Chapter 10 The Marriage
The next day, at dawn, a carriage drove away from the door of Gu's house.

After about a while, the sound of horseshoes came from far and near on the long street, and the two horses quickly stopped at the gate of Gu's residence.

The entourage went to call the door, and the doorman recognized the person at a glance, invited him in hastily, and told the master to go.

Uncle Fu served tea himself, and said respectfully, "Mr. Yun, why is it so early today?"

The man in the side seat looked like he was in his early twenties, and was dressed in a light blue robe. Because of the rush, he still couldn't hide his gentle demeanor.

It was Gu Mingzhu's fiancé, Yun Zhao.

Yun Zhaodao: "Jiangling has an urgent order, I dare not delay, I will leave soon, where is Mingzhu?"

Uncle Fu also just got up, and said: "Miss, I'm afraid I haven't got up yet, I've already asked the boy to call me."

Yun Zhao heard that she hadn't woken up, and thought that he was indeed too early today, so he smiled and said, "Don't wake her up, she should blame me again later."

The housekeeper kept a decent smile and listened quietly, thinking that probably only a young lady in this house could put pressure on Young Master Yun.

There was movement outside the hall soon.

Uncle Fu went out to have a look, and the boy who went to Meiyuan came back and said: "Housekeeper, the servants of Meiyuan said that Miss left before dawn."

"gone?"

The butler was stunned and waved him back, still thinking about how to tell Yun Zhao the news, but the master in the court had already arrived.

As soon as Gu Ruyan stepped into the hall door, Yun Zhao got up and said, "Uncle Gu."

Gu Ruyan smiled warmly: "Zhao'er is here."

Yun Zhao nodded, and sat back after Gu Ruyan took his seat.

Gu Ruyan smiled and said, "I heard that you were on errand in Qingzhou a few days ago. How is the errand?"

Yun Zhao said: "The matter in Qingzhou is over, I am going back to Kyoto this time."

"During this period of time, you have been busy with business, and you haven't come to the house for some days."

Yun Zhao said: "Yun Zhao is wrong, business is urgent, and I haven't been here for almost half a year. I came here to visit Uncle Gu on the way back to Beijing."

Gu Ruyan had inquired about official news in the past six months, and knew that Yun Zhao was really busy on business, and even more knowing why he came today, so he smiled clearly, and said to the housekeeper, "Where's Mingzhu? Haven't you woken up yet?"

The butler hastily stepped forward and replied: "Master, Mr. Yun, Mei Yuan came to sue, but Miss left before dawn."

Yun Zhaowei was surprised: "Where did Mingzhu go?"

Gu Ruyan didn't expect her daughter to leave so fast, and even her family didn't know about it, so she paused and said, "Xiangbei. There's a problem with Xiangbei's business, I'll let her go and see what's going on."

It turned out to be the case.

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "It's okay, there will be more time to meet in the future. Uncle Gu, time is running out, so I have to go now." He stood up while speaking.

Gu Ruyan also got up, surprised: "So urgent?"

Yun Zhao said: "Kingdu is in a hurry, and everyone is waiting for the results of Qingzhou's matter."

Gu Ruyan nodded understandingly: "Since that's the case, Uncle Gu won't keep you. Be careful on the way. I'll go to Jiangling in a few days. It won't be too late if I keep my food."

The two had already left the hall while they were talking, Yun Zhao asked, "Why did Uncle Gu go to the capital? If it's not a big deal, I'll do it for Uncle Gu."

Gu Ruyan smiled and said, "You can't do this."

"Uncle Gu, but it doesn't matter." Dali Temple Minister's announcement has already reached the Ministry of Rites. After returning to Beijing to report on his duties, he is a serious third-ranker. There are only a handful of such young Zhengsanpin in Jiangling. He can also handle the affairs of the Gu family Help me out.

Gu Ruyan laughed loudly and said, "It's for your wedding date with Mingzhu, you can't help me with this matter."

When mentioning their marriage, Yun Zhao smiled unconsciously: "Then I will wait for Uncle Gu in Jiangling."

Gu Ruyan sent Yun Zhao away and returned to the room, and saw his wife sitting by the window dressing up, not knowing what to do, she didn't even notice when Gu Ruyan entered the room, Ning Qing didn't turn back until she took the comb in her hand Come on.

Gu Ruyan said: "What are you thinking about so preoccupied?"

Ning Qing said, "Yun Zhao is gone?"

Gu Ruyan said: "Let's go. He said it was an urgent matter in the capital. He just couldn't read the pearls. The two haven't seen each other for more than six months. Yun Zhao took a detour to see her, but unexpectedly, the girl was still in the dark. Let's go, Mingzhu is now sixteen, I am going to Jiangling, apart from accidents, the most important thing is the date of our marriage."

Ning Qing nodded, remained silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh, and said, "Master, there is one thing that I don't know whether to say or not."

Gu Ruyan combed her hair slowly, and said, "What else can we say between you and me?"

Ning Qing pondered for a moment, and said: "A few days ago, Mingzhu was caught in the wind and cold, and I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep. I boiled her a decoction to replenish qi and blood and sent it to her. I saw her smash a hairpin into pieces."

Gu Ruyan disagreed, and said, "It's just a hairpin. It's normal for a girl to throw things when she loses her temper."

Ning Qing looked at Gu Ruyan from the bronze mirror: "The hairpin that Mingzhu smashed, called the white jade pear hairpin, was a gift from Yun Zhao to Mingzhu last year."

Gu Ruyan remembered that there was indeed such a hairpin, and Mingzhu liked it so much that she wore it almost every day.

Gu Ruyan pondered for a moment, then guessed: "Could it be that the two of you had a quarrel?"

Ning Qing shook her head: "I thought to myself, maybe she was short of breath and didn't see things clearly, and didn't think much about it. But today Yun Zhao will come to the door, and you informed her about this, but she went to Xiangbei before dawn. "

Ning Qing had to think deeply: "In the past when Yunzhao came to the door, when did she not look forward to it with joy? Master, there must be something wrong between my daughter and Yunzhao."

Gu Ruyan felt that his wife was right, so he sat down beside her silently.

Ning Qing said again: "I gave birth to this girl Mingzhu with all my life. She has been loved by you and her brother since she was a child. Even the son of the Wu family obeys her orders. Mingzhu will inevitably be coquettish. If she believes in one thing Even if you hit the south wall, you won’t look back.” Ning Qing paused, and said, “I heard that I took Mr. Wu’s son to beat Qi Feiyan yesterday afternoon. Although no one in Gusu City said anything about it, who was behind the scenes? It doesn't mean that Zhu is hot and hot, but I'm worried, if something goes wrong with the Yun family's marriage, what will happen to her marriage in the future."

Gu Ruyan was deep in thought.

This marriage was decided by the two elders. At the beginning, Old Master Yun went out to play as a businessman, but for some reason, he became like-minded with Old Master Gu who was born as a businessman.

At that time, Ning Qing was pregnant, and the two elders made a marriage proposal after drinking, saying that if the child was a daughter, the two families would become relatives by marriage.

The words became a prophecy, and the Gu family's second child really gave birth to a girl.After the two families got engaged, the Gu family learned that the old master of the Yun family was the old master of Jiangling City. Come to Gusu for a meeting, and cut off the tongue of others.

In the years that followed, Yunzhao grew up all the way. He was a teenager in high school. After only three months in the Imperial Academy to write history books, he was named and dispatched by the emperor. He traveled around all the year round and was promoted one after another. Unlimited.

Regardless of the family background of the Yun family, Yun Zhao's progress to where he is today is almost all due to his hard work.

Gu Ruyan was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Isn't Xiu Rong coming back soon? Let him check Mingzhu's tone and find out what's going on. Although Yun Zhao is a talented person, the Gu family is not the generation to climb dragons and phoenixes. If Mingzhu doesn't want to , this marriage is not worth mentioning."
