Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 359

The coachman made a bow to Du Jinning and said, "Master Du, our young master said that the young master is not in good health, so he won't come to say goodbye and go back first. Let the villain come and tell the young master."

"Okay, I see." Du Jinning nodded and watched the coachman go out. After a while, there was a rumbling sound of carriages in front of Du's house. The carriage seemed to be going fast, and the sound of the carriage gradually faded away. Just disappeared into the distance, she let out a long breath.

Goodbye, Guan Jiayu.In the future, when she grows up, gets married and has children, they will never have the chance to meet each other again.

At this moment in the Guan Mansion, Mother Song was walking up and down the corridor, looking in the direction of the gate, she couldn't help but ask the old god Kong who was sitting in the room and making plans: "Madam, can you really figure it out?"

Kong looked calm on the surface, but she was actually restless, and she made mistakes in several calculations.

Hearing Mama Song's words at this time, she simply pushed the abacus forward, stood up, and walked out the door: "Yes. Although Du Jinning is young, he is a very smart person. He can be frank with the fourth master Otherwise, why would he tell the fourth master this secret? The wishful thinking of letting him separate Sister Yu is better than what we say."

Guan Jiaze took Guan Jiayu to find Du Jinning, how could he hide it from Kong?Kong has nothing to do with her daughter's depression these two days, she can only hope that Du Jinning can enlighten Guan Jiayu.After all, it takes someone to tie the bell to untie it.If Du Jinning told Guan Jiayu that he didn't like her, then Guan Jiayu would give up.So she took a tacit attitude towards Guan Jiaze's behavior.

Of course, this is based on her trust in Du Jinning's character.

"I'm back, I'm back, ma'am, the girl and the young master are back." The maid who was sent by Kong to guard the gate came in to report.

Kong paused, and replied: "Understood." He went back to the room and sat down.

Mother Song looked at her, hesitated for a while, but still didn't hold her breath, and went straight back to Guan Jiayu's yard.

But Guan Jiaze handed over his younger sister to Xifu and Xile, told them to take good care of her, and went to the main courtyard to find his mother.

Seeing his son entering the door, Mrs. Kong stopped pulling out the abacus, and said, "Tell me what happened."

Guan Jiaze had originally come to plead guilty, but now seeing his mother's calm expression and not feeling angry, he knew that his behavior had long fallen into her eyes, and at the same time she acquiesced.

However, he still admitted his mistake first, and then shared Du Jinning's words with Guan Jiayu's reaction.

After hearing this, Mrs. Kong let out a long sigh of relief, and said to Guan Jiaze, "Du Jinning is very good. You are lucky to meet such a friend in your life. Get along well with him and don't be suspicious of him again. Wait until When you are old, you will know that it is not easy to meet such a friend."

"Yes, mother."

Guan Jiaze was also very happy that his friend was recognized by his mother.And he could also see that after hearing what Du Jinning had said, Guan Jiayu seemed to have thought about it too.Apart from feeling a little depressed, she was not as unwilling and sad as before.

Sending her son back to her room, Kong was worried, and was about to visit her daughter when she heard a servant girl report that Guan Jiayu had come.Before she got up, Guan Jiayu walked in, knelt down in front of her, and cried, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter won't let mother worry anymore."

Kong and Mama Song looked at each other, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Yu, you can think clearly, mother is very happy." Kong helped Guan Jiayu up, wiped away her tears, and decided to tell Guan Jiayu what she was going to do, to see if she really figured it out "You also know that your brother's marriage was hastily arranged by your father without discussing it with mother. Mother was worried that your marriage would be the same, so she agreed to your request to marry Du Jinning. Now this road If it doesn't work out, my mother has to help you arrange other marriages. What do you think about this?"

Guan Jiayu was silent for a while, then shook her head: "No, the daughter is completely determined by the mother."

Kong's heart was finally let go.

Now that her daughter has figured it out, this matter should be done sooner rather than later, so Kong decided to give Qi Muyuan a try.

But she didn't dare to go to the Qi family to propose marriage just like that.

You must know that for officials like them, political positions and interests are above all else.Qi Bokun wanted Qi Muyuan to come to worship Guan Lehe as his teacher, and his intention to recruit the Guan family was very obvious.When she went to propose marriage, Qi Bokun would most likely agree to the marriage directly.At the moment when the battle for the heirloom is heating up, Guan Qi is married to become in-laws. Even if they have a hundred mouths, they can't get rid of their relationship with the Qi family. At that time, they must stand in line and be pushed to the forefront. The Guan family will be allowed to back down.

So if she dared to advance to the Qi Mansion today, the Second Master Guan could write her a letter of divorce tomorrow and mention that aunt as his successor by the way.At that time, no one in the Guan family will have any objection to this.Kong's natal family couldn't even say a word to complain about their daughter's injustice.

And without her protection, she couldn't even imagine what would happen to the pair of children.

She decided to test Guan Lehe's tone first.Maybe the situation in the court is different from what she learned?If the situation of seizing the heir apparent is clear and the Guan family decides to move closer to the Qi family, then she proposes to marry their daughter to the son of the Qi family.

This time, she didn't wait for Guan Lehe to come back, but went directly to Lu Shi, and told Lu Shi that she had to be engaged to Guan Jiayu earlier, hoping to get Qi Muyuan, and said: "I know too. We are not with their family in the court. It's just that I think the young master of the Qi family is really good. I want to ask my younger brother to ask the fourth brother to see how the situation in the court is now. Is it possible for the two of them to get married? If not, does Fourth Brother have a suitable candidate?"

When Guan Lehe came back in the evening, Mrs. Lu told him what Mr. Kong had said.

Guan Lehe shook his head without even thinking about it: "Tell her that you don't even need to think about promising Sister Yu to Qi Muyuan. There is no such possibility. Let's choose another one."

After a pause, he said again: "I don't have any suitable candidates here, otherwise I would have mentioned it to her long ago. Let the second sister-in-law look again."

He has been a mountain chief for so many years, not to mention Lishui County, but he knows who are the outstanding men in the nearby counties.If you really want to pick a few family backgrounds and personal qualities that can match Guan Jiayu, it is not impossible.But he didn't want to take it on.

Kong's over-the-top and picky eyes really made him dare not reach out to Guan Jiaze and Guan Jiayu's marriage, otherwise he would end up with two sides.What's more, there is his elder brother in it?His second brother treated Kong Shi badly, but he had nothing to say to his brother.
