Lin Weixi found out after she died that she was just the female supporting character in a novel about concubines.
Gu Huiyan glanced at the county magistrate. This county magistrate was generally practical, but his official language was consistent. Gu Huiyan tightened the reins, calmed the agitated Zhaoxue, and said, "No, let's find another house."
Gu Huiyan's words were plain, but the county magistrate immediately sensed a danger in them. Cold sweat broke out on the county magistrate's back. He did not dare to make his own decisions anymore, and bowed his head and responded: "I obey, your lord. Please wait for a moment."
Lin Weixi felt the carriage stop. Although she was the only one in the carriage, she still sat calmly and did not lift the curtain out of curiosity. Not long after, the carriage continued to move. After Lin Weixi turned a few corners, a clicking sound came from under the carriage, and then Zhou Maocheng's voice sounded from outside: "Girl Lin, get out of the car."
In fact, according to Lin Weixi's years of upbringing, her figure and appearance cannot be seen by men other than her father and brother, and the carriage must stop at the second door. It is very rude to get off the car on the street. But now this is just a small town, and Lin Weixi no longer has his original identity. In this case, there is no need to pay attention to it.
Lin Weixi picked up her skirt and got out of the car. She looked up and found that they had stopped in front of a second-level house. Lin Weixi was a little unsure of King Yan's thoughts. What did King Yan mean?
Lin Weixi glanced at King Yan, while Gu Huiyan stood in front of everyone as usual. He was listening to his subordinate's report. When he noticed Lin Weixi's gaze, he raised his hand to stop his subordinate's words, and then nodded gently to Lin Weixi: "Go in."
Lin Weixi looked around and pointed at herself in surprise. Gu Huiyan nodded, and Lin Weixi was flattered and walked in first. Gu Huiyan followed her, followed by the rest of the people.
They only lived here temporarily, so Gu Huiyan just bought a two-story house. The second entrance was reserved for Lin Weixi alone. Gu Huiyan lived in front with his cronies. If something happened, they would be alarmed. Lin Weixi's safety was unquestionable.
Lin Weixi basically had no luggage when he left home this morning. She had lived in Aunt Lin's house for six years, but she had very little luggage. The only thing holding her back were some letters sent to her by Lin Yong. Lin Weixi had packed these up a long time ago and was ready to leave at any time. She didn't want to see Aunt Lin's family again, so she didn't go back. Instead, she asked Zhou Maocheng to go to Aunt Lin's house and fetch her luggage.
After all, Aunt Lin is Lin Weixi's aunt, and she has adopted the original owner for six years. Lin Weixi scolded her fiercely, but in fact she didn't know what to do with them, and what to do with them. Lin Weixi didn't intend to pursue the money that Aunt Lin had withheld, so she just sent it as a beggar to do good deeds. However, what Li Da did yesterday was really disgusting to Lin Weixi.
Lin Weixi has grown up so big, no matter as Gao Xi or as Lin Weixi, he has never suffered such humiliation. She was furious, but now that she had no identity, she couldn't do anything to Li Da, and she didn't know who to turn to for help. Lin Weixi thought about it all the way, but in the end he could only sulk with himself.
Lin Weixi walked to the inner courtyard. When he entered the door, Zhou Maocheng took advantage of the fact that the people around him were not paying attention and quietly said to Lin Weixi: "Daughter Lin, don't be afraid. I beat that boy severely last night. I will go get it today." The whole family was as frightened as quails when they were trying to pick up their stuff, and they didn't even dare to fart."
It was obviously very vulgar words, but Lin Weixi burst out laughing. She stopped laughing and said seriously: "Thank you, Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Maocheng was so excited when he was called "Uncle Zhou" that he secretly sighed that it was indeed better to have a daughter. Listening to this charming voice and polite conversation, she was much better than those boys in his family.
Zhou Maocheng looked at Lin Weixi and asked, "Daughter Lin, it's not that uncle is taking advantage of you. Uncle Zhou really likes you as a girl. It just so happens that there are a few incompetent boys in my family who are your age." They are about the same age, and they are not married yet. Do you want to marry into Uncle Zhou’s family as your daughter-in-law? If you are willing, whichever Uncle Zhou you like will marry you!"
Lin Weixi was smiling, but when he heard these words, his smile gradually stiffened: "Uncle Zhou, thank you for your kindness, no need..."
"You're welcome. If you are willing, those little brats in our family would be eager to do so."
"No need..."
After bidding farewell to Zhou Maocheng who looked regretful, Lin Weixi turned around and walked into the house. After entering the house, she let out a long sigh.
Does she look so worried about getting married? Why did everyone want to marry her, and Zhou Maocheng actually planned to intimidate his own son.
Lin Weixi slowly sat down beside the embroidered pier. She looked at the tiny cracks on the pear wood round table, slightly lost in thought.
The King of Yan rushed back to the capital in a hurry, probably because of Gu Chengyao. Yes, she was blinded by her family background in the past. She really thought that she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was also a good housekeeper, so when people said she was good, they really liked her. But once she broke away from the halo of her family background, her true colors were revealed.
Lin Weixi smiled bitterly when she thought of this. Thinking about it, if she were a man, she would not like a woman like herself who was domineering based on her family background and her grandmother. So, if she was really grateful to Zhou Maocheng, she couldn't bring harm to others by marrying him.
Zhou Maocheng watched Lin Weixi enter the house with a look of regret, and then returned to the front with a long sigh. Gu Huiyan was dealing with urgent matters in the temporarily packed study room. Hearing Zhou Maocheng sigh, he looked up and asked casually: "Why are you doing this?"
"I think that girl from the Lin family is smart and has a sharp tongue. She will definitely be a family-building material if she gets married in the future. I shamelessly acted as a matchmaker for my sons, but she refused. Alas, even though I had expected it. , but it’s still a pity..."
Gu Huiyan chuckled softly. That girl was not ordinary smart, she was very courageous and ambitious. If it weren't for a man with some ability, he might not be able to conquer her. Therefore, Gu Huiyan was not surprised that Zhou Maocheng was rejected, because just yesterday, he only mentioned a few words and was bumped by this girl.
But talking about Lin Weixi's family, Gu Huiyan remembered another thing. His daughter-in-law, whom he personally wrote to Princess Shoukang to marry, died of illness at the end of last year.
Gu Huiyan still remembered that this daughter-in-law's name was Gao Xi. To be fair, Gu Huiyan was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law. It's just a pity that fate doesn't exist, and you can't force it after all.
Mr. Shen has been dead for ten years, and the old princess has also died of illness for a long time. There are only two men left in Prince Yan's mansion, Gu Huiyan and Gu Chengyao. There was no hostess at home, so the marriage between father and son was delayed year by year. Gu Huiyan himself did not want to remarry, and of course he was too lazy to worry about Gu Chengyao's marriage, so Gu Huiyan was surprised when Gu Chengyao suddenly sent him a half-fish jade pendant and asked him to find the owner of the jade pendant.
Gu Chengyao is only sixteen years old, but he already knows how to find a wife for himself? Gu Huiyan didn't have any idea about family background. Anyway, no matter what family background the woman was in, it would be the same in front of their family. Since Gu Chengyao liked her, there was no need for him as a father to pour cold water on her. However, at that time, Gu Huiyan was still quelling the rebellion of the Duohulati tribe. He had no time to check a woman's jade pendant, so he wrote a handwritten letter and sent it back to the capital together with the jade pendant, asking Princess Shoukang to find the woman.
The eldest princess Shoukang is Gu Huiyan's aunt. When the old King Yan was not a vassal, she was taken care of by Princess Shoukang. Therefore, the old King Yan and the old princess always cared about Princess Shoukang's friendship. Later, when Gu Huiyan suddenly emerged and his power greatly surpassed the Shoukang Princess's Mansion, Gu Huiyan did not cut off his contacts with the Princess Shoukang's Mansion. The two families were quite close, and Gu Huiyan was very polite to his aunt.
Gu Huiyan himself had no time, so he naturally entrusted the search for the missing person to Princess Shoukang. The eldest princess Shoukang has been living in the capital, and she comes into contact with many female family members on weekdays. It is more appropriate for the eldest princess to look for someone than for Gu Huiyan to come in person. However, Gu Huiyan did not expect that as soon as he sent the letter away, without wasting any time, the eldest princess Shoukang sent a reply. Along with the letter, there was another half of a fish-shaped jade pendant.
Oh, what a coincidence. The woman Gu Chengyao was looking for happened to be the granddaughter of Princess Shoukang. After receiving the reply, without saying a word, Gu Huiyan immediately took out his seal of King Yan and sincerely proposed to marry Gao Xi, the granddaughter of the eldest princess, on behalf of his son.
What happened next was the well-known marriage between the British Duke's Palace and the Prince of Yan's Palace. The two families were united and happy. Gu Huiyan settled a matter on his mind, and from then on he concentrated on dealing with the war in the northwest, and no longer paid attention to the affairs of the palace.
Gu Huiyan knew the situation of the eldest princess Shoukang's palace very well. Princess Shoukang was favored before her death, and her husband was the most popular girl in the Chengwu period. Once the consort married a princess, he was not allowed to enter the officialdom again, and the consort Shoukang was still a scholar with little foundation. It was indeed an honor to marry a princess, but the future of the princess and the concubine could not be compatible. , and Princess Shoukang has a slightly stronger personality.
Later, the only daughter of the eldest princess Shoukang, Wei, was influenced by her parents' relationship style. After marrying into the British government, she refused to soften her figure and suffered many disadvantages as a concubine. Wei's daughter Gao Xi disobeyed her mother and was very competitive since she was a child. She wanted to be the best among her sisters and even her brothers in everything she did. In Gu Huiyan's view, a strong woman is not a negative point. On the contrary, if Gu Chengyao really likes that kind of elegant and weak woman, Gu Huiyan will have to worry about the huge family fortune of Prince Yan's palace. Moreover, Gao Xi, a junior, lived in Princess Shoukang's Mansion for most of the year. With the eldest princess Shoukang personally teaching him, Gu Huiyan was very relieved.
However, he did not expect that Gu Huiyan had not paid attention to the affairs of the palace for a while, and when he received the letter again, it turned out to be the news of Gao Xi's death.
Although saying this is very disrespectful to the deceased, but... it's too fast, right? What particularly made Gu Huiyan frown was the message that Gu Chengyao handed over along with the obituary of the deceased. The British government intended to marry Gao Xi's concubine Gao Ran as a sequel. He has agreed.
Gu Huiyan said nothing at the time, but everyone present knew that King Yan was very unhappy about the prince's continued marriage.
Gu Huiyan didn't know why he thought of his ex-daughter-in-law because of Lin Weixi. Zhou Maocheng saw that Gu Huiyan's face was slightly gloomy, and his unspoken complaints suddenly turned around and swallowed. He looked at Gu Huiyan's expression and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, is it the prince who has sent you a letter?"
Gu Huiyan sighed imperceptibly: "A letter has just been sent from the capital. His marriage to the third lady of the British government is scheduled for next month."
Lin Weixi made a special trip to thank King Yan. She happened to hear this sentence when she walked past the window.
Gu Chengyao and Gao Ran's marriage will be next month.
Lin Weixi came to her senses, she had never heard this voice before, why was it outside her door? However, even if Lin Weixi was angry, she was convinced that King Yan would ensure her safety, so she didn't think much and stood up to open the door.
Standing outside the door was a woman with her hair combed, she was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she looked like she was dressed as a maid. The visitor was obviously surprised when she saw Lin Weixi. Then she realized her rudeness and quickly bowed her head and saluted: "Miss Lin, this servant is Wan Yue. I came to take care of the **** the order of the prince."
Lin Weixi looked at the visitor and his eyes moved slightly: "Did King Yan ask you to come?"
"Yes."
Lin Weixi pursed her lips, wondering what King Yan meant. The unpleasantness just now was actually Lin Weixi's fault. From a worldly perspective, King Yan did this for her own good, and it was Lin Weixi who didn't know how to appreciate it. But Lin Weixi herself was still debating whether to go over and apologize, but King Yan sent someone over in an instant, as if he didn't take what happened just now into consideration at all. Lin Weixi should have been relieved that King Yan didn't care, but in fact she felt very complicated. This made Lin Weixi feel that she was completely irrelevant in the eyes of King Yan, as if she was just an ignorant person who needed to be placed.
