The Zhang family in Gu'an.
Zhang Juling left the study and went to his father Zhang Xiu's osmanthus garden.
Of course, the mistress Wang Lan also lives here.
Shuming followed Zhang Juling, his face was flushed and he walked with wind.
Since the Third Young Master passed the imperial examination, his status at home has increased significantly. Not only has a separate courtyard and study room, the master will listen to the Third Young Master's opinion first whenever he does... The servants even changed their minds when they see themselves from a distance. When the butler secretly stuffed a bag of cut hot beef.
Zhang Xiu was having lunch when he heard the girl report that the third young master was coming and asked him to come in and speak.
Wang Lan, who was accompanying her, froze her face. She didn't like Zhao Yi'er, and she didn't like the extremely smart son she gave birth to.
“…Please my father and mother.”
Zhang Juling picked up the curtain and walked into the house and bowed his hand.
Zhang Xiu waved his hand, "Sit down and have two drinks with his father."
Zhang Juling should be.
Wang Lan didn't speak all the time, watching the two of them drinking and chatting, like an outsider.
I have to admit that this concubine's son was indeed outstanding in his appearance when he sat in front of her.
Much better than her two biological sons.
Wang Lan felt that she was really being slapped by the eagle, and she didn't even realize that he was hiding Jie Yuan's ability...
She remembered the day when Zhao Yier died. Zhang Juling stood outside the window without a single tear.
He clearly saw everything... but he has been holding back for so many years.
Wang Lan suddenly shivered and could remain indifferent to his own mother's death. He was either cold and heartless... or he had the potential to take revenge.
If it was the same as she guessed, wouldn’t Zhang Juling be too terrible?
What was he thinking when he looked at Ning Ge'er and even Sijie'er bullying him?
Wang Lan didn't dare to think about it any more.
“…Father, son tell you something.”
Zhang Juling personally filled Zhang Xiu with wine, "If you have time in the afternoon, please accompany your son to Daxing Gu Mansion?"
Zhang Xiugang nodded, then said in surprise: "What are you doing when you go to Gu's Mansion?"
Zhang Juling's complexion did not change: "Joy to be happy."
Zhang Xiucai said "Oh" and squirted out a sip of wine, "Cheer joy?"
Wang Lan quickly handed over his handkerchief and looked up at Zhang Juling.
He was very calm and seemed to have already planned it.
Zhang Xiu took it and wiped his mouth, and asked Zhang Juling: "What's the joy of the day?
Tell me what the hell is going on?”
"The youngest daughter of Gu Erye is seriously ill. The Gu family wants to find a child of the age to celebrate in the aristocratic family in Kyoto to bring good luck..." Zhang Juling took a sip of wine and said, "I think I am very suitable."
"Shuzhi, how could you have such an idea?"
Zhang Xiu looked at him and his expression became serious: "When I was studying in the countryside, I also heard about Chongxi. Usually, patients who cannot be cured for a long time get married to others..." He said halfway, and frowned: "How can a girl who cannot be cured for a long time continue the incense?
Take care of your daily life?”
Zhang Juling smiled and said in a light tone: "Father, my son is very good at hand, why should others serve him... Didn't the eldest brother just give birth to a nephew?
Our Gu family has already had successors and can't use me."
The last sentence was sarcastic, and Wang Lan pursed her lips tightly.
Zhang Xiuzheng was thinking about the joyful matters, but he didn't care.
He was stunned when he heard his son's words: "That's not what you said. You are famous now and have an immeasurable future. What kind of girl will you find in the future?
You can’t repay you by marrying his seriously ill granddaughter just because Lord Gu has recommended you…”
"Father, my son really wants to marry Miss Gu's sixth lady, and it has nothing to do with Lord Gu."
Zhang Juling talked about the Gu family's status in Kyoto again, and tempted Zhang Xiu step by step: "Mr. Gu is the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Mr. Gu is also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy... My father thought about it carefully.
Is this marriage good for our Zhang family?... When we take a closer look, we still cling to the Gu family."
Isn't it true?
Even the girl's journey was clear.
Zhang Xiu didn't know what to say for a moment.
What the third son said is true.
Being able to meet the Gu family is simply a blessing from the third generation of the Zhang family. He is a second-rank official in the court... If his career was helped by the Gu family, it would be smoother... Only a fool would disagree.
He is just a daughter-in-law, so why don’t he fulfill his third son’s wish? He also likes others.
When Zhang Xiu thought it through, he immediately felt it was amazing. Such a good thing that won multiple goals in one go... He wished he could take his third son to Gu's mansion immediately.
Seeing his father like this, Zhang Juling knew that he was moved, and his eyes became cold and soon disappeared again.
A person like his father is really good at choosing things that are beneficial to him.
Wang Lan felt a little panicked as they heard their back and forth conversation.
Zhang Juling is just the concubine of the Zhang family. Not only did he pass the imperial examination, he actually wanted to climb up to the Gu family again?
He is so lucky that he really wants to reach the top in one step.
"Dad, do you agree?"
Zhang Juling asked knowingly.
Zhang Xiu thought about it for a while before finally saying: "It doesn't matter whether your father agrees or not. The most important thing is that you have to decide your marriage."
Zhang Juling should be, "Then, let's do as you say."
He waited for Zhang Xiu, and nodded before saying to Wang Lan: "I have to bother my mother to do something. You can find a matchmaker to go to Gu's house first, and then I will go to propose marriage."
"matchmaker?"
Wang Lan asked him: "Do you still need a matchmaker when you celebrate the joy?"
Zhang Juling said very gently: "...I don't want to aggrieved her, of course it also expresses the importance our Zhang family attaches to the Gu family."
"right."
Zhang Xiu urged: "Brother Ling is right. You can go and do it quickly. We have to wait for news from the matchmaker.
After all, the matter of joy is related to human life and is of great significance.”
Wang Lan was not very happy, but she did not dare to disobey her husband's words. She cleaned up briefly and took a box of Nanzhu to Li Rui's house in Tonghutong. She was intimate with Mrs. Li and prepared to let her become a matchmaker.
The two often come into contact with each other and give gifts to each other during the Chinese New Year and holidays, just like sisters.
Mrs. Li's original name is Han Qian, and she is a talkative person.
Seeing Wang coming, he led the girl to meet him.
The Zhang family has produced a young man named Jie Yuan, so they cannot flatter him.
Wang said a few words, and Mrs. Li agreed. She was idle and idle. Maybe the Zhang family would still appreciate her love when she traveled.
In the afternoon, Wu led Sun, and Yang met Mrs. Li in the flower hall. After being polite, Mrs. Li told her purpose.
Seeing that the Zhang family's etiquette was so comprehensive, Wu smiled. They valued their granddaughter in the joyful part, and it would be better if they married.
Due to Gu Han's health, everything was simplified. Wu did not ask Mrs. Li to go back first to wait for news, but only asked Yang to entertain her well. She avoided the inner room and exchanged views with Sun.
Mrs. Li is also a wise man. She had heard about this from Wang before and knew that the so-called proposal was to cheer for Miss Gu's sixth family, so she didn't care about anything and talked to Yang with a smile.
She walked along the way and observed the Gu family thoroughly... She is worthy of being the mansion of a second-rank official, with high-gate courtyards, and every tree and every tree is a fine product. The dress of the girls and the women is even more grand than that of the ordinary masters.
The big girls who stood beside the old lady served each other with red gold hairpins and white jade earrings on their heads.
Mrs. Li was shocked.
At first she thought that the third young master of the Zhang family was insulting him to go to the other party... At this moment, she felt that the Zhang family had used a good plan. If Miss Gu Liu recovered from the wedding, then everyone would naturally be happy.
Even if the person is really gone, the Gu family will remember the friendship between the Zhang family and support the third young master to rise up all the way.
"...Mother, Han Jie'er is only fifteen years old. She has not had time to handle the wedding ceremony. Her health is not good and she is often sick. My daughter-in-law can't bear to leave her..." Sun's eyes turned red and tears fell.
Wu advised: "Jie Han was born in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, which is also considered the whole birthday. If you don't have time to do it, don't do it... Your sister Huanjie is a married person who is over 14 years old."
She sighed: "Most girls in Kyoto are thirteen to fifteen.
I originally thought about keeping her for a few more years, but you can't wait for her condition.
Before Han Jie'er fell ill, it was enough for Zhang Juling to match her... Now that he is willing to come, it is enough to prove that he is a person who values ​​love and friendship... Don't worry... In fact, she is about the same age as Qing Jie'er, Xi Jie'er, Zhao Jie'er, and Zhao Jie'er. Even if Qing Jie'er, Xi Jie'er, and Zhao Jie'er are a little older than her, they are all big-year-old."
Sun should be sobbing and couldn't say anything: "My daughter-in-law understands what you said... she just can't bear to part with Sister Han."
Wu comforted her for a while, and the two went out to reply to Mrs. Li.
The matter was done very quickly. Around Shenshi in the afternoon, Zhang Xiu, Wang Lan, and Zhang Juling came to the Gu family with pastries, candy, gifts, etc.
Wu had already asked someone to invite Gu Lin, Gu Jingran and Gu Jingwen to come back.
Zhang Juling and Gu Han took the Geng Tie to Guanghua Temple for the master to see, and the day of the joy was set the next day.
The Gu family put on lights and decorated colors overnight, tied red silk and pasted the characters of wedding, and arranged the Gu family.
In the early morning, Sun changed Gu Han into a big red wedding dress that had been prepared a few days ago, washed her again, and twisted her hair off with unbearable sadness and put it in a purse with red satin embroidered lotus pattern.
Before noon, Zhang Juling came over wearing a green pseudo-official uniform, and Zhang Xiu and his wife and brothers and sisters were also here.
No one is sure what the result will be, and it is even more unsuitable for publicity. The Gu family came here, and the rest were not notified.
As soon as the hour arrived, the incense, candle tables and chairs in the main hall of Lingboyuan were arranged.
Gu Lin and his wife and Zhang Xiu were sitting upright on the Grand Master's chair, while Sun stood beside Wu.
Zhang Juling twisted his hair and put it together with Gu Han's, held it with both hands, and worshiped the world alone.
Gu Zhao stood below, his lips bleeded.
Why did Gu Han marry Zhang Juling?
She is a living dead person, and she can't move even if she can't even move... Grandfather, grandmother is so biased towards her.
I was also a wife born in the Gu family... and they refused to go to Yilanting to see her... their mother was also locked up.
