While waiting anxiously and restlessly, the Gu family finally received the imperial decree from the palace.
When the servant who passed the decree came to Gu's mansion, Mr. Gu thought to himself that he finally came.
Then I thought again, the imperial decree really came.
At this moment, Master Gu ordered people to call all the family members to receive the order, and at the same time, he was thinking about how capable Gu Jiu was, not only to be favored by His Majesty, but also to be married to the grandson of the emperor.
What is wrong, or is he thinking too much
Lord Gu shook his head slightly, no, he definitely didn't think too much.
From the beginning to the end, this bestowed marriage gave people a feeling of looking at flowers in a fog, and they could never figure out the truth.
He got close to the servant, hoping to learn more about the inside story.
With Gu's family background, plus their second-bedroom family, and they have only arrived in the capital not long ago, they haven't even stepped on the land in the capital.
If someone hadn't followed His Majesty to slander her, how could His Majesty grant Gu Jiu a marriage.
Yes, Mr. Gu knew early on that the other person who bestowed the marriage was Liu Zhao from Prince Ning's Mansion.
Thinking that because of the case provoked by Liu Zhao, he was sent to the Imperial Prison, and he was in constant panic for several days, Mr. Gu felt annoyed and hated in his heart.
After leaving the prison, he made up his mind to stay away from royal families like Liu Zhao. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhao would target his daughter.
Can't figure it out!
Master Gu was making friends with the servant, while wildly guessing that Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao might have an affair.
No no no, how is it possible.
Mr. Gu himself was the first to deny this absurd guess.
Since Gu Jiu returned to the capital, she hasn't been out of the house. The farthest place is to go to the Hou Mansion next door. It should be that before this, I have never seen Liu Zhao.
However, Liu Zhao deliberately circled Gu Jiu's name, listening to the servant's meaning, at that time the Shaofu order advised him to come, and advised him to choose a girl with a better family background.
In the end, the Shaofu Ling couldn't persuade him no matter how much he persuaded him, Liu Zhao was determined to marry Gu Jiu after eating the weight.
The waiter was cheerful, "Congratulations, Mr. Gu, for giving birth to a good daughter. Young Master Zhao has a deep-rooted affection for Ling Qianjin."
Mr. Gu agreed and smiled awkwardly.
How can there be any deep-rooted love.
Mr. Gu believes that Liu Zhao has hidden traitors inside, and marrying Gu Jiu must have malicious intentions.
The reason why Gu Jiu's name is included in the circle is because Gu Jiu is his eldest daughter.
Yes, definitely, definitely, for this reason.
Mr. Gu imagined a drama of Liu Zhao's revenge in his mind.
Scenes and scenes flashed through his mind, the worst of which was Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu marrying Liu Zhao is like jumping into a pit of fire.
Master Gu suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
This child Gu Jiu is pitiful.
For more than ten years, he ignored Gu Jiu. Originally, he wanted to make up for her well, and tell her a good marriage in the future, so that she will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
In the end, he was intercepted by Liu Zhao, the grandson of the emperor who was ambitious and ill-intentioned.
As soon as he thought that Gu Jiu was married to the palace and suffered for him, Master Gu felt that he owed Gu Jiu.
Yes, Mr. Gu imagined a big drama, that is, Liu Zhao thought he was not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to take revenge on him. Because she couldn't do anything about him for the time being, she simply married Gu Jiu and tortured her.
Mr. Gu covered his face with his sleeves, and the sadness in his heart flowed like a river.
Unexpectedly, he actually killed his daughter.
How could he bear the fact that his daughter suffered for him.
However, the decree has been issued, and things cannot be changed.
Mr. Gu secretly sighed, and asked Liu Zhao's personality and preferences in a sideways manner.
The servant said with a smile: "Young Master Zhao is of course very big, but he is a bit indifferent, and I heard that he is not in good health."
"Young Master Zhao is not in good health?" Mr. Gu thought about it all at once.
The servant nodded, "The imperial physician often goes to Prince Ning's Mansion to ask for pulse. There is nothing serious about it, but the body is weak, and you don't even need to take medicine."
If Gu Jiu were here at this moment, he would definitely have a look on his face.
Liu Zhao is weak? What a joke.
Gu Jiu has never seen a man who is healthier than Liu Zhao.
Don't look at Gu Ting who runs outside all day, seems to be physically strong, but he is really not as good as Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao is the typical one who looks thin when dressed, but looks fleshy when undressed.
Asked how Gu Jiu knew that Liu Zhao had meat when he took off his clothes
Of course it was a guess.
Of course Master Gu didn't know that Liu Zhao was as strong as a cow, when he heard that Liu Zhao was physically weak, he frowned immediately, and imagined Gu Jiu's various tragic fates.
Seeing this, the waiter laughed.
"Your Majesty Gu, don't worry, let Qianjin marry Gongzi Zhao, just wait for the blessing."
Master Gu smiled, and his words deceived the common people.
Marry the emperor's grandson and enjoy the blessings
It would be nice not to be implicated and beheaded, and enjoy the blessings, I think too much.
All the people from the Gu family came.
Master Gu waved at Gu Jiu, his eyes were filled with kindness.
The daughter can only enjoy the blessings during the days left in her natal family. After she gets married, she will start to suffer.
Ever since, Mr. Gu inspired unprecedented paternal love. The kindness in the eyes almost overflowed the eye sockets, making Gu Yue gnash her silver teeth in jealousy.
Gu Jiu stepped forward and greeted the servant.
Master Gu introduced: "This is the little girl, Gu Jiu."
The servant looked Gu Jiu up and down, and nodded, "Master Gu is blessed. Everyone is here, so let's start."
The incense table was set up, and the second room of the Gu family knelt on the ground together to welcome the imperial decree.
The content of the imperial decree is very simple, roughly speaking, it is to marry Gu Jiu, the granddaughter of the general of the town army, to the emperor's grandson Liu Zhao.
The servant announced the decree, and Mr. Gu accepted the decree with his own hands.
The servant said congratulations, "Congratulations, Master Gu, Miss Gu."
"Same joy, same joy."
Master Gu had a smile on his face, but his heart was full of bitterness.
The housekeeper Gu Quan hurriedly sent a big gift. The waiter weighed the weight and smiled with satisfaction.
"Our family has to go back to the palace to return to order, so we will leave first. Mr. Gu should hurry up and prepare a dowry for Miss Gu. After Miss Gu reaches Ji, the Shaofu Ling will send someone to discuss the wedding date."
"Thank you for reminding me, let's go slowly."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after seeing off the servant who delivered the decree.
Meanwhile, no one left the lobby.
Everyone stared at the imperial decree in Mr. Gu's hand.
Mr. Gu simply unfolded the imperial decree, "Everyone, let's take a look."
A bright yellow imperial decree with Gu Jiu's name written on it.
When Mrs. Xie saw it, she took a deep breath and muttered, "The second girl was really accused of marriage to the son?"
Master Gu nodded, "Of course it is true."
Xie stared at Gu Jiu with complicated emotions, "Second girl, you are blessed."
Gu Jiu smiled slightly, neither humble nor overbearing, as usual, and said: "Thanks to my wife."
"I don't have any luck." Xie's heart was sour, and she subconsciously glanced at Gu Yue.
If she was blessed, Gu Yue would not marry Zhao Erlang, a man who suppressed his wife.
Gu Yue was a little dazed, a little helpless, and even more unbelievable.
"Second sister was accused of being married to the emperor's grandson, this, this..."
Before Gu Yue could finish speaking, Master Gu's eyes pierced like a sword.
"Xiao Jiu was personally married by His Majesty. I'm afraid the Gu family will never have such an honor. You guys, you must be careful when speaking in front of Xiao Jiu from now on."
Gu Zhen, Gu Shan, and Gu Lin all bowed and said yes.
Only Gu Yue was tongue-tied, looking as if she had been irritated.
"It's all gone."
Everyone left the front hall one after another.
Gu Ting pulled Gu Jiu and frowned, he could crush a fly to death.
"How could my younger sister marry the emperor's grandson, this, this, this..."
Even after seeing the imperial decree with his own eyes, Gu Ting still couldn't believe it. He was also reluctant to marry Gu Jiu into the palace.
He looked at Gu Jiu worriedly, "My sister is suffering. Is there no way to reject this marriage?"
Gu Jiu shook her head, "I can't push it away."
Immediately afterwards, she laughed again, "Brother, don't worry about me, I'll be fine."
"How can it be okay. You are married to the grandson of the emperor, which means you have stepped into the den of right and wrong. In my heart, when I think of the messy things in the royal family, I am very worried."
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Ting and was touched.
She solemnly said to Gu Ting: "My brother is really worried about me. After the first month, I will practice hard with my uncle. When you become famous in the future, you can be my backer. Even if he is the grandson of the emperor, you don't have to be afraid of him." .”
Gu Ting held his head high, "What about the emperor's grandson, I'm sure I'm not afraid of him. If he dares to bully you, I'll beat him all over the place."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, my silly brother, do you really think that Liu Zhao is an aristocratic son of the clan who does not work hard
If Gu Ting didn't practice well, he might not be able to do a few tricks in Liu Zhao's hands.
Gu Jiu has never seen Liu Zhao strike, but according to her pulse and her observation, Liu Zhao's skill should be very good.
Don't look at Liu Zhao's appearance as a noble son, he has calluses on his hands. And according to the location of the calluses, it should be a long-term weapon.
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Ting, "Brother hasn't promised me yet, you have to practice hard."
Gu Ting nodded heavily, "Sister, don't worry, after the new year, I will go to the military camp with my uncle to practice, and I will definitely not disappoint you. If you are bullied in the future, don't hold back and beat him directly. If you can't win , you just wait for me to come back, and I will vent your anger on your behalf."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Thank you, brother. But brother, don't worry too much about me. I'm not stupid. I can't deal with ordinary problems."
Gu Ting grinned, "That's right."
Gu Jiu and Gu Ting parted ways and returned to Zhilan Courtyard.
Just two minutes after sitting down, the servant girl came to report, "Miss, Miss Eldest, Miss Third, Miss Fourth, Miss Fifth, and Miss Six are all here."
"Quickly invite big sister and all the younger sisters in."
Gu Zhen and the others filed in.
"Congratulations to Second Sister, congratulations to Second Sister."
Gu Zhen smiled and congratulated Gu Jiu first.
Gu Jiu pulled her, pushed her on the chair and sat down, "Sister, don't congratulate me. Didn't you see father's face? This marriage is not as good as you think."
Gu Yue frowned, feeling angry and annoyed.
"Is the second sister acting like a good girl after getting cheap?"
As soon as Gu Yue opened her mouth, there was a smell of gunpowder.
Gu Shan subconsciously wanted to stop Gu Yue, but then thought of Xie Shi's instructions, so she stopped.
Gu Yue sneered, "Second sister was accused of marrying the emperor's grandson. This is a great joy, and it's too late for others to envy. It's just that second sister said that this marriage is not as good as everyone thinks.
My younger sister doesn't study much, so I want to ask my second elder sister for advice. Marrying the emperor's grandson is not considered a good marriage. What kind of person do you have to marry to be considered a good marriage? "
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Yue with a half-smile, "The third younger sister said that it was too late for others to be envious when she just talked about this marriage. I would like to ask, who is envious? Will the sisters in the Hou Mansion be envious? Eldest sister, fourth younger sister, Will the fifth and sixth sisters be envious?"
Gu Zhen shook her head slightly, "It's really good to marry the grandson of the emperor, but if it's my turn, I definitely can't. So I really don't envy you."
Gu Lin and Gu Jun nodded together, they both had the same meaning as Gu Zhen.
They came here just to congratulate Gu Jiu. If they were to marry the emperor's grandson, they should hide in the room and never come out again.
Marrying the emperor's grandson sounds good, but when you think about it carefully, it's scary.
The grandson of the emperor, that is the grandson of the emperor. Marrying someone from the right family will inevitably lead to all sorts of messy things. Wouldn't it be terrible to marry into a palace.
With their abilities, they definitely cannot cope with the various situations in the palace.
Gu Jiu is the only one who dares to be tough with his wife to the end, marrying into the palace, probably won't be hard for her.
Gu Yue couldn't help but glared fiercely at the three concubine sisters.
She looked at Gu Shan again, "Fourth Sister, don't you envy Second Sister's marriage?"
Gu Shan looked calm, "I'm not envious, I'm just worried."
"What is there to worry about?" Gu Yue was annoyed, "She is going to marry the emperor's grandson, and she will make a fortune, so it's your turn to worry."
Gu Shan ignored Gu Yue's clamor, but asked Gu Jiu, "Young Master Zhao has several younger brothers. The second elder sister married and is the eldest daughter-in-law. But in terms of family background, our Gu family is indeed inferior to the authentic Xun Gui. When the time comes to face those sisters-in-law who come from noble backgrounds, what should Second Sister do?"
When Gu Yue heard this, he suddenly realized.
That's right, when the brothers of Gong Zizhao marry wives, they will definitely not marry the daughters of ordinary officials and aristocratic families, most of them will marry the daughters of honorable nobles.
In this way, Gu Jiu lowered others in terms of background.
Even the eldest daughter-in-law will be embarrassed everywhere. At that time, I am afraid that I will suffer a lot.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you, Fourth Sister, for your concern. I didn't think so long-term, but Fourth Sister would think about it for me first."
Gu Shan smiled embarrassingly, "I'm just worried about my second sister. Yesterday, I heard my mother discussing the marriage of my third sister. At that time, I was thinking, if my second sister married to the palace, how much dowry should I prepare? If the dowry is thin, it will be looked down upon.
Second sister, it's about the dowry, I can't help, so I ask second sister to be more considerate. "
"Fourth sister has a heart. You really think ahead than me."
Gu Shan's cheeks were flushed and she looked very shy. She humbly said a few words.
Gu Zhen answered, "The dowry for the second sister should be less than tens of thousands."
"How can there be so much money in the mansion." Gu Yue countered.
The word dowry stimulated Gu Yue.
Gu Zhen sneered, "Second sister is going to marry into the palace, her dowry is naturally inferior to that of third sister. Third sister, it's useless if you are not convinced, just accept your fate."
"Big sister, what do you mean by that? What do you mean I'm not as good as the second sister?"
Gu Yue refused. Her marriage has been suppressed by Gu Jiu.
Her dowry can no longer be overwhelmed by Gu Jiu.
Gu Zhen smiled contemptuously, "Isn't this your catchphrase, third sister? Back then, when Mrs. Hai Xibo came to see the marriage, she wanted to see me, but she was cut off by you, third sister. What did you say at that time?" , you are telling me to accept my fate, right?"
There was naked mockery in Gu Zhen's eyes.
She was so happy that Gu Jiu was able to overwhelm Gu Yue in marriage.
It made her happier than her own marriage.
She just wanted to see Gu Yue deflated, wanted to see Gu Yue beaten to pieces from all directions.
It's really cool, so cool.
Faced with Gu Zhen's schadenfreude, Gu Yue gritted her teeth.
"It turns out that eldest sister is still worried about it. Yesterday at the banquet in the mansion, the eldest aunt was so enthusiastic to arrange the marriage for the eldest sister. But I didn't expect that the eldest sister was still thinking about Zhao Silang from the Haixibo Mansion. If this matter was passed on to the eldest aunt I would like to ask, how would Big Sister explain it?"
Gu Yue stared at Gu Zhen, her eyes were full of malice, and she was determined to win the threat of success.
Gu Zhen smiled contemptuously, "You can do everything, why don't you let people tell you? Go tell your aunt and see if she will care about it?"
"you… "
Gu Yue didn't expect that Gu Zhen was not only not threatened by her, but instead looked confident.
It's annoying.
Gu Yue was furious, and said viciously: "Big sister, don't forget, after your marriage is settled, your mother will have to arrange the dowry for you."
Gu Zhen said: "Yes, my dowry has to be worked hard by my wife. But so what? Third sister, it is not what it used to be, don't you understand? You think you are still in the northwest, and your wife will not refute what you say ?"
Gu Zhen giggled, her eyes full of sarcasm.
Gu Yue's face changed drastically, and for the first time, anxiety flashed in his heart.
She looked towards Gu Shan, but Gu Shan avoided her gaze.
