Hua Yang knew what the man was thinking, but he made up his mind to ignore it. He would have to ignore him for a few days before he knew how powerful the old Prince Qi's house was.
She thought to herself: "What do you think of the second girl's marriage?"
Second Master Gu said angrily: "It's not like we belong to this room, so why bother? Let the boss make his own decision."
"If a concubine can marry into the Chancellor's Mansion, what else can be decided? In my opinion, the most important thing is to agree to it readily."
Gu Erye sat up from the bed in a hurry: "That man even lost his third wife. He is as old as me and his son and daughter are ready to get married. How can you ask the second girl to get married?"
"How can you marry me? Just marry her like this. Whose family is she? Who is your Gu family member? If it really happens, it will be the manifestation of your Gu family's ancestors."
"You..." Mr. Gu was furious.
It turns out that the person Bingren was talking about for the second lady was Gao Xiaofeng, the thirty-six-year-old eldest son of Gao Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry.
When it comes to Gao Xiaofeng, I can honestly say that he has memorized it.
The first wife, in her prime, contracted a strange disease and died, leaving behind a son and a daughter.
The second marriage continued, but she still got a strange disease. Three years after entering the house, she left a son behind.
The third wife's life was even shorter. She didn't even have a son and a half daughters left behind, so she went to look for the first two sisters.
There are rumors in the capital that this son is destined to be a mistress, and the women who follow him will not live long. Some people also say that Gao Xiaofeng has a quirk and likes to raise big dogs. He often sleeps with dogs in the same room, which scares women to death.
The rumors are getting worse and worse. Who among the high-ranking families in the capital is willing to marry off their pampered daughter to die. Of course, there are also those who covet the family status of Shangshu Mansion. After thinking about it secretly, compared with family status and fate, life is more important.
Gu Erye slapped the edge of the bed and said angrily: "Aren't you asking her to die alive?"
"Death?"
The princess squinted her eyes and sneered: "My good second master, I heard that there is a vacant position for a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. If the second master is not willing, just go back to his house, so as not to let others say that our Gu family is here again." Do that thing where you sell your daughter for glory.”
"Doctor from the Ministry of Industry?"
Gu Erye's expression changed, he hesitated, and whispered: "How about oil and water?"
Hua Yang deliberately pondered for a while and said with a smile: "I haven't heard anything about You Shui, but the position of the Ministry of Industry..."
"how?"
"It's quite relaxing."
Huayang stood up, blew out the candle, and lay down in the inner room.
In the darkness, Mr. Gu opened his bright eyes and frowned in thought.
In the east garden, Gu Shilang and his wife also discussed Qingzhi's marriage for half the night.
The two discussed that although the family of this high-ranking family was high, it was obviously not worth the gain to let their daughter die in vain.
What if, like Gao Xiaofeng's third wife, nothing is left behind, it would be a waste of time.
Although the second girl is a concubine, she has been raised by the wife since she was a child and behaves in a good manner. Finding a good family will also be a help to their big house if they become prosperous in the future.
The Gao family saw many benefits before their eyes, but Gao Xiaofeng was not very decent after all. If this matter were to be spread outside, the reputation of the Gu family would not be good.
The two made up their minds and decided to push off the marriage.
In Shouan Hall, Mrs. Wei locked herself in the small Buddhist hall to chant sutras.
Lian Ping, the personal maid, saw that it was getting late and boldly came to urge her several times.
Mrs. Wei moved the Buddhist beads and said, "It will be twelve tomorrow. It is already the seventh day since the two girls went to that mansion."
"Tomorrow won't be the seventh day. The second lady is coming back."
Wei whispered: "I don't know how she is doing in that mansion?"
Lian Ping had followed Madam for nearly five years and knew Madam's thoughts best. She walked in and said, "Madam, the princess will take Miss Ling to pick her up in person tomorrow. In the evening, the Princess told Grandma to prepare some preparations." It’s the New Year’s gift.”
Wei had known about this for a long time, but she just kept it in her heart and didn't make any announcement. It was clear what the second daughter-in-law had in mind, and she was also thinking of stuffing her daughter into that house.
He is not stupid. He knows that the house is noble, has the royal favor, and has very good rules. If the girl can marry him, she will have happiness for the rest of her life.
Wei gritted her teeth and said solemnly: "It depends on the fate of the second girl."
The seven days have expired and this is the last day for acupuncture.
Qingguan got up early and asked Chunni to stay in the room to pack the boxes and cages, while he followed the maids of the Jiang family to perform acupuncture on their ancestors.
Because it was the last time, all the couples from the third room in the house were in front of me.
After Qingguan applied the needle, he pondered and made up a new prescription. After handing it over to his servant, he walked up to his ancestor and said, "Add a few herbs. Let's take it first and see if it has miraculous effects."
The ancestor said kindly: "I feel that my body is getting looser and looser every day, and I want to walk around in the garden."
Qingguan smiled and said: "You can't walk around for another seven days. You have to take advantage of the sunshine in the afternoon and don't let the cold wind blow. I won't say more. The ancestors must be obedient and must not act willfully. Let the master and madam be in trouble."
As soon as these words came out, the three ladies behind them covered their headscarves and laughed. Only this child dared to say this. If anyone else said it, they would be hit by the cane.
The ancestor also laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes, and said: "In just a few days, you child turned your elbows outward. My ancestors hurt you in vain."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Zhu walked in enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Ancestor, the Gu family has come to pick someone up. It was the second grandma who came to pick her up personally."
Princess Huayang came to pick her up? Qingguan frowned, what kind of singing was this
The ancestor looked at the person in front of the bed and said to the three daughters-in-law: "You go to welcome me and say a few good words to this child."
The three ladies heard clearly and nodded in agreement.
Qingguan saluted his ancestors, then saluted the three masters, straightened his back and left.
Mrs. Zhu followed up quietly, held the handkerchief and whispered: "Sister, sister-in-law, just tell me if you have something to say. You will be fine after taking those few patches of medicine. Sister-in-law will come back to ask for some medicine."
Mrs. Zhu often went to Qingguan courtyard these days. After a few days together, the two gradually became familiar with each other and changed their names.
Qingguan stopped and said with a smile: "Nonsense, can you take medicine casually?"
Zhu shamelessly stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Good sister, please diagnose me again."
Qingguan pushed her hand away, took out two prescriptions from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "No need to diagnose, I have already prescribed the prescription, and I am waiting for you to come and ask for it from me. Take it internally, wash it externally, and it will take ten days." Can be eradicated.”
Mrs. Zhu was surprised and happy, and said with an angry smile: "My sister still loves me. Come on, I will take my sister out."
Mrs. Zhu led the Qing and Guan sisters into the flower hall. The Huayang mother and daughter had already had half a cup of tea.
Ms. Zhang sat at the top with a smile on her face, and the other two ladies sat at the bottom.
After sitting down, Hua Yang smiled and said, "I wonder if these two girls have caused any trouble to the family."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "I can't find such a well-educated and courteous young lady in the whole capital. Our ancestors praise her every day."
Huayang's heart froze. A young lady who had just been cured of her madness, who could not even read a single Chinese character, was praised for being knowledgeable and courteous. She was simply telling lies with her eyes wide open.
She had an idea and said with a smile: "That is the kindness of our ancestors. Yan Ling, please pay your regards to the ladies."
Today, Wu Yanling wore a honey-colored large-flowered peony brocade long coat with a sapphire hairpin inlaid on her head. She walked forward and bowed one by one.
Seeing this, Qingguan exchanged glances with her second sister, thinking that Princess Huayang had brought her after all.
Mrs. Zhang looked at Wu Yanling calmly, with a hint of shock in her eyes.
Her natal family comes from a scholarly family, and the rules in the house are very strict. She has always been strict about obeying her father at home, her husband when going out, and her son in death.
This Princess of Huayang, whose husband died only half a year ago, remarried with her daughter, which shows that family rules are sparse and ordinary, and she never expected to raise a daughter so gentle and dignified.
Ms. Zhang sincerely praised her: "What a beautiful lady, she looks like she stepped out of a painting."
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is right, but it compares to those in our house."
Han laughed and said, "It's really hard to take your eyes away."
Each sentence sounded better than the last, and Wu Yanling lowered her head in shame.
The three ladies each took the gift they had prepared from the maid and handed it to Wu Yanling.
When Hua Yang saw this situation, he couldn't help but be happy. He was about to brag about his daughter, but Zhang had already spoken.
"The ancestors said that Miss Six is right for her, and she will have to live with her often in the future. The princess will not be reluctant to let her go when the time comes."
Princess Huayang felt a little embarrassed, why did this sound a bit awkward, and what did she mean by reluctance? She wished that her ancestors would call people over every day, so that Sister Ling could get some glory.
Mrs. Zhao stroked Qing Guan's smooth and soft face and sighed: "Good boy, what kind of injustice did you suffer in that mansion? You can eat and play whatever you want, just send someone here."
Qingguan smiled and said: "Thank you madam for loving me. You're welcome to look back, Qingguan."
These words sounded even more awkward, and Huayang hesitated again.
Zhu said with a smile: "Silly sister, don't be polite to the second aunt. The second aunt's room has the most interesting things. In the past, we were just greedy. Now my sister will ask for it, so that we, who have never seen the world, can Open your eyes."
Ms. Zhao cursed angrily: "What a sharp mouth, why aren't your third aunts greedy?"
"I don't even know how many times she has raided my house."
After Han had spoken, he smiled and said to Qingguan: "Good boy, their words are my words."
As soon as these words came out, Qingguan no longer dared to sit down. She stood up and walked to the three ladies. She saluted one by one and said, "Qingguan, thank you ladies for your love."
Princess Huayang sighed secretly after hearing this. Judging from the tone of voice, it sounded like something intimate.
This madman is so lucky that he fell into the eyes of the three ladies of the Jiang family. Hua Yang then sent a wink to his daughter, asking her to talk more. Unexpectedly, Wu Yanling was shocked by Qingguan's salute and did not receive the wink from her mother at all.
