Chapter 933： Marquis

Chapter 933: Marquisship

The prince needs his own power, and the Qin family needs to find a backer. It depends on whether the eldest brother can catch the eye of the prince.

Qin Xin wanted to understand, so he put the matter aside and said with a smile: "Isn't the biggest thing in the capital now the selection of concubines?"

“The price of silk and satin has increased a lot, and all the embroiderers in the capital are too busy.”

She lowered her voice and said, "I know a few of them are eyeing the concubine position."

Gu Fei smiled and asked, "Who are they?"

Qin Xin clapped her fingers and said, "One is the youngest daughter of Hou Zhang's family in Wuding. That girl Zhang Ying is so beautiful, only a little worse than you, the Crown Princess. I have seen her several times before, and she is delicate and weak." It’s such a look that one can’t help but feel pity at the sight of it.”

 Gu Fei thought to herself, I cheated. It seems that Miss Zhang is a real beauty. She has a delicate and frail look. Isn’t it exactly what the emperor loves?

“Since she is so good, why didn’t Prince An—”

Qin Xin covered her mouth and smiled and said, "She only had haircut this year. During the two years when King An was in the capital, her family said that she was seriously ill and needed to rest, so they sent her to Jingyue Temple."

"Besides, King An is a rebel, who is willing to send his daughter over?"

“Unlike the current emperor, he was originally of royal blood and was orthodox.”

"Only those shameless families gave their daughters to King An. Now those people all have their tails between their legs and dare not say anything."

Gu Fei nodded slightly, "What else is there?"

"There is another one who is the eldest daughter of the newly appointed Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. Miss Wang is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is beautiful and behaves in an elegant manner. It is hard for anyone to find any fault. I heard that her name has also been reported. Go up."

Qin Xin also mentioned the girls from several houses, and Gu Fei took note of them all.

After talking for a long time, Qin Xin said goodbye and left.

Going home, she went to her eldest brother's study. The brother and sister stayed in the study and talked for a long time. Her eldest brother sent someone to send a message the next day, asking to see the prince.

A day later, Xiao Yu met Qin Zhen.

Not long after, Qin Zhen was appointed as the Jin Yiwei commander.

Now Zhu Yiwei no longer exists, and Jin Yiwei was newly established in Da Qi Dynasty.

Xue Chen was appointed as the commander of Jinyiwei and his superior in Qin Town.

The imperial edict to ennoble the Gu family came down within a few days.

Gu Qing didn't dare to go out these days. When the **** who announced the order came, he put an incense table at home and knelt down to receive the order.

Gu Zhang was granted the title of Marquis of Changping, and the Chen family was granted the title of Marquis of Marquis, and was given the title of Marquis of the Marquis, and was given a house with five jins.

The whole family was trembling with fear, but finally nothing happened, and they sent the **** away with a generous reward.

There was a plaque hanging on the main entrance of the Marquis Mansion given by the emperor. Everyone went to take a look at it first. When Mrs. Chen came back, she was worried about how many things she would have to buy to fill up the rooms in such a big mansion.

The Marquis of Changping started purchasing the next day.

Gu Zhang didn't let Mr. Chen interfere. He knew that Mr. Chen was still reluctant to spend money after many years of hard life, but now she couldn't do it without spending money. Every appliance in the house must be decent. This is not only the dignity of the Changping Marquis, but also the dignity of the Crown Princess. of decency.

Gu Zhang only asked the housekeeper to say that he wanted to buy a batch of furniture, utensils and curtains, and merchants from all over the city flocked to the place.

All kinds of exquisite things were placed in front of Gu Zhang, free of charge, just for the sake of establishing a relationship with the newly wealthy Changping Hou family in the capital.

How could Gu Zhang dare to accept it? He gave the money and asked someone to issue a receipt, because he was afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly later.

The Hou Mansion was tidied up and a large number of servants were hired. The family chose a good and auspicious day and moved in.
