Ci Jinzhi Chapter 130

  Chapter 130 Asking for something

   Mrs. Gu Changbo hit a wall one after another, and her mood fell to the bottom.

   "Ze'er is just naughty. Those families in Beijing who are similar to us don't have one or two naughty children, why don't they look down on Ze'er!"

   Gu Changbo is much more sensible than Mrs. Gu Changbo: "Is Ze'er a bit naughty? Ma'am, you should lower your expectations. A girl with a good family background, character, appearance, and ability is really not the turn of our son."

   "I've already lowered my requirements. I even made appointments for tea with people I hadn't considered before. Who knows that when Ze'er is mentioned, the other party pretends to be confused."

   Mrs. Gu Changbo panicked when she thought about being rejected by someone who was far inferior to her.

"Forcibly twisted melons are not sweet, and people don't want to and can't force them." Gu Changbo sighed, and suddenly remembered, "I met the old lady of Duan's family, the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, on the day of Chongyang. Didn't the other party have that intention? Didn't you go check it out?"

   Mrs. Gu Changbo frowned subconsciously: "Didn't you say you won't get involved with Miss Kou?"

Uncle Gu Chang didn't take it seriously: "The Duan family is just Miss Kou's uncle's family, and it's not for you to marry Miss Kou. I remember that day, besides Miss Kou, there were two other girls who were about the same age as Ze'er, both of whom were good-looking. "

"But-"

   "If you don't like it, then search for it again, and don't complain to me if you get rejected again."

   Mrs. Gu Changbo was not reconciled, and invited two more wives to drink tea, and then gave up.

   It seems that either they have to wait for two years, until the people in Beijing forget what Ze'er caused in Chongyang Day, or they can only make do with the Shaoqing Mansion.

   Gu Changbo's words made Mrs. Gu Changbo stop hesitating.

   "Two years? As for that **** Ze'er, can you guarantee that you won't get into trouble for these two years? Later on, he will make a fuss about marrying Miss Kou, and the whole capital will know about it. Shall we agree or not?"

   "Uncle is right."

  The old lady was very surprised when she received a post from Mrs. Gu Changbo.

   Didn't the other party avoid the temptation on the Double Ninth Festival, why did they send another post?

   Shaoqing's Mansion has nothing to do with Guchangbo's Mansion, so the old lady doesn't think that behind this post is pure tea drinking.

   That's right, Gu Changbo's son got into trouble and became a topic of conversation in the capital after dinner. Mrs. Gu Changbo was afraid that it was not going well in seeking a marriage for her son, so she thought of Shaoqing's mansion.

   Figured out the joints, the old lady was not very happy.

  Who wants to be picked and picked by others?

   You can think about it rationally, but you can't bear to refuse.

  Dai Ze is the only heir of Uncle Gu Chang, and his granddaughter will be the wife of the eldest son once she marries. What's more important is that Uncle Guchang's mansion is King Qing's natal family. One day in the future, Mrs. Uncle may become Mrs. Hou, or even Mrs. Duke.

   It was at this juncture when Gu Chang Bo's son lost his face, the marriage between Shaoqing's Mansion and Gu Chang Bo's Mansion had a bad reputation, and it would make people chew their tongues and ignore other things for the sake of wealth and glory.

  Before meeting Mrs. Gu Changbo, the old lady told Duan Shaoqing about this concern.

   "Mother is confused. After this juncture, is the Guchangbo Mansion still willing to settle down?"

   "Afraid of being gossiped? This kind of gossip will only last for a while, and who will dare to say something wrong in the future?"

   "Furthermore, Qiao's being suspended has a great impact on Hua'er and Ling'er, and those who are well-matched will probably mind. If you marry low, what help will it do to our family?"

   Duan Shaoqing's words reassured the old lady, and she soon met Mrs. Gu Changbo in the teahouse.

  A stage was set up in the middle of the tea house. Sitting in the elegant room on the second floor, you can see the stage clearly.

   From Mrs. Gu Changbo's words, the old lady confirmed that she guessed correctly, and Mrs. Gu Changbo understood the other party's attitude from the old lady's smile.

   When we meet again, it will be at Qingfengguan.

  There are many Taoist temples in the capital, and the Qingfeng Temple was originally an inconspicuous one. Since the master of the temple, Qingfeng Taoist priest, has become famous, it has prospered all of a sudden.

   This time, the old lady brought along two granddaughters, Duan Yunhua and Duan Yunling.

  When the two parties "met" by chance, unlike the indifference on the day of Chongyang Festival, Mrs. Gu Changbo looked at the two girls carefully, and spoke a few words to them in a gentle tone.

   Xin You reminded me first, Duan Yunling didn't know what Mrs. Gu Changbo meant. Mrs. Gu Changbo asked each question and answered each sentence, never saying a single word, and never even raised her eyelids from the beginning to the end, for fear of leaving a deep impression on the other party.

   Although Duan Yunhua was a bit spoiled, he was not stupid. After realizing what this "coincidence" today meant, his heart beat extremely fast.

   Mrs. Gu Changbo wants to choose a daughter-in-law among her and the third sister!

  She has met the son of Gu Changbo several times, and his appearance is pleasing. As for naughty and lustful? Ever since her mother was divorced, she has experienced the ups and downs in the past six months, and she no longer cares about this.

  Father and mother have been harmonious and loving in the eyes of everyone for many years. What happened? It was just a little trouble, and the father abandoned the mother without hesitation.

   Without the protection of her mother, there is no difference between her pro daughter and the third sister in the eyes of her grandmother and father. Even because the third sister and Kou Qingqing have a good relationship, she is not as good as the third sister!

  Countless nights, Duan Yunhua was tossed and turned because of falling from the clouds to the quagmire. She hated these people living under the same roof, and also hated herself for being powerless.

   Now is the chance.

  If she can become the eldest wife of Guchangbo Mansion, most officials and eunuchs will respect her when they see her. In the future, when King Qing becomes the emperor, Guchangbo Mansion will be the emperor's natal family. It doesn't matter if the husband is flirtatious and lustful, as long as she is the daughter-in-law of Uncle Guchang's mansion, she will have everything in the future.

  She never thought of the days when Kou Qingqing slapped her in the face and had to bear it, and even Duan Yunling, a concubine, dared to ridicule her.

   She must seize this opportunity!

  Duan Yunhua has something to ask for, and his performance is different from Duan Yunling's. He always answers Mrs. Gu Changbo's words, and he can't wait to show all his cleverness to the other party.

   On the way back, Duan Yunhua and Duan Yunling took the same car.

  Duan Yunling sat in a corner, drooping his eyes and saying nothing.

  Duan Yunhua cast his eyes over several times, but finally did not speak.

  In the past, comparing her with Duan Yunling was enough to annoy her, but now she knows it's different, and she can't speak quickly before the matter is settled.

  Reviewing the game many times in his heart, Duan Yunhua settled down.

   Her performance today is much better than that of the wood-like Third Sister, and she will get her wish.

   After Mrs. Guchang went back, she said to Uncle Guchang: "I looked at it coldly. Although Miss Duan San is a concubine, she is quiet and calm, and she is more suitable for someone like Ze'er."

   Gu Changbo actually couldn't remember what Duan Yunhua and Duan Yunling looked like, but he only remembered that they were both good-looking, and it didn't matter which one he chose as his daughter-in-law.

   "Then listen to Madam."

  The old lady received another post from Mrs. Gu Changbo, and she and Duan Yunling were invited.

   Drop a Gadget.
