With Gu Gong's promise, Gu Jue began to make a fuss.
He mobilized all relationships, and even ran to the palace to beg Gu Jiu.
"My sister, if there is a suitable candidate, as long as the other party doesn't dislike her, we are all willing to look at each other. It doesn't matter even if it is the clan."
The world still has many prejudices against clan members.
This cannot be reversed overnight.
Gu Jiu kept this matter in mind, "Don't worry, brother, I will help find a few candidates. I also hope that Gu Gong can solve the major issues in life as soon as possible."
"I'll leave this to my sister." Gu Ting rushed out of the palace excitedly, and went to ask others to ask for relationships.
Gu Jiu became interested and ordered Bai Zhong to handle the matter.
Bai Zhong searched and said, "I would like to tell you the truth, the clan has two widows of suitable age, but their reputations are not very good."
"What's wrong?"
"Both are a little unclear about the relationship between men and women, which is criticized."
"Is there someone making rumors to slander, or is this the truth?"
"According to the old slave's investigation, there are both. These two people are out and about with people, and they don't pay attention to propriety. As soon as the number of times is too many, they are spread all kinds of gossip."
Gu Jiu hesitated for a moment, then directly picked up the pen, and crossed the two widows of the clan from the list.
Searched around and couldn't find a suitable one.
Seeing that Gu Ting was in a hurry to get angry, Gu Jiu suddenly remembered that in terms of the number of families, there are still two largest families in the world, the Sun family and the Zhou family.
Well, they are all acquaintances.
Send someone to bring a message to Sun Zhuangyuan and Zhou Shi'an.
If there is a suitable candidate in the family, can I have a look at each other with Gu Gong.
Except for Gu Gong's old age and disability, other conditions are quite good.
A fourth-rank military general with a serious job in the military academy.
There are no parents, no sister-in-law and sister-in-law to find fault with, living alone and living behind closed doors, which is great for women.
Moreover, the brothers of the Gu family have separated, and Gu Gong has received a large amount of property under his name.
There are farms, pavements, and several houses. There are also various shares.
Materially, don't worry about it at all.
Gu Gong's annual income is enough to support his family.
As a result, neither the Sun family nor the Zhou family had suitable age candidates.
The widows of both families are older than Gu Gong, and most of them no longer plan to remarry.
Even if they remarry, they will not have children.
This did not meet Gu Gong's request.
On the contrary, Mr. Lu's family has a woman of the right age.
In his early twenties, his previous husband was weak and sick, and he died within a few years.
Women have not yet given birth.
It's just that her appearance is average, and she can only be regarded as handsome.
The advantage lies in reading and literacy, being sensible and knowing how to advance and retreat.
When Gu Ting heard this, he was very interested.
Urging to see each other.
Mr. Lu was a little hesitant, "There is something I need to tell you clearly. This girl doesn't have much dowry left. Her ex-husband was seriously ill, so she made a dowry to treat his ex-husband. Later, she returned to her mother's house with the dowry and spent another In our Lu family, there are rich and poor, she is a widow with a huge dowry, many people are thinking about it, even her own brothers have the idea of her dowry.
In order to live a peaceful life, she sometimes had to give up a little money to buy a clean. After a few years, I reckon that half of her dowry will remain, mainly real estate and acres. Gold and silver are soft, so there must not be much left. "
Gu Ting said: "It doesn't matter if the dowry is small, the key is to have a good person and less trouble! You said that her brother is trying to get her dowry, but what about her parents? Are they unwilling to stand up for her? Is her brother difficult to deal with?"
Mr. Lu laughed, "No matter how difficult a person is, when they meet Gu Gong, they have to confess. This woman's parents are partial to their sons and grandchildren, and they made all kinds of excuses to squeeze the girl. As outsiders, we are actually not good. Interfere in their housework. If a woman marries Gu Gong, Gu Gong must be distracted from handling the relationship with the future father-in-law."
Gu Yu pondered for a while, "Let's look at each other! That kind of trouble is nothing to Gu Gong after all."
"The old man thinks so too. Gu Gong's other skills are not that great, but his ability to scare people is first-class. He only needs to show 70 to 80% of his skills, which is enough to scare the woman's family and make them not Dare to act rashly."
"Very good!"
Determined to see each other, Mr. Lu wrote a letter back to his ancestral home, asking the tribe to bring the girl to the capital together with the dowry.
Not surprisingly, this marriage should work out.
Even if it doesn't work, it's better to stay in the capital and choose a son-in-law to marry than to go back to the ancestral home and suffer the idleness of parents and brothers.
In early winter, Gu Gong met Lu Xiuniang for the first time.
An old bachelor, a young widow.
Accompanied by family members, the meeting place is set at Zhixing Academy.
As Mr. Lu said, Lu Xiuniang is not beautiful, she can only be considered delicate, but she is good-looking and has a gentle temperament. At first glance, he looks like a well-behaved man.
The possibility is a little weak.
Gu Gong is a hot-tempered, gentle wife, and it is appropriate to overcome strength with softness. This
After a blind date for an hour, they both left impressions on each other.
Afterwards, Gu Yu asked Gu Gong, "How about this? If you still don't like it, then continue to look at it."
"You don't need to keep looking at each other, a woman from the Lu family is very suitable."
"Followed?" Gu Ting was surprised.
Lu Xiuniang was not beautiful, so he thought Gu Gong didn't like her.
Gu Gong said firmly: "Very good. As long as she doesn't dislike me, this marriage can be done."
After making sure that Gu Gong was not joking, Gu Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not easy!
After looking at so many, I finally settled on one.
"I'll discuss it with Mr. Lu and ask the woman what she thinks. If there is nothing unexpected, I will ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage tomorrow."
First marry from your father, and second marry from yourself.
Lu Xiuniang is a widow, as long as she agrees, she can get engaged. There is no need to ask her parents for advice.
Moreover, she brought the dowry to the capital, which saved a lot of things.
Lu Xiuniang is willing.
Ignoring Gu Gong's disability, he is a good marriage partner.
Status, family background, money, and appearance are all available.
Marrying Gu Gong, she was sure that she could get rid of her family.
Both agree, so what are you waiting for.
The matchmaker came to propose marriage, and Mr. Lu, as Lu Xiuniang's elder, made decisions for her throughout the whole process.
Over there in my hometown, write a letter to let me know.
If you can come to the capital to attend the wedding, go out quickly.
If you don't like to come to the capital, don't bother.
The second married woman is not so particular.
Lu Xiuniang's parents and brothers must come to the capital to see their future son-in-law.
Ten days before the wedding, the family arrived in the capital.
When they saw Gu Gong, they realized that the other party was a cripple, and Lu Xiuniang's parents immediately got into a fight.
She scolded Lu Xiuniang for being mean, thinking that she was crazy about men, so she would marry a cripple.
And let Lu Xiuniang take out the bride price.
It is enough for her to have a dowry, and the dowry must be brought home by them.
Inside and outside the words, everyone disliked Gu Gong.
Gu Gong is an old bachelor who took advantage of the boss, so the bride price of a few thousand taels is not enough. At least one or two thousand taels of compensation should be paid to them. After all, it is not easy for them to raise their daughter.
When Lu's parents and lions opened their mouths, Gu Gong looked at them indifferently and did not respond at all.
The Lu family's parents said that Gu Gong was a piece of wood and didn't understand the world.
Such a marriage cannot be done, and I advocate retiring.
Lu Xiuniang was almost cornered. In front of Gu Gong, he lost face to the boss, wishing he could die.
Really shameless.
His brother even waved his fist, threatening her to hand over the money.
Gu Gong, who had been silent all this time, started to move at this moment.
Without saying a word, he picked up the stool and threw it on the head of the future brother-in-law.
"Ah... I killed someone..."
The Lu family's parents were frightened to death and screamed in horror.
Gu Gong ignored him, pressed his future brother-in-law to the ground, and greeted him with his fists.
It is said that you don't hit someone in the face when you hit someone, so he greeted the other person in the face.
"Can't fight, can't fight!"
"Stop!"
"People are going to be beaten to death!"
"Killer, fast report officer..."
"I want to sue you, sue Li for bankruptcy!"
Mr. Lu took the time to come to the scene.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
He persuaded Gu Gong, "Okay, just teach me a lesson."
He came forward to persuade Lu's parents.
The Lu family's parents don't need to give other people's face, but Mr. Lu's face must be given.
Not only because Mr. Lu is a clan boss, but also because Mr. Lu is the person with the highest status in the Lu family.
Gu Gong let it go.
Lu's parents hurried forward to check on the child's injuries.
Gu Gong wiped the corners of his mouth and said sharply: "This general has taken a fancy to your mother-in-law and married her. If anyone disagrees, don't bother her and come to me if you have the guts. I'll give you five thousand taels, give it to me quickly." Leave the capital, otherwise I will hit this kid every time I see him in the future. Whether he is my brother-in-law or not, I will hit him anyway.
You two elders, I have no objection to living in the capital. Dare to come to the door every three days to ask the embroiderer for money, insult her, and trouble her. I don't hit the elders, I only hit the brother-in-law. As soon as you ask for money, I'll call my brother-in-law. I'm in the capital, and I can't do it myself, so I'll send my soldiers to live near your Lu family's ancestral house, and the soldiers will clean up my brother-in-law for me. If you don't believe me, just give it a try and see if I can do what I say. My brother-in-law has rough skin and thick flesh, so tomorrow my hands will itch, so I have to clean him up myself. "
Putting these words aside, Gu Gong left the Lu residence.
Two hours later, his personal soldiers brought several large boxes of silver to the Lu residence.
"My general said to give you five thousand taels, and he did what he said. This is five thousand taels of official silver, and no one deceives anyone. Please count."
Lu's parents were dumbfounded!
Damn, this son-in-law is too fucked up.
They secretly scolded Lu Xiuniang, "Look what man you're looking for! He beat your own brother, his face was smashed, you can't marry this man."
"But if I don't marry him, he might kill my younger brother. You have all seen with your own eyes how tyrannical he is. If I marry him, at least my younger brother's life will be safe."
Just to get a few more beatings.
"You debt collector, why did you just fall in love with this man? Not to mention being disabled, he dared to threaten us and beat your brother without mercy. You are trying to force the whole family to death! Even if you marry, your brother will come back sooner or later." One day it will die at his hands."
Lu Xiuniang whispered: "He said that as long as you are not in the capital, he will not do anything. Why don't you all attend the wedding and take your younger brother away from Beijing. I am afraid that he will see his younger brother again, maybe he will really meet One hit at a time. My younger brother's face is injured, and if he gets hit again, he may really lose his appearance. The five thousand taels may not even be enough for the medicine."
Lu Xiuniang was expressionless, but she was secretly happy in her heart.
She had wanted to beat her brother up a long time ago, but she was not strong enough and her parents were partial.
Gu Gong beat her younger brother violently for her, and at that moment, her heart jumped out.
Excited, shocked, satisfied!
She threatened her parents with Gu Gong, and it really worked.
Two days later, Lu's parents hurriedly left the capital with their son and money.
Not even attending the wedding reception.
When a widow remarries, no one cares whether the parents are present or not.
It was only when she was married for the first time that there were so many rules.
After her parents and brothers left, Lu Xiuniang suddenly felt that the sky was high and the sea was wide.
She respectfully invited Mr. Lu out.
On the day of the wedding banquet, Mr. Lu accepted the toast on behalf of the woman's elders.
Mr. Lu readily agreed.
In late winter months, Gu Gong, who had been single for decades, finally got married.
Gu Ting took the initiative and held a grand wedding banquet for Gu Gong.
The cost of the wedding banquet was met by a few elder brothers, and he was not asked to pay a penny, nor was he asked to worry about the wedding banquet.
The Hu family and Pei Man took care of everything, and they took care of everything about the wedding banquet.
On the wedding day, family and friends gather together.
Even the palace sent a congratulatory gift.
King Qi and King Lu also sent congratulatory gifts!
People didn't attend, so it was a good idea.
It wasn't until this time that Lu Xiuniang learned that Gu Gong was actually the empress's younger brother, and her nephew was the prince.
She always thought that Gu Gong was the heir of the Gu family.
After all, when combining horoscopes, only write parents, not all brothers and sisters.
The Gu family is so big, with so many members, and they split up again.
Who is who, which house belongs to which house, how can she figure it out.
If you don't deliberately mention it, who would have thought that Gu Gong is actually the younger brother of the Empress Empress.
After all, Gu Gong never mentioned this relationship in front of others, and never entered the palace to pay his respects.
The Empress never mentioned Gu Gong in public.
As time went by, many people subconsciously thought that Gu Gong and the Empress had no relationship other than being of the same clan.
Even Gu Gong's colleagues thought so.
Getting along for a long time completely ignored Gu Gong's background.
This is a subtle influence.
Gu Gong deliberately ignored this relationship, and the people around him were affected, so they also ignored this relationship.
After a long time, if I don't go through it in my head, if I think about it carefully, I can't remember the relationship between Gu Gong and the empress at all.
Lu Xiuniang smiled, and was thankful again.
She was lucky that her parents didn't know that Gu Gong and the empress were half-siblings.
Otherwise, the parents would not say anything and would not leave the capital, and they would definitely stay in the capital with all sorts of gossip.
