v5 Chapter 38: Marriage intention, Yang Qiongs blow

"Actually, your father just hates iron and not steel. Yang Qiong is your uncle's sister after all. She doesn't look at the monk's face and looks at the Buddha's face, no matter what, as long as Yang Qiong is not outrageous , this title is definitely still a big house, as the saying goes, a virtuous wife and a husband rarely suffer, if Yang Qiong can't stand up, the only trouble is your uncle and a few children."

Gu Shuixiu always looked very transparent, otherwise she would not have said such a thing to Yang Qiong before.

Dong Qinyan knew the urgency of this matter, and she had an idea with Gu Shuixiu, so naturally she would not say anything more.

The Gu family returned to the mansion given by Dong Chenghu, and the imperial decree arrived.

Gu Mingde led his family to kneel in the main room to receive the decree, but he speculated in his heart what the decree said.

It was Dong Chenghu’s confidant, Eunuch Zhao, who read the imperial edict. Eunuch Zhao also knew that Gu Mingde was the ruler of the state, and the empress was so favored. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect, and said politely: “Fengtian takes care of it. , The emperor's edict said that Gu's family has a daughter, Gu Huijun, who is dignified and virtuous, and has a good demeanor. I will marry Zhang Junchi, my adopted son, and I will choose a day to get married.

"I thank you Lord Longen!" After Gu Mingde thanked his family, he accepted the imperial decree with trembling hands, and was full of joy. He knew Zhang Junchi, and he was a disciple of Shen Shikang. Yes, he is very optimistic about him, and now Dong Chenghu has ordered a marriage, which is simply a gift to his heart.

Gu Mingde happily invited Eunuch Zhao and others into the house for tea, and Gu Huijun ordered someone to give Eunuch Zhao some money.

Eunuch Zhao smiled even more sincerely, and after rejecting it, he sat down and said respectfully: "Congratulations to Yong Anbo, the servants only now know that the emperor is such a adopted son. , Now I am engaged to the eldest lady of your mansion, but they are the right match and they are very worthy!"

"Yes yes yes, Eunuch Zhao is right! Jun Chi's child is also the one I grew up with, he is wise and witty, he can do anything, and he also looks like a talented person, very similar to us Huijun. It's a good match!" Gu Daniu also responded with a smile on the side.

Only Yang Qiong kept her eyes down, her hands were cold, and she was a little helpless, but she didn't speak, and no one noticed her strangeness.

When Gu Huijun was tidying up the outside, he nodded to Eunuch Zhao after entering the door, and then stood behind Yang Qiong, and every move could reflect a decent upbringing, Eunuch Zhao couldn't stop watching Nod in admiration.

Gu Huijun noticed her strangeness and asked with concern: "Mother, what's wrong with you? But you're not feeling well?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yang Qiong.

Yang Qiong shook her head with a pale face, and said weakly: "I'm fine, just take a rest."

"Old everyone, are you dissatisfied with Huijun's marriage?" Zhao knew more than Gu Mingde and others. After that, Gu Shuixiu told her about Gu Huijun and Zhang Junchi's marriage, but she felt that The child's mother is here, she shouldn't make her own decisions, so she pushed this matter to Yang Qiong. She thought that Yang Qiong would respond happily, but she didn't say anything after that. Now, seeing Yang Qiong's reaction, Zhao Shi will inevitably not think of it. This is above.

Yang Qiong was caught in the heart of Zhao, and her face was a little paler.

Zhao's face also sank, looked at Gu Erniu's family, and said to them in a good voice: "Erniu, take your wife and children back to rest first. Mom and your dad and the others will talk a little longer."

Gu Erniu knew that this marriage was for the big house and had nothing to do with their family, and the problem now was the sister-in-law. The family left the hall.

Without the Gu Erniu family, the Zhao family immediately became furious, "Are you dissatisfied with this marriage? The Zhang family used to be a famous family. The family still only accepts mud legs, and the worthy ones are not worthy. Now that the emperor has finally bestowed the marriage, what do you think?"

Gu Daniu also looked puzzled, but his reaction was not as intense as Zhao's, "Are you dissatisfied with that child in Junchi? You say it, if it is really bad for the child, It's a big deal for us to go to the Empress and ask for mercy."

Gu Daniu is still very protective of Yang Qiong. Over the years, Yang Qiong has taken care of the family's store and children. He has been unable to take care of it because of the yamen's many things. The child can be like this Excellent, Gu Daniu always thought it was Yang Qiong's credit.

Yang Qiong faced everyone with dissatisfaction, questioning, or caring eyes, her mouth was bitter, she murmured for a while, but she couldn't say anything, she could only whisper weakly : "I just feel that Linhai County is too far away, and I can't bear for my daughter to go so far."

Gu Daniu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said with relief: "I thought it was something! Our family is not the same as before. It's impossible to come back to see us every now and then, and besides, what would you do if you marry an outsourced official and go to a farther place?"

Yang Qiong was silenced by Gu Daniu, but Mrs. Zhao knew that this was not the main reason, and said solemnly: "Our family first arrived in Jiankang, and we didn't understand anything. It's a matter of etiquette. I will go to the Empress and ask for an order to send a nanny to the eldest daughter-in-law, and I will often follow the eldest’s side to provide some education in the future.”

Gu Daniu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how his mother got involved in this matter, but he knew Yang Qiong's temperament, and he was a little reluctant to bear her to suffer like this, and Yang Qiong's face was completely Bai Bai, forcing her like this, Gu Daniu couldn't bear it.

It's just that he hasn't spoken yet, Gu Mingde has already spoken, "Your mother did a good job, Daniel, you will inherit the position of Yong Anbo in the future, if the eldest daughter-in-law can't support this family , your position is not stable, even those children in Donglin will be affected, for your future, this matter is settled."

Gu Daniu didn't know how to say please for Yang Qiong. Although Gu Huijun felt sorry for her own mother, she thought that she was going to marry, so she was cruel and silent. Not a word was said.

Yang Qiong didn't know how she got back to the room. As soon as she entered the room, she lay on the table and cried.

Gu Daniu was taken aback, Yang Qiong was always strong and heartless, and now he is crying like this, but he has never seen it before.

Gu Daniu hurriedly reassured himself, "Today my parents are really serious, but they are also for our own good, no matter what, you have to support our family for the sake of the children, Let outsiders see what our family is capable of?"
