Pastoral hilarious idiots love to the bone

Chapter 218, It's not easy to be a matchmaker
"what……"

Gu Qi was taken aback.

But thinking about it, in this family now, my sister-in-law is alone, it is really hard and tiring.

"Sister-in-law, I hope her family background is a little bit better. When I go out, I won't be bullied or seen clearly because of my low official position. I also hope that she really likes to laugh. Our family is too dull like this!"

Long Xingchen understands.

Slightly nodded, "Don't worry, I won't harm you, and I won't harm this family either!"

Gu Qi stood up and saluted Long Xingchen, "Thank you, sister-in-law, you have worked hard these days!"

"Hey, go get ready, let's go tomorrow, go in the morning and come back in the afternoon!"

"..." Although Gu Qi felt quick, she still responded, "Sister Lao, don't worry!"

"Should be!"

Long Xingchen agreed with Gu Qi and waited for Gu Cheng to come back.

It's just that Long Xingchen was surprised that he didn't see Gu Cheng until dark.

"Chen Xiang, go out and have a look, what's going on?"

"Yes!"

Prince's Mansion

The crown prince asked Gu Cheng to read the secret letter, which was sent back by Feige as fast as possible, and contained a lot of information.

"Your Highness..." Gu Cheng was puzzled.

"You may not know what witchcraft can do, so let's put it this way, your sister didn't remember anything after she woke up from a coma, and there was witchcraft in it, which erased her memory bit by bit. Will and perseverance, this is light and heavy, such as taking human blood and refining pills for various purposes!"

"Is it effective?" Gu Cheng asked.

"Yes, that's why my father strictly prohibited this kind of witchcraft. Unexpectedly..." the prince said, taking a deep breath, "Unexpectedly, he is really insane!"

"..."

Gu Cheng naturally understood who the prince was talking about.

A youngest daughter who poisoned her original wife to marry the eldest princess in order to be able to help her, it can be seen that her heart is vicious.

"Princess Dachang..." Gu Cheng whispered.

"Eldest aunt sometimes misses her, but it's a pity for my beautiful cousin!" The prince said with a sneer.

The eldest aunt does have someone in her hands, and marrying her cousin can indeed add some help, but Dudu has forgotten it, and it is justified.

Unless he dies.

"Your Highness, I have an idea!"

"Say!"

Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Send a bedside person to the emperor!"

"..."

The prince looked at Gu Cheng, and smiled after a while, "That's a good idea!"

"I have already found a candidate here, and I hope His Highness will help me a little bit!"

The prince laughed.

Nodding and nodding, "I didn't expect that Master Xiang would also take a detour!"

"..."

Gu Chengmo.

If it wasn't for the emperor not punishing the second prince, why should he do so.

The crown prince stretched out his hand and patted Gu Cheng's shoulder, "Royal father, he also has his considerations!"

"Ah!"

Gu Cheng sneered.

Emperor Jiankang was indeed a wise ruler in some areas, but he was a foolish ruler when it came to housework, and he was a failed father when it came to educating his children.

He didn't educate the second prince well, or he didn't want to educate the second prince well at all.

"Your Highness, it's getting late, and I'm going back first!"

"Go, don't make Xingchen worry!" Gu Cheng nodded, left the Prince's Mansion, and got into the carriage to go home.

Home……

Thinking of this broken home, thinking of the fourth uncle's family, he was in a daze.

Fortunately, it is a good thing to know the whereabouts of the third brother and aunt.

Now it's only the fourth uncle and Amu who are missing.

If they come back safely, this family is truly complete.

that fake...

It should have been cleaned up sooner.

Gu Cheng thought about sending someone into the palace to accompany him, so the second prince naturally thought about it too.

He has already had a candidate, Gu Honest's daughter, although her background is a bit shady, but he has wiped it clean, and now she has pampered her for a few days, and she has become more and more charming. If she can really enter the palace, it is inevitable that she will be favored .

The contest between the two parties has gradually moved from the dark to the bright.

Emperor Jiankang was getting older and older, and the two princes were at that time.

That supreme position is too tempting.

When Gu Cheng returned to the mansion, Long Xingchen had been waiting for him for a long time, and only when he saw him come back did he put his heart into his stomach.

"Where did you go, and you didn't send someone to send a message back, the harmed Xi'er has been refusing to sleep, insisting on waiting for you to come back to accompany him, mother also asked the servant girl to come over and ask!" Long Xingchen complained.

Gu Cheng was taken aback, hugging Long Xingchen and said, "Is it me this time? It's just that something happened suddenly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly invited me over. I didn't have time to send someone back. There are a lot of princesses. How do you spare the city this time?"

"Hmph!" Long Xingchen snorted coldly, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, Brother Huang hastily invited you over?"

Gu Cheng approached Long Xingchen and whispered something in Long Xingchen's ear.

Startled, Long Xingchen jumped up, "How dare he, do you have evidence?"

"not yet!"

"Hmph, just like his mother and concubine, if you can't get on the stage, you know how to play tricks. Be careful, don't follow his way, and take more people with you when you go out. Safety is the most important thing!" Long Xingchen said again. Said, "You don't have to worry about things at home. Father, Uncle Fifth, and Grandpa have been fascinated by the recent drama, and they don't go anywhere to listen to the drama. Mother and Aunt Fifth have to take care of Xi'er, and they can't get away. Grandma, we Today, I decided to tell her that Huanxi’s younger sister will be back next year. She immediately felt better and was willing to take medicine. Grandma is suffering from a heart problem. She will get better soon with hope. The younger brothers don’t have to worry about it, it’s the second brother ..."

Gu Jun recently went to the Huguo Temple in the capital, Long Xingchen was afraid that he might not want to become a monk.

Gu Cheng saw that Long Xingchen took care of the house properly and took good care of his family, "Second brother, let him go. If he really wants to become a monk in the future, I won't stop him!"

"..."

Long Xingchen looked at Gu Cheng, "Time is the best medicine, he won't listen to our persuasion, wait for sister Huanxi to come back, let her persuade him!"

"That's right. He's such a person. He was arrogant and free and easy since he was a child. The only thing that hurts his heart is joy. If there is no one who is a son, he may not be so hurt, but he is a daughter..."

God knows, how much their family wishes for two more girls in the family.

Gu Cheng hugged Long Xingchen, "Xingchen, give me a daughter in the coming year!"

Long Xingchen paused and nodded.

After a moment of tenderness, Long Xingchen said again, "I asked the fourth brother today, he doesn't like Miss Gong, and Miss Gong also wants to enter the palace, you see..."

"Fulfill her!"

Long Xingchen nodded, "There is also the marriage of the fourth younger brother. My uncle Wang's family has a younger sister, and there are many of them now. I want to take the fourth younger brother to have a look. Uncle Wang has to stand in line!"

Those uncles of hers are all thieves, and they never expressed their support for anyone, and they secretly rubbed people's hearts.

"Xingchen..."

"Since we have embarked on this path, we must fight for it. If we let that person ascend the throne, we will only die. My fourth uncle doesn't care, but my fourth aunt is extremely powerful. They only have one daughter, who is I am a cousin, as long as my cousin and fourth brother can succeed, Aunt Si Wang will support us in her heart even if she doesn't say anything!"

"Huh..." Gu Cheng hugged Long Xingchen tightly.

"Thank you!"

"We are husband and wife!"

One sentence says it all.

It would be best for this marriage to work out, if it doesn't work out, don't worry about it.

Tomorrow she is going to see her cousin, the fourth brother is just sending her off.

It was another rare fine weather, Long Xingchen arranged the house well, and asked Gu Qi to escort him to the villa to see Long Jiruo.

Long Jiruo is not in good health, it's not bad, it's just that she's too squeamish and can't stand the cold, she will get sick when she gets cold. The family loves her and let her live in this villa. The villa was originally owned by my aunt and uncle, but now It was a gift to her.

Long Jiruo learned that Long Xingchen came to see her, so he ran out with a smile, "Ms. Daoist!"

When she looked at Gu Qi, she was taken aback.

Alien?

Is it...

Long Xingchen patted her on the head, "What are you thinking about, this is your brother-in-law's fourth brother, I came to see you today, he happened to be fine at the yamen, so he sent me here!"

"Really?" Long Jiruo didn't believe it.

However, if you look at Gu Qi seriously, she is a bit similar to her elder brother-in-law Gu Cheng, "Let me ask you, your elder brother-in-law is as good as him, are you as good as him?"

"It's better than Big Brother!" Gu Qi said.

Long Jiruo thought for a while, "Then what do you mean, you are not bad?"

"Fortunately!"

"It's like this..." Long Jiruo said after thinking about it seriously, "I drew a picture of a snow scene, but I always feel that something is missing. How about adding a few strokes for me?"

"It's an honor!" Gu Qi said.

Long Jiruo took his cousin's wrist and walked towards her yard.

This villa is in this mountain depression, and it is like spring all year round. It is freezing cold outside, but there are still flowers blooming and butterflies flying inside, and the fragrance is tangy.

Arriving at Long Jiruo's courtyard, Long Jiruo let Long Xingchen do whatever he wanted, and brought Gu Qi to the desk, "Hey, take a look, I drew this, how do you feel?"

Gu Qi looked at it seriously and couldn't help being surprised.

His painting skills are not bad, and he can't draw such a wonderful painting after ten or eight years of hard work.

"Did you see anything?" Long Jiruo asked.

"Something is missing!"

"what?"

"Kam plum!"

As Gu Qi said, she adjusted the colors on the side, and drew a few falling plum petals in one corner of the painting, and the artistic conception of the whole painting suddenly changed.

"what……"

Long Jiruo was pleasantly surprised.

It is really eye-catching, and the mood is far away. I didn't see the plum tree, but I seemed to feel the cold wind blowing the petals, and there were bursts of fragrance.

"Then if you came to paint, how would you paint?"

"Can I borrow something from the princess?"

"Ok, Ok!"

Long Jiruo immediately asked the servant girl to tidy up the table, spread the rice paper again, and asked Gu Qi to paint.

Gu Qi has been smart since she was a child, and her knowledge is very good. If it weren't for the accident in her family, he would have passed the imperial examination and soared to the sky, so why would she need to stay in a small position for the sake of her family.

Today he understands why he came here, and also understands the importance to the family if there is such a marriage.

He understands it all.

In addition, Long Jiruo looked really simple. When painting, he did whatever he wanted, and he made a picture of Aoxue Hanmei in one go.

"..."

Long Jiruo looked at Gu Qi differently.

Gu Cheng, that was the number one scholar in the dynasty. She also admires the current prime minister, and she must have fantasized about her husband.

Looking at Gu Qi now, she finally has a look.

Walking to Long Xingchen's side, "Cousin, tell me, tell me..."

"What?" Long Xingchen smiled.

Long Jiruo snorted coldly, "Cousin, although I'm not particularly smart, I'm not stupid either, so you have no intention of finding me a husband-in-law?"

"Of course there are, so what do you think of my fourth brother?" Long Xingchen asked.

"Looks like..."

Long Jiruo was looking at Gu Qi who was finishing the painting, and felt that he was tall and handsome, dressed in a stone-blue gown, and he was painting behind their backs at the moment, with a sense of gentleness and elegance in his leisurely manner.

The jade crown bound some hair, and some hair fell loose like cloud satin.

It happened that Gu Qi looked back and said with a smile, "I'm done, sister-in-law and princess come over to comment!"

The star pupils are scorching, shining and warm.

That is the radiance of self-confidence, but it seduces people's feelings and sinks involuntarily.

Especially with that handsome face, Long Jiruo blushed immediately.

I just feel my heart pounding.

"Cousin, cousin!"

Long Xingchen smiled, "Then let's go and have a look!"

She knew that the brothers of the Gu family were all pretty and capable, and Gu Qi wanted to express herself today, so it would be strange if she could not be fascinated by her inexperienced cousin.

Aoxue Hanmei, looking at the whiteness of the plum blossoms, it seems that the branches are really crushed by snow.

Not far away, there was a woman walking slowly holding an umbrella.

The most wonderful thing is the two lines of poems in the corner, "Aoxue Hanmei blooms alone, only Yiren comes here!"

And the color of the clothes was exactly the same as the clothes that Long Jiruo wore today, even the umbrella.

Long Jiruo looked at the umbrella on the shelf, the color was also the same.

This guy, tease her.

Gazing at Gu Qi, Gu Qi also looked at her with a smile.

Long Jiruo blushed, and hid behind Long Xingchen, "Cousin, how about I come to your house for a few days?"

"Okay!"

If Long Ji wanted to go out, he had to pack a lot of things.

Zhuxiang took the lead in tidying up. There were several big boxes of clothes, as well as various living utensils and medicines.

Long Jiruo looked at the big box of medicines, and at Gu Qi who was drinking tea.

Would he think that she was just a medicine jar and despise her?
Long Jiruo glanced at Long Xingchen, saw Long Xingchen was smiling, eyes full of ridicule and jokes, and was very annoyed.

When I went back, several carriages were packed full.

Everyone knew what Long Xingchen was thinking, and she also hoped that Long Jiruo would be happy.

Gu Qi is gentle and knowledgeable, and the Gu family members are all good in nature, otherwise Gu Jun would not be swaying left and right, he was reluctant to hurt this one, he was reluctant to hurt that one, and finally both of them were hurt.

on the carriage

Long Jiruo asked softly, "Cousin, did he say we kissed?"

"not yet!"

"Really not?"

"No, so if you have an idea, go for it!"

"Well, I understand!"

She rarely sees outsiders, especially strangers, throughout the year.

The strange man she met these years was just a pastoral, and he was so unattractive, anyway, she didn't like it.

She saved his life at the beginning, and her second brother saved his life again, but she didn't want to repay her kindness to her elder brother. Maybe this is fate.

She also knew that she would marry sooner or later, and she also thought about marrying a man as talented as her eldest brother-in-law, but there was only one man of that kind, and she had no choice but to give up.

"Cousin, you are so kind to me!" Long Jiruo hugged Long Xingchen's arm.

Know what she likes, so send what.

"Hmph, it's good to know. Let me tell you, he is not in a high official position now, and he is still idle. He spends a lot of time at home. You can get along with him and see if he has real talents!"

"Yes, I know!"

Long Xingchen brought Long Jiruo back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the news of Gu Qi's accompanying escort reached the second prince, Long Kan. Long Kan sneered, "My sister has a good plan!"

I want Gu Qi to marry Long Jiruo...

"Your Highness?"

"Send someone to intercept and kill Gu Qi!"

"Your Highness, no, the new year is coming soon, and Gu Qi is in the imperial capital again. If something really happens, I'm afraid that the emperor will strictly investigate. The emperor was very dissatisfied with you for the incident in Jinxianghou's residence last time..."

Long Kan laughed out loud, "When has my father been satisfied with me?"

But still was persuaded.

Prince Gong's Mansion...

Those were the eyeballs of the imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother.

Because Prince Gong was stupid when he was a child, and he is still stupid now, so everyone in the family gave him way and loved him.

"Not reconciled!"

If this marriage is successful, Prince Gong's Mansion will stand in line.

How could he be willing.

The staff were silent.

In fact, the worst move the second prince made was to attack the fourth house of the Gu family, stepping on Gu Cheng's painful foot, and meeting Gu Cheng's Nilin.

If he had tried his best to win Gu Cheng over, it would have been the greatest help.

pity……

Long Jiruo has a lively personality. When he arrived at home, he quickly won the favor of Grandma and Grandpa. The two elders are kind-hearted people. Looking at Long Jiruo, Grandma can feel that the atmosphere at home is different, because This kid is really cute and funny.

Accompanying the adults to play leaf cards, she would be unhappy if she lost, and the child was nervous, so Gu Qi gave her some advice and gave her some pointers, but it beat Long Xingchen and the others to their knees.

Long Xingchen lost all the money in front of him, threw the leaf card away, and said to Gu Yushi and Gu Wenshi, "Fifth Aunt, Mother, we can see that if you want to win our money, don't come Don't come, I will never be fooled!"

Gu Yushi knew what Long Xingchen meant.

As a daughter-in-law, Long Jiruo has a higher status, but high status has its advantages. She can take good care of the two younger brothers below, and can also pull Gu Qi to go higher. She is not the kind who cares about everything and loves to do evil. people.

This marriage is about to come to an end, she learns from her third sister-in-law, takes care of her grandson at home, listens to operas, and plants flowers in the flower garden, so her life is relaxed and comfortable.

Long Jiruo smiled and put all the money into his purse.Pulling Gu Qi out of the warming room.

Zhu Xiang hurriedly took the cloak and followed, fearing that Long Jiruo would catch the cold.

"Gu Qi!"

"Ok?"

Long Jiruo held the won silver in his hand, "Let's share it!"

"No, it's all for you!"

"Aren't you short of money?" Long Jiruo asked.

Gu Qi shook her head, "There is no shortage, I have a salary, and my sister-in-law will take care of the family's food and drink expenses, and my second brother will give me money if he earns money!"

"Are you rich?" Long Jiruo asked again.

"No, I've only saved more than 1 taels of silver so far!" Gu Qi said, a little ashamed.

Long Jiruo laughed out loud.

More than 1 taels of silver, what kind of money is that?

But considering Gu Qi's background, he doesn't need to worry about the food and drink expenses these years, it's no wonder he has money.

"Then, then..." Long Jiruo swallowed, "Let's start a business together!"

"doing what?"

"Sell paintings, let's paint and sell together, get a name, and then I draw you to sell for me, and make money, how about we share it equally?"

"..."

Gu Qi looked at Long Jiruo.

This little girl dared to think.

His eldest brother's paintings are expensive, that's because he himself is the No. [-] Scholar.

Gu Qi also wanted to take the imperial examination.

Especially next year, but he might not have the chance now.

"We can also open a calligraphy and painting shop together, and sell paintings, characters, books, etc. to students who come to the capital to rush for the exam. We charge a small amount of money, and we can also sell some books, surrounded by pens, inks, papers, and inkstones. What do you think? ?” Long Jiruo asked again.

"Rushing for the exam..." Gu Qi sighed.

"?"

"I actually want to take the exam too!"

Long Jiruo looked at Gu Qi.

After hesitating for a moment, he had an idea, "Gu Qi, what do you think of me?"

"...?"

Gu Qi looked at Long Jiruo.

"Do you think I'm good-looking?"

"nice!"

"cute?"

"cute!"

"Then are you willing to marry me?" Long Jiruo asked seriously.

The bamboo fragrance not far away is ashamed.

Her princess is really too bold.

Gu Qi looked at Long Jiruo, with a peach blossom face and starry eyes.

Such a proud daughter of heaven, he is naturally willing.

But I also understand that once a promise is made, it is a lifetime.

Nod carefully.

Seeing Gu Qi nodding, Long Jiruo laughed.

"You want to take the exam, I have a way!"

"what……"

Gu Qi was surprised.

"My parents are back, come to the palace to propose marriage earlier!" Long Jiruo turned around and left after finishing speaking.

After staying in Xiangfu for one night, he went back to Wangfu.

Since you are asking for a kiss, you have to get some air first.

Long Xingchen prepared generous gifts and went to Prince Gong's mansion.

When Prince Gong saw Long Xingchen, he smiled like Maitreya Buddha, "Xingchen is here, sit down quickly!"

Very enthusiastic.

"How is Uncle Wang?"

"Okay, very good, how about you, how are you? I heard from your Aunt Wang that you gave birth to a son, when will you hold it for me to play with!"

"..."

Long Xingchen was taken aback.

Prince Gong hurriedly said, "Ahaha, I mean, come here and give me a hug!"

"it is good!"

Let's talk about it first, as for when to hug it, let's talk about it.

This Uncle Wang is not accurate at all.

"Uncle Wang, where's Aunt Wang?"

"We're practicing martial arts in the backyard!" Prince Gong said, with love in his eyes, "Go, I'll show you there!"

Prince Gong's concubine, Liao Ying, came from a family of generals. Her father was Marquis of Jin Jiang, who followed the Supreme Emperor to conquer the world, and her mother was also the famous female general Xun Yan.

The two of them had just such a daughter. When they were young, they wanted to raise a more delicate girl, but it turned out that she was not as good as God. The older Liao Ying was, the more she loved to practice martial arts.

He is as heroic as a man.

When Princess Gong saw Long Xingchen, she smiled coldly, and said to Prince Gong, "Go and see if the pastry is ready!"

"Ah..." Prince Gong was stunned, it seems the kitchen didn't steam pastries?
"I ordered someone to steam the rice cake for you to eat. Go and see if it's ready. If it's ready, bring some to Xing Chen to taste!"

When Prince Gong heard this, he closed his eyes with a smile. Regardless of Long Xingchen's presence, he stepped forward to hug Prince Gong and Princess Gong and kissed her hard, "Young lady, I'm going!"

Teng Teng Teng walked fast, not at all like a person in his decades.

Long Xingchen watched and said with a smile, "Uncle Wang is still walking like flying!"

"Hmph, don't flatter me, you are so careful, you are plotting to come to your cousin!" Princess Gong snorted coldly.

"Aunt Wang, you have wronged me. How dare I plot against my cousin. I just thought that the fourth brother in the family is really good, and he is quite suitable for my cousin, so I took the red line. Aunt Wang, you know, Tang My sister is pure, so you can rest assured if you marry into another family? But if you marry into the Gu family, apart from anything else, there will be absolutely no disputes between sisters-in-law!" Long Xingchen said seriously, with a smile on his face.

A pair of eyes are bright and bright.
