County's main favorite wife

Chapter 57 Candidates

After hearing Gu Yin's words, Gu Xuan blushed. "Sister, I...I don't want to marry yet."

"Silly sister, can't you see what our family looks like now? You are not young, listen to what my sister says, get married quickly." The two sisters, Gu Yin and Gu Xuan, have had a deep relationship since they were young. I became more and more worried about my sister.

"Then... there must be something suitable for that." There was nothing that could not be said between the sisters.She didn't want Gu Yin to belong to her.There is no one in her heart, she just wants to marry a high family.

"I'll ask my second aunt to take a look for you. After I get married, I can also take a look for you. Xuan'er, you must be careful when you are at home. Father is all about the bureau, so he can't be counted on. There is no need to count on your mother being sick like this. You have to take care of yourself, you know?" Gu Yin had an ominous premonition that something would happen to the Gu family.

"Sister, I know. Don't worry." Gu Xuan's eyes were red.The two sisters have lived together for many years, no matter what the outsiders are, at least the two of them are close.

Wu Siran's room door was locked.She is so crazy now that Gu Haozhi dare not let her out to make a fool of herself.On weekdays, only maids are responsible for delivering meals and water on time.Wu Siran was always chaotic, as if he was dreaming a dream that he would never wake up from.There are always people she doesn't like in front of her eyes.Some of them are dead, some are alive.For example, now, she saw Gu Li in front of her eyes.

"You came out again, but what can I do? I know you are my illusion, I'm not afraid of you! Hahaha, I'm not afraid of you!" She smiled and stretched out her hand to grab it. Once caught, Gu Li would be like The smoke generally dissipated.

She got it.However, Gu Li did not dissipate, but looked at her with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter with you?" Wu Siran panicked, she took a few steps back and sat down on the chair.

"Do you understand now? I'm not your illusion." Gu Li walked to sit opposite her, "I came to see you specially."

"What are you doing here? To see me in such a mess?" Wu Siran looked at her warily.

Gu Li shook her head, "I'm here to help you." Seeing that Wu Siran didn't believe her, she asked, "It's rare that you don't feel that your mind is clearer now?"

Wu Siran was stunned, and felt it carefully, and there was indeed no sense of chaos. "You did it?"

"It's me." Gu Li said with a smile: "I am the one who poisoned you, and I am the one who detoxifies you."

"You... what do you want?" Wu Siran could understand that Gu Li poisoned her, but he didn't understand why he wanted to help her detoxify.Is it a discovery of conscience?How can it be?

"Gu Yin is getting married, and she will be sad if your mother is not here. Although I hate you, I don't hate Gu Yin." Gu Li stood up, "I'll give you half a month of sobriety. Take care of yourself." Said After finishing, she didn't wait for Wu Siran to speak, opened the window and flew to the room to leave.

Wu Siran stared at the window in a daze, and it took him a long time to react.Regardless of whether Gu Li is telling the truth or not, she will arrange the marriage for her daughter.

Wu Siran's sudden awakening surprised the Gu family.Everyone's mood here is different.The two sisters Gu Yin and Gu Xuan wept with joy.The second wife of the Gu family is not in a good mood.After Wu Siran went crazy, the power of the Gu family fell into her hands.This makes her who has been silent and afraid to show anything come in handy.Now that Wu Siran is suddenly sober, she has no choice but to return the power to head the house, return to her small courtyard, and continue to remain unknown.

The most surprising thing was Gu Haozhi.He once invited the imperial physician to see Wu Siran's madness, the imperial physician said that there was no way to treat it, and now Wu Siran miraculously regained consciousness.He just took in a concubine a few days ago, and the red sleeves add fragrance every night, just when the love is strong.Wu Siran didn't make a fuss when he heard about it, but a few days later, the concubine's body was found in the dry well in the backyard.

Gu Haozhi felt distressed, and had a big fight with Wu Siran.Wu Siran sneered and said, "Do you still remember what you said when you went to my house to ask for marriage?"

Of course Gu Haozhi remembered.Back then, Wu Youran, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wuning's family, had entered the palace as a concubine.In order to marry Wu Siran, the second daughter of the Wu family, he promised that he would never take a concubine in this life.Because of this sentence, he couldn't accept Yao Chuxue.Because of this sentence, for so many years, he didn't even have a housemaid in his room.Men are all greedy for novelty, and he also had times when he was distracted, but he could only let out a long sigh after his heart fluttered.So after confirming that Wu Siran couldn't wake up, he quickly took the girl he had set his eyes on for a long time into the house.But he didn't expect Wu Siran to wake up, and as soon as he woke up, he attacked his people.

Gu Haozhi was annoyed, but he didn't dare to continue arguing with Wu Siran.Once the news about the family house is spread, it will not be good for his official reputation.

Above the imperial court, the mission of the Ling Kingdom proposed that the Ling Kingdom should be established by martial arts, and wanted to marry a woman who knew martial arts.This request has never been seen before, and Emperor Zhengyun is quite interested.

In Anguo's mansion, the left ministers Qin Wenyuan and Qin Wenbo speculated about Ling Guo's intentions.

"Women who know martial arts, even if you add all the official ladies in the capital, how many can there be?" Qin Wenbo asked.

Qin Wenyuan already held a list compiled by his officials. "Including your family, there are only seven people."

Qin Wenbo took the list and looked at it, "Even Princess Yuqian is included."

"It's just counted. According to the emperor's wishes, he would not choose Princess Yuqian as a marriage candidate. Neither can yours." Qin Wenyuan said.

"Of course, Li'er belongs to Qiqi." Qin Wenbo's proud appearance was exactly the same as Qin Qi's.That counts to only five.Most of these five girls were born in the families of military generals, and their father and brother taught them some martial arts.

"I think Ling people should have a candidate, but it's hard to say clearly." Qin Wenbo closed the list and said.

"Guess who it is?" Qin Wenyuan also thought of this level.

Qin Wenbo tapped his finger on the table, "I guess it's the Wei family." The Duke of Wei's mansion is a family of military generals, and there are three Wei family ladies on this list.

"Which lady from the Wei family is?" Qin Wenyuan continued to ask.

"How do you guess this?" Qin Wenbo was also stumped.

Qin Wenyuan didn't speak, picked up a pen and wrote a word on the paper, and held it up to show his younger brother.

"Qi?" Qin Wenbo stretched his eyebrows, "Miss Wei?"

"Go back and ask your family? She knows a lot of things." Qin Wenyuan said mysteriously.

After Gu Li left Gu's house, he went to Zuixian Tower.In the private room on the second floor, Qin Qi was chatting with Wei Hanqi.Seeing Gu Li come back, Qin Qi called out "Sister Li" and sat beside Gu Li.

Wei Hanqi looked at the two people in front of him showing affection without any shyness, shook his head and said, "You two princesses, I'm still sitting here."

Qin Qi nodded. "Sister Qi, let's talk about you now."

The three of us made an appointment here today to listen to Wei Hanqi's explanation.

Wei Hanqi comes from a family of martial arts, and she doesn't have the pretentiousness of Miss Jingcheng.She took a sip of tea, and slowly told about her relationship with Jiang Yuexuan, the third prince of the Ling Kingdom.

Two years ago, Wei Hanqi had just reached the age of Ji.Her father fulfilled his promise to her and took her to the border.For Wei Hanqi, who has longed for the border since she was a child, this is the best gift for her.At the border, she lived happily every day.The border is not as difficult as the capital, and the conditions are much more difficult, but she doesn't mind it at all.Every day in the barracks, I had a great time.Even when there was a battle outside the city, she also wore the clothes of the soldiers and mixed with the soldiers and went out of the city to fight.That was the first time she experienced the cruelty and bloodiness of war.After she came back, she was punished by her father to go to the mountains outside the city to pick a herb called "Wanghuo".It is used to treat the wounded.She took her good things and went out of the city and up the mountain.On the mountain, she rescued a man, Jiang Yuexuan, the third prince of the Ling Kingdom.

Jiang Yuexuan also came out to play.Although Ling Country does not border Mingxi, it is not far from the border of Ling Country to Mingxi Border Pass.Jiang Yuexuan went out to hunt, but caught up with the frontier to fight.He was involved in the battle group, killed by soldiers on both sides, and fled into the mountains with all his life.

Wei Hanqi didn't know his identity at the time, but just hid him in a cave.After that, I came to see him every day with food and medicinal materials in the name of picking herbs.Until one day, when she came again, Jiang Yuexuan had already left.

A year later, Wei Hanqi passed by Ling country when returning to the teacher's gate, but was surrounded and captured alive, and was taken to a manor.Only after seeing him did he realize that it was the person he had saved a year ago.Jiang Yuexuan revealed his identity and asked her to stay and marry him.I also knew that Wei Hanqi could not agree.Jiang Yuexuan didn't say anything, but after besieging her for five days, seeing that she didn't change her mind at all, he let her go.

Three months ago, Jiang Yuexuan sneaked into the capital to find Wei Hanqi.He still wanted Wei Hanqi to marry her.Wei Hanqi still refused.But Wei Hanqi also knew that he already had this domineering and unreasonable man in his heart.That time when Jiang Yuexuan was hunted down, Wei Hanqi tried his best to help him stay away from the capital.For this reason, Wei Hanqi spent a full month recuperating from his injuries at home.

The story is simple to tell, but Gu Li knows that Wei Hanqi must have skipped a lot of details.These two people can live and die together, there must be a lot of experience.

"What are you going to do now?" Gu Li asked.

"I..." Wei Hanqi was very frank when he mentioned these things just now, but when he asked about his plans, he hesitated. "I don't know either."

"Sister Qi, why didn't you marry him?" Qin Qi didn't understand.She could tell that the two were happy with each other.Then why not be together?

Wei Hanqi sighed, "Princess, my Duke of Wei's mansion has guarded the border for Mingxi for generations. The Wei family has an unwritten family rule that daughters of the Wei family are not allowed to marry into other countries. It is for Mingxi to go to war with other countries one day. The family will not be embarrassed. I am the daughter of the Wei family, so I should abide by the family rules."

"Rules are dead, but people are alive." Qin Xi said. "Sister Qi, if the emperor's uncle orders this matter, will your family still object?"

"This..." Wei Hanqi knew that with the imperial decree, the family must obey the decree. "The Wei family acted according to the emperor's order, so naturally they would not object."

"That's good! I'll go and talk to the emperor's uncle about it." Qin Qi said happily.

"But..." Wei Hanqi couldn't say whether he wanted to stop it, but he just didn't think it should be done.

Gu Li finally spoke. "Miss Wei, I just want to ask you one question, are you willing to marry Jiang Yuexuan?"

Wei Hanqi blushed. "Of course I am willing to marry him. But I don't want to marry his identity." She finally knew why she was so hesitant.She didn't want to get involved in Ling's court battles.

"So you don't worry about letting him face those swords and arrows alone?" Gu Li asked.

Wei Hanqi looked up at Gu Li, and she saw her worried face in his calm eyes.That's right, can you rest assured that he faces those dangers alone?

"I understand." Wei Hanqi finally made up his mind.She said to Qin Xi: "Princess, please report the situation to the emperor, I am willing to marry Lingguo."

"Okay." Qin Qi saw the look on Wei Hanqi's face, and understood that Wei Hanqi had figured it out.Of course she is happy to see lovers finally get married.

Five days later, Emperor Zhengyun decreed that Wei Hanqi, the daughter of the patriarch of Wei, should be the Princess of Jianing, and she would marry Lingguo far away.Because Wei Hanqi's marriage has contributed to the community, a special decree was made to grant Wei Hanqi's father the Marquis of Anping.

Five days later, the Lingguo Mission left Beijing.Both Gu Li and Qin Qi went to meet Wei Hanqi the night before.Wei Hanqi is very grateful to both of them for being able to facilitate this marriage.

"Princess Suian, you have to be careful of King Rui." Taking advantage of Qin Qi's respect, Wei Hanqi said softly.

Gu Li raised his eyebrows, "King Rui?"

Wei Hanqi nodded. "There are rumors in the capital that the Gu family asked you to recognize your ancestor and return to the clan because King Rui took a fancy to you and wanted to accept you as a side concubine. Although I don't know why King Rui didn't take action for so long, I can be sure that this rumor is not Out of nowhere."

Gu Li came to the capital for a few months, and only met King Rui once at Qin Qi's Jiji ceremony banquet, and he knocked him unconscious in the end.She never thought that she would have anything to do with King Rui.

"Anyway, just be careful." Wei Hanqi couldn't say anything else.Qin Qi has already returned.

"Thank you." The two women looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.

After the Lingguo mission left Beijing, there were two big happy events in the capital in the next month.One is that Rui Wang Cheng Jie married Gu Yin, the daughter of Gu's patriarch, as his side concubine.The other thing is that Duan Wang Chengming married Jiang Nianwei, the princess of Lingguo Xiluo, as his concubine.Both are royal weddings, so naturally they should be held in a grand and festive manner.

On the afternoon of the second day of junior high school, Gu Li and Qin Qi came to Gu's house to add makeup to Gu Yin.The inflammation on Qin Qi's body didn't flare up last month, and it was the beginning of another month, Gu Li still didn't dare to take it lightly.But judging by Qin Qi's appearance, there was no sign of an attack at all.

The two entered the gate of Gu's house, and a maid came to lead the way.As the daughter of the Gu family, Gu Li didn't go too far.Before adding makeup to Gu Yin, I went to Huarongzhai to see the old lady.

Huarongzhai has long since lost its former excitement.After the old lady fell ill, everyone insisted on coming over to pay her respects at first, but gradually they stopped coming.

When Yuan's mother saw Gu Li coming in, her hands trembled in fright, and the medicine bowl in her hand almost fell to the ground. "Li...Miss Li...no... Princess Sui'an..." Mama Yuan came over to greet her incoherently.Gu Li waved his hand, "Mother Yuan, I have something to say to my grandmother."

Mama Yuan glanced at the old lady, then at Gu Li, but still bowed her head and went out.

Gu Li asked Qin Qi to sit by the window and play by herself, and she sat on the little stool Yuan's mother had made just now.

The old lady lying on the bed was very old.Most of the hair that was originally black and shiny has all turned gray.She was lying on the bed motionless at the moment, but her eyes were wide open, obviously she wanted to say something.

"Grandmother, granddaughter is here to see you." Gu Li picked up the handkerchief beside him and helped the old lady wipe away the drool from her mouth. "How have you been during this time? You see, your granddaughter is doing well. It's thanks to you. If you don't ask your granddaughter to come back, your granddaughter won't return to the Gu family. If you don't try to marry your granddaughter, The granddaughter will not ask the eldest princess for help, nor will she be accepted by the eldest princess as a righteous daughter and become the princess. Grandma, you want to marry me to King Rui, right?" Gu Li said slowly, but his eyes kept paying attention The old lady's eyes changed.Sure enough, when she said this, the old lady's eyes widened even wider. "It's a pity that I'm the princess now, and the title of side concubine is not enough. But don't be sad. The granddaughter can't marry, and there is Gu Yin. She will marry into Rui Wang's mansion tomorrow, you are very happy. "

The old lady's breathing was short, obviously because of her emotional ups and downs.Gu Li calmed her down considerately, "You're already like this, what else can you worry about? You have to take care of your health, the Gu family you value the most hasn't collapsed yet." Her voice was soft, as if A granddaughter whispers something in her grandmother's ear.But to the old lady, every word of these words is like a poisonous snake, trying to wrap her to death.

The two left Huarongzhai, Qin Qi asked: "Sister Li, what did you say that Mrs. Gu wanted to marry you to King Rui?"

Gu Li said with a smile: "It's just a rumor, I wasn't sure about it. But just now..."

"Are you sure?" Qin Qi had a bad expression on his small face.

Gu Li nodded.See how the bunny reacts.

Qin Qi snorted, "The Gu family is so annoying!" She hugged Gu Li's arm and said, "Sister Li is mine, don't give it to anyone!"

Gu Li almost laughed out loud.She hurriedly covered her mouth, maintaining the last demeanor of a lady. "What's yours is yours."

After getting Gu Li's assurance, Qin Qi was still aggrieved.She really didn't leave a good impression of this Gu family.

The two went to Gu Yin's residence of Lingshuang together.At this time, Lingshuang Curie was decorated with lights and festoons, creating a festive atmosphere.Gu Yin was sitting in her room, surrounded by a group of ladies and ladies talking.On the Eight Immortals table in the outer room, there are all kinds of makeup gifts, and the table is full of piles.

When Gu Li and Qin Qi entered the door, most people had to salute, including Gu Yin.

"Master Feng'an, Sister Li, you are finally here." Gu Yin looked surprised.

"Your wedding, why don't I come?" Gu Li said and Qin Qi took out the makeup gift and put it on the table in front of Gu Yin.

"What did the two princesses give you?" A curious young lady came over to look at it.

What Gu Li sent was a pair of dragon and phoenix hairpins.This was rewarded from the palace, so it is naturally not ordinary.The gifts are few, but very valuable.Several people were amazed, and they all praised the generosity of Princess Sui'an.What Qin Qi gave was a small stone.Ladies looked around, and finally a sensible person recognized that this is a Tianhuang stone, which is a good material for engraving.Everyone was puzzled, but Gu Yin knew that King Rui loved seal carving and collected these high-quality stones everywhere.This gift is given to King Rui, he must like it.

"Thank you Princess, Miss Li." Gu Yin took the gifts, especially Fangtian Huangshi, and asked the servant girl to put them away carefully.

After the delivery was over, Gu Li didn't want to stay any longer when he saw the noise in the room.Pulling Qin Qi, he was about to leave.When I went out, I happened to see Mrs. Wu Siran coming in.As soon as the two sides met, Wu Siran took a step back as if seeing a ghost, Gu Li just smiled, "Ma'am, cherish your time."

It wasn't until Gu Li left that Wu Siran came to his senses.The handkerchief in her hand was clenched tightly.How can we get rid of this girl?After she woke up, she thought about it every day, and her brain hurt from thinking about it.

After leaving Gu's house and getting into the carriage, Qin Qi asked, "Sister Li, Da Furen is very afraid of you."

"She has done too many bad things." Gu Li saw that it was still early, and after asking Qin Qi's opinion, he took her to Xinyuefang.

Xinyuefang is now open for business.Yue Ruxin was sitting in her room putting on her makeup.

"Aunt Xin!" Qin Qi called sweetly at the door.

Yue Ruxin turned her head, saw Gu Li and Qin Qi standing at the door, and hurriedly said, "Come in, what are you doing standing at the door?"

"Aunt Xin is so beautiful tonight!" Qin Qi was a girl with a heart, and at a glance, she saw that Yue Ruxin had been well-dressed.

Yue Ruxin looked at Qin Qi lovingly, "Aunt Xin is going on stage tonight."

"Ah?" Qin Qi's eyes widened, "I haven't seen Aunt Xin perform on stage yet."

Yue Ruxin smiled, but there was a bit of bitterness in the smile. "20 years ago today, Chuxue and I performed on stage for the first time. That time we performed a suite called "Liu Li Ye". "Yue Ruxin seemed to have the grand occasion of that night in front of her eyes.Yue Ruxin played the guzheng, Yao Chuxue played the pipa, and the perfect combination of the two ensembles won applause from the audience.

At that time, the two sisters had imagined that one day they would find a loyal and honest man to marry, take care of their husbands and raise their children, and when they were old, they could sit together and talk about their youth.Who would have thought that 20 years later, Yao Chuxue would have been buried deep in the ground, and she would not want to marry again.

"Aunt Xin, let me play with you." Gu Li understood that Yue Ruxin's loss of focus was due to his mother.Although the mother is gone, but let her catch up, this may be the mother's arrangement.

"But... Can you play "Liu Li Ye"?" This is a suite, and it won't be able to practice in a while.

Gu Li smiled, "Master Wen taught me." Wen Xiange did teach her, but only her alone.Wen Xiange said that "Liu Li Ye" was her mother Yao Chuxue's famous song, so she should know it.

"Really?" Yue Ruxin was excited.She was supposed to play alone tonight.There are many girls who can play the pipa in the workshop, but there is no one who can keep up with her guzheng skills.A bosom friend is hard to find, she doesn't force it.I didn't want Gu Li to come here today, and he can also play "Liu Li Ye".Chuxue, is it really your arrangement?Yue Ruxin asked silently in her heart.

The author has something to say: Thank you Sifan for the mine, I love you~~~~

It was a hot day, and I didn't dare to go out at all. When I received the courier, I felt that the courier brother was working hard. I was roasted outside this day. Is there any reason?
