April.

Gu Qinghuan looked at the blue sky without a trace of clouds, and he was in a good mood.

Today is a day of rest, and Amma and her brother don't have to do anything. After Gu Qinghuan got up early in the morning, when he went to Eniang's place for dinner, he saw Amma, who was also in a good mood.

"Sister Qinghuan, Sister Qinghuan!"

As soon as breakfast was over, Ah Shuang hurried over.

Gu Qinghuan saw her showing a rare eagerness, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"In the palace... Someone has come to the palace. Ah Shuang breathed down and said, "I look, it looks like the one next to the emperor... That Grandpa Li! ”

Gu Qing stood up jubilantly.

"Quick, go and talk to Ama Eniang and my brother, and hurry up to get the order."

Rao is Gu Qinghuan had already expected it in his heart, and he still couldn't help but have a little buzzing in his head at this moment. After saying that, he went to the courtyard.

Gu Zheng, Gu Qingxu, and Zhang, who heard the news, also came out of their own yards and came to the front yard.

Li Dequan just stood there, and the maids, women, and servants up and down in the Gu Mansion were all over the place, waiting for the masters to come out.

"Sister, what's going on?"

Gu Qingxu was a little stunned, and as soon as he opened his mouth to ask, he was glared at by Gu Zheng fiercely, signaling him to quickly kneel down to receive the order.

Everyone knelt down one after another, and Li Dequan read out the holy decree.

The holy decree is very long, and it is something that Gu Qinghuan can't understand. But the overall meaning is... praised Gu Zheng for his contributions to the imperial court over the years.

and how virtuous Gu Qinghuan is, and finally mentioned the news about the Gu family's raising of the flag, as well as the marriage of Gu Qinghuan, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor.

"Miss Gu, Master Gu, take the order."

After Li Dequan finished speaking with a smile, Gu Qinghuan immediately stepped forward to accept the order. However, Gu Zheng was stunned, half a beat slower than Gu Qinghuan.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live—"

After everyone knelt down and thanked him, Li Dequan said again: "The emperor's reward has been brought over by our family, and we will bring it over later." ”

"I guess that after a while, the things of the ladies in the palace will be sent one after another. Later, there will be a grandmother in the palace who will come over to teach Miss Gu etiquette. ”

"We still have something to do here, so we won't stay longer."

When Gu Qinghuan heard this, he hurriedly asked Ah Shuang to hand the purse that had been prepared a long time ago to Li Dequan.

Li Dequan accepted it with a smile, looked at Gu Qinghuan who personally sent him out, and said with a smile: "When I came back, the slave said that the girl was blessed, and it was true." ”

"Girl, don't send it to each other again. When we see you next time, the girl will be the master of the slave. ”

"My father-in-law is polite." Gu Qinghuan smiled, and sent Li Dequan to the door again.

When he returned to the house again, everyone in the Gu Mansion was boiling. In fact, the Gu family was also a family of scholars as early as the previous dynasty.

In his early years, he also saw big officials, and he also had a very prominent time. Of course, it's only a little declining now, but the roots are still there.

The Han people, who were originally ordinary, have now been able to carry the flag all of a sudden, and have changed from the Gu family to the Gu Jia family. It was also carried into the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was a white flag.

Although the Zhengbai flag is only the next five flags, it was actually glorious in the early years. But in any case, the lintel of the Gu family today is very different from before.

While praising Gu Zheng, Kangxi also gave Gu Zheng a new errand. That was to compile some of the classics on foreign countries in the Ministry of Rites, and to draft the training of foreign language talents.

"Qinghuan." Gu Zheng was the first to calm down at this time, looked at Gu Qinghuan seriously, and asked, "This matter... Actually, don't you already know about it? ”

Gu Zheng is not a fool.

After he returned to Beijing from the Oros negotiations, he noticed the difference in his situation. The prince's intention to woo him was obvious, and he deliberately mentioned the matter of letting Gu Qinghuan review his home from the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion.

And the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, although he has not shown any obvious attitude.

But actually... Gu Zheng can still feel it. At least when he met with the fourth elder brother in the Ministry of Rites, the kind of politeness that the fourth elder brother was kind to himself was beyond the normal range.

"I..." Gu Qinghuan just wanted to answer, but the words were snatched up by Gu Qingxu at once.

"Amma, this is the matter... Actually, that's what it is! ”

Gu Qingxu hurriedly said: "My sister is so good, isn't it normal that the fourth elder brother will like it?" I told the emperor about this idea behind my back, and then..."

"Don't mess up!"

Gu Zheng slapped his son away at once, and then asked Gu Qinghuan, "What is it like?" ”

He's actually worried.

Marriage with the royal family, it looks like it is beautiful. But who they are, he still knows in his heart. Marrying into the royal family, no matter how you say it, it is a high climb.

Now that he has to raise the flag again, he is on the cusp. None of that's what worries him the most, though. What he was most worried about was what Gu Qinghuan should do in the future.

The royal family is a tiger and wolf den, Gu Zheng originally just wanted to wait for himself to come out and find a good match for his daughter, the kind that can be a couple for a lifetime.

Moreover, after those previous events, Kangxi Ye also intended to give marriage, and Gu Qinghuan's future marriage will also have an additional layer of protection.

Besides, with his support at home, he is not afraid that Gu Qinghuan will have a bad life. If the son-in-law is not good, it will be separated in the future. He wants to raise his daughter for the rest of his life, and he will do it.

But it is obvious that the idea of marrying into the royal family and being a daughter-in-law of the royal family cannot be realized. Marriage, or with the emperor's brother... I don't know if my daughter wants to.

If it's a protest... What should the family do?

"Amma, don't worry." Gu Qinghuan probably knew a little bit of Gu Zheng's concerns, and after thinking about it, he briefly said some things between himself and Yinzhen.

Probably, that is, they are indeed happy with each other, and Yinzhen has always considered her feelings. Even when Kangxi gave two concubines to come over before, they had hardly even seen each other.

This marriage was naturally only mentioned to Concubine Tong with Gu Qinghuan's consent. There is a lot of trust and respect between them, which is completely different from those on the side.

Gu Zheng was very emotional after listening to it.

"Amma has thought a lot about it, just hoping to find such a good match for you. It's just that I never thought that the fourth elder brother would be the prince. It can be done to this extent. ”

Gu Zheng patted Gu Qinghuan's shoulder, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "In the days to come, you have to live well." Amma... Will do their best to call the shots for you. ”
