    Gu Lan is reading Gu Jinrong¡¯s letter in the study.

    Jinrong was studying in Qifang Hutong and often wrote to her, telling her some interesting things about his time in Daxing.  He and Mr. Zhou debated Zhu Shengren's Neo-Confucianism, and Mr. Zhou praised him for being extremely diligent in Neo-Confucianism.  Or maybe he and Young Master Yongyang secretly went to watch the cockfight. Young Master Yongyang lost ten taels of silver and got angry at the boy.  The second son of his classmate Mr. Xu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, liked to gamble on stones, and he actually cut out fine jadeite But this time after he went to Qifang Hutong, he rarely wrote to her. This was the first time.  seal up.

    Jinrong told her many interesting things as usual, and asked her how she was getting along with her eldest sister now, and how she was doing.

    Gu Lan breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter. Since he was willing to write, he must have forgiven himself. Young people can't bear to ignore others.

    She still couldn't be happy just thinking about what her mother said.

    ¡­Father now intends to marry her to Mu Zhizhai.

    Gu Lan cast her eyes on a cluster of small-leaf privet outside the window that was blooming just right. Small white flowers were dotted among the leaves. She originally liked the rich fragrance, but now it smelled too strong and made her feel a little fuzzy.  Bored.

    Mu Jin has just become Gu Lan¡¯s personal maid, and she does everything cautiously and carefully.  Seeing that Gu Lan was upset, he quietly went out to get a cup of sour plum soup for her.  He said in a low voice, "Second Miss, the sour plum soup that I made with well water is very cool."

    This girl is much better than Zi Ling. Gu Lan now feels that her mother was right to send Zi Ling away.

    She took the sour plum soup and took a sip. She remembered that she went to greet the Ji family today and saw the third lady of Duke Dingguo's Fan family coming to visit. The third lady also gave Gu Jinchao a string of carved red coral bracelets as a greeting gift, but only  He gave her an ordinary jade bracelet.  After talking to Mrs. Ji for a long time, even Ji's two personal maids stood under the verandah and did not listen inside.

    Mrs. Fan San is considered to be her father's cousin, but her father's mother was originally a concubine in the Gu family's ancestral family. She did not say so openly, but the relationship between the two families has always been very good. When she was born, the Fan family did not come in person.  People also gave gifts.

    If nothing happens on weekdays, Mrs. Fan San will not come to the Gu family.

    Gu Lan thought for a long time before asking Mu Jin: "Have you ever found out what Mrs. Fan San is here for?"

    Mu Jin quickly said: "Later, Mrs. Fan went to see the master, and the two talked for a while in the flower hall. I heard the girl serving tea in the flower hall said that Mrs. Fan came to announce the marriage to the third lady this time. What she said was  Her nephew who lives in the Du family in Wuqing. The master was very happy to hear this, and went to talk to Aunt Du again, as if he wanted to settle the marriage in advance. "

    The Mu family has just come to propose marriage, why are the Fan family coming to join in the fun again!  She felt upset when she thought about the marriage proposal, so she stopped asking about it.  Instead, she took the letters Jin Rong gave her to Aunt Song. Aunt Song had to read every letter between her and Jin Rong.

    Jin Chao also heard about this and asked Mother Tong to inquire about the situation of the Du family in Wuqing.  Tong's mother came back and said that two generations ago, the Du family produced a double-ranked Jinshi.  There is no further progress, and they are all relying on the shadow of their ancestors to live their lives.  Mrs. Fan San is the eldest daughter of the second master of the Du family.

    "The person I am talking to is Du Huai, the grandson of Mr. Du Si. He is fifteen years old this year and passed the college examination last year.  The Du family was already in decline, and Mr. Du Si was a mediocre member of the family. This family relationship was not a good one.  However, my father likes people who have the ambition to study. I heard that Du Huai passed the Sui Gong examination and therefore got the opportunity to study in the Imperial College. My father became very fond of Du Huai and felt that this marriage was a good one.

    Jin Chao really had no impression of the Wu Qing Du family. She was only very familiar with important people in the court or officials related to the Chen family.  But since I can pass the annual tribute examination on my own, instead of relying on Master Du Er to be a shadow prisoner, I should be an ambitious person myself.

    When Jin Chao went to greet her mother, she happened to be talking to Gu Yi.

    Gu Xi was also sitting on the side, with a slight blush on her face. She took Jin Chao's hand and asked in a low voice: "Third sister is only thirteen years old. Do we need to make an appointment first?"

    Girls usually have someone come to propose marriage since they are twelve years old.  Their family's situation was just special. No one in Gu Jinchao dared to propose marriage. Gu Lan thought the person who came to propose marriage did not have enough status, and she did not want to be someone else's concubine.  Therefore, both of them were getting married and had yet to get engaged, which gave Gu Xi the wrong impression.

    Jin Chao felt very sorry for her when she thought about it. Gu Xi grew up under her mother's name, and Aunt Guo didn't dare to get too close to her for fear of making her mother unhappy.  I just made something to give to her during the holidays.  Mother can't tell the difference?Take care of her, she and Gu Yi were both raised by grandma.  There are many things that grandma is inconvenient to say or dare not say, so they don't know.

    Mother smiled and glanced at Jin Chao as a greeting.  He continued to talk to Gu Yi: "My mother usually doesn't worry about your affairs, and she feels guilty. If you think this marriage is suitable, I will talk to your father and finalize the marriage"

    Although Gu Yi has a calm temper, he is still young after all. His face turned red and he said: "MotherII don't know either"

    She had never heard of this man and had no idea what he looked like.

    Ji was also at this age, so he naturally knew what she was worried about, so she glanced sideways at Mother Xu and said, "Why don't we let Mother Xu speak to Mrs. Fan San and bring her nephew to the master?"  , if you want to see it, just hide behind the curtain"

    Gu Yi bit her lip and said nothing, her face was so red that it was almost bleeding.  How could she do such a thing?

    Jin Chao smiled and said, "I think it's just right. Mrs. Fan San is still in the wing. Why don't we go find her immediately and talk to her."

    Gu Xi also nodded in agreement: "it would be nice to meet Third Sister!" She is young and always likes such fun things.

    Gu Yi stopped talking. Xu¡¯s mother told Mrs. Fan San that her nephew Du Huai would come to visit his father three days later.

    Father is preparing to meet Du Huai in the main hall.

    On the day of their visit, his three daughters were all jostling each other behind the curtain. When Gu Dezhao saw it, he smiled bitterly and said, "If you want to see it, you might as well hide in"

    Jin Chao was a little helpless, she was pulled over by Gu Xi.  Next to her, Mrs. Xu smiled and said nothing. She came to help Mr. Ji take a look.  Gu Xi was the one with the most interest. It was rare for her to be so happy, and it was hard for her to say anything inappropriate.  No one can see it anyway.

    Du Huai¡¯s greeting card was handed over quickly. When Gu Dezhao saw that he called himself Geng¡¯s nephew, he nodded secretly He knew the etiquette very well.

    When the others walked in, there was not even a boy or boy behind him.  Du Huai is wearing a very spirited lake blue straight jacket, with a white jade pendant with a Pisces pattern hanging on his waist. He is tall, handsome, and has a humble demeanor.  He also paid a respectful visit to Gu Dezhao. Gu Dezhao talked to him about craftsmanship and gave him a test on "Spring and Autumn". Although his answer was not brilliant, he was not boastful. His father was even more satisfied.

    Gu Yi was also moved by this look, and the marriage was settled. They chose a date to exchange invitations, and invited Mrs. Fan San to have a day of wine. Gu Yi officially made an engagement with Du Huai.

    When Aunt Song heard that Du Huai was very knowledgeable and handsome, she was making a jacket for Gu Lan and sewing banana leaf patterns on the cuffs.

    After hearing this, he said calmly: "There are more than 3,000 students in the Imperial College. In each imperial examination, the number can range from a hundred to a dozen, and many of the students who are over fifty cannot pass the exam. It really doesn't matter.  It would be better to ask his second master to donate a small official position, and slowly work his way up, with Dingguo Gong as his support, so that he will not worry about not making any progress in his official career."

    Gu Lan felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what the girl said.  Why did Mu Zhizhai, who came to propose marriage to her, be that kind of person? Although Du Huai's family background was not as good as that of Mu Zhizhai, he was several times better than Mu Zhizhai.  However, when her mother said this, she thought about it. She would not marry Mu Zhizhai anyway. Du Huai's future was really uncertain. Gu Yi would become an old man by accompanying him.  What other rich and prosperous years are there?

    Aunt Song felt that this relationship was really ordinary, but she thought about it and said to Gu Lan, "it's enough to be married to Gu Yi."

    While the mother and daughter were talking, Yuxiang walked in. She saluted and whispered: "Auntie, Mrs. Chen who sent Miss Ziling to Shulu, Baoding is back. She said she has something important to do and wants to see you."

    Could it be that there was something wrong with Zi Ling's marriage? Aunt Song frowned and thought for a while, then invited her in.

    Mrs. Chen has just returned from Baoding. She is dusty and the little knots on the back of her head are crooked.  She said hello loudly, but her eyes looked very bright.

    "Why are you so anxious to see me?" Aunt Song asked her.

    Mrs. Chen quickly smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that this time I sent Miss Ziling to Shulu, Baoding, and met a woman I knew well. She used to do odd jobs in our house, but later she got older and was let go."  She returned to her hometown to take care of her old age. Her son was working in the Song family's farm, but she recognized the slave and held the slave in her arms and talked for a while"

    Aunt Song nodded and signaled Mrs. Chen to continue.  These words are really irrelevant.

    Mrs. Chen then continued: "That granny, originally served Aunt Yun"

    Aunt Song¡¯s movements stopped, and Gu Lan heard that Aunt Yun also became cautious and looked at Mrs. Chen.

    Aunt Song waved her hand to Qiaowei to put the things away first, and then asked the woman carefully: "What on earth did this woman who served Aunt Yun say, do you want to tell me in a hurry?"

    When Mrs. Chen heard this, she guessed that she was in for something. She continued: "This woman was originally just sweeping the house at Aunt Yun's house and was not allowed to work on the stage. However, she told the servant that the two personal girls who were serving Aunt Yun at that time, the one who was alive and the  She said that Cuiping was unjustly accused and that she was not the one who made the mistake of taking the medicine. It was someone who wanted to harm Aunt Yun"

    "You would never guess that she said that person was Madam." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Ask the woman carefully: "What did this woman who served Aunt Yun say? Do you want to tell me in a hurry?"
