058 Unwilling
Regarding the selection of the five princesses, not only Empress Chen's side, but also Huai Wangfu also has some ideas.
King Huai secretly stood on the queen's side, but both parties had some concerns and couldn't trust each other, and the best way to do it was to marry. It's just that in addition to Concubine Jin in the palace, the rest of the sisters are either far away in the south of the Yangtze River, or they are married to the northwest, and the only one of the sisters who married into Beijing has only a concubine in the family, and the family is not high.
What he can do is the girl from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and now there are two girls who are of the right age. Princess Huihe invited many girls from Beijing to the flower banquet, and Princess Huai knew in her heart that it was just a formality.
It's just that the identity of the fifth prince is special, that is, to be this princess, I am afraid that in the future, I will be laughed at openly and secretly. The five princes are mentally incomplete, presumably they can't get any real power, and they will be the life of an idle prince. It's okay if the three princes are still thinking about it, but after he gets married, he can't let the three princes take care of it all the time. The Fifth Imperial Concubine is just an empty title, which sounds better.
Gu Qingwan's reputation in Beijing is not good, and Princess Huihe has naturally heard of it. Although what I saw in the princess's mansion was not as spicy and vulgar as rumored, it was also vulgar and had nothing to show for it. She and Empress Chen chose a concubine for the five princes, so they naturally wanted to choose someone who stood out and blocked other people's mouths.
Princess Huihe took a fancy to the five girls of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Although Empress Chen had never met the two girls of the Gu family, she naturally believed in Princess Huihe's decision.
It's just that when she proposed a candidate to Princess Huai, Princess Huai was a little embarrassed, although she was close to the Gu family. But he couldn't be the head of the Gu family, so he could only vaguely express Queen Chen's meaning to Old Madam Gu and Lord Zhaocheng.
Sacrificing a third girl was originally the biggest concession of the Gu family, anyway, the three girls were old and no one came to the door to propose. But according to Gu Qingyan's good looks, she is still young now. The Gu family will definitely be of greater use in the future if she keeps her. It's just that the interests are at stake, but the old lady Gu and the eldest lady did not refuse, but only said that they would think about it for a while.
Old Madam Gu naturally only discussed with the eldest lady and the eldest lord of the big house. As for the second room, they have the same tone, and they must not let the second room know about this before. The little Sun family is short-sighted, and the second master Gu Mingli has loved Gu Qingyan very much since he was a child, if they know about it, I am afraid that he will make trouble.
Just when the eldest lord weighed the pros and cons and persuaded Mrs. Gu, it happened that Gu Qingyan caused the five princes to fall into the water.
Although on the surface this matter has calmed down. But when the eldest lady heard Princess Huai say that every time the fifth prince mentioned Gu Qingyan, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and looked very disgusted, but she asked Gu Qingwan several times when she would come to play with him.
Later, the fifth prince was forcibly taken back to the house by the people sent by the third prince. Before leaving, he also instructed Gu Qingwan to come to the Three Princes' Mansion to find him.
Princess Huai and the eldest lady had seen some signs since that day, but they were not surprised. But she didn't expect that after a period of time, Princess Huihe invited the eldest lady and Princess Huai to the princess's mansion, and this time the people of the five princesses were replaced by Gu Qingwan.
"Actually, I like the five girls in your house, they are reasonable, and their appearance and talent are also first-class. Now, as soon as Ah Rui heard the five girls in your house, he said no...... His tone was not very good, and he made a fuss in front of his mother a few more times. It's the princess of Ari's choice. Previously, the queen mother said that she wanted to do what he wanted, but the mother had no choice, so she changed the candidate. ”
The eldest lady still remembered the coldness on Princess Megumi's face when she said this. Although this matter is over, her words show that the queen mother and herself are very concerned about this matter.
It's that the girl of the Gu family doesn't want to marry, and now she has to marry.
changed the selection from five girls to three girls, and the eldest lady was naturally very happy in her heart. This was exactly what she and Old Madam Gu had calculated. Gu Qingwan has a special status in the mansion, her biological mother died early, and the second master Gu Mingli doesn't seem to care about her very much, or the old lady, who also had the idea of letting Gu Qingwan enter the Fifth Prince's Mansion before.
From beginning to end, she didn't seem to have considered whether Gu Qingwan cared or not, probably because she felt that she had no support in the mansion.
Even if the Gu family was willing, the eldest lady said that she had gone to the house and asked the old lady Gu before answering. Within two days, the marriage was preliminarily decided, and half a month later, the holy decree of marriage arrived at the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion.
The five princesses and concubines are the three girls who have always been known for their arrogance in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, although there was an uproar in Beijing, but the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was very calm. The calmest is none other than the protagonist in this holy decree, Gu Qingwan, the third girl of the Gu family.
In the days after receiving the holy decree, Gu Qingwan had a somewhat confused life. Seeing that she was not noisy or noisy, Mrs. Gu was very puzzled, and when she saw that her expression was more radiant than before, she was afraid that she was lost because of anger.
It's just that at this juncture, how dare the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion invite a doctor to come and see Gu Qingwan outside? As soon as the holy decree was issued, the three girls of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion fell ill, which is not even more tongue-in-cheek, and when they poked into the palace, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was full of mouths and couldn't tell. Old Madam Gu couldn't, so she could only send the jade cup to the Yuanxiang Pavilion to keep an eye on Gu Qingwan, for fear that Gu Qingwan wouldn't be able to think about it for a while and do something stupid.
Fortunately, Gu Qingwan just reflected that she was a little sluggish and didn't like to talk, and her life was still the same as before, and she didn't have any thoughts of looking for a short-sighted.
Although Yuzhan lived in Yuanxiang Pavilion for a few days and didn't see anything abnormal, Old Madam Gu was still not at ease, and she had other thoughts in her heart, so she gave Gu Qingwan the Baotian and Jin Hai in her house and came back for Yuzhan. Yuzhan has been absent for a few days, and the Tansong Courtyard, which has always been in order, is about to be messed up.
It was the first time that Old Madam Gu gave her personal maid to the girl of the Gu family, but at this time, no girl in the Gu family would hate her, because Old Madam Gu didn't want this kind of care now.
From the holy decree of marriage to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Gu Qingyan, who was lingering on the sickbed, was also half better, she went to Yuanxiang Pavilion several times and ate closed-door soup, and now her favorite thing is to go to the garden near Yuanxiang Pavilion. But I didn't see Gu Qingwan a few times when I came and went, and every time I came and went, I was very disappointed.
It's just that this unlucky Fifth Princess's concubine was chosen by Gu Qingwan, which made her very happy, that is, Mrs. Gu had to punish her to kneel in the Buddhist hall every day to accompany her to recite scriptures, and she was also happy.
The fourth girl gloated and was a little jealous at the same time, she was a concubine, although she didn't want to fight for this candidate, but every time she thought that because of her background, she was born shorter than Gu Qingwan, but she didn't even have the qualifications to fight, and she was a little unhappy. And the sixth girl's mind is much more complicated, on the one hand, she laughed at Gu Qingwan for finally getting bad retribution, and on the other hand, she regretted why this candidate was not Gu Qingyan.
However, the seventh girl sighed in front of Aunt Zeng, and Aunt Zeng said: "It's a blessing or a curse, and it can't be avoided." Yan'er, you remember, you don't have to send charcoal in the snow, but you can't do anything that falls into the ground. After that, she said jokingly, "It has always been a blessing and a curse, and now you sigh at your third sister, maybe she will be the most creative of the sisters in the future." ”
Shouldn't the most creative of the sisters be the eldest sister who married into the Zhenguo Mansion? The seventh girl nodded as if she didn't understand, and after many years, she recalled what Aunt Zeng said now, but it was in one sentence.
Gu Qingwan was in a daze for a few days, but she didn't even go to Old Madam Gu's Morning and Dusk Province, Old Madam Gu felt ashamed in her heart, and she was very tolerant of her. Gu Qingwan had been nesting in the Yuanxiang Pavilion for half a month, and the maids in the Yuanxiang Pavilion didn't dare to provoke her, even if they made a loud noise.
Bao Tian and Jin Hai were sent to Yuanxiang Pavilion by Old Lady Gu, and they were naturally very unwilling. Old Madam Gu asked them to come to Yuanxiang Pavilion, and they knew in their hearts that they would follow Gu Qingwan to the Five Princes' Mansion in the future, so they were even more unhappy. It's just that Old Madam Gu's order, they don't dare to disobey it openly, so they can only roll up the burden aggrieved.
Bao Tian and Jin Hai are the big maids next to Mrs. Gu, and on weekdays, the ladies in the mansion are also a little polite when they see them, not to mention the girls in the mansion. It's just that after they came to Yuanxiang Pavilion, Gu Qingwan not only didn't bother to see them, but even asked Guiye to arrange their residence casually, and even what to do on weekdays, she gave Guiye full authority to arrange.
It's just that the two of them came out in Tansong Courtyard, how dare Guiye arrange the two of them, this time, Baotian and Jin Hai have nothing to do all day long, as if they are having an idle meal.
However, their deeds are still in the hands of Mrs. Gu, that is, the monthly money every month is directly allocated from the Tansong Courtyard, so there is no need to worry too much about the three girls.
Although Gu Qingwan didn't look very good in her mental condition, she thought very clearly in her heart, if Gu Qingyan didn't let the fifth prince fall into the water, in terms of family affairs, the Gu family naturally took the initiative. The Gu family is unwilling to sacrifice the concubines in the house, that is, Princess Huai and the queen mother are reluctant, because neither party wants to marry and make enemies.
But Gu Qingyan pushed the five princes into the water, and the Gu family was obviously at a loss, and the five princesses and concubines were definitely going to be out of the Gu family.
Gu Qingyan's cause of planting is now asking her to bear the consequences. However, maybe Old Madam Gu had long thought that this was her value, otherwise when she went to the flower viewing banquet, she didn't have to send a jade plate to Yuanxiang Pavilion. No matter how tough Queen Chen's attitude is, she will ask the Gu family for their meaning and then ask for advice, but it is ridiculous that the old lady Gu and the eldest lady actually concealed this matter to the death.
Gu Qingwan thought of this and sneered.
The holy decree has been issued, and it seems that there is no room for reversal in this family matter, even if it is unwilling. I just hope that in the future, the people of the Gu family will not regret today's decision. (To be continued.)
