"Hahahaha... Is there anyone in this world who is more eccentric than me?"
It's really rare that Princess Huyang also has self-awareness.
The servant looked confused. How should he respond?
It’s so difficult!
Hu Yang was very curious about how crazy Gu Yu's mother was.
The servant listed all the strange things that Gu Yu's mother had done over the years.
Gu Yu's family is large, with four brothers and two sisters.
The whole family is mediocre and relies on Gu Yu to make money for their livelihood.
Gu Yu's mother is a weirdo with unique ideas.
She was afraid that Gu Yu would forget his mother after getting married, and she was even more worried that after Gu Yu had a family, he would not spend the money he earned on his family and would not help his brothers.
So, from the moment Gu Yu got married for the first time at the age of eighteen, he started to sabotage it.
Gu Yuniang's method of causing trouble was simple and direct.
Either he would publicly accuse the woman of seducing her family's Gu Yu and scold her for being indecent, or he would go to the woman's house and cry loudly, deliberately looking for trouble.
The method is crude, but effective.
Any family with a bit of temper would not be willing to marry their daughter to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood because his marriage was repeatedly ruined.
But that person was his own mother, and he couldn't beat or scold her.
I decided to just out of sight and out of mind, so I followed Lord Gu to the northwest and stayed there for many years, concentrating on my career.
After returning to the capital from the northwest, he had the capital and a better blind date.
Logically speaking, Gu Yu was already quite old at this time, and his mother should have let him go and let him marry a wife.
No!
Gu Yu's mother used the excuse that the family was large and the expenses were high. Gu Yu's brothers had all married and had children, so their abilities were limited and they all relied on Gu Yu to support the family.
Gu Yu has to continue to shine and work hard for his family.
The matchmaker came to propose marriage to Gu Yu. All of them were girls from good families with similar family background to Gu's.
Gu Yuniang directly drove the matchmaker out, not hesitating to offend her.
All the matchmakers have been offended, so who would be willing to help Gu Yu find a marriage?
Let Gu Yu be single for the rest of his life.
After several big fights, Gu Yu had long given up the idea of getting married.
It is not entirely accurate to say that Gu Yu's mother does not want Gu Yu to get married.
Gu Yuniang personally acted as a matchmaker and introduced several marriage proposals to Gu Yu, but Gu Yu ruthlessly rejected them all.
The marriage proposals that Gu Yu's mother introduced to Gu Yu were either the daughters of her brothers, sisters, or relatives.
In short, she is either her niece or her niece-in-law.
The more capable and promising Gu Yu was, the more determined Gu Yu's mother was to have him marry a girl from her family.
It seemed that if Gu Yu married a girl from her natal family, she would be able to control Gu Yu for the rest of his life.
Because of this matter, the Gu Yu family had several quarrels.
Gu Yu's mother decided to go all out and let several girls from her family live in her home. Whoever was capable of getting married would marry Gu Yu.
What a weird family.
Those girls are really willing to do such things that push the boundaries, and they refuse without any hesitation.
After all, Gu Yu is the most capable among the relatives and the best marriage partner these girls can get.
The Eight Immortals each showed their magical powers, and someone directly drugged Gu Yu.
Fortunately, Gu Yu was experienced and prepared, so he didn't get caught.
When this happened, Gu Yu decided to go all out and drove out all the girls from his relatives' families with a stick.
He even asked the yamen runners for help.
If anyone dared to rely on him, he would ask the yamen runners to cause trouble for that family.
This completely puts an end to the behavior of girls throwing themselves at men.
After such a mess, Gu Yu privately said: "It's my bad luck to have my mother, I accept it. But I can't harm a girl from a good family. Whoever marries me, as long as my mother is alive, there will be no hope of a peaceful life. Rather than harming someone, it's better not to marry. Wait for her to die, and then I can find a random woman to have a child with."
Just because he had a weird mother, Gu Yu didn't even take a concubine.
Whenever there is a woman around him, his mother will come out and make a scene.
He is annoying!
No maids are needed to serve them, only servants.
Filial piety is sometimes really a heavy mountain to bear.
But Gu Yu was determined to pursue a career in politics and could not bear the reputation of being unfilial.
Now Gu Yu lives in the yamen every day and is too impatient to go home.
After listening to the servant's story, Princess Huyang laughed heartily, looking extremely happy.
"Hey, this woman is three times more powerful than me when it comes to harming her own son. I want to meet this woman."
The servants had mixed feelings.
Princess Huyang's preferences are sometimes hard to describe.
"What does your Majesty think of Magistrate Gu? Would you like to see him?"
"You said he was still staying at the county government office during the New Year's holiday?"
"Exactly."
Hu Yang was delighted when she heard this. "Let's pick up Minmin tomorrow and go to Xinmin County. This Gu Yu is really a good man. Just because he is valued by Gu Jiu, I am willing to marry Minmin to him. As for his mother, others can't deal with her, so can I deal with her too? If she dares to show any displeasure to Minmin, I will make her unhappy for the rest of her life."
People of Gu Yuniang's level are nothing but trash in front of Hu Yang, this big weirdo.
The next morning, Huyang picked up Chen Min and went to Xinmin County.
Chen Min looked uninterested and had no expectations at all.
Hu Yang couldn't stand her behavior. "Who are you showing this to? You are my daughter, are you afraid that you won't be able to get married?"
Chen Min opened her mouth and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "It doesn't matter whether I get married or not."
"Are you blaming me for being a burden to you?" Hu Yang looked unhappy.
Chen Min smiled bitterly, "No one likes me, why should mother make herself unhappy?"
"Bullshit! How do you know the other person doesn't like you without even looking at him?"
The mother and daughter argued for a few sentences, both feeling angry.
When they arrived at Xinmin County, both mother and daughter had no hope of meeting each other again.
It was not until they opened the car door and saw the brand new and bustling Xinmin County that both mother and daughter exclaimed in amazement.
"Of course! This place used to be a wasteland, but look how popular it is now!"
Chen Min also opened his mouth wide, unable to believe it. "Sister-in-law is so amazing. She actually created an entire county out of thin air."
Princess Huyang marveled, "Even refugees can wear gold and silver, it's incredible."
The refugees and the natives of the capital can be distinguished by their temperament.
Therefore, Princess Huyang judged at a glance that the girls walking past her were all from refugee families.
Who could have imagined that the refugees who gathered outside the city, hated by everyone and even wanted to die, would end up like this.
This is clearly a change of circumstances.
All of a sudden, the mood of both mother and daughter improved. They liked everything they saw and felt surprised.
The mother and daughter sat on the second floor of the teahouse, staring at the county government office.
Huyang had already sent people to find out clearly that at this time every day, Gu Yu would go out and patrol around.
Sure enough, Gu Yu was soon seen coming out from the side door.
"Although he's a bit older, he's really good-looking."
Chen Min whispered, "The Gu family all have good looks."
This is true, there is no ugly person in the Gu family. There is no way, the ancestors have good looks, and generations have improved, so they are getting more and more beautiful.
Although Gu Yu's mother was a complete freak who had betrayed her son, her beauty was impeccable. She was a common beauty, but her mindset was too peculiar, almost psychotic.
When Gu Yudie was young, he was attracted by his wife's beauty and was naturally controlled by her.
Over the past few decades, a conditioned reflex has been formed, and Gu Yuniang has the final say in the family.
Princess Huyang liked him more and more. "He seems steady and composed. I want to meet him in person."
Huyang sent someone to invite Gu Yu up.
Then he asked someone to bring a screen and hide Chen Min behind it.
Gu Yu had heard the news earlier and knew that Hu Yang would come today. However, he did not expect that Hu Yang would examine him face to face.
He was invited to a teahouse to meet Princess Huyang.
Huyang was cheerful and asked him to sit down and have some tea.
Gu Yu quickly refused, "I'll just stand and talk."
Princess Huyang didn't force him. "It's not the Lantern Festival yet, and the government office hasn't opened yet. Why is County Magistrate Gu staying at the county office instead of going home during the New Year? If I remember correctly, your home is in the capital."
"Reporting to the princess, my family has too many people to stay at home, and it's noisy. The county office is spacious and quiet, and we need someone to be on duty during the New Year. I volunteered. Let the people below go back and have a good New Year."
"There's so much turmoil at home that County Magistrate Gu has to stay at the county office during the New Year. It seems all is not at peace at home."
Gu Yu smiled helplessly, "It's all debt, I'll pay it back slowly."
He didn't deny it.
Hu Yang raised an eyebrow. "Master Gu, are you planning to pay for it for the rest of your life? I heard that because of family matters, you even delayed your marriage. Don't you feel resentful?"
Gu Yu smiled bitterly, "You can complain, but you can't harm a girl from a good family."
Hu Yang was surprised, then laughed, "I didn't expect County Magistrate Gu to be such a gentle and considerate man. If I take care of your household chores for you, would you be willing to marry?"
Gu Yu was speechless, "Why would the princess help me?"
Hu Yang laughed, "Why else? Of course, it's because I'm attracted to you."
Gu Yu was stunned. Was this the same as the "like" that he understood?
But why did he have the illusion that he was being teased?
Gu Yu took a deep breath and said solemnly, "As an official appointed by the imperial court, I cannot obey your order. Your Highness, please find someone else."
"Ha ha……"
Hu Yang laughed out loud, "Does County Magistrate Gu think that I want to marry you?"
Gu Yu's forehead veins were throbbing, her face flushed and her ears thickened. She was indeed the famous Princess Huyang, who dared to say anything.
It’s not true if he refutes it, and it’s not true if he doesn’t refute it.
Awkward!
After Hu Yang finished laughing, he said seriously, "I like you and want you to be my son-in-law."
