CHAPTER XIV

How much Ren Lei Yao wanted to ignore it, Gu Weizhi's somewhat forbearant painful expression made him have to repeatedly review whether there were really any shortcomings in his body that made Master Gu so reluctant.

Is it because he is currently a prince with no real power? Or is his talent and attainments far from what Lord Gu expected? Or is it because Lord Gu's daughter is waiting for the opportunity to enter the palace in the draft?

After successfully completing the errand entrusted by Brother Wang, Lei Yao set off to return to Beijing. Back in the mansion, the old housekeeper had already prepared more than half of the dowry, and the rest had to wait for Lei Yao to decide. The princess's future bedroom also needs to be renovated, and the furnishings in the house will have to be completely new. Lei Yao didn't rush to the Gu family, although he couldn't wait to see Chaoyan in his heart. He had just returned from the border pass, and Lei Xiao was in public office and sister-in-law was in private, and they all summoned him to the palace several times. I also had to go to the celebration banquet of the soldiers who returned triumphantly in this border battle. There are also matters to be prepared in the house, for a while, there are thousands of things, and he is a doppelganger. Finally, when things were calm, he planned to meet Master Gu first.

At the beginning, Gu Weizhi was in a good mood. He likes Lei Yao, as a military general, he is brilliantly literate, humble and reasonable, and can be called a humble gentleman who is as gentle as jade. Compared with Lei Xiao, he is a little less domineering and ruthless, and it is also for this reason that Gu Weizhi deviated from the decision of the old master Lei Bao at the last moment, and unanimously asked Lei Xiao to be established as the heir with several other ministers. Gu Weizhi didn't have any preference for the two of them, but objectively speaking, with the current situation of Anguo, a strong ruler can be competent.

Of course, what Gu Weizhi didn't expect was that the gentle and kind third lady would be given a funeral. Back then, Gu Wei's family had an accident, life was difficult, and he was stubborn by nature, and refused to ask for help, after the third lady knew, she sold her jewelry and asked someone to bring it to the Gu family. After Lei Xiao gave the death of the third lady, he always suspected that Lei Yao would be dissatisfied because of this matter, and Lei Yao returned from a big defeat in the previous battle, so Lei Xiao pushed the boat down the river, put him on hold, and let him be an idle prince at home. Because of this, Gu Weizhi has always been very sorry for Lei Yao, so he is a little closer and more loving to him than the people next to him.

But after some greetings, Lei Yao actually proposed that he wanted to marry a daughter of the Gu family as his wife. For Gu Weizhi, this is tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, no matter how good his cultivation is, that reluctance will still gush out. Although things were mentally prepared, Lei Yao had to admit that he was really frustrated. He was not discouraged, but tried to find a way to let Lord Gu express his emotions, and more importantly, he hoped that Lord Gu would agree.

If his identity is not the prince, Lei Yao will be a rare candidate for a son-in-law. Gu Weizhi, like all other fathers, wants to find a lover for his beloved daughter. With Lei Yao's character, talent and morality, it is more than enough to match his daughter, but it is the prince, let him send his daughter to the muddy pool, Gu Weizhi will definitely not be happy.

"Gu's daughter is mediocre in character and appearance, and she is really not worthy of the prince's love. Gu Weizhi stiffened. Although Lei Yao has a good personality, he will never want to be rejected. "Please also ask the prince to find another match. ”

"Why should Lord Gu be humble, with Lord Gu's family education, your daughter must also be quite talented, as for appearance, marrying a wife and marrying virtue, how can I mind?" Lei Yao slowly picked up the tea, Lord Gu's face was really bad, fortunately, this tea was served before, otherwise I am not sure if it will be poisoned.

"This ......" Gu Weizhi was clumsy in his tongue, he couldn't directly say that he didn't want his daughter to marry the prince.

"Master Gu, I have always admired your talent and morality, so please rest assured, I will definitely treat your daughter well. Lei Yao said sincerely. "Just promise me. ”

"I ......"

"You have two daughters, and I believe that in terms of age, the eldest daughter should be more suitable. Lei Yao then said, "If you don't have any opinions, I will send someone to send a dowry gift after the king." ”

"Since the prince has made up his mind, then so be it. No matter how sluggish Gu Weizhi was, he didn't dare to resist too much. What's more, in his heart, there is always a bit of compensation and other complicated thoughts. But no matter what, he finally agreed with difficulty.

A faint smile appeared on Lei Yao's face, and he felt relieved.
