Chapter 94: marriage

The Xie family settled down, and then said: "Return to the old lady, the marriage of the children has not yet settled. My nephew and daughter-in-law are worried.
Now that our family is back in the capital, my nephew and daughter-in-law want to talk to the children about marriage in the capital.
However, my nephew and daughter-in-law are away all year round, and I don't know anyone in the capital. The marriage of the children is really difficult. "
After listening, the old lady Wei nodded in agreement, "This matter is indeed a bit difficult. But it is a life-long event for the children, so we must not be sloppy. Jane is already in time."
Xie nodded, "Exactly. Girl Jane was already in time in August."
The old lady Wei said: "Girl Zhen's marriage has to be hurry, so that the child's youth cannot be delayed."
Xie said, "Nephew and daughter-in-law think so too. In addition, Jiu'er and Yue'er are both young. The marriage of these two children should also be prepared."
The old lady Wei's gaze swept across the faces of Gu Jiu and Gu Yue, and then said: "These two children are not in time. Their marriage is not busy for the time being, and the marriage of Jane will be settled, and then talk about other things. ."
"My nephew and daughter-in-law listen to the old lady. It's just Jane's marriage, how should we solve it? My nephew and daughter-in-law can't find a suitable family for a while."
Xie's stared at the old lady Wei.
As long as the Hou Mansion is willing to come forward to resolve the marriage for Gu Zhen, then of course Gu Yue can beg for the Hou Mansion in the future marriage.
The old lady Wei happily said: "The marriage of Jane is so old that people look at each other. Wife-in-law, don't worry."
"Nephew and daughter-in-law understand."
Mrs. Wei of the Hou Mansion said aloud:
Speaking of Jane’s marriage, I have a personal choice here.

Gu Zhen's heart tightened, and her ears suddenly pricked up.
How could she not care about her marriage?
At this moment, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and her heart was beating like a drum. I'm afraid there are beads of sweat on his forehead.
Gu Zhen bit her lip fiercely and lowered her head, afraid to look at everyone.
Gu Jiu sitting next to her, seeing her look like this, he whispered: "Big sister, relax and don't be nervous."
How could Gu Zhen not be nervous.
The conversation about Gu Zhen's marriage continued.
The old lady Wei asked: "Old wife, tell me who is worthy of Jane."
The eldest wife Xiao Wei smiled, and then said, "At the Haixibo Mansion, the old lady thinks that the old lady is suitable?"
The old lady Wei didn't remember for a while, so she asked: "But the young master of the big room of Haixi Bofu?"
The eldest wife Xiao Wei nodded, "It's the young master who came out."
The old lady Wei nodded, "Let's take a look first, if it's suitable, you will bring someone to the old man. The old man has to check for Jane herself."
The eldest wife Xiaowei responded, "Daughter-in-law remembered. The next day, I will send someone to Haixi Bofu to say something, and take some time to let the second younger brother and sister have a look."
"You make up your mind." The old lady Wei was very simple.
Gu Zhen was excited.
Haixi Bo mansion, earl mansion eh.
She secretly smiled.
Although the opponent was also a concubine, it was the earl's mansion after all, and it was a meritorious lord.
Gu Zhen grabbed her handkerchief and couldn't wait to see the young master of the earl's mansion. She didn't know what she looked like.
The Xie family thanked the elder wife, Xiao Wei, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for solving the big problem for me."
The eldest wife Xiao Wei smiled and said, "The second younger sibling is too polite. Although our two families are divided, we can’t write two Gus in a single stroke. The second younger sibling has any difficulties, please tell me, Those who help will definitely help."
"With the words of my sister-in-law, I'm just as if I had taken reassurance pills." Xie Shi laughed.
Everything is going well today.
Zhang raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie's happy appearance. He couldn't bear to hit her.
That's it!
At this time, a maid came in from outside.
"Enjoy the old lady, the second master in the next mansion will lead some young masters to greet the old lady."
The old lady Wei was excited, "Zhi Li is here, and I will invite people in."
The second lady Wang smiled and said: "These days, the old lady has been talking about the second master. She said that she hadn't seen anyone for many years, and she was thinking strangely. Today, I finally saw it."
Xie said hurriedly, "We are very grateful that the old lady remembers my master."
The old lady Wei laughed, "I grew up watching Zhili. This kid has liked to study since he was a child. Later, he took the imperial examination and became an official, and he became more and more prosperous. Zhili has been away from Beijing for so many years and has finally returned. Up."
When the voice fell, Master Gu walked in with the children.
When Master Gu saw the old lady Wei, his expression was excited, and his eyes were full of admiration. He said loudly: "My nephew greets the old lady. How has the old lady been all these years?"
"Well, well, the old man has always been fine. Come here soon."
The old lady Wei Shi also looked very excited.
The two are like mother and child, and their relationship is very deep.
Master Gu stepped forward to facilitate the old lady Wei's observation.
The old lady Wei said excitedly: "Yes, that's right, she's an official, worthy of being a parent official for so many years. Seeing you so promising, the old man is happy for you."
Master Gu laughed, "Seeing that the old lady looks so good, my nephew is relieved."
The old lady Wei said: "You don't have to worry about the body of the old body, the old and the young say that you can live for ten or twenty years."
The second wife Wang immediately took the call and said: "The old lady will live a hundred years, and the daughter-in-law is also preparing to host a hundred-year-old banquet for the old lady."
The old lady Wei burst into laughter, "You monkey, you really want to live to a hundred years old, don't you become an old monster. Then you should dislike your old body again."
Wang said hurriedly: "The old lady is joking. We are all looking forward to your long life, the old lady, watching the children grow up one by one, marrying wives and children, and spreading branches and leaves."
As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
After meeting with each other, Master Gu and the three sister-in-laws called Gu Yu to the front, "Old madam, these are all your grand-nephews. Please greet the old lady."
Gu Ling sat in a wheelchair and took the lead in greeting the old lady Wei.
The old lady Wei happily said, "They are all good children. Do you know each other with your brothers?"
Gu Yu said first: "The brothers from the Hou Mansion have already known each other."
The old lady Wei looked at Gu Ling, "You are Saburo, why did your leg hurt? Does it hurt?"
Gu Ling said hurriedly, "Return to the old lady, the grandson was injured on horseback."
The old lady Wei immediately bluffed, "Why are you so careless. It's not a trivial thing to fall off the horse, except for the leg, are there injuries elsewhere?"
"The tired old lady is concerned, the grandson only hurt his leg, everything else is fine."
The old lady Wei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately in misfortune. Saburo, you have been injured for a hundred days, and your leg must be raised well. The eldest wife, holding the old body’s post, will ask the doctor Jiang Come and show Saburo the injury."
Master Gu said hurriedly: "Master Lao Hou has sent someone to take the post to the imperial doctor."
The old lady Wei nodded repeatedly, "The old man is pretty reliable in doing things."
Then, the old lady Wei and Gu Teng talked one by one and gave a meeting ceremony. Introduce them to the eldest lady, Xiao Wei, and the girls from the Hou Mansion.
After a lap, everyone knew each other.
The old lady Wei said: "You guys are uncomfortable here, Zhili, you take a few children to the outer courtyard and talk to your brother in the lobby."
Master Gu followed his kindness and took the children out of Songhetang.
Then, the old lady said to Gu Mei, a girl from the Hou Mansion, "Girl Mei, you take your sisters to the wing to talk."
Gu Mei responded. I stood up and walked to Gu Jiu, "Sister Xiao Jiu, Sister Jane, Sister Yue... Sisters will go to the wing with me to talk."
Gu Jiu stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Mei, please lead the way."
The girl from Gu Mansion came to the wing with the girl from Hou Mansion.
There are more than a dozen girls in the two provinces. Together with their respective maids, the wing room is very lively.
Gu Jiu presents the meeting gift.
The meeting ceremony she prepared was a small screen.
The embroidery on the screen is double-sided embroidery. And each girl’s name was embroidered.
Gu Mei got the screen with joy and said, "It's such a delicate screen. Sister Xiao Jiu is interested. I like it very much."
"Sister Mei likes it."
The other girls in the Hou Mansion also said they liked the gifts Gu Jiu gave.
Because everyone’s gift is unique, this alone makes everyone feel surprised.
Gu Jiu's gift grabbed the prize.
Not to be outdone, Gu Yue gave gifts that he had prepared.
The gift she prepared is Yingluo, which is also unique.
Gu Mei said: "Sister Xiao Jiu, sister Yue, the gifts you prepared are so deliberate. In this comparison, we are all embarrassed to take out the gifts we prepared."
"Yeah! Sister Xiao Jiu, Sister Yue, I like the gifts you gave me very much. Thank you!" Gu Qi, the second girl of the Hou Mansion, took two gifts and couldn't put it down.
Gu Yue smiled and said, "You like it."
Then, she raised an eyebrow at Gu Jiu and smiled, as if she was saying, look, the gift I prepared is no worse than yours.
Gu Jiu smiled, ignoring Gu Yue's provocation at all.
Gu Yue's behavior is like an immature child. Care about with Gu Yue, lose shares.
Then, Gu Zhen, Gu Shan, and Gu Lin also gave the meeting gifts.
The three of them all prepared pouches embroidered by themselves, and they were very careful.
Gu Shan said: "Embroidery is not good, please sisters don't dislike it."
"Sister Shan is too polite, your embroidered purse is very good, how can we dislike it."
The gifts were given out, and then, the girls from the Hou Mansion also gave the meeting gifts that had been prepared.
There are needlework, books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, picture albums, and copybooks.
Everyone prepares a different gift, and both parties are happy.
Gu Mei pulled Gu Jiu to speak.
"Sister Xiao Jiu, is it cold in the northwest right now?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "It's colder than Beijing."
"Is the northwest fun? There are many horse farms over there. Do you ride horses on weekdays?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "Sister Mei, I'm so old, I have never rode a horse before."
"Isn't it a pity?"
Gu Jiu nodded, and said, "Now I want to come, I do feel a little sorry. Sister Mei can ride a horse?"
Gu Mei nodded, "I can ride a horse, but I can't ride it well. When the spring starts, I will take my sister Xiao Jiu out on horseback. I will introduce a friend to you at that time."
"Thank you sister Mei."
"We are sisters, don't be polite with me."
Gu Zhen looked around.
Hou's sister, she had seen it when she was a child, but she was too young to have any impression.
She walked around the room, and finally caught up with Gu Qin, the fourth girl in the Hou Mansion.
The fourth girl, Gu Qin, is a concubine girl in the Hou Mansion, only two or three months younger than Gu Yue.
Gu Zhen and Gu Qin started talking, and when the atmosphere was right, Gu Zhen said: "Sister Qin, I have a merciless request."
"Sister Jane, please speak."
Gu Zhen pondered for a moment, "Sister Qin, what kind of family is Hexibo Residence?"
Gu Qin smiled attentively, "Does Sister Zhen want to inquire about the concubine young master from Hexibo Residence?"
Gu Zhen's cheeks were flushed red to the base of her ears.
She lowered her head, very embarrassed. But he nodded boldly, "Sister Qin, please tell me, okay?"
"Since Sister Zhen asked, I naturally knew everything I could say. The concubine young master from Hexibo's House was ranked fourth in the house, and he was called Zhao Shilang. I only met one side. He was tall and he was still studying. Not bad. I heard that his aunt's dystocia passed away, and he was raised under his aunt's name since he was a child."
After listening to Gu Zhen, she was overjoyed. Isn’t it the same as being raised under the name of the auntie from a young age?
The marriage that the aunt in the lobby introduced to her sounded pretty good.
Gu Zhen asked, "This Zhao Silang, do you have any bad habits?"
Gu Qin shook his head and said, "I have never heard of it. Sister Zhen, you don't actually have to worry. The marriage that my mother introduced to you is very good.
If you don't believe me, after you go back, you can ask your cousins ​​in the big room of your house. They also knew this Zhao Shilang. If this Zhao Shilang had bad habits, he would definitely not be able to hide it from everyone. "
Gu Zhen said hurriedly, "Thank you, sister Qin. It's not that I don't believe what you said, but I am a little uncertain and nervous."
Gu Qin smiled attentively, "I understand Sister Zhen's mood. After Sister Zhen's marriage is settled, it's Sister Xiao Jiu's turn and Sister Yue."
Gu Zhen said: "My second sister is not very healthy, and the marriage will not be settled so quickly."
Gu Qin was stunned for a moment, "Sister Xiao Jiu is in front of the old lady. Didn’t she say that she is in good health? And I see, sister Xiao Jiu’s complexion is very good. Why did Sister Zhen say that sister Xiao Jiu’s body is not very good? ."
Gu Zhen looked around and pulled Gu Qin into the corner, "I will only tell Sister Qin about this, don't tell anyone else."
Gu Qin nodded repeatedly, promising not to tell others.
Gu Zhen lowered her voice and said, "In the late autumn of last year, my second sister was pushed into the water and became seriously ill. She didn't get well until this summer.
At that time, my second sister almost didn't survive, we all thought she was going to die.
Fortunately, the second sister survived.
When I was in the northwest, my second sister had been recuperating in the room. Until now, she still drinks medicine every day. People in the northwest know that my second sister is a medicine jar. "
Gu Qin was surprised, "Really?"
She was not surprised at Gu Jiu's health, but surprised at such a thing. Gu Zhen told her when they first met.
Isn't this kind of thing generally hidden?
For the sake of Gu Jiu's marriage, this kind of thing should not be said.
But Gu Zhen just said it.
Gu Qin's eyes rolled around, Gu Zhen told her these things, what do you mean?
Is it possible that Gu Zhen and Gu Jiu have conflicts?
Still, Gu Zhen hoped that she would spread the news about Gu Jiu's bad health.
In this way, Gu Jiu couldn't say a good relationship.
The high-ranking households in the capital would not marry a sick girl to enter.
This point made Gu Qin clear.
Obviously, Gu Zhen also understands this.
Faced with Gu Qin, Gu Zhen nodded her head, "This is absolutely true. Do you know how people call my second sister in the Northwest?"
Gu Qin shook his head.
Gu Zhen said: "They call her sick."
"Ah? Isn't Sister Xiao Jiu sad."
Gu Zhen said: "I don't know whether the second sister is upset, she never tells us her heart."
Gu Qin smiled, "Sister Zhen, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do."
"Sister Qin, go work."
Gu Qin hurriedly left Gu Zhen.
At this moment, Gu Qin's perception of Gu Zhen has dropped to zero.
At the beginning, Gu Qin liked Gu Zhen very much. Both of them were concubines, and the same situation quickly brought them closer together.
However, Gu Zhen talked about Gu Jiu maliciously, which made Gu Qin realize that Gu Zhen cannot be close friends.
In case one day, Gu Zhen and her will have a conflict, and they will arrange her right and wrong outside, and it will be too late to regret.
So Gu Qin found an excuse and quickly got rid of Gu Zhen.
Damn, the girl in the house next door is really like what sister Mei said, everywhere with swords and swords, without a fuel-efficient lamp.
