A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 208 Marriage (Part [-])
Although Gu Zhan has not been in Beijing for a long time, he obviously knows all the sensitive people in the center of imperial power.

He immediately understood: "Which Concubine Wen's direct sister?"

It's just obvious that he didn't figure it out, and his tone was obviously a bit puzzled.

"Yes! It's her." Qi Huan said: "She was sitting in front of me on the left last night. According to the chaos and the direction everyone was walking at that time, she had every chance to plot against me."

What Gu Zhan wanted to ask was obviously more than this.

Qi Huan stared at the footprints on the skirt for a moment, then regained his composure.

She looked at Gu Zhan: "I know that she has been living in the palace recently, and no one else can do it for me. Ask her about her preferences for flowers and plants, or just use the pattern to check the pattern on the sole of her shoes... that's it." You should be able to do it, right?"

Ordinary foreign ministers, even if they are as high and powerful as the Pingguo government...

It is also difficult to reach out to the palace.

But by coincidence——

Gu Zhan has a cheat, her sister is the current empress who ranks first in the six palaces.

"I can take care of things." Gu Zhan rolled up the ball of clothes on the table and threw them at his feet for the time being. Seeing that Qi Huan didn't understand what he meant, he asked her directly: "I want to say that there were so many people present last night. , why do you only doubt her?"

Qi Huan asked him to help, so naturally he wouldn't hide it from him.

She said: "Last month when you went to suppress the bandits and left the capital, I don't know if you heard about it afterwards? That day in Fengming Palace, it was Concubine Wen's younger sister who urged the girl from the Yu family to compete with me for some talent. She made me look ugly in public. I found her at the time, but because of a trivial matter, I couldn’t pursue it publicly. When I came back, I had a whim and asked my mother. My mother didn’t hide it from me and told me directly. What she said was that Mr. Yang, the censor of Youdu, who had just returned to Beijing to take up his duties, was from the same hometown as my maternal ancestor's family, and they had festivals with each other. My mother even reminded me to be careful when I meet people from their family in the future. Be careful, but I know she hasn't told me the whole truth, and she's keeping things from me."

"It's nothing." Gu Zhan knew it in his heart, and raised his hand to touch the top of her hair, "I've been living in the capital lately and have no business, and I even have news from Mrs. Shizi's hometown... I'll send someone to confirm it."

This is of course the best.

In fact, when she asked Yang Shi, but realized that Yang Shi had something to hide, Qi Huan's thought was that she had to find a way to find out the details of "that Yang family".

It's just that firstly, she is a newcomer from a deep house, and she has no confidants around her who can run such errands, and secondly, the successive accidents at home make her overwhelmed, so she can only put this matter on hold for the time being.

Gu Zhan took the initiative to mention it, and she would not pretend to be hypocritical, so she got up and dragged him to the study next door: "I will write you a specific address."

Her study next door is a special study, the size of the room is comparable to that of the bedroom.

The original owner was in poor health all year round and couldn't go out, so Yang found all kinds of books for her, so that she could read them to relieve boredom in her spare time.

But the original owner was depressed all the time at that time, and actually couldn't bear to read books, so this study was more often just a decoration.

Qi Huan has just arrived here and is unfamiliar with the place, so he occasionally comes over to look through a few books such as travel notes and history of the government and the field.

Anyway—

The characters before and after are consistent, basically just a scumbag.

As soon as Gu Zhan entered her study, he couldn't help laughing when he saw the dazzling collection of books piled up on three walls: "If you are asked to move to this room to live, you will be so worried that you won't be able to sleep at night, right?"

From the time he knew her to today, there was no time when he saw her that she was reading.

When other people went out, they thought the road was boring, so they put two books on the carriage to pass the time, but she never saw a book on the carriage, instead, there were occasional account books left behind by Mrs. Yang.

"I don't take the No. [-] Scholar Examination." Qi Huan said boldly and confidently, "And what's wrong with my family's collection of books? Who told my mother to be rich and powerful?"

Fortunately, although she was unreliable, Xing Luo and Yun Xi were reliable. Even though she didn't come into the study once in a few days, the two girls took someone to clean it carefully every day to keep it spotless.

During the day, the bedding they sleep at night is put away, and the whole window is bright and clean.

Qi Huan went to the case alone, and didn't bother to fetch water and ink, so he took some water from the flower container at the corner of the table and dripped it on the inkstone.

"I'll do it." Gu Zhan took the ink stick and rolled up his sleeves to grind the ink for her.

Qi Huan picked up a pen, unfolded a piece of paper, and wrote down what she knew about the birthplace, name, and approximate location of the ancestral house of her grandparents and uncle.

Her handwriting, not to mention how strong it is, or how beautiful it is, but she has received professional training, so she can do it anyway.

Gu Zhan watched her write while meditating, with a smile always on the corner of her lips.

When Qi Huan finished writing and put down his pen, when he raised his head, he obviously misunderstood the intention of his smile, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "I have already said that I won't take the number one examination, why, you still think my handwriting is ugly?"

Gu Zhan put down the ink stick, started tidying up his sleeves, and began to tease: "You know that your handwriting is not good, and you know that I am watching from the side. You are writing happily, and you don't pay attention to hiding your clumsiness at all."

Qi Huan was stunned.

This is……

Do you think she doesn't pay enough attention to it?
It's just writing a few words, so what in front of my sweetheart, she is not a girl who just fell in love at the age of twelve or thirteen, so why should she blush and feel embarrassed?

"Could it be that your family is looking for a teacher?" She walked around the table and stuffed the paper with the ink on it into Gu Zhan's arms.

The ancestral home of the Yang family is Tianshui County in Yunzhou.

There are many prosperous water villages in the south. Although Tianshui County is not as well-known as the state capital, it is also a large southern town with a reputation far and wide.

Gu Zhan roughly scanned the contents of the paper, and immediately became suspicious: "This Tianshui County is a famous water town, far more prosperous than Changting Town, your grandfather's family has been passed down for several generations in the local area, and it has already established a firm foothold. Why did you suddenly move north and go to Changting Town to reshape the foundation?"

Qi Huan shook his head: "I don't know the details. I only know that this decision was made by my grandmother after my grandfather passed away. Later, when I found out about Concubine Wen's family, I wondered... Could it be because of marrying them?" When Liangzi fell, my grandmother had no choice but to leave home and bring my mother and the others to the foot of the emperor."

After a pause, she raised her eyes to look at Gu Zhan again: "But I don't know anything about the situation on the other side..."

Gu Zhan nodded, and before she could finish speaking, he took the initiative to intervene: "Yang Chenglian's resume will be recorded in detail at the Ministry of Officials, and I will go and read it later. However, it will take a long journey to Yunzhou, and it will take time to search for clues." , don’t worry about this matter, it will take some time before I can reply to your letter, and I will give you news as soon as possible at the Palace Concubine Wen’s side.”

As he spoke, he had already folded the paper and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket.

The two walked out of the study.

Qi Huan was ahead of her, poking her head around with treacherous eyebrows, making sure that Xing Luo was still sitting in front of her bedroom door and not chasing after her, then she pretended to send Gu Zhan out, and let herself go behind the door in a pretentious manner.

Gu Zhan didn't doubt that he was there, but when she lifted her foot and was about to go out, she suddenly rushed up and hugged him from behind.

Gu Zhan's footsteps were suddenly held back by her, and he felt helpless.

He chuckled, turned his head and tried to see her face, but Qi Huan was really looking up, waiting for him with a coquettish look.

Gu Zhan's voice was faintly tinged with an unconcealable smile, and he asked softly, "What are you doing again?"

The moment Qi Huan hugged his waist, the touch of his hands suddenly made her have a very hooligan idea——

She thought, a person like Gu Zhan must have eight pack abs, right?
I regretted the great opportunity last night, why didn't I take the opportunity to inspect the goods.

It is true that at this time, she did not dare to stretch her salty pig hands into Gu Zhan's robe to find her abdominal muscles, so she tried her best to abandon her evil thoughts, and asked him perseveringly: "My sister's wedding banquet tomorrow, do you really care?" come?"

Just for this?

No matter how dull Gu Zhan is, he still knows——

This presumptuous and daring girl is taking advantage of him!

If it was someone else like this, he would immediately judge that the girl's behavior is disorderly and her character is worrying.

But for Qi Huan...

Perhaps it was the first time the two of them met, they ruined all the three views in one step, and the bottom line was ruined. Now, Qi Huan is so shameless, and he still doesn't think she has anything to do with it. The problem.

Gu Zhan suppressed his smile, and put on a tough face: "Didn't you say it? If I don't come, your sister's marriage is none of my business."

He even took the initiative to rush to help her with errands, so Qi Huan naturally knew that the quarrel between the two of them had already been turned over.

She was trying to plot something wrong, and felt that everyone was at a young age, and it was normal to fall in love, kiss, hug and hold high, and it was just a whim to tease Gu Zhan.

Tired of being so tired for a while, I also feel that enough should be enough.

mainly--

If Xing Luo caught her for the second time today, she might have to beat her hand with a ruler for education.

So, she also took advantage of the opportunity to push Gu Zhan away: "Do whatever you want!"

Although Gu Zhan came to her with Yang's acquiescence, he has always been measured and never made things difficult for Yang. He usually just stays for about half an hour and has breakfast with Qi Huan before leaving.

Today has been delayed because of something.

He went back to Qi Huan's room, stuffed the mess of dirty clothes into the food box that Yun Xi had arranged, and left with it.

Qi Huan didn't follow her, and leaned against the door of the study to watch her out of the yard, and then turned back to her room with a resentful expression.

In the afternoon, the tailor shop came to deliver Qi Changge's wedding dress in a hurry.

It is the custom for women to marry during the Great Hajj Dynasty. In addition to the male elders and relatives, there are also sisters who are married. The relationship between Qi Huan and Qi Changge is pretty good. She will do her part, so Yang also called people Made new clothes for her and Qi Xin each according to the occasion.

The clothes, together with Qi Changge's wedding dress, were sent directly to Qiuxinju.

Because this was Qi Changge's last day at her mother's house, both Qi Huan and Qi Xin went to her side, tried on the wedding dress with her, and talked by the way.

In the courtyard of the Marquis of Changning, among the girls of their generation, Qi Changge was the first to get married. Even if she deliberately pretended to be noble, Qi Xin felt that it was fresh and didn't take Joe. She said she was here to accompany the bride-to-be, but she was actually even more curious. , Come here to learn from the scriptures and learn from experience.

Therefore, this afternoon, the atmosphere among the three cousins ​​was surprisingly harmonious.

Qi Huan and Qi Huan kept tossing and laughing at her until dark, and they had dinner together again, and then they parted ways.

For the marriage between the Yu family and the Qi family, the wedding was still held at night according to the custom.

Qi Huan woke up naturally in the morning, washed and changed his clothes, put on a little makeup, and went to Qi Changge's.

The family decided to go to her in-law's house to marry Qi Changge to her second uncle Qi Wenang and her elder brother Qi Yuanxu, and then the two sisters Qi Huan and Qi Xin.

The congratulatory guests have been coming one after another since the morning, but Qi Huan's main task today is to accompany the bride and marry his sister, so he stayed in Qiuxinju all the time, just missing the lively cloud Xi walked around in the front yard, helping her to keep an eye on the news.

The wedding banquet at the bride's house starts earlier, so that when the groom comes to pick up the bride, he can catch up with toasting a glass of wine to relatives and friends.

Qi Huan originally thought that Gu Zhan was joking with her yesterday, joking and joking casually, but Yunxi ran around, sending messages over and over again...

The third uncle Qi Wenyan, whom I hadn't seen for a while, came back to prepare for dinner, but Gu Zhan still didn't come to the door.

Qi Huan naturally understood that he did it on purpose, but for a while he couldn't figure out what he was trying to do.

Anyway -

My heart is inexplicably a little unhappy.

Seeing the twilight approaching, the sound of firecrackers sounded, and the welcoming team arrived in front of the gate.

On the Qi family's side, Gao Yunze and Yang Qingyun took the lead in blocking the door, causing a lot of trouble.

But Yu Huaijin, a new Jinshi, was not an embroidered pillow, he threw out three reminder poems, and the group of nobles who followed him to greet the bride even threw out a lot of wedding money, and finally broke through the obstacles and broke in.

The entire mansion was noisy.

Because the two families are well-matched, Qi Changge's marriage is much more grand than when Qi Yuanxu got married.

Qi Huan and Qi Xin, one on the left and the other on the right, accompanied her out from the back house, and Qi Huan noticed that her second uncle Qi Wenang's expression was a little ugly.

Then he followed his line of sight and saw Qi Wenyan standing in a secluded place watching the ceremony, and he understood in his heart——

Qi Yuanxu and Qi Changge got married, no matter how indifferent he was as the third uncle, he deliberately went home to show his face, but last month when he held an entrance banquet for Qi Yuanming...

Qi Wenyan did not return!

This is blatantly treating them differently, slapping their second room in the face.

No matter how uncomfortable Qi Wenang was, on such an occasion today, a character like him would not be too impulsive, so he still had an elder comforting and loving smile on his face, and sent his niece and daughter out of the house.

When Qi Changge bid farewell to his parents, the group went out in crowds.

Yu Huaijin looked proud and walked ahead, thanking the guests who were watching the ceremony along the way.

Qi Huan and Qi Xin still protected Qi Changge from left to right and went out. When they left the door, the bride got into the sedan chair...

Qi Wenang was a civil servant with status, and he went to the man's house to give him a wedding, and he didn't want to show his face in the street, so the family prepared a sedan chair for him.

Qi Yuanxu rides a horse.

Qi Huan and Qi Changge continued to walk back——

Originally, they were two little girls, and today they were not their protagonists. Both of them thought that the family would just stuff them into a sedan chair and make do with it, but when they went to the back of the line, they saw that there were two identical sedan chairs parked there. Pink sedan chair.

The two sisters looked at each other.

The two of them don't deal with each other in the first place, so it's not impossible to squeeze together, but if they don't have to squeeze together...

That couldn't be better.

Qi Huan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Which one do you sit on? You choose first."

After all, Qi Xin is well educated, even if the two of them don't get along, they won't cause trouble at this time, after all, Qi Huan is the older sister and she is the younger sister, so she went straight to the back to push her.

Qi Huan pursed her lips, looked away and was about to get on the sedan chair, but found that the bearers beside her sedan chair were not there.

She was at a loss for a moment, and was about to look around——

But I saw a person stepping out from the other side of the sedan chair.

It's Gu Zhan.

He is wearing a purple robe with cloud patterns today, tied with a leather belt, with a narrow waist and broad shoulders, and a tall and straight figure.

Just now he was supposed to be resting on the side of the sedan chair, but now he was walking out with a carefree expression, adding a bit of lazy elegance to his body which is rarely seen.

Several bearers suddenly appeared from nowhere, ran over quickly, and pushed down the sedan chair.

Gu Zhan didn't speak, he just raised his hand to lift the car curtain for her personally.

At this moment, a group of passers-by stopped by the gate to watch the excitement, Gu Zhan didn't say a word, and he acted low-key enough...

Such a scene under the watchful eyes of everyone also caused Qi Huan's face to suddenly become hot.

Just at this time, a young man who was about the same age as Gu Zhan suddenly jumped over from a distance, put his hand on Gu Zhan's shoulder at night, as if he was very scolding, and said with winking and teasing: "I'll just say it, my cousin You're married, why are you here to join in the fun. Gu Zhan...you're not authentic, you don't want to drink out of drunkenness, so you came here on purpose to show courteousness?"

　Huanhuan is already thinking about Shizi's eight-pack abs, so I am ashamed to say it. . .Mother covers her face!
