Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general
Chapter 224 Overtly and secretly
Gu Jiusi collapsed in the chair. He accepted this marriage and prepared himself mentally.
For example, if they are not satisfied and the two of them quarrel every day, what should he do?
Gu Jiusi had already thought of a solution to this problem. According to the laws of the Wu Kingdom, if a woman had no children for seven years, her husband could divorce her and marry another woman.
At most, he would go to the imperial study and kneel for three days, begging for an external appointment. After seven years, he would be a lively bachelor again!
But what would happen if the Pei family's daughter married into the Gu family with such a hobby?
Thinking of his father's old fists, Gu Jiusi couldn't help but tremble!
"Sister... where did you hear this? Maybe you heard it wrongly?" Gu Jiusi struggled desperately.
He simply couldn't understand why a well-educated and well-mannered lady would have such a strange hobby?
Gu Feiwan thought for a long time before replying, "Perhaps this well-read daughter of the Pei family wants a family that matches her status and talent. All the people in this family must add brilliance to her. Those who are unknown are useless to her."
Gu Jiusi thought about his father and mother.
Gu Heshan is a man of generous character, but in terms of his ability in the Gu family, he is obviously not as good as Gu Hechuan.
My mother, Madam Gu, was a virtuous and capable woman. She managed the Gu family's supplies in an orderly manner and her interpersonal skills were also commendable. However, her family was not a famous family, but a small one.
If this is the case, does Gu Jiusi need to change his parents?
"The Pei family is interested in my second brother. He is the top scholar this year. My second uncle is smart and capable. The Gu family business is booming under his leadership. Although my second aunt's family is not prominent, it is just a matter of marrying another wife. Therefore, the daughter of the Pei family is still satisfied with my second brother!"
Gu Feiwan pointed at Gu Jiusi and said, "You put the marriage on yourself. Even if the daughter of the Pei family is willing to marry you, how can the Gu family live in peace in the future?"
Ning Weizhou stroked his chin and said, "I have never heard of a legitimate daughter of an official in the capital going to the man's house to propose marriage. Is this Miss Pei having some unspeakable things in her boudoir?"
Gu Jiusi was even more stunned. He just wanted to be alone. It didn't matter who he married. As long as his younger brothers and sisters got married happily, he would be fine with anything.
But I didn’t expect that this would also implicate the elders in my family!
"I will have someone rush back to the capital to find out about this matter!" Gu Shian made up his mind.
"The Pei family wants to use my official career as a threat to achieve an in-law relationship between the two families. They are not a kind family. Even if I take off this official uniform, I will not agree. At worst, I can take the exam again next spring!"
Ning Weizhou nodded when he heard this: "Marriage is a good thing between two families. If there is any compulsion, it should not be a good thing. Don't worry, second brother, even if this matter is exposed, I will definitely stand on your side!"
Gu Feiwan glared at the men and said, "Things like this are all done in secret. How can we discuss them publicly? Even if we overthrow the Pei family, we will still have a stain on our reputation."
People's words are terrible; the tongue is soft and can speak east or west.
The listeners only care about having a good time, who would really check the truth behind it?
If someone says that the Gu family abuses their power to bully others and destroy the girl's innocence, more people will follow suit and criticize the Gu family for not having strict family education.
When the young men in the family discuss marriage in the future, people will be afraid that if the rumors are true, they will not dare to marry their daughters.
"My lady, what do you think we should do about this?" Ning Weizhou asked.
They are men, so their natural way is to find out Miss Pei's faults openly and throw them in the face of Pei's family members so that they will not dare to have any more delusional thoughts!
"It's right to send someone back to the capital, but we have to do it quietly, without letting outsiders know. We have to find out everything about Miss Pei from childhood to adulthood. If there's anything wrong, we must get solid evidence!"
"Since Minister Pei wants to use my second brother's career to threaten me, is he really clean? Even if he is clean, we have to throw a basin of dirty water on him! If he dares to plot against our Gu family, we can't let him go!"
"My sister is right. We should prepare for both situations, both overtly and covertly. Once things in Jiangnan are settled, I will also return to Beijing to report on my work. I think by then, we should have a showdown with the Pei family. We must always have some bargaining chips in our hands that will prevent them from making a fuss." Gu Shian said.
"My grandparents are not easy to bully. With the Pei family coming to our house like this this time, they must be angry and may have already taken action!" Gu Feiwan added.
Gu Jiusi propped himself up and said, "So all my worries about not being able to eat or sleep well these days are in vain?"
"Didn't you say that it doesn't matter who you marry? What are you worried about?" Gu Shian choked.
Gu Jiusi looked innocent: "Isn't this also for you?"
"If you have any problems in the future, just come to me and my sister. It will be more effective than figuring it out on your own!" Gu Shian said this and walked out the door.
Gu Jiusi replied in a low voice, "Okay!"
"Xiao Zhou just told me to ask the kitchen to prepare a feast. You don't have to go back to the government office today. Just stay in Liuyuan. I'll toast you three cups of wine!"
The evening breeze blew Gu Shian's words, and before Gu Jiusi could come back to his senses, Gu Feiwan clapped his hands:
"Okay, okay, we haven't had a drink together for a long time. We won't go home until we're drunk tonight!"
"My dear, you should go back to sleep!" Ning Weizhou picked up Gu Feiwan and walked out.
Gu Feiwan was in high spirits, so how could he agree?
She reached out to Gu Jiusi for help: "Brother, please save me, I haven't had a drink for almost a year!"
Just as Gu Jiusi was about to reach out his hand, Doctor Song's voice appeared at the door:
"Boss, you can still drink now. Besides, at this hour, you should have dinner and rest!"
Gu Feiwan put on a pitiful look and said, "Doctor Song, my two brothers are here today. I don't drink alcohol, so I'll just stay with them for a while. Can I drink tea?"
"Master, you can't have tea in the evening!"
"Then I'll drink milk!"
"Master, the milk is already heated up in your room!"
"Doctor Song, please let me stay for a while!"
Gu Jiusi couldn't bear to hear that, so he walked to the door and said, "Doctor Song, let my sister chat with us..."
Before he finished speaking, Doctor Song's voice became even colder:
"no!"
Gu Feiwan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ning Weizhou.
Ning Weizhou shook his head, his eyes were even more confused!
When Ning Weizhou and Gu Feiwan walked away, Doctor Song was still standing at the door.
Gu Jiusi saw that Doctor Song had a cold face and was rubbing his hands. He was a little overwhelmed. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind:
"Doctor Song, are you familiar with the daughter of the Pei family in the capital? I mentioned the name of the daughter of the Pei family today, but I had no choice..."
Before he finished speaking, Doctor Song suddenly bowed and said, "Congratulations, Second Young Master, on finding a good match!"
After saying that, he left quickly without looking back.
Gu Jiusi was completely confused and stood there muttering to himself:
"I haven't finished talking yet, why won't you let me finish talking?"
