Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

The Xu family has arrived.

Gu Zhen was so nervous that her hands were shaking.

If this marriage doesn't work out, she'll really be an old girl.

Gu Jiu squeezed Gu Zhen's hand, Big sister, take a deep breath and relax. Think about how Mammy taught, don't worry.

Gu Zhen nodded.

Back in the capital, she re-learned the rules with her mammy, learned housekeeping from her aunt, Mrs. Zhang, and learned needlework from her aunt.

Gu Zhen herself felt that compared with the time in the Northwest, she had made great progress.

In addition to her identity as a concubine, she considers herself no worse than her sisters in other respects.

At the second gate, meet the Xu family.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, was cheerful. The two sisters met and were extraordinarily affectionate.

After the greeting, everyone went to the flower hall.

Mrs. Xu swept across the crowd, and her eyes caught Gu Zhen accurately.

Gu Zhen instantly straightened her back and was very nervous.

At the flower hall, the guests and the host sit down.

After a few greetings, the eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, called the girls in the house to her and introduced Mrs. Xu to her. Focus on Gu Zhen.

Girl Zhen is the eldest girl in the family. Rules and needlework are all first-class. She has been studying housekeeping with me since last year, and she also goes to Hou's mansion to read and write with Mrs.

Oh, are you still going to the Hou residence to study?

Mrs. Xu was interested.

Gu Zhen bowed slightly and said, Report to Aunt Xu, every afternoon, I will go to Hou's Mansion with my sisters to read and write with Mr. Luo.

How did you learn?

Gu Zhen was a little embarrassed, I have a poor foundation, and I am stupid. I have only finished two books until now.

When Mrs. Xu heard it, she was very satisfied. The daughter-in-law she is looking for does not need to be very good at reading, as long as she can read and settle accounts and understand the truth.

Like Gu Zhen, who did not dig into books wholeheartedly, nor did she commit the fault of a scholar, she was more suitable to be a daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Xu has contacted several girls from the civil service family.

Dedicated to reading, the mind is reading stupid. For such a girl, she is grateful and insensitive.

Mrs. Xu took Gu Zhen's hand and said, She knows how to needle and thread, she knows how to settle accounts, and she can read books. She really is a good girl. It's a pity to match our Saburo.

Gu Zhen blushed instantly, and then her heart became nervous again.

What did she mean by Mrs. Xu's words? Is it satisfied with her or not satisfied with her.

Mrs. Xu came over today with a greeting gift. She glanced at the maid, who hurriedly presented the greeting gift, a pair of jasper bracelets.

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: I like this child when I look at it. This is my little intention, but I can't dislike it.

When Gu Zhen saw a pair of jasper bracelets, her heart thumped wildly.

How can I ask for such a precious gift.

Take it. The elders can't help but give it, understand? Mrs. Xu insisted on giving it away.

Gu Zhen looked at Mrs. Zhang, the eldest wife.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, laughed, Girl Jane, Aunt Xu really likes you, so you can accept this gift.

After Gu Zhen heard the words, she accepted the gift, Thank you Aunt Xu.

You're welcome.

Then I talked to Xie Shi again, Second wife is very lucky, several daughters, all of whom are like flowers and jade. They are sensible, polite, housekeepers, and literate.

Mrs. Xie was proud, Mrs. Xu is wrong. For a family like us, no matter if you are a concubine or a direct descendant, they all teach the same thing. Girl Zhen's character and needlework rules are excellent, and her writing is also very neat.

Mrs. Xu nodded secretly, but was not in a hurry to make a decision. Will look again.

The elders chatted in the flower hall, and the girls took the girls of the Xu family to the wing room for tea and snacks.

Miss Xu Er also came with a mission today. She had to take care of her mother and pay attention to observe Gu Zhen's character in private.

Gu Jiu led everyone and deliberately created a good atmosphere for Gu Zhen, so that Gu Zhen could show her strengths as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yue always kept a straight face and looked unhappy.

Gu Yue didn't say anything, but just keeping her face straight made Er Xu's heart skip a beat, and she was inevitably nervous.

Sister Gu is not happy?

Gu Yue shook her head slightly, You misunderstood. It's because I didn't do it myself, I'm sulking, you don't need to pay attention to me.

This?

Miss Xu looked at Gu Jiu and the others.

Gu Zhen twisted her handkerchief and glared at Gu Yue angrily.

What do you mean, do you want to ruin her marriage again?

Gu Jiu secretly stopped Gu Zhen, not allowing Gu Zhen to be rude in front of the guests.

Gu Jiu stood up, Third sister, if you're not feeling well, why don't you go back to your room and rest.

Gu Yue stood up abruptly, Okay! I just want to go back to my room to rest. You guys talk, I'll say goodbye first.

After speaking, Gu Yue left the wing.

Gu Zhen secretly guessed in her heart, would Gu Yue repeat the same trick and use it on Saburo of the Xu family?

She was not at ease, so she asked the maid Luyi to find Aunt Hu, and asked Aunt Hu to send someone to stare at Gu Yue.

The green collar went away.

After Gu Yue left, with the efforts of Gu Jiu and Gu Shan, the atmosphere in the wing became lively again.

Everyone drank tea and ate snacks, talked about boudoir interesting stories, and talked about poetry and songs. It was also extremely happy.

At noon, the maid came to inform that the banquet was ready, please move to the small flower hall.

When they arrived at the small flower hall, Gu Yue was not there.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, whispered to Mrs. Xie, Brother and sister, what's the matter with the third girl?

Xie was embarrassed for a second, and then said casually: She is not feeling well, so she went back to her room to rest. I have already ordered someone to call her and come over soon. Don't wait for her specially.

OK then.

In the Zizhu courtyard, the maid Grape entered the bedroom, Miss, my wife has sent someone to call you and tell you to go to the small flower hall for a feast.

Don't go, don't go.

Gu Yue covered herself in the quilt, hating and anger in her heart.

She would never go to any banquet. Willing to starve to death.

Grape stomped his feet anxiously, Girl, what's the matter with you? Since yesterday, something has been wrong with you. Is there anything you can't tell your servant?

Shut up for me, you're making a lot of noise.

Gu Yue angrily rebuked Grape, If you answer for me, just say that I'm not feeling well, I have no appetite, and I won't eat the feast.

Grape asked again and again: The girl really doesn't want to go to the banquet?

Gu Yue sat up from the bed, Do you think I'm joking? Why don't you hurry up!

Grape couldn't, stomped his feet, and quickly ran out to answer.

Gu Yue sat on the head of the bed, gritted her teeth, as if a fire was burning in her heart, causing her heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney to be in pain.

Without Gu Yue at the banquet, the atmosphere was better.

If Gu Yue was here, she only had to keep a straight face and it would be enough to silence the whole table. Total ten atmosphere spoilers.

A feast, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves.

After the banquet and a short rest, Mrs. Xu said her goodbyes.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, kept her again and again. The two were sisters and spoke very casually.

Is your sister dissatisfied with girl Zhen?

Mrs. Xu shook her head, Sister misunderstood, I am extremely satisfied with girl Zhen.

Then why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you go back home after dinner?

Mrs. Xu waved her hands again and again, That won't work. The old lady at home was still waiting for me to go back to answer, I agreed, and I'll go back after lunch. My sister understands my difficulties, and I promise to change your family's grandfather's wedding tomorrow to hold a wedding ceremony. Heaven is reserved for the mansion.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, saw that Mrs. Xu insisted on leaving, so she could not force her to stay.

My sister is going to rush back to the house, and I won't leave you. But you give me a definite word. What do you mean about the marriage between girl Zhen and Saburo of your family?

Mrs. Xu thought for a while, and said, To be honest with my sister, girl Zhen is a good-looking person. It's a pity that she matches my Saburo. As you know, my Saburo, I haven't read a few books, and only know how to dance the knife all day. It's very vulgar to get a gun. I'm afraid that girl Jane will be wronged.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, laughed, My little sister is really good at joking. The Xu family is a family of military generals. Your Saburo doesn't wield knives and guns. Do you want to read a book every day?

Mrs. Xu thought about it and asked, Does your second wife dislike my Saburo?

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, said in a low voice: As you know, the second wife is a concubine to help the righteous. She doesn't care about the marriage of the concubine. The key is the second master's opinion.

Mrs. Xu asked, I wonder if the second master of the house has a crush on my Saburo?

I'll ask someone to tell you later on this matter. I don't know right now. I won't know until I see my master.

Mr. Zhang didn't hide it either, he didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Xu nodded, If the second master of the house has no opinion, I agree with this marriage.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, suddenly laughed, It's good to have a relationship. Our two families are in-laws, and we can come and go often.

Mrs. Xu nodded happily, got up and left.

After seeing off the Xu family, Gu Zhen looked at the eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang.

Zhang said to her, Don't worry, there will be news in a day or two.

Gu Zhen nodded, Thank you auntie. I'll make a set of shoes and socks for auntie tomorrow. Don't dislike it.

Good boy, I won't dislike what you did.

Gu Zhen didn't ask any further questions, she turned around and went back to her room, unable to avoid thinking wildly.

In the evening, Mrs. Zhang, the eldest wife, saw Master Gu.

Master Gu said directly: Although Xu Jia Saburo is not well-educated, fortunately, his character is good, and taking the road of military commanders is also a way out.

Zhang Shi asked him, Does the second brother agree to this marriage?

Master Gu nodded succinctly, Please tell my sister-in-law to the Xu family and pick an auspicious day to come to propose marriage.

Zhang Shi burst out laughing, That's great. This marriage is finally over. I didn't work hard for nothing.

Master Gu bowed and bowed, Sister-in-law hard.

Second brother, you're welcome.

Mr. Zhang thought to himself that Mr. Gu had good manners. But when she was young, she was greedy and lustful, so she even straightened Xie's concubine. Hope this will not affect his official career.

Three days later, the zodiac auspicious day.

The Xu family invited a matchmaker to go to the Gu residence to propose marriage.

For this reason, Master Gu deliberately took a half-day leave and waited for the matchmaker to come to the house.

When the two families exchanged geng posts and wrote the marriage certificate, the marriage was settled.

The matchmaker also said: The Xu family wants to get married as soon as possible, and they want to set the wedding date in July. How about Master Gu?

Master Gu frowned, July this year? Would you be in a hurry? Calculate the time, there are only more than two months left to prepare, which is too hasty.

The matchmaker hurriedly said, Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. On the Xu family's side, the items have been prepared long ago. If the dowry of the eldest girl in your house is also prepared, it is not in a hurry to get married in July.

Master Gu coughed lightly. He was embarrassed to say that Gu Zhen's dowry didn't even have a shadow, and it all had to be prepared temporarily.

It was inevitable that he would resent Xie Shi in his heart.

As the head mistress of the second room, Mrs Xie is really incompetent.

Gu Zhen is a lot of age, and her dowry has no trace, so it would be shameful to say it.

Master Gu said to the matchmaker: The wedding date is something that the official should consider. Please also tell the Xu family that it is best not to be so hasty, it doesn't matter if it is delayed for a few months.

The matchmaker hurriedly explained: Master Gu doesn't know anything. Saburo of the Xu family, after this year, he will go to the north to change his defense. Let's say two years less. If you don't get married as soon as possible, you will be wronged by the eldest girl in your house.

Master Gu was stunned, Is there any other matter?

The matchmaker nodded, Exactly.

Master Gu also understood why the Xu family was so anxious to get married.

After the couples get married, pregnancy always takes a little time.

We got married in July and left Beijing after the year, so we have half a year. If everything goes well, you should be able to conceive a child within six months.

In this way, even though Xu Saburo will be away from Beijing for two years, Gu Zhen will not feel wronged. After all, having the child by his side will give him confidence.

If the wedding date is postponed and Gu Zhen is not pregnant yet, Xu Saburo will rush out of Beijing, then Gu Zhen's situation in Xu's family will be a little embarrassing.

Master Gu nodded, This official knows about this matter, and the wedding date is set for July.

The matchmaker was overjoyed, Thank you for your understanding, Master Gu. I'll go to see Master Xu, Mrs. Xu, and set a date for the ceremony as soon as possible.

After sending off the matchmaker, Master Gu came to Furong Court to meet Xie Shi.

At this time, the news of Gu Zhen's marriage was already spread all over the house, as if it had grown wings.

Gu Zhen blushed and went to see Aunt Hu.

Auntie, I'm so happy. My marriage is finally settled.

Aunt Hu also laughed and stroked Gu Zhen's cheek, I've wronged you.

Gu Zhen shook her head, My daughter is not wronged. Although the Xu family can't compare to the Xibo Mansion in Shanghai, her daughter is very confident in the face of Xu Saburo and is not afraid of him.

Aunt Hu smiled and said, So, this marriage is better than Haixi Bo's house.

Gu Zhen nodded again and again, My daughter is very grateful to auntie. I made a set of shoes and socks for auntie. After a few days, I will send it to auntie.

As it should be.

Gu Zhen bit her lip, as if she had something to hide.

Aunt Hu smiled and said, There is nothing to say in front of Auntie.

Gu Zhen was a little nervous, Auntie, my dowry, how much dowry my wife will prepare for me.

Aunt Hu thought for a while, I'm going to see my wife. Don't worry, the dowry will definitely be indispensable.

Gu Zhen nodded again and again, Thank you auntie.

Thank you, silly boy.

In the Furong Courtyard, when Master Gu saw the Xie Shi, his face was stern and unhappy.

Girl Zhen's dowry is being prepared quickly, and the wedding date is set for July.

July? Why are you in such a hurry? Where's the time? The master didn't tell the matchmaker?

Master Gu stared at Xie Shi dissatisfiedly, If you had prepared a dowry for Girl Zhen early, why would it be too late?

Xie's grievance, After returning to the capital, one thing after another, I have to prepare a dowry for Yue'er. Where is the concubine free to prepare a dowry for Jane.

Master Gu snorted coldly, very dissatisfied, If you have the heart, don't worry about how busy you are, girl Zhen's dowry should also be prepared. Why is there not even a shadow until now.

Xie opened her mouth, Is the master blaming the concubine?

Master Gu said with a stern face: This official is reminding you to be more careful in the future.

Xie was annoyed, It's clearly the Xu family's hardship, why do you have to get married in July? Can't you get married at the end of the year?

Master Gu said, Because it's New Year's Eve, Xu Saburo will go to the north to switch defenses. Let's talk about two years less. If we don't get married sooner, do we want to let girl Zhen marry and live as a widow?

Xie Shi was stunned, Change defense? Isn't that very dangerous. How can you agree to such a marriage. Master, quickly push this marriage.

Bullshit.

Master Gu was very unhappy, Do you want girl Zhen to be an old girl after pushing this marriage? Do you really forget what the third girl did? I remember it clearly.

Xie's face turned pale and her eyes were guilty, The concubine is confused. The master is right, this marriage cannot be cancelled. Two months is a little short, hurry up, it is not impossible to prepare a decent dowry. Don't. You can buy ready-made items, but the furniture is more troublesome. But the concubine thought of a way to repaint the furniture in Girl Zhen's room and bring her to the Xu family as a dowry.

Master Gu frowned, there was an evil fire in his heart, which gradually became stronger.

Are you going to fool like this?

It's not because of the lack of time, and there's no way out. Don't worry, sir, the furniture in girl Zhen's room is made of high-quality wood and painted, so it will never lose face of our Gu Fu.

Master Gu sneered, It's really rare, you also know that your face is important.

Xie was stunned. The master is angry, why is this?
