Chapter 47： favorable

Chapter 47 Favourable

Gu Yanfei didn't stay in Cihetang for much longer, and returned to Yuheng Garden with Juan Bi.

Autumn chrysanthemums and tree shadows sway in the wind, adding a bit of tranquility and a bit of a cold atmosphere.

On the way, you can occasionally see the coming and going of servants walking in the wind, and from time to time I hear words such as "Kang Kang", "promoting relatives", "three girls" and so on floating in the wind.

After walking to the gate of Yuheng Garden, Juan Bi, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but ask a few more questions: "Girl, didn't the Empress Dowager say that the third girl would marry the British mansion today? Why did His Royal Highness Kang propose a marriage?"

"The slave and maid have never heard of a prince or a prince personally going to which door and which house to propose marriage."

In this play, isn't it all the emperors, empresses or queen mothers who bestow marriages to these imperial concubines?

"If you're curious, just go and find out for yourself." Gu Yanfei laughed, her words were overwhelmed by a dissatisfied cat meowing.

"Meow-"

Qingguang dragged Changyin and flew out, flew into Gu Yanfei's arms, and complained meowingly, for a while she blamed her for throwing it away, and for a while, she complained that Gu Yanfei had sent it to Chu Yi before. matter.

Gu Yanfei didn't understand, so he walked in with the cat in his arms, while Juan Bi happily ran out again, walking briskly.

Juanbi is the son of the Houfu family. Several generations of the family, from parents to brothers and sisters, are all working in the residence.

Not long after, Juan Bi heard some news about King Kang from his cousin's niece.

Juanbi's relatives were working as generals in Cihetang. She couldn't enter the main house, but she quietly asked the second-class maid of Cihetang to inquire.

It is said that King Kang did come to the Hou residence to formally ask for marriage, but Mrs. Gu Tai did not agree. She only talked about marriage. King Kang could not decide by herself. If Queen Mother Yuan had other plans, it would not be beautiful.

Kang Kang was finally persuaded to leave.

Although this marriage has not yet been decided, it still caused a storm in the Hou Mansion, making everyone feel honored, and the whole mansion was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

However, Mrs. Gu Tai and Gu Jian's mother and son in Cihetang were a little heavy, and even the atmosphere inside and outside the room became depressed.

"Mother," Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Wang sat next to Gu Jian, clearing her throat and breaking the silence, "Why shouldn't you go down to King Kang?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the Bisha closet was quietly opened by a hand, revealing half of his face.

It was a thirty-five- or six-year-old steward, wearing a dark-patterned robe with a dark brown pattern and a sandal-colored horse-faced skirt underneath. The figure was slightly plump, and the beautiful goose-egg face was full of anxiety.

She stared at Mrs. Gu Tai for a moment and bit her lower lip.

Fourteen years ago, she desperately exchanged two baby girls, hoping that her daughter would have a better future.

Once, she thought that her daughter would marry into the British government and become the princess of the country in the future. It would be her biggest dream in her life, but she did not expect her daughter to be lucky enough to have the green eyes of King Kang and have the opportunity to become a dignified princess!

If her daughter can get such a good husband, her life will be worth it.

At the beginning, after her daughter's life was revealed, she almost thought she would not survive, but fortunately...

Su Niang's dark eyes were like ancient wells that could not be seen in the depths. She held her breath and stood behind the curtain, daring not to make any sound, for fear that others would find her eavesdropping.

Mrs. Gu Tai, who was at the top, took two sips of tea slowly, and was silent for a while, as if she was thinking, and she seemed to be thinking about her words.

The room was extremely quiet, and the dripping sound of the pot leaking on one side was very clear.

Su Niang in the Bisha closet was numb to her feet. When she almost thought that Mrs. Gu would be silent to the end, she heard Mrs. Tai's calm and slow voice get into her ears:

"The harder it is, the more precious it is."

"Now that the Queen Mother is against it, King Kang can only ask for the next best thing to come and ask for the marriage in person. If the Gu family agrees easily, it will make King Kang feel that the marriage is easy."

Gu Jian and Wang Shi, who were sitting at the bottom, looked at each other thoughtfully.

Gu Jian briefly thought about it and understood the deep meaning of Mrs. Gu Tai's words.

He is a man, and he naturally understands men. Men are more or less inferior. The less a woman is available, the more precious it is.

The truth is this, but Gu Jian can't help but worry: the queen mother has always been stubborn, if she refuses to agree, can King Kang persist?

Gu Jian rubbed his brows in dismay and said, "Mother, I heard that His Royal Highness the First Prince also went to Prince Jing's mansion today."

Take care of Jane Kan, the safest way is to decide the marriage quickly, so as not to be self-defeating.

Mrs. Gu Tai heard the words, the hand holding the string of Buddha beads trembled, and the string of beads almost didn't let go, the original calmness no longer existed.

Gu Jian continued: "The eldest prince went to see Prince Jing alone. The two stayed in the study for an hour before they came out. After that, the eldest prince went straight back to the palace."

Mrs. Gu Tai naturally understood the purpose of her son's words, and her mood became irritable, and there was a bit of gloom in her icy expression.

As she had guessed before, the eldest prince would be the biggest variable, and his return would surely set off a **** storm in the courtroom.

In the face of that supreme power, many things and many people will become insignificant.

No one can guarantee that King Kang can resist the temptation of the throne for Gu Yunchang? !

Mrs. Gu Tai pursed her lips, feeling like a heavy boulder was pressing against her heart, making her breathless.

The room was quiet for a while, and needles could be heard falling.

Su Niang, who was listening with ears in the Bisha closet, could not have imagined that there were so many Mrs. Gu Tai, and she was very anxious when she saw that they stopped talking again.

She almost hit the curtain and made a noise, but she held it back abruptly, her eyes were uncertain, she didn't know what Madam Gu Tai's plan was in her heart.

Mrs. Gu Tai slowly twisted the string of Buddhist beads, and suddenly the conversation changed: "How are the preparations for the real sister's marriage? Murong Yong seems to have done a good job in Qingzhou recently?"

Now the Hou Mansion is the head of the Wang family, and Gu Yunzhen's marriage is mainly handled by the Wang family. When the Wang family nagging on trivial matters, although Gu Jian has heard a lot of things, but most of them don't pay attention to it, so she gives Wang a look. .

So, Mrs Wang replied with a smile, "Don't worry, mother, my daughter-in-law must take care of the real sister's marriage, and now I will wait for the Murong family to ask for an appointment."

"Master Hou, Master Murong is going back to Beijing soon, right?"

The wedding date must not be officially set until Murong Yong returns from Qingzhou.

When it came to Murong Yong, Gu Jian was refreshed and talked eloquently: "I came back this morning! This Murong Yong is indeed a young talent. This time, he went with the army to Qingzhou to suppress the bandits. He personally took down the bandit leader and made a great contribution. This time, nine times out of ten, you will be promoted."

"There's a vacancy for a cavalry captain right now in the Shenji Camp, and I think this position is almost certain."

Murong Yong was young, and he made a great contribution this time, which is equivalent to showing his face in front of the emperor. As long as he can enter the magic camp, he will have a bright future.

Now what King Kang lacks most is the support of the army.
