Chapter 2858: Sudden change, Wei Xiao goes to Beijing to seek throne

Cheng Ge'er understood, but he grinned and said something that almost made Wei Changwu angry to death: "There are many people in the capital who are eager to see the Marquis of Lu's Mansion be the last, and I know that the risks on the sea are high, so in order to have fewer people in the world, She is a widow who is determined to marry late... You can find Brother Wang, he has already established a career and it is time to start a family."

Gu Dewang was eating chicken drumsticks. After hearing this, he almost bit his tongue and said hurriedly: "I came to the capital on a mission, and a lady like this is not suitable for me... If you want to live a life without suffering a loss, you have to find a shrew like my mother."

Wei Changwu was furious. Who are these two? What does the master see in them? !

Brother Yi heard this as soon as he entered the door and asked in surprise: "What is your purpose in coming to pick up Xiaoxinghua?"

Gu Dewang: "Don't worry, we are just here to take a look. If you don't like her, you won't marry her. If you do, you will definitely treat her sincerely."

After hearing this, Brother Yi felt relieved. He looked at Brother Cheng and then at Gu Dewang and said, "That little Xinghua is very suitable for you. She is very fierce and smart. If you marry her, she will help you take care of the house." , your family will definitely not suffer any loss."

Brother Yi thought of what Xiao Xinghua did in Gujiacun and Changliangwei, and felt that Xiao Xinghua and Gu Dewang were a good match.

Gu Dewang twitched his lips and said: "That's what you think, but with Brother Cheng here, the Xiao family is crazy to fall in love with me. I'm just here to make money... Stop talking, eat and sleep quickly, and send the person back tomorrow After the city, I still have to go to the Yamen to run errands."

He earned this windfall by taking time off.

But he thought differently, Mrs. Xiao really thought he was good.

 …

"Sister Hua, what do you think of Master Gu?" Mrs. Xiao hugged Xiao Xinghua and said with red eyes: "Master Gu and the Marquis of Lu came to pick you up today, but they are actually looking at you secretly."

Mrs. Xiao has a sharp eye and has already understood the purpose of Gu Dewang and Brother Cheng. However, she is not angry, just because Sister Hua's marriage is difficult to handle, and it would be great if she could join the Gu family.

“Pfft!” Xiao Xinghua was drinking ginseng soup. After hearing this, she was so frightened that she spat out the ginseng soup. She looked at Mrs. Xiao and asked in surprise: “Am I so popular?”

Mrs. Xiao smiled: "You are the only daughter of me and your father, so you are naturally in demand. But most of the other families who come to ask for marriage are interested in our family's power and do not treat you sincerely. They may also..."

Mrs. Xiao paused, then shed tears again. She considered her words and said, "Although the Duke of Qin's wife has testified for you, you have lived abroad after all. Those who kidnapped you want to sell you to the army as a slave girl." ...These things can be found with a little research. The noble family has strict rules. Even if they marry you, the arrogant family may not mind in their hearts. Therefore, your parents don't expect you to marry well, they only want to be sincere. I don’t care about your missing loved one when I treat you.”

"The Qin and Gu families know your details best. They have survived the famine and are much more open-minded than others. They won't mind. Therefore, Mr. Gu and Marquis of Lu are very suitable for you...but my mother prefers Mr. Gu."

Then she told Xiao Xinghua the reason: "The Marquis of Lu is too noble. If you marry him, if you get angry, the family can't help you... Mr. Gu is different. His family relied on the Duke of Qin. His family background is ordinary, his father is honest, his mother is Although he is fierce, he is very aware of current affairs and has a good heart. If he bullies you, your father can knock on you at any time. Mr. Gu is still a capable man. Not only was he admitted to Jinshi, he also did very well in the household department, and he was also good at dancing. , is very good at getting along with people, and has a sharp mind. He has made a lot of private money by relying on the small business he does in his spare time. "

After completing his experience in the Sixth Ministry, Gu Dewang officially entered the Ministry of Household Affairs and became a sixth-grade junior official.

After Mrs. Xiao finished speaking, she raised her hand to touch Xiao Xinghua's head and said: "Sister Hua, think about it carefully. If you are interested, don't miss it. Make a decision first... Mr. Gu is also very popular, and many people I want him as my son-in-law.”

Xiao Xinghua has been planning her own marriage since she was eight years old, so she does not object to getting married. After thinking about Gu Dewang's appearance, she felt that he was quite handsome. Then thinking about Madam and her brother...ah, he is so handsome and good-looking. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to tie her up!

It was difficult for Xiao Xinghua to make a choice, and she didn't want to let go of these two good marriages. She thought about it again and again, and said to Mrs. Xiao: "Mom... why don't you be nice to them and give them a little bit of meaning, so as not to make them too discouraged. , I’ll talk about it after I go see Madam on the 13th.”

This girl really relies on Mrs. Qin Guogong, and Mrs. Xiao is jealous, but she is also very happy that her daughter can have multiple backers: "Sure, but you can't have private contact with them, let alone give or accept things from them. We have to Be reserved and don’t cause gossip.”

"My daughter understands, don't worry, mother!" Xiao Xinghua promised, but: "I want to see Brother Yi and inquire about their news from Brother Yi." Mrs. Xiao thought for a while and agreed.

The next morning, Xiao Xinghua met Brother Yi and found out from him...

"What, they have no interest in me, they are just here to make money? Bastard, you dare to make money from me, you must share half of it, otherwise I will never be done with them!" Xiao Xinghua was so angry that she pointed at her face and said: "I look like They are so good-looking, but they are not interesting at all, they are still not men!"

"If these words are heard, your reputation will be in jeopardy." Brother Yi reminded her.

 Xiao Xinghua akimbo: "That's just me. They don't like me anyway, so I'm just pretending."

He said again: "Go and let each of them bring five thousand taels, otherwise no one will be able to live well!"

"Okay, I'll go tell them." Brother Yi also felt that Gu Dewang and the others should give half of the reward to Xiao Xinghua, so he went to Gu Dewang and the others to talk about the matter.

 Brother Cheng laughed when he heard this, patted Gu Dewang on the shoulder, and said: "It's really fierce and suitable for you. You are short of a wife anyway, so why not propose marriage."

Gu Dewang opened his hand and said: "It's so easy to marry a daughter-in-law. Why don't you wait a little longer? Stop laughing and quickly get the banknote and ask Brother Yi to give it to Miss Xiao."

It is indeed not good to use people to make money, but if you give them money, you will cooperate and you will feel at ease.

 Brother Cheng: “It’s done, take it now.”

The two of them each took five thousand taels of silver notes and gave them to Brother Yi: "Give them to Miss Xiao and say sorry for us... Prince Wei forced us to do this, but her marriage was indeed discussed by many people. Keep an eye on her, when she comes to Beijing, she will definitely encounter a lot of schemes, you tell her to be careful and protect herself, marrying the wrong person will ruin her life."

"Okay, I will tell you." Brother Yi brought the banknotes and the message.

After hearing this, Xiao Xinghua asked: "Who said this?"

Brother Yi said, "It's Uncle Wang."

"Uncle Wang?" Xiao Xinghua's mouth twitched when she heard this: "He looks like he's not even twenty yet, and you're calling him old."

However, she didn’t expect that Gu Dewang would remind her of this.

 Could it be that…

 Xiao Xinghua exclaimed: "Could it be that he saw my beauty and fell in love with me, so he reminded me?"

Brother Yi's face was a little hard to explain: "I'm not sure. Anyway, after you enter Beijing, you really have to be careful. There are many tricks at the banquet with female guests... I'm leaving and I'm about to set off."

"Wait a minute." Xiao Xinghua called to Brother Yi and said, "Keep an eye on them both for me to see which one of them is interested in me?"
