As soon as Zhou Xin said this, Su Clan was struck by lightning and stunned.
Zhou Xin continued to say to the Su family with a smile: "After we return to the palace, I will tell the emperor that the emperor is kind and will not let his wife's efforts in vain." He looked very considerate.
Su's face was as pale as paper, and his voice trembled uncontrollably. He quickly said, "Duke Zhou, you have misunderstood..."
But Zhou Xin ignored her, and after saying goodbye to Qin Jiu brothers and sisters, he took a group of angels back to the palace.
Su's forehead buzzed, and the whole person was dumbfounded.
Mother Cheng pulled her son quietly, and said in a low voice: "Shiang, what the father-in-law just said was marrying Madam Hou's biological daughter to you?"
Cheng Shiang nodded reservedly.
That feeling is good! Mother Cheng’s eyes lit up, and Madam Hou’s pro-daughter must be better than the wild girl who was raised outside for her son. In the future, the Hou Mansion will definitely give more dowries!
Cheng Shiang felt good too, with a strange light shining in his eyes. Speaking of, the niece and the relatives are always separated by a layer, and the son-in-law of Hou Ye must get more help than the niece.
"My family," Cheng Mu warmly called to the Su family, "Who is Lingmei?"
Only then did Su Clan come back to his senses, and he didn't even want to object: "No, I don't agree!"
Her voice was high and high, with a hysterical excitement.
Mrs. Qin frowned, still a little unsure.
It is a good thing for Qin Jiu to get the gift of marriage. The third son of the king is noble. I heard that this winter hunt is still brilliant. I want to be an outstanding character. This is indeed a good marriage.
Mrs. Qin Tai was originally worried that Qin Jiu had a temperament and grew up in the private sector. In the future, this girl's marriage will be very difficult, and those who are right in the right family are afraid that they will not want to marry her.
Fortunately, Qin Jiu had a queen-aunt who pointed out such a good marriage to her. If she had known this, she didn't need to mix it up.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Qin Tai glanced at Cheng Shiang.
Just now Grandpa Zhou said that this Cheng Juren was carefully selected by the Su clan. Although I felt that the Cheng family was a bit too arrogant and noble, the Su clan had just said that the Cheng family was good, and it was mostly really good. I missed it. It is also a pity.
Hey.
Although Sister Sheng is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, Sister Xin above her is a concubine for the second prince, so that her marriage is not easy or difficult than Sister Jiu.
In that case, it's good that Sister Sheng's marriage be settled earlier.
Maybe, this marriage can fall to Sister Sheng, it is God's will!
"The second daughter-in-law," Mrs. Qin persuaded Mrs. Qin to think that she had thought about it, "Duke Zhou said that if this is the case, let's settle the matter."
"No! Absolutely not!" Su Clan shrieked in horror.
Mrs. Qin asked with a puzzled face: "Why, didn't you just say that the Cheng family is okay?"
Obviously, the Su clan just now praised Cheng Juren fiercely, saying that Cheng Ju is talented and will be able to be in high school in the future.
Su clan moved his lips and said grimly: "Mother, Sister Sheng is Hou Ye's prostitute!" Su clan was in a mess, and could not think of a countermeasure.
Mrs. Qin frowned again and said embarrassedly: "But Duke Zhou said that just now."
Su: "..."
This eunuch! It's nosy! !
"Hahahaha." Qin Zening laughed unscrupulously, folded his arms around his chest, and said leisurely, "Second aunt, thank you so much for bothering to give my sister Zhang Luo a marriage. My sister can't accept this marriage. It's not bad for the fourth sister. The nephew believes that the second aunt has a good vision."
Although Qin Zening’s understanding of Gu Zezhi is limited to his excellent continuity of arrows, but when he thinks about it with his toes, Gu Zezhi must be more inexplicable than the second aunt who doesn’t know which horn he has dug out. Much better, at least the queen and aunt must be satisfied with Gu Zezhi, so she asked the emperor to point him to his sister.
Qin Zening felt as if he had opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and felt extremely happy.
"In that case, our brothers and sisters won't bother the second uncle and the second aunt to say kisses to the fourth sister." He arched his hands casually, and then greeted the younger brother and sister, "Ayu, Xiao Jiu, let's go."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zeyu withdrew from watching the excitement, and asked enthusiastically: "Big Brother, is Gu San Gongzi really my brother-in-law?"
Qin Zening felt that his younger brother was a little short-sighted, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "...Yes."
Qin Zeyu was so happy that he almost didn't cheer, and said heartlessly: "Then if my sister hits me again next time, I'll go to San Young Master Gu!"
The third sister is so violent, there are people who want it! Qin Zeyu silently gave Gu Zezhi tears of sympathy in his heart, and hoped that the third sister would continue to encourage him to coax Master Gu, and don't scare people away...I also hope that the eyes of Master Gu will continue to blur!
Qin Zeyu went to see his sister as he said, only to find that Qin Jiao was traveling outside the sky, and ignored her at all.
Qin Zeyu raised his hand and shook in front of her eyes, and said casually: "Brother, my third sister is not stupid, right?" Happy stupid?
After returning to his senses, Qin Jiu glanced at Qin Zeyu slowly, and he almost jumped up in shock.
"Sister, elder sister, what you have is imperial decree, you can't hit people!" Qin Zeyu stammered reminded.
Qin Jiao: "..." This bear kid destroyed all the atmosphere. Now, Qin Jiao finally recovered from the sudden marriage.
She looked at the imperial decree with the colorful skylark pattern on her hand. This is an imperial decree, shouldn't it be discarded?
So, this marriage can't be changed?
Qin Zening was afraid that the bear child would make his sister messy again, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Jiu, let's enshrine the imperial edict to the ancestral hall. After a few days, we will go to Huangjue Temple and talk to my parents and let them kiss me. You can rest assured if the sky is spiritual."
Qin Jiu: "...good."
The three brothers and sisters talked and left, only to hear a sharp shout from behind: "I won't marry!"
Qin Zening glanced back, let out a mocking sneer, and continued walking with his younger siblings.
Qin Sheng's face was ugly, he was going crazy, and his voice became sharper and sharper: "I will not marry, I will never marry!"
It's okay if she doesn't speak. Cheng Shiang immediately knew who she was when she spoke and looked at her.
Qin Sheng wore a rose red hibiscus pattern today. The small and white melon seed face was exquisite like jade, bright eyes and white teeth, full of muscles and bones, as clear and beautiful as hibiscus out of water.
After looking up and down, Cheng Juren slightly chinked his head with satisfaction.
This girl Qin Si thought to be his fiancée. Although she was younger and her stature had not yet grown, she looked really good, pure and coquettish, and could be compared to the peony in the Tianxian Building. The two maids beside this girl Qin Si look good, extremely beautiful.
I heard that the personal maids of this big family girl are all the rooms of the future uncle!
Cheng Shiang thought that his heart was fiery, and smiled at Qin Sheng, consciously suave.
Qin Sheng only felt that the other person's eyes were looking at him, he was bored and annoyed, and disgusting.
When Su's family chose Qin Jiu's "marriage", he did not avoid Qin Sheng. Originally, Su's family picked another one, but Qin Sheng thought Cheng Shiang was better.
Qin Jiu is also a bad guy like Cheng Shiang!
Qin Sheng clenched the veil in his hand tightly, the dark tide in his eyes was surging, and the light and dark flashed incessantly.
Qin Xin was demoted to the second prince’s concubine because of Qin Jiu’s return. However, Qin Xin is now remembered under the name of his mother Su, which means he has a concubine’s concubine. So, what about her marriage? ? !
Since she has a hard time, she also wants to make Qin Jiao hard!
But why, why does the person who marries Cheng Shiang become himself?
Qin Sheng said stiffly: "I won't marry!!"
Mrs. Qin eloquently persuaded: "Sister Sheng, don't be fooling around. This Cheng Juren was carefully selected by your mother, so she is outstanding and won't wrong you."
Qin Sheng: "..."
Qin Sheng couldn't take much care of it anymore. If he was silent at this time, he would just acquiesce in this marriage!
Qin Sheng made no secret of his disgust, and pointed at Cheng Shiang and said, "Grandma, this is a greedy, lustful, self-proclaimed gentle scum! You let me marry?! Are you my real grandmother?"
"Sister Sheng," Mrs. Qin said soothingly, "your mother said, she has taken a good look, and she can't be wrong. Don't let her temper."
Qin Sheng was angry and anxious, and she couldn't say something straight.
She turned blue and stomped her feet so hard that she couldn't make any sense with her grandmother.
"Mother!" Qin Sheng looked at Su clan with tears in his eyes, and saw that Su clan's heart and liver were aching.
"Master Hou." The Su clan settled and said, "Otherwise, marry the five girls."
Qin Wan, the fifth girl in the Hou Mansion, is Qin Zhun's concubine. If you really want to talk about it, Qin Zhun's concubines are also Su's daughters.
"Master Hou, when Sister Sheng was a child, you always held it." Su's eyes were also red, with a layer of tears.
Of course Qin Zhun was not willing to Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng is her eldest daughter, love is like a treasure, how can he promise such a downright and arrogant but not really talented person!
However, Zhou Xin had said so, and he would definitely report to the Emperor Ming after he returned to the palace.
If their Hou Mansion secretly changed people, wouldn't they be deceiving the emperor? !
Su Clan hurriedly said: "The concubine can put the five girls under her name..." Anyway, Zhou Xin didn't specify which one he was going to marry Cheng Shiang!
"Too much deception!" Cheng Shiang was also annoyed, with blue veins jumping wildly on his forehead, and he couldn't help but scold.
Just now, he was scolded by Qin Sheng pointing his nose, and the scolding made him so angry. Now he is watching Qin Zhun and Su clash with him, picking three and four, as if slapped his face. Time after time.
Cheng Shiang was about to walk away, planning to go back and wait for the Hou Mansion to beg him, but when he took a step, Cheng Mu quietly pulled his sleeves, and then scolded Su clan with a straight face: "My husband, you Is this because I want to regret my failure?"
Su Clan smiled reluctantly, lowered his posture and said: "Mrs. Cheng family, you see that my five girls are also the best. If you want, our Hou Mansion can marry this number."
Su clan used his fingers to compare the numbers with difficulty.
She didn't care about the dowry of heartache, as long as she could keep her daughter.
As long as the Cheng family stays quiet, the emperor can't know which daughter the Qin family is married to. Then she will put Qin Wan in her name, and Qin Wan will also be a proper daughter.
Sure enough, Mother Cheng's eyes lit up and said: "Mother-in-law, let's talk about it..."
Mrs. Qin always felt that this was wrong, and shouted: "Second daughter-in-law..."
"Mother, don't worry about this." Su Shi is really annoyed by this ambiguous mother-in-law. She wants to quickly solve this matter now, and it's best to marry someone out in a small sedan chair tomorrow.
Mrs. Qin hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, "Nothing, Mother Ning, help me go back."
Qin Sheng looked at Su clan with expectation, while Qin Wan, the fifth girl, was pale and trembling, but even so, she did not dare to disobey her aunt.
Qin Zhun always felt that this could not be done like this.
He has become more and more marginalized in the court. If he provokes the emperor again, he will not be exempted, but if the emperor is angry with him, it is not worth the loss. They still have to plan carefully...
As soon as he turned his head, he saw that the Su family had taken Cheng Mu into the main hall and sat down, and the two were bargaining about the dowry.
Qin Zhun: "..."
No matter what, hold the person steady first.
Qin Zhun was in a mess. He paced back and forth on the spot. After not knowing how long, a concierge rushed over and said, "Master Hou, Madam, there is another father-in-law in the palace."
Qin Zhun's heart jumped and he quickly let the chief steward usher in.
The one who came here was a small servant in Tsing Yi, with a smile on his face, arched his hands and said with joy: "Congratulations, the emperor ordered our family to come and say joy, and the emperor gave the four girls in the wedding house Qin Sheng, and Cheng Shiang, a member of the Pinghuai County Married."
The Su clan, who was coming out of the main hall, just heard these words, his feet were soft and he fell directly to one side.
"lady!"
The maids screamed in panic, making a mess.
So, when Qin Jiao entered the palace to thank the Empress early the next morning, he told Empress Wei about the farce as a funny thing:
"Fortunately, the maid next to her reacted quickly and helped her second aunt in time, so she didn't fall."
"The four sisters made a big fuss again, saying that she just won't marry, and whoever forces her to marry, she will die!"
"She also had the Cheng family thrown out..."
Qin Jiao said cheerfully, and Empress Wei was overjoyed.
This Qin Zhun, who pretends to be a clever man, is too stupid. He can't be as good as her brother-in-law.
If her sister-in-law had not died young, how could the Lord's House of Zhongyi be where it is today?
After hearing the gossip, Wei Huang suddenly asked, "Xiao Jiu, is Gao unhappy?"
Qin Jiu blinked and looked at Queen Wei.
Empress Wei said with satisfaction: "As the saying goes, it is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a heart. As long as Zezhi treats you well, that's enough!"
Queen Wei's smile was gentle and loving.
Qin Jiu felt that this scene was a bit familiar. In the hunting palace, after a palace banquet, she was called by her aunt. Her aunt asked her if Gu Zezhi treated her well?
How could she answer at the time? !
By the way, she seemed to say that golden thighs are very good to her, and then the aunt used her current tone and said with relief and emotion: "It's fine to you!"
Qin Jiao carefully recalled the conversation at that time, and then remembered that Queen Wei's first question at that time was to ask her what she thought of Gu Zezhi, and her answer seemed to be: Gu Gongzi is very good.
Qin Jiao: "..."
Okay, it seems she can't change her words now?
Having said that, anyway, she and the heroine and the heroine are already in the same situation. If she wants to live a good life, she seems to have to hug her golden thighs tightly.
If you want to say that, this marriage seems pretty good.
Maybe she will be able to "lie down and win" in the future!
Thinking of the bright future of "Lying and Win", Qin Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, revealing a pair of shallow pear vortices on his lips.
Seeing the little girl smiling like a flower, Queen Wei was completely relieved, and said: "Xiao Jiu, King Duan and Princess Duan have entered Beijing. After the marriage letter is set up, you remember to go to Duanwangfu to hand in a greeting note."
The marriage certificate was established, which meant that the marriage was completely settled. Qin Jiu was already a member of the Duan Palace, so he went to greet the Duan Wang and his wife. That was also a courtesy.
Empress Wei also warned her specifically because Qin Jiu had no father or mother, for fear that no one in the Qin family would remind her.
Qin Jiu obediently responded.
Empress Wei took Qin Jiu's hand and continued to say to her: "Wang Duan's surname is Xiao, she is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family in Jiangnan, and the Xiao family is a glorious family of hairpins for a century."
"Princess Duan has a very good temper. She believes in Buddhism. She often copies Buddhist scriptures on weekdays. She also likes to plant flowers and tea ceremony..."
"By the way, Princess Duan has liked bright colors since she was young, and she doesn't like plain colors, because it's not plain clothes."
Qin Jiu's lips curled up, listening carefully, and nodding from time to time.
Queen Wei said about a quarter of an hour before she picked up the teacup and took two sips. She knew that she was almost done, and then smiled and greeted Qin Jiu for a snack.
"Xiao Jiu, Yushanfang has recently developed a new dim sum. Come try the taste."
Qin Jiu remembered what Empress Wei had just said in her heart. She took a piece of golden fried snack and asked, "Auntie, is there any news about my cousin?"
When it comes to the youngest son Gu Ju, Queen Wei is even more happy, her eyes narrowed with a smile, "I received a letter from Ju'er yesterday."
Empress Wei asked Youbai to take the letter and shared it with Qin Jiu enthusiastically: "Xiao Jiu, look at the letter from Ju'er that he should be able to arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow."
"Yi'er, I'm so reluctant to see him in my palace. It is said that Zezhi took him to play ice sports. They followed the fishermen and smashed holes in the ice and caught a few fish. They said that the fish is very delicious... …"
...
Just as Gu Ju said in this letter, on the second day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Zezhi, Gu Ju, Liu Shijing and others returned to Beijing with a thousand forbidden troops.
The emperor met them in the royal study room.
After only half a month, the emperor felt that Gu Yu seemed to be taller and thinner, but he was very energetic. The emperor felt relieved and the smile on his face increased.
"What's the situation in Linpu Town?" The emperor went straight to the topic.
Liu Shijing is a wise man, knowing that it is not his turn to speak here, so he said nothing.
Gu Zezhi took a look at Gu Ju. Gu Ju maintained the posture of arrogance, and replied solemnly: "Returning to the father, Erchen, Uncle Ze and Master Liu visited the surrounding area of Linpu Town to help the people strengthen their houses. Some civilians moved out of Linpu Town and temporarily moved to ancestral halls and county offices, and some wealthy squires took the initiative to lend their houses to the court for temporary use."
"Blizzard has lasted for ten days, the river has frozen, and the snow is heavy. Mrs. Liu ordered the county magistrate to hire local civilians to sweep the snow and put soil on the official road to prevent slippage. The people's entry and exit was not affected by the blizzard."
"The food and grass used to relieve the victims have been transported to Linpu Town five days ago..."
Gu Yu grew up in the palace and never left the palace. He didn’t know what kind of house these people lived in. After visiting Linpu Town with Gu Zezhi and Liu Shijing this time, he knew that some people had been there. It was so miserable, those thatched huts looked crumbling, and they couldn't withstand disasters such as blizzards and hail. Fortunately, they moved these people away in advance.
Although some of his words are a bit childish, they are methodical and he has improved a lot.
The emperor looked at him like a little adult. He was always good and smart, because he was young and playful, but now he felt admired.
His Yuer was smarter than he thought.
Gu Wei was young, and he was still one-sided after all. After he finished speaking, Liu Shijing added a few more. For example, those cattle, sheep and poultry were collectively placed by the government. For example, the local crops had some frostbite. For example, the specific affected households had already been registered. , And the government will personally come to implement the situation. After that, the relief will be differentiated according to the disaster situation. For example, he will ask the local tax exemption for one year.
The emperor was quite satisfied. This time he was able to reduce the losses in Linpu Town to the lowest point, which was considered a feat. After commending Liu Shijing, he sent him away, and then said to Gu: Son, your mother misses you very much these days, so go and see your mother first."
It was the first time that Gu Yu had left Queen Wei for so long. He also missed Queen Wei and responded happily.
After saluting, he retired happily.
Only the emperor and Gu Zezhi remained in the imperial study room.
The emperor smiled and said, "Zezhi, your father and concubine have already arrived in the capital. You can go back soon if you are okay."
Duan Wang's Mansion has a mansion in the capital. It was the mansion that the former emperor gave to Duan Wang when he became an adult. At the beginning, Duan Wang and Duan Wang were married in this mansion in Beijing.
After Gu Zezhi arrived in the capital in October, he lived in the Duanwang Mansion in the capital.
Gu Zezhi smiled slightly and said, "Yes, the emperor."
The emperor looked at Gu Zezhi who was separated from his own case, and the smile on his face grew thicker. At his age, he can almost be Gu Zezhi's father. Looking at this cousin, it is inevitable that there is a kind of love that looks at the younger generation.
The emperor caressed the tea cup at his hand, and said: "I have made an order to grant you a marriage. Next, you have to take care of me and seek a title before getting married. You can't be wronged by Xiao Jiu!"
The emperor seemed to exhort, but also seemed to say casually.
Gu Zezhi let out a soft "um", a soft smile filled his eyes, his brows were gentle, and the room was full of radiance.
Long before the emperor left the hunting palace and returned to Beijing, he told Gu Zezhi that when the king arrived in Beijing, he would marry Qin Jiu.
The emperor was a rare matchmaker. He was in a surprisingly good mood and said, "Zezhi, you did a good job with this errand."
"Next, you will continue to be responsible for the peace talks with Bei Yan."
These Yan people have also been in the capital for a while. The emperor looked at Yeluluan and was annoyed, wishing to send them back to Bei Yan quickly.
Gu Zezhi: "Yes, the emperor."
After that, the emperor also sent Gu Zezhi away: "You have been struggling along the way, and you are also tired. Go back and rest earlier."
Gu Zezhi responded again, and should return, but after leaving the palace, he did not rush back to the palace, but went to the Zhongyihou's palace first.
As soon as the Qin family's concierge heard Gu Zezhi's name, he knew that this was the third aunt of the future, and he hurried to report it to Mrs. Hou's Su family first.
"Madam, the next three aunts are here!"
The woman who came to talk to me was beaming. Who doesn't know that the future Sanguye is the third son of the Duan Palace, the emperor's cousin!
In sharp contrast, Su's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip ink. She squeezed the tea cup in her hand tightly, and almost didn't crush it.
Su's mood has not been very good these few days, because of the marriage of his daughter Qin Sheng, he has been tossing and turning for several nights, and his whole person has been haggard a lot.
Qin Sheng is her only biological daughter. She originally planned to arrange a good marriage for her, let her marry gracefully, with ten miles of red makeup, which is enviable.
But because of Qin Jiu, now her sister Sheng is going to marry Cheng Shiang's Poppy, so why can Qin Jiu have such a good marriage with a wild girl! ! Qin Jiu should marry Cheng Shiang!
The more Su Clan thought about it, the more annoyed, he placed the tea cup in his hand on the small square table.
The woman who came to spread the word was startled, her head drooped lower with her voice holding her breath.
Su Clan caressed his sleeves, and said to the woman in a weird manner: "Our Hou Mansion is a regular person. Go and tell Master Gu that this person is gone."
Madam Zhao on the side wanted to say something but stopped.
This marriage is bestowed by the imperial decree, and it is firmly established. Why should the wife do such things that harm others and disadvantage herself? I am afraid that Lord Hou will blame the wife if he knows it.
Su Clan just wanted to vent the anger accumulated in his heart. Then, he coldly told the maidservant: "Sizhu, you go and tell the third girl, this person who has an appointment should abide by the rules, don't make trouble with men or women. What ridiculous scandal comes."
Both the wife and Sizhu had only promised and retreated lightly, and then divided into two groups, one returned to the gate, and the other to the Wanxiangyuan.
Sizhu faithfully followed Su's tone, and said without missing a word, neither dared to add a word or miss it.
Qin Jiu blinked, and immediately reacted and got up from the chair.
The meaning of this sentence, is it possible that the golden thigh is back? !
Qin Jiao was about to go out immediately, Sizhu frowned and tried to stop: "Mrs. San, where are you going! You didn't hear what the lady said..."
Du Ruo unceremoniously pulled Sizhu aside and prevented her from blocking Qin Jiao's way. "This is in Wanxiangyuan. The girl can do whatever she wants. If you are not convinced, you will kneel; if you are not convinced, you will leave. Go home. No one is stopping you!!!"
Sizhu's pretty face was slightly stiff. She is Madam Hou's big maid, and it is the first time that she is being reprimanded by someone pointing her nose like this in the Hou Mansion who doesn't give her a face.
Du Ruo proudly said again: "Miss Sizhu, I am busy here, so I won't entertain you!"
With that said, Du Ruo gave two high-fives, and two ruthless ambassadors came, approaching Sizhu, reaching out for a petition, looking embarrassed.
As for Qin Jiu, he has hurried out of Wanxiangyuan to the gate.
From a distance, I heard a woman say: "...Gu San Gongzi, you'd better go back. In this cold weather, snow and ice, in case the wind gets into your body or someone carelessly under your feet, It's not beautiful..."
"Big Brother!"
Qin Jiu shouted, smiling at the young man outside the east corner door.
