Chapter 368: Back to the Door
However, thinking about the possibility of Xie Shurou marrying into the Anguo Mansion, Gu Yilan couldn't help but shake her head, Xie Xiang's family had such high expectations for Xie Shurou, it was strange that they were willing to let her marry in. Thinking of this, Gu Yilan somehow, Gu Yilan suddenly felt some sympathy for Xie Shurou, she knew that the girl really didn't like King Yi, but Xie Shurou was probably not as lucky as her.
is either King Yi or King Xin, in Gu Yilan's opinion, Xie Xiang's family is determined to let Xie Shurou be the princess.
"Don't think about it," Gu Yilan finally sighed and replied, "The thoughts of Xie Xiang and his wife are known to everyone in Beijing. ”
"So I'm just joking," Mu Zhengyi replied, "This Miss Xie Si is also a poor person, Hongshang has told me a few times, she is a little afraid of King Yi, and she is not willing to marry into the palace as the elders in the family wish." ”
"Maybe in the future, I won't marry to King Yi's Mansion, but to marry King Xin's Mansion," Gu Yilan shook her head, and sighed with some emotion: "It's all up to Xie Xiang's decision, where does she have the right to choose." ”
Mu Zhengyi seemed to suddenly remember something, and was stunned for a moment before laughing: "If that's the case, it's also luck." Hongshang has always had a good impression of King Xin, and that little girl actually has a good set of people. ”
"The little sister has a clear mind, and she is careful and intelligent, and she has some ability to know the subtleties, so she is naturally accurate in looking at people," Gu Yilan replied: "But I didn't know that she actually spoke highly of King Xin." ”
"yes!" Mu Zhengyi shook his head with a smile: "What do you guess Hongshang said?" She said that King Shin was a good man. It sounds ridiculous, but I trust my sister's judgment. ”
Gu Yilan turned her head and looked at Mu Zhengyi with a serious expression, and suddenly said, "Little sister's intuition has always been good, and I believe it too." ”
"Lan'er?" Mu Zhengyi's expression suddenly became serious: "This is not child's play. ”
"Of course I knew it wasn't child's play." Gu Yilan stretched out her hand and held Mu Zhengyi's hand: "But husband, I know my grandfather, he ...... In fact, it's not as high and breezy as others say. Lin Xiang's body can't hold it anymore and wants to say goodbye, I know, my grandfather naturally knows it. ”
"It is human nature to be in the famous field of Lilu, and it is human nature to have the heart to win," Mu Zhengyi replied: "Whether your grandfather is for the position of the first assistant or for the Gu family, it is his own choice, and we can't interfere and can't interfere." Lan'er, you are the daughter-in-law of the Mu family, and the Mu family is not involved in party disputes, you know it. ”
"I know." Gu Yilan replied categorically: "That's why I'm worried." Husband, I know that in terms of identity, I am not suitable to marry into the Mu family, and hiring me, the daughter of the Gu family, will cause a lot of trouble for our family. The Mu family is not involved in party disputes, but the powerful ministers of the DPRK and China will do everything possible to pull our General Mu into the game, and my grandfather is actually the same. So I'm scared of ......."
Without Gu Yilan to point out her words, Mu Zhengyi understood what she wanted to say. Mu Zhengyi stretched out his hand and stroked his wife's peach-like cheeks, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, no matter what happens to the Gu family, it won't drag down our family, no." You also underestimate our General Mu, my uncle has been dealing with them in the court for more than ten years, isn't this a big deal? Your identity is not a trouble for our family, and the eldest aunt is still a clan daughter. ”
"You are just comforting me," Gu Yilan sighed and grabbed her husband's hand: "After all, Prince Li is an idle prince, and for our family, the in-laws of Prince Li's Mansion are really much better than the Gu family." But don't worry, I understand my position, I am your wife, I am the Mu family, I know what to do and what not to do. ”
"I naturally believe in you," Mu Zhengyi smiled: "Therefore, you have to learn to trust me and believe that I can handle everything well." ”
"Then try it," Gu Yilan also smiled: "At this level today, you will not have a good time." My grandfather and grandmother are afraid that you will accompany me back to the door. ”
Whether or not it implies that the topic of Gu Daxue standing in line with the king is a temporary end for Mu Zhengyi. Gu Yilan was successfully persuaded by her husband, and she planned to wait and see for a while and not get involved in the Gu family's affairs.
In fact, if possible, Gu Yilan even wanted to persuade Gu Daxue not to participate in the battle between the first assistant, but she knew that it was impossible, even if her grandfather was willing to agree, the situation would not allow the Gu family to be left alone. Besides, it was too late to stop her grandfather now, and she learned from Mu Zhengyi's eloquence that her grandfather had cooperated with Xie Xiang once before and successfully sent one of his students to the military department as the director.
And now Gu Yilan's biggest worry is not this, but her father who is about to return to Beijing. Gu Yilan is sure that this time her father will return to Beijing, he will definitely join the Sixth Department to work, but she doesn't know where her grandfather will find a suitable vacancy for her father.
Just after breakfast, Chunhui beside Duchess An Guo came over to spread the word, saying that the carriage and horse gifts for returning to the door had been ready to stop, so Mu Zhengyi and his wife went to Mrs. Mu's house side by side, and after greeting her, they took the carriage to Gu's house.
Mu Zhengyi deliberately did not ride a horse, but accompanied his wife in the car, and along the way, Gu Yilan seemed a little silent.
It's not far to go to Gu's house, it's only a quarter of an hour away by carriage, so it's not too fast. The carriage stopped at the door of Gu's house, and when Mu Zhengyi was about to get off first, Gu Yilan suddenly grabbed his hand and asked, "Husband, if my father joins the military department or household department after returning to Beijing......
Without finishing the words, Mu Zhengyi understood what his wife meant. He knew that Gu Yilan was afraid that if Gu Sanye joined the military department or the household department in the future, he might rely on his identity as his father-in-law to ask Mu Zhengyi to compromise on some things in the future.
"You, it must be that little girl in the red dress who broke you," Mu Zhengyi smiled: "Why are you like her these days, worrying about it blindly." It is not too late to worry about these things when Lord Yuezhang comes back from Ningling. ”
Did Gu Yilan worry too early? Not at all, in fact. This point was understood not long after she returned to the Gu family. The Gu family's reception of the newlyweds was of course very warm, and after the luncheon, Mrs. Gu took her back to her courtyard under the pretext of wanting to talk to Gu Yilan, while Mu Zhengyi was left alone in the flower hall.
Mu Zhengyi has to deal with Scholar Gu alone, this level is naturally not easy, but Gu Yilan in the back house is actually not too easy, Mrs. Gu is okay here, just like usual, like a grandmother who is not at ease with her granddaughter, what makes her unaccustomed is Grandma Gu San, who deliberately shows her a strong mother-daughter affection for her.
In fact, Gu San's grandmother has always loved Gu Yilan, but she is in Ningling, and she has rarely seen her daughter, in the past many years, every time the mother and daughter have the opportunity to meet, Gu San's grandmother will also seize the opportunity to show her mother's love, but no time is it as exaggerated as today, that deliberate intimacy has made Gu Yilan a little uncomfortable.
