As we all know, Gu Tingye in the process of getting along with Minglan, quite take care of this little girl, when she was a child, she lost to Minglan in the pot throwing game, and lost to Minglan in the polo game after growing up, giving people a feeling of destiny to be together. Gu Tingye himself also mentioned these two things to Minglan after marriage, and also confessed that he would lose to Minglan for the rest of his life, and the audience could not help but smile at his aunt. But you think that Gu Tingye's two losses to Minglan are the beginning of love, in fact, every time he is not for Minglan.
Gu Tingye's first pot throwing was a deliberate loss to Minglan, but the premise was that Gu Tingye, at the instigation of Yuan Wenchun, won most of Hualan's dowry when he competed with Changfeng to throw pots, and when he saw that the two masters of the Sheng family came out to watch the battle, he realized that he was not right to do so, so he took the initiative to say that he did not want to give up, but Minglan had to win back in order to regain the face of the Sheng family, and Gu Tingye took advantage of the situation to lose Hualan's dowry back to Minglan's hands.
Gu Tingye did not want to rob Yu Yanran of her dead mother's relics at the polo game for the second time, but Yu Yanhong repeatedly asked Gu Tingye to help, and Gu Tingye thought that soon after his father would go to Yu Yanran's house for him to propose to Yu Yanran, he agreed to team up with Yu Yanhong, and then quietly released water. Everyone present at that time could see that Minglan was fighting for his girlfriend, that the golden hairpin was taken for Yu Yanran, and that Gu Tingye just took the opportunity to send the color head to Yanran's hand.
Before Gu Yankai's death, Gu Tingye did not have other thoughts about Minglan, at most he saw that Minglan lived carefully in the Sheng family and developed some sympathy for her. What really made Gu Tingye make up his mind to marry Minglan as a wife was when he was preparing to wander the rivers and lakes, Minglan suggested from the perspective of Sister Rong that Gu Tingye should not fall, Gu Tingye wanted to find a stepmother who could be good to his girl, and Minglan's momentary kindness made her become Gu Tingye's prey.
Even if Gu Tingye came out of the crowd and tried his best to get Minglan to marry himself, it was still not love, but he went through the three houses of goods and found that only Minglan could confront the Xiaoqin clan of the Gu family, and Gu Tingye was anxious to lack an ally to protect the rear for him after returning to Beijing, so he did not hesitate to go around a big circle to marry Minglan into the door. What surprised Gu Tingye was that Minglan not only killed Xiao Qin's family, but also made the entire Gu family dare not act rashly, directly exceeding Gu Tingye's expectations for his ideal wife.
It is worth mentioning that before Gu Tingye married Minglan in the original work, he only saw Minglan four times in total, neither throwing water in a pot nor putting water in a polo, he purely looked at Minglan's ability to marry the other party. And Minglan also knows what Gu Tingye wants, until he dies, he didn't give his heart out, and when Gu Tingye was his owner all his life, love or anything didn't exist at all.
