The official media watched and watched more than a dozen grandchildren in the Bao Mansion, and because Yufu decided to let Lianzhu marry as his wife, the few who were already married were excluded.
After thousands of choices from the remaining few, the most suitable one was finally selected, which was the legitimate son of Bao Taifu's second son, Bao Gong, named Bao Chengzu. He was eighteen years old, and he had already passed the Juren examination last year. He only had to wait for Wenju High School Scholars two years later before he could enter the imperial court as an official.
"Your Majesty, although Mr. Bao is one year younger than Miss Lianzhu, his character and talent are top-notch. There is only such a legitimate son in the third house of Bao Mansion, and Miss Lianzhu will be a legitimate young mistress when she gets married. Will not be wronged."
Yu Fu didn't want to do more about marriages between men and women, so he only asked Lianzhu, and Lianzhu felt good about it, "It's okay to be one year younger, the servant only wants him to be a good person, so that he can serve His Majesty in the future."
Yaolan privately told Yufu that Lianzhu had been so happy after seeing Bao Chengzu's portrait, and said that this Mr. Bao was born with a beautiful appearance, which makes people forget the commonplace. She has been serving Yufu for so many years, she is used to seeing beauties, if you want her to talk to someone with ordinary appearance, she might not be able to speak.
Yu Fu couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, as long as she is satisfied, it doesn't matter what the reason is.
The Bao Mansion is also very satisfied with Lianzhu, they heard that she manages things in an orderly manner in front of the imperial court, and naturally she can manage the family affairs well in a small mansion.
Yufu also rewarded her with a generous dowry, and threatened that after Bao Chengzu won the Jinshi and became an official in the court in the future, he would definitely confer the title of Lianzhu.
Taifu Bao retired from his old age and returned to his hometown, not only won the title of Yipin Gong, but also watched his grandson marry a wife, and the marriage was blessed with infinite glory, he was extremely satisfied.
I'm afraid that in the future, my precious grandson and even great-grandchildren will be protected by this newly married granddaughter-in-law's relationship with the imperial court. He can return to his hometown for the elderly without worrying about his children and grandchildren.
The court also sent an official who was good at governing the region to Xikun to replace Yan Zheng, and asked Yan Zheng to come back and marry that Miss Wei family, and bestowed Fengguanxiapei, the fourth-rank imperial order on Miss Wei family.
All the happy events happened one after another, Lianzhu was the maid who went out from the Gu family, Yan Zheng was also the former member of the Gu family army, Gu Jiuge and others refused to slight them, and they all went to the wedding ceremony in person.
The busiest person was not Yufu, nor the people from Gu's residence, but Yuguan.
Both wedding banquets invited the best chef from Yushanlou in the capital to hold them. The family had over a hundred tables, so Yuguan, as the shopkeeper, had to worry about it.
His Yushan Building is from Dongling to Beili. Although the status of Yufu, the master behind the scenes, is getting higher and higher, it is so high that no one can match it, but Yuguan never takes the initiative to publicize it to others.
It is his business to manage the restaurant with peace of mind, supervise the chef to make the dishes well, and introduce better storytellers and musicians... If he can't do these things well, what qualifications does he have to use Yufu's signboard to attract customers for himself?
Just when Yuguan was very busy, Gu Wenqing helped him at the right time.
Just like when they were in Dongling before, the two dealt with the busy season with consideration and consideration. Guests from both Bao Mansion and Yan Mansion were full of praise for the dishes.
Yuguan stayed in the corner and watched the reactions of the guests, finally heaving a sigh of relief.
"Shopkeeper Yu, why don't you go have a drink? Yan Zheng said he would thank you personally!"
A strong hand came up behind him, Yuguan was startled, and when he turned around, it was Gu Wenqing.
Only then did he relax, "You have practiced in the army a while ago, and recently served in the Ministry of War, it seems that you have become much stronger."
Gu Wenqing said helplessly: "Now I don't study drama anymore, it's better to be stronger. You have been the shopkeeper of Yushan Building for so long, but you are not fat at all."
Yuguan was silent, and after a while he said: "I work in the building during the day, and I always practice by myself when I go back to my room at night. Although it was a last resort to become an actor in the theater troupe, but after so many years, it's really hard to give up. I can't let it go. Fortunately, you have learned from me not long ago, so let it go."
Gu Wenqing smiled, "At the beginning, I was worried that it would cause talk in the house, so I had no choice but to let it go. Although I let it go, I still don't think it's a lowly thing, and I still like it when I watch the stage. "
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the stage not far away, and it was singing the fairy dance, which was specially invited by Yuguan to express his congratulations to Yan Zheng and his wife on their wedding.
Yuguan looked at the stage and showed a warm smile, "Yes. I went to Guhou Mansion for the first time and sang on stage like this. Now let me sit down and drink with those adults, but I feel a little uncomfortable comfortable."
Gu Wenqing said: "You are fooling me, you are the shopkeeper of the majestic Yushan Building, everyone knows that the owner behind you is extraordinary. Over the years, how many officials and nobles from Dongling or Beili have you made friends with? Are you uncomfortable?"
Yuguan lowered his head and smiled, looked at the babbling singing of Huadan waving his sleeves on the stage, and suddenly said: "Even Yan Zheng is married, don't you think about when you will marry a wife?"
Gu Wenqing was taken aback for a moment, he really hadn't thought about this question.
"Big Brother and Yu Fu are already married, and the children of the second brother and the second sister-in-law are both born. Although the third brother hasn't revealed anything, he likes the girl from Li's family very much. Even Gu Yi is married to Yun Yan, and I'm the only one left at home. I haven't found a relationship with Gu Xiang yet. I thought about it when many girls in Beijing came to the door to say goodbye, but I always feel that I haven't met the person I want. "
The corner of Yuguan's mouth was slightly raised, "I think our fourth son's eyes are higher than the top, and he insists on marrying a beautiful and well-educated noble lady. He doesn't like those ordinary people?"'
Gu Wenqing laughed, "Are you here to tease me too? How many years have we known each other? Am I like this?"
He is the most gentle and kind-hearted person, never looked down on lowly and lowly people, and in the matter of getting married, he would not refuse to marry someone who is superior to others.
Yuguan knew his temperament, and what he just said was just a temptation, so he just smiled and said nothing.
Gu Wenqing suddenly changed the subject, "What about you? You are not young anymore. You used to say that your foundation is not settled and you don't want to get married. You may delay the daughter of a good family. Now that your status is different, when do you plan to marry a wife?"
Yuguan suddenly muttered, his face turned reddish.
In the past few years, his business in Yushan Building has been flourishing. Others said that he does not look like an ordinary businessman. No wonder the powerful owner behind the scenes chose him to be the shopkeeper.
But in front of Gu Wenqing, he is still the jade official with elegant sleeves, singing the operas like water passing by, with a gentle smile under the makeup on the corners of his eyes and brows.
"I don't want a wife."
"Don't want to marry a wife?"
Gu Wenqing was stunned for a moment, how can a man in this world not want to marry a wife
Yuguan said: "Is it true that men must marry wives, and women must marry others? Is it true that people must pass on the family line and continue the incense, and can't they come and go naked?"
Gu Wenqing said with a smile: "This is the drama about getting drunk and hitting the mountain gate, right? You, although singing is good, don't be fooled by the drama for life. That monk Hua is a wandering rivers and lakes person, so naturally he can say that he comes and goes naked without any worries. words. But you don’t have nothing, why do you have to do yourself like this?”
Yuguan also laughed, "But if I don't think I'm insulting myself, but I feel happy not to marry a wife, do you still object to my not marrying a wife?"
Gu Wenqing was stunned again.
I always feel that today's Yuguan speaks strangely, making it difficult for him to understand for a while, and he doesn't know how to reply.
But things in this world, after all, isn’t happiness the word
He nodded, "Of course, if you really don't want to marry a wife and feel happy about it, I will naturally support you as a friend. If one day you want to marry a wife, you will marry again. With your appearance, you will be at least four years old. You can still marry a wife at the age of ten."
Yuguan couldn't help covering his mouth with a smile and said: "This is the benefit of Beili, the folk customs are open. If in Dongling, a man who is over twenty-five years old and still doesn't marry a wife will be regarded as a hidden disease, and he won't say anything about it. relative."
"Twenty-five..."
Gu Wenqing counted with his fingers, and Shi Guang flicked his fingers. He might not know when he will be twenty-five, but he hasn't met a suitable woman yet.
Yuguan said: "Why, do you plan to marry again when you are twenty-five?"
Gu Wenqing hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand nonchalantly, "So what if you don't get married by the age of twenty-five? At that time, we old brothers will support each other, drink and sing together, sing operas and set up the stage together, and enjoy the world together!"
The jade official told him to speak, and he couldn't help showing yearning, and thought of something, and hurriedly lowered his head.
"You coax me, even if you don't meet the woman you like and don't marry, how can Gu Houye agree? He is from Dongling, and he abides by the etiquette of Dongling people in his bones. How can he let his son not marry a wife?"
Gu Wenqing heard the words: "Father has too many sons, he can't control me. But Yunyan reminded me last time when my second sister-in-law gave birth. She said that my father has so many sons, and there will be many grandchildren in the future. There is no shortage of grandchildren." The child in her stomach. She is afraid of pain and does not want to have a child!"
The two of them laughed out loud when they said this, Su Yunyan's temperament Yuguan had also heard about it, so it sounded like she said it.
Yuguan hurriedly said: "Then it's settled, neither of us will marry a wife, and we will keep each other company and support each other when we grow old!"
Gu Wenqing frowned slightly, and gave him a strange look, "Do you really hope that I will never meet the girl I like in my life?"
Yes, what he said was not to marry until he met the girl he liked, not to decide not to marry for the rest of his life.
His mind is different from his own after all.
Yuguan smiled lightly, "Of course not, it's just that if you don't meet, you can let me have a good dream?"
"It's easy to say, easy to say."
Gu Wenqing hugged him aggressively, "Go and have a drink first, today is Yan Zheng's big day, you have to give him some face..."
In the royal garden, the autumn colors are glorious.
Most of the trees in the capital are trees with distinct seasons. In spring and summer, there are green shades and canopies, and in autumn and winter, the leaves are falling, and the ground is golden.
Unlike the trees in Lin'an, many of them are evergreen all the year round, and they don't look lonely in autumn and winter.
The craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were very careful. After Yufu returned to Beijing last year, he planted many autumn flowering trees such as osmanthus, oleander and hibiscus in the imperial garden.
Yes, although the autumn scenery in front of you is also full of falling leaves, there is even more fragrance of flowers and sweetness. Looking around, the golden color is mixed with emerald green and red, which is really beautiful.
On the edge of the laurel garden, two screens are placed together, and hot white air escapes from them.
I saw a small round table inside, with two layers of steamers covered with lids, surrounded by ten dishes of small dishes, such as bad goose and preserved meat.
There is also a bronze unicorn wine warmer, in which a black silver self-pouring jug is warmed, and a few small white jade wine cups are randomly placed beside it.
The maid stepped forward and raised her hand, and lifted the lid of the steamer. For a while, white air was flying all over her eyes. It took a while to see the hairy crabs with huge heads, yellow shells and tender meat in the drawer.
Yufu was holding the wine glass, holding a yellow chrysanthemum picked from nowhere in his hand, "Crab claws are golden liquid, and bad hills are Penglai. You must drink fine wine and ride the moon to get drunk on the high platform."
After finishing speaking, he threw the chrysanthemum and rushed towards the crab.
Yao Lan picked out a plate of crab meat for her earlier, and mixed finely minced ginger and vinegar in it, Yu Fu took a bite with silver chopsticks and put it in her mouth, feeling the fragrance on her lips and teeth.
"It's much better than crab cakes. If I eat crabs every day, I won't eat crab cakes."
She was drunk, Gu Shubai stepped forward and sat beside her to support her, Yufu looked up at him, "Big Brother, where have you been?"
Gu Shubai smiled and took out a bunch of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers from behind, and carefully stuck them on her temples, "It's so pretty."
Yu Fu couldn't see it, but he could smell the fragrance. If he wore the sweet-scented osmanthus for a day, his head would be full of fragrance when he took off his bun at night.
She was so happy that she pushed the crab dish to him, "Try it quickly, this autumn crab is very fat."
Gu Shubai didn't move, but opened his mouth slightly, as if waiting for her to feed him.
Yu Fu was grinning, carefully took a chopstick of crab meat mixed with minced ginger and sent it to his mouth, staring at him chewing and swallowing.
Even the swallowing action is so beautiful.
Gu Shubai couldn't help nodding his head, "It's delicious, but it's a pity that we can't eat it every day. We won't see such autumn crabs in half a month."
Yu Fu woke up immediately when he heard the words, "Really? Then eat crabs for a few days, every meal."
Gu Shubai took a big crab casually, first broke off the eight crab legs one by one, then accurately uncovered the navel at the back of the crab shell, and finally opened the crab shell.
The fresh and fragrant breath immediately attracted Yu Fu's attention.
While picking the crab meat, Gu Shubai said, "Crabs are cold in nature, you, as a woman, should not eat more."
The implication is that she rejected her request to eat every day.
Yu Fu couldn't help being discouraged, thinking about himself as the king of a country, it would be too embarrassing to let people know that he was arguing endlessly with Gu Shubai because of crabs.
She immediately made up her mind, "Okay, then eat it every other day."
Gu Shubai raised his head to look at her, and Yufu was alert immediately, "There is no need to discuss it! At most, I will eat less at a time."
Forget it, anyway, as he was watching, she couldn't eat as much as she wanted.
Gu Shu picked the crab meat quickly with his eyes and hands, and said, "If you eat too much crab, you will easily accumulate cold air. When you fell into the water when you were young, your body is already colder than ordinary women. If you eat too much crab, you will suffer when you give birth in the future."
He picked up the picked crab meat and fed it to Yufu's mouth. Yufu said with satisfaction: "I am a disciple of Immortal Valley, don't you know this? Besides, I don't want to give birth early, so I have time to take care of it slowly." .”
Gu Shubai frowned slightly, stopped what he was doing and approached her ear, "What method did you use?"
He knew that Yufu would have many ways to not want to have children, but he had never heard her mention it on weekdays, so he couldn't help but be a little curious.
If you take medicine or something, you are afraid of hurting her body.
Yu Fu seemed to understand what he was worried about, and said, "Don't worry, the medicine is for you, it won't harm me."
Gu Shubai's face suddenly turned green.
When did she drug herself
Yu Fu swallowed the crab meat in his mouth, and quickly comforted him, "Brother, don't be angry. I guarantee that this medicine will not harm your body at all. When you want to have children in the future, you don't need this medicine. I promise , you will definitely have a white and fat son, just like Yuanzhang, okay?"
Gu Shubai snorted, he rarely showed such an expression in front of Yufu, "Who said I like my son? I want a white and chubby little princess."
Yu Fu rested his chin and thought carefully, "I don't know about this, there is not even a shadow now, how can I know if it is the little prince or the little princess?"
Gu Shubai casually picked up the handkerchief in the maid's hand, wiped his hands, and suddenly leaned in front of her, Yu Fu subconsciously closed his eyes.
No, she hasn't wiped her mouth yet!
When he was about to push Gu Shubai away, he leaned close to his temple and sniffed lightly, "This sweet-scented osmanthus is really fragrant."
It turned out that she was thinking too much.
Yu Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and saw him meet her eyes with a smile, "Have you eaten enough? If you have had enough, let's go back."
"What are you going back for?"
Yu Fu hasn't eaten enough yet, so he is reluctant to part with him.
"Go back and try to get the shadow out first."
