Reborn to be replaced, remarried to the royal palace to raise children and train husband
Chapter 224 Looking for a job
In the past, there was nothing wrong with the maids who came with the dowry not changing their words, but now that the young lady and the prince have truly become husband and wife, it is not appropriate to call them young lady anymore.
Gu Qinlan pondered for a while, then said, "Then let's change it."
After all, we have arrived in the capital and can no longer be as casual as we were in the capital.
Therefore, Fu Yu smiled and replied, "Yes, ma'am."
By the time Gu Qinlan finished cleaning up and eating, it was almost noon.
In the early morning, Zheng Dinglian sent an envoy back to the mansion to tell Gu Qinlan that she needed to make some preparations because he planned to take her to meet the respected Mr. Gu.
Today is New Year's Eve. According to traditional customs, it is not appropriate to receive guests. However, Mr. Gu is her biological grandfather, and he has just taken refuge here from the chaos in Jindu City, so it is inconvenient for her to be absent.
Gu Qinlan changed into a set of clothes suitable for going out and walked lightly towards the study to look for Zheng Dinglian.
In the study, Zheng Dinglian heard her footsteps and hurriedly stood up to greet her.
The two met at the porch, and Zheng Dinglian looked at her with a sharp gaze: "Are you healthy?"
Last night he was so passionate that he lost control and caused her trouble.
Gu Qinlan's pretty face flushed with embarrassment, and she was too embarrassed to look up and look him in the eye.
Zheng Dinglian noticed her shyness, and a hint of depth flashed across his eyes, but then he thought of the important things he had to do, so he hurriedly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
He took out a bottle of medicinal herbs from his bosom: "This bottle contains good medicine for nourishing your body. Remember to take one pill every day."
Gu Qinlan took the medicine bottle with a blush on her cheeks.
Zheng Dinglian gently held her hand and said, "Let's go."
The two walked hand in hand through the courtyard, letting the maids and servants follow them. The clever maids had already seen through that the two had secretly tied the knot, and they gathered around them, spouting auspicious words like pearls.
"May the prince and his wife have a deep love for each other, grow old together, and have a son soon."
"May the prince and his wife be blessed with a dragon and a phoenix, twins, and a son within three years."
"May the prince and his wife..."
Laughter and joy rang out one after another.
Zheng Dinglian was extremely happy and waved his hand: "There will be huge rewards. Everyone in the mansion will receive an extra salary this month."
The servants cheered loudly, and their auspicious words were like flowers in spring, vying for beauty.
Gu Qinlan was so shy that she almost felt ashamed.
She never thought that what happened last night had spread throughout the mansion.
Although this was not a big deal, she still felt extremely embarrassed to be blessed so directly by everyone.
Fortunately, Zheng Dinglian did not let her continue to be embarrassed and quickly dismissed everyone.
When they got on the carriage, Zheng Dinglian was still smiling and holding Gu Qinlan's hand tightly without letting go.
Gu Qinlan tried to pull her hand back, but Zheng Dinglian held it tightly.
Zheng Dinglian relaxed his body and mind, pulled her into his arms, and gently stroked her forehead with his chin.
"Qinlan, let's consider having a child."
Gu Qinlan was not used to being overly close to others, but in front of him, she could easily let down her guard.
"Prince...I want to wait another two years..."
She wasn't ready to be a mother yet.
She was worried that Zheng Dinglian would be unhappy about this. After all, he was not young anymore and children of people his age were already independent.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Dinglian only hesitated for a moment before agreeing: "Okay. I heard that premature childbirth is extremely harmful to a woman's body and mind, so let's wait until you are twenty years old before discussing it."
A warm current surged in Gu Qinlan's heart: "Isn't the prince anxious?"
Zheng Dinglian smiled and said, "Why rush? We have a lifetime."
lifetime.
Gu Qinlan's heart skipped a beat, her nose slightly sour, and she nodded solemnly: "Yes, we still have a lifetime together."
Zheng Dinglian couldn't hold back anymore, he hugged her tightly in his arms and kissed her deeply.
Gu Qinlan also responded to him enthusiastically.
After a long while, the two reluctantly parted.
They hugged each other tightly, slowly calming their pounding hearts.
When the carriage arrived at the Gu family's mansion in the capital, their cheeks were still slightly flushed.
As the cold wind blew, the blush on her face gradually dissipated.
However, the two people's expressions after getting off the car were very different from when they got on the car. Any witness could sense the affection and warmth flowing in each other's eyes.
Fu Yu and Wan Ying's eyes met, both filled with smiles.
In a corner of the capital, the Gu family residence was not luxurious, it was just an ordinary courtyard with three entrances.
After all, the Gu family's business center is located in Jindu, and the capital is an insurmountable threshold for them. It is not easy to buy a prominent mansion here.
The servant in front of the Gu family's door was extremely alert. When he saw Zheng Dinglian coming, he hurriedly welcomed him into the mansion and sent someone to inform the old master of the Gu family.
The couple walked into the courtyard hand in hand, and before they had taken a few steps, they saw Song coming towards them.
When Song saw Gu Qinlan, her expression suddenly became complicated. However, considering her family's current situation, she had to put on a smile: "My son, I finally see you. These days, I have been extremely worried about your safety. Are your mother-in-law and the others all right?"
Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said calmly, "Please worry about your mother-in-law and the others."
Song touched her chest and said thankfully: "That's good, that's good, Amitabha, God's blessing..."
Gu Qinlan was impatient with these empty words and interrupted her directly: "How is grandpa?"
Song was slightly displeased, but she had to suppress her emotions: "Your grandfather is ill. He was already deeply frightened when he was in Jindu, and he barely managed to hold on until now. After arriving in the capital last night, he could no longer hold on and collapsed. You should go and see him."
As she spoke, she led the way in front, heading towards Mr. Gu's residence.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of Mr. Gu's courtyard, I unexpectedly met Gu Qinlian and Ji Yinli who were walking out.
This sudden encounter surprised both sides.
Gu Qinlian stared at Zheng Dinglian as if she had seen a ghost: "You are Zheng Dinglian? You are actually okay?"
How is this going?
Why was Zheng Dinglian able to return unscathed?
In his previous life, Zheng Dinglian returned home with a bloody face and serious injuries.
As far as she could remember, Gu Qinlian had never even seen Zheng Dinglian's true face.
In her previous life, after she and Zheng Dinglian got married, she was sent to the bridal chamber to wait. Soon, she heard the imperial edict coming, ordering Zheng Dinglian to go to the battlefield immediately.
At that time, she was so anxious that she fainted and didn't even get a chance to see Zheng Dinglian's true face. When they met again, Zheng Dinglian had become like a ghost.
She stared at Zheng Dinglian's face closely, her heart filled with deep regret.
Although Zheng Dinglian's appearance cannot be considered as a peerless beauty, it is still quite outstanding.
Especially next to the thin and pale Ji Yinli, Zheng Dinglian looks even more heroic.
Looking at Gu Qinlan again, her eyes and brows revealed the tenderness of spring, making her already outstanding appearance even more dazzling.
The two people's tightly clasped hands not only hurt Gu Qinlian's eyes, but also deeply hurt Ji Yinli's heart.
"Let go of your hands!"
Ji Yinli suddenly roared, staring at Gu Qinlan with eyes that seemed to devour everything.
Zheng Dinglian's eyes turned cold, and his aura suddenly changed, and a murderous aura rushed straight towards Ji Yinli's face.
Ji Yinli was so frightened by the murderous aura that his legs went limp and he fell to his knees.
Zheng Dinglian snorted contemptuously: "Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to dictate matters between us?"
Ji Yinli’s face turned pale: “Zheng…Zheng Shizi, I…I was wrong…”
Zheng Dinglian glanced at him coldly, then turned to support Gu Qinlan and walked straight into the inner room.
Ji Yinli waited until they disappeared from his sight before he dared to take a deep breath and tried to stand up, but he found that his legs were shaking. He had no choice but to ask Gu Qinlian for help: "Come and help me up!"
He had never been so embarrassed, especially in front of Gu Qinlan.
This filled his heart with endless depression.
Gu Qinlian glanced coldly at Ji Yinli's decadent and powerless appearance. She felt strongly disgusted and deeply regretful for her decision back then.
In this life, everything seems to have changed beyond all recognition. In my memory, Zheng Dinglian was handsome and heroic, and he was able to protect his wife so firmly. In contrast, Ji Yinli seemed so wretched and incompetent, and he even lost the most basic ability to protect his beloved.
She had always thought that although Ji Yinli was plain-looking, he was not as scary as Zheng Dinglian, and his high position and power in his previous life gave him a dazzling halo, which made her unable to resist him. However, in this life, Ji Yinli's temperament was disgusting, and his weakness and incompetence were fully revealed. He didn't even have the courage to protect his woman.
She and Ji Yinli had arrived in the capital several months ago.
At the beginning, when the refugees poured into Prince Duan's mansion, she and Ji Yinli hurriedly fled the capital of Jin and headed for the capital. Along the way, they encountered many refugees heading to the capital of Jin and were besieged by them. However, in order to save his own life, Ji Yinli pushed her out of the encirclement.
Fortunately, a passing caravan appeared in time, dispersed the refugees and rescued her from the dire straits, otherwise she would not know what kind of suffering she would have suffered.
Whenever she thought of those thrilling past events, Gu Qinlian hated Ji Yinli to the core and wished she could kill him with her own hands.
However, she had to hope that Ji Yinli could become famous and let her regain a happy life. So she had to suppress her inner disgust and help Ji Yinli up from the ground.
Unexpectedly, after Ji Yinli stood firm, he slapped her in the face and angrily said, "Bitch, don't think I don't know what you are thinking! Put away your cunning thoughts. You belong to me, Ji Yinli, now. If you dare to betray me, I will never let you off easily!"
He clearly noticed the burning gaze that Gu Qinlian cast towards Zheng Dinglian!
Gu Qinlian came back to her senses and rushed towards Ji Yinli, screaming. Her nails scratched his face with several bloody marks. "You bastard, I should be the one to remind you of this! Your greedy eyes are almost sticking to other people. Do you think I don't see it?"
Ji Yinli had never expected that Gu Qinlian would dare to attack him. After a moment of hesitation, he grabbed her hand tightly and threatened her viciously: "Don't forget your handle!"
Gu Qinlian instantly calmed down and even smiled ingratiatingly: "Husband, I know I was wrong."
Ji Yinli snorted coldly and let go of her hand: "Just remember this. If you dare to be presumptuous again in the future, don't blame me for not thinking about the love between husband and wife!"
Gu Qinlian nodded her head, but there was an unconcealable resentment in her eyes.
This piece of trash is so disgusting!
At the same time, Gu Qinlan and Zheng Dinglian heard the dispute outside clearly. They looked at each other, and their eyes revealed disdain for the two people.
However, they did not say much, but came to Mr. Gu's bed hand in hand.
Mr. Gu was indeed in poor health, with a pale face and low spirits.
Seeing them come in, Mr. Gu forced himself to cheer up and said to them with a smile: "Qinlan, grandson-in-law, you are here, please take a seat."
The two sat down as instructed. Gu Qinlan casually asked a few questions about Mr. Gu's health, and then remained silent.
Old Master Gu coughed a few times and waved over two teenagers who were about sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Sun Xu, these are your two cousins, their names are Gu Xun and Gu Ren. The Gu family is in a precarious situation right now, and I would like to ask you to help them find a job in the capital."
These days, he has been thinking carefully about how to arrange for the two children.
Now, Zheng Dinglian has made great military achievements and has been promoted to a third-rank official. He is only 24 years old and his future is limitless.
Originally, the Gu family relied on this marriage, and the road ahead seemed to be smooth. However, he knew that Gu Qinlan did not have too many emotional ties to the Gu family. What worried him even more was that if Gu Qinlan knew the secrets of the past, she might use the power of the family to deal with the Gu family.
Therefore, he was eager to find a reliable way of livelihood for the Gu family while he still had strength left.
Of these two grandsons, Gu Xun was from the Song family, while Gu Ren was born to Aunt Yao.
He values his illegitimate son Gu Ren more, but he cannot ignore Gu Xun. After all, it would be great if both of them could achieve something.
Gu Xun and Gu Ren stepped forward together and saluted Zheng Dinglian: "Hello, brother-in-law."
Zheng Dinglian didn't even raise his eyelids, but just casually fiddled with the ring on his hand, "Grandfather's request is not excessive, and it is not a problem for me. How about this, let them report to the Xishan military camp tomorrow. I will select two masters and train them individually. I believe that within two years, they will be able to grow rapidly."
The two young men turned pale instantly. Going to the military camp? Wouldn't that put them in a life-or-death situation?
They quickly turned their attention to Mr. Gu.
Old Master Gu coughed repeatedly, as if he was going to cough out his heart and lungs: "The arrangements made by my grandson-in-law are indeed thorough, but I can see that they have been spoiled since childhood, and how can they bear the hardships of the military camp? Therefore, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if you can find a job for them in some government office in the capital?"
Zheng Dinglian flatly refused: "Grandfather, you overestimate me. I am just a warrior who has just been transferred to the capital. How can I have such connections and means to arrange such a position for them?"
Old Master Gu turned to look at Gu Qinlan: "Qinlan, your adoptive father should have a solution."
Gu Qinlan sneered in her heart. It turned out that everything was waiting for her here.
