marriage contract

After the Lantern Festival, the nine-month period of filial piety expires, and wearing plain clothes for another month is considered to be the official removal of filial piety.

It is impossible for the Chu family to allow Gu Chengzhi to observe the filial piety for 27 months, but Chu Junyi doesn't mind them secretly guarding in the courtyard.

At the end of February, when the one-month period of plain clothes expired, a ceremony was held in Wanfa Temple, and both of them changed into regular clothes.

After removing filial piety, the previous relationship should be picked up again. The first stop Gu Chengzhi will go to is his master, and the civil and military masters will each go for a day.

Then there are his classmates and friends, old acquaintances, friends of Master Gu Er, and so on.

Anyway, by the time this big circle comes down, it's almost mid-March.

In the morning, Gu Chengzhi changed his clothes and went out.

Two days ago, officials from the court and central government began to bombard the crown prince. Speaking of the crown prince Jin Rong, there was really nothing bad to say about it. The emperor liked it, the courtiers were satisfied, and Jin Rong himself worked hard enough to be a very qualified crown prince.

But Jin Rong has a fatal weakness - he has no son.

As the crown prince, not having a son is really a terrible thing. Jin Rong is already 23 this year, and he has been married for six years but has never had a son.

You know, even his cousin Jin Lu who likes men is now the father of two children, not to mention his younger brother is growing up day by day.

But the emperor can be anxious about this matter, but he will not let the officials below him accompany him. He is very satisfied with this son and does not want to shake his position. He is just childless for the time being. Who dares to say that Jin Rong is doomed to have no son in this life. .

After reprimanding the Shangzhe officials, there is no follow-up. After all, the emperor has spoken, and if he continues, he will be abducted to "the prince is destined to have no children". he.

The relationship between Gu Chengzhi and Jin Rong is very good, and he couldn't sit still after hearing this. He has nothing to do with the problem of heirs, and there is no way to come to Jin Rong, but he has to go and see him to be at ease.

At noon and in the evening, Gu Chengzhi sent someone to deliver letters back, saying that Jin Rong had kept him for dinner so that Chu Junyi would not have to wait for him.

When Gu Chengzhi came back, it was already dark.

"Have you been drinking?" Chu Junyi could smell the strong smell of alcohol on him.

Gu Chengzhi nodded, picked up the cup on the table and poured three cups of water in a row.

Chu Junyi twitched the corner of his mouth, and he also saw that Gu Chengzhi drank a little too much, because he didn't even notice that the cup was used by him...

After drinking the water, Gu Chengzhi felt a little more awake, but he leaned on the couch but didn't want to move, he just said: "I'll take a rest, when I came in just now, I asked someone to prepare hangover soup."

"I'll bring it to you later." Chu Junyi said.

After hearing this, Gu Chengzhi closed his eyes.

The hangover soup was delivered very quickly, Chu Junyi took the soup bowl and sent people away.

Gu Chengzhi was only in a light sleep. He was already awake when Chu Junyi walked in, but his head was still a little dizzy. He drank the hangover soup with Chu Junyi's hand, and he leaned back on the couch.

"Why did you drink so much?" Chu Junyi didn't think he was a drinker, he might like to drink, but with his character, he shouldn't let himself get so drunk.

Gu Chengzhi sighed and said, "The prince is in a bad mood, I have had a few drinks with him."

Chu Junyi couldn't help sighing, being accused of not having a son would make a man feel uncomfortable, let alone a prince, he was really the one who needed a son the most.

Moreover, Jin Rong is not incapable of giving birth. The princess concubine has been pregnant twice, but she failed to give birth.

The Great Jin Dynasty paid attention to the birth of the first son, and the first son of the crown prince had better be the son of the crown prince's concubine, not so much the son of Jin Rongque, but the son of Jin Rongque.

For the next two days, Gu Chengzhi didn't go out, the sound of bombarding the prince in the hall had disappeared, and even if there were officials who wanted to mention it, they didn't dare to speak against the emperor's sword-like gaze.

Knowing that Jin Rong was fine for the time being, Gu Chengzhi was relieved.

But when Gu Chengzhi went out again, he brought Chu Junyi with him.

"I'll go... okay?" Chu Junyi hesitated.

"Master said he wanted to see you."

They were going to see Gu Chengzhi's master, Mr. Nie.

In the Jin Dynasty, only those with outstanding moral character, knowledge, integrity, and prestige could be called gentlemen.

Mr. Nie was the number one scholar in the previous court. After entering the court, he was highly valued by the emperor. He was an official for more than ten years and was also loved by the people.However, he later resigned, opened the Hoi An Academy, and became the head of the mountain.

Over the years, Hoi An Academy has also become one of the best academies in the Jin Dynasty. Master Gu Er, Master Chu San, and Gu Chengzhi all came from Hoi An Academy, and Chu Junyi was also a student of Hoi An Academy before, but After his parents passed away, he was dismissed by the Chu family in the name of filial piety.

There is a bamboo forest in Hoi An Academy, which surrounds a small courtyard. The decoration in the courtyard is not so exquisite and gorgeous, but it makes people feel very comfortable.

There was only one room in the yard, and an old man was lying on a recliner in the room. He had white beard and hair, a kind face, and calm and deep eyes. When he saw Gu Chengzhi push the door in, he smiled.

"I thought you didn't intend to come, why did you come so late?" The old man smiled and sat up.

After Gu Chengzhi and Chu Junyi entered the room, they first closed the door, and then saluted the old man together.

Gu Chengzhi said: "Master"

And Chu Junyi called him: "Shan Zhang."

This old man was Mr. Nie. Chu Junyi took a few glances secretly. He had seen Mr. Nie before, but he had never observed him at such a close distance.

Mr. Nie nodded, but his eyes moved to Chu Junyi's body. After looking him up and down, he sighed: "It looks like it, but it doesn't look like it."

Chu Junyi looked up at him.

"In appearance, he is somewhat similar to your father, but he is not as good as your father in temperament. At your age, your father always looks like 'I am the best in the world' every day. It's not that he looks so good. It's just that young people should be a little bit energetic, don't be so lifeless." Mr. Nie shook his head.

"Yes." Chu Junyi bowed his head in response.

Master Chu San was very aggressive when he was young, but after several years of honing in the court, the edges and corners of his body have been polished and rounded a lot.

On the contrary, Mr. Nie has a very straightforward personality, and he seems to have a genuine temperament. Perhaps it is because of this that he resigned to teach. Perhaps it is more suitable for him to be a scholar than an official.

After the two sat down, Mr. Nie and Gu Chengzhi started talking, while Chu Junyi was listening. He was originally a companion, so naturally he wouldn't interrupt.

After agreeing on the enrollment of the two, Gu Chengzhi got up to leave.

On the way back, Chu Junyi thanked him, while Gu Chengzhi waved his hand and said, "You are a student of Hoi An Academy, so it's normal to go back now."

Chu Junyi smiled but did not answer. The door of Hoi An Academy is not easy to enter. He was able to study at the beginning because of the recommendation of Master Chu, but the Chu family later helped him resign from the academy. Going back is almost impossible.

There is also Mr. Nie, as a great Confucian in the world, it is really not something that anyone can see.Although Master Chu San also came from Hoi An Academy, he had passed away for so many years after all, and every time Hoi An Academy had someone pass the imperial examinations, there were not a few people who passed the first-class exams.

Mr. Nie was willing to see him today probably because of Gu Chengzhi, but even so he was grateful.

No one is born to be nice to him, and no one should be obliged to help him. Thinking about the Chu family, and then thinking about Gu Chengzhi, he kept this feeling in his heart.

After the matter of going back to the academy was finalized, Gu Chengzhi was relieved. Hoi An Academy was not just for Mr. Nie alone, he also had to take care of other teachers.

Da Jin Dynasty has been against masculinity for a long time. Although nothing happened between him and Chu Junyi, in the eyes of outsiders, they are husband and wife if they become relatives.

If other people in the academy insisted on objecting, Mr. Nie could not ignore their opinions, so he only mentioned it a little during his visit last time, and asked Mr. Nie to discuss it with others.After all, twisted melons are not sweet, he came back to the academy to study, not to see their faces.

The carriage has already passed through the noisy street, and will arrive at Marquis Ji'an's mansion in a short time.

Chu Junyi leaned on his chin in a daze, but suddenly laughed. He turned his head to look at Gu Chengzhi and said, "If they know that we are going to the academy, they must look very 'good-looking'." family.

Gu Chengzhi didn't take it seriously and said, "It's up to them what they think, don't worry about it."

In fact, Chu Junyi was looking forward to seeing them change their faces. The old master Chu and the old lady Chu had complicated feelings for him. They hated him because of the sentence that hindered their children, and because he was their grandson, they were a little reluctant to attack him. In the end, it became what it is now. While allowing other people to treat him coldly and violently, at the same time restraining the servants from letting them abuse him.

Old Mrs. Chu likes Mr. Fifth Chu, and he often neglects other grandchildren. This is not just for him, but Mrs. Chu didn't like him since she was a child.He's not really a child, and he doesn't have that much admiration, so that's about it for his grandparents.

But for the other rooms, if they heard the news, they would probably itch their teeth with hatred. He was really looking forward to it.

Suddenly, the carriage braked suddenly and stopped. Chu Junyi was thinking about something. When the car stopped, he rushed out due to inertia. Gu Chengzhi quickly reached out to grab him and pulled him back. It hit him directly in the chest.

Rubbing the bumped forehead, the only thought in Chu Junyi's mind was: It's so hard...

"What happened?!" Gu Chengzhi said in a deep voice.

It seemed that someone was pulling something outside, and the attendant with the car said in a low voice: "Third Master, someone is blocking the car."

Gu Chengzhi's face sank, he turned around a few times in his heart, then he stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and pushed the car door open.

A gust of cold wind blew into the car, and Chu Junyi couldn't help shaking. The stove in the carriage didn't feel cold, but when the outside wind blew in, the heat in the car was blown away.

Tightening his clothes, Chu Junyi also looked out.

The person who stopped the car was a girl dressed as a girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, and cloud-like hair on her temples. Her expression was arrogant, which didn't match her attire.When she saw the car door being pushed open, her eyes lit up. She looked around the two people in the car, and then asked, "Who is Gu Sanye?"

Gu Chengzhi sized him up with a sullen face, and said slowly, "I am."

Chu Junyi was also observing this girl. Her behavior was not from an ordinary family. He had not seen many girls, but if he wanted to compare, there were two other girls from the Chu family that could be used as a reference.The girl who stopped the car was not as good as Miss Chu Er in terms of demeanor, but she was much better than Miss Chu... If you don't look at her behavior of blocking the car.

Hearing that Gu Chengzhi admitted that he was Gu Sanye, the girl who stopped the car showed excitement.

Chu Junyi twitched his lips, what's going on? !Has Gu Chengzhi met a brain-dead fan? !

But at this time, he also noticed that the girl's eyes had heavy shadows and bags under her eyes, and there were some red blood in her eyes. She probably didn't have a good rest, but she put powder on her face, so she didn't pay attention at first. arrive.

The hidden fatigue didn't affect the girl's good mood. She looked at Gu Chengzhi with bright eyes, and said, "Mr. Gu, I'm your fiancee!"

Chu Junyi stared at the girl with wide eyes in disbelief, then turned his gaze back to Gu Chengzhi.

Where did Gu Chengzhi get married to his fiancée? !Why doesn't he know? !
