Reborn as the General's Wife

Chapter 355
"Things are like this, what can we do? You and I can't predict the future. Who knew that Zhao Lin of yours was so unbearable. Even if he was unbearable, he was found by someone. Even if he was found, he was so impulsive and spineless. , indirectly implicated us, even your grandfather. If that person hadn't been executed by Ling Chi, I would definitely make his life worse than death." Concubine De was so angry that she thumped the bed hard, coldness spread in her eyes.

"Mother Concubine, what should I do now?" Gu Qingcheng dared not go out these few days, and was annoyed by these things for a long time. She faintly felt that someone deliberately planned the situation behind, but she couldn't catch any of them. The clues, the feeling of powerlessness is driving me crazy.

Concubine De's eyes froze. Thinking of what the wives outside the palace had guessed about the second princess, she became even more upset. Those gossiping women dared to arrange her daughter in such a way, and even said that the second princess was Kefu's life. Who is unlucky to be a son-in-law? The second son-in-law of the Zhou family was exiled by the family. The second son-in-law, Zhao Lin, was decapitated in a different place. Obviously, the one who got involved with the second princess and the son-in-law would not end well.Hearing these words, Concubine De was about to vomit blood, the sins those two people committed themselves, why should they impose those results on their own daughters.

"Qingcheng, it's the wind and the waves right now, we can't do anything else, and don't mention the matter of the son-in-law. After a while, after the wind has passed, I beg your father, let him give you a marriage directly. Now, for the sake of your reputation, it is not suitable to recruit a son-in-law, choose a good family background, marry by imperial decree, be a regular wife, with your ability and means, and your mother, concubine, me and your grandfather as backers, no one can take you What should I do!" Ke Fuzhi said that Concubine De hadn't told Gu Qingcheng yet, such vicious words would do a lot of damage to her daughter's family's reputation, and it wouldn't help if she knew about it, it's better to calm down and finish things early.

Gu Qingcheng thought for a while, and at present he could only do so, and agreed with Concubine De.

After putting down the last stroke, the ink was still not dry, Gu Qingxin looked at her masterpiece just now, and nodded with satisfaction.The delicate and beautiful woman painted on it makes people unable to turn their eyes away.

The one painted on it was none other than Gu Qingcheng.Among the thousands of flowers, among the colorful flowers, a woman is gorgeously dressed, with her bare hands raised lightly, holding a flower and sniffing gently at the tip of her nose, her expression is intoxicated, her charming face is more beautiful than flowers.

"Come here, just deliver this painting to that Huakui girl Ruyu."

"Yes."

The painting was taken away, Gu Qingxin left the surrounding area and sat down to drink tea.

I'm too lazy to make trouble this time, it's too difficult to wait for Gu Qingcheng to get in automatically, if the mountain is not mine, I'll go to the mountain, it's okay to start from the other side.It is said that the young master Sun of the Gong family lived among thousands of flowers without any leaves touching his body. Among them, the well-known courteous girl Ruyu is his latest new love. When Ruyu finds this portrait, he will definitely let young master Gong see it. It's not hiding it but letting this master see it. The reason for this is beyond words.

Wanhualou, the most famous recently, is famous for selling the golden cave known as Ruyu, the most charming oiran girl in history. At this moment, it welcomes the gold master who comes to the oiran almost every day—the grandson of Chengguo Gong. Gong Xi, the famous vagabond, has countless confidante, and is famous for liking the new and disliking the old, but now Ruyu from Wanhualou is his new favorite.

"Ruyu, that master has come to reserve the venue again tonight, you, you are really lucky!"

Ru Yu was walking outside the door, when she heard her companion's envious voice, her body trembled, she was afraid.The old mother regarded her as a cash cow, and that master was the God of Wealth, and she was just a pawn, who knew her fear, her helplessness, and her bitterness.Others only saw her scenery, but they didn't know this scenery. If she had a choice, she might as well die.

That night, this master unexpectedly did not stay in Wanhualou, but ran out excitedly with a portrait, all of which were smiling.

The person did not stay overnight, and the money for the stay was indeed given a lot, and the old mother laughed so hard that she couldn't close her eyes.

In Ruyu's boudoir, she quietly opened a corner of the window, staring at Gong Xi's figure rushing away with one eye, clutching her chest to rejoice that she escaped unharmed tonight, and thinking of the picture that appeared out of nowhere. There is a trace of guilt in the portrait: Although I don't know who you are, don't blame me!Guilt is only for a moment, life is too bitter, the mask is worn for a long time, how much kindness can be retained, people do not punish heaven and earth for themselves.

Cheng Guogong was a very important minister when the first emperor was alive, so he was ranked as a duke. Although he was old, his reputation was still there.

It's a pity that the heir of Cheng Guogong is weak. In his grandson's generation, there is only one seedling left here, Gong Xi, so he is spoiled and spoiled, for fear that he will fall and touch him. If things go on like this, this Gong Xi seemed to be pampered and spoiled, and became a fearless overlord, and even became a famous flirtatious playboy.

Cheng Guogong hates iron but not steel, but there are so many people in the family who seem to be pampered. After all, they are still only seedlings. There are some things that can only be turned a blind eye.

On this day, the only grandson came over with a portrait, saying that he fell in love with the woman above at first sight, and that she would not marry unless she was Qing. Not passed on to the next generation.

This made the members of the Gong family anxious. Finally, the rascal was about to take care of him. The old lady waited until the flowers were all withered, so naturally she agreed in every possible way at this time.No, the elderly Cheng Guogong has been found here.

Frightened by Gong Xi and the female family members who cried, made trouble and hanged themselves, Cheng Guogong had no choice but to compromise, thinking that no matter who it is, with his old bones, no matter which family's daughter should be able to ask for it. Marriage is the only thing.

But when the whole family got together to see the people in the portrait clearly, Cheng Guogong was stunned for a while, and Cheng Guogong's wife, daughter-in-law and other female relatives were also dumbfounded, and then they turned black The same stunned.

Gong Xi has been a prodigal since she was a child. Everyone in her family knows about her promiscuity. She can be domineering at ordinary times, but she can't do it when she meets noble people.In order to avoid Gong Xi getting into trouble, all members of Cheng Guogong's family agreed that they would never take Gong Xi to a banquet with someone who could not be offended, such as the one held in the palace, because they were afraid that this daring child would be offended by someone who could not be offended. He was so seductive that Gong Xi didn't even recognize who was in the portrait.

Just because Gong Xi couldn't recognize her didn't mean others couldn't recognize her.Everyone could clearly see that the person in the portrait was none other than Gu Qingcheng, the only unmarried second princess in the dynasty, the daughter of Concubine De.

After knowing that the woman in the portrait is the second princess, Gong Xi was not frightened and insisted on her.

Unable to hold back the only single seedling, Cheng Guogong's family began to gather together to discuss countermeasures.

It might be a bit difficult to change Princess Gao Pan before, but for this second princess, the matter of the previous two unmarried sons-in-law has caused a lot of trouble in the city, just like a noble porcelain, it has already had flaws and stains, and its reputation is not good, so now no one wants to do it. Now that she has become her consort, the big guys are still discussing in private whether they are really going to become an old lady.Now, if their family took the initiative to ask for marriage when no one else was in their prime, there should be, there should be a chance of winning.

If the grandson was not so stubborn, the old lady still disapproved of this matter.After all, the two consorts are like that. Although they are not married, all the bad luck will only happen after they become the intended consort.

After discussing the countermeasures, Cheng Guogong couldn't let go of his old face. In the end, Mrs. Cheng Guogong went to meet the second princess's biological mother, Empress Defei, in person, and this was the expression of their intention.

After waiting for three days without getting an accurate response, Gong Xi at home didn't know where he learned it from, and went on a hunger strike. The old Duke had to face the emperor himself and explain his purpose to the emperor.

The emperor has always had a little bit of respect for the old man, and the matter of Gu Qingcheng has already bored him to the core. If he is out of sight and out of mind, he will be sent out of the palace earlier and the matter will be settled sooner, so as to save him from any troubles. , so he readily agreed.

For this, he also received repeated thanks from Cheng Guogong.

The emperor was very happy, this Cheng Guogong, although he doesn't care about political affairs now, but when his father was still there, he listened to his father's praise of him, and he has long respected him. Now his only grandson The emperor felt that it was Gu Qingcheng's blessing to marry his incompetent and notorious second princess.

After all, it's not that he doesn't know that no one is willing to let his child be a son-in-law now, even if he is of high status.Now that this is the case, now that she has a distinguished status, she will be the wife of the Duke after hereditary inheritance. This treatment is no different from that of a princess.

After all, he was still his own flesh and blood, and when his bottom line was not offended, the emperor still had a kind father or two for other children. In this matter, Gu Qingcheng's situation was also taken into consideration.

Since the emperor agreed, the action was naturally fast. In order to avoid Cheng Guogong's regret, he simply issued a marriage decree, and caught up with Cheng Guogong after he stepped into the house, turning this matter into a final decision.
