Lin Weixi once again got into the long-lost carriage. After bumping for a long time, the voices outside the car curtain became noisy and dense. Lin Weixi guessed that he had probably entered the city.
Sure enough, when the defender saw King Yan's token, he didn't even dare to check it, so he lowered his head slightly and let King Yan's frame enter the city. The county magistrate in the city was shocked when he heard that King Yan, who had clearly stated that he was going to leave yesterday, came to the county seat in person.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Yan. The lord is here in person, and the lower officials have lost their way to welcome him. I also ask the lord to forgive me."
"It's okay, get up." Gu Huiyan held the reins loosely in his hand, and sat on the horse condescendingly, with some indifference even in his voice, "Is there a quiet yard nearby?"
courtyard? How many days did King Yan plan to stay? The county magistrate was a little confused. He glanced at the carriage behind King Yan, and vaguely guessed that King Yan was looking for a quiet courtyard for this one. He heard that King Yan had lost his wife for nearly ten years... The magistrate only had a head start. He didn't dare to think about it any more, and his attitude became more and more respectful: "My lord, your presence has made the county flourish, how dare Xiaguan let you rent a place outside? If the prince does not dislike it, you can stay at the small official mansion."
Gu Huiyan glanced at the county magistrate. The magistrate was generally practical, and his Mandarin was a set of sets. Gu Huiyan tightened the reins in his hand, soothed Zhaoxue who was a little restless, and said, "No need, let's find another house."
Gu Huiyan's words were indifferent, but the magistrate immediately heard a danger from it. The county magistrate was sweating coldly on his back. He didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he lowered his body and replied, "The lower official obeys the order, Wang Ye, wait a moment."
Lin Weixi felt the carriage stop. Although she was the only one in the carriage, she still sat quietly and did not lift the curtain curiously. It didn't take long for the carriage to continue walking. Lin Weixi estimated that after turning a few corners, there was a click from under the carriage, and then Zhou Maocheng's voice sounded from outside: "Daughter Lin, get out of the car."
In fact, according to Lin Weixi's years of upbringing, her figure and appearance cannot be seen by men other than her father and brother, and the carriage must be parked at the second gate. It is very rude to get off and on the street. But now this is just a small town, and Lin Weixi has not returned to his original identity. Since this is the case, there is no need to pay attention to it.
Lin Weixi got out of the car with the corner of her skirt on her own. She looked up and found that they were actually parked in front of a second-entry house. Lin Weixi is a little confused about King Yan's mind. What does King Yan mean
Lin Weixi looked at King Yan, and Gu Huiyan stood in front of everyone as usual. He was listening to what his subordinate was reporting, and when he noticed Lin Weixi's gaze, he raised his hand, stopped his subordinate's words, and then nodded lightly to Lin Weixi: "Go in."
Lin Weixi looked left and right, and pointed to himself in surprise. Gu Huiyan nodded, Lin Weixi was flattered and walked in first, Gu Huiyan followed behind her, and then was the rest.
They only lived here temporarily, so Gu Huiyan just bought a second-class house. Among them, the second entry was left to Lin Weixi alone. Gu Huiyan lived in front of him with his cronies. If something happened, they would be disturbed. There was no doubt about Lin Weixi's safety.
Lin Weixi basically had no luggage when she went out this morning. She has lived in Aunt Lin's house for six years, but she has very little luggage. The only thing that hinders her is some letters sent to her by Lin Yong. Lin Weixi had already packed these up and was ready to leave at any time. She didn't want to see Aunt Lin's family again at a glance, so she didn't go back, but asked Zhou Maocheng to go to Aunt Lin's house and bring her baggage over.
After all, Aunt Lin was Lin Weixi's aunt, and she had adopted the original owner for six years. Lin Weixi scolded her fiercely. In fact, she didn't know what to do with them, and what to do with them. Lin Weixi didn't intend to pursue the silver taels deducted by Aunt Lin, so she should send beggars to do good deeds, but what Li Da did yesterday was really disgusting to Lin Weixi.
Lin Weixi grew up so big, neither Gao Xi nor Lin Weixi had ever suffered such humiliation. She was so angry, but now that she lost her identity, she couldn't do anything to Li Da, and she didn't know who to turn to for help. Lin Weixi thought about it all the way, but in the end he could only be sulking with himself.
Lin Weixi walked into the inner courtyard, and when he entered the door, Zhou Maocheng quietly said to Lin Weixi while the people around him were not paying attention: "Daughter Lin, don't be afraid, uncle I beat that kid hard last night, when I went to pick up something today, Their family was frightened like a quail, they didn't even dare to fart."
It was obviously vulgar, but Lin Weixi burst out laughing. She smiled and said seriously, "Thank you Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Maocheng was called "Uncle Zhou" by this sentence, and he secretly sighed that it was better to have a daughter. Listening to this cute voice and polite conversation, he was much better than the boys in his family.
Zhou Maocheng looked at Lin Weixi, had a whim, and asked, "Daughter Lin, it's not that my uncle is taking advantage of you, Uncle Zhou really likes you as a girl. It just so happens that there are a few incompetent boys in my family who are about the same age as you. Haven't married yet. Do you want to marry into Uncle Zhou's house as a daughter-in-law, as long as you want, whichever Uncle Zhou you like will marry you!"
Lin Weixi smiled at first, but his smile gradually stiffened when he heard this: "Uncle Zhou, thank you for your kindness, no need..."
"You're welcome, if you want, the little bastards in our family can't wait."
"I really don't need to..."
After saying goodbye to the regretful Zhou Maocheng, Lin Weixi turned around and walked into the house. After entering the house, she sighed deeply.
Does she look so worried about marriage? Why did everyone want to kiss her, Zhou Maocheng even planned to intimidate his son.
Lin Weixi slowly sat beside the embroidered pier. She looked at the tiny cracks on the pear wood round table and was a little ecstatic.
King Yan rushed back to the capital, presumably for Gu Chengyao's sake. Yes, she used to be blinded by her family background, and she really thought that she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was also a good housekeeper, so when others said she was good, she really liked her. But once she got rid of the halo of her family background, she was revealed.
Lin Weixi gave a wry smile when she thought of it, and she also thought that if she were a man, she wouldn't like a woman like her who relied on her family background and grandmother to be domineering. So, if she really appreciates Zhou Maocheng, she can't marry her and harm others.
Zhou Maocheng watched Lin Weixi enter the room with regret, and then returned to the front with a long sigh. Gu Huiyan was dealing with urgent items in the study room that had been cleaned up temporarily. Hearing Zhou Maocheng sigh, he looked up, and the ink in his hand kept writing, and asked casually, "Why are you doing this?"
"I see that the girl in the Lin family is smart and has a sharp tongue. In the future, getting married will definitely be a good thing for the family. I had the cheek to match my sons, but she refused. Alas, although I expected it, I still It’s a pity…”
Gu Huiyan laughed softly, that girl is not ordinary, she is bold and high-spirited, if it is not a man with some skills, I am afraid that she will not be able to subdue her. So Zhou Maocheng closed the door, and Gu Huiyan was not surprised, because just yesterday, he only mentioned a few words, and he was bumped by this girl.
However, when it comes to Lin Weixi's xing family, Gu Huiyan thinks of another thing. He personally wrote a letter to the daughter-in-law whom the eldest Princess Shoukang asked for, but he died of illness at the end of last year.
Gu Huiyan still remembered that this daughter-in-law was named Gao Xi. In all fairness, Gu Huiyan was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law. It's just a pity that there is no fate, after all, it can't be forced.
Shen Shi had been dead for ten years, and the old concubine had also passed away for a long time. Only two men, Gu Huiyan and Gu Chengyao, remained in Prince Yan's mansion. There is no hostess Zhang Luo at home, and the marriage of the father and son has been delayed year by year. Gu Huiyan didn't want to continue his marriage, and of course he didn't bother to worry about Gu Chengyao's marriage, so Gu Chengyao suddenly sent him a half-fish jade pendant and asked him to find the owner of this jade pendant, Gu Huiyan was still very surprised.
Gu Chengyao is only sixteen years old, and already knows how to find a wife for himself? Gu Huiyan doesn't have any opinion of family. Anyway, no matter what family the woman is, it is almost the same in front of their family. Since Gu Chengyao likes it, there is no need for him as a father to pour cold water. But at that time, Gu Huiyan was still quelling the rebellion of the Duogulati tribe. He didn't have time to check a woman's jade pendant, so he wrote a letter and sent it back to the capital together with the jade pendant, asking the eldest princess Shoukang to find the woman.
The eldest princess Shoukang is Gu Huiyan's aunt. When Lao Yan Wang was not in the vassal, he was very cared by Princess Shoukang, so Lao Yan Wang and Lao Yan Wang Fei always thought of Princess Shoukang's friendship. Later, when Gu Huiyan suddenly emerged and his power greatly surpassed that of Princess Shoukang's mansion, Gu Huiyan did not cut off communication with the mansion of the eldest princess.
Gu Huiyan was not free, so he entrusted the search to the eldest Princess Shoukang. The eldest princess Shoukang has always lived in the capital, and she has contact with many female relatives on weekdays. It is more appropriate for the eldest princess to find people than Gu Huiyan in person. But Gu Huiyan didn't expect that he had just sent the letter away, almost without delay, Princess Shoukang sent a reply letter, and the other half of the fish-shaped jade pendant came with the letter.
Oh, there is such a coincidence in the world that the woman Gu Chengyao was looking for turned out to be the granddaughter of the eldest princess Shoukang. After receiving the reply, Gu Huiyan said nothing, immediately took out his seal of King Yan, and sincerely asked to marry Gao Xi, the granddaughter of the eldest princess on behalf of his son.
The next thing is the marriage of the British public mansion and the Yanwang mansion, which is well known in the capital. Gu Huiyan had one thing on his mind, and after that, he concentrated on dealing with the Northwest War and did not pay attention to the affairs of the palace.
Gu Huiyan knew the situation of Princess Shoukang's mansion very well. Princess Shoukang was favored before she descended, and her husband was Tanhua during the Chengwu period. Once the concubine becomes a princess, she will no longer be allowed to enter the office, and the concubine Shoukang is still a scholar with no foundation. It is indeed an honor to marry the princess, but the future of the princess and Tanhua Lang cannot have both. , and Princess Shoukang has a slightly stronger character.
Later, the only daughter of Princess Shoukang's only daughter, Wei Shi, was influenced by the way her parents got along. Wei's daughter, Gao Xi, refused to accept her mother's behalf. Since childhood, she has been feisty, trying to be the best among sisters and even brothers in everything she does. In Gu Huiyan's opinion, being a strong woman is not a deduction. On the contrary, if Gu Chengyao really likes that kind of weak woman, Gu Huiyan will have to worry about the huge family business of Prince Yan's mansion. Moreover, Gao Xi, the younger generation, has lived in Princess Shoukang's mansion for more than half a year. Gu Huiyan is very relieved that Princess Shoukang will personally teach him.
But I didn't expect that Gu Huiyan didn't pay attention to the affairs of the palace for a while, and when he received the letter again, it turned out to be the news of Gao Xi's death.
Although it is very disrespectful to say this to the dead, but... is it too soon? What made Gu Huiyan frown in particular was the voice that Gu Chengyao handed over along with the deceased's obituary. The British government intends to let Gao Xi's concubine Gao Ran marry over to do the sequel. He has agreed.
Gu Huiyan didn't say anything at the time, but everyone present knew that King Yan was very unhappy about the continuation of his marriage.
Gu Huiyan didn't know why he thought of his ex-daughter-in-law because of Lin Weixi. Zhou Maocheng saw that Gu Huiyan's face was a little gloomy, and the unspoken complaint suddenly turned around and swallowed. He looked at Gu Huiyan's expression and said carefully, "Your Highness, is the letter from the prince?"
Gu Huiyan sighed imperceptibly: "The capital just sent a letter, and his marriage with the third lady of the British government is scheduled for next month."
Lin Weixi made a special trip to thank King Yan, and she just heard this sentence when she walked past the window.
Gu Chengyao and Gao Ran's marriage will be next month.
