Chapter 124 Questioning
In the past, Gu Yunyan didn't worry about getting married, but now that things are getting worse, Master Gu has to think about it.

"Girl Yan likes Mrs. Xiao. Can Madam say something nice in front of him? Madam Zhen Guohou is not a handkerchief handed by Madam. If it is possible, as long as Madam Zhen Guohou is talked about, things will be much easier. "Master Gu looked at Ji Jiaqian, this is the time to show her role.

In order to help Ji Jiaqian cover up the secret, he married the youngest daughter of the Ji family.It was also because of Gu Yunyan's marriage that he married the Marquis of An Guo, so as to raise his daughter's worth.

Ji Jiaqian didn't respond directly, but said in a difficult way: "Even the emperor can't make decisions about Mrs. Xiao Taifu's marriage. Even if Mrs. Zhen Guohou nods, Mr. Taifu refuses to agree. Isn't it a joke?"

"Who dares to laugh at the Gu family's daughter?" Master Gu frowned, and Ji Jiaqian pushed her back. Could it be that she regretted it?
"Except Madam, I'm afraid no one can accomplish this matter."

Being stared at by Master Gu, Ji Jiaqian sighed and said, "I can only do my best, and I dare not promise Master. If it doesn't work, what should I do?"

If you say something, you can't take it back.At that time, it will be Gu Yunyan who will lose face, but not hers.

Say it straight to the point, so that Master Gu won't take his anger out on him in the future.

Master Gu thinks that Gu Yunyan is not bad no matter her appearance, figure, or talent.It is impossible for any man to be indifferent when seeing her, let alone Xiao Xilin?
"Madam, just open your mouth, no matter what the result is, I will bear it with all my strength."

With his assurance, Ji Jiaqian was completely relieved.She is not optimistic about Gu Yunyan, and only if Master Gu likes this daughter, he will think that everything about her is exquisite and everything is wrong.

From her point of view, Gu Yunyan doesn't know how to be tactful, but also has a lot of thoughts, she keeps using tricks in private, she is pretentious, she doesn't have enough ability to control her, and she even makes people feel fishy without knowing it.

Ji Jiaqian thought about it, and instead of asking Mrs. Zhen Guohou to come to Gu's mansion, she went to Zhen Guohou's mansion in person.

Hearing that Ji Jiaqian had come, Madam Zhen Guohou was quite surprised.This handkerchief seldom goes out of the house, and it is rare to come to the door.

She greeted her with a smile, and jokingly said, "What kind of wind is blowing, so that Mrs. Gu came to the door in person?"

Ji Jiaqian was very familiar with Mrs. Zhen Guohou, she glanced at her with a coquettish smile, and they sat down in the garden hand in hand.

The servant girl left after serving tea, Madam Zhen Guohou was not in a hurry, she took a sip of tea slowly, waiting for Ji Jiaqian to speak.

It was said that it was a handkerchief, and the two hadn't been in touch for several years.Since Mrs. Zhen Guohou's wife got married, the two only communicated occasionally, and it was just a superficial greeting, and they were no longer as close as they were when they were in the boudoir.

When you are married, you are a member of your husband's family, and you must put your husband's family first in everything.

When Mrs. Zhen Guohou goes out, that is the face of Zhen Guohou. Naturally, she pays special attention to every move, and she will not easily associate with other wives and bring unnecessary troubles to Zhen Guohou.

If it wasn't for her nephew's marriage, Mrs. Zhen Guohou might not have condescended to go to the Gu mansion to find Ji Jiaqian.

But besides the Gu family, she also ran to several houses, so it's not like she has a preference for the Gu family.

Ji Jiaqian pondered for a moment, feeling a little hard to say, so she asked vaguely: "Sister, is Taifu Xiao's marriage settled?"

The last time Mrs. Zhen Guohou called all the ladies who could be seen in Beijing to the Zhuangzi, saying that it was for viewing flowers, but it was just to say goodbye to Xiao Xilin. Anyway, let the grand master look at which one is pleasing to the eye, she Without further ado, he came to propose marriage.

It was a lively affair, and finally Xiao Xilin politely invited three girls to board the boat, two of whom were surnamed Gu.

Madam Zhen Guohou took a look at her and knew that Ji Jiaqian's visit was obviously aimed at Xiao Xilin.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said: "Sister also knows that my nephew has big ideas, and even the emperor can't do anything about his marriage. Which girl does he have a crush on?" , you will tell me, where is it that I can control?"

Ji Jiaqian smiled slightly: "Teacher Xiao treats his sister as filial as his own mother, so he will take care of her no matter what."

Hearing that Mrs. Zhen Guohou didn't want to talk deeply, she could only bite the bullet and said: "This time I didn't come here for Rou'er. My sister and I have a very close relationship, so it's better to get straight to the point. The two girls of the Gu family are also at the age of kissing now. It's rare for Master Xiao to be a guest of Gu's residence, this is the first time since Qing Dynasty, so I dared to come to my sister's place to find out what's going on."

What Madam Zhen Guohou likes the most is Ji Jiaqian's straightforwardness.Be tactful when it's time to be tactful, and don't be sloppy at all when it's time to confess.

I'm afraid it's not what she meant, but Master Gu asked Ji Jiaqian to explore the way.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou smiled and said: "I have met the two girls of the Gu family. The second girl is very beautiful, and I heard that she is also good at learning. The third girl has a gentle temperament and is a vivid and delicate beauty. No matter who marries them, They are all very lucky.”

"According to elder sister's words, since I married into the Gu family, I am the mother of the two sisters, and I have to take care of the marriage." Ji Jiaqian can't say it too straightforwardly, Gu Yunyan's feelings for Xiao Xilin are already obvious enough, But Master Tai Tu didn't say anything, presumably the marriage could not be negotiated.

This trip was just to give Master Gu an explanation.

"Sanyatou is smart, sensible and obedient, and she is very fond of the old lady. When I go back to the hot spring village to recuperate, I also specially asked me to ask Sanyato to accompany me. The old lady once mentioned to me that Sanyato will do it. The daughter-in-law of any family is excellent."

Mrs. Zhen Guohou raised her eyebrows. This means that the old lady has taken a fancy to Gu Yunxiao. Is she planning to let her marry into An Guohou's mansion?

Ji Keran is the only man of the right age in An Guohou's Mansion.

Regardless of their age or background, there is a lot of difference between the two of them. If Ji Keran hadn't taken a fancy to Gu Yunyan, I am afraid that the old lady would not have let go.

Ji Jiaqian said it, presumably An Guohou did not object.

Thinking of Xiao Xilin's look at Gu Yunxiao, Mrs. Zhen Guohou felt a little worried.It's rare that my nephew is different from a girl's family. Before he got married, he was robbed to be a daughter-in-law by another family. What should we do in the future?
Besides, Ji Keran is twice as old as Gu Yunxiao, so he can be regarded as an old cow eating young grass, how can his talent and demeanor compare to his nephew?
Mrs. Zhen Guohou secretly thought that she must quickly tell Xiao Xilin the news quietly. Don't be too late, but she will regret it in the future: "The old lady has a good eye, and I look at the third girl too. Excellent, I wish I could snatch her and become my daughter."

Ji Jiaqian was startled, she didn't expect Mrs. Zhen Guohou to look at Gu Yunxiao so highly, she couldn't help laughing and said: "If the third girl knows that the elders like her so much, she will be happy."

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Ji Jiaqian got up and said goodbye.Mrs. Zhen Guohou didn't mention Gu Yunyan much from the beginning to the end, obviously she didn't have a good impression of the eldest daughter of the Gu family.

That's right, the rumors in Beijing were raging, and the Lin family alone contributed a lot.

Although the Lin family is not rich and powerful, nor does it hold great power, but because of the noble family and the straightforward temperament of several generations, they can speak well among the ministers of the court.

Now being bullied to the top, anyone who is not blind will stand by the Lin family.

There are also people who support Gu Yunyan, but they think she is very innocent.After all, these were all done by Lin Yushi to please his sweetheart, how could the second girl of the Gu family be blamed?
But where there is no wind, there is no wave, if Gu Yunyan hadn't given Lin Yushi hope, and her attitude was ambiguous, how could she create rumors and slander others in Beijing for her?
Whether it is right or wrong, no one can say for sure, but most of the impressions of Gu Yunyan have become bad.

Especially in recent years, Gu Yunyan has been procrastinating not to get married, so many daughters in Beijing who are waiting to be married can only be wasted. Those who have daughters hate the second girl of the Gu family.Now that something happened, how could he not slander her?
Those who admired Gu Yunyan defended her, while those who hated Gu Yunyan ridiculed her one after another.

Master Gu was pacing back and forth in the study, and he was quite troubled by this matter. He didn't expect it to become such a big disturbance. No matter how innocent Gu Yunyan was implicated, it would be very difficult for him to get out of it now.

Gu Xuanyi was also very worried, this little sister was brought up in his palm, how could she endure such grievances.I didn't see that I locked myself in the yard for the past few days. I heard that I was still sick. I invited a few doctors to come over to have a look. It's not that I'm sick, but just depressed.

It is said that a heart disease needs a heart medicine doctor, if this continues, will Gu Yunyan die of depression because of this?

Regarding Gu Yunyan's marriage, Mr. Gu thought he had grasped the last straw. Hearing that Ji Jiaqian had returned home, he hurriedly invited her to the study: "Ma'am, what does Mrs. Zhen Guohou say?"

Ji Jiaqian frowned slightly in annoyance, she didn't even drink her saliva when she returned home, and was called by Master Gu to ask, what do you think you are?
Gu Xuanyi was sensible, poured tea for Ji Jiaqian himself, asked her to sit down first, and said to Mr. Gu: "Father, just after mother came back, I have to take a breath first. It should be my sister's good thing, I can't run away, why worry ?”

Only then did Master Gu see Ji Jiaqian's displeasure, and quickly eased his tone. He didn't want to offend An Guohou's most beloved daughter: "I was anxious for my husband, so I'm here to apologize to my wife."

Ji Jiaqian was just a little unhappy, she didn't mean to embarrass the two of them, she looked at Master Gu and sighed quietly: "What did the master say, I just came back in a hurry, and I was a little tired from being bumped in the carriage."

She glanced at Gu Xuanyi, and saw that Mr. Gu had no intention of sending him out. He obviously wanted the son to stay here and listen, so she didn't hide it: "Mrs. Judging from her tone, the Tai Tuo seems to have a girl in his fancy, and I'm afraid he will propose marriage soon."
