The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 878
Hu Maoshen suddenly thought of Prince Jing's marriage. He wanted Prince Jing to marry a legitimate daughter of a family, which would be more beneficial to Prince Jing.

But if you really marry such a girl, you are afraid that the emperor will be jealous, what a dilemma!

"You don't have to worry about this, I already have a suitable candidate in my heart."

Prince Jing raised the corners of his lips, and his eyes were full of ambition.

"I don't know who the prince likes?"

Hu Maoshen was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the prince had a candidate in his heart.

He thought over the daughters of the aristocratic families in the capital, but he didn't know which one the prince had his eyes on.

"Naturally, she is the eldest daughter of the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen Guo."

Prince Jing's smile was somewhat mysterious, which surprised Hu Mao deeply.

Then he suddenly realized, no wonder the prince was able to invite the wife of the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen's mansion to be his girl's iceman. Did the prince and the Duke of Zhen's mansion have already colluded secretly?
"Are you talking about the granddaughter of former Chief Assistant Liang Zhirui?"

Hu Maoshen was a little surprised by this candidate, so he had to confirm it.

"Are there many daughters-in-law of the head of the Zhen Guo government?"

Prince Jing was a little displeased. Why was Hu Maoshen so surprised? Could it be that Hu Maoshen felt that he was still high?
Hu Maoshen saw that Prince Jing's face was a little dull, he quickly came back to his senses, and replied: "That girl's status is also worthy of you, but that girl is living under the hands of her stepmother. Worse?"

Hu Mao was deeply surprised by King Jing's displeasure, in fact, he thought that the emperor would not agree.

After all, the Duke of Zhen's mansion must have had less influence in the court than when the first emperor was there, but it can still be regarded as an old honor in the capital.

Not to mention the influence of Yao's family members in the court, just because of the intricate in-law relationship, it is impossible for the emperor to agree.

As for the reason he said just now, it was just a small flaw at all, the marriage was due to the in-law relationship of the Duke of Zhenguo and the influence in the court.

For Prince Jing, this is undoubtedly a very good choice.

Even the eldest prince and the second prince, the prostitutes of the chief house of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion are worthy of it.

If parenting is not enough, then just find someone to train them.As long as the inner courtyard can be managed well, it will be fine.

You don't get along well with aristocratic wives, so others can't embarrass you because of your status, can they?

In the end, if Prince Jing aspires to become the king of the world, then the queen who is the mother of the world does not necessarily have to be the concubine!

Hu Maoshen's explanation made Prince Jing's expression soften, but he actually understood what Hu Maoshen meant.

It was nothing more than the feeling that the emperor would not agree, which is why he asked this question.

"If the education is not good enough, I can find the old mother in the palace to teach me. It's not a problem. This king doesn't have high requirements for the princess, and her status can match it."

"As for my father, I will go and talk about it myself. I have never spoken to my father before, and I believe my father will not refute my face too much."

Hu Maoshen couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when King Jing punctured his true thoughts.

However, is Prince Jing really sure that if he asks the emperor, the emperor will agree?Why does he feel less optimistic?

"If that's the case, then it would be great." Hu Maoshen didn't want to pour cold water on King Jing now, so he had to let King Jing try it first.

Early the next morning, Gu Chengyu got up to practice calligraphy.

Now that he has returned to the capital, he will go to the Hanlin Academy to apply for a job today. Anyway, the emperor will definitely summon him today.

In fact, Lu Chen must have entered the palace yesterday, and the emperor should have a general idea about the Hejian Mansion.Coupled with the previous senior brother's report to the emperor, he should not be able to intervene in the affairs of the Hejian Mansion.

The most important thing for him to go today is to hand over the treasure map and some remaining criminal evidence, and to find out if there is any hope for the promotion.

It was early winter, the sky was getting brighter late, and it was still dark outside the window.

Gu Chengyu put down the brush, counting the time, it should be time to use the morning meal.

"My lord! I've got the imperial food, do you want to use it now?"

Li Chun hurried into the room, took a deep look at Gu Chengyu, and then asked respectfully.

"Bring it in!" Gu Chengyu washed his hands with the copper basin that Lonicera brought in.

The little girl who commanded Lichun brought the food to the table, and when Gu Chengyu was seated, she stood aside and hesitated to speak.

"But what's the matter?" Gu Chengyu was a little strange, Li Chun was on duty yesterday and didn't say anything, but today it seemed that there was something unspeakable.

"My lord, during the few days when you were not in the house, the old lady often went out to pay pilgrimage and visit shops."

When Lichun said this, he stopped.

Gu Chengyu was a little displeased, he put down the chopsticks he was holding.

What's the matter with Lichun?It's also good for his mother to go out for a stroll, so as not to be bored in the house all day.

As long as you bring more guards, no one will do anything to a woman, right?

Besides, this is obviously something that the stewards of the inner court and the outer court should report. As a big girl in charge of the yard in Lichun, she stretched her hands too far.

"Oh? The old lady is going out, just bring more guards. Is there anything wrong?"

When Lichun saw Gu Chengyu's complexion darkened, he knew that Gu Chengyu had misunderstood.

"How can there be anything wrong? The servant girl just wanted to report to you, the lord. The old lady ran into the princess of the eldest princess's house when she left the mansion. The two of them got very close these few days, and the princess often came to play in the mansion. .The servant girl looks at the old lady in a much better mood than before, and she is very congenial with the princess!" Li Chun hurriedly explained.

"Who? Princess Rongjia?" Gu Chengyu was taken aback when he heard the words. Isn't the eldest princess's family the Princess Rongjia?

Didn't it mean that the princess is aloof and a little difficult to get close to?
It's not that he belittled his mother, his mother was originally a girl, and his family was a farmer.

Although she is now an official wife, she always has a snobbish eye and looks down on the Gu family who has no background.

After all, this dynasty is like this, and those aristocratic families are used to being superior.

It seems that he also made the same mistake as Zhu Pang!Next time, you still can't judge a person's character based on hearsay.

Maybe the princess doesn't have that temperament at all, it's just because of her innate nobility that people don't feel close to her!
"Yes! It's Princess Rongjia. Yesterday, the princess invited the old lady to pay homage to Baoen Temple!"

When Lichun saw Gu Chengyu's pensive face, she clasped her hands tightly, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Speaking of Baoen Temple, Gu Chengyu suddenly thought of the eldest princess.The last time he took his mother to Baoen Temple to offer incense, he was belittled by the eldest princess overtly and secretly.

Now the family's daughter and his mother often come and go, the eldest princess might think that his family is trying to curry favor with her!

It would be embarrassing to send someone to warn him and his mother again.

After thinking about it, Gu Chengyu still felt that he should persuade his mother to stay away from Princess Rongjia.The eldest princess is not easy to get along with, he doesn't want to be misunderstood.
