Chapter 164 Hooking Up
Su Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was very much like Bai Zhi's behavior. She looked at Gu Cheng with amusement as he stood there like a big stupid goose. Rong Jinchen just held her hand silently and played with it, not very interested in what was going on between them.
Gu Cheng grinned for a long moment before saying, "I would like to ask the Princess and His Highness to grant me a marriage with Bai Zhi!" Was this a blessing from heaven? He added, "I will definitely learn from Your Highness how to pamper your wife and love her as if she were my life! I will definitely not pay attention to other women!" He looked at Bai Zhi's blushing cheeks with loving eyes.
Su Zhenzhen was a little surprised to see that Gu Cheng, who usually didn't talk much, suddenly became so understanding. She wondered in her heart, are men so impatient to get married?
Rong Jinchen touched Su Zhenzhen's small hand, which felt warm and soft, very comfortable. He raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard her say: "Qingqing, Gu Cheng and Bai Zhi want to get married, so let's arrange for them to get married." As expected of his confidant, Rong Jinchen was very perceptive and knew that he loved Qingqing as his life.
She squeezed the man's calloused palm and looked at the two of them with a smile, "In that case, I will help you arrange your marriage." She happened to be bored.
Getting married anywhere was a good thing. Money could take care of everything, and Su Zhenzhen had no shortage of it.
Bai Zhi and Gu Cheng expressed their gratitude together: "Thank you, Princess, and thank you, Your Highness." They couldn't help but look at each other.
Lu Wu felt like she had eaten a big mouthful of dog food. At this time, Bai Zhi said again: "Princess, I will train the second-class maid for you. You can't forget me. I will still serve you by your side." She didn't want to leave the princess, and Gu Cheng was also with Her Highness.
Su Zhenzhen raised the corners of her lips, "Okay, I won't forget you." Bai Zhi and she grew up together, so they can talk about it later. They will definitely stay with her and Rong Jinchen in the next two years.
Because the lady-in-waiting of the princess and the chief secretary of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan were getting married, all the officials of Yingtian Prefecture and their families were trying their best to attend their wedding banquet.
Are you kidding? They can't even find a way to curry favor with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and His Royal Highness the Princess! This opportunity is so great for them!
Yin Yue's sister Yin Xin was very disappointed. She thought she still had a chance! Why did Lord Gu get married so quickly?
Gu Cheng is already the best candidate for husband she can come across. Otherwise, with her status as the illegitimate granddaughter of the eldest son of a fourth-rank prefect, what good family could she marry into?
But in the end, he didn't dare to offend the Princess Consort of Yan, so he could only grit his teeth and suppress his little thoughts.
Yin Yue glanced at the letter from her fiancé, Tong Han. He was the eldest grandson of the fifth-rank magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture. He was only sixteen years old this year, but he had already passed the imperial examination. Although he didn't go to Beijing to participate in the spring examination last year, he was just hoping to get a better ranking. Otherwise, he would definitely have been on the list. With his ability, no matter what, he would definitely be able to pass the imperial examination. It was not impossible for him to strive for a higher rank in the imperial examination.
Tong Han and she are childhood sweethearts. He treats her very well and treats people very well. Yin Yue is very satisfied with Tong Han as her fiancé.
After all, her grandfather was not the kind of person who was blinded by power and would not trade his granddaughter for his future. He just wanted to stay in the position of prefect peacefully until he retired.
Besides, although Tong Han’s future cannot be said to be bright, she can always earn an imperial decree.
"Miss, Master Tong also sent you your favorite lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake. He said he bought it specially from the Qian family pastry shop." Yin Yue's personal maid said as she unwrapped the pastry wrapped in oil paper.
Yin Yue glanced at the maid and said, "Are you the only one who can speak for him?" After saying that, she pinched a piece of lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake and couldn't help laughing, "Did he say when he would come to our house?" Because the grandfathers of the two families were superiors and subordinates, they had been close since childhood and were childhood sweethearts.
The maid covered her mouth quietly and said, "Young Master Tong said he will come tomorrow and ask you to go for an outing." If she were to say, her future son-in-law would definitely have a place among the most outstanding men in the entire Yingtian Prefecture.
Yin Yue smiled, but said worriedly: "You must take him with you tomorrow and don't let him talk to irrelevant people." She was afraid of what would happen if that idiot was ambushed by someone?
She couldn't bear to see such a good husband being snatched away by someone else.
Especially her half-sisters and cousins, every time they saw Tong Han, they seemed to want to pull him into their arms.
Fortunately, the idiot read all day long, and he didn't talk much to them, so he avoided them very well.
But the situation is different now. Her half-sister Yin Xin has been repeatedly looking for Lord Gu, a close confidant of Prince Yan, in the past two days. She seems to have heard that he is not married yet and wants to seduce him, but she has been rejected every time. Before she could even make any move, he directly rejected her. Now she is going to marry the female official beside the princess.
There's no guarantee that she will fall in love with her fiancé. After all, Tong Han is really outstanding. What if that idiot gets cheated?
Yingtian Prefecture Yamen Garden.
Tong Han, a handsome, refined and elegant man, was wearing a sky-blue double-breasted gown. He was about to meet the prefect's wife and told them that he wanted to go for an outing with Yue'er.
Unexpectedly, he was met by Yin Xin on the road. "Brother Han, are you here to look for big sister?" She was wearing a pink peach blossom soft satin pleated skirt, and the silver jade inlaid headpiece complemented the pink color. She smiled sweetly, gave him a homely greeting, and asked him with her head tilted.
Tong Han didn't look at her face directly. He returned the greeting and avoided her sight. "I'm here to see the magistrate's wife and aunt. I'll leave first." There are too many girls in the magistrate's office. He is a foreigner, so it's better to have less contact with them.
Tong Han was about to walk along the cobblestone path beside Yin Xin, across the bamboo forest and to the Chuigong Gate, but when she was about to pass by, she also raised her embroidered shoes as if she was about to leave. A frightened expression appeared on her pretty little face, as if she had accidentally tripped her foot on a cobblestone. "Oh, Brother Han, help me..." She was about to reach out and grab Tong Han's clothes not far away.
He was so scared that he jumped to the side. Yin Xin fell to the ground with fear in her eyes. Her hands were scraped and she screamed in pain. Tears fell instantly, "It hurts so much..." Although she was a concubine's daughter, she grew up in luxury.
The maid beside her had already helped her up. Tong Han said silently: "Miss San, please ask a doctor. Men and women should not touch each other. I will leave first." He didn't want to marry her, so how could he help her? Besides, she was his sister-in-law! He didn't have the hobbies of Ehuang and Nvying! It was too disgusting!
His mother hated concubines the most. He didn't have any good feelings towards his own illegitimate sisters, let alone his illegitimate sister-in-law?
Yin Xin looked at Tong Han's fleeing figure and was so angry that tears streamed down her face. She was not a monster! Was it really that serious?
