Poor Lady Chapter 66: Beautiful wedding
Gu family.
"Master, two more commercial firms have stopped supplying us." A shopkeeper replied.
"Well, I see, shopkeeper Xu, you posted a notice that from today onwards, our products will be sold in limited quantities every day, and the price of each product will be increased by 10%. Find a way." Gu Jinyun fiddled with abacus, and replied without raising his head.
Shopkeeper Xu was amazed at first, and then admired. The owner actually came up with a countermeasure in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, there were frequent incidents in the Gu family's store, and it was obvious that someone deliberately targeted the Gu family.
After the shopkeepers left, Father Gu wondered, "Who is plotting against the Gu family?"
Gu Jinyun didn't answer, and continued to make calculations.
"Son, tell me the truth, what's the situation with the Gu family's store?" This family business was established by Gu Jinyun, and Gu's father never cared about it, but now that bad news is coming one after another, he is inevitably worried.
Gu Jinyun drew up his pen a few times for the last account, raised his head and said, "Father, don't worry, it's fine."
Losses are definitely inevitable, but they will not hurt the muscles and bones. A long time ago, he transferred important industries outside the capital, such as textiles and wine making, which are quite profitable. The ones that were damaged were all shops that did not have enough supply sources, and it was not a big problem to produce this one.
"I'm relieved if you say it's okay." Gu's father knew that Gu Jinyun would never slap his face swollen to look fat, and if he said it was okay, then he must be okay.
Gu Jinyun looked out the window with deep eyes. In order to prevent the opponent's hand from getting longer and longer, it is time for him to take action. Although the Gu family has no power, they can borrow their strength.
Seal the house.
"Zhan'er, do you know that there are inspectors making unannounced visits recently." Feng Chenglv looked at his son and said solemnly, "I don't know what the emperor plans to do?"
"Inspector?" Feng Zhan raised his eyebrows.
"Before the investigation turmoil three years ago started, the emperor also sent supervisors to investigate the officials' wealth." Feng Chenglv said, "You were not in Wei Kingdom at the time, so you don't know the whole story. I'm worried that this is a new story. A sign of a round of investigation, none of the famous families in the capital is completely innocent, as long as there is a heart to investigate, basically no one can escape unscathed."
"What is Dad's plan?"
Feng Chenglu pondered for a moment, then said: "You should restrain yourself recently, go to Liu's house and Luo's house more often, and find out what they say. Some things are hard to say as a father, but you can."
"Got it." Feng Zhan smiled indifferently. It's a pity that I can't have fun with the Gu family recently.
The Qi family.
Qi Surong also heard about the situation of the Gu family and the Feng family from the Digital Gang. Because she was mainly paying attention to the movements of the two families during this period, she knew exactly what Feng Zhan had done to the Gu family. Most of the Gu family's shops in the capital were in trouble, but fortunately Gu Jinyun handled it well, otherwise they might just have to close their doors.
What Qi Surong is most afraid of is to bring trouble to the people around him, but it turns out to be counterproductive. Now the Qi family is just ordinary people who have no name as a family, and most of the people Qi Surong befriends have not yet made a fortune and their status is not high, so they cannot provide help to the Gu family. From the day he almost lost his body to now being restrained everywhere, Qi Surong is clearly aware of his own weakness. Living in the capital, if he cannot completely draw a line with the powerful, he must get their support as much as possible.
Thinking for several days, Qi Surong finally decided to write a letter to Xu Chen for help.
Mr. Xu's reply letter arrived soon, and there was only one word on it: Marry.
"Marry?" Qi Surong frowned. Mr. Xu meant that she should marry Gu Jinyun as soon as possible, but wouldn't this add fuel to the fire? The troubles of the Gu family were originally caused by her. If she married Jin Yun at this time, the consequences would be really unpredictable.
However, Mister will never be aimless, such a proposal must have a deep meaning, but I still can't figure it out for the time being.
Is it to marry or not to marry?
"Hey, sir, can't you go into more detail? Let me ponder it here..." Qi Surong paused, a little depressed, "He must have done it on purpose."
A few days later, Qi Surong wrote to ask Gu Jinyun if he would like to advance their marriage.
Gu Jinyun's reply was very straightforward. On the second day after receiving the letter, he asked his father to bring the matchmaker to Qi's house to discuss the date of marriage. In the previous two engagements, although the marriage certificates were exchanged, they did not go to the official office to sign the agreement, so it is relatively convenient to change the wedding date, as long as the matchmaker chooses another auspicious date.
After the two discussed, they finally set the date of marriage to be one month later. The first person to receive this news was Mrs. Feng, and she was the matchmaker in name for the marriage between Gu and Qi's family. However, she concealed this matter from Feng Zhan, and Feng Zhan didn't get the news until the two families started distributing wedding invitations.
The marriage of the two families was brought forward, which caught him by surprise. He originally planned to hold the wedding on the same day as them, and then find an opportunity to change the bride, bring Qi Surong into Feng's family, and let Liu Qian'er marry Gu Jinyun. Afterwards, he will receive the emperor's order to leave Wei Kingdom with Qi Surong, and go on an envoy to a foreign country. Neither the Liu family nor the Feng family dared to speak out about this matter, and the Gu family would not risk offending the two families by disclosing the inside story. After waiting a year or two, they can only accept the reality.
Feng Zhan is not worried that the Liu family and the Gu family will turn against each other. The two families are in the same spirit, even if they hold grudges in their hearts, they will not destroy the harmony on the surface.
It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes, Feng Zhan crushed the wine glass in his hand, the corner of his mouth raised: "It seems that you chose the first path."
On the wedding day, the Gu family was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and firecrackers were fired.
The guests arrived as scheduled and congratulated one after another. Gu Jinyun invited mostly business friends, and they thought it was just an ordinary people's wedding, but when they entered Gu's house, they discovered that there were many high-ranking officials and dignitaries among the guests. Zhongshu Shilang, Duwei General, Zhongcheng Song Boyi (husband of Zhuang Qiao'e), Simen Doctor Zhang Zhihuai (husband of Miss Zhang), Yingshuge Xu Chen, official doctor Zhong Jiyun, etc., although many officials did not Arrived at the scene, but sent someone to present a congratulatory gift. The master of ceremonies' roll call aroused the amazement of the guests, including Lord Gongchi, Gu Yin, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and He Zhe (a friend of Gu Jinyun), a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.
It didn't stop there that they were surprised. The officiant of this wedding was the former Prime Minister Wang Qinghe! Wang Qinghe is the elder of the three dynasties. Although he has retired, his influence is still unmatched.
What's going on? A civilian wedding, unexpectedly invited so many dignitaries?
In fact, after the Gu and Qi families confirmed the wedding date, Qi Surong received the guest list from Xu Chen. Seeing this list, she immediately understood why Xu Chen asked her to "marry". The only thing I didn't expect was that Wang Qinghe would condescend to officiate the marriage for the two families. Qi Surong didn't think that he could "buy" him with a bag of tea, but who had such a big face to invite this big Buddha?
The wedding has not yet begun, but the Gu family is already full of guests and the atmosphere is warm.
With a burst of gongs and shouts, the bride arrives in a colorful car. Dressed in a groom's uniform, Gu Jinyun led Qi Surong into the gate of Gu's house, leading the colored silk.
The firecrackers blared, and the bouquet boy cleared the way, crossed the dirty brazier, and walked into the wedding hall.
There is an incense table in the middle of the wedding hall, on which sit Gu Jinyun's father and the officiant Wang Qinghe.
Praisers shouted: "At the ceremony in the temple, the bride and groom are invited to kneel before the incense table, offer incense, and kowtow; second incense, then kowtow; third incense, third kowtow. Get up!"
Immediately, Gu Jinyun and Qi Surong came to the seat, and the praisers shouted: "One bow to heaven and earth... Two bows to the high hall... Husband and wife bow to each other, get up, after the ceremony, send them to the bridal chamber."
The hall immediately burst into warm applause.
The boy holding flowers came forward and was about to lead the new couple into the new house, when suddenly he heard a servant shouting from outside the door: "Aluoba envoys come to congratulate you."
Aroba envoy? Everyone was stunned, and then they saw several foreigners striding in, bowing and saluting, and one of them said: "I am Aluoba's envoy Ole, and I am here to visit your country by the queen's order."
Wang Qinghe got up and said: "Welcome all the envoys to visit, Mr. Ou Lai is here to attend the wedding banquet?"
"Exactly." Ole said with a smile, "One year ago, I had the honor to get the snow shadow screen embroidered by Miss Yunrong, an embroiderer of your country. Our Queen likes it very much, so this time, the Queen Special instructions, give Miss Yunrong a small gift in return."
As they clapped their hands, five attendants behind them immediately stepped forward, each holding a brocade box in their hands.
"Not long after we arrived in the capital, we happened to hear the news that Ms. Yunrong was getting married, so we came here specially to present a congratulatory gift." There was a burst of wonder.
The first brocade box contains a jewel ornament. The base is made of gold and is in the shape of a petal. The spar is crystal clear, and under the reflection of candlelight, it is radiant.
The second brocade box contains a gold-encrusted porcelain vase. The body of the vase is clean and flawless, the mouth of the vase is inlaid with beautiful gold patterns, and there is a golden carved vase ear at each end. Beautiful shape, full of dignity.
The third brocade box contains a mirror. The mirror surface is smooth and clear, the mirror holder is made of gold, engraved with complicated patterns, a large gemstone is inlaid on the top, bottom, left, and right sides, and there are nearly a hundred small crystals dotted around it.
The fourth brocade box contains an exquisite jewelry box containing a pair of gold bracelets.
The fifth brocade box contains a black pearl necklace, inlaid with a total of one hundred black pearls, no matter the size or the color, they are all exactly the same.
What kind of gift is this? Anything is priceless. Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't believe this sudden gift besides being envious.
Fortunately, Wang Qinghe was tactful and quickly calmed down the scene.
Qi Surong said to Gu's father, Wang Qinghe and Gu Jinyun: "The envoy is here today, can Surong personally thank you?"
"It should be so." Father Gu and Wang Qinghe looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Gu Jinyun stretched out his hand, and slowly lifted Qi Surong's hijab.
The guests all stretched their necks, wanting to see what the bride looks like.
Qi Surong turned around, flicking the bead on her forehead, revealing her pretty face in front of everyone, her brows were smoky, her cheeks were bright red, she was dressed in a gorgeous wedding dress, with a long skirt that dragged the floor, and a slender waist, making her look noble And glamorous.
She stepped forward in small steps, bent down and saluted: "Su Rong thanked Her Majesty for the generous gift, and hoped that Her Majesty would be in good health."
"Miss's blessing, I will definitely bring it." Ou Lai also returned a salute, and praised, "I didn't expect Master Yunrong to be such a young and beautiful woman. I am very grateful to be able to see her beauty." Honor."
"Your Excellency is ridiculous." Qi Surong smiled, "Surong has married a woman, from now on she is no longer 'Miss Qi', but 'Madam Gu'."
"Haha, good, Mrs. Gu."
Qi Surong's astonishing appearance and demeanor without surprise left a deep impression on everyone.
After this wedding, the Gu and Qi families became famous.
Madam Feng was the matchmaker for the wedding, Wang Qinghe presided over the marriage, many dignitaries and dignitaries were present, and at the end there was a priceless gift from Queen Aloba. It can be described as taking the limelight, which is an eye-opener.
