Chapter fifty-one bow down
The Grand Tutor Wang had just returned from the cabinet at night. When he saw Zhu Yuan, he greeted her kindly and said, "I knew you were coming."
Zhu Yuan and Wang Taifu have been getting along more frequently these days. With the excuse of treating the disease, she was free to go in and out of the Wang family. When she heard Wang Taifu say this, she did not deny it, but just smiled faintly: "Then you must also know why I came? The palace is now proclaiming me to enter the palace. Do you know why it is for?"
The Grand Tutor Wang signaled his servant to retreat, picked up the teacup and shook his head with a smile: "It's a good thing, a great thing."
A great thing...
Zhu Yuan looked at the cup in front of him and asked without changing his face: "I don't know what a good thing is?"
"Do you know Shangshu Gu?" Grand Tutor Wang touched his beard and smiled: "After the discussion in the imperial study room today, Shangshu Gu specially asked the emperor to give him a grace, saying that their wife had made an agreement with your mother to become a family of children and had exchanged the token. He asked the emperor to marry his legitimate son Gu Chuanjie for you."
The Grand Tutor Wang seemed to be in a good mood, nodded and said, "The Gu family stood up at this time, which is considered to be affectionate and loyal, and can keep their promises. And they did not refuse and perfunctory. They would just give up the responsibility if they came out. This is a good marriage."
After all, the family is good, and Gu Chuanjie is not an ordinary playboy. The tutor Wang also asked, it turned out that Gu Chuanjie had already participated in the provincial examination in his hometown and was already a juren. This is rare, it can be seen that the Gu family has a good family style and the children he taught are also good.
Seeing that Zhu Yuan did not express his opinion, he kindly advised her: "Girl, I know you can do it, but this time you face the Sheng family, even if the Sheng family really collapses or is seriously damaged, your life will be worrying in the future. After all, there are too many people offended and you have done a lot of things too well. I have advised you to do this before, but now that you have done this step, it is meaningless to say that. Now that you have this marriage, you will finally have a strong support in the future, and those who are ill-intentioned should also consider it."
Zhu Yuan sneered.
It seems that Gu Chuanjie did pretend well before, and he did put in a lot of effort before she appeared, so even the Taifu Wang said good things about him.
Seeing that the Grand Tutor Wang looked at him in surprise, she shook her head firmly: "I can't agree to this marriage."
She did not delay and told her what Mrs. Gu had asked her a few days ago. Seeing that Mrs. Wang frowned and tightened, she sneered: "After all, the Gu family just thought that this engagement could be regarded as a bargaining chip to please the Sheng family, so she planned to fulfill it. For so many years, before I showed my value, the Gu family did not plan to fulfill it."
The movements in Wang Taifu stopped and slowly placed the cup on the table.
To put it this way, Gu Mingzhang actually has something to do with Master Sheng Ge.
But Gu Mingzhang has never formed a clique on the surface and is very clean.
What's more, the Sheng family is now in decline, and the emperor's attitude is very clear. Why does the Gu family still insist on getting up?
There must be some reason, so Gu Mingzhang is really a great man. In order to save the Sheng family, the Luxing family will throw their son out, right?
"Do you want me to check the Gu family?" Mr. Wang touched his beard: "They even asked the emperor to give in. It is indeed unreasonable to use the emperor to marry you..."
"There is nothing unreasonable. After all, if the emperor agrees to this marriage, it is a gift of golden words and jade words. If the woman gets married and is married, then my fate is equivalent to being held in the hands of the Gu family. If the Gu family wants me to let the Sheng family go, can I still not agree? However, their efforts are indeed not like their style of dealing with things. I think it must be that they have some handles that the Sheng family is held in their hands, or, simply, they want to use the Sheng family to cover up some handles for them."
That's why the Gu family did such a bad thing in the last life, first proposing marriage to her and then quitting her, and then turning around and asking for a marriage to Zhu Xi.
The King's Master Wang said with a deep expression: "I understand. I will look up to people to check this matter. However... he has already asked the emperor to have a token. If you want to refuse, there should be a reason. Otherwise, wouldn't you sue your father and not obey your mother's last order? In fact, this time, you have a bad reputation among literati. If you add one, it will be troublesome."
The mouth of the civil servant, the knife of the murderous person.
Zhu Yuan is doing well now. After all, it is because of the fact that he took advantage of the opportunity to deliberately flatter Emperor Jiaping, but Emperor Jiaping will be annoyed sooner or later, and this reliance cannot last.
He thought for a while and said, "Unless you find a legitimate reason to break off the engagement."
Su Fu waited for a long time before waiting for Zhu Yuan to come out and hurriedly asked her: "How is it? Did the Grand Tutor tell you the reason for entering the palace?"
Zhu Yuan got on the carriage and told Su Fu about the matter. Su Fu was anxious: "The Gu family is so uneasy and kind, but they just asked the emperor to marry him directly. What should we do?"
"I've figured out a way." Zhu Yuan comforted her. When he returned to the house where Yang Yuqing and the others rented, he went straight into his house and took a brocade box and handed it to Yang Yuqing: "I want to ask you to go there. This thing must be handed over to Jinchang and let him hand it to His Highness himself."
Yang Yuqing rarely saw her solemn appearance. After a moment of silence, she hurriedly agreed and went out carefully.
Zhu Yuan asked Xiang Wentian again, "Have you received the news yet?"
He shook his head to Wentian, feeling quite distraught: "Girl, logically speaking, the time is almost over and there should be news, but there is still no news. Could it be that something happened to the prefect Su?"
Could it be that Su Wanli was afraid and disobeyed the situation, but actually didn't do it according to the plan?
Zhu Yuan saw his irritability and raised his hand to signal him to calm down. After thinking about it, he shook his head: "No, Su Wanli is a smart person. Besides, he has completely offended the Sheng family when he helped us last time. He should know that even if he regrets this at this time, the Sheng family will not accept his kindness. He will not do such stupid things. Don't worry, wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Fu knocked in and said to her: "Yuanyuan, we just came back from the eyeliner of the Zhu family and reported that Mr. Sheng personally brought a generous gift to the Zhu family to see you, and said he brought Zhu Zhengsong's handwritten letter."
