Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 160 Every woman has the potential to be a matchmaker
Outside Ningyuan Hou's mansion, there was a scene of desolation.

Today is the day for the funeral of Ningyuan Hou Gu Yan, and the see-off team lined up from the street to the end of the street.

In his life, Gu Yankai has achieved everything that a marquis in a feudal society should do. He fought bloody battles on the frontier for the imperial court, married three times for the prosperity of the family, and planned a way out for his children from birth.

But for him personally, this life was a failure. He loved to die early in his life. Since Da Qin's death, his heart has also died. Perhaps for him, death is a good destination. We can reunite with the Da Qin family.

Qin Hao and Yu Yanran were also in the seeing-off team, looking at the heartbroken little Qin, Qin Hao also had to admire her acting skills, it was so natural.

Gu Tingye, on the other hand, was expressionless, with dull eyes and stubble all over his face. He looked like a walking corpse. Although Gu Yankai had been strict with him since he was a child, which made him rebellious at one time, when Gu Yankai left, he clearly realized that , no one in this world really cares about him anymore.

White paper money was scattered all over the ground, and the funeral procession cried all the way, but it's hard to say how much was really from the heart.

After the funeral, Qin Hao saw that Gu Tingye was not in the right condition, so he said to him: "Now that your father has passed away, do you have any arrangements for Minglan?"

Gu Tingye's originally empty eyes suddenly came to life, and suddenly began to dim again: "Oh, even if there is a destiny but no fate, why bother to force it, and it will not delay others for nothing."

When a loved one passed away, according to the rules of the feudal society, sons had to keep their filial piety for three years. Now that Ming Lan had passed the age of Ji, she would have to wait another three years. In ancient times, unmarried daughters would be laughed at.

Qin Hao pressed Gu Tingye's shoulder with his right hand, and shouted: "If it's a good marriage, what's the point of waiting for three years? In this world, you have no relatives, and your wife is half of your relatives. You want to live like your father." Tired?"

"Thank you, Zihan, for the blow." Gu Tingye's heart was shocked, and then he bowed his hands to Qin Hao solemnly.

Seeing Gu Tingye cheering up again, Qin Hao secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

On the way back, Yu Yanran in the carriage suddenly took the initiative to hold Qin Hao's hand. Qin Hao was slightly taken aback. This kind of situation is rare, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Yu Yanran shook her head, just looked at him with a smile.

Qin Hao hugged her over, kissed her on the forehead, and reprimanded: "You are not allowed to eat those messy things in the future, you know? What if you hurt yourself?"

It is a three-point drug, not to mention, Qin Hao has never expressed much hope for ancient medical technology. The mortality rate of a single cold is as high as 30%. If the so-called secret medicine has no side effects on the body, it is like talking about arsenic Nonsense nonsense.

Yu Yanran buried her head in Qin Hao's arms, rubbed against each other, and closed her eyes to enjoy her husband's tenderness.

Seeing that Yu Yanran was being perfunctory, Qin Hao turned her over and put her on his lap.

"Clap clap clap~~~"

"Do you still dare?"

"Hmm~~~" Yu Yanran's face looked like a well-cooked crab, and she looked at Qin Hao with grievances in her charming eyes, but she saw him staring at her sternly, and her right hand was about to be raised high again. .

"Husband, I know I made a mistake, so I dare not do it again."

Only then did Qin Hao sigh, and put her down. Qin Hao also knew that Yu Yanran was under a lot of pressure. In ancient times, a woman's status largely depended on whether she could spread branches and leaves for the family.

Now that Qin Hao has been conferred the title of Marquis of Jinghai, if there are two males in his family, he will be able to inherit two titles in the future, which is a great thing for the prosperity of the family, but if there is only one male, the title of Marquis of Jinghai will be destroyed. To give up is undoubtedly a reckless waste, and those who are jealous don't know what to say.

Qin Hao gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted him softly: "Actually, you don't need to care what those people say, life is not for them to watch, we just want to live comfortably."

"Yeah." Yu Yanran sniffled and nodded slightly.

On the third day after Gu Yankai's burial, the official decree came down, and the title of Ningyuanhou was inherited by the eldest son Gu Tingyu. This result was reasonable, but it was unexpected by most people.

After all, Gu Tingye's holy family is in full swing, and many people speculate that the official family will allow Gu Tingye to inherit the title.

However, Qin Hao knew that Zhao Zongquan would definitely let Gu Tingyu succeed him, because although the procedure for Zhao Zongquan to obtain the throne was not a problem, he was not the biological son of the late emperor after all, so he should pay more attention to this kind of matter, so as not to give others a slap in the face.

What's more, Gu Tingyu's body can't last for a few years. After his death, Gu Tingye will be able to claim the title in a fair manner, so there's no need to rush for a while.

Of course, this also gave Xiao Qin a wrong signal. If Gu Tingye attacked the noble directly, she would have no chance at all. Gu Tingyu attacked the noble, she still has room to maneuver, but there is not much time left for her up.

That is, on the second day after Gu Tingyu took over the title, Gu Tingye suddenly came to Dongchanghou's Mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Hao teaching Yu Yanran to read the account book, and he couldn't help feeling envious.

"Cousin, brother and sister, you are really envious of others."

Yu Yanran quickly got up from Qin Hao's arms, and said shyly, "Cousin, please sit down, I'll go and prepare some refreshments for you."

Qin Hao cursed and complained with a smile: "Look, it's hard for you to spoil the red sleeves."

"Yes, yes, I shouldn't, but cousin, you can't just care about being happy and happy and leave me alone." Gu Tingye said pretending to be pitiful.

Qin Hao said angrily: "If you have something to say, don't act like a daughter, it makes me sick to my stomach."

"Hehe, my cousin still understands me, so I'll just say it straight. I didn't find out. The old lady of the Sheng family and the old lady of the He family in Baishitan are very close friends. There is a He Hongwen in the He family who is about the same age as Minglan. I think This means that Mrs. Sheng is planning to match them up, so you have to help me figure out a way." Gu Tingye said hastily.

Qin Hao shook his head when he heard it: "With your current status, how can a Baishitan He family compete with you?"

Gu Tingye smiled wryly and said: "No, I'm still in the period of filial piety, and I can't get married for three years. What's more, I was unruly in the early years and my reputation was not very good. The old lady Sheng may not want to see me. If she doesn't nod, this matter can't be done. .”

Yu Yanran came over with tea at this time, and suddenly heard Ming Lan's gossip, and immediately became interested.

Gu Tingye took the opportunity to bow to Yu Yanran: "I have to leave this matter to my younger siblings."

Yu Yanran was dumbfounded when she heard it, and waved her hands again and again: "Here, how can I intervene?"

She didn't expect that Gu Tingye actually wanted her to be a matchmaker. She had only been married for two years, and she still didn't fully understand how she could be ashamed to match other people's marriages.

But Gu Tingye said: "Sister and sister, you are now Mrs. Jinghaihou, and you have a third-rank imperial order. In terms of status and honor, there are very few people in Bianjing who can compare to you, not to mention that you and Minglan are boudoirs. Zhongmi friend, do you want her to marry a He family who is as good as he is?"

This time Qin Hao was granted the title of Marquis of Jinghai, Yu Yanran's imperial order was promoted to another rank, and even the one with Qin Liu's family became the second rank imperial order. In order to make up for the loss of Qin Hao's handing over the military power, Zhao Zongquan took great pains.

Yu Yanran also felt that it made sense when she heard it, how could the Baishitan He family compare with Gu Tingye?As Minglan's close friend, she naturally hoped that Minglan would marry well.

And if Minglan marries Gu Tingye, they will be sisters-in-law, and they can often play together in the future, and they won't feel lonely when they are alone at home.

Thinking of this, Yu Yanran couldn't help feeling a little moved, and subconsciously looked at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao said with a smile: "Since my cousin has spoken, you should go for a run."

"Thank you cousin, brother and sister, I have prepared a gift, and I will send it here, please trouble my brother and sister." After Gu Tingye finished speaking, he ran away in a flash, happy like a child.

Yu Yanran couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I'm relieved now, I didn't expect this Gu Tingye to be so caring about Minglan."

Qin Hao squeezed her chin: "Don't be too happy, the old lady of the Sheng family is not easy to deal with. It's not so easy for you to be a matchmaker."

It seems that every woman has the potential to be a matchmaker after getting married. That afternoon, Yu Yanran brought a gift and went to Sheng's house.

"I've seen Mrs. Jinghaihou." Wang Ruofu saluted Yu Yanran sourly. He had watched her grow up for such a fluffy girl, but after two years of marriage, she became a Marquis.

Moreover, this Marquis was not inherited, but Qin Hao earned it through his hard work. After the imperial decree of the official bestowing the title came down, I don’t know how many rich and noble families in Bianjing City were greedy. Earl!
Although Yu Yanran was secretly happy in her heart, she still hurriedly said to Wang Ruofu on the surface: "Miss Wang is really upset, our two families have always been on good terms, so there is no need to talk about these vain etiquettes of outsiders."

Wang Ruofu was immediately happy when he heard the words. The Marquis said that she was not an outsider, and her impression of Yu Yanran was much better in her heart.

After Yu Yanran took her seat, she said to Fei Cui, her close maid, "Go get someone to bring the gift in."

"Gift?" Wang Ruofu was a little suspicious, what kind of gift would this be given during the New Year?

As a result, Wang Ruofu was dumbfounded when he saw a yard full of gifts.

"Here, Madam Yu, did you send it by mistake?"

The two families were not relatives, and the family status of the Sheng family was far inferior to that of the Marquis of Dongchang, and it was even more impossible to ask the Sheng family for anything other than such a generous gift.

Yu Yanran said to Wang Ruofu with a full smile: "It's not wrong, it's for the Sheng family, Mrs. Wang, do you think it's okay?"

Wang Ruofu's saliva was about to flow down, exquisite boxes were opened one after another, pearls, agates, jades, goldware, and fiery red corals were two feet high, making people dizzy.

There are wild ginseng, blood swallow bird's nest, all kinds of precious animal skins, and the feel of a piece of white fox fur makes Wang Ruofu couldn't put it down. After a while, last year she saw an earl's lady wearing a fox fur waistcoat, which made her drool almost.

"Cough cough." Seeing this, Mother Liu quickly cleared her throat and reminded her.

Only then did Wang Ruofu regain his senses, and withdrew his hand resentfully: "Here, you won't be rewarded for nothing, so I dare not accept such an expensive gift from Mrs. Yu."

Yu Yanran smiled and said, "I didn't send this to Mrs. Wang, but I did it for me."

"Do it for you?" Wang Ruofu was even more dizzy when he heard that.

Seeing this, Yu Yanran told her about Gu Tingye asking her to be a matchmaker.

Wang Ruofu's expression turned a little off, Gu Tingye actually wants to marry Minglan?

"Could Madam Yu hear it wrong? With Gu Tingye's identity, how could she marry a girl like Minglan?" Wang Ruofu risked saying the word concubine, and after thinking about it, Minglan has already been recorded in her name. down.

Yu Yanran shook her head sternly: "How can you hear such a big thing wrong, I've confirmed it again and again, it's indeed Minglan."

Wang Ruofu felt sour, why Minglan and not her Rulan?What a good marriage, what a precious gift, but it was given to Minglan, Wang Ruofu suddenly felt that the white fox fur was not so smooth.

"Here, I remember that the old Marquis passed away, and Gu Tingye has to keep his filial piety for three years, right? I'm afraid he will be criticized when discussing relatives at this time."

Yu Yanran said in a low voice: "This is the reason why my cousin asked me to send the gift. Let's keep quiet and settle the matter first, and we will talk about marriage after three years."

Wang Ruofu became even more sour when he heard it, that is to say, this is not a betrothal gift, but Gu Tingye gave such a generous gift just to make Minglan wait for three years, so wouldn't the betrothal gift be of higher standard?

Seeing such overwhelming wealth and honor without his own daughter, Wang Ruofu wished he could bang his head against the wall right now.

"I can't decide this matter, the old lady has to nod." Wang Ruofu evaded.

Yu Yanran didn't have any doubts: "Well, the old lady has always loved Minglan, so naturally she wants the old lady to nod."

The gift was delivered, and the conversation was over, so Yu Yanran went to Mucangzhai to play with Minglan.

As a result, after arriving at Mu Cangzhai, I found that all the servants here are very weird. There are maids who are reciting poems with poetry books in their hands, and some maids are acting sneaky. When they see outsiders coming, no one greets them, and they run back instead. Room.

In the end it was Xiaotao who found her and welcomed her into Minglan's boudoir.

Yu Yanran complained: "What's the matter with the maids in your yard? The one who does the work can't see, and the fallen leaves and dust on the ground are not cleaned. Are they here to be maids or young ladies?"

Minglan poured a bowl of tea for Yu Yanran unhurriedly, and sighed: "Then what can I do, these maids are stuffed in by the eldest lady and Lin Xiaoniang, and I'm not easy to punish, so that's all I can do .”

"You, it's because of your patience that you cultivated them to be lawless. If you want me to tell you, just drag them out and give them a beating, and they will be honest after a beating." Yu Yanran said angrily.

Minglan covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, and teased, "Sister Yanran is indeed acting like a marquis's wife now."

"Who am I for? It's not worth it for you. This maid is not like a maid, and the young lady is not like a young lady. If it spreads, won't it make people laugh at the Sheng family's family tradition?" Yu Yanran saw someone sneaking around outside. , it seems to be the person next to Mrs. Wang, so the second half of the sentence is directly shouted out.

Ming Lan naturally saw it too, but she didn't change her expression, but asked Yu Yanran: "Why is Sister Yanran so free to come to my place today?"

Yu Yanran explained the situation again, and Minglan was also dumbfounded, and stayed for a while before confirming.

"Sister Yanran, Gu Tingye really said that he wants to marry me?"

Yu Yanran nodded solemnly: "Of course it is true. How could I be wrong about such a big event? He said it himself today, and he also prepared a generous gift for me to send over to show his sincerity."

"Minglan, although Gu Tingye said that he was absurd for a while when he was young, he learned it later. He also studied in your home, and you have seen it. He is not as domineering and rude as the outside world. Gu Tingye is both a cousin and a close friend. My Marquis knows his character best. What's more, Gu Tingye is highly regarded by the new monarch. In the future, he will have the title of Ningyuan Houfu waiting for him. He is indeed a rare and good gentleman. "Yu Yanran tried her best to persuade.

It wasn't that Gu Tingye did her any favors, but she was really thinking about Minglan. Seeing that Gu Tingye came to ask her for help for Minglan, and prepared such a generous gift, she knew what he meant.

"Minglan, it's not easy for a woman to meet a good man in her life. Let me say it. If she hadn't met Lord Hou, I'm afraid life would be so sad." Yu Yanran pulled Minglan up. hand, said softly.

Minglan was moved: "Sister Yanran, thank you, I know you are doing it for my own good."

At the same time, a servant knelt down in front of Wang Ruofu and told what she had heard in Mu Cangzhai.

Wang Ruofu was furious when he heard this: "This Minglan is so weak-tempered that she can't even handle a group of female servants."

Liu's mother reminded her from the side: "Miss, this matter can be big or small. If it spreads that our maids in Sheng's mansion are not like maids, and young ladies are not like young ladies, it will be difficult for Fifth Miss to find a good marriage."

Wang Ruofu was startled: "That's right, fortunately this is Mrs. Yu, for the sake of Minglan's reputation, she won't say anything, if someone bumps into her, it will be bad, these bastards, wait for Yu After the lady left, I sent them all away!"

"promise."

Yu Yanran stayed with Ming Lan for a while, then left.

Mrs. Wang led people to send off all the maids who had been idle all day long, and she also gave Ming Lan a scolding, mainly because she was jealous of her getting such a good marriage with Gu Tingye.

When Sheng Hong came back, he heard Wang Ruofu say that Gu Tingye was going to marry Minglan, he burst out, almost fell off the chair, splashed his hand with tea.

"You didn't hear it wrong, did you?"

Wang Ruofu said sourly: "How could I hear such a big event wrong? And those piles of gifts, it can't be an illusion, right?"

Sheng Hong was amused: "Gu Tingye is quite discerning, Minglan has always been a good girl, and she will definitely be a good lady in the future."

Wang Ruofu secretly rolled his eyes: What kind of vision is there? According to her, Gu Tingye must be blind. She is not afraid of being laughed at if she marry a prostitute like her daughter.

There was another scene in Linxi Pavilion. Hearing that Minglan was about to become the future lady of the Marquis Mansion, she became sour into two lemon essences in an instant.

Mo Lan gritted her teeth and stomped her feet: "Mother, Ming Lan is also a concubine, she can marry the marquis's son, I can't marry her worse than her!"
