The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

After the greetings, Gu Jinchu naturally had to leave.

Jiang Nansheng was also entertained by the men of the Zheng family and accepted their tests.

A resting place in the peony garden.

Zheng Kaiji waved a fan in his hand, smiled at his future brother-in-law Jiang Wuye and said, "...I didn't have time to thank you for the last time. And my third brother Kaicheng, thank you for your care...Mr. Jiang."

At the end, the two of them, including the third brother beside them, bowed to Jiang Nansheng.

After Zheng Kaicheng visited Lord Yang with Jiang Nansheng's visiting card, he not only won his appreciation, but also participated in a new re-examination with a group of students. He will soon enter the palace for the palace examination.

His grandfather asked him to act like his elder brother-in-law, and he wanted to!

He couldn't do this kind of favor for three consecutive days!

Besides, Jiang Nansheng is older than his seven brothers, including Gu Wen, his future brother-in-law.

Jiang Nansheng smiled and returned the greeting, "The Dali Temple is the place where cases are solved. It just happened to be my duty that day."

"The teacher said Kaicheng and Kaiyu are quick-witted and knowledgeable. Especially Kaicheng, who has the knowledge and experience of traveling all these years. His Majesty appreciates such talented people the most."

After hearing his words, the men in the Zheng family showed joy on their faces.

The teacher Jiang Nansheng mentioned was Grand Secretary Yang, who learned from his grandfather, the Dean Chang.

He is also a close minister of the emperor and knows the emperor's preferences very well.

Seeing the situation, Mr. Zheng felt defeated.

Although several older grandchildren are going to take the imperial examinations, the men in the Zheng family have all walked their way step by step.

No matter what, as a grandfather, he had to come up with the money.

He saw his two sons and several grandchildren, all chatting about academic matters with Jiang Nansheng.

I heard that he became the top scholar at the age of 18, and with a grandfather like that, how could he be uneducated?

However, having high level of knowledge does not mean that one has good character. One still has to pass his test.

Mr. Zheng, who was sitting at the head of the table, cleared his throat and said, "I don't know how much Mr. Jiang drinks. Why don't you drink a couple of cups with me at lunch, along with your uncles!"

The men in the Zheng family looked at their father and grandfather at the same time and drank two cups...

Zheng Kaiji winked at his grandfather. Others in the family didn't know, but he knew that Jiang Nansheng could drink a lot!

Jiang Nansheng looked up at the old man, smiled and said, "We have a collection of old wine at home, which can not only relax the muscles and promote blood circulation but also has no harm to the body. Bring it over someday so that I can drink a couple of glasses with Grandfather."

Then he continued, "I'll have to trouble my uncles to accompany me today."

Mr. Zheng is in poor health, and drinking alcohol is a taboo for him.

How dare he drink with the old man?

Gu Jinchu had no idea what had happened at the banquet. She returned to Sui'an Hall and put the two gold enamel boxes together.

This was also the box that Madam Jiang gave her in her previous life.

Three days after the imperial decree of marriage was issued, the Jiang family came to the Gu family with betrothal gifts to discuss the date for the wedding.

Many things have changed to varying degrees, but her marriage to Jiang Nansheng has not changed...

The memories about them became clear, as if telling her what they...had missed.

At this time, Bai Zhi came in and whispered beside her, "Miss, the eldest cousin is here, and Master Jiang Wu is with him."

Gu Jinchu came back to his senses from his memories. Why did he come to the inner courtyard?

By the waterside pavilion outside Sui'an Hall, Zheng Kaiji glanced at Jiang Nansheng beside him, and could still recall the scene when he had just asked for instructions from his aunt.

"Madam, I have something to say to Sister Chu, I wonder if Brother Kaiji can help lead the way."

At that time, Madam Jiang had a look of surprise on her face. She probably didn't expect that her youngest son, who made her so proud, was such a shameless person.

It's not enough to meet once, we need to meet again.

Jiang Nansheng ignored the teasing looks around him and saw Gu Jinchu coming out of Sui'an Hall with his maid and walking in this direction.

He tilted his head and whispered to Zheng Kaiji beside him, "Chu Jie'er is here."

Zheng Kaiji raised his eyebrows. This was a blatant way of driving people away. Okay, okay, okay!

The folding fan in his hand tapped against his palm, reminding him, "Long story short!"

Gu Jinchu walked over and saw his mother's maid standing in the corridor not far away.

The eldest cousin Zheng Kaiji also avoided this place, lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice: "You... do mother and others know about this?"

Jiang Nansheng smiled and hummed, explaining, "I have consulted with my wife, and I came here only after she and the old lady agreed."

Gu Jinchu raised his head when he heard this. It was rare for Master Jiang Wu to behave so shamelessly.

Since her mother agreed, she felt relieved and pointed to the stone pier under the shade of the trees by the lake.

She has realized that there was something wrong with the way the two of them got along in their previous life.

When you encounter problems, you need to talk them out and make them clear.

After he sat down, he asked, "You have seen my father, right?"

Jiang Nansheng's smile deepened, and he said without hiding anything: "Yes, I told him that I didn't want your wedding to be affected by mourning."

Gu Jinchu looked at him in astonishment. Although she knew her father's despicable nature, she did not expect Jiang Nansheng to be so outspoken.

Seeing this, Jiang Nansheng's smile faded, and he sighed and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

afraid?

He won't hurt her...why should she be afraid.

Gu Jinchu shook his head without hesitation, "Of course not."

His voice became a little lower, and he just felt a little embarrassed in his heart for having such a father, but he no longer felt sad.

He whispered, "My mother and I didn't know what my father had done."

She wasn't even given a chance to react. If she hadn't received the imperial decree granting her marriage...

Her parents ordered her to marry him, the matchmaker said so. Her father secretly gave her to the second prince as a concubine. What would she do?

Jiang Nansheng did not continue the topic. He clenched his left hand into a fist and placed it on the stone table. He turned sideways and looked up at her and said, "I'm here to ask you to fulfill your promise."
