Chapter 194

Zhilan tightened her clothes and gritted her teeth secretly, her eyes filled with hatred.

"No! How can a merchant's daughter be worthy of your status as a dignified minister of Dali Temple? Are you confused?"

Mrs. Gu gave him a firm reply.

At this moment, the whole room fell into a deathly silence again. No one dared to say a word. It was so oppressive that it made people breathless.

Mammy laughed hoarsely, and awkwardly stretched out her hand to tug Mrs. Gu's sleeve on the quilt.

She said softly: "Madam, take a step back and the world is brighter. Your Majesty, it is already a big concession for him to agree to marry a wife. If you refuse, I am afraid that it will be impossible for you to get married in this life!"

Zhilan: You are quite a nice person!

Mrs. Gu calmed down, and the abacus was playing loudly in her head.

Mammy is right. For Gu Huaian to make such a decision is already a big concession. Even if this daughter-in-law does not meet the standards in her heart, she can still try to accept it, right?
Something is better than nothing!
As long as Gu Huaian gets married, his younger brothers and sisters will no longer be as stubborn as before.

The popularity of the Gu family has naturally continued, right?
She took a deep breath and then sank slowly.

Finally, the woman gritted her teeth, as if she had made a big decision.

"That's it! If you like it, then follow your own will. But why do you suddenly think of getting married?"

Mrs. Gu was full of doubts. According to Gu Huaian's temperament in the past, no matter how much she persuaded or who tried to persuade her, it was of no use. Today, she was so obedient that she actually proposed to get married? !

Could it be that he was sincere?
Was it Lu Youzhu, the shopkeeper of Qianjin Tower, who tempted him?

Who is it that can make such an iron tree bloom?

He raised his arm and made a bow, "Huai'an thanked mother."

Seeing that he didn't answer her question, Mrs. Gu reluctantly closed her mouth.

She glanced around and accidentally saw Zhilan kneeling on the ground.

Those round and beautiful eyes are so touching...

When Gu Huaian married Lu Zhizhu and had a first taste of it, she would stuff Zhilan into his room, so he wouldn't refuse.

"You are so abrupt today, have you ever asked this girl for her opinion?" Mrs. Gu asked tentatively.

Her son never liked her interfering too much.

"not yet."

Mrs. Gu: "..."

She was absolutely right, he was very abrupt today.

"But it doesn't matter. When the time comes, mother will personally help you ask for the girl's opinion. How about that?"

Gu Huaian didn't object, "That's fine, thank you mother."

When Mrs. Gu heard what he said, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in her heart finally fell.

"and also."

At this time, she regained her energy.

"You said."

Gu Huaian opened his thin lips slightly: "It's about Yinrou's marriage."

When it came to Gu Yinrou's marriage, she felt as weak as if she was discouraged.

"Yinrou, she is as stubborn as you, and she is unwilling to agree to marry the prince of King Yong. Hey, tell me, what is wrong with Meng Zhiyan? Whether it is in Yizhou or in Yujing , his reputation is very bright among the younger generation, and he doesn’t have any messy confidants, and he is born among the best! Why can’t she look down on Yinrou?!"

Gu Huai'an, who listened patiently, only said: "It's not that she doesn't look down on him."

"what?"

Mrs. Gu looked confused.

"She was frightened."

"You mean, that incident with the He family?"

"Ah."

"Huai'an, do you have any good way to persuade your sister? If she doesn't marry, she will really become an old girl."

Gu Huaian is not worried about whether Gu Yinrou will survive and become an old girl. He only cares about the Gu family's foundation now. He is now anxious to find allies for the Gu family.For example, the wealthy imperial businessman Lu Youzhu, or the prince Meng Zhiyan of Prince Yong who held military power.

"She has no fault in this matter. She has to marry even if she doesn't want to."

Mrs. Gu's face froze.

She always thought that she was the one who wanted Gu Yinrou to get married the most, but now it seemed that she was not the one.

Gu Huaian was so anxious to get married and wanted to seek marriage for Gu Yinrou. Could something have happened?

Nothing could happen.

The current Queen Mother belongs to the Gu family, and the current emperor also bleeds from the Gu family. How could something happen?
Must have thought too much.

……

The next day.

Qianjin Building.

Although Lu Youzhu is the owner of Qianjin Building, she still gets up early every day to inspect, especially the other big shops in Yujing, she has to take care of them one by one.

Nowadays, almost half of the property in Ningyang Street belongs to her, Lu Youzhu. With the emperor's support, she can be said to be walking sideways here.

Lu Youzhu walked on the corridor on the second floor, inspecting everything in Qianjin Building, and talking to Cui Xin beside him.

At this moment, unexpectedly, a group of attendants suddenly poured in downstairs.

Wearing short brown clothes from the Gu family, they entered carrying load after load of gifts. They were so surprised that the attendants in the Qianjin Tower rushed forward one by one and stopped them.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing?"

"That's right, this is the Qianjin Building, not a mansion. Did you go to the wrong place?"

"Stop carrying it in! This is a restaurant!"

But there were only a few servants and maids on the first floor of the Qianjin Building, and they couldn't stop the Gu family's attendants who were pouring in. One after another, the gifts were brought in, and they couldn't fit them in the Qianjin Building. Go around the entire Ningyang Street for more than one week.

Lu Youzhu held on to the lacquered wood railing and frowned.

"What's going on here?"

She was still confused at this time and had no idea what was happening.

Watching quietly the people below were arguing and it was a mess.

The leading man was wearing those clothes. He didn't look like someone from a small family, but rather like a butler from a wealthy family.

He took out a vermilion-wrapped embroidered gift list from his sleeve, unfolded it and scanned it.

"Sorry, brothers, we are here today to give betrothal gifts to our adults."

All the servants in Qianjin Tower had puzzled faces.

"Huh? Dowry?"

"What kind of betrothal gift? Did they make a mistake?"

"Didn't you hear something, sir? He looks like a big official!"

The Gu family's housekeeper nodded slightly and smiled, "My lord is the head of the Gu family in Yujing, Gu Huai'an, the minister of Dali Temple."

Lu Youzhu heard it clearly from upstairs.

She couldn't hide her surprise.

How could Gu Huaian do something like this?
Is he crazy?She had no connection with him to begin with...

"Master Gu? Is this the Master Gu I know?"

"Gu Huai'an, the minister of Dali Temple, should be right. He is the Mr. Gu we know."

"Ah this..."

There was another loud sound from downstairs.

"Then, Mr. Gu of your family, who does he want to marry?"
