Xu Zhener thought to herself, wasn't the third brother already ruled out? From this point of view, Jiang Zhou has a better chance of winning than the third brother.
"Zhen'er, can you help third brother? How about you organize a flower party and invite your sister Gu to our house, so that third brother can have a chance to be alone with your sister Gu." Xu Yanqing said to Xu Zhener
Expand your smile.
Xu Zhener couldn't bear to refuse.
"I also think Sister Gu and Third Brother are a good match. Besides, Sister Gu's beauty can easily bring disaster. I'm just worried that Mr. Jiang's family background can't protect Sister Gu." Xu Zhener made a decision immediately: "Our house
Aren’t there noontime flowers in the garden? In the name of flower appreciation, I invite Sister Gu to come over and enjoy the flowers, and then Third Brother can seize the opportunity."
"Then you must invite her over! I'm afraid that she will know that she lives in our house and will deliberately avoid coming. I threatened to take her away by force today, but she is not willing to go to Jixiang Building with me for dinner." Xu Yanqing was not confident.
.
Xu Zhener sneered after hearing this: "I wouldn't be happy if it were me. Sister Gu has made it clear to you, how can she be willing to be alone with you again? She is from a daughter's family and is not married yet, so her reputation is very important.
.”
Xu Yanqing smiled bitterly: "That's why I ask you to help me."
Xu Zhener did not hesitate and started writing the invitation under Xu Yanqing's instructions.
The Xu family brothers and sisters were harmonious and happy with each other, but on Gu Xiyan's side, it was just the opposite.
As soon as she entered Xiyuan, Liu Junyan followed her and brought her several dating lists.
One of them is General Mingwei, who is thirty-two years old and is a whole year older than Gu Xiyan. This is all secondary. It is said that General Mingwei has a shady hobby. His first two wives were both raped by Mingwei.
The general was tortured to death.
The other one is Tongzhi Jinyiwei, who is forty years old and a widower. The children in his family are all older than Gu Xiyan. It is said that he is very strong and most girls from other families do not dare to marry.
Liu Junyan kept talking, and when she saw Gu Xiyan sitting quietly without speaking, she smiled slightly: "These are some good families that my mother picked out for her sister after a thousand choices. I just want to say that Mr. Jinyiwei Tongzhi is the right one."
He is a third-grade official, a majestic and powerful figure in the court, and is highly valued by His Majesty. My sister must seize the opportunity. Why don't you tell me which one you want to meet?"
She just wanted to see Gu Xiyan collapse with her own eyes, so she made this trip.
Originally, she had not planned to tell Gu Xiyan about this matter so soon, but now that Gu Xiyan is provoking Xu Yanqing again, there is no reason to blame her for doing it right.
Since Gu Xiyan was restless, she asked her mother to settle Gu Xiyan's marriage as soon as possible.
Gu Xiyan looked at Liu Junyan quietly and said nothing.
Liu Junyan saw Gu Xiyan so calm and thought that Gu Xiyan was pretending to be calm.
"Sister, let me tell you something. My mother worked hard for my sister's marriage and finally found these good families. After all, my sister was rejected by His Highness the King of Qin, and she also has the reputation of being a father-in-law and a mother-in-law. These families
It’s good if you don’t dislike your sister, but she needs to understand her mother’s painstaking efforts.” Liu Junyan said something else, in an extremely mean manner.
Gu Xiyan's lips curved into a sarcastic arc: "Then I would like to thank my sister and aunt for their kindness. Just now I was thinking about what my sister looked like in the past, but no matter how I think about it, I also remember that my sister is not like what she is now.
mean."
Although Liu Junyan looked down on her in the past, he really didn't do anything shameful to her. But now Liu Junyan's mean face can't be concealed even if she applies thick makeup.
Liu Junyan's face changed slightly: "Who are you calling mean?!"
Gu Xiyan didn't want to argue with Liu Junyan, so she only gave her one sentence: "My uncle once told me in front of my grandmother and me that I make the decision on my own marriage, so there is no need to trouble my aunt or my sister about this matter."
This leisurely mind.”
Liu Junyan couldn't believe it and stood up quickly: "Impossible!"
Since ancient times, it was the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, so why could Gu Xiyan's marriage be decided by herself?
It was obvious that her mother was the benefactor who raised Gu Xiyan, so she should be the one who could control Gu Xiyan's marriage.
"If my sister doesn't believe it, you can ask your grandmother. After all, my marriage is not in a hurry. Since my sister thinks that General Mingwei and Commander Tongzhi are good husbands, I might as well get married and enjoy a happy life. Anyway, I am my sister.
But I don't have such a blessing." Gu Xiyan looked at Shen's mother and said, "Mom, see the guests off!"
Mother Shen had long wanted to drive them away, so she immediately went to "ask" Liu Junyan to leave Xiyuan.
Liu Junyan was about to ask what happened, but she hurried to the study in anger.
But she was a little worried about Marquis Wan Qing, so she finally turned around and went to Zaohui Hall, planning to ask the old lady.
The old lady did not expect Liu Junyan to come to her about this matter. She said seriously: "It is indeed your father who said it himself. Sister Xi's marriage is her own decision. Junyan, don't worry about your eldest sister's marriage.
Come on, let your mother calm down and don't make your father angry."
Since the son said that the emperor's favor was so great, the Liu family couldn't decide on this matter.
Although Liu Junyan was mentally prepared, getting such an answer still made her angry.
She hid her turbulent emotions and asked the old lady: "Grandma, does she know what's going on? Why is my father so tolerant to my sister?"
Even for her, her biological daughter, her father never gave her such freedom, right?
"I can't say much about the grandmother next to me, but you have to remember that the people Sister Xi meets are arranged by His Majesty himself." The old lady stopped after clicking.
She believed that Jun Yan was smart and could figure out these things with just a little thought.
Liu Junyan was stunned.
The old lady would have forgotten this matter if she didn't mention it. Xu Yanqing was indeed one of His Majesty's matchmaking targets.
This is strange. It cannot be that Zhou Xing canceled Gu Xiyan's marriage and His Majesty felt guilty for Gu Xiyan, so he wanted to act as a matchmaker for Gu Xiyan.
If not, how can we explain His Majesty's matchmaking for Gu Xiyan?
After leaving Zaohui Hall, Liu Junyan was still unwilling to give in. She planned to go to her father to test his words.
Marquis Wan Qing was not in the study, but had just returned home from the palace.
As soon as he entered the Hou Mansion, he saw Liu Junyan waiting in front of the Chuihua Gate. As soon as she saw him, she greeted him happily: "Why did father come home at this hour?"
"Your Majesty has something important to discuss with my father. You are a little late coming home today. Are you waiting for your father?" Wan Qinghou looked at his beloved daughter lovingly.
Little Gu gave birth to a son and a daughter.
His son Liu Jingyao is 12 years old. He is currently studying at Jianzhang Academy and rarely returns home.
Liu Junyan is his eldest daughter, she is too strong-tempered, like little Gu. How great would it be if she were like him?
"Mom has been worrying about my eldest sister's marriage recently and is looking for a partner for her. My daughter just came here to ask her father's opinion. Is there anything I should pay attention to?" Liu Junyan made insinuating remarks and did not forget to observe Wan Qinghou.
