Gu Jingzhi did not remember the scene at the wedding banquet in his previous life. He looked ahead and pretended to listen carefully to his grandfather's speech, but secretly observed the reaction of his aunt Song Wanru.
Song Wanru sat quietly under the old lady, smiling lightly all the time. She was not excited when she heard that the title was passed to her father, and she was not angry when her grandfather said that he would make her the heir apparent. There was no trace of fluctuation on her face.
Song Wanru hated her aunt Shen Yin, and she also hated herself as a bastard. She wanted to drink blood and cut out her bones. Suddenly she learned that the future owner of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion was not her son. She didn't even have any emotional changes. Was it because her acting skills were too good or she had already obtained it? information?
Did she really know about her grandfather’s book? Gu Jingzhi suddenly had this suspicion.
I saw Song Wanru smiling, suddenly turned to Gu Jingzhi, and said: "Father, mother, Jingzhi has been raised by my daughter-in-law since he was two years old. Although Jing Shen and Jing Xing are my biological children, my daughter-in-law feels that Jingzhi and I are My own son is no different. He started practicing martial arts when he was four years old. He has always been diligent, even if it rains or winds, he is also very diligent in reading and writing. He never makes us worry. It is not that the daughter-in-law is boasting, saying that he is superior in literary skills and martial arts. It’s not an exaggeration, it’s Jingzhi who should inherit our title of Marquis of Zhongyong.”
The old lady nodded in agreement, smiled and patted Song Wanru's hand, "The fourth daughter-in-law is really virtuous and generous. Our Gu family has gained a good daughter-in-law!"
Song Wanru's face remained as usual, and she cursed in her heart: "Old beggar, your bastard wants to seize the title, so you will do anything and everything, but when it's my turn, I have to be virtuous and virtuous. Bah!"
"Mother, you are ridiculously complimenting me. My daughter-in-law is ashamed to deserve it." Song Wanru chuckled lightly and said through gritted teeth.
Song Wanru stood up and bowed to the old Marquis, saying: "Father and mother, since the invitation to be crowned Crown Prince has been handed over to the Holy Emperor, my father has been in the Holy Heart for a long time and will not reject it."
The old Marquis nodded, he still had some confidence.
Song Wanru continued: "Jingzhi will be eighteen years old soon. How many brothers from such a big family in other houses have not married into concubines? When they talk about this matter when they go around in different houses, the daughter-in-law can only cover it up again and again. It's not the daughter-in-law." Dear, I really don’t dare to make the decision without permission, what do you think, father and mother...?"
The old lady glanced at Song Wanru approvingly and said with a smile: "What the fourth daughter-in-law said is right. Human relations are important matters. Jing Zhi is too sensible to mention it. As elders, we cannot be confused. We have to make plans for him."
Being talked about human relations in public, Gu Jingzhi blushed and looked shy, "Grandma, my grandson doesn't want to have a concubine before he gets married."
The old lady was full of anger when she mentioned this, "It's all your fault, that old ghost grandfather of yours, for setting a certain marriage for you. That girl from the Zhang family first died of her grandmother, and she just came out of the period of filial piety. Now her mother died, and she harmed my brother." We still have to wait three years.”
After the old lady blamed the old Marquis, she felt sorry for her second grandson and said to him: "Grandma knows that my brother is kind-hearted and wants to give face to that girl from the Zhang family. Don't worry, the Zhang family has already informed about this matter and will mention it to you first." One or two common concubines are waiting on her. She is in her prime of life, so she cannot leave her alone."
Gu Jingzhi's blood was not only strong, but also full of blood, and his face turned red.
Song Wanru smiled proudly and brought up the topic, and the old lady took up the topic.
As expected, the old lady was impatient and beckoned to Mother Lu, "Gui Ju, you and Fan Xing are best friends. Has she ever mentioned to you which of the girls in Xuexuan are more valued by Jing Zhi?"
Fan Xing was Li's mother, and she used to serve the old lady. The old lady arranged for her to be Gu Jingzhi's housekeeper in Tingxue Xuan.
Mother Lu recalled it and organized her words, "Fan Xing said that the most important thing in the second master's yard is the second-class maid Qiwei, and the eldest maid Muxiang is also rewarded a lot."
The old lady nodded. It was her first taste of human affairs. The two women had done enough. It was better for the young man not to be too greedy for pleasure. One of them was proposed as a concubine, and the one who liked the grandson the most was promoted as a concubine. He then asked, "Which one did Jingzhi take with him when he went to Zhuangzi?"
"The ones I brought were Caiwei and Cailian." Mother Lu replied, always wondering in her heart why the second master doted on these two little girls. What could he do at only eight or nine years old? Can you take care of the grooming? Or can it add fragrance to the red sleeves?
Oh, three girls. When the old lady heard that there was another Cailian, she thought to herself, then two of them will be the common room and the other will be the concubine. She didn’t know which one was more important, so she directly asked her grandson, "Jing Zhi, Cai Wei, Mu Xiang and Cai Lian are called Cai Lian, right?"
Mother Lu replied loudly: "Miss, her name is Cai Lian, which means lotus." The old lady is old and has some deafness.
Gu Jingchao was toasting with his fourth uncle Gu Huainan. When he heard someone talking about picking lotus, he stopped and looked towards the old lady.
The old lady nodded and then asked her grandson, "Caiwei, Muxiang or Cailian, which one do you like best?"
Gu Jingzhi wanted to say, I don't like anyone. Before he could answer, a bell-like voice sounded from the men's side, "I like picking lotus, I like picking lotus the most!"
The old lady looked embarrassed. It would be difficult if both grandsons liked her. The eldest grandson Jingchao is not very smart and is still very old. It is the first time he has someone he likes. Since he can say it in public, he must really want it.
After thinking about it, he said to his second grandson: "Jing Chao likes lotus picking very much. See if you can give it to him, and grandma will make up a good one for you!"
"No need to make up for it, just give it to big brother! It's enough as long as I have Caiwei to take care of you!"
good! The old lady was very happy. Her eldest grandson liked to pick lotuses, and her second grandson liked to pick weeds. They all proposed to be concubines, and Muxiang became the first wife. She immediately made the final decision, "Fourth daughter-in-law, you make arrangements. Brother Chao and Brother Chao from the Sixth Chu Gang and Brother Zhi will take care of it, set up a few tables, and let the two brothers take concubines. The lotus will be picked up for Brother Chao, and the weeping will be given to Brother Zhi. Muxiang will propose the marriage first, and we will talk about it after Mrs. Zhang comes in. "
Others didn't know it, but Mother Lu knew it. Both Caiwei and Cailian were only eight or nine years old. How could they be concubines? She quickly interrupted the old lady, "Miss, Caiwei and Cailian are both little girls."
"How many grades are they both in?"
"Cai Wei is the second class, Cai Lian is only the third class" Mother Lu answered truthfully.
"What's the point? I'm a first-class person. Gui Ju, you are really stupid. You still have to ask me about such a trivial matter! I don't need you to serve me anymore. Come on down!" The old lady was very unhappy. She solved two problems today. I am very happy about my grandson's important human relations matter, but Gui Ju is getting older and has lost his expression. What's wrong!
However, the little girl I am talking about is young, not low-level! Mother Lu screamed in her heart but did not dare to say it out loud. The young lady has the most respect, how could she refute her in front of so many children and grandchildren? Let’s talk to her in detail later!
