Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 78: Picking up your loved one

Gu Zhao looked at the seven or eight people in front of him, somewhat dumbfounded. Let people serve tea and apologize to everyone.

Some of them were married to the masters he had decided to marry, and others were rushed to ask for help.

Song Han, who was the first to arrive, crossed his arms and looked at the big-headed Gu Zhao with a smile, feeling happy in his heart. ,

The room full of rich and powerful children were waiting to see how Gu Da would end.

"Gu Da, you are not interesting enough. Do you think our status is not enough, so you didn't choose us?"

This question is really rude, but it is indeed the sentiment of many people present.

"You're the only one who works as a member of the Jinwu Guards, how can you be worthy of getting married!"

Chen Jue didn't care whether the man's father was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry or not, and answered for Gu Zhao with a cold face.

Gu Zhao simply bowed to everyone and saluted: "The wedding is during the filial piety period, so I don't dare to be too public about it. If there is anything wrong with what I did, please forgive me."

The people who came were all people who had friendship with Gu Zhao. With his explanation and Chen Jue looking at them with a cold face, it was natural for everyone to say nothing.

After all, the people Gu Zhao arranged were all the eldest sons of the generals' families, and their status was indeed not high enough.

But in the end, everyone discussed and changed the personnel. Gu Sheng was missing, and he was still slightly younger. Song Han and the other two loudest people were arranged to gather eight wedding masters.

When the others heard the news, they felt much less unhappy.

Gu Zhao asked Chen Jue to take the group of people to a restaurant to entertain them. During the filial piety period, it was not easy to behave like a dog or horse.

Gu Xicheng, who was in the upper room, almost gritted his teeth when he heard this.

I didn't expect this traitor to be so popular. I simply underestimated him.

Chen Jue drank a lot of wine, got on the carriage and ran to Gu Zhao again without going home.

Gu Zhao had already fallen asleep, so he could only get up, put on some clothes, and met him in his inner room.

Chen Jue kept talking for a long time, while Gu Zhao yawned and listened beside him.

"Brother Qianjun, why do you want Yan Qi to be the wedding master? I hate him the most!" Chen Jue frowned and said, "And Gu Sheng, are you really not going to let him go?"

"This is not good. He is your biological brother after all...it would be inappropriate not to let him go."

Gu Zhao held the teacup and thought about everything that had happened during this period, but he only felt chilled.

"It's okay, he will understand."

Gu Zhao still doesn't know how to treat Gu Sheng.

Many people heard my mother's last words.

At first, like everyone else, he thought his mother had made a mistake, but during this time he thought carefully about what his mother said.

With his mother's temperament, he would definitely make arrangements for his two brothers, and would never just make plans for himself and leave Gu Sheng alone.

She only mentioned her daughter and herself...

Maybe the mother also had a daughter, but the mother only gave birth twice. Either she was a dragon and a phoenix when she was pregnant with Gu Sheng, and the daughter was abandoned by her father.

My father wanted my mother to die, so he told my mother about it. He was so angry that my mother was filled with hatred.

Or, the mother gave birth to a younger sister, and the younger brother was brought back by the father from outside, in order to pass the evil son as his legitimate son...

Where did the sister go?
In fact, Gu Zhao has already taken a bias, and now he is just waiting for evidence.

All the people serving around his mother had been dealt with. He really couldn't find anyone to question, so he could only find those servants who had been released from the house in the early years.

Unfortunately, the time is still short and the results are minimal.

His father had consciously purged the old people in the mansion a long time ago.

My mother had never been wary of my father, but she gave him a chance to clear the air. "Brother Qianjun, are you still dealing with what happened before?"

Chen Jue was lying on the big kang with his arms and legs spread out, not even sleeping.

"I will find out everything, don't worry."

Afterwards, someone arranged for Chen Jue to rest in the guest room.

But he didn't feel sleepy anymore.

I washed up and got up, and practiced boxing in the yard for a while, but my mood still hadn't settled down.

He wanted to see her a little bit.

After riding horseback to the other courtyard, she remembered that today she and her mother-in-law were going to Yuqing Temple to offer incense. After thinking about it, she had no choice but to give up and return to her own courtyard.

Chen Jue just woke up with a severe headache.

The maid brought sobering soup, which was arranged by Gu Zhao early in the morning.

When the two of them had breakfast together, Gu Zhao asked slowly: "What's going on between you and Yan Qi?"

Chen Jue looked at Gu Zhao with a guilty conscience. He didn't dare to say that it was because they were playing cards together before and he was suppressed by Yan Qi and lost tens of thousands of taels of silver. Since then, the two have been at odds. Every time after playing cards, Yan Qi would use this incident to ridicule him, but it happened to be true, and Chen Jue really couldn't beat him. As time went by, the contradiction became deeper and deeper.

I muttered at the moment, not knowing what to say.

"If you don't tell me, I will find out."

"It's just a trivial matter, Brother Qianjun, don't check it anymore." Chen Jue said in a panic: "We just played together and lost some money to him, but I showed off to him. Every time I used it to tell him something, I looked at it He’s annoyed.”

"How much we lost."

"Not much, just tens of thousands taels." Chen Jue said nonchalantly.

Gu Zhao knew Chen Jue's character. He was carefree and had many ways to make money. He really didn't care about the money.

It's not like he hasn't lost more before, but it won't make him hate Yan Qi for so long.

"Next time you play cards, call me." Although he was still in his mourning period and playing cards was not polite, but his wedding was a gift from the royal family, so it naturally had to be lively, so there was no harm in playing a few games.

What's more, Gu Zhao didn't do it for money, he just wanted to find out Yan Qi's true identity and see if Chen Jue had been deceived.

"Okay, I'll call you later." Chen Jue didn't think much, he just felt that Gu Zhao was willing to have fun with him and was very happy.

Gu Zhao doesn't like these things, but Chen Jue is the ancestor of eating, drinking and having fun.

"I drank wine yesterday, so don't run around today. Write fifty big characters and squat for half an hour before going back."

Chen Jue said oh, not dissatisfied at all.

The boy reported outside that Gu Sheng was here.

Twelve-year-old Gu Sheng has reached Gu Zhao's chin, but his face still looks childish.

First, he bowed politely to Gu Zhao, and then reluctantly greeted Chen Jue.

Chen Jue and Gu Sheng had no friendship at all, so they nodded slightly and went to write big characters by themselves, feeling more comfortable than at home.

Gu Sheng looked at Gu Zhao, timidly called him brother, and then looked at Gu Zhao with his big eyes open.

Only now did Gu Zhao realize that this behavior was the same as Gu Xicheng's when he was trying to please his mother, and he couldn't help but feel a little nauseous.

"Why did you come to see me?"

"Brother, you are getting married in two days. Can I go and help you get married?"

"You are still too young, and you are still wearing mourning. If you go, others will say that we are neglecting the bride and her family. Just stay at home and study hard."
