would have forgotten what she looked like. This was a rare opportunity, and she didn't want to be disturbed by anyone, especially her cheap father who was standing next to her and seemed so happy.
Then he held his head with his hands and cried out: "There are too many people here, I can't breathe, can you please go out, my mother can take care of me here"
Seeing her daughter like this, Bai Shi knew how to disobey her. She waved her hand and asked the maids to leave. However, the most annoying person was still standing there in fear, and Bai Shi didn't want to just ask him to leave.
Gu Niannian suddenly had an idea: "Mother, my daughter wants to get up, put on her clothes and go out for some fresh air. It's not appropriate for the father to be here!"
Gu Bole was not annoyed when he heard this. He was thinking about how to establish a relationship with the Zhou family and how he could become successful in the future. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go out. Madam, please buy some nice clothes for your daughter and make some delicious food. Look at how thin she is..."
After Gu Bole left, Gu Niannian asked Bai directly: "Where is this? What dynasty?"
Bai just thought that she had just escaped from the gates of hell and saved her life. There is gain and loss, and losing some memory is too insignificant compared to losing her life. So she answered patiently while helping Gu Niannian put on her clothes.
After getting dressed, Gu Niannian learned that this dynasty was between the Song and Yuan dynasties, and they called it the Sheng Dynasty. The system of the Sheng Dynasty was roughly the same as that of the Song Dynasty. The emperor had just come to power and had many things to rebuild, so he specially opened the special examination to recruit talented people.
Candidates from all over the country rushed to the capital to take part in the Spring Examination. His twin brother Gu Rujun also passed the local examination and took part in the Spring Examination this year...
Bai's face was filled with worry as she mentioned Gu Rujun. "It's already July now, the Spring Examination is over, and the list of names should be out. But there's no news about your brother. I sent people to look for him, but they couldn't find him... Do you think he's safe?"
Bai shook her head again after she finished speaking: "No, no, your brother has been smart since he was young, he definitely won't..."
Gu Niannian was just about to say a few words of comfort
At this moment, a flash of white light suddenly entered Gu Niannian's mind, and the memories played in her mind like a movie. Only then did she realize that she was not dreaming: "She actually traveled through time and space."
After a moment, Gu Niannian recovered. She decided to make the best of it, especially since her mother was still alive. She just didn't know what her situation would be like in the 21st century.
I took a few deep breaths, calmed myself down, and sorted out my thoughts.
Grasping at the key points of his memory, he asked his mother, "Gu Bole wanted to marry me to Ma Jiahe, so I had a heart attack and nearly died."
Bai hesitated, nodded slightly, and then felt something was wrong and explained, "Your father is a little anxious and wants to find a family for you..."
Gu Niannian almost spit out the tea she had just taken. She swallowed the tea and asked, "Mother, I am well now. What kind of family do you think father will find for me?"
"You just recovered from your illness. Your father shouldn't be so worried, right? He just asked me to buy you more clothes and make more delicious food for you. He still cares about you."
Bai's words comforted Gu Niannian and herself at the same time.
Gu Niannian sneered: "Mother, you don't understand Gu Bole at all."
When Mrs. Bai heard her daughter calling her husband by his first name, she reminded her, "Niannian, how can you call your father by his first name? If he hears you, he'll get scolded."
Even in the 21st century, a mother would be heartbroken for quite some time because of her father's affair, let alone in this era where men are superior to women and the husband is the most respected. Furthermore, the two had lived together for such a long time.
Gu Niannian did not force her mother to change her mind immediately, but just nodded and said, "I won't do that again in the future."
Fortunately, because of this incident, her mother's trust in Gu Bole is not as high as before, so she has plenty of time now and can take it slow.
