Twenty-five, everything is fine.
Today, Gu Mei got married.
Gu Jiu and the others rushed to the Hou Mansion to send off their marriage.
Looking at Gu Mei wearing a bright red wedding dress and bridal makeup, she is so beautiful!
The heavy bridal make-up could not conceal Gu Mei's beauty like a flower.
"Sister Mei, you are so beautiful."
Gu Mei smiled shyly, followed by a deep sense of reluctance.
She took Gu Jiu's hand, "Sister Xiao Jiu, I can't bear you. We won't be able to study together in the school from now on."
"Brother-in-law of the Han family is accompanying Sister Mei to study."
"You made fun of me again. When you get married, I will definitely make fun of you."
"Sister Mei, feel free to cancel me, I'm not afraid."
Gu Mei laughed, pinched Gu Jiu's cheeks, her skin was smooth and tender, "I know you have a thick skin, I can't compare to you."
After a pause, she continued: "Sister Xiaojiu will have any troubles in the future. If you can't solve them, you can send someone to find me. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Mei. With your words, I feel very at ease. You are really beautiful today, Brother-in-law Han will definitely be dumbfounded. I have to tell the person who is going to marry me to let them Don't forget to laugh at brother-in-law Han."
"He's thin-skinned, don't laugh too hard."
Gu Jiu laughed loudly, "Sister Mei started to think about Brother-in-law Han before she got married. You really are a husband and wife."
"If I don't tell you, I will make fun of me."
The servant girl Panchun came in from the outside and whispered to Gu Mei, "Girl, people from Jia's residence are here."
Gu Mei frowned, "What are they here for? The sister-in-law's dowry has been returned to Jia's family, so they still have a face?"
Pan Chun said: "Jia's mansion came to the door with a gift, saying it was to congratulate the girl on her wedding. If you don't hit the smiling face with your hand, it's not good for Madam to drive them out."
Gu Mei snorted coldly, she looked down on the Jia family.
"Don't let the Jia family entangle the elder brother. The elder brother still misses his sister-in-law in his heart. The Jia family just wants to take advantage of this and stuff their girls into the elder brother's house. It's wishful thinking. Tell me, it should be carried Stick, beat the Jia family out."
Panchun had a bitter face, "The Jia family has already entangled the young master."
"what?"
Gu Mei was furious, "The Jia family is too shameless, why don't they pay attention at all?"
Gu Mei pretends to go out and teach the Jia family a lesson for Gu Rui.
Gu Jiu and Pan Chun stopped her together.
Gu Jiu persuaded: "Sister Mei, you are a bride today, so don't move around. I think we should give the hall brother a little more trust. As the eldest grandson of the Hou family, he still has the means to deal with the Jia family."
Gu Mei frowned, "I'm worried that my elder brother will be soft-hearted and will be manipulated by the Jia family."
Gu Jiu didn't think so.
Gu Rui is the eldest grandson carefully cultivated by the Hou Mansion. Almost all the high-quality resources of the Hou Mansion are poured into Gu Rui.
Gu Rui is resourceful and resourceful, and he has lived up to the training that the Hou Fu has given him.
In the past, he just loved Jia Shi so much that he lost his ego and principles.
However, now that Jia Shi has passed away, that love has been buried in Gu Rui's heart.
The Jia family wanted to take advantage of Jia's family's love for Gu Rui, but they were afraid they would fail.
Gu Jiu said: "Sister Mei, you're just too worried. The hall brother has not experienced any storms in all these years, and he broke through all by himself. The Jia family's plan to stuff the girl to the hall brother to fill the house is just wishful thinking. Just don't worry about it, and be your bride at ease."
Gu Mei sighed, "It's not that I'm just worrying about it. Sister Xiaojiu didn't see how ugly the Jia family's face was when they came to ask for their sister-in-law's dowry. This is a family scandal, and I shouldn't have said it outside. I really can't hold back, I have to say a few words."
Gu Jiu sat down beside Gu Mei, "Sister Mei, tell me, I'll listen."
Gu Mei sighed, "In the past, when Mr. Jia was still there, the Jia family was really good, everything looked good.
Ever since Mr. Jia passed away, the Jia family began to go downhill. The Jia family's face became more and more ugly, and they became more and more philistine, and they all got into the eyes of money.
It's really disgusting for the Hou Mansion to be in-laws with such a family.
I'm not saying that the sister-in-law is not good, the sister-in-law is quite good, but she is weak in body and mind, and it is not easy to give birth.
To tell the truth to my sister Xiaojiu, my mother, as a mother-in-law, never said a harsh word to my sister-in-law.
I always say that my mother is the best mother-in-law in the world. My sister-in-law is really lucky to meet my elder brother and my mother. It's a pity that she doesn't care about her own happiness. "
Gu Jiu also sighed for Jia Shi.
As far as she could see, Gu Rui might not be perfect, but he put his heart and soul on Jia Shi, there is no doubt about it.
As for Mrs. Xiao Wei, at least the part that Gu Jiu saw was pretty good.
Gu Jiu said: "The sister-in-law in the lobby has passed away, so we won't talk about her."
Gu Mei nodded, "I'm the one who talks too much, and I should avoid it."
She told the maid, Panchun, to go outside and watch. If the Jia family dares to mess up, report it immediately.
Panchun took the order and left.
Gu Jiu said, "Sister Mei, you really love to worry."
Gu Mei also laughed at herself, "Maybe I'm just a caring person."
The auspicious time is approaching, and the team to welcome the relatives has arrived at the Hou Mansion.
Gu Rui took the opportunity to get away, and led people to block the gate to prevent him from entering, to test the groom's talents.
After a commotion for a while, the bridegroom officer entered the door smoothly.
Gu Mei bid farewell to her parents and family, and Gu Rui carried her into the sedan chair.
The road to the bridal sedan was very slow.
Gu Mei asked in a low voice: "Brother, the Jia family didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
Gu Rui said: "Don't worry about me, I will take care of the Jia family."
"The Jia family wants you to marry a girl from the Jia family to fill in the house, but you must not agree."
Gu Rui smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not that confused. You go to the Daihou Mansion and live a good life with Han Dalang. If you are wronged, you come back and I will vent your anger for you."
Gu Mei pursed her lips and nodded, "Be gentle when you hit Han Dalang."
Gu Rui couldn't help laughing, "I'm starting to care about it now, it's really a girl who is extroverted."
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm afraid that my brother will suffer."
"A mere Han Dalang, it's easy to take him down."
The bridal sedan is approaching, Gu Mei vaguely sees it through the red hijab.
She bit her lip, very reluctant.
"Brother, you must be good and marry a good girl. I don't want to see you haggard for someone again. Although it is unfair to the future sister-in-law. But I am so selfish, I hope you can it is good."
"Don't worry about me, live your little life well. I will wait for you in the mansion when you come back from Sanchao. At that time, I will drink Han Dalang's wine. They say that you can see the character on the wine table, so I will try it." Test his character."
"It's too late for you to test his character. I'm married to him."
Gu Rui laughed, "I'm glad to see that you guys agree with each other."
He sent Gu Mei into the sedan chair, and said solemnly: "Take care of yourself, don't wrong yourself, we don't want you to be wronged."
Gu Mei burst into tears, "Brother, I also miss you both."
"Don't cry, be careful to make up for crying, it won't look good."
Gu Mei bit her lip tightly, holding back her tears, not letting them fall.
Xi Niang urged the sedan chair to get up, saying that the auspicious time should not be delayed.
Gu Rui felt sad.
Han Dalang cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will treat her well."
Gu Rui said with a straight face, "If you don't treat her well, just wait for my three-foot green peak."
Han Dalang nodded solemnly, rode out of the Marquis Mansion, followed by the bridal sedan chair.
Gu Jiu stood in the crowd, watching the sedan chair go out, feeling reluctance in her heart.
Gu Zhen wiped the corners of her eyes, she was crying.
Soon it was her turn to get married, and suddenly she felt a deep sense of reluctance.
"Second sister, will we all be happy?"
Gu Jiu nodded and said affirmatively, "We will all be happy."
After a pause, she said again: "Don't worry, big sister. The Xu family is a good family."
Gu Zhen nodded, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, she also needs to keep her spirits up and not let people gossip.
Next, everyone went back to the flower hall to have a banquet.
Gu Rui was entangled again by the Jia family.
The Jia family seemed to have decided on Gu Rui.
Gu Rui was careless and impatient, thanks to his good temper, he didn't turn his face because of this old relationship.
Gu Jiu thought for a while, and called Qingmei, "Go, please come here, Brother Tang. He said I have something urgent to ask him for help."
"Slave is going here."
"Bring Wang Yi along."
Gu Jiu was worried that Qingmei would suffer.
Qingmei and Wang Yi went to invite Gu Rui together.
Gu Rui seemed to have found a savior, and took the opportunity to get rid of the Jia family.
The Jia family had no choice but to watch Gu Rui escape again.
When Gu Rui saw Gu Jiu, he hurriedly said, "Thank you sister Xiao Jiu for your help."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "It's nothing, I just did it conveniently."
After a pause, Gu Jiu asked, "Is it difficult for the Jia family to deal with it?"
Gu Rui smiled wryly, "They are all Mingyue's family members. For Mingyue's sake, it's not good to tear them apart. Fortunately, I will return to the military camp to work in a while. When they want to find me, they can't find me. "
Gu Rui was still too kind, for the sake of the Jia family, he forcibly endured the Jia family's unreasonable pestering.
Otherwise, with the means of the eldest wife Xiao Wei, the Jia family would have been torn apart and driven out.
Gu Jiu saw that Gu Rui didn't want to mention the Jia family's affairs, so she took the initiative to change the subject, "Why didn't the big hall brother go to marry him?"
It stands to reason that Gu Rui is Sister Mei's eldest brother and should be married off.
Gu Rui said: "I voluntarily observe Mingyue's filial piety for a year, and it is inconvenient to go to Daihou's mansion to send her off."
I see.
"The big brother has a deep affection for the big sister-in-law. I think the big sister-in-law has a spirit in heaven, and I must hope that the big brother can live a good life in the future."
Gu Rui nodded, "I will. Sister Xiaojiu, hurry up and take a seat. Thank you for your hard work today."
"Not hard."
The banquet was very sumptuous, and everyone ate to their satisfaction.
In the afternoon, I went to listen to the play again.
Gu Jiu was listening to a play when a servant girl came to her side, "Second Miss, Madam, please go over and talk."
Gu Jiu glanced at the theater building, "Is the old lady upstairs?"
The servant girl shook her head, "The old lady is not resistant to heat, she has gone back to her room to rest. The second girl can go directly to Songhe Hall."
"Thank you."
Gu Jiu got up and took the maid to Songhe Hall.
In the main room of Songhe Hall, there is an ice basin.
The servant girl took a round fan and fanned the old lady Wei.
The old lady Wei said with emotion, "I didn't expect that the older I get, the more I can't tolerate heat. I'm afraid I won't live for many years."
Nanny Yu hurriedly said: "The old lady will surely live a long life."
The old lady Wei waved her hand, "If you really live to be a hundred years old, then you will really be immortal. My children and grandchildren don't know how disgusted they are."
"Old lady, please don't say that. All the gentlemen and wives are extremely filial."
At this time, the servant girl came in to report, "Old lady, Miss Xiaojiu is here."
"Ask her to come in."
Gu Jiu walked into the main room of Songhe Hall, and first greeted the old lady Wei.
The old lady Wei smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu, sit next to the old man."
Gu Jiu followed the example of kindness and sat down beside the old lady Wei Shi.
The old lady Wei took her hand and looked at her secretly, "Look at you growing taller again?"
Gu Jiu frowned, and said with a smile, "I did grow a little taller this year, and the dress I made at the beginning of the year was already short, so I put a section of hem on purposely."
The old lady Wei said cheerfully, "It seems that your body is really healthy."
"Madam Tired is worried that her grandniece is indeed recovering."
"It's so good."
The old lady Wei looked hesitant.
Gu Jiu asked in a low voice: "The old lady called her grandniece over, did something happen?"
The old lady Wei said: "In a few months, you will be married to Prince Ning's Mansion. I'm thinking about the matter of the royal family, so I should tell you in detail."
Gu Jiu immediately straightened her back. What she lacks most now is news about the royal family and the palace. I feel like I am deaf and blind. Most of the time, the news she gets is not known how many beats behind others.
The old lady Wei waved her hand first, and all the maids retreated, while Nanny Yu stood guard at the door.
Then, the old lady Wei lowered her voice and said to Gu Jiu: "Mei Mei, do you know?"
Gu Jiu nodded, Concubine Mei's name was like thunder to her ears.
Just because Concubine Mei tortured the eighth princess to death, the emperor launched a big cleansing in the palace. Even King Ning was dispatched to Beiman Mountain to guard the imperial mausoleum.
The old lady Wei said: "Concubine Mei committed suicide yesterday."
Gu Jiu's heart skipped a beat, "Do you want to kill yourself or be killed?"
The old lady Wei nodded secretly, her response was very quick, not bad. Being in the royal family, one must not be unresponsive.
"It doesn't matter whether Concubine Mei chooses to commit suicide or is committed suicide. With Concubine Mei's death, it is estimated that the cleaning of the palace will soon be over. Next, those princes and princes, relatives and relatives, have to be careful. "
Gu Jiu's expression froze, the palace was on fire, did you finally burn the fire to the royal family members
Gu Jiu asked in a low voice: "Prince Ning has been sent to guard the imperial tomb, so the Palace of Ning Palace should be fine for the time being."
The old lady Wei shook her head slowly, "Don't forget that the eldest grandson of the emperor is practicing in the Beijing camp. As I remember, the son Zhao is also practicing in the Beijing camp.
If these two people can restrain themselves and not cause trouble, Prince Ning's Mansion should be able to survive the second fire burned by the emperor safely.
If the eldest grandson of the emperor and the son Zhao deliberately disagreed, and the two made a noise, the emperor's eyes would naturally be attracted to Prince Ning's mansion.
At that time, whether King Ning's Mansion can survive safely depends on luck. "
Gu Jiu frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Will it affect the marriage between my grandniece and Gong Zizhao?"
The old lady Wei also lowered her voice, and said: "That's why I called you here. No matter what the situation of Prince Ning's mansion is, as long as the person is not dead, you don't need to be filial, and you have to marry him as your wife.
It is possible that as soon as you marry, you will face confinement, or even be demoted as a commoner. Xiao Jiu, are you ready? "
Gu Jiu's complexion changed slightly at first, and then he said calmly, "If you go back to the old lady, your grandniece is ready."
Marrying Gong Zizhao is a doomed thing, she has no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward. However, she firmly believes that if she insists on rushing forward, she will always be able to break out a bright road.
The old lady Wei nodded secretly, not to mention anything else, Gu Jiu's composure is very good.
The old lady Wei reminded Gu Jiu, "Just in case, Xiao Jiu, you have to make preparations in advance. In terms of money, you should be more careful. If something happens to Prince Ning's mansion, no amount of human relationship will be worth it."
Gu Jiu stood up and thanked him solemnly, "Thank you for reminding me, my grandniece, my grandniece will remember my teachings."
"Don't be so polite."
The old lady Wei personally pulled Gu Jiu up, "Besides money, you also have to plan ahead for the people around you.
The maids around you are all excellent, but when you arrive at the palace, the maids around you can't help you except to take care of you.
You lack an old man who understands the situation of the royal family in the palace. With such a person by your side, you can calmly deal with any changes. "
"Madam, please help me!" Gu Jiu solemnly asked.
The old lady Wei laughed, "Little clever ghost. Nanny Fang, please come out and meet this girl Xiaojiu."
Gu Jiu looked behind the screen curiously.
A serious-faced, unsmiling, old-fashioned dress, watching the difficult nanny come out from behind the screen.
The old lady Wei said to Gu Jiu: "Nurse Fang used to serve by the concubine Hui's side. After the concubine Hui disappeared, she has been working in the palace and only came out of the palace two years ago. I don't trust you, so I will Ask Nanny Fang to help you for a while. Nanny Fang insists on testing you before deciding whether to help."
