1369 Third aunt Gu’s problem
After a while, the officials from the Ministry of Rites also came and welcomed Jin nanguo and his group to the Embassy that was specially used to receive the envoys of other countries.
Uncle Gu said goodbye to Jin nanguo and his sons, then went home.
The Peng family had their own mansion in the capital. After saying goodbye to uncle Gu, second Peng went home. The Peng family had a master at home. After Cheng Huaiyu passed away last spring, sixth Peng had come to the capital to seek medical treatment and was currently recuperating at home.
“Big brother, are we going to see grandmother today or wait until tomorrow?” The Gu Manor had been settled down. Previously, when Grandpa Gu was conferred the title of nobility, the Emperor had sent people over to repair it and personally wrote a plaque. Someone had been taking care of it all this time. Once uncle Gu returned, he could live in it.
“I can enter the palace at any time?” Uncle Gu asked in surprise.
“Of course! Grandmother often asked me to bring Rui ‘er and his two other siblings into the palace. Grandmother said that Rui ‘er is just like our Father when he was young. Grandmother really likes Rui’ er.” Third aunt Gu said happily.
“That’s good! By the way, did your mother-in-law say that she wanted to come to the capital with you? Did your sister-in-law find a partner?” Uncle Gu asked again.
“She’s not coming.” Third aunt Gu looked left and right. The servants were far away, so she whispered, ” I told Guo Wan that you can forget about marrying a good man when your mother is here. If you don’t tell your mother to come, you and your brother will be fine. I’ll ask the Empress Dowager to point you to a good family. Then, she agreed to Guo Wan’s request. The wedding date was at the end of this year. Her mother-in-law and brother-in-law would only come to the capital at the end of the year. I also let people find a good family for my brother-in-law in Qing Zhou. Mother-in-law is worried that my son’s life will not be good, so she only came to the capital to see her daughter get married and will not follow us in the future.”
“Hey, third brother, you’ve become smarter!” Uncle Gu was shocked. who taught you that? you managed to avoid this trouble.
“Hahaha, my husband! He had already mentioned this matter to me, but then he was beaten by the Emperor. The two of us discussed that in the future, mother-in-law will follow brother-in-law, and I will live with my husband alone.” Third aunt Gu said proudly.
She really didn’t want to live with her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law. It was naturally good to be able to move out.
If they could move out, she was willing to solve the personal problems of her brother-in-law and sister-in-law. She was sure that they would find good partners.
If the three of them were not willing, then she would just wait for them to come by themselves.
Now that third aunt’s status had risen and third uncle was the Prince Consort, there were many families who were willing to marry the Prince Consort’s younger brother and sister.
Therefore, this matter was particularly easy to handle.
Uncle Gu knew that his third sister’s life would not be so troublesome in the future, so he casually gossiped about the final fate of the National brother and sister.
Guo Wan’s husband’s family was chosen by the Empress Dowager. They could accept Guo Wan’s age and could also control Guo Wan’s family, who could not leave the house no matter what she did.
Guo Wan’s fiancé was neither good nor bad. He was the second son of a Marquis. He could not inherit the title of nobility, but he had a job in the court. He was about the same age and once had a fiancée. However, because of King Qu’s incident, the woman’s family was raided, so she was single.
Guo Wan was the sister-in-law of the princess that the Empress Dowager doted on the most. That family was afraid that they would be implicated because of their fiancée, so they were eager to get involved with third aunt!
Guo Wan herself had also met the other party and was very satisfied with the other party’s identity. She did not make a fuss about looking for a better one, so the marriage was settled.
