Early the next morning, Yang Xue came out of the palace after arranging things in the palace early.
At this time, in the Gu family compound, Gu Qiqi and his family were eating around the table. Gu Qiqi planned to go to his restaurant after dinner today.
She has owned the restaurant for so long and she has never seen it before.
Moreover, they all say that the restaurants under the emperor's feet are extraordinary, and Gu Qiqi also wants to know how extraordinary this one is.
But just as she was going out, a carriage stopped in front of her house.
Then I saw a familiar figure getting out of the carriage.
"Sister Xue'er!" Fang Yu recognized her at first sight.
"Xiaoyu, Qiqi." Yang Xue raised the corner of her mouth to greet them both.
"Empress." Gu Qiqi bowed to Yang Xue and saluted.
"Empress?" Fang Yu turned to look at Gu Qiqi with a puzzled look.
Then Gu Qiqi explained: "The 12th of next month is the ceremony for conferring the queen, and the queen is Sister Xue'er."
"Why don't I know anything about what happened? My sixth brother didn't mention it to us yesterday. His speed must have been too fast. No, isn't my sixth brother just one day younger than me? After all,
He is only sixteen now, so he is getting married now?"
"When did he meet Sister Xue'er? We only met a few times in Nanyang City before, and we were there every time. More importantly, at that time, Sister Xue'er..."
As Fang Yu spoke, she knew that there were some things she shouldn't say, so she quickly stopped and continued to look at Yang Xue in shock.
Yang Xue smiled and said: "There are many people here. Let's go in and talk in detail slowly."
Fang Yu nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, let's go in first and then talk. Today's news is so shocking. I want to listen to your stories."
Then Gu Qiqi and Fang Yu led Yang Xue into the yard.
As for going to the restaurant, we can only postpone it.
When we arrived in the courtyard, the servants immediately lit the stove in the living room.
The three of them started chatting around the stove.
"Sister Xue'er, tell me quickly what's going on between you and our sixth brother?"
Then Yang Xue explained her love story with Nangong Yi.
After listening to Yang Xue's words, Fang Yu said in shock: "So you and your sixth brother are destined to be together forever."
"It's not a life-long friendship. When he wrote to me, we could only say that we had a temporary affection for each other," Yang Xue said with a smile.
Fang Yu: "Then let's put it this way, this is a relationship that lasts for a long time. The sixth brother can do it. He found a queen for himself without saying a word."
"It's actually the best for Sister Xue'er to take the queen's position. Now that she has a good relationship with Sixth Brother, it will be even more perfect." Gu Qiqi is also quite optimistic about Nangong Yi's choice, and of course she also hopes that they will
Can be happy.
Yang Xue is actually a good character and has a good temperament.
"It's just that the sixth brother is only 16 now. Is it okay to get married too early?" Fang Yu suddenly became worried about the sixth brother's health.
Gu Qiqi smiled when he heard this, then nodded Fang Yu's forehead and said: "The difference in age is only one year, but it does not affect the queen. Having a child two years later will not affect it. The most important thing is
Once the selection of the queen is finalized, all those in the court will not be eyeing this position."
After listening to Gu Qiqi's words, Fang Yu nodded: "It makes sense. But Qiqi, by the way, you are now 16 and old enough to get married. When are you and the third brother going to get married?"
Gu Qiqi: "We are talking about the sixth brother, why does it involve me? Do we have to get married when we reach the age where we can get married? Can't we wait for another two years?"
"You can't tell a man's heart in a day or two. You have to look longer and observe more. Don't be so hasty to marry yourself off. If things go wrong by then, we women will still suffer."
Fang Yu: "You are right, you are all right. When it comes to truth, you always do one thing. No one has ever told you otherwise. But if you don't catch a good man, don't become someone else's."
Gu Qiqi smiled: "A man who falls in love with someone else cannot be called a good man, so if he becomes someone else's man, I won't feel it is a pity. On the contrary, I'm glad that he didn't fall in love with someone else after we got married.
"
"Anyway, I have a principle. I will not consider getting married after I am 18 years old. This is responsible for myself. Girls should not get married and have children too early. The best age is not earlier than 18. If I can withstand criticism, 20 years old
It would be best to have children later.”
Yang Xue: "Why, but in Dayong, women have basically married when they were 15 or 16 years old, and men became fathers when they were 16 or 17 years old. Only some with better conditions will marry after reaching the prescribed age.
, get married, and have children. This has always been the case, what’s wrong with it?”
Gu Qiqi looked at the two silly girls who didn't understand, and then patiently explained: "As a female doctor, I naturally understand women. So the advice I give is that it is best to have a couple after the age of 18.
, it is not recommended to have a baby too early.”
The last two sentences Gu Qiqi said were relatively straightforward. When the two silly girls heard this, their faces turned red to the roots of their ears.
Seeing this, Gu Qiqi continued: "Don't be embarrassed, we are all women. We are responsible for ourselves. You are my friends and sisters. Naturally, I also hope that you will be in good health. Especially when you get older, you will know
What’s the difference?”
At that time, a girl's body is in the critical period of puberty and development. It is her responsibility to protect herself. Otherwise, if the man is comfortable, the woman will be uncomfortable in the future.
"Okay, okay, let's change the topic. If we continue to talk, the servants will laugh at us." Fang Yu saw that Yang Xue was blushing to the top of her ears, so she quickly suggested changing the topic.
Then he thought for a while and then said: "By the way, Sister Xue'er has entered the palace now, what about Master Yang and the others? Will they also stay in Yongdu by then?"
Yang Xue nodded and replied: "Well, my father and eldest brother will arrange the things over there and then the whole family will go to Beijing. It will happen to be the scientific examination next year, and eldest brother will also save one person to go to Beijing."
Originally, the imperial examination was held this year, but because Nangong Yi had just ascended the throne years ago, things in the palace were in a mess and needed time to be dealt with, and the disasters in the north and south were not over yet, so the imperial examination was postponed.
Year.
We should take advantage of this period to catch all these messy people, so that the newcomers who will pass the scientific examination next year can be arranged one by one.
He is still very optimistic about Yang Xue's eldest brother, Nangong Yi.
If he can live up to expectations and enter the palace examination, he will also be a good helper to Nangong Yi in the future.
Furthermore, with him here, Yang Xue's position as the master of the harem can be stable.
No matter who she marries, the strength of her mother's family is a woman's confidence.
The three sisters then chatted all morning around the stove. At noon, Yang Xue stayed in the Gu family compound for lunch before returning to the palace.
In the afternoon, Gu Qiqi had time to walk to the restaurant.
Looking at the restaurant in Yongdu, Gu Qiqi was standing in the middle of the restaurant, raising his head and feeling amazed in his heart.
