Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

It is said that no one knows his father better than a son.

Even though Gu Yanshu and Gu Hongji didn't get along for a long time, and they didn't even meet each other a few times, Gu Yanshu still had a thorough understanding of Gu Hongji's character.

Leaving nothing else aside, Gu Hongji couldn't find fault with the women that Gu Yanshu gave.

Soon, Gu Hongji picked out the one he liked the most.

Before giving these materials to Gu Hongji, Qin Lu had already read them once.

Now with only a slight glance, Qin Lu was sure that Gu Hongji had chosen a woman surnamed Tang.

This Miss Tang is the niece of the Minister of Rites. She is in her prime, with a beautiful appearance and good conditions in all aspects.

Although Ms. Tang's conditions are not outstanding in Beijing, they are definitely not to the point of worrying about getting married. The reason why she has been delayed until now and has not left the cabinet has to start with her previous marriage contract.

Officials always like to make plans in advance, and the Tang family is no exception.

So when Ms. Tang was in Doukou, the Tang family had already made a decision, and they could marry directly after Miss Tang reached Ji.

It's just that there was an unforeseen situation. Just half a year before Miss Tang and Ji, the grandmother of the husband's family passed away suddenly.

Because Ms. Tang and her fiancé were still young at that time, the two parties didn't have to rush to get married during the filial piety.

So the Tang family and Ms. Tang chose to wait three years for the man to get rid of his clothes.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that just when the man was about to take off his clothes, the grandfather of the man's family suddenly fell ill again, and finally failed to survive, and passed away along with him.

This time, the Tang family, who were not in a hurry, panicked.

After all, Miss Tang was almost eighteen at that time, and if she waited another three years, she would be 21.

This woman's best years are just a few years in a hurry, and they are gone in a blink of an eye.

Even if the Tang family is willing to wait, Miss Tang's age cannot afford to wait.

So this time, the Tang family discussed with the man to let Miss Tang and her fiancé get married during the filial piety.

Miss Tang has been waiting for the man for three years, and missed the best flowering period. Such a request is reasonable, and the man agreed to it at the beginning.

Who knew that when the Tang family started preparing for the wedding, they thought that there would be no more accidents.

But the man suddenly backtracked and came to the door directly to withdraw his marriage with Miss Tang, and even turned around and married the concubine daughter of the Minister of Rites.

How could the Tang family be willing to agree to such a thing?Naturally, I have to go to the door to theory

of.

In the end, the family was fine, they didn't apologize, they didn't say anything, and they even beat them up.

It is said that Miss Tang's bad luck caused this situation. Otherwise, how could something happen to the elders every time Miss Tang wanted to enter their house?

Aside from pouring dirty water on Miss Tang, the family wanted to be a good person instead.

What did they say that Miss Tang was too old, and her fate was not good, so she couldn't be a regular wife. Seeing that there was a marriage contract, they didn't dislike it, and they were willing to let Miss Tang come in as a concubine.

But it is impossible for any bloody family to agree to such a ridiculous thing, and Miss Tang is naturally unwilling.

As a result, the two in-laws did not make it, but formed an enmity, and Miss Tang was delayed like this.

After retiring the engagement, although Ms. Tang was not at fault, most people in the world treated women meanly.

Especially when the family said that Ms. Tang's fate was not good, that she punished her parents, etc., Ms. Tang's reputation was completely ruined.

If you put it in a noble family with a strong family background, ask for a lower level, and then look down, you may not be able to find Mr. Ruyi.

However, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites has a small official position and no real power in his hands. This Miss Tang is only the niece of the Minister and not his own daughter, so the marriage suddenly became difficult.

During this period, many people even approached the Tang family with the man's old saying that "it's impossible to be a regular wife, but you can come in and be a concubine" in an attempt to take Miss Tang as a concubine.

Miss Tang is a fiery person, she speaks harsh words directly, she would rather hang her head and be a sister-in-law than a concubine.

Those people were beaten out of the door directly.

Although this approach was praised by many people, these praises did not bring any real benefits to Miss Tang.

Two years have passed since she was divorced, and Ms. Tang has not been able to find a suitable family.

Maybe it's the meanness of the ex-fiancé's family, or maybe it's the shamelessness of those who have come to propose marriage in the past two years.

In just two years, this Miss Tang has changed from a boudoir daughter who only knows romance to an iron lady who is full of steel and iron.

Not only has the mansion been kept in an orderly manner, it has even improved the dowry industry of the female relatives in the family.

Not long ago, Ms. Tang's ex-fiancé, who ruined her marriage and ruined her reputation, was dismissed by her immediate superior because of his poor performance.

Even his father-in-law, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, followed him and ate a meal at the mercy of his father.

Right component

People don't know the inside story, so they just think that Miss Tang's ex-fiancé is mediocre and messed up the job.

However, it is not difficult to see from the information obtained by Zhige's investigation that Ms. Tang's help is indispensable behind this.

A boudoir woman who was locked in the backyard was able to stir up the situation in the past through tricks.

Although this is due to the low official position of Miss Tang's ex-fiancé, it is enough to reflect Miss Tang's heart and skills.

Among the people that Gu Yanshu prepared for Gu Hongji, Miss Tang was the most difficult one to deal with.

It was a coincidence that Gu Hongji chose this Miss Tang directly...

You must know that the backyard of the Hou Mansion is not a clean place.

Let's not talk about whether he is a concubine or a concubine in the backyard, just say that Gu Hongji can let a concubine be in charge of the family for more than ten years, which is already a mess.

Not to mention that there was another critical moment when the old lady who was either pretending to be deaf or dumb, or pulling sideways was present, which made it even more lively.

However, because of her own experience, Miss Tang couldn't rub a little sand in her eyes.

When Miss Tang enters the door in the future, Gu Yanshu can guess what the backyard of the Chengenhou Mansion will be like without even thinking about it.

How could Gu Hongji have thought that Gu Yanshu would just dig such a big hole for him just by choosing a successor?

Now he was looking at Miss Tang's information, and the more he read it, the more he was satisfied. Not to mention that she came from a noble family, she seemed to be extremely knowledgeable, beautiful and perfect at the same time.

Looking at it, Gu Hongji even thought of the scene where he and Miss Tang spent the past month together, raising their eyebrows and singing in harmony.

At this time, Gu Yanshu spoke at the right time:

"It seems that father is quite satisfied with Miss Tang?"

"Cough, cough, okay."

Gu Hongji coughed twice, and nodded reluctantly, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Gu Yanshu didn't bother to expose him:

"Since my father thinks it's okay, I'll let my elder brother invite the iceman later."

"So urgent?" Gu Hongji frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.

Although he did need a stepmother, it seemed a bit hasty to settle in such a hurry.

"Father has also seen that Miss Tang is not too young now. The Tang family has also become anxious recently, and the conditions are much looser than before. As far as I know, there are already people who want to come to propose marriage. What if we If you don’t hurry up, it might be too late.”

Gu Yanshu knew that Gu Yanshu

What kind of temperament is Hongji? Naturally, he already knew how he would react, so he directly came up with the rhetoric he had prepared from the beginning:

"Father is marrying a regular wife this time. It's no different than taking a concubine. The process of three books and six rituals will take half a year at least. If the father doesn't hurry up, the two younger sisters in the family will also waste their flowering time. Father should be more careful. good."

Upon hearing this, Gu Hongji couldn't care less about whether to be in a hurry, and hurriedly nodded:

"Since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to Yanli."

"Yes, father."

Gu Yanli, who was sitting at the side, was waiting for Gu Hongji's words, and answered the matter directly.

Without even giving Gu Hongji a chance to refute, he directly picked up Miss Tang's portrait from the table, and after asking Qin Lu to resign, he turned his head and left the hall. went.

In this way, without even giving the old lady and others a chance to refute, the matter of Gu Hongji marrying a wife was settled like this.

After arranging a marriage for Gu Hongji, Gu Yanshu's goal of returning home this time has been fulfilled. In addition, Gu Yanli also left the Hou's Mansion because he was looking for a matchmaker for Gu Hongji, so Gu Yanshu has no intention of dealing with other people.

After saying a few words, Gu Yanshu was ready to leave.

Gu Hongji was already afraid of Qin Lu, once he heard that Gu Yanshu said he was going to leave, he naturally wouldn't keep him, so he hurriedly sent the two of them out of the Hou Mansion.

"What is the prince looking at?"

Sitting in the carriage back to the palace in a good mood, Gu Yanshu just poured himself a cup of tea when he raised his eyes to see Qin Lu looking at him with great interest, his brows slightly raised.

While speaking, Gu Yanshu also poured a cup of tea for Qin Lu.

Eyes met, Qin Lu took the teacup from Gu Yanshu's hand and smiled softly:

"Of course I was looking at the princess. I didn't expect the princess to know Cheng Enhou so well."

When Gu Hongji was still selecting materials, Gu Yanshu told Qin Lu that Gu Hongji would probably pick Miss Tang.

At that time, Qin Lu only thought that Gu Yanshu was guessing casually, but looking at it now, he did not expect Gu Yanshu to guess correctly.

And Gu Yanshu gave Qin Lufei a slightly smug look:

"That's natural. Miss Tang's information, but I edited it according to my father's preferences."

Gu Yanshu knew too well what kind of woman Gu Hongji liked. They had to be good-looking, gentle, and full of scriptures. Coincidentally, Miss Tang met all these conditions.

Watching

With his princess' eyes full of smiles, Qin Lu suddenly thought of a little fox he met on the march three years ago.

That little fox is extremely clever, and can always use various methods to cheat food from the soldiers under him every time.

Every time he cheated the food, the little fox would sit not far from the team, holding the food he cheated, swinging his big furry tail, his eyes full of cunning.

That smug and naive little appearance makes people want to go up and rub it when they see it.

It's just that the little fox is very cunning, and often turns around and runs away before anyone reaches out.

Only the tip of the fluffy tail was left for everyone, which tickled people's hearts.

Many soldiers loved and hated the little fox because of his actions.

He bluntly said that next time he saw that fox, he must be caught and his fur peeled off to see how proud he was.

However, when they saw the little fox next time, the soldiers seemed to have forgotten the cruel words they had said.

Not only was he reluctant to attack him, but he was once again deceived by the little fox's pitiful appearance and willingly took out food to share with him.

At that time, although Qin Lu didn't care about the leisure entertainment of the soldiers, he also couldn't understand the love those subordinates had for the fox.

But now, looking at Gu Yanshu's appearance at this time, Qin Lu seems to understand the mentality of those soldiers at that time.

The cunning and naive appearance of the little fox really makes one's hands itch.

"It seems that this Hou's mansion is going to be lively in the future." Gu Yanshu didn't know what Qin Lu was thinking at this time, and when he thought of Miss Tang, his eyes smiled even more, "It's a pity, I can't see it."

He said regretful words, but in his tone, there was no sense of regret at all. If you listen carefully, you can still hear a trace of gloating.

Perhaps it was because the fox tail behind Gu Yanshu was too obvious, Qin Lu couldn't hold back the desire to tease him in the end:

"How can the princess be sure that Miss Tang will also be willing?"

Since Gu Yanshu put the information in front of Gu Hongji, and even went to great lengths to get Gu Hongji to choose Miss Tang, naturally he would not let Miss Tang have any trouble.

Although Ms. Tang has a high wrist, it is no match for the prejudice and harshness of the world towards women.

Regarding the fact that Miss Tang stayed in the Tang family, the female family members of the Tang family have long had a grudge, and the Tang family also has two young ladies of the right age.

If Ms. Tang doesn't come out of the pavilion for a long time, there will be concerns about the marriage of these two ladies.

hindered.

So Gu Yanshu just said that Miss Tang was in a hurry and lowered her requirements and standards, which is also true.

Now Miss Tang has been forced by her family to come into contact with men from poor peasant families and widowers like Gu Hongji who lost their wives and never married.

Compared with others, although Gu Hongji's backyard is ugly, it also has several very obvious advantages.

One of these is Gu Hongji's identity.

Although the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion has long since fallen, there are still three catties of nails on the rotten ship. Compared with the homes of ordinary people nearby, the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion can be regarded as noble.

The second is that although the old lady likes to be a demon, she is not in good health, and she can't cause any disturbances at all. Miss Tang can directly take charge of the house as soon as she enters the house.

The third is that the population in the backyard of Marquis Cheng'en Mansion is simple.

Now there is only Gu Hongji in Beijing, and Miss Tang doesn't have to face those bad things between her sisters-in-law and uncles.

And the last point, which is also the most important point, is that Gu Yanli will give Miss Tang the greatest freedom and respect.

To say something that no one else could refute, regarding the age difference between Miss Tang and Gu Hongji, Gu Hongji will definitely walk ahead of Miss Tang in the future.

At that time, what kind of life Miss Tang can live in this Hou's mansion will depend on the face of the new Marquis.

Gu Yanli, as the legitimate heir of the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion, will definitely be able to inherit the title if there is no accident.

If Gu Yanli can make the promise in person, it will naturally dispel Miss Tang's worries.

It was also for this reason that Gu Yanli was asked to invite the Iceman himself.

As long as Miss Tang is smart enough, she will be able to understand the deep meaning of this move.

And Gu Yanshu chose Ms. Tang as Gu Hongji's No. 1 successor because she was smart enough.

With the addition of several factors, Gu Yanshu will not doubt Miss Tang's final choice at all.

Besides, even if Miss Tang gave an answer that was completely opposite to Gu Yanshu's imagination, Gu Yanshu still had enough confidence to be able to fool... No, it was to persuade Miss Tang to change her mind.

So now when hearing Qin Lu's question, Gu Yanshu is not only not worried at all, but the big fluffy tail behind him dangles even more fiercely:

"You don't have to worry about this. I never do things that I'm not sure about."

Qin Lu's hands were itchy when he saw Gu Yanshu's appearance like a little fox, but now he saw Gu Yanshu's happy face, and finally couldn't hold back, and stretched out his hand.

No matter in the previous life or in this life, this was the first time someone "broke ground" on top of Gu Yanshu's head.

Seniors

Zi Gu Yanshu's parents are relatively reserved people.

Although the love for Gu Yanshu is not watery, but there are very few intimate actions such as hugging and touching the head with him.

Later, Gu Yanshu's status became higher and higher, so people naturally wanted to hit him on the head.

As for now, Gu Yanli is also not good at expressing himself, the only time his emotions leaked was when Gu Yanshu escaped from marriage.

Now that Qin Lu rubbed his head suddenly, Gu Yanshu was stunned by the strange touch, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face instantly.

Gu Yanshu's reaction, in Qin Lu's eyes, turned into a resistance to his actions.

Suddenly, Qin Lu's hand on Gu Yanshu's head froze.

Just when Qin Lu pursed his lips slightly and was about to withdraw his hand, he noticed that under his palm, the hairy head was pushing upwards slightly, and then...

The top of Gu Yanshu's head gently rubbed against Qin Lu's palm.
