Chapter 437: Relatives
Guo Wenying lowered her head and didn't dare to answer, Guo Yi said: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense, Hugh is going to scare the child." ”
The third uncle, Guo Yikai, couldn't help laughing, "What did the eldest brother say, if he was so easily frightened, how could he lead the troops to fight? ”
Guo Yiming said: "What is just around the corner, if she were a man, she would have been crowned a marquis a long time ago." "With Guo Wenying's contribution to Nanqi, it is absolutely not a problem to be named a marquis.
Guo Wenying listened to their discussions, and felt that there were some things that should be said, so he said: "Uncle Hui, Wenying will go to the Ministry of Industry to report after the New Year, and the emperor decreed that Wenying should be appointed as a five-grade servant." ”
Guo Yiqian was stunned, "When did this happen?
"The emperor said it. ”
"Have you seen the emperor?"
Guo Wenying's face flushed slightly, "When I saw the emperor yesterday, he said that the holy decree was still pressed in the imperial study, and the decree would be issued after the New Year." It's just that Wen Ying didn't know whether to obey the order or not, so she asked her uncle for advice. "Actually, she didn't need to explain this matter clearly, but now she has to rely on Dingguo Gong to help her stand firm in the court, and some things are better explained, so as not to divide each other.
Guo Yi thought about it for a while, "If you want to enter the court, I'm afraid that it will make waves again, but since it is the emperor's intention, there is no need to shirk it, you are not a caged bird, there should be a vast world for you to fly." ”
Guo Wenying didn't expect Guo Yiqian to support her so much, she couldn't help but be grateful, and hurriedly said: "Wenying thank you uncle." She said and kowtowed to Guo Yixuan and Guo Yikai, "Wen Ying also thanks the second and third uncles." ”
Although Guo Yixuan and Guo Yikai are both officials in the court, they are not Beijing officials, and they will leave Beijing after the New Year, so they can't help her, they only tell her to be careful.
Guo Wenying responded with a smile, and said: "There is one more thing to go back to my uncle, Wenying will get married in a few days." ”
Guo Yiqian was drinking tea, and when he heard this, he almost squirted out the tea, and he exclaimed: "What nonsense are you talking about?
Guo Wenying was silent by default, she also knew that her pro-mate was really ridiculous, but this was almost the best way now, the emperor allowed her to stay outside for a few more years, although the two of them still maintained this relationship, but the pro-family still had to be successful. She needed a name, even if it was just psychological comfort.
Duchess Dingguo was talking to the two ladies over there, when she heard the sound here, she hurriedly came over, "What's the matter?"
Guo Yiqian snorted, "You asked him yourself, she actually said that she was going to get married." ”
Duchess Dingguo smiled: "What should I do, what are you worried about the children's marriage?" She went over to help Guo Wenying up, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Wenying, who are you going to marry with?"
Guo Wenying shook her head, "Auntie, I can't say this." ”
Guo Yiqian was furious, "What kind of person is mysterious and secret, and he can't even say his name?" he said and couldn't help but say: "The emperor knows about this? Don't make an assertion and harm your family again." ”
Guo Wenying and Feng Jingting's ambiguous appearance of dripping water, although they are not clear, are also well known. The reason why he never thought of proposing marriage to Guo Wenying was also because of this reason, and he was still thinking that one day she would be able to enter the main palace and glorify the lintel.
Guo Wenying is a woman in the end, in front of so many uncles and elders, how can she be embarrassed to open her mouth, but her uncle asked eagerly, so she had to nod and say, "The emperor agrees." ”
Guo Yiqian was suddenly surprised, who can agree to the emperor? Unless......
His heart suddenly moved, and then he couldn't help but get excited, if this is the case, then the Guo family will have a bright future in the future.
Guo Yixuan and Guo Yikai didn't understand yet, so they just said there: "How could the emperor agree?
Guo Yiqian didn't reply to them, but only pretended to be calm and asked Guo Wenying, "Where is the wedding going on? What should I do? Does the Holy One have a will?"
Guo Wenying said: "It's okay to be casual, don't be extravagant about this matter, just set up a small banquet in the house, and ask your uncle to consider it on your behalf." The number of people should not be large, and two tables are good. ”
Guo Yiqian wondered, "Why is it so simple?"
Guo Wenying didn't want to explain more, so she only said that it was the emperor's will.
Guo Yi knew that since it was the emperor's intention, he would do his best to accept it, but fortunately, he was also smart and would not leak half a sentence to the outside world. If others ask, they only say that it is an ordinary person. It's just that he is quite dissatisfied with the banquet being held on Zhuzi Street, not Dingguo Gong or Yongding Marquis' Mansion.
Guo Wenying's marriage was quickly announced in the house, and her brothers and sisters knew that she was going to get married, so they all pulled her to ask questions. The Duchess of Dingguo took her to meet the second and third aunts, and also met with several brothers and sisters.
Guo Yiming has a son and a daughter, Guo Yikai has a son and two daughters, Guo Wenying is the eldest among women in terms of age, the eldest daughter of Guo Mansion, and the specifications of marriage are naturally not too bad. Several aunts said that they would buy her a dowry, as well as a wedding dress or something, and the time was so tight that there was no time to prepare for many things.
Guo Wenying refused with a smile, saying that all her wedding ceremonies were simple and she didn't need any dowry.
The second aunt's face suddenly drooped, "Wen Ying, although it is the first time we have met, you are a niece, how can you not have a dowry?
Guo Wenying said: "Don't blame aunt, Wenying doesn't mean this." ”
At this time, she also felt quite a headache, let's not get married, it's not a good thing to have such a sneaky private relationship with Feng Jingting, but if you really get married, you can't be open, and you can't be successful after all. In private, I have to offend my relatives, and after the New Year, the two uncles and aunts left Beijing, and when they left, there was not so much to do.
After having lunch in the house and taking a nap, the Duchess of Dingguo told Guo Wenying to go to Xifu, she wanted to get married, how could she have to tell her grandmother and father for such a big matter. What's more, today is the reunion day, and the family of the three masters in Xifu is also in the house, so they will always go to see it.
Guo Wenying also knows this, in the eyes of outsiders, she is the daughter of the Marquis of Yongding at any time, if she doesn't inform her father, she will be played by the imperial history as an official in the future, and she will be poked in the backbone.
It happened that the second aunt and the third aunt were there, so they took Guo Wenying to meet Mrs. Fu together, speaking of which, Mrs. Fu is the only elder of the Guo family, and the nephews and daughters-in-law naturally want to visit. Guo Wanyun, Guo Wanxiang and several other daughters also quarreled to go together. There is a house on the left and right, and when you open the corner door, there is a family, so they all go with you.
They entered the West Mansion directly from the corner gate of the back garden, and someone had already sent a letter to the front, and after a while, Mrs. Gu of the third master's family greeted her.
