Chapter 157 (2/2)
Xie's self mockery smile, ”just, don't say these. Go and take out yue'er's dowry list, and I'll see if there's anything to add. ”
……
On the fifth day of the fifth day of the lunar new year, Hou's family and friends were invited to celebrate the new year together.
Early in the morning, the people of Gu's house all set out to go to the Marquis's house by carriage and by the main gate.
The carriage stops at the second gate. Gu Jiu gets out of the carriage and sees Gu Mei.
With a smile on her face, ”sister Mei.”
”Sister Jiu, come here. The old lady has been thinking about you. As soon as I heard that you were accused of marrying your son, the old lady didn't stop all night. ”
”It's my unfilial duty to worry about me. By the way, has sister Qi and sister Ying got married
Gu Mei nodded, ”it's settled. I'll hire you after the first month.”
Gu Jiu said with a smile, ”then I'll have to go to Congxi Qi, sister Ying.”
Gu Mei looks at Gu Jiu anxiously and stops talking.
Gu Jiu pretends not to see it and talks and laughs freely.
They came to the pine and cypress yard to greet the old lady Wei.
”Good, good, this year's new year's day, finally, all the people have arrived. Unlike in the past years, your second room is always absent, and it's a lot colder. ”
Xie said with a smile: ”after that, our two rooms and one family come to harass the old lady every year during the Spring Festival. Don't let us be noisy, old lady
The old lady, Wei, laughed, ”don't worry. I like to be lively. I like watching the whole family get together. Sit down. Don't stand. Xiao Jiu, come to me and let me have a look. ”
The others took their seats in turn. Gu Jiu stepped forward and came to the old lady Wei.The old lady Wei took her hand and looked at Gu Jiu carefully, ”wronged you.”
Gu Jiu slightly shakes his head, ”niece and granddaughter are not aggrieved.”
The old lady, Wei Shi, sighed, ”you one, and Miss Wei San, you two, don't know what luck you've taken, and they've all been given marriage to their grandchildren.”
The East Palace chose three girls of Wei, who were from the family of my husband and the Duke of the state of Zhu.
By the time the Duke of Chu got the news, it was too late to change his Majesty's decision.
In addition, there was a empress staring at him. The Duke of the state of Chu was helpless. Finally, he could only recognize the marriage by pinching his nose.
To this end, the officials of the east palace were really happy.
The difference between the Duke of Zhu and the Duke of Lu was that his soldiers were stationed in the north. The north is peaceful, and there are few wars. The combat effectiveness is certainly not comparable to that of Lu Hou.
However, once the northern side also started fighting, maybe the soldiers in the hands of Duke Zhu would be controlled by Lu Hou.
In this way, marquis Lu was superior to Duke Zhu.
Once Lu Hou began to control the forces in the north, he would hold nearly 300000 troops.
It's really scary.
Therefore, every day in the court there was a memorial to impeach Lu Hou.
Civil servants jumped up every day and said that Marquis Lu was greedy and perverted the law. He was careless about human life. He drank military blood. He was ambitious and rebellious.
Every day, he bewitched the emperor and guarded against the Marquis Lu. On the other hand, he just said that he would arrest Lu Hou and cut him to pieces.
The son of heaven has a great trust in those who trust. As long as he didn't do something that threatened the imperial power, even if he offended the whole world, the emperor would trust him and entrust him with an important task.
For those who don't like their eyes, even if the other party's words are pearls, the emperor doesn't believe a word.
Marquis Lu is generally acknowledged to be the most capable official and the most favored by the emperor.
He was in the northwest all year round, but he still got the trust of the emperor. Every time he went back to Beijing to report his work, the emperor would give Lu Hou a lot of rewards.
For Lu Hou's family in the capital, the emperor also took care of him.
This is also why the eastern palace and the great palaces are trying to win over the Marquis Lu.
As long as we can get the support of Lu Hou, we are only one step away from the throne.
However, Lu Hou, the son of a bitch, took the money and didn't do anything. The prince was still in a state of Prince's anger. In private, Lu Hou was scolded again and again.
Peiyun as the legitimate eldest daughter of marquis Lu, her marriage naturally got the attention of the whole capital from top to bottom.
Just yesterday, Peiyun's marriage was settled.
The man who was engaged to Peiyun was the eldest son of the Duke of the state of Zhu and the elder brother of Miss Wei San.
This is why Donggong is so happy.
The prince of the East Palace married three girls of Wei, and Peiyun will marry to the Wei family.
In this way, the East Palace and Lu Hou house are not linked.
For this reason, the East Palace from the high and low since the whole night.
Some are happy, others are sad.
The East Palace was in high spirits, while the Wei family, the Duke of the state of Chu, was half happy and half worried.
Even Wei, the old lady, sighed and sighed in a complicated mood.
The servant reported that the Wei family of the Duke of the state of Zhu had come.
The old lady Wei Shi said in a hurry: ”please come in quickly.”
The Duke and Mrs. Zhu came in with the children.
As soon as she saw the old lady Wei, she threw herself into her arms and began to cry.
”Grandma, I'm so sad.” Miss Wei San wept bitterly.
Zhu Guogong's wife coughed twice, reminding Wei San to pay attention to the occasion and propriety. It's not proper to cry at relatives' homes during the Spring Festival.
The old lady Wei's hand waved to the Duke of the state, ”the child's heart is wronged, so let her cry.”
Mrs. Zhu Guogong sighed, ”my aunt loves her. Why don't we love her. But the decree has been given, and there is no way to change it. ”
Wei San raised her head and yelled, ”my daughter doesn't want to marry to the east palace. I have seen the second master of Donggong. He is a fool. ”
”Nonsense. Think you can talk nonsense in front of your grandmother? Where have the rules been learned? ”
The Duke and wife of the state of Zhu gently scolded Miss Wei San.
Wei San cried again.
The old lady Wei held Wei San in her arms and gently patted her on the back, ”OK, OK, I know you are wronged.”
”My grandmother loves me the most.”
The old lady, Wei Shi, laughed and said, ”you are crying. You see, Xiaojiu didn't cry. She, like you, has been accused of marrying her grandson
Wei San looks at Gu Jiu curiously.
Gu nine slightly nodded, ”Wei three elder sister new year is happy.”
Miss Wei San wiped her tears, ”little sister Jiu, I've heard about you. If you are accused of marrying a young master, what can you do? ”
The Duke and wife of the state of Zhu coughed again and again to remind Wei San to pay attention to her propriety.Miss Wei San lowered her head and bit her lips. She knew that she had gone too far and should not cry at her relatives' house to spoil the interest of others. It's just that she's really upset.
Gu Jiu said to her, ”sister Wei San, don't cry. The edict has been given. We'd better think about what to do in the future.”
Wei San girl nodded, ”thank you, sister Jiu.”
Wei three girls stopped crying, and the lady of the Duke of the state of Chu whispered, ”don't you get up from the old lady quickly. The old lady is so old that she can't stand your agitation. ”
Miss Wei San quickly stood up, ”Auntie and grandmother, your niece and granddaughter let you see jokes.”
The old lady Wei said, ”what are you doing with your grandmother? I know that you have been wronged in your heart, just cry out. ”
Wei San nodded. ”I listen to my grandmother.”
The old lady Wei also told Gu Jiu, ”Xiao Jiu, I have a chance to get close to your sister Haosheng. In the future, it will be difficult for you to get close. ”
For a moment, there was no one talking in the hall.
Everyone thought that Wei San married to the East Palace, and Gu Jiu married to Ning Wang Fu.
The Donggong TONGNING palace is certainly not very good at dealing with it.
After Wei three girls with Gu Jiu, is not to become opponents, enemies?
Everyone's eyes on the two people's face, the heart is also mixed.
This dog day's marriage, the empress came up with this move.
