There is one less official among the six ministers.

This morning, the emperor appointed Xue to be the last emperor.

This is normal, but the emperor also said that envoys from the north arrived in Dashun today.

Call for Guo Song and Xue Mo to receive them.

After the exchange, Guo Song broke into a cold sweat.

The northern envoy came to visit this time. He changed his past domineering and arrogant attitude and adopted a respectful attitude. The purpose was to ask for a wife from Dashun who was both beautiful and intelligent.

It was only because the King of the North's favorite concubine died in childbirth that the King of the North was depressed. In order to get out of the pain, he opened his mouth.

The condition is that the northern border has friendly relations with Dashun and will not set foot on Dashun territory for twenty years. Always keep the people on the border safe.

No one knows what the King of the North is.

That is an old prostitute with countless concubines in the harem, but he still wants to marry a young and smart woman. Considering his age, it is not a wife. It is better to just find a granddaughter.

Guo Song returned to his house with a sad look on his face.

Looking at his daughter who is as beautiful as a flower, my heart aches.

"It was Daddy who harmed you! If Daddy hadn't thought of letting you marry the prince, you wouldn't be in this situation today."

She looked seventeen, and she only had the reputation of being the most talented woman in the capital, but now, this reputation seemed to have become a double-edged sword.

Although Guo Manmei is outstanding in talent and learning, she is not a arrogant person.

It is good for the prince to treat others with humility and kindness, but people look down on her, and she is not willing to ask for extravagant things.

Guo Song was very angry and didn't want his daughter to marry a commoner and spend the rest of her life... As a result, her daughter was wandering around and she was no longer young in the blink of an eye.

"Did the emperor give a decree?" Ye asked, his face turning pale.

Guo Song shook his head, "I looked at me several times during the morning court. How dare I ask, if I didn't have this intention, it was the Ministry of Rites' responsibility to receive the envoys, why did you ask me to come with you?"

Ye's eyes immediately turned red, "What should we do? What if the emperor really plans to send our Mei'er to the north... I heard that the king of the north is almost sixty, extravagant and licentious, and has an unstable temperament... …”

Guo Song beat his chest in annoyance, "Who would have thought that the Northern Territory would suddenly make such a request! Blame me. When the emperor mentioned the marriage to Donglang, I should have agreed first and sent it to Donglang. The husband-in-law should at least be a prince. We are of the same age, so we will not have wronged our daughter. But these days, I heard that the prince went to Jiangnan incognito, and the emperor did not mention the marriage between the prince and Dongli. He actually no longer mentioned the selection of girls from among the courtiers. It’s about Dongli!”

"Father, don't say anything. If I don't meet a man who shares my mind, my daughter will never marry in this life!" Guo Manmei felt bitter in her heart.

As the daughter of a minister, sometimes she has no autonomy in marriage!

She has read a lot of poetry and books, and really doesn't want to be trapped in this four-dimensional world. If she has the chance, she would also like to see the outside world.

To see with your own eyes the beauty in those poems.

Guo Song was shocked, "Don't marry? Once the imperial edict is issued, it will be no longer up to us!"

Guo Song knew what was obvious.

When Bao Buqi's envoys from the north leave, the marriage decree will be issued.

The crazy gangsters in the north are so ambitious that they can calm down the storm with just one woman. Guo Song thinks that the emperor will not refuse.

The royal family has no daughters, but now all the ministers in the court have daughters, and the most eye-catching one is his daughter Guo Song.

Not to mention Guo Song himself, even in the morning court, all the ministers looked at him with false envy!

In fact, it’s all about schadenfreude!

I am afraid that this kind of thing will happen to my daughter.

"Girl! Why don't you run away!" Mrs. Ye looked at Guo Song with tears in her eyes, "Master, Mei'er has been studying for so many years. As a mother, I know her temperament best. If she is allowed to marry There is no way she can live with such an ancient old man! That would be the same as pushing her into a pit of fire! Wuwuwu..."

As he spoke, Ye started to sob.

"Run?" Guo Song trembled, "Where are you running? She is a daughter, how can she run away?"

"But I'm worried that if I don't run away now, if the emperor's decree comes, then all the reasons will be excuses!"

Guo Song frowned and was in a dilemma.

Guo Manmei's dim eyes flashed with a longing for freedom, "I want to give it a try! Doesn't my aunt have a silk and satin shop in Dongyang country? I want to join her!"

"Going to Donglang? It's a thousand miles away, I'm worried!"

"Oh, sir! I think what Mei'er said is feasible! She can dress up as a man and bring a few guards with her! It's better than waiting to be married in Dashun!" Mrs. Ye, for the first time, stopped being indecisive and categorically agreed with her daughter. plan!

Guo Song was silent for a long time, then slapped his thigh!

"Okay, just give it a try! Daddy will find some reliable people for you. You bring Xiangcui with you, and I will find a way to cover up the matter here!"

Guo Manmei looked at her parents gratefully and bowed deeply to her elders.

From now on, Guo Song is listless every day. When he meets people, he tells everyone that his daughter has a strange disease because he was frightened by seeing dead people that day.

I heard that Dongli had a folk remedy, so I sent someone to look for it!

Mo Yuan also heard the news and talked to Han Xiyuan.

"Are you talking about Guo Manmei?" Han Xiyuan was a little surprised.

Mo Yuan nodded, "I saw Yu Ruoyan's body in Chen He's house some time ago, and I was so frightened! I haven't written to Ah Cheng to explain Yu Ruoyan's matter! I don't know that boy He Lianrongruo Can you explain it clearly! I have been thinking about how to write this letter..."

Han Xiyuan's focus was not on Ruoyan, Ximing told them the whole story!

That Yu Ruoyan deserves to die!

She was a little worried about the legitimate daughter of the Guo family, "Oh, that's really... I really like that child Manmei, the mistress and mistress are already young! I mentioned marriage to them several times, those two bastards , sneak away faster than a mouse!"

"Why didn't you ask what the symptoms were? You didn't actively care about them!"

Han Xiyuan was a little angry.

Mo Yuan was stunned, "The minister's daughter, why should I care so blindly? I asked, but she was hesitant. Maybe it's not convenient to mention my daughter's family problems!"

"How about I go and ask?" Han Xiyuan thought for a moment and said.

"It's okay if you ask. It's more appropriate for you to ask than for me!" Mo Yuan nodded.

"Row."

Han Xiyuan turned around and ordered, "Inform me of the palace's decree and invite Guo Song's wife to come to the palace for tea!"

"Yes!" The eunuch bowed with a smile and took the order to do it.
