Chapter 104: Grateful wife

Chunhe stepped forward to persuade Xie's family.
"Madam, don't be angry. Young Master Six has had his own opinions since he was a child. Since he doesn't want to marry a girl from the Xie family, he does what he wants. Don't force him."
Xie's face was annoyed, "Have I ever forced him? Do I dare to force him? I didn't plan to let him marry a girl from Xie's family. However, no matter how bad Xie's family is, it is his uncle's family. Look at his attitude, he can't wait to cut off contact with the Xie family."
"Madam calms down, take a sip of tea first."
Chunhe brought the tea cup and placed it by Xie's hand.
Xie didn't want to drink tea, she was angry at this moment.
"I worked hard to plan for them, but I didn't appreciate any of them. I didn't appreciate it. I blamed me overtly and secretly. As if I were a confused old woman. It's really annoying."
Xie gritted his teeth and felt very bitter.
Being misunderstood by her son and not understanding it makes her feel uncomfortable than being torn by others.
Xie knew very well in his heart that when he was in the northwest, because of Pei Yun's incident, Gu Teng had strayed from her. Nothing can go back.
Xie sighed repeatedly and couldn't help it.
Chunhe said again: "Young Master Six is ​​not young anymore, he should make plans for his marriage early."
Xie frowned, "I naturally know. It's just where to find a suitable candidate now."
Xie's heart was worried, she only returned to the capital, the land has not yet been familiarized, let alone the relationship between the various parties in the capital.
The children's marriage must not be delayed, and they must rely on the relationship of the Hou Mansion.
Xie thought for a while, and said to Chunhe: "You will go to the next Hou Mansion for me to see the lady. Ask her, is there any news from Haixibo Mansion? When can I see each other?"
Chunhe bowed to take his orders, "Don't worry, madam, the slave and maid will go to the Hou Mansion to see the lady."
Chunhe went busy, and couldn't come back for a while.
Xie's family leaned on the soft collapse, closed his eyes and rested.
She didn't even know Master Gu came in.
Perceiving someone around her, she suddenly opened her eyes and patted her chest, with an overwhelmed look, "Master is here. The maids are getting more and more uncomfortable, and they don't even know that there will be a notification."
Master Gu said, "I don't blame them, I won't let them report."
Xie's smiled, "I made the master laugh. I don't know what happened, and I fell asleep while sitting."
Master Gu said, "If you are tired, take a good rest."
Xie stared at Master Gu, "Why did you come back so early? Didn't you say you want to drink with classmates at night?"
Master Gu said: "They have things to do in their yamen. We will make an appointment to meet at the restaurant later."
That's it.
Xie's breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Is the master's errand finished?"
Master Gu hummed, "I will face the saint in the future. After the face saint, I should officially take office."
Xie's excitement, "Master wants to enter the palace, what should I do to prepare?"
"You don't have to worry about it. Gu Quan has already done what should be prepared."
Xie's laughed, "Master has been promoted. It's gratifying. It's better to set up a few banquets and invite the people from the Hou Mansion. Everyone is lively."
Master Gu thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement, "You do this. But you have to wait for the official to take office before you post."
Xie immediately became happy, "Master, don't worry, this matter must be done properly. It is better to draw up a list first, and prepare invitations according to the list drawn by the master."
Master Gu laughed, "Don't worry, I will ask Gu Quan to send you the list next day."
After a pause, Master Gu asked again: "Your natal sister-in-law came here today, but what's the matter?"
"Just come to see the concubine." Xie's lips pursed and smiled.
Master Gu raised his eyebrows, "Nothing else?"
Xie's head looked down, his eyes rolled left and right, and then he said, "Sister-in-law wants to marry us, I didn't agree."
Master Gu was silent.
Xie immediately became anxious, "Please trust the concubine, the concubine really did not agree. The concubine rejected the eldest wife on the spot, and said clearly.
At the beginning, the eldest brother did not do things honestly, which harmed the master, and the concubine would not compromise anyway. The concubine is always on the side of the master.
And the concubine is still looking forward to the honor of the husband and wife, how can he let the eldest brother be free. "
Master Gu calmly asked, "Did your natal sister-in-law say anything else?"
Xie was not sure if there was Master Gu's eyeliner beside him.
If so, then she and Ma's conversation, I'm afraid Master Gu already knows about it.
Even if there is no eyeliner, Master Gu is not unable to inquire about the conversation between her and Ma.
Soon, Xie's heart had a decision.
Xie said: "Sister-in-law is a bit whimsical and wants his Dalang to marry the four girls of the Hou Mansion."
Master Gu frowned, "If I remember correctly, the fourth girl in the Hou Mansion was a concubine."
Xie nodded, "It's the concubine. Gu Qin, the girl Qin, has been raised by the eldest lady since childhood, and she is outstanding.
Master Gu laughed, "Your eldest brother, he thinks really far and has a big heart."
"Big brother is not having a good life now." Xie said weakly.
Master Gu coldly snorted, "I don't need you to worry about whether his life is good or not. You just have to remember that you are the Gu Xie family, and you have to consider your children."
Xie nodded, "The concubine listened to the master. Speaking of the children's marriage, the last time the concubine talked about the Haixi Bofu, do you remember the master?"
"what happened again?"
Xie's considered it, and whispered, "I went to see my sister-in-law today and asked her about some news about Hexibo Mansion. Hexibo has a sacred heart, and is one of the few people who can talk about the emperor's side. .
There are two other sons under his knees who have not been married, except for the one from the concubine. "
Master Gu stared at Xie's, he understood Xie's. Xie's speaking of this must have profound meaning.
The Xie family bewitched Master Gu, "The master just returned to the capital when he needed to expand his contacts. If there is a family like Haixi Bofu who can speak in front of your majesty, it will definitely be of great help to the master's career. .
However, the girl Zhen is a concubine, and the one who told her to kiss her is also the concubine master. In terms of the weight, is it lighter? If he were the second son of Hesibo, the weight would be much heavier, and Hesibo would also attach more importance to our in-laws. "
Master Gu frowned, "Do you want Jane to marry Haixibo's second-in-law?"
"Girl Jane doesn't have enough weight. It definitely won't work, and she will offend Hesyber. The concubine's meaning is to let Yueer replace Jane and talk to her second son. Master, do you think this is good?"
Xie's heart beats extremely fast, like beating a drum. She was nervous, disturbed, and afraid that Master Gu would oppose her proposal.
At the same time, she held a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Hexibo Mansion, a first-class family, and one of the few who can speak before His Majesty. It's impossible for Master Gu to be unmoved.
But, will Master Gu support her plan?
If she could not get the support of Master Gu, her plan would basically be in vain.
The children's marriage was not her turn alone.
Master Gu was silent for a long time before he said: "The second son of the Hexi Bo Mansion is really as good as you said. There are so many girls in the Hou Mansion who haven't married yet, so why don't you see the Hou Mansion tempted?"
Xie's mouth was dumbfounded, "Perhaps Mrs. Hecibo loves her son and wants to choose carefully."
"Since it is a careful selection, do you think it is possible to choose the girl from our house instead of the girl from the Majesty's House?"
Xie frowned, "Has the master heard something?"
Master Gu said with a serious face, "Recently busy with official duties, I did not deliberately inquire about Hexibo's affairs. However, the so-called second son of Hexibo, I think you take it for granted. It's best to send someone out to inquire, this Why has the second son of Haixibo never married? Is there something unspeakable."
Xie frowned and lowered his head. Could it be that Mrs. Zhang was coaxing her and deliberately entice her to put her on her sleeve?
Thinking back and forth about what the eldest wife Zhang said, there seemed to be no problem.
Then, Xie said: "The master is still thoughtful, because the concubine is too much for granted. Minger's concubine will send someone out to inquire about the news of Hexibo Mansion. If the second son of Hexibo has no problem, the master will agree to Yue. Are you married to Hexibo Mansion?"
Master Gu chuckled softly, "It doesn't matter whether the official agrees or disagrees, what matters is whether Hexibo can see my Yueer."
Xie was a little embarrassed, and a little unhappy. She weakly defended: "Yue'er is pretty good."
Mr. Gu said, "Is Yue'er okay? We don't count, we have to say it. In short, don't rush to decide this matter beforehand. It's about the children's marriage, so be careful."
Xie nodded, "The concubine listens to the master. Then, the second girl's marriage, the master has plans?"
Speaking of Gu Jiu's marriage, Mr. Gu frowned subconsciously.
"Second girl's marriage is not anxious in advance, wait for the next year to talk about it."
Xie's calmly reminded Master Gu, "The second girl is half a year older than Yue'er, and it will be in time next year. The girl's youth cannot be delayed."
"The official will take this matter to heart. For now, we will settle the marriage of Jane first."
Master Gu glanced at the time, it was already late. So he got up and left. Tonight, he had an appointment with his classmates for a drink to connect with each other, but he couldn't be late.
As soon as Mr. Gu left, Xie's family called Senior Sanfu and asked Senior Sanfu to go out to inquire about Hexibo House, especially the second son of Hexibo.
Senior Sanfu took the order and left.
When it was getting dark, Chunhe returned from the neighboring Hou Mansion.
"Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Houfu said don't worry, when she finds the opportunity, she will send someone to notify the wife."
Xie said: "There is no need to look for another opportunity. In some days, the mansion will invite guests to congratulate the master for being promoted. At that time, please ask the lady to send an invitation to Hexibo Mansion and invite them to come as guests."
"In case the Haixi Bo Mansion refuses to come, what should I do?"
"If you refuse to come to the banquet, then look for another suitable opportunity to meet."
Chunhe replied, "It's getting late at this meeting, and the maidservant will go to see Madam Hou Mansion tomorrow."
...
The next day, Senior Sanfu inquired about the news of Hexibo House.
It's not that the senior high school is more capable, but the news of the Hexibo House has long been known to everyone.
That is, the Xie family, Master Gu and the couple just returned to the capital, and they were so busy that they didn't know.
Senior Sanfu bowed and stood in front of Xie's, "Mrs. Qizhen, the youngest inquired about Haixibo's second son."
When Xie heard this, he became excited, "Quickly tell, what's the situation?"
Senior Sanfu said hurriedly: "Hexibo's second-in-law son, twenty-one, the reason why he has not been married up to now is that he has a bad temper, and he also has a reputation for being a wife.
"What? Wife?"
Xie's eyes widened, as if he had heard incredible things.
Senior third Fu nodded again and again, "It is the reputation of his wife. Hexibo's second son has talked about three marriages over the years.
The girls in the three marriages all died before they were about to get married.
The first and second girl died of illness. The third girl fell into the water and died.
After the reputation of Ke's wife spread out, none of the people in the capital who could count it wanted to marry the Hexibo Mansion. "
Xie's face was pale and seemed to have been greatly hit.
Senior Sanfu was worried and called out several times, "Mrs.? Madam, are you all right."
Xie waved his hand, "What else do you inquire about, let's talk and listen."
Senior Sanfu deliberatedly said: "Hexibo's second-in-law son is rumored to be grumpy. Someone once saw the maid in his room being carried out bloody."
Xie's face paled when he heard the words.
Not only did he kill his wife, but he also killed someone. Xie's shivered.
If you really want to marry Yue'er to this person, isn't it just pushing Yue'er into the fire pit?
Xie sighed and said to Senior Sanfu: "Go down first."
"Small retire."
At this time, Xie basically dismissed the idea of ​​marrying Gu Yue into Haixi Bofu.
Just not reconciled.
Haixi Bofu, a first-class family, is it really cheaper for Gu Zhen?
When Master Gu returned to the house, Mr. Xie brought up the matter with Master Gu.
Master Gu said: "Since the other party has a reputation for being a wife, and has a bad temper, then you can't marry Yue'er. Let's just let this matter go. Let Zhen girl and Zhao Silang first follow the instructions of the Hou Mansion. Look."
Xie's expression was depressed, "Poor Yueer, such a good marriage is unsuitable."
Master Gu stared at Xie Shi, "Do you want to push Yue'er into the fire pit?"
Xie shook his head hurriedly, "Master misunderstood, how can the concubine be willing to marry Yue to such a family? Concubine is not the kind of person who doesn't care about the life and death of his children."
"It's so good, don't think about it anymore."
...
Master Gu's face went smoothly and was praised by the emperor.
After that, he moved smoothly to take up the post of Yin in the capital.
Master Gu leaves early and returns every day, and the banquet is all left to Xie's preparation.
There was news from the Hou Mansion that the Hexibo Mansion accepted the invitation. On the day of the banquet, Mrs. Hexibo would bring her children to the banquet in person.
Hearing this news, Xie's was happy and melancholy. Sighed several times.
I don't know who said he missed his mouth, and the news that Mrs. Hecibo was coming to the banquet reached Gu Zhen's ears.
Gu Zhen pursed her lips and smirked, and her heart was very happy.
Aunt Hu was happy, but a little worried.
If Gu Zhen could really marry into the Haixi Bo Mansion, the Xie family would not be able to refuse to confess her mission.
Aunt Hu looked at the courtyard next door, and the person living in the courtyard next door was Aunt Bai.
Aunt Bai's belly grew bigger day by day.
After returning to the capital, Aunt Bai rarely stayed on her own. Unless necessary, she never left the courtyard.
Aunt Hu sneered. She knew Aunt Bai was very scared. She was afraid that she would encounter danger when she was discharged from the hospital and could not keep the child in her stomach.
However, the Xie family refused to let Aunt Bai give birth to the child. No matter how hard Aunt Bai did, it was useless.
Unless the child is a girl, there is hope of survival.
Aunt Hu sighed faintly, all kinds of contradictions and entanglements in her heart.
Gu Zhen didn't know what Aunt Hu was struggling with.
She is eager to share her joy with others.
Gu Yue, Gu Shan?
Not good, not good.
Still go to Gu Jiu. She wants to laugh three times in front of Gu Jiu to let Gu Jiu know how happy she is.
Gu Zhen said to Aunt Hu, "Auntie, I'm going to play with the second sister."
After speaking, Gu Zhen ran out of the courtyard.
In Zhilan's hospital, Gu Jiu was sitting at the desk, looking through various materials collected by Er Zhuang.
After returning to the capital for a period of time, Er Zhuang was ordered to go out every day, walk around and inquire about the news. He was already familiar with the streets and alleys of the capital.
He wrote the news he inquired into a book as required, and sent it to Gu Jiu's desk through Li Chuan.
Gu Jiu flipped through the information while taking notes.
Gu Jiu is too strange to Beijing. She had no chance to go out again. You can only rely on the second strong to understand the real capital.
As for the noble circle in the capital, Er Zhuang could not find much news.
Gu Jiu intends to ask Gu Jun and the girls from the Hou Mansion next door for news from the noble circle.
Gu Jiu was busy, and Qingzhu came in from outside, "Give me girl, the first girl and the fifth girl are here, just outside the door."
"Big sister and fifth sister are here, please ask them in."
Gu Jiu collected all the materials on the table.
Qing Zhu went out and invited the two girls in.
Gu Zhen was not as happy as she was at the beginning, she glanced at Gu Lin beside her, very annoyed.
What a bad luck, how come I ran into my fifth sister.
Gu Lin thought about it the same way, it was unfortunate that she ran into her big sister at the door.
