Chapter 155 Selfishness
Gu Minghe recalled the charming appearance of the Fifth Prince when she was listening to Taolou, and she felt joyful and shy at the same time in her heart. Fortunately, she still remembered that Mrs. Cui was sitting beside her now, waiting for her to reply, Therefore, Gu Minghe tried hard to make his eyes red, lowered his head, and said the matter in a low voice,
Of course, Gu Minghe would not tell Cui how heroic, charming, and gentle the fifth prince was, and how heartbroken she was at that time, she just briefly said the matter once, and then her eyes were red Asked: "Grandma, what should my granddaughter do?"

At this moment, in order to inquire about Gu Minghe, Mrs. Cui has already cleared everyone out, leaving only Nanny Cui to wait on the side. Neither of them expected that this would happen when they were listening to Taolou matter!
It was only at this moment that Cui suddenly realized, no wonder the granddaughter had been by her side all the time, so peaceful, she had already caught the biggest fish - it seemed a little disrespectful to say that the fifth prince, but, this metaphor, in Cui From Shi's point of view, it is extremely appropriate.

Just because the fifth prince has already been caught, and thinking about the current situation in court, one can know that the fifth prince is indeed the biggest fish.

Moreover, the fifth prince has just turned [-] this year, and it is the time when he is in the prime of his life, and it is also the time when a man is very charming... Thinking about how the fifth prince is not bad in the first place, and his status is so noble... …

Cui glanced at Gu Minghe's blushing face, and couldn't help curling her lips slightly. Why bother to speak so insincerely?Anyone can see that she is tempted.

Cui narrowed her eyes slightly. It seems that her granddaughter is hiding something. The fifth prince must have said something to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't behave like this?

But Mrs. Cui didn't intend to ask anything. It is not a glorious thing for a woman to do such a thing. Regardless of who this man is, it is definitely not a good thing anyway. Even if this man is the emperor, then the same.

What's more, the fifth prince is not yet the emperor.

So this matter, no matter what the fifth prince said to her, this matter cannot reach other people's ears. Therefore, Cui Shi looked at Gu Minghe and warned Gu Minghe in a tone that seemed gentle but was actually stern.

Gu Minghe felt aggrieved and resentful at first, thinking that if he really became a nobleman in the future, he would see if his grandmother would treat him like this, but listening to it, Gu Minghe's heart, which was already floating in the air, slowly fell. In the ice cellar.

That's right, the fifth prince didn't promise himself anything. If others found out, the fifth prince didn't have other plans, or the fifth prince was actually so gentle to everyone, not just to himself, but he would be wrong I had high expectations, but in the end, I failed...

Gu Minghe became really panicked. Although the fifth prince said that he would not spread the word, judging by the way Concubine Pei De gave him an extra gift in the end, it was obvious that he already knew about it, although it could be understood that Concubine Pei De intended to accept him , but it can also be understood that Concubine Pei Defei sealed her mouth with extra things!

Gu Minghe was a little lost - she had been thinking about it all day long, thinking about what kind of attitude she should take to face Gu Mingxuan if she became the concubine of the Fifth Prince - it would be better to look down at her from above and signal to her grandmother Suppressing Gu Mingxuan in various ways, and finally, marrying Gu Mingxuan to a rotten person who looks good?
Only in this way can the resentment in her heart be vented.

However, Gu Minghe didn't realize it was impossible at the time - he didn't just want to be a side concubine, if he wanted to be a concubine, he would definitely need the support of his family, his father loved Gu Mingxuan so much, if he targeted Gu Mingxuan, wouldn't his father unhappy?
Gu Minghe was even thinking that he seemed to have to be more magnanimous. Anyway, as long as he could become a concubine and gain a firm foothold, he would definitely have the opportunity to punish Gu Mingxuan in the future when he didn't have to rely entirely on the support of his family.

She thought very well, but she never thought about it, what would happen if the fifth prince had such a good attitude towards everyone?
Gu Minghe was a little lost, but he still pulled himself together, respectfully responded to Cui Shi's words, and then returned to his room.

It was already late at night, but Gu Minghe was tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

When he woke up the next day, Gu Minghe was a little haggard. When he said hello, Gu Mingxuan saw it, and it was a little strange—what happened to Gu Minghe?
It is said that my grandmother called Gu Minghe over for questioning late last night, but I didn't find out about this matter. After all, only Gu Minghe, grandmother Cui and Nanny Cui were there at the time, and it was not easy for her to go to these three people. Investigate.

Gu Mingxuan was a little curious.

However, Cui didn't mention it, and didn't even say anything to Gu Minghe, and let them break up first.

Not long after, Mrs. Cui received a message from the wife of Zhang Zhi, Zuo Tongzheng, the general secretary, saying that if Mrs. Cui was free tomorrow, she would come to visit.

Cui knew what it meant.

Therefore, after saying hello at night, Cui asked everyone to go back and let Gu Yuwen stay.

Gu Yuwen's heart was pounding like a deer - she had already heard about it, and Mrs. Zhang posted a post today.

Who is Mrs. Zhang?
She is Qi Feiming's immediate boss, the wife of Zuo Tongzheng, the chief envoy of the administration, and she is also the big matchmaker that Qi Feiming hired!
That day, she gave Qi Feiming a pouch and Supa. Qi Feiming couldn't come to the door, so he didn't give her anything. But on the third day, Mrs. Zhang came to Shun'anhou Mansion to propose marriage on behalf of Qi Feiming.

Although the two parties already have a tacit understanding, when they get married, the woman always wants to take Joe, and basically won't agree to it the first time, and will only agree after the man asks the matchmaker to come to the door repeatedly.

Qi Feiming's rank is not high, and his reputation is relatively bad now, so he couldn't invite a high-ranking lady to come to his door, so he could only beg his boss and invite his boss's wife to come to his door.

Although the Zuo Tongzheng of the Tongzheng Envoy is very powerful, in fact, he is only an official of the fourth rank, and her wife is also an official of the fourth rank. The door to enter the Marquis of Shun'an is still a bit low. Although the daughters of the family are only concubines, they are knowledgeable and not intimidated. Besides, Zhang Zhi is very important, and Mrs. Zhang is always flattered outside, but she has developed a magnanimity. I feel very satisfied.

This at least shows that Qi Feiming still respects the Marquis of Shun'an very much.

In fact, Mrs. Cui did not want to lower her status and seniority to see Mrs. Zhang. Under normal circumstances, Mrs. Zhang should come to pay her respects to Mrs. Cui first after she passed the house, and then go to talk about Gu Yuwen's marriage with Mrs. He——

But under He's current state, it's not easy to push the matter to Sun, so Cui had to do it himself.

At the same time, the Cui family has already sent someone to inform Gu Yuwen's biological parents. After all, Gu Yuwen is still her daughter. In any case, this important marriage must be known to Gu Yuwen's biological parents.

Today, Mrs. Cui wanted to ask Gu Yuwen for her opinion, whether she wanted a Zhuangzi or a shop—the Zhuangzi was stable, and the shop might be more profitable, and if it was rented out, there would not be so many troubles.

Originally, Gu Yuwen could get it from Zhuangzi's shop, and she could also get a dowry comparable to that of the prostitute of Shun'an Houfu. Unfortunately, Cui's plan is not to do that now.

This is Cui's punishment for Gu Yuwen. Qi Feiming is poor, and Gu Yuwen will not be worth much by then, so let them live their poor lives.

When Gu Yuwen was asked about this matter, she was a little confused - because of her status, she was particularly concerned about gains and losses, so she had already inquired about the affairs of the mansion very clearly.

So she knew very well that when the daughter of the Marquis of Shun'an got married, she usually accompanied her with two Zhuangzi, two shops, and some other things, the total value of which was about 6000 taels. How did she get here...

A Zhuangzi or a shop, the better ones, the bigger ones, are estimated to be less than 1000 taels.

Gu Yuwen felt uncomfortable in her heart. It was clear that the Princess of the Princess said that she would marry her according to the rules of a prostitute, so she has always been looking forward to her life after marriage-but Cui said so, it is impossible for her to marry her. When Cui talked about the conditions, Gu Yuwen was extremely disappointed, but she had no choice but to say implicitly: "The shop can always be rented out. For Zhuangzi, if he doesn't know farming, it is really troublesome."

Cui understood that what Gu Yuwen meant was that she planned to buy a shop, so after she nodded, she waved Gu Yuwen out.

Cui could see Gu Yuwen's expression, but she snorted coldly in her heart - 6000 taels is not a small amount, but Shun'an Hou Mansion is indeed affordable, but after Gu Yuwen did such a thing, Do you still want others to treat her as before?
Did she forget that Qi Feiming was originally talking about the big girl?
The owner of the Hou Mansion is the real father of the big girl, you are not good to her own daughter, do you expect her to be grateful to you?

Shaking her head, Cui felt a little headache.

As for Gu Yuwen, after returning to the house, she smiled bleakly and said to Chen Xiang and Ban Xia: "This Marquis Mansion treats us so poorly."

Chen Xiang and Banxia didn't know what happened. After all, it was impossible for Cui Shi to let the maid listen to everything, so they hurriedly asked Gu Yuwen and comforted Gu Yuwen. Say it again.

When Chen Xiang and Ban Xia heard the words, they were immediately filled with righteous indignation, and angrily reprimanded the Marquis of Shun'an for being unkind, untrustworthy, and so on.

They didn't think there was anything wrong with Gu Yuwen fighting for a good marriage for herself while robbing others of her marriage.

With a bleak smile, Gu Yuwen said to Chen Xiang and Ban Xia after a long time, "Fortunately, you are by my side, otherwise I don't know how to live."

Chen Xiang and Ban Xia began to comfort Gu Yuwen, and when Gu Yuwen finally showed a smile, Chen Xiang said: "Miss, don't worry, Master Qi has a deep affection for Miss, and Miss will have a good life in the future, why worry about other things."

Ban Xia also said: "Yes, Miss, think about it, Mr. Qi is young and heroic..."

Ban Xia praised Qi Feiming for a good meal, originally intended to relieve Gu Yuwen, but it fell into Gu Yuwen's ears, but it was not the case-Chen Xiang always said that Qi Feiming was kind to her and thought of herself wholeheartedly, but Ban Xia always He was thinking about Qi Feiming's kindness, not Qi Feiming's kindness to himself.

In this way, the mind is exposed really clearly.

A sinister look flashed in Gu Yuwen's eyes, Qi Feiming was hers, and she would never allow anyone to rob her.

Seeing that Gu Yuwen was still looking gloomy, Chen Xiang thought she was still thinking about the grievances she suffered today, so she explained in a low voice, hoping that Gu Yuwen would stop being sad.

Finally, Chen Xiang said: "Since Mrs. Zhang posted a message to the old lady today, she will definitely come to the door tomorrow. Maybe the lady's marriage will be settled tomorrow. At that time, the lady will have a lifetime to rely on, so there is no need to go too far." Look at other people's faces, for the time being, Miss, bear with it."

Gu Yuwen nodded, thinking that Mrs. Zhang will come tomorrow, she finally feels better. Tomorrow, grandma should agree.

When they greeted each other the next morning, Gu Minghe and Gu Yuwen looked a little absent-minded—they were all worried about their own life-long events, so they still had other thoughts.

Mrs. Zhang arrived in the morning, and after a few words of compliments to Mrs. Cui with a smile, she got to the point—but it was about the marriage between Qi Feiming and Gu Yuwen. I took so much trouble for Gu Yuwen, that's why I agreed so happily.

Mrs. Zhang was a little surprised. She thought that Cui would refuse once, and then let her come to the door three times. She didn't expect Cui to be so happy.

In this way, Mrs. Zhang was very happy. After coming out of Shun'anhou Mansion, she went to the Qi family—the old lady of the Qi family was a very kind old lady. She received Mrs. Zhang warmly and at a loss, and kept saying: "Let you worry, let you worry."

Her attitude was sincere, but when she asked her about the dowry gift and the regulations, she didn't know what to do. Mrs. Zhang felt a little headache, so she went home so her husband could talk about it. Zhang Zhi waved his hand nonchalantly and said, " That old lady just came to Beijing, so she definitely doesn't understand anything, don't worry, I'll ask Qi Feiming tomorrow to see what he means."

Qi Feiming knew about Mrs. Zhang's visit that night, so he first went to thank Zhang Zhi the next day. Zhang Zhi waved his hand indifferently. In fact, he didn't want to accept this matter. However, Qi Feiming was finally his As a subordinate, he begged for a girl raised by the Marquis of Shun'an. Although she was not a descendant of the Marquis of Shun'an, she belonged to the Marquis's mansion anyway, so Zhang Zhi reluctantly agreed.

After Qi Feiming thanked Zhang Zhi, he said to Zhang Zhi: "Xiaguan's mother just came to Beijing, and she is not familiar with the affairs in Beijing, Madam Lao really bothered her."

Then, Qi Feiming told Zhang Zhi about his net worth - although he had saved some money before, the little money was really not much, and he even bought a small house, and entertained others after he came to Beijing , if he hadn't found a little way to get some money, he might have lost all his money.

Even so, there are only about 200 taels left in his whole body at the moment!
Zhang Zhi smiled, this kid has 200 taels left, which is really good, he thought that this kind of newly promoted is poor.

However, for Hou Men's family status, even if the young lady is similar to an adopted daughter, the dowry gift is a little less.

But fortunately, at this time, he is only hired. If he feels thin later, he can still make up.

After Zhang Zhi pondered for a while, he said: "So, it seems a little rare, but what Gu Houye values ​​is your character, and he doesn't care about the amount of the dowry. Besides, you don't get married right away. Ability can still be increased, but it is not a problem, how do you plan to buy the dowry gift, have you thought about it?"

Qi Feiming cupped his hands and saluted, and said: "I'm ashamed, I don't have any clue about these matters, so I still have to trouble Madam to worry about it..."

Zhang Zhi nodded, and told Mrs. Zhang about this when he went back. Mrs. Zhang also had the same thought as Zhang Zhi when she heard the words. Some money.

Mrs. Zhang went to the Marquis of Shun'an again. After meeting Mrs. Cui, she exchanged some pleasantries and explained Qi Feiming's situation. In short, it meant that Qi Feiming was full of sincerity, but the Qi family was indeed in difficulties. This is already the most dowry gift that can be offered... and so on.

When Cui heard the words, she nodded and said: "Our family does not lack that little money, what we value is his talent, besides, among young people, that child is already very outstanding. For things, it is impossible for one person to take all the good things, take your time, as long as people make progress, everything will be fine."

"The old lady is right." Mrs. Zhang is different from Zhang Zhi. When Zhang Zhi smiles kindly, others think he is very fierce, but Mrs. Zhang smiles kindly. Enlightened and happy in heart, they laughed even more joyfully.

Mrs. Zhang said a lot of good things about Qi Feiming, and praised Shun'an Hou Mansion and Gu Yuwen. Finally, the matter was finalized.

Mrs. Zhang sent a message from both ends, and Mrs. Qi said what Cui said. She heard Mrs. Qi call "Amitabha" and "good man", and thanked Mrs. Zhang a thousand times. Mrs. Zhang found out that the two families They are all reasonable, so although the running is very hard, I am in a good mood.

Mrs. Qi passed Cui Shi's words to Qi Feiming at night, and Qi Feiming's heart was also stirred up, and he was very happy.

Here for Gu Yuwen's marriage, Mrs. Zhang ran on both sides, Cui Shi, Sun Shi and Aunt Cui also got together to discuss the regulations, but there, Gu Minghe's heart was getting colder and colder——

It turns out that the Fifth Prince was really just talking.

Her heart was full of bitterness, but what about bitterness, if she couldn't let others see her bitterness, it would be even more uncomfortable, and Gu Minghe fell ill.

And in the palace, Concubine Pei De was also very anxious - she wanted to get the emperor to give her a marriage, but the emperor was noncommittal, and it seemed that he didn't intend to agree to her, which made Concubine Pei De anxious and angry. It took two days for Concubine Pei De to know , It turned out to be the ghost of Concubine Qin.

Qin Guifei said that the thirteenth princess has not given birth to an heir to the thirteenth prince, and she is anxious, and wants to give the thirteenth prince a side concubine, but the thirteenth prince feels that he is still young and is not in a hurry, but the thirteenth prince The princess insisted that she must do this to feel at ease.

Everyone couldn't resist her, so Concubine Qin finally thought of a compromise, that is to find a younger one to carry into the mansion first, and wait until two years later, if the thirteenth princess still has no children, it just so happens that the younger one can also give birth. Yes, it can be regarded as two or three years more time for the thirteenth princess.

Then Concubine Qin said that although she did not go to Shanglin Garden on the Shangsi Festival this time, everyone said that the third lady of the Gu family in the Marquis of Shun'an was very outstanding, so she wanted to hire a side concubine for the Thirteenth Prince.

The emperor hesitated because of this, one or two, both wanted the same girl to be a side concubine, what did it mean?
Disagree, disagree with all!
Concubine Pei De understands the emperor's temperament, no, even if she is not the emperor, but she is herself - if she has two sons, they happen to fall in love with the same person, and fight to marry her, and finally because of this, there is a rift between the brothers. He would definitely hate that woman to the extreme.

In this way, it is no wonder that the emperor would agree.

In Concubine Pei De's heart, she hated Concubine Qin Guifei to the point of death - you said that your son, who spends his days in romance, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, doesn't have the slightest ability to be an emperor, why do you still dream of your son being an emperor?
Could it be that after he ascended the throne, he had to discuss with ministers every day how to make music, chess, calligraphy and painting better?
Isn't this going to ruin Dayong's country?
But now, Concubine Pei De is a bit out of control.

After thinking hard for a long time, it was the fifth concubine who came up with an idea for Concubine Pei De. She said: "A few days ago in Shanglinyuan, when Miss Gu San was changing her clothes, she was probably frightened and accidentally left a handkerchief in the room. In the middle, it was picked up by the maid who served beside the fifth prince, and the daughter-in-law originally thought to return it to her in the future, so now..."

Concubine Pei De listened to the fifth prince's concubine's words, and after taking a slow look at the fifth prince's concubine, she snorted and said, "You have a heart, that's all, it's justifiable for you to do this, just do as you said. "

What was accidentally dropped, probably she picked it up by herself, and wanted to calculate Gu Minghe, or wanted to control Gu Minghe. However, it is normal for a woman to control a concubine's room, and it happens that this will also come in handy. In this way, Concubine Pei De didn't bother to care about the petty thoughts of the Fifth Prince Concubine.

After the fifth prince agreed, she saluted and withdrew. In the evening, she talked with the fifth prince about what happened when she met Concubine Pei De today, and also told the fifth prince the idea she offered.

Then, the fifth prince concubine handed the handkerchief to the fifth prince, and said: "The concubine is a little selfish, and I want to take care of Miss Gu, so that after she enters the door, because of the importance of the mother concubine and His Royal Highness, she doesn't care about the concubine. In my eyes, but now it is naturally important for His Highness..."

The fifth prince glanced at the fifth prince and concubine.
