Chapter 16: Marriage
Guo Li heard such a joke in his previous life. The ancients had a matchmaker, when the matchmaker came to the door to propose, if the woman was willing, the matchmaker generally asked, what does the girl think? If the woman is willing, she will shyly say: "The daughter doesn't know at all, everything is up to the parents." "If you don't look down on the man, she will be righteous and awe-inspiring," the daughter just wants to serve her parents for a few more years to fulfill her filial piety. Naturally, the matchmaker understands the implications. originally thought it was a joke, but Guo Li actually experienced it today.
Although the identity of the princess among the people is noble, she is a generation younger in terms of generation. Baguio is the queen's sister, Wang Shouyi is the queen's brother, and Princess Wan'an stood with Guo Li after seeing the queen.
"My sister has lost a lot." Baguio looked at her sister distressedly.
Guo Li was looking at the supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty's harem. The face is exquisite, the demeanor is dignified, the waist is slender and willow, and the wind is weak. If it was placed in Guo Li's previous life, such a woman would definitely be shocked. It's just that in the Tang Dynasty, if you think about it, you will know that you won't receive too much favor from Tang Xuanzong.
"Yan Thin Ring Fat".
Tang Xuanzong's aesthetics are not the same as those of later generations, Tang Xuanzong likes plump women, the now favored Concubine Wu Hui, and the once-famous Yang Guifei.
If Empress Wang meets Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that she will be pampered in every way.
"This is Captain Guo, right? Today, thanks to the captain who rescued Baguio, this palace doesn't know how to thank you? Queen Wang's voice was crisp.
Guo Li said: "It's all what should be done, and the queen doesn't need to worry about it." ”
"Captain Guo, who is there? Gui Geng this year? ”
"Back to the queen, she spent 25 years in the Spring and Autumn Period, a native of Zhengxian County, Huazhou, her parents died, and she had no relatives at home."
Queen Wang kept looking at Guo Li, a bit like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. Sure enough, when he spoke again, Guo Li didn't know how to answer.
"This palace sees that the captain and Baguio have a lot of fate, why don't you call the shots in this palace, how about Baguio and you? What does Baguio think of Captain Guo? ”
"My sister is all up to my sister." Baguio looked shy.
When Guo Li heard Baguio's words, he remembered the ancient joke and understood that Baguio was willing.
Guo Li didn't know whether to agree or refuse.
Originally, Baguio was just an encounter after Guo Li came to Datang, and he couldn't even talk about an encounter. The two met in the water and have not said a word until now. Baguio is the eldest lady of the Wang family, everyone's lady, and her behavior is down-to-earth and generous. Guo Li doesn't have too many emotional extravagant hopes in his heart, and he just has a good impression of Baguio at best. If it weren't for the queen to speak, Guo Li would think about it when he was bored at most, and he didn't have any delusions. The gap between the two is too great. Now this gap has been narrowed to an infinitesimal distance by a word from the queen,
At this moment, the queen mother suddenly intended to give marriage, and it was probably inappropriate to refuse rashly, and it was not her intention to agree. After coming to the Tang Dynasty, he was in a state of confusion, and it was not until the princess gave the word that he realized that he was Guo Ziyi in history. Of course, Guo Ziyi has to get married and have children, otherwise there will be no TV series such as "Drunk and Beating the Golden Branch" that has been changed according to historical records.
Looking at Baguio's response, I felt that this was not a bad thing. I have been in the Tang Dynasty for five years and know the customs of this era. The dowry in the Tang Dynasty was expensive, and the dowry was extremely rich. He is a martial artist whose family is poor, and being able to marry the dignified Jingzhao Wang family is really a good thing for the ancestral tomb to smoke from the green smoke.
There really is no reason to refuse.
Marriage was a luxury, and Guo Li never thought about it at all. Usually, the money issued by the imperial court is used to drink and eat, and there is no surplus. A fire is only enough to eat and drink for a month, and with the current economic situation, the mention of marriage may make others laugh and lose their big teeth. The economy is the basis of marriage, and the bride price alone is a big problem that cannot be solved.
"Guo has been alone for many years and has no savings. I'm afraid it will take a few years of preparation before I can come to the door to propose. Guo Li's words mean that he did not refuse the queen's mother, but the current conditions are difficult.
The princess is not a matter of her own business, and she is noncommittal. As a princess of the dynasty, she naturally didn't have any thoughts about Guo Li, at most she just had a good impression, and thanked Guo Li for saving her life that day. Now it's a bit interesting to hear that the queen is personally pulling the line. The Wang family and Guo Li, the door is very different, and they are actually tied by the queen. As for the queen's mother's personal agreement, perhaps there is also Baguio's secret begging.
Baguio was overjoyed after hearing this, originally a heart was sent early, but now her sister is the main marriage match, as long as Guo Li does not object, then the prime minister's proposal will become a passing cloud.
Baguio, who often likes to read, has always longed for love at first sight contained in strange anecdotes, but he didn't expect it to really appear in himself. Guo Li is no longer good, compared to the third son of the Chen family, he is already one in the sky and one in the ground.
Phew, how can Chen Sangongzi have any qualifications to compare with Captain Guo. It's just a piece of stinky shit and a toad, and he still wants Miss Ben to marry him.
"As for the dowry, Guo Gongzi doesn't have to be embarrassed. The main palace will arrange it itself. Queen Wang smiled.
In fact, seeing her sister's appearance, Queen Wang already knew that her sister belonged to Guo Xiaowei. What's more, today's events, whether big or small, the name of this Captain Guo will spread all over Chang'an City in the future.
Since entering the door, Queen Wang did not mention the matter of Chen Jiayou's disobedience to the decree just now, Baguio was smart, and saluted the princess: "Baguio thanked the princess for her rescue." ”
The princess didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, and she didn't hear it.
Queen Wang smiled and said, "Second brother, you have to take good care of Baguio when you go back, I heard that she has suffered a lot outside." ”
Wang Shouyi agreed.
Of course, the queen gave the marriage, and the Wang family would not accept the Chen family's dowry. When I saw Baguio's shy face just now, I knew that Baguio fell in love with this Captain Guo who had only seen one side at first sight. It's ridiculous to think about it, the fourth lady of the Wang family, Jin Zhiyuye, in the end, rejected the son of the prime minister's family and was willing to marry a martial artist. Wang Shouyi looked at Guo Li again, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, and a tall and slender figure. looks like a mighty and decent person, but how does this background match the Wang family?
Although the Jingzhao royal family is not as good as the Taiyuan royal family, it is also a big business. Not only is the queen of the dynasty from the Wang family, but there are many children of the Wang family who are officials in the court. Unexpectedly, Chen Shuxiong, as the third son of the prime minister, looked down on the fourth sister, and actually fell in love with Guo Xiaowei, who had never met.
Fate!
It's just that when the news reaches the family, I'm afraid that the parents will strongly oppose the thunderstorm, right? Who asked you to agree to the Chen family's proposal at the beginning, now it's okay, the queen gives you marriage, how to refuse?
After everyone left the palace, Guo Li did not speak to Baguio. With the queen marrying, these things will naturally be greeted by someone. After staying in the palace for a while, Guo Li's name has spread all over the city, and women and children know it. What happened in the West Market blew through Chang'an City like an autumn wind, and the market vendors relished Chen Gongzi's famous saying.
