Chapter 195 Love the House and the Dog
Imperial manor outside Beijing.
The time-traveling girl Luo Zhihan was very satisfied. Thanks to the effect of the fertility pill, last year's breeding bulls produced another 120 calves, all of which were lively and energetic.
When His Majesty learned of this, he was overjoyed. She was already a county lady. If the calves from last year's breeding were also fertile next spring, she could become a county lady, receive a promotion and a raise, reach the pinnacle of her life, and marry a rich and handsome man!
Thinking of the handsome gentleman she met during the Lantern Festival this year, who had become her boyfriend some time ago, Luo Zhihan couldn't help but reveal a slightly excited smile, little puppy!
Actually, it’s pretty good to travel back to ancient times. At least she can’t find such an original super handsome guy in modern times!
Gu Wenmin did not hide his family background. Luo Zhihan also knew that he was the younger brother of Empress Yuanxi's second sister-in-law, and she did not intend to hide it. She told the truth that she was a concubine of an imperial merchant and a lady-in-law of the Princess of Yan.
When she first started dating Gu Wenmin, she was just a female official and had not yet become a second-rank county lady.
Luo Zhihan has lived in Daqin for more than a year and almost two years, and has deeply experienced what it means to be well-matched and that the class gap is greater than the chasm.
She just wanted to have a relationship. With her current status and her in-laws being the fifth among the Prime Ministers and the fourth-rank Jinshi, there was definitely a gap between her and the legitimate son of the fourth-rank Yangzhou prefect, even though she was personally conferred as a county lady by His Majesty.
But apart from relying on the power of Princess Yan, she has no appeal at all. Although she smiles at you on the surface, she actually looks down on your identity as a concubine's daughter of a merchant.
Unfortunately, her boyfriend's father is such a person. Otherwise, given her status as a favorite of the emperor, it can be said that Gu Wenmin is marrying above his station.
If she didn't really like Gu Wenmin and he didn't have any problems, Luo Zhihan would have wanted to break up long ago.
However, Luo Zhihan would not be a scumbag who played with other people's feelings. As soon as she traveled through time, she was taught a lesson, and it was a life and death choice from her former idol, Emperor Wu of Qin.
We know that in ancient times one had to adapt to local customs. Our ancestors just lived in an earlier era, they were not stupid.
What's more, she is in contact with people from the most powerful circle, and their IQ is much higher than that of a newbie like her, so she'd better stay low.
If possible, Luo Zhihan would certainly like to marry Gu Wenmin, but there is only one year left before she reaches the peak of her life. After all, the child-bearing system is her golden finger.
It's a pity that her beloved boyfriend only let her touch his little hand and hug him. Luo Zhihan only got a bite and regretfully lit a cigarette.
Gu Wenmin is indeed a very responsible man. He said that he has not married and is single. He wants to make a career on his own first, so that he can have the confidence to challenge his father, and then marry her.
She didn't need to wait for long, after all, he was not yet twenty and was only eighteen years old this year.
When in doubt, he would learn from His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. This was what he learned from Zhou Xi.
Zhou Xi was the second son of the Marquis of Qingyuan, who married the eldest daughter of the Minister of War, who was a close friend of the Princess of Yan. He was an intern at the Guizhou Provincial Administration Office of the Ministry of Revenue.
Gu Wenmin was an intern at the Hanlin Academy, and only the top three candidates in the imperial examination could be appointed as officials in the first year.
The three most handsome men in their class were: Dushu, the consort of the fifth princess, Gu Wenmin, who was single, and Zhou Xi, who married the close friend of Princess Yan's wife.
Logically, Gu Wenmin was also very popular, but who could blame him for having such a powerful backer? Everyone wanted to make friends, not enemies.
Just kidding, even if you want to be a son-in-law, you have to have a better background than the other person. Master Gu still lives in the Su Mansion, they can't afford to offend him.
Cheng Mansion.
Ji Du is on vacation at home, doing prenatal education with the fifth princess Rong Ruoyan.
The fifth princess Rong Ruoyan is already four months pregnant. She is looking at her belly with tenderness on her face. The maternal glow on her face is very gentle, and it makes people's hearts soften suddenly.
"Your Highness, Princess, your Highness, the Princess Consort of Prince Yan has sent someone to deliver the invitation to the flower viewing banquet. Please attend the banquet at the Prince Yan's Mansion on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month." The maid of the fifth princess reported.
Dudu's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the Fifth Princess, who was stunned. "What? Fourth sister-in-law is back in Beijing?" How come she didn't know anything?
This was also because the Fifth Princess was busy taking care of her pregnancy. Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen returned to the capital on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and today was only the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The fifth princess smiled brightly. She looked at Dudu and said, "Prince Consort, I will go to attend the flower-viewing banquet hosted by Fourth Sister-in-law in three days. You can arrange your own itinerary." She missed Fourth Sister-in-law so much. She had been away for almost a year. There must be many fun and delicious things she had not seen along the way.
As she was about to stand up, Du subconsciously supported the Fifth Princess, staring nervously at her slightly bulging belly. "Princess, go slowly." He smiled gently, "Princess, just go to the Princess Yan's flower viewing banquet. I'll pick you up after the banquet. The roads are slippery in the snow, so I'll stay in the study and read."
The Fifth Princess, Rong Ruoyan, smiled and looked at Dudu tenderly, "Thank you, my husband, for your concern." She thought the husband was quite good. He had only once met a maid sent by the palace for trial marriage, but instead of taking her as a concubine, he sent her away directly. Because she was pregnant and unable to serve the husband, she offered to take him a concubine, but he refused, saying that it was a good opportunity for him to cultivate his character, take care of official business, and work hard.
The fifth princess Rong Ruoyan does not need love either. Her ideal marriage life is to treat each other with respect. The fifth princess is very satisfied with her married life.
Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Xu Siyu couldn't help but stand up with joy after hearing what Yingtao said. She reached out and grabbed her wrist. "Is Zhenzhen back? When is the flower viewing party?" She missed her so much!
Yingtao looked at her young lady, who was still so childish after being married for almost a year, with amusement. "The Princess Consort of Prince Yan returned to the capital with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan on the eighth day of the first lunar month. They hosted a flower viewing banquet at the Prince of Yan's mansion on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month. She personally wrote the invitation to you, Madam Second Young Master."
The wife of the Marquis of Qingyuan and the wife of the young master of Qingyuan looked at the excitement of the master and servant, but did not laugh at their loss of composure. In fact, they themselves wanted to scream.
It's been almost two years since the Princess of Yan got married, and this is her first time hosting a banquet. Getting an invitation is a testament to one's connections and strength in the capital!
My daughter-in-law/brother-in-law's wife is worthy of being the close friend of Princess Yan. They are really holding on to this golden thigh.
Su Zhenzhen intended to give Xu Siyu face. Yingtao also listened to the words of the person who came to deliver the invitation and said with a smile: "Madam, Madam Eldest Young Master, the person sent by the Princess of Yan to deliver the invitation also said that you can go to the flower viewing banquet with the Madam of the Second Young Master." To be honest, the Princess of Yan is even more useful than her son-in-law. If the Princess of Yan was a man, what would her son-in-law have to do with her?
Although everyone in the mansion said that her young lady and her brother-in-law were deeply in love, and her brother-in-law only had her young lady, she could see that there was no love between them at all.
The wife of the Marquis of Qingyuan and the wife of the Prince of Qingyuan were stunned by the pie that fell from the sky.
God knows they were originally a somewhat declining marquisate that couldn't even get an invitation to the princess's banquet.
Unexpectedly, the Princess of Yan loves the Prince of Yan so much! The Princess of Yan and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan are favored by the Emperor. I heard that His Majesty rewarded the Princess of Yan with a lot of treasures when she returned to Beijing.
Why does it feel so good to be carried away?
