The two parted in front of the government office.
Gu Changle returned to her home in Fucheng.
In an inconspicuous alley, an ordinary house.
Old man Gu is in the living room, playing chess with himself.
Seeing Gu Changle come back, he smiled and asked, "How was it?"
Gu Changle placed the marriage certificate on the chessboard and covered the chess pieces on it.
"We failed, and then we went directly to get the marriage certificate."
"I will follow him home tomorrow and make up for the worship hall then."
"Did you get it?"
Old Man Gu's eyes shone as he picked up the marriage certificate and read it.
After reading it, he nodded with satisfaction: "My good granddaughter is finally married."
Gu Changle sat down and said somewhat speechlessly: "This is the fifth time I have failed."
"A poor scholar who has failed many times, just helped my grandfather once and asked me to marry him."
"I don't know what you think, grandpa."
Old Man Gu smiled and said, "Grandpa wants you to marry me, so you have to agree."
"Didn't you agree to it yourself so that the marriage certificate can be issued?"
"As long as the birth date is correct and the person is good-looking, it doesn't matter how many times a poor scholar fails the exam."
"Anyway, in this southeastern land, no matter how high a man's status is, he can't be higher than you."
"Anyway, grandpa found someone to find out the details of this person."
"Absolutely innocent."
What Su Yu didn't know was.
The old man Gu he rescued was none other than Gu Fangxu, the king of Huainan who guarded the southeast.
This is the only king with a different surname in the imperial court.
Therefore, as the eldest granddaughter, Gu Changle was granted the title of princess by the court when she was born.
In this land, among people of the same age, the noble status is naturally unmatched.
As a top noble lady.
Even if Gu Changle is twenty years old, he will definitely not worry about finding someone to marry.
But here's the thing.
When Gu Changle was born, Master Mingran of Xiangguo Temple calculated it for her.
He bluntly stated that for the Gu family to be safe and prosperous in the future, Gu Changle's marriage is particularly important.
He gave a birth date and said that Gu Changle's husband must be a person born in this birth date.
The Gu family started planning Gu Changle's marriage when Gu Changle was very young.
Su Yu is not the only person born with this horoscope.
But there are various reasons why it is inappropriate.
This also led to Gu Changle not getting married until now, almost eighteen years old.
And this year, Gu Changle's marriage has changed again, so they can't take it as slowly as usual.
The late wife of Huainan King Gu Fangxu was from Jiangling Prefecture.
Every year at this time, he would change into casual clothes and bring Gu Changle here to mourn his deceased wife.
When I came back this year, I accidentally dropped it in the outer city.
In fact, it's nothing.
But when he met the enthusiastic Su Yu, he carried him back.
After spending the past few days together, he admired this young man very much.
After learning about Su Yu's birth date, I thought that this was a perfect match sent from heaven.
So he tried his best to bring him and his eldest granddaughter together.
Anyway, their Gu family has a high status. Not to mention a small state capital, even in the capital city, not many people can match it.
So it really doesn't matter what the grandson-in-law's background is, whether he is poor or rich.
Gu Fangxu sacrificed his dignity and, as the head of the family, personally arranged the marriage for his eldest granddaughter.
Gu Changle was also very considerate to his doting grandfather.
Old Man Gu mentioned it twice and she agreed.
However, Gu Changle said: "Grandpa."
"Although I received a marriage certificate from the scholar named Su Yu, we are officially married."
"But I can't say that I'm attracted to him."
"A scholar who can't even pass the Tongsheng Examination five times may be secretly a lazy, lazy person."
"If he really has a bad character, once he knows my identity, it will be easy for him to succeed."
"Now our Gu family is a thorn in the emperor's side."
"If he makes a mistake, he could easily cause harm to our family."
"So we need to further examine his character."
Gu Changle, who was brought up by the King of Huainan himself, was naturally not the kind of person who only knew about boudoir affairs.
Now someone in the court proposes to reduce the vassal status.
Although the Gu family has always kept a low profile, they are the only kings with different surnames in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This extended butcher knife could hit their heads at any time.
Be careful no matter what.
Moreover, there is news in the capital that before cutting off the vassal state, the emperor may consider summoning Gu Changle to the capital in advance to marry him, just to stabilize Gu Fangxu.
Therefore, Gu Changle cannot slowly find a husband who matches his birth date.
It happened that Su Yu was suitable in every aspect, so Old Man Gu matched the two of them.
But this marriage cannot be publicized for the time being, otherwise it may attract the attention of the capital.
It remains to be seen what Su Yu's character is and whether he can safeguard the interests of their family.
If you have a good temperament, then decide to tell your family the situation.
Old Man Gu said happily: "Grandpa, I think this young man is good."
"In the past few days we have been together, you can see that he has a calm temperament, and he also has a certain amount of progress and retreat in what he says and does."
"It's absolutely impossible to be the kind of person you say."
When the grandfather and grandson get along, they don't have as many rules as those in a wealthy family.
On the contrary, it was very casual.
Just like the grandparents of ordinary people.
Gu Changle replied funny: "Grandpa, you said it so well, then why did he take the Tongsheng Examination five times and he is not even a Tongshenglang?"
Speaking of this, Old Man Gu couldn't refute it.
After spending the past two days together, he felt that Su Yu was indeed a very good kid.
He will definitely have a great future in the future.
And while talking, sometimes this person's knowledge is not comparable to that of his own prince.
But why is it so difficult for such a person to take the Tongsheng test?
Old Man Gu murmured: "This is indeed a bit difficult to handle."
"Why do you keep failing?"
"But it's not that difficult."
"Tomorrow I will ask someone to go to the prefect and tell him that he will have his house tested."
"The next college examination..."
"Although it's not easy to handle, it's the admiral sent by the imperial court to oversee the academic affairs. Those academic scholars are the most troublesome."
"But as long as I personally take action, the mere reputation of a scholar in Jiangling Mansion will not be a problem at all."
"Let him gain the reputation of being a scholar first, and we will look at the rest later."
Gu Changle was speechless.
"This child's test results have already been revealed..."
The list has been posted, and only then does the behind-the-scenes operation begin.
Old Man Gu smiled and said: "The name is missing, just make it up."
"It's not like this has never happened before, so it's not surprising."
"Okay, let's do it."
"Let him gain fame, and your life won't be too difficult, right?"
Gu Changle said: "Grandpa, you are kind to him."
"Of course, this is the grandson-in-law that I like, grandpa."
Gu Changle smiled and took the marriage certificate that Old Man Gu had read.
"I have to follow him home tomorrow. I can't stay with you, grandpa."
Old Man Gu said "tsk".
"It's his, he's got the marriage certificate, it's time to change his name to husband!"
"Anyway, this boy has tried. You will come back next month to take the college exam."
"Old man, I won't go back to the palace just yet. I will just wait for you here."
Husband...
Gu Changle paused, and the word "husband" rolled in his mouth.
In the end, he had no choice but to change the subject and summon his servants.
"Put the marriage certificate in and pack some bags for me."
