Gu Yan didn't ask much about the Zhouhou Mansion. Just as his younger brother didn't dare to have extravagant hopes, he didn't dare to think too much. The two brothers were focused on saving their family wealth to buy property.
In the fourth room of the Hou Mansion, Chang Zhi returned to the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He was not surprised to see his daughter, "I knew you would come over."
Yuwen, "Is dad satisfied?"
Changzhi snorted, "Not satisfied."
Yuwen poured tea for her father, who was obviously very satisfied. If he was not satisfied, his father would have said so on the day Gu Sheng was hired, and there would be no invitation for people to come to take the exam today. "Dad, drink tea."
Because Gu Sheng came from a poor family, Chang Zhi often inquired about the sons-in-law of poor families in the capital, "There are many sons-in-law from poor families in the capital, and not many of them live well. Some make troubles that everyone knows about, and some endure it for the sake of the family's reputation. Dad It’s not that students from poor families are not good, it’s just that the gap is too big. I hope you will have a good life in the future.”
Yuwen said, "Dad, Gu Sheng is not a white-eyed wolf, and he won't make trouble. Gu Sheng doesn't have any messy relatives. He is very measured and will not cause any trouble in the future. In fact, it's better to be simple."
She didn't want to choose a child from an aristocratic family, but she couldn't leave the family. With more favors, there would be more things to do. There are elders above and relatives below. Once she does something bad and gossips a lot, it is inevitable that there will be problems between husband and wife. She doesn't want to gamble. She prefers to control a future she can control.
In Ningzhou, Minghui nestled in the back house of the government office, sitting in the pavilion fishing.
Yuyi and Yujiao passed by the pavilion after returning from the house. Yujiao asked nicely, "Brother, how many fish did you catch?"
Minghui was bored, "I haven't counted them either."
Yujiao sat down, "Brother, why don't you go out?"
Minghui said expressionlessly, "What do you think?"
Yujiao chuckled, then stretched out her finger, "Let me do the math. Since arriving in Ningzhou, I have had two chance encounters and three heroic rescues of beauties. Brother, your love is too prosperous."
Yujiao wanted to laugh when she thought of her brother watching the beauty suffer.
Yu Yi couldn't help but snicker, "It's indeed quite prosperous."
Minghui rolled his eyes, "You want it for you."
Yujiao smiled even more happily, "I don't want the girls to look down on me either."
Minghui stretched out his hand and pinched Yujiao's face, "Let you gloat."
Yuyi didn't want to save her sister, "It's still the identity of the elder brother that attracts people."
Minghui said quietly: "Do you blame me?"
His grandfather was a Marquis, and his father would also be a Marquis in the future. He would be a serious future son of the Marquis. Alas, as a result of his good background and popularity, Miss Liu on the ship was still reserved.
Yujiao didn't smile either, "Who let me have the best background for these young ladies? I'm not bad looking, but I'm going to keep an eye on him."
Yu Yi answered, "We men in the Hou family do not take concubines, and we do not mention the interests you represent. As far as happiness is concerned, the reserved young lady cannot be reserved anymore."
Minghui said quietly: "I suddenly discovered that the young lady in Beijing is really reserved."
Although there are some who are shy towards him, they are really not as exaggerated as Ningzhou!
Yu Yi, "At the feet of the emperor of the capital, one person affects a whole family. Who dares to surpass that?"
Minghui stopped fishing. “When Yueyang comes, I will go back with him.”
He couldn't stay in Ningzhou anymore. He really didn't dare to go out for fear of being betrayed and having a fiancée return to the capital.
In a blink of an eye, envoys from various countries arrived in Beijing. Zhulan got the news and took her granddaughter to a box. The queue was long and there was a beautiful carriage.
Jade Butterfly stood by the window, "The beauty is here."
Zhulan looked longingly, and there was indeed a beauty on the carriage. Thanks to the wind today, the window screen of the carriage swayed, revealing the beauty sitting in the carriage.
Yudie waited for the carriage to go away and said: "There are many beauties here this time, and there is a real understanding between several countries."
Zhulan thought to herself, it's a pity that the emperor doesn't value beauty. Since these beauties have been sent here, he won't take them back. I don't know who will get the advantage in the end!
The convoy behind them was filled with gifts they had brought, but unfortunately they were all covered and we didn’t know what was inside.
Suddenly Zhulan looked at the horseman, and her heart skipped a beat. The man on the horse felt something, and turned his head to look at the restaurant, then turned his head back as if nothing had happened.
Zhulan was delighted that it was Jiang An who passed by just now, and he was still wearing official uniform!
Yuwen looked at her grandma's expression. She had never participated in the game of guessing twin cousins, but she could tell the difference between the two cousins. She had never told anyone about it. The one just now was cousin Jiang An!
Yuwen fanned her hand one after another. Cousin Jiang An is so awesome. From his position just now, it can be seen that he is a representative of a country.
The fun was over, Zhulan stood up and said, "Let's go back."
At the embassy, Chang Yi and other ministers welcomed various countries to check in. Chang Yi paused when he saw Jiang An. Jiang An's beard was longer and he looked older.
By the time the envoys were arranged one after another, it was already afternoon.
Chang Yi did not leave. He really wanted to find a chance to have a word with his nephew. He wanted to ask how Jiang Ping was doing.
When Changyi finally found a chance to go to the yard where his nephew was, he heard someone talking inside. He was discovered by the guards. Jiang An came out of the house. Changyi's eyes were so good that he actually saw the princess.
Jiang An asked, "What can I do, sir?"
The accent is a little weird, as if he has just learned Chinese not long ago.
Chang Yi, "... I'll just ask if there's anything else you need."
Jiang An smiled, "It's not necessary. It's already good. Thank you."
Chang Yi looked at his nephew deeply and finally smiled, "That's good."
If he weren't surrounded by people, he would know why the princess was crying
Chang Yi walked out of the courtyard with doubts. The official behind him asked, "Sir, it's getting late. We should go back to the Ministry of Etiquette."
Chang Yi, "Okay."
After leaving the yamen, Chang Yi went to the household department to pick up his father and told what he had discovered, "I only took a glance and felt that the princess was crying very sadly."
Zhou Shuren said, "When a beauty is given to you and there are some who are willing, even a princess is a gift. It is normal to cry."
Chang Yi thought the same thing, "The helplessness of a weak country."
Zhou Shuren said, "Well, they all want to go back in exchange for food. This shows how difficult life is for a small country."
Chang Yi added: "I'm really surprised that this kid Jiang An will become the envoy representative."
Zhou Shuren was also surprised, "This guy is very capable."
Chang Yi said quietly: "This also means that it will be very dangerous to be discovered."
Zhou Shuren was also worried, but it was useless to worry, "Hey."
After returning home, Zhou Shuren saw the box on the table as soon as he entered the house, "Who sent this?"
Zhulan's eyes were red and she had obviously cried, "Jiang Ping sent it while it was dark."
Zhou Shuren has opened the box. Inside the box are two old ginseng roots. "This kid is very brave. They are so dangerous now."
Zhulan said, "The two brothers, one working openly and the other working secretly, have returned to Beijing and said they are not in danger."
There are many people who want to clean them up, so don’t worry too much.
Zhou Shuren asked, "Did you just give it to me, or did you give it all?"
Zhulan smiled, "Jiang Ping secretly returned home before coming here. Hey, these two kids got the old ginseng from nowhere. Look, these two ginseng roots are over a hundred years old."
