Qin Xin, who was very curious, scratched his head and head anxiously. As soon as the matchmaker left, he couldn't wait to come out.

She asked loudly: "Mom, who proposed marriage to me?"

Mrs. Cao nodded Qin Xin's forehead with hatred, "Is there a girl's family like yours? In other girls' families, whenever they hear the word "marriage", they will walk away in shame. It's better for you to hurry up yourself. Come up and ask!”

Qin Xin rubbed her forehead and said, "Mom, this is a lifelong event for me. Don't I have to figure it out?"

"Who is it? Who is here to propose marriage?"

Mrs. Cao glanced at her daughter's face and said slowly: "It's the Changping Hou family."

Qin Xin's face turned red.

His mouth was faster than his brain, and he said, "He moves very quickly."

Mrs. Cao raised her eyebrows when she heard something was wrong, "What? Have you seen it? Did you learn from each other privately?"

Qin Xin stamped her foot suddenly, "Mom, what are you talking nonsense about?"

"There is no personal relationship!"

"It's just that two days ago, when I came out of the Crown Princess's Palace, I happened to see him going in, and I accidentally took a look at him."

Mrs. Cao thought to herself, yes, her daughter did go to the East Palace the day before yesterday.

She couldn't help but think again, could this have been specially arranged by the Crown Princess?

Then he thought, it didn't matter if the Crown Princess arranged it. The Gu family came to propose marriage, so the Crown Princess would definitely agree to the marriage.

Looking at her daughter's blushing face, Mrs. Cao had never seen her daughter look shy before, so there was something she didn't understand. The two of them knew each other.

She deliberately teased her daughter and said deliberately: "The Gu family's foundation is still a little shallow after all. Besides..."

Before she finished speaking, Qin became anxious, "What's so basic? The prince's brother-in-law is here -"

Ms. Cao seized on the flaw in Qin Xin's words, "Prince's brother-in-law? I mean, Xin'er, you are too much!"

Qin Xin was stunned for a moment, then blushed and stamped her foot, "Mom, I usually call you the princess sister and the prince brother-in-law. Where did you think you were going!"

"Forget it, I won't tell you anymore." He picked up the skirt and ran back.

Mrs. Cao looked at Qin Xin's back, smiled and couldn't help but sigh, "There is no way for a female student to stay."

Within a few days, Chen received a reply, and the Ningguo Duke agreed to the marriage.

Chen first sent someone to the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing to deliver news to Saburo.

Saburo was so happy that he turned several hollow somersaults.

On Chen's side, he wrote three books and six etiquettes, and started walking to Duke Ning's mansion in the same manner.

Not long after, it was time to test out the rankings.

Before dawn, Mrs. Chen sent her servant to wait outside the Rites Yamen to post the list.

The boy is Gu Qing's schoolboy, and he is literate.

When I arrived at the entrance of the ceremony department, I saw that there were already many people waiting, most of them were servants from various families.

After waiting for a long time, the officials came out and lazily posted a red list.

Let’s start with the first name.

Huiyuan: Su Chen

Next came the list of tributes. The boy stretched his neck and widened his eyes, fearing that he might have missed it.

When he saw the third row, the boy finally saw Gu Qing, a native of Ping'an City from Donghai County.

The boy turned around and ran out. He didn't care about one of his shoes being squeezed off, and ran all the way home.

Chen's Gu Zhang and Gu Qing were both waiting in the lobby. Seeing the boy running in out of breath, Gu Zhang asked anxiously: "How is it? Are you on the list?"

The boy was so out of breath that he couldn't speak. Mrs. Chen said quickly, "Don't be anxious. The result is certain anyway. You can talk again after you breathe well."
