Chapter 179 Get married in a hurry

  Jiang Luo's cry for help became farther and farther away, even Hongxing in Jiang Changning's courtyard heard her cry. The complexions of Jiang Changbai and Jiang Mu became even worse.

   It's not good for Jiang Luo to provoke anyone, but the emperor. And I don't know what I did to make the emperor hate him so much.

  Mother Jiang let out a long sigh and sat down on the chair. She closed her eyes and a look of depression appeared on her face: "The family is unlucky...the family is unlucky..."

"Changbai, what do you think should be done now?" Although Jiang's mother is in charge of the government and is quite prestigious in the eyes of the servants in the whole government, she is a woman in the house after all, and it is related to the life and death of the entire Jiang family. I panicked.

  Furthermore, Jiang Changbai is an official in the court, so he should know that person better.

Jiang Changbai also frowned tightly, with a solemn look on his face: "Now we have no choice but to ask the second sister to marry off the Holy Majesty without decree, so as to cut off the majesty's thoughts." There is one last sentence that Jiang Changbai didn't say, Just doing this, I'm afraid it will hurt the emperor's face. At that time, in order to appease his anger, he will also ask himself to resign.

"Tell A Luo to marry?" Mother Jiang smiled wryly: "I'm afraid the Gu family will not agree." Last time at the Buddhist meeting, Mother Jiang saw clearly that Gu Xiujing's temperament changed drastically. . If Jiang Luo is really allowed to enter the palace, Gu Xiujing still doesn't know how to make trouble in Jiang's residence. Jiang's mother paused for a moment, as if it was hard to say: "Besides, A Luo and Gu Shizi already have a skin relationship. If A Luo doesn't want to, she can't force it."

   "If you don't want to, then enter the palace!" Jiang Chang's face was expressionless, his attitude was resolute and there was no room for turning back.

  Jiang's mother thought and thought, Jiang Luo was a piece of meat that fell from her body, and she suffered so many years outside, and now she has to marry off in a few years, after all, she feels guilty and unbearable.

  Compared to marrying an outsider who doesn't know the details and makes Jiang Luo feel resentful, it is better to marry Gu Xiujing who she likes. At the very least, she chose this path by herself, whether it is good or bad, she can't blame others.

  Mother Jiang was still thinking about how to tell the Jiang family about the matter, but the palace caught her by surprise.

   Originally Qin Tianjian, who had a weak sense of existence, suddenly made a fortune to the emperor, saying that there was a girl outside the palace whose fate was quite compatible with the Holy Majesty. The fortune of this woman is even more prosperous.

  In the end, she named her by name. This girl is Jiang Luo, the second girl of the Jiang family.

   All of a sudden, the court was in an uproar. All civil and military officials looked at Jiang Changbai differently.

  There are only a few girls in the mansion, why one or two of them have caught the eyes of those in the palace.

  They have all heard that their wife came back and said that the eldest girl Jiang Changning was approved by Master Kongchan to have the fate of a phoenix, and was regarded by the queen as the future princess. But people just don't want to, and they are about to refuse. Just after this session was over, the second girl was valued by the emperor again. Could it be that the Jiang family's ancestral tomb has smoked, so they have such good luck.

  Different from the envy of others, Jiang Changbai's heart was cold from the beginning to the end under the cold eyes of Emperor Jin'an.

  He didn't know how he muddled through those sincere or false congratulations, and how he left the palace sweating profusely. It is also quite capable to be missed by Jiang Luo so much.

  Jiang Changbai almost fled in despair.

  As the dynasty went down, the news that Jiang Luo and Emperor Jin'an were in harmony was spread all over the sky.

   This news naturally reached Gu Xiujing's ears. The moment he heard the news, he wiped off the ink on his fingertips with a clean handkerchief, and strode out of the study with a calm face.

  Mother Gu, who also got the news, saw Gu Xiujing's ugly face and hurried steps, and knew that he was about to suffer, so she quickly brought four or five servants to stop in front of the gate of Gu's mansion. They guarded the vermilion courtyard like an iron barrel, and lined up in a row to block Gu Xiujing's footsteps.

   Gu Xiujing froze, looking around at the dead crowd in front of the door, there was still something he didn't understand. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes tearing apart: "Mother wants to stop me?"

  Mother Gu just felt tired in her heart. It’s fine for her son to be confused about trivial matters once or twice. Now that Jiang Luo has something to do with Emperor Jin’an, how can they meddle with the Duke’s government.

But Gu Xiujing is the child she raised after ten months of pregnancy, she couldn't bear to watch him jump into the fire pit, and persuaded her earnestly: "Xiu Jing, this matter is not trivial, but you don't want to interfere, the love between children needs to be broken as soon as possible That's right, don't go looking for that second girl Jiang."

  How could Gu Xiujing listen to it? His mind was full of rumors that Jiang Luo and Emperor Jin'an's destiny matched. If he didn't go there, Jiang Luo would enter the palace to accompany the saint.

   "Mother, don't stop me. Luoer and I are husband and wife. Luoer can only marry me as his wife, and must not enter the palace!"

Gu's mother's complexion also became serious: "Gu Xiujing, are you out of your mind and want to compete with that woman? If the higher-ups blame you, how can you bear the consequences alone? Let me say it again, you Go back and be honest, don't go and find Jiang Luo!"

   "Mother!" Gu Xiujing called her hastily: "Mother, I must go today, mother, don't worry, if the Holy One blames me, I should bear it alone!"

Gu's mother's temples tingled with anger, and she sneered when she heard the words: "You bear it? How can you bear it? Everything you have now is based on the premise of Gu's Duke's Mansion, but your mouth is so hard, Just based on you alone, what do you think you can achieve?!"

Gu Xiujing already made a decision in his heart, he raised his eyes and looked at his mother firmly, with a difficult voice: "Mother, I must go out of this school today, and I will definitely marry Luo'er, forgive the child for being unfilial, I would like to marry myself Leaving the door, from now on, misfortunes and fortunes have nothing to do with the Gu family."

"Snapped-"

  Mother Gu's hand was still in mid-air, because she was out of breath and used a lot of force, her palm was painfully hot. She looked at Gu Xiujing who was slapped to the side, and said every word: "Okay, okay. Since you are willing to make such a decision for a woman, I also have the right to treat all the blessings of giving birth to you for so many years." Dog. You go, and you will have nothing to do with the government of our country from now on."

  Mother Gu stepped aside, turned around and no longer looked at Gu Xiujing.

  Gu Xiujing lowered her head and was speechless, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed three times in the direction of Gu's mother. The other party waved open the courtyard door and entered inside without looking back.

  Gu Xiujing ran all the way with his back facing the different expressions in the eyes of the servants of the Gu family, fearing that it would be difficult to stay with Jiang Luo if he fell behind by half a point, he rushed to the Jiang family with all his strength.

  Jiang's mother was pacing back and forth in the room anxiously, when she heard a servant coming to report Gu Xiujing's visit, she hurriedly called out: "Let him in quickly!"

  No matter how much she despises the eldest son of the Gu family, Jiang's mother has to admit that compared to marrying the dying old emperor, Gu Xiujing is Jiang Luo's last way out. As long as Gu Xiujing is willing, he can say anything.

   It's just that the situation is out of control now, the Duke's Mansion should avoid this hot potato, but Gu Xiujing is willing to take the initiative?

   "Aunt Jiang, I would like to marry Luo'er!"

  As soon as Gu Xiujing entered the door, he went straight to the topic, and things were in a hurry and he couldn't wait for him to answer politely.

  Even though there was some expectation in her heart, Jiang's mother was still shocked when she heard these words. With a trace of hesitation in her eyes, she confirmed with Gu Xiujing again and again: "Does Mrs. Gu know your decision?"

  Gu Xiujing shook her head with a sad expression, and told her truthfully: "Now I am no longer the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion. Marriage matters are all up to me. I also ask Aunt Jiang to agree to marry Luoer to me as a wife."

  Jiang's mother was startled for a moment, Gu Xiujing actually broke up with Gu's mother at the expense of the wealth of the Duke's Mansion in order to marry Luo'er.

  She looked back and forth, and the sternness in her eyes disappeared a lot. Since Gu Xiujing is willing to do this, she can still teach her to take a look. Although the empathy of his wife and sister in the previous marriage contract caused a lot of trouble, but right now he may be the best candidate.

   "Come here, go and bring Jiang Luo." Mother Jiang shouted towards the door, and someone responded.

In the ancestral hall, Jiang Luo also heard the rumors spreading outside. She was half unwilling to let her marry that old man. Thinking of this, she even cursed Jiang Changning. If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have gone That wing room will not be seen by the Dog Emperor. But she completely forgot that it was her greedy scheming that put her in this situation.

   "Second girl, the old lady called you over."

Someone yelled outside the ancestral hall, Jiang Luo threw down the porcelain bowl on the table angrily, raised her foot and walked out, thinking in her heart that if they sent her into the palace regardless of their feelings, she would not will make it easier for them.

   Walking all the way to Guanghua Hall, Jiang Luo saw a familiar figure from behind.

  The man heard the footsteps and turned around quickly, revealing the red and swollen palm prints on his cheeks and the bruised and mottled scars on his forehead.

  Gu Xiujing watched Jiang Luo approaching steadily, and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, Luoer, I'm here to marry you."

"Brother Xiu Jing." It is impossible to say that the heart is not touched. Jiang Luo's mission for so long is mostly hypocritical and unscrupulous, but the man in front of him is willing to come against the wind at this time and tell her to marry her. Jiang Luo couldn't help but feel a slight twitch in his heart because of the previous situation controlled by the system, and there was more sincerity in his eyes looking back at the past.

  Emperor Jin'an was staring at him, as if there was a guillotine hanging above his head who didn't know when it would land. Mother Jiang discussed with Gu Xiujing, saying that this matter must be done as soon as possible, for fear of delay.

"Since you intend to ask for a marriage, it's better not to delay this matter. I'll ask someone to measure an auspicious date. The marriage will be held in the next few days. It's just that the wedding should not be held in a big way and must be held in a low-key manner, so as not to leak the news and usher in any changes. .”

  Although Mother Jiang didn't say it clearly, Gu Xiujing knew that she was referring to Emperor Jin'an. Now the courtiers and officials know that the second daughter of the Jiang family is interested, if the news he intercepted from it gets out, the imperial decree canonized before the wedding will come down soon.

After all, getting married is not a trivial matter. He can't go back to the Gu family, and can't give Jiang Luo ten miles of red makeup, three matchmakers and six employments. Gu Xiujing spent most of his money and found a young man to help him find if there is a suitable one. House.

  After all, after Jiang Luo marries him, she can't live a life of living in the open air, and after getting married, the husband and wife have no reason to live in Jiang's house. Fortunately, the loyal servant beside him brought the gold and silver he had accumulated for a long time. This gave Gu Xiujing some confidence.

   It is not easy to find a house, so Gu Xiujing found a nearby inn to stay. During the day, Jiang Luo would wear a veiled hat and go out of the house to talk to Gu Xiujing, and the days were rare and pleasant. I don't know if he was disgusted by the old emperor last time, but when he saw Gu Xiujing and Jiang Luo again, his eyes became much more sincere.

   There has been no progress in the strategy mission for a long time, so it's better to hug Gu Xiujing tightly. After all, as Jiang Changning's former fiancé-in-law, his luck is relatively strong.

  The news from the house came two days later that the former owner was from the Hanlin Academy. Like Gu Xiujing, he is also from a scholarly family. The most important thing is that the price is fair. In the capital, a house with four entrances and four exits is only two thousand taels of silver.

  As soon as you enter the courtyard, there is a gray brick and stone road in the middle, pointing directly to the hall. The hall door is four dark red doors, the middle two doors are slightly open. The diamond-patterned wooden windows in the side porch are open, clean and bright. There are round chairs and rattan tables in front of the porch, three feet away from the rattan tables, and the flowers and plants are thick.

  The originally barren courtyard looks more vivid and simple under the background of flowers and plants. On the tall trees outside the wall, there are occasionally a few amazing birdsong. Although the walls are mottled, its free and easy style can still be seen from the small windows built on the walls and the surrounding decorations. The roof has fewer eaves, which is a popular production style among craftsmen in the past few years.

  The servant couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Gu Xiujing to take a look first.

   Gu Xiujing made a decision at a glance, he directly gave the silver and the owner's house in exchange for the land deed.

   With the house, Gu Xiujing's hesitant heart was finally put into practice. He held Jiang Luo's hand. The two of them strolled in the small colorful garden, and they looked a bit peaceful.

  Jiang Luo is going to get married, and Jiang's mother naturally has to prepare. Because it was too conspicuous to carry the cage, I had to convert all the valuables into silver coins. The red wedding cloth cannot be hung, so as not to offend the emperor's eyes. Not to mention some banquet guests.

  In Jiang Changbai’s words, the less eye-catching the better, even the sedan chair is the most simple one.

  The day when Jiang Luo came out of the pavilion came in a blink of an eye, and in the flower hall, everyone in Jiang's residence was sitting upright. It wasn't until the sun set and the night wind brought a little bit of coolness that Jiang Luo came out wearing a fiery red wedding dress.

  A fiery red wedding dress set off her snow-white skin even more white as fat. A pair of big, watery eyes, like black grapes, shone with a charming luster, making it impossible to look away. The face is painted with light makeup, adding a charming atmosphere.

   "Daughter bids farewell to mother and brother".

   "Good! Good! Good!" Mother Jiang said a few good words. Although his face was still sullen, his eyes were much gentler.

  As the biological mother, now that her daughter is out of the cabinet, she naturally has to explain in detail.

   "Today you are married to Gu's son, you must not be as stubborn and self-willed as the Jiang family. You should be self-restraining and respectful, and everything is more important than the son." Jiang's mother said seriously, but Jiang Luo was very disdainful. As a modern person, she naturally couldn't accept these dross.

  Jiang's mother also saw Jiang Luo's absent-mindedness, and finally closed her mouth.
