Mrs. Qi smiled, "When I first met the queen mother, I still followed my mother-in-law, and I was not as good as you at that time." ”

"You said something, I just said thank you to the queen at that time, and I didn't say anything else."

Mrs. Qi San, hearing her sister-in-law's praise, was happy and relieved.

"Sister-in-law, you said that we have to go to the palace to ask for a few times before this marriage can be decided?"

Mrs. Qi thought about it and pondered it carefully for a moment.

"Usually people have to go two or three times, and the woman always has to be reserved before she can respond."

"This royal princess has a noble status, and the golden branches and jade leaves, coupled with the previous rumors, said that Lord Gu rejected the emperor's proposal to give marriage."

"In my opinion, the queen and the concubine will definitely be more reserved. Let's be mentally prepared and go a few more times. ”

Mrs. Qi San nodded, "That's what sister-in-law said." ”

The two of them thought about their own thoughts, and went home.

Here, the two concubines of the Qi family just entered the palace to propose, and the next day, everyone in the capital knew that the Gu family asked to marry the ninth princess.

Whether it is the nobles of the upper class or the ordinary people of the lower class, everyone in the capital knows it.

After hearing about it from the servant, Mrs. Qi was very surprised, and thought that the Qi family had leaked the news.

According to the convention, there is little fanfare when proposing, and when it is almost settled, the news will leak out.

Mrs. Qi was quite anxious and came to see Mrs. Qi.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up and find out who leaked the news, if this is blamed by the queen, we can't afford it."

In fact, Mrs. Qi also learned from the servant just now that everyone in the capital now knows that the Gu family is asking to marry the ninth princess.

I was a little panicked at first, but after careful investigation, no one around me leaked the news.

After some thought, Mrs. Qi gradually understood.

At this time, he heard the inquiry of the third brother and sister, and replied with a chuckle.

"Third brother and sister, don't worry, this matter didn't leak out from our side!"

"Huh?" Mrs. Qi San was slightly stunned, "It's not from our side, where is that?" ”

Madam Qi implicitly pointed in the direction of the palace and smiled slightly.

"There were all kinds of rumors about the Ninth Princess before, and there were different opinions."

"Although those rumors are not true, they also have an impact on the Ninth Princess."

"This time the Gu family courted relatives, proving that the Gu family is rare and the ninth princess."

"In this way, those words that criticize the Ninth Princess will also disappear with the Gu family's proposal."

"This news has spread to so many people, the more I think the marriage between Master Gu and the Ninth Princess will be successful."

After Mrs. Qi heard her sister-in-law's explanation, she suddenly realized.

The second time, Mrs. Qi chose an auspicious day to hand over the sign, and the queen chose a good day to let them enter the palace.

After talking for a while, I want to take them to greet Concubine Li.

Sure enough, as Mrs. Qi guessed, Concubine Li was quite reserved and did not respond on the spot.

At the same time, Mrs. Gu ignored the obstruction of her grandson Gu Shao, and wanted to come to the capital without hesitation.

Gu Shao couldn't leave because of work, so Gu Jin temporarily put aside his family affairs and accompanied Mrs. Gu to the capital.

Seeing that he was about to arrive in the capital, Gu Jin was also quite curious.

"Great-uncle and grandmother, are you tired? If we're tired, let's rest. ”

Old Madam Gu waved her hand, her face was radiant, and she was not tired from the journey at all.

"I'm not tired, keep going. Aim to get into town before it gets dark and get home and get some rest. ”

Gu Jin couldn't help but laugh when he heard his great-uncle's grandmother's angry voice.

"The third uncle's family affairs have been settled, and your old man's spirit is much better than before."

Old Madam Gu nodded again and again, both on her face and in her eyes.

"Of course, start a family! Your third uncle has now established a business, and it is even more imminent to start a family. ”

"If it's an ordinary eunuch, I can even if I don't come to the capital this time. But that is the ninth princess, and your third uncle has refused His Majesty's marriage before. ”

"For the sake of reason, our Gu family has to be more respectful. Your third uncle can't leave, so we have to come over. ”

"Anyway, since ancient times, marriage has been the order of parents, the words of matchmakers. With me, as an elder, you don't need your third uncle to come forward. ”

"Qilang, your third uncle is much older than you, so I will settle his family affairs first and give him a marriage."

"As for your family affairs, we have already apologized to Mrs. Drey and General Li, and I also asked you to send a generous gift to your future mother-in-law in Jixiang Village, Jixiang Town."

"Your mother-in-law, Liu, also knows the ins and outs of that matter and will not blame you, so you can rest assured that there will be no mistakes in your marriage."

Gu Jin's face flushed slightly when he heard this.

"Thank you great-uncle and grandmother, it's better to come with the third uncle first, I'm not in a hurry here."

"This time, I not only helped the third uncle make a great contribution, but also got 110,000 taels of silver."

"With these, my family's thin family foundation is instantly rich, and this is all due to the kindness of the third uncle and General Li."

Old Madam Gu likes Gu Jin's knowledge of advance and retreat, and she is grateful.

Seeing that Gu Jin was a little shy, he deliberately teased him.

"You give all that silver to Ali, you don't have any extra silver in your hands! I usually use the little moon silver I gave you, is it enough? Rest assured? ”

Gu Jin scratched his head, and his face turned even redder.

"During this time, I didn't go to the academy to study, and I didn't have to spend money to eat and live at home. The silver is on Ali's side, and I can rest assured. ”

"My great-uncle and grandmother also said that I am still studying, so how can I have time to be distracted to manage family affairs, and I will need to be handled by Miss Ali in the future."

"Since I chose her, then I believe her. What's more, there are future mother-in-law and Mrs. Dre in the back, and I believe in them. ”

Old Madam Gu was very relieved when she heard this.

"Qilang, this is what a worry-free thing it is to find a reliable Yue family. In the future, you will have to learn, and in the future, you will have to kiss your son and daughter, but you have to keep your eyes open. ”

Gu Jin smiled, "Well, I'll study hard." No wonder the ancients said that everything in the world is knowledgeable, and it is not false at all. It's not just women who want good family affairs, but men too. ”

"The wife is not virtuous, and the husband is in trouble. On the contrary, the wife is virtuous, and the husband is less troubled. ”

The person who can deceive the Japanese people, Gu Jin can't be a stupid person.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, the people who originally hated Gu Jin were all relieved of their suspicions against Gu Jin at this time.

Old Madam Gu thought so deeply and was even more pleased.

"Qilang, you are a good one, you must be a good husband, a good father, and a good official in the future."

Gu Jin was a little embarrassed to be praised and sighed with emotion.

"In fact, all of this was taught well by my great-uncle and grandmother and third uncle, and my father and mother died, leaving behind a meager family foundation, and I was still eyed by my close relatives."

"They just want to occupy my family's house and shop, and they don't want to take care of me at all, or the great-great-grandfather and the third uncle are kind-hearted and take more care of me, so that Shichiro can grow up safely."

"Although it is sad that my parents have died, I can't change the death of people. My great-grandmother and third uncle took good care of me, so that Shichiro felt that there was still goodness in the world, provided me with education, and nurtured me to become a talent. ”
