Chapter 4 Engagement
When I woke up, it was daylight.

The window was opened, and a hundred flowers were blooming outside, and the gentle breeze brought the fragrance of flowers.

The golden light was everywhere outside, and a beam of golden light shot in playfully, and it was a beautiful spring weather.

Gu Fuyun clutched his forehead, the pain was no longer there, but his throat was still dry and uncomfortable, his ankle was wrapped in a layer of white cotton cloth, the doctor said that his meridians were injured, and he would need to be nursed for about a month before he could walk.

A figure walked in and gave Gu Fuyun a blessing: "Fifth Miss, my servant Shu Qing. I came here to serve you specially under the order of the old lady."

Shuqing is the first-class servant girl by the old lady's side. Now she is drawn to her side to serve her, not to pay attention to her, but to remind her all the time that you are still a sinner.

The four maids serving Gu Fuyun were all gone, she asked Shuqing.

"It has been sold by the old lady."

Gu Fuyun was full of guilt: "It's all my fault, and they have been hurt."

Shujing said indifferently: "So in the future, girls must think twice before doing anything."

Gu Fuyun said dully: "I won't mess around again from now on."

To be trained by a maid, but she still can't refute, is there anyone more unlucky than her in this world?
After breakfast, Shuqing took a book, pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"The old lady ordered that the girl should carefully copy this book five times while she is recuperating."

The book cover is dark blue, and it is a bit old. On the book cover is written "Twenty Rules of Gu's Family Regulations". After flipping through them, there are a total of twenty family rules, and there are notes and explanations under each of the family rules.The whole book has three hundred pages.

Gu Fuyun gasped, but because he was dealing with a crime, he really didn't dare to say no.

"The third girl is here." The voice of the little maid came from the door.

There was a crisp sound from Xiangfei's bamboo curtain, and a beautiful girl came in.

A young girl of twenty-eight years old, with delicate features, dignified and elegant, dressed in lavender with green teeth and long skirts, with a slender waist and a slender figure, her brows resembled Gu Fuyun somewhat.

"Sister." Seeing the person coming, Gu Fuyun called in a low voice.

Shu Qing came to bless her body.

With a straight and delicate face, Gu Xiaoyun said to Gu Fuyun: "You still have my sister in your eyes."

Gu Fuyun lowered his head and said calmly: "Sister, I'm sorry to make you worry."

"I'm worried about what you are doing? Although you did something stupid and lost your face, you still get what you want. It's too late for me to congratulate you."

"What do you wish for?" Gu Fuyun was at a loss.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Gu Xiaoyun couldn't get angry again, because Gu Fuyun was really miserable at this time, his cheeks were red, swollen and congested by Qiao's beating yesterday. Clearly visible.But a pair of big, watery eyes, with a kind of cuteness, makes people feel pity and love.Another layer of white cloth was wrapped around his forehead, making him look even more pitiful.

Gu Xiaoyun sat down, squeezed her arm fiercely, and said: "The Lord Protector's Mansion sent someone here yesterday to make an appointment for your marriage."

"Ah? Engagement? What kind of engagement?" Gu Fuyun thumped.Her reputation is so bad that there is still someone willing to want her?Could it be that those crooked melons and cracked dates can't get a wife?

"The Huguogong's Mansion. You pulled the Huguogong's son into the water yesterday, and the Huguogong's mansion is kind enough to recognize you as a daughter-in-law. You came to our house yesterday to make an appointment for your marriage."

Gu Fuyun's mind was buzzing, even though she knew that marriages were always done blindly in ancient times, but it happened to her, and she still couldn't bear it.

Gu Xiaoyun sighed again and said: "Although the Lord Protector passed away a few years ago, he sacrificed for the court. The Emperor also loves and respects the Duke Protector's Mansion. The son of the Protector is only a weak crown, and he is already an old man. The famous man next to the emperor, the leader of the Dragon Knights. The son of the Huguogong is a well-known handsome man in the capital, and he is favored by the emperor. His future future will definitely not be bad. Lord, there is only Mrs. Chu in the mansion of Huguogong, the eldest house has Mrs. Chu, and two younger brothers and a younger sister of Huguogong's son. The three-bedroom and four-bedroom people are also simple. If you marry in the past, you will be the future wife, Mrs. Guogong .”

Gu Fuyun still couldn't understand it, she was only the third daughter of the uncle's mansion, her father was just an idle job in Enyin, and the Gu family of the Yongning uncle's mansion was not very prominent in the circle of nobles in the capital, they were just ordinary nobles.He is several grades behind the younger brother of Duke Huguo.

Didn't the ancients pay attention to being well-off, right?
Gu Xiaoyun said again: "Although the Huguogong's mansion agreed to this marriage, if you get in like this, life will not be much easier when you enter the Huguogong's gate in the future. But you choose the person yourself. It’s all up to you. Your natal family can’t help you.”

Gu Fuyun pursed her lips and said nothing.

Even modern people pay attention to being well-matched, let alone the ancients.

Although women generally marry high, the status of the husband's family and the mother's family will not differ too much.

Like the daughter of the third wife of the uncle's mansion who married the mansion of the Duke of the State as the wife of the eldest son, if you look all over the capital, you may not be able to find a second family.

Gu Xiaoyun asked all the maids in the room to retreat.Only then did he say: "Of course your wishes come true, but do you know that the son of Duke Protector is twenty years old, why hasn't he married yet?"

It is indeed strange.Like their eldest and second brothers, one got married at the age of seventeen and the other at the age of eighteen.With an identity like the heir's son of the Duke Protector's Mansion, he wouldn't be too late.

Gu Xiaoyun said in a low voice: "The son of the Protector of the Kingdom had made two engagements before, but not long after each engagement, his fiancée died. One fell into the water and died, and the other died of illness. Therefore, rumors spread outside. The son of the protector of the country is suspected of restraining his wife."

It is precisely because the son of the protector of the country has the reputation of restraining his wife that he has not been married until he was twenty years old.

When the Duke Huguo's Mansion came to propose marriage to the Gu family, the elders of the Gu family were first relieved, then joyful, but then gloom shrouded them again.

If it weren't for the son of the protector of the country to restrain his wife, how could he obediently come to propose marriage after being tricked, don't even think about it.

Gu Fuyun sighed, sure enough there was something tricky about it.
