Several people gathered together, and it suddenly became very lively.

The ladies of each house watched and peeked at Baozhu and the others opposite from time to time. Mrs. Sun felt most at ease. Of course, she also had to look at the other side, fearing that Sun Ziyuan might not be able to control herself for a moment and expose her image of a tomboy.

Fortunately, even though she was worried for a long time, Sun Ziyuan behaved very well.

Until the end of the banquet, Baozhu asked Jiang Cheng again for confirmation. After getting a positive answer, Baozhu told Jiang Yingxiong about the matter, received Jiang Yingxiong's nod, and left with the imperial edict.

Carriages left the palace one after another.

Grandma Hao had been with Jiang Qiuniang. As soon as she saw Jiang Cheng getting on the carriage, she couldn't wait to ask.

"How's it going? Have you seen the girls from the Wu family and the girls from the Yun family that I mentioned?"

"Saw it."

Jiang Cheng smiled lightly and said: "However, the emperor wants to marry the eldest daughter of the Gu family to me."

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to tell Granny Hao about this matter in advance to save her from worrying about it.

"Gu family? Which Gu family?"

When Granny Hao heard this, she immediately asked.

She had been busy for Jiang Cheng's marriage for more than half a month and had inquired about almost all the girls from the aristocratic families in the capital. Now when she heard about the girl from the Gu family, she became a little anxious.

As far as he knew, there were three or four families with the surname Gu in Shangjing.

"Master Gu of Hanlin Academy."

Jiang Cheng explained patiently: "Don't worry, mother. The emperor can never be wrong about the person he likes. In short, this marriage is granted by the emperor, so don't worry about it."

Grandma Hao thought so too.

The emperor's grant of marriage shows that the emperor values ​​Jiang Cheng.

She should be happy.

At the worst, I can go back and secretly inquire about Miss Gu's temper tomorrow.

The next day, Baozhu left the palace with the imperial edict and went straight to the Gu family.

At this time, the Gu family also welcomed a matchmaker because of a palace banquet.

"What a happy event. I'm here to propose marriage on behalf of the Wang family. Does the second son of the Wang family know?"

The matchmaker happily took a sip of tea, and before Master Gu and Mrs. Gu could speak, the matchmaker continued.

"Speaking of which, the Wang family is still your boss, Mr. Gu. I should know the Wang family better than I do, old lady. After all, the Wang family is an aristocratic family with a rich family. If you, Miss Gu, marry one of them, you will have a blessed life."

He looked around the Gu family with his triangular eyes. Although Mr. Gu was a fourth-rank minister, he was not too shabby compared with the magnificent Wang family.

"My lord, this marriage will only be good for your Gu family, and will definitely not do any harm. If this marriage is successful, my lord, you will have a prosperous official career with the Wang family to take care of you from now on."

Master Gu's complexion gradually turned dark.

What does she mean? Does she mean that he went through the back door?

Mrs. Gu looked embarrassed. She knew the master's temper best. Otherwise, he would not have been promoted in the official position for so many years.

"So, why did the Wang family suddenly fall in love with our eldest girl?"

She has an impression of the Wang family. The second son of the Wang family is a proper playboy.

I spent the whole day hungover in a brothel. It is said that a leg was broken the year before last and I was walking with a limp.

Master Gu doesn't care about this. She doesn't know what Erlang Wang is, but she knows.

However, she will not remind Mr. Gu.

"Master, the matchmaker is right. The Wang family is indeed good. How about... let's agree first?"

she asked tentatively.

"I don't agree."

Mr. Gu was just about to say a few words when Gu Qiyun at the door helped Mrs. Gu in.

Mrs. Gu glared at the guilty Mrs. Gu and sneered: "I know you have no good intentions. No matter how rich the Wang family is, our Gu family can't reach it."

"Hey, how can you, an old lady, talk?"

The matchmaker was unhappy. Of course she knew that Gu Qiyun was the eldest daughter of the Gu family, but Mrs. Gu was the housekeeper of the Gu family.

Although she is a stepmother, she has always been a matchmaker ordered by her parents since ancient times. The Wang family paid her a lot of money this time to give her a good reward.

Before she came to the Gu family, she had already promised Mrs. Wang that she would help her arrange the marriage.

"Hmph, I don't need you to question what I am saying. My granddaughter will not marry into the Wang family. Don't think I don't know what you think, Mrs. Li. It's just that Yun'er is gone and she's easy to bully. Let me tell you,

Yun'er and I, the mistress, are here."

Mrs. Gu pointed at Mrs. Gu's nose and cursed.

Mrs. Gu covered the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said with a tearful voice: "Mom, how can you say that to me? I...I also do it for Yun'er's own good. She is not young anymore. If I keep dragging it on, who will?

Dare to marry her."

"Yun'er is only sixteen years old this year. Why is he so young? Where is the Wang family? Don't tell me that you don't know. Who is that second son of the Wang family? He broke his leg the year before last and was still hungover in the Flower House a few days ago.

, fought with Mr. Zhang for Hualou, how could such a person be a good match?"

"You are clearly trying to push Yun'er into the fire pit."

Gu Qiyun's eyes were red and she helped Mrs. Gu sit down.

Mr. Gu finally understood. No wonder the Wang family suddenly asked to marry the eldest daughter of his family. It turned out to be because the second son in the family was useless and his character was so corrupt.

His face instantly darkened, and he turned to look at Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu looked pale and explained feebly: "I, I really don't know. Master...don't you also know the character of the second young master of the Wang family?"

After hearing this explanation, Mr. Gu's expression improved slightly and he turned his anger towards the matchmaker.

When the matchmaker took a look, it seemed that the Gu family's marriage was unlikely to work out.

Since she couldn't make money from the Wang family, she had no choice but to leave the Gu family, a place of right and wrong.

"Wait a minute, take everything you brought with you."

Master Gu called her and asked his servants to pick up the things she had brought and put them back into her hands.

"You, just wait, Mr. Gu, you will regret it."

If he offended their matchmakers, he would offend all the matchmakers by going to the capital.

"Humph, I won't regret it. Even if I want to be promoted, I won't do it by selling my daughter. I might as well go home and farm."

Master Gu looked so insulted that he clasped his hands behind his back and wanted to give it away.

"Master, the young lady has come with the palace's decree."

Young lady?

Master Gu was stunned for a moment. Not only him, but also the expressions of everyone else in the hall changed.

Who is the young lady?

That was Princess Yuanchen, the founder of Women’s School and The Times.

He came as soon as he came and brought an imperial edict. Could it be that their master is going to be promoted!

It was rare for Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu to have such a tacit understanding. They called the servants to burn incense to welcome the imperial edict.

It doesn’t matter if the matchmaker leaves, it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, an imperial edict came from the palace. Now that the Gu family is prosperous, they won't hate her, right?

"Wang Matchmaker, there is something big going on at home, so I won't keep you here. Come, let me see you off."
