Chapter 447: Wei Qing Goes to Court
Yesterday, Gu Huainian came to confess his feelings to Fang Miao and finished what he had not finished saying that day.
Fang Miao was happy the whole night and could laugh out loud just thinking about it.
She felt like she was dreaming, and it felt unreal.
That's the high and mighty Lord Gu. Could he really fall in love with a mere coroner like her?
Even if she likes him, the difference in their social status is there. Can she marry Lord Gu?
What Fang Miao didn't expect was that the next day, the Gu family came to propose marriage.
Fang Miao hurriedly welcomed Tang Li and Nanny Zhao in.
Seeing such a big scene, people nearby gathered around and watched curiously.
"What's going on with the Fang family? Why is it so lively?"
"Looking at this posture, why does it look like he is here to propose marriage?"
"Propose marriage? Someone is proposing marriage to Fang Miao? How is this possible?"
In their opinion, Fang Miao is the type who will never get married.
Who would dare to marry such an unlucky coroner?
"Yes, judging by their pomp and ceremony, they are definitely not an ordinary family."
"I'll go ask." Some people couldn't contain their curiosity and ran to ask.
When I asked the question, my jaw almost dropped in surprise.
"You really are here to propose marriage."
"He's from the General's Mansion."
"General's Mansion? The servants of the General's Mansion?"
They thought Fang Miao could only marry a servant, but it was a bit strange that a servant had such a large betrothal gift.
Are all the servants in the general's mansion so generous?
"He is General Gu's eldest son, Lord Gu, the Minister of Justice, Gu Huainian." the man said.
"What? Gu Huainian?!!!"
"Oh my God, Master Gu actually proposed to Fang Miao, did I hear it right?"
"Or did you hear wrongly?"
Someone else went up to ask, and it was indeed the eldest son of the Gu family!
They were shocked and felt very jealous.
They have always been looking for a sense of superiority from Fang Miao. Their daughters married capable young men or wealthy merchants, but Fang Miao couldn't even get married.
Fang Miao, who had always been despised and disdained by them, was actually favored by such a big shot.
Why is Fang Miao so good?
Their daughter is much stronger than Fang Miao, why can't she meet such a good family?
However, no matter how jealous they are, this is an established reality and cannot be changed.
The Fang family accepted the betrothal gift from the Gu family.
After the two families completed the betrothal process, Tangli and Madam Zhao left.
Fang's mother looked at the room full of betrothal gifts and felt like she was dreaming.
Before, when Miaomiao said that she liked the Dali Temple Minister, she thought her daughter was dreaming.
She never thought that her daughter's dream would come true.
Why doesn't she want her daughter to marry a man she likes and is reliable?
Why doesn't she want her daughter to marry into a loving and caring family?
But, is there such a good thing in this world?
That's why she took a fancy to this young man Li Cong.
It's so hard to find a good family, especially since my daughter is a coroner. It would be nice to have someone who doesn't despise her...
She was afraid that if she missed this opportunity, she would lose this store.
Now that my daughter has a better employer, it is naturally a good thing.
However, she was also a little worried, as the gap in family background was too big...
"Miao Miao, was that Miss Gu?" asked Fang's mother.
Fang Miao nodded: "Yes, she is Master Gu's sister."
"Miss Gu seems very kind." Fang's mother said.
"Tang Li is a very good person. She doesn't look down on the coroner. She even says that the coroner is very capable. She doesn't look down on me either. She is different from everyone else. She is a very thoughtful person." Fang Miao said.
When Fang Miao talked about Tang Li, her words of praise were overflowing, showing how much she liked her.
My sister-in-law is so sensible. I think my daughter will not have a hard life after marrying into the Gu family because of the huge difference in their social status.
"Mom, the Gu family is different, don't worry." Fang Miao said, "My daughter is marrying the person she loves, and she got what she wanted. You should be happy."
"Yes, I'm happy." She was happy, but it felt unreal and she was worried about this and that.
"Everyone has their own destiny. Whether I will be happy in the future depends on my fate." Fang Miao said.
Yes, there is no point in worrying so much.
I just hope that my daughter can marry into the Gu family smoothly, live in harmony with her husband, and win the favor of her in-laws.
In the evening, the door of the Fang family was knocked open.
Fang Miao ran to open the door. When she saw the tall figure outside, her eyes lit up and her face turned red.
…
After Fang Miao's marriage to her elder brother was settled, Tang Li finally felt relieved.
Wei Qing has been very busy these days and always comes back very late.
The man didn't come back, and Tangli couldn't sleep, so she waited in the house.
Hearing the footsteps outside, Tang Li turned around and saw the door opened. A tall man came in, all wet.
Wei Qing was afraid of disturbing Tang Li, so he took a bath and changed his clothes in the side yard before coming in.
But he didn't expect that his wife was still awake.
There were candles lit in the room, and in the dim candlelight, her daughter-in-law was more beautiful than a fairy.
When he saw his wife, all his fatigue disappeared.
Wei Qing walked over, picked her up, sat down on the bed, and let her sit on his lap.
Wei Qing asked distressedly: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Tangli leaned in his arms: "I can't sleep."
Tangli raised her head slightly and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "I miss you."
Wei Qing's Adam's apple moved, and his eyes became deeper. If he said such words to the person dear to his heart and didn't do something, he would not be a man.
Wei Qing kissed her directly.
The moon is at its zenith, the night is just right and still very long.
The next day.
At daybreak, Wei Qing quietly got up.
His wife was curled up in the quilt, sleeping soundly.
Wei Qing placed a kiss on her forehead and turned away.
After Wei Qing washed up and had a simple breakfast, he rode his horse to attend the morning court.
In front of the Taihe Gate, Wei Qing dismounted, handed the horse to the eunuch, and walked towards the Taihe Hall.
"Minister Wu." A voice sounded.
Wei Qing turned to look at the person who called him.
The other person was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had a graceful demeanor, an elegant look, and a faint smile on his face.
"Prince Rui." Wei Qing said.
Zhao Shu originally wanted to say a few words to Wei Qing, but he didn't expect the other party to say hello and just walked away.
A cold light flashed in Zhao Shu's eyes.
He hated Minister Wu from the bottom of his heart.
This man married Tang Li and became General Gu's son-in-law...
These were what he wanted.
So, he was actually very jealous of the other party, but he didn't want to admit it. He, the dignified Third Prince, was actually jealous of a mere minister...
A smile quickly appeared on Zhao Shu's face and he walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Along the way, he met many court officials, and they all greeted him with a smile, without any airs at all.
Wei Qing entered the hall and stood in his seat.
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice was a third-rank official. The Great Zhou Dynasty's regulations required all officials of the fifth rank and above to attend court, and court attendance was limited to even-numbered days, as well as the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. Therefore, after Wei Qing took this position, he began attending court.
He was used to attending court.
He stood in his position, his body straight and with his own aura. No one would have thought that he was once a country man.
The ministers arrived one after another, filling the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Standing opposite Wei Qing was Gu Huainian, the Minister of Dali Temple.
The two looked at each other and nodded, which was considered a greeting.
The whole hall suddenly became quiet, the emperor arrived.
