"Your sister-in-law is naturally good at everything."
Zhu Biao praised his wife lovingly, and then felt a little disappointed.
"It's a pity. You also met the Gu family girl today, right?"
"That girl is so handsome that people are attracted to her. She is also good at reading. Her handwriting is no worse than that of a hero. She is generous and decent."
"Pity!"
"It's all my fault, that bastard Hu Yi!"
If it weren't for that bastard, Guang Xi could have walked away from the marriage without knowing it.
The baby born by Xiongying and Gu Yatou will definitely look better.
What a pity, what a pity!
"Brother, I think this is quite good."
Zhu Di put down the wine glass in his hand and leaned slightly towards his eldest brother.
"When has there not been a beautiful girl? What kind of noble girl can't you marry with your status?"
"Gu Guangxi's status is not bad, but his background is still a bit weak."
"Dad wants to invade Japan. The southwest is not stable yet, and the north is still watching. I think Xiongying should marry the girl of the lord's general."
"It's true that if we get closer, we will open up new territories for the Ming Dynasty in the future."
"As for the girl who is a civil servant, if she is destined, then she will be chosen as the second concubine."
"Forget it if we don't have fate, everything must still focus on stabilizing the imperial power."
He doesn't know about it in the future. Anyway, at the moment, he thinks it is still necessary for his eldest nephew to marry a military general. Otherwise, how can he rest assured that people will work for you?
Without the restraint, what if one of the mercenaries rebels?
Unless, when the country is completely stable, there will be no war to fight.
Then the emperor and princes can marry whoever they want without being bound by these interests.
"Do you also support dad's attack on Japan?"
Zhu Biao was noncommittal about this, he was more concerned about his younger brother's thoughts.
"Of course." Zhu Di said without hesitation: "But you are just a barbarian, you really think you are the son of God, how dare you speak to the Celestial Empire like this."
"According to my temper, even if I don't have gold and silver, I still have to go up and beat them up, so I won't consider such a problem."
"It's just that both you and dad want to be emperors, so naturally you have to think more. I'm not the emperor, so I don't have to think so much."
He is protected by his father and eldest brother, so he can just attack anyone he doesn't like.
I still have my father-in-law to protect me. When I feel bad, I go to find some soft persimmons outside the Great Wall and pinch them. Don’t mention how beautiful this day is.
"You are the only one who dares to say this!"
Zhu Biao didn't care about what he said. He just scolded his brother lovingly and didn't mention Gu Chen's matter.
"I heard that Uncle Xu is in much better health now. After you go back, my father's intention is to let Uncle Xu respond to Tianlai to recuperate."
"Beiping is not as good at raising people as Yingtian, and the climate is not as good as Yingtian. Also, dad is afraid that he won't be able to see Uncle Xu."
"They are lifelong brothers. It would be a pity if we really can't see each other again. You and your siblings must understand your father's thoughts."
When people get old, they will naturally miss the past. Uncle Xu has been tired for a lifetime, so he should take a rest and stop running around outside.
"Brother, I don't have to."
Zhu Di also understood that he would not have any objections, but he was just a little unhappy in his heart.
Because his father sent Fu Youde and Lan Yu to Peking together.
Forget it for Fu Youde.
That guy Lan Yu is not very likable, at least he doesn't like him.
Too domineering!
Too arbitrary!
Compared to the gentle and kind father-in-law, that is really far behind.
The thought of working with such a person made him irritated.
It was autumn at this time, and there was a cool breeze in the evening. Gu An got up quietly after being called by his superiors, dodging the night watchers and getting ready to go out.
"Brother Anzi?"
At this time, Pearl, who was already fifteen years old, appeared holding a lantern.
"It's so late, where are you going?"
The girl's voice is pleasant and her tone is gentle, so as not to make people's hearts flutter.
Gu An looked at the graceful pearl, his heart beat twice for some reason, and his tone was softer than that of others.
"My friend asked me to go out for two drinks. Pearl, don't tell me."
A graceful lady, a gentleman is fond of quarrels.
Even if he is a Jinyiwei who has been trained since childhood, he will inevitably escape the word love.
What's more, they grew up together.
Hearing this, Pearl smiled, stepped forward and put the lantern into Gu An's hand, then took out the needle and thread in her purse and sewed clothes for him.
"You don't even know if your clothes are torn. Brother Anzi has reached the age of getting married."
"It's so sloppy that my future wife will dislike it."
"Speaking of which, I'm old enough, and a few days ago my wife said she wanted to look after people for me."
The girl lowered her head shyly as she spoke, which made people wonder.
Gu An lowered his head and looked at the girl's fair cheeks and neck. He couldn't help but swallowed and stammered: "Pearl, you..."
He originally wanted to confess his love, but Pearl covered his mouth.
"Don't keep your friend waiting. We can wait until you come back to talk about anything else."
Gu An was indeed in a hurry, so he had no choice but to turn his head and go into the night.
He was a little worried, so he turned around and said again: "Pearl, you must not tell the master, you will be punished for sneaking out late at night."
Pearl smiled and nodded, waving her hand again, signaling him to go to hell.
What Gu An didn't know was that after he left, Pearl's originally smiling face faded, and then she went back expressionlessly.
Fengtian Temple.
San'er never dreamed that although he was a lurking member of Jinyiwei, he would not be brave enough to meet the emperor.
"When did Gu Guangxi's girl get engaged?"
Lao Zhu held a pair of vases from the Song Dynasty. After admiring them for a long time, he couldn't appreciate anything, so he simply put them down and started drinking tea.
"Back to Your Majesty, it was decided half a month ago."
San'er's eyes rolled. Was this why His Majesty called him here?
Lao Zhu frowned: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
If he had said it earlier, he could have mentioned this matter to Gu Chen earlier.
"Your Majesty, this... doesn't it mean that if it's nothing important, just report it once a month?"
Is it an important matter for a girl to arrange a baby kiss?
Lao Zhu: "..."
He choked, but it was really not a big deal.
"Let me ask you, did Gu Guangxi say anything about King Wu in private? Was he dissatisfied with King Wu? Did he not want to marry the royal family?"
Although he didn't think so, there were some things that weren't a problem for him.
"Back to Your Majesty, when Mr. Gu was at home, he mentioned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Changsun. He always said good things. Yesterday, he even scolded Brother Xiu."
"It's said that His Highness Changsun could read a hundred poems when he was three years old. Unlike him, it took him two days to memorize a poem full of red poems."
When Lao Zhu heard someone praising his eldest grandson, a smile appeared on his face.
His eldest grandson is naturally good.
As for whether he doesn't want to marry the royal family, that's for sure.
He could feel it, but he thought about Pearl's shy look.
San'er's heart felt hot, and the words came to her mouth.
"Everyone in this world wants to marry the royal family, and Lord Gu is no exception."
It's normal for children to get married if they don't want to. Why would you say it to Mr. Gu and make him dissatisfied?
Mr. Gu is having a hard time, so can Pearl and himself have a better life?
Mr. Gu is neither greedy nor treasonous, so why is he guilty of not wanting to get married?
As long as Mr. Gu doesn't do bad things in his life, for Pearl's sake.
If His Majesty should not know, he should not let His Majesty know.
"We understand, let's go."
The candlelight was dim, and San'er kept his head lowered. Naturally, Lao Zhu didn't know his changes in mind, and all his suspicions were dispelled.
Yes, who would look down on his eldest grandson?
Lao Zhu laughed and shook his head. It seemed that it was really a matter of fate between the two children.
If that's the case, then we have to forget it, the girl is right.
It's not like it was before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Was it really possible to grab it by force?
What a pity!
"San'er is a grown up child now, and he is treated very well. It is inevitable that things will go wrong, so I will try to find a way to find someone to take care of the family."
"The same goes for other companies. They don't have to communicate with the first group."
As the official gets older, his heart may become bigger, so it never hurts to be on guard.
An extra pair of eyes means more protection.
