Chapter 22 The hero is a cousin

Gu Wenjing has been busy for many days and dealt with disaster relief-related matters. Because the seventh prince asked him to help contact the procurement channels of medicinal materials, food and other materials, the image he created in front of the seventh prince was a good official who cared about the people, so he was able to do what he could. Certainly not shirk.

And Gu Wenjing was a large businessman who founded a large multinational group before he crossed the road. Business talks are his old line of business. Not only can he get the best price, he can also make those businessmen give him discounts with a smile.

This outstanding ability to do things naturally made the Seventh Prince particularly appreciate it, and Gu Wenjing found that the Seventh Prince’s attitude towards him became more cordial and faintly attracted. It’s just that the Seventh Prince hasn’t made a clear statement, so he pretended not to know.

Of course, the seven princes were more than the seven princes who were wise eyes and beads. Gu Wenjing’s ability to work in the disaster relief caused many people to look at him, and he once again welcomed the other princes to intensify their efforts.

But fortunately, the emperor now pays more and more attention to him and Ning Yuanhou and his son. As the emperor’s confidant, Ning Yuanhou Mansion is not something that these princes can forcefully persecute.

Since tough methods cannot be used, the princes put their ideas on the marriage.

Gu Wenjing still has two concubine sisters who have not married. The third girl in the Hou Mansion is not yet in time, but the second girl is already in love with each other.

When Gu Wenjing came home from get off work one day, he received the news that Ning Yuanhou had imprisoned the second girl and his biological mother and aunt.

Gu Wenjing went to the main room and asked Yuan Shi to ask what was going on.

Yuan Shi said: “Your second sister has a high spirits, she actually taught and accepted the fourth prince privately! Today, the fourth prince sent someone to propose a marriage, and even used her close-up veil as a token, which made Lord Hou angry.”

Gu Wenjing’s face is also not very good-looking. This is different from modern times in ancient times. In ancient times, large families married women and married women were all marriages. Many factors must be considered behind each marriage. The lover’s final marriage must be based on both family backgrounds. The gap is small and there is no hatred.

And his concubine, as a concubine of the Hou Mansion, married the fourth prince and became a concubine. This is nothing. After all, Ning Yuanhou and his father and son have real power, and the Hou Mansion is not high, and the Hou Mansion and the Fourth Prince have no hatred.

But the problem is that the purpose of the four princes to propose marriage is not pure! He wanted to win over Ningyuan Hou Mansion with this relationship, but Ningyuan Hou Mansion did not want to get on the thief ship of the Fourth Prince.

In this case, marriage is definitely not feasible. But Gu Wenjing, the second younger sister, secretly taught and accepted the Four Princes, putting the Hou Mansion on a disadvantageous side, and could not even refuse to refuse, otherwise it would ruin the reputation of the entire Gu family.

Gu Wenjing knew in his heart that the fourth prince was a broken ship. He was also angry that the second sister did not know self-love, had a lot of thoughts, was high-spirited, and wanted to climb Gaozhi without knowing anything. He thought that marrying the prince was a good marriage. Her life is even more sad than marrying ordinary people.

Gu Wenjing hurriedly went to the front yard study to see his father Ning Yuanhou for this kind of major event involving the future position of the Hou Mansion.

“Father, I heard my mother say that her second sister…”

Ning Yuanhou said with a sullen face: “This situation can only be agreed, otherwise your third sister will not be able to marry, and the reputation of other girls in the clan will be ruined.”

In this world, the reputation of women is extremely important. If any woman loses her reputation, the girls of the same race will have a flawed reputation.

Gu’s family is not only the Ningyuan Houfu branch, but also other relatives of the direct branch! As the head of the Gu family, Ning Yuanhou must always consider the reputation of the family.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

In this case, Gu Wenjing can’t help the second sister to intercede, “Then father, what do you mean…”

Ning Yuanhou sighed: “The water thrown out by the married daughter, she chooses the path, let her go on her own. It is impossible for me to bet the entire Gu family for her alone.” He looked at Gu Wenjing. Seriously, “Wenjing, you must remember that only by following the person on the dragon chair, being impartial and uncompromising, is the long-term way!”

Gu Wenjing’s mind was slightly shaken, and he became contemplative.

Ning Yuanhou’s words really awakened Gu Wenjing, who wanted to obtain the merits of the dragon. He knew the general plot and knew that the future winner was the seventh prince. This was a tenacious win from the merits of the dragon. But if Gu’s family has tasted the sweetness, can Gu’s insist on remaining neutral in the next contending battle?

What if Gu’s family got better because of his successful bet this time, and the descendants of Gu’s family are also accustomed to standing in the midst of the predecessor? Things are impermanent, there will always be a mess after betting, and the whole family will lose out.

Although Gu Wenjing had crossed over halfway, Gu Zhenghong was his son, and the heirs of the Gu family in the future are his descendants. He always wants to make a long-term plan for the family in the future.

So Gu Wenjing silently dismissed the idea of ​​taking refuge in the Seventh Prince in his heart, and the Gu family must ensure that they would never get involved in the controversy in order to prosper for a long time. He could not set this precedent.

Gu Wenjing raised his eyes and stared at Ning Yuanhou, and said in a deep voice: “Father rest assured, my son keeps in mind the teachings and will never mix them in.”

Ning Yuanhou nodded in satisfaction. Although he did not know Gu Wenjing’s secret plans before, he was afraid that Gu Wenjing would be dragged on the thief ship by the fourth prince because his second daughter married the fourth prince. It’s useless to hold him on his own, his son Wenjing is his heir, and the future head of the Gu family will also need his son to stay with him to ensure that Gu’s family is worry-free.

Gu Wenjing hesitated for a moment, and asked: “Then father and second sister really don’t care about it?”

Although his second sister is a concubine, he is not the original one, and has no relationship foundation with this sister. But people’s hearts are all made of meat, and the second sister often makes fan sets and other things for him and Cheng Yuhua’s couple, and also makes small shoes and socks for his son Gu Zhenghong.

The things are small, but they have come to mind, no matter whether she does these things with a purpose to please their husband and wife, at least the meaning is there.

Compared with the second girl who often has small gifts over, the married eldest girl and the young third girl have never seen anything that they voluntarily give on weekdays. Such a comparison makes it seem that the second girl can be a human being.

Gu Wenjing would not treat the second girl as a relative’s sister because of this trivial matter, but he was also willing to treat the second girl as the sister of a relative’s family, and could help as much as he could.

Gu Wenjing is a very responsible person, like Yuan Susu, even if he bothers her so much, he will take care of her because she is his cousin. He had little communication with him and hadn’t even said a few words. After getting married, he still asked Cheng Yuhua to give her a generous gift for her husband’s house.

But in fact, he only had due responsibility to them in his heart. It was a joke to talk about feelings, and he could even say that he didn’t care.

The difference between caring and not caring is that the second girl will be a human being, so Gu Wenjing cares a little bit, so he asked more questions in front of Ning Yuanhou today.

Ning Yuanhou saw that Gu Wenjing cared about his sister, and said in silence: “When the dust settles, just take good care of your second sister.”

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Because the second girl was making an indecent mess, she married the fourth prince to be a side concubine. Ning Yuanhou agreed, but she was very indifferent. Even the dowry to the second girl was still in accordance with the concubine’s supposed dowry. Some preparations were made separately, but no extra points were added because she was married to a prince.

The second girl realized that her dowry was a little less than her concubine sister, and she became angry with dissatisfaction, and was reprimanded by Ning Yuanhou mercilessly: “Long and orderly! Your sister is the eldest daughter, so naturally she has more dowry than you. You, a concubine, still want to crush your eldest sister and fail? Are there any rules?!”

The second girl felt wronged. She was married to a prince, and her sister was only married to a low-ranked scholar. Now she is a wife of a sixth-rank petty official. The two of them are married in different ways. Shouldn’t she get more dowry?

However, Ning Yuanhou would rather put on more dowries to let her change her partner, rather than willing her to marry the Fourth Prince. It’s a pity that she doesn’t understand this.

After Ning Yuanhou scolded her, she kept her foot restrained until the day of her marriage. Only then did she realize how dissatisfied her father was about her marriage.

And the fourth prince who thought that marrying her as a side concubine would be able to win over to Ningyuan Hou Mansion, after marrying him back, she saw her simple dowry prepared strictly in accordance with the rules of the second daughter of the Hou Mansion, and his face suddenly became dark. .

The fourth prince knew that he had married an abandoned son and wasted his side concubine quota. Every adult prince was named king by the emperor, and each prince’s side concubine had a fixed number, which was a weapon used to win over important officials. As a result, it was wasted on the second girl in the Hou Mansion for nothing. How could the four princes not be angry if they had not been able to win over to the Ningyuan Mansion.

He moved his anger to the second girl, but he didn’t dare to really challenge her. After all, she came from Ningyuan Hou Mansion. If he vented his anger on her, he might stand in his opponent’s side if he vented his anger on her. .

The prince who can occupy a place in the controversy is not a fool. Although they are proud of themselves, they know that when they should bear it, they must bear it. Even if the fourth prince was dissatisfied with the newly-married concubine and the ignorant Ningyuan Hou Mansion because of his calculation failure, he would not offend Ningyuan Hou Mansion at this critical moment.

Therefore, the second girl is not so favored in the palace at best. Without the scenery as imagined, her life is okay.

Ning Yuanhou asked Yuan to remind her when the second girl returned to the door during the three dynasties, and asked her to stay on top of the four princes’ mansion, and don’t mix things that shouldn’t be mixed, otherwise the Houfu would really let her go completely.

After experiencing the big change in the attitude of the four princes, the second girl knew that her natal family was her support. She did not dare not listen to what Ning Yuanhou and Yuan had said. The war spread.
