Gu Jia's plan
"So I'm that kind of person in your heart."
"Do you still have affection in my heart?"
"If you don't believe me, I can't help it. You just have to wait for my good news, and I promise to give you a satisfactory dowry. ”
The eldest princess of Anyang stood up and left with Xiao Boyu.
Old Man Gu watched the eldest princess of Anyang leave, with a complicated expression.
"Grandfather, why did you beat your cousin just now?" Gu Shilang ran in from outside, "You can't just hit someone. ”
Old Man Gu glanced at Gu Shilang indifferently, "What are you doing here?" ”
Gu Shilang lowered his head, "Dad said he wanted to see you, let me invite you to the main hall." ”
"He called you?"
"Hmm."
Old Man Gu snorted coldly, "He is patient, he endured it for three days, and only sent someone to invite me today." ”
"Dad, let's go to the main hall now."
Old Man Gu rejected Gu Shilang's invitation, "No need, I'm not feeling well today, I'll see your father another day." ”
Gu Shilang opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything more.
Second Master Gu walked in from outside the door and saluted Old Man Gu, "Father, are you going out?" ”
"You want to see me too?"
"Don't dare. The son heard that his grandmother asked Uncle Gu to marry Jinyu's sister, so he came to ask. ”
Old Man Gu sneered, "The people of the Gu clan are really not a big deal to see the excitement. ”
Gu Erye bowed his head and said nothing.
"You think it's ridiculous, don't you?"
"My son thinks that this family affair is not appropriate, and Fourth Uncle Gu is not worthy of marrying Jinyu's sister."
Old Man Gu snorted coldly, "Ridiculous? Do you know how bad Xiao Boyuan's reputation is? The Xiao family has been a scholarly heirloom for generations, but as a result, Xiao Boyuan is a bastard. If my Gu family marries Jin Yu to such a man, how will I see the Gu clan in the future? ”
Second Master Gu hesitated, "Grandfather, are you really going to go against your grandmother?" ”
"The old man is not against your mother, let alone against your grandmother. Jinyu is my own daughter, I raised her with hard work, I must be responsible for her family affairs, and I can't ignore her in this life. ”
"But Xiao Bo is far from suitable for Jinyu." Gu Erye was silent for a moment and then said, "He is just a gentleman. Father, don't look at the scholarly family of the Xiao family for generations, but Xiao Boyuan is a scumbag who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it. ”
Old Man Gu shook his head, "What do you know?" Xiao Boyuan is the only eldest son of the Xiao family, and he will inherit the title in the future. Your grandmother is looking forward to Xiao Boyuan getting married and having children as soon as possible, so that he can pass on the lineage. Xiao Boyuan is a good boy, I believe that he will be good to Jinyu, and he will inherit the Xiao family in the future, I believe that he will not treat Jinyu badly. ”
"Grandfather, you forgot, the reason why Xiao Boyuan is called the only seedling of the Xiao family is because of his grandfather's favor."
"Shut up! You don't need to worry about the old man's affairs. ”
Second Master Gu frowned and said, "Grandfather, you can't favor Xiao Boyuan. ”
"Who am I favoring? Xiao Boyuan is my nephew, and it is natural for me to love him. I warn you, don't try to break this idea before it's too late. If you dare to meddle in Jinyu's family affairs, I will not spare you. ”
“……”
Old Man Gu turned around and left the courtyard, leaving Second Master Gu alone in a daze.
Xiao Boyuan walked in from the outside, saw Second Master Gu's lonely back, and smiled contemptuously, "Second brother, grandfather doesn't like you." ”
Gu Erye slowly turned his head, "What are you doing?" ”
Xiao Boyuan said provocatively: "Second brother, don't blame me for not reminding you, the person that grandfather hates the most is you, if you get involved in Jinyu's sister's marriage again, grandfather is afraid that he will not allow you." ”
Second Master Gu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Xiao Boyuan dangerously, "You threaten me?" ”
"Don't dare!" Xiao Boyuan waved his hand, "I just kindly reminded the second brother." ”
"Get out." Gu Erye scolded angrily, "I don't need your pretense. ”
Xiao Boyuan looked at Second Master Gu with a smile, "Second brother, I advise you to be more restrained, otherwise you will be the one who suffers." ”
After speaking, Xiao Boyuan Shi Ran left.
Second Master Gu sat on the chair with a puzzled expression.
******
"Husband, you're back! Tell me about the concubine, what is the situation of the Gu family today? Will the old man agree to this family business? ”
Princess Qin wore a pink-purple embroidered peony cheongsam and a delicate woman's bun, looking graceful and luxurious.
King Qin sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out his hand to hold his wife's soft pancreas, "I already know what happened today." You don't have to worry, I'm free to advocate this. ”
Princess Qin frowned, "But Old Madam Gu is unwilling to withdraw from this marriage." ”
"Since I decided to let Lao Wu marry Jinyu, how could I regret the marriage halfway because she didn't agree? You, too underestimate the Gu family. Although Old Madam Gu is powerful, she is old after all, her brain is not clear, and she is not qualified to make decisions for the Gu family at all. You can rest assured, not only will I not regret this family business, but I will also promote this family business. ”
Princess Qin asked in surprise, "Does the master have a plan?" ”
King Qin nodded, "I have already found a matchmaker, and I will go to the Gu family tomorrow to propose marriage." When the time comes, you just need to stay in the palace obediently and don't go anywhere. ”
Princess Qin smiled: "The concubine obeys orders." ”
******
The next day, the matchmaker came to Gu's house and proposed to Mrs. Gu.
Old Madam Gu looked stunned, "What you said is the truth?" ”
The matchmaker nodded affirmatively, "The slave is true. ”
Old Madam Gu hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and ask my master." ”
"Hey, you can go. The slave and maid came here today to propose marriage on the orders of the master. ”
The matchmaker stood in the living room very interestingly and waited for Mrs. Gu to come back.
When Princess Qin learned of this, she immediately called King Qin over, and the two discussed how to solve the matter.
King Qin asked, "You really don't want to marry Jinyu as the main room?" ”
Old Madam Gu nodded, "I won't allow Jin Yu to continue Xiao Boyuan." ”
After contemplating for a moment, King Qin said, "The fourth child is a concubine, and it is impossible for him to marry a wife. I thought about it, the Xiao family is not short of money, and we can give them a generous dowry. In addition, Xiao Boyuan will be given a few beautiful concubines to serve him. ”
Old Madam Gu hesitated for a moment and said, "I still think it's more appropriate to let Jinyu continue Xiao Boyuan's chord." As for the rest, I can help. ”
King Qin frowned, "Are you confused?" gave Xiao Boyuan a generous enough dowry, will the Xiao family be satisfied? ”
Old Madam Gu said: "The more dowry we give, the more stable Jinyu's position will be. Jinyu is my only granddaughter, and I don't want her to be wronged. ”
King Qin patted his forehead, "The fourth child is a concubine, he is going to attack the lord in the future, do you think the Xiao family will be willing to let Jinyu continue Xiao Boyuan?" ”
"Xiao Bo is far from being a concubine, he is a concubine."
"But he can inherit the title in the future!"
"But he is the only one who will inherit the title in the future, and the other brothers are all concubines."
King Qin was silent for a long time, "The fourth child is the only one who will inherit the title in the future, is Xiao Boyuan alone, is it possible that you still expect the other three sons to share the title?" ”
"This ......," Old Madam Gu said.
"The fourth child will inherit the title in the future, how can you let him raise his head and be a man?"
Princess Qin sighed, "I've thought about these things for a long time. I just can't bear Jinyu. ”
King Qin rubbed his eyebrows, "If you can't bear it, you have to give it up." Don't worry, Xiao Boyuan is a smart person, and he will never treat Jinyu badly in the future. In addition, the dowry we gave was not low, Xiao Boyuan would not treat Jinyu badly. ”
Old Madam Gu still insisted, "I don't approve of Jinyu marrying Xiao Boyuan. ”
"Alright, alright. I know you're worried that Jinyu will be wronged, so let's do it, we won't give the bride price, and take it all out to make a bride price for the Xiao family. ”
"This, this, is this appropriate?" Old Madam Gu was shocked, King Qin actually wanted to give away all the private treasury, she didn't hear it wrong, right?
King Qin grimaced and reprimanded, "What's inappropriate? Are you disgusted with less? Okay, I'm going to get more dowry. ”
Princess Qin hurriedly grabbed King Qin and said angrily, "What are you doing!" I didn't say that. ”
King Qin's eyes widened, "I made it clear to you just now, let's not give the bride price, and take it all out to make a bride price for the Xiao family." ”
Old Madam Gu shook her head, "That's not what I meant. I just thought, let's prepare so many dowry gifts for the Xiao family, isn't it too much? ”
"Is it much? I don't think it's much at all. King Qin looked wealthy, "If you dislike the dowry too much, then follow the original rules." ”
"That's not going to work." Old Madam Gu shook her head again and again, "We are men, and we must reflect our sincerity and sincerity." I can't embarrass you. ”
"You're not angry?"
"Don't be angry." Old Madam Gu pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm not an ignorant old woman, and this thing is worth being angry about." I'm sure Jinyu will understand me. ”
King Qin breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Old Madam Gu with a smile, "I'm also worried that you will be angry, don't think about it." ”
"Don't worry, I won't think much about it. You go get busy, I want to be quiet. ”
King Qin nodded, told her to take care of her body, and then left Old Madam Gu's house.
After King Qin left, Old Madam Gu lay on the bed with her eyes closed, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Miss Gu Si came in from outside the house and was startled when she saw Old Madam Gu like this, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Who you off? ”
Old Madam Gu opened her eyes, "No one made me angry. What are you here to do? ”
Miss Gu looked at Old Madam Gu with concern, "Grandmother, I heard the maid say that my father wants to take my aunt, are you going to make room for that slut?" ”
"Nonsense!" Old Madam Gu snorted coldly, "I didn't plan to make room for anyone, you remembered it for me." ”
Miss Gu Si muttered, "Grandma, you can't do this, you have to fight for the rights of our sisters." ”
Old Madam Gu scolded: "Bastard, it's not your turn to intervene in my affairs." ”
Miss Gu Si pouted, "Grandma, you are biased, we are your own granddaughter, why can that cheap person surnamed Su be your daughter-in-law?" I'm not convinced, I'm not reconciled. ”
"How dare you defy me? You are so bold that you dare to challenge my majesty, I think you are tired of life. ”
Old Madam Gu was furious, and raised her hand to fan Gu Si Girl.
Syllable!
The slap fell, and the force was so great that it directly stunned Gu Si girl.
Miss Gu covered her cheeks and looked at Old Madam Gu with tears in her eyes, "Grandma, you actually beat me?" ”
Old Madam Gu glared at Miss Gu Si angrily, "I just want to teach you a lesson, you kneel down for me!" ”
Gu Si girl stubbornly tilted her neck, "I don't kneel." Grandma is eccentric, if you don't like our sisters, you will love that slut. ”
"Bastard, you dare to scold me?"
Gu Si girl straightened her waist, "I didn't scold you." I just feel sorry for my grandmother. Grandma was unfair to her second sister-in-law, and our sisters were unbalanced. So we can't sit idly by. ”
Old Madam Gu laughed angrily, "What do you want?" ”
Miss Gu Si said: "Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of parents, how can there be a reason for a cousin to marry a cousin and niece." ”
"So what? Your uncles and brothers all have official positions, and I can't decide your marriage. ”
"Then we'll tell Daddy and let them decide."
"Okay, then you can go. Although you complain, I want to see if my daughter-in-law is qualified and whether she can be the wife of the Xiao family. ”
Gu Si girl gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Grandma, don't bully me for being young. ”
Old Madam Gu sneered, "How can I just bully you?" You have the ability to go to your father and cry. ”
"You-"
"Get out."
Miss Gu was kicked out of Old Madam Gu's yard.
Princess Qin followed over to persuade the fourth girl.
Miss Gu Si wiped her tears, "Mother, you are not on my side either?" ”
Princess Qin said helplessly: "Your grandmother speaks, and your mother can't do it." ”
Miss Gu Si sobbed twice, "Mother, do you think grandpa will agree to take a concubine?" ”
Princess Qin hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be." After all, taking a concubine is not a trivial matter, and it needs to be carefully considered. ”
Miss Gu Si asked, "What about the conditions for taking a concubine?" I wonder how much benefit a concubine can get in the end. ”
Princess Qin said: "I don't know what the conditions for taking a concubine are. ”
Miss Gu Si frowned, "Mother, how can you help grandma." ”
Princess Qin said: "Mother is afraid that you will be impulsive and do bad things. You know your grandmother's nature, and you must not disobey her. As for the conditions for taking a concubine, I don't know about this, and I'll ask your grandfather when he returns. ”
Miss Gu Si snorted, "Grandpa will definitely not agree." ”
Princess Qin frowned slightly, "Don't talk nonsense." Your grandfather won't say yes, but he won't say no either. Your grandmother is always in charge of taking a concubine. ”
Miss Gu Si bit her lip, very dissatisfied.
Princess Qin patted Gu Si Girl's shoulder, "Don't worry. If your grandfather agrees to take a concubine, then we will find a way to stop it. ”
……
King Qin and Xiao Jin went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials to meet the emperor.
The official is the most senior minister among the heirs of the royal family, and he is also the oldest of the seniors.
Xiao Jinhuai and King Qin respectfully greeted the official book.
The official Shangshu stroked his goatee and said, "What are you here for today?" ”
Xiao Jinhuai pondered for a while, and said: "Back to my uncle, the juniors came here today to ask my uncle to assign an errand to the juniors. ”
The official raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What errand do you want? ”
"Criminal Department."
The Ministry of Officials was silent for a moment, "The Criminal Department is the head of the six departments, and it controls the punishment of the world. The middle position of the criminal department Lang is high-powered, a first-class officer, are you sure you want to go to the criminal department? ”
"Juniors are sure. Although the younger generation is not talented, he has read many historical materials and is familiar with the laws and regulations. ”
"Since you've decided, go to the Criminal Department. You go home and get ready. Three days later, the ministry selected new officials. ”
"Uncle Xie's ancestor is complete."
……
King Qin and Xiao Jinhuai left the ministry and returned to their respective homes.
After the king of Qin returned to his home, he immediately convened his staff to discuss the matter of taking concubines.
The palace of King Qin is very lively.
Mrs. Gu sat in the hall, and after listening to the accusation of the fourth girl Gu adding fuel and vinegar and reversing black and white, she only felt tinnitus.
"Confused! It's ridiculous. Old Madam Gu was furious, "The fourth child is really dizzy this time. How could he do the thing of a concubine? ”
Gu Si said aggrievedly: "Grandma, grandpa is confused by beauty, and he will make mistakes when he is confused by ghosts. ”
"Shut up!" Old Madam Gu glared at Miss Gu Si angrily, "If you have your third sister who is even a little smart, you can be blinded when the old man dies." ”
Gu Si Girl's eyes were red, and she said indignantly: "I can't compare to Gu Shan." Grandma is partial to Gu Shan, and now she doesn't even let me go. ”
"Am I partial to Gu Shan? Haha, your mouth is getting stronger and stronger, you can try to see if it's your fists that are hard or the old woman's crutches are hard. ”
Old Madam Gu blocked Miss Gu's mouth with a word.
Gu Si stomped her feet, "Grandma! ”
