Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 689
Looking at the eccentric daughter, Lin reached out and pinched Gu Yanxi's nose lightly, and said in a doting tone, "You're really a villain, I can't hide anything from you."

Hearing what Lin said, even Gu Jin became interested, put down the spoon in his hand and looked at his wife: "Oh? Do you have any arrangements?"

Mrs. Lin coughed twice, cleared her throat, and said: "The old lady of Jingyanghou's mansion is a famous figure among the women's families in the capital, and even a crazy person like Princess Wen Xian is in front of her. Be a little restrained; in previous years, on her birthday, the emperor and queen in the palace would send congratulatory gifts. This year, the old matriarch's 80th birthday, how could it be possible that Jingyanghou's mansion can't handle it well? After five days, you just watch Well, I'm afraid that in this capital, all the dignified female family members and officials will go to celebrate their birthdays with gifts on their backs, and by then, the Jingyanghou Mansion will be the busiest place in our capital."

Gu Yanxi took his mother's words and said: "The old lady came from the Huaiyin palace, and this Huaiyin king is the first prince with a foreign surname in Daliang, which shows his identity and status; The old Hou Ye played harmoniously, and the husband and wife loved each other. Later, the old Hou Ye went to the battlefield and made outstanding achievements, which brought countless glory to the Jingyang Hou Mansion. Unfortunately, the sky was jealous of the talents, and the old Hou Ye unfortunately contracted a disease at the border. She died outside; when the bad news came back to the capital, the old lady cried to death several times. She thought that the old lady would be devastated after losing her beloved husband, but unexpectedly, she carried the whole Jingyang with the posture of a woman. The Hou Mansion not only raised her and the two beloved sons of the old Hou Ye carefully, but also educated the two beloved sons to become the pillars of the country; now this Jingyang Hou Mansion is not only a noble family in the capital, but also has a deep foundation The old matriarch is definitely responsible for this. The reason why the emperor and the empress bestow congratulatory gifts every year is to praise the old matriarch's unyielding side, and on the other hand, to commemorate the Jingyanghou mansion for many years. The achievements show the emperor's favor to the capital. In previous years, the birthday of the old matriarch of the Jingyang Mansion was something everyone in the capital talked about. Since her old man is 80 years old this year, I am afraid that this occasion is even more important than that. Better than last year.”

Gu Jin also said: "Jingyang Hou Mansion has been indebted to the emperor for these years. The current Lord Marquis is the eldest son of the old majesty, and also serves in the military department, and has a very good relationship with Lu Mansion; as for the second son, although he is not in the army No one in the capital would really underestimate these two brothers. Yixiang, since our family will continue to go to Jingyanghou Mansion to celebrate the old lady’s birthday this year, then we It is necessary to prepare the congratulatory gift early, and it must be prepared well."

Lin said: "Husband, please rest assured, just leave this kind of matter to your wife, and you don't have to worry about it. Of course, you can worry about other things."

After saying that, Lin Shi glanced at the seat where Gu Yanxi was sitting, and that look clearly meant something.

Gu Jin followed his wife's eyes and looked towards Gu Yanxi, only he was still kept in the dark, as if he didn't know anything: "Yixiang, what do you want to say?"

Lin's hated iron and steel and glared at Gu Jinjiao, then turned her head and looked at Gu Yanxi tenderly, grabbed her hand and put it in the palm of her hand, and said earnestly: "Looking at Jiaojiao's young age, The year is also getting older, and Xin'er, who is comparable to her, has already made an appointment with Chao'er, and it's time for our biological daughter's marriage to be put on the agenda."

After hearing what her mother said, Gu Yanxi immediately sighed "Sure enough" in her heart.

As for Gu Jin, he looked at his wife with surprised eyes: "Jiaojiao is still young, and she will only be a year old, so it is too early to start her marriage at this time?"

Seeing that her husband was contradicting her, Lin immediately glared at her husband and said, "Just you yelling all day long whether you are in a hurry. If the day comes, let me see if you are still in a hurry; of course I know our family is not in a hurry. Jiaojiao is still young, but just because she is young doesn't mean that she can't plan first; let's pay attention to the noble young man who is full of the capital and Jiaojiao's age, and then observe carefully, if it is really a good one, It must not be let go; the marriage of this daughter's family is completely different from that of your men. The more you plan ahead, the more you will be able to find a satisfactory husband in the future. If we start late, it will be a good result. It was taken away by someone, and even if our daughter is beautiful, then this marriage will be delayed by us, do you understand?!"

Gu Jin looked at his wife who was getting more and more excited as she talked, and he didn't quite understand it, but it was enough for him to understand that the reason why his wife was so keen to choose a good husband for her daughter earlier was also for the good of the child. ; just as his wife said, their daughter is beautiful and beautiful, and her status is not inferior to any boudoir woman in Beijing. The daughter who was raised by them so pampered and spoiled naturally has to plan for her well. In the future, look out for her and find a good husband.

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Jin didn't say anything more, and immediately chose to stand by his wife's side, saying: "Since you already have a plan in mind, then I won't discourage your enthusiasm; During the birthday banquet of the old matriarch of the Hou Mansion, you should take a closer look, our daughter is so outstanding and beautiful, there is no shortage of son-in-laws who will take the lead."

Seeing that her husband agreed with her approach, Mrs. Lin became even more eager to try, and said: "Don't worry, the old lady's birthday banquet must be very lively. Everyone in this capital knows that the old lady likes children. When the time comes There will be many young men and women going to the Yanghou Mansion. At that time, I will bring Jiaojiao in front of people, let our daughter show her face, and then sit next to those wives in the back house. I don’t believe it, our daughter It will not be the object they want to see."

After saying these words, Lin's proudly stretched out her hand to touch Gu Yanxi's cheek. Seeing such a delicate and delicate daughter, she became more and more satisfied; at this moment, she could even imagine that her It will be more colorful and unique in Jingyanghou's mansion.

Gu Yanxi looked at her mother's expression, and guessed what she was thinking in her heart; but compared to her mother's excited mood, although she had a smile on her face at this time, her mood was heavy.

In her previous life, she accompanied her mother to the old matriarch's birthday banquet. That birthday banquet completely changed her fate, and it also made her feel extremely regretful every time she thought about it in the years to come.
