"Actually, your father is just apologizing for being a bad person. After all, Yang Qiong is your little uncle's sister. If you don't look at monks and Buddha's faces, no matter what, as long as Yang Qiong is not outrageous, this title must be the big family. As the saying goes, a wife and a good husband are not bad. If Yang Qiong cannot stand up, the trouble will be only your uncle and a few children."

Gu Shuixiu had a very clear view of it, otherwise she wouldn't have said anything like that to Yang Qiong before.

Dong Qinyan knew the urgency of this matter, and she had the same idea as Gu Shuixiu, so she naturally would not say anything more.

The Gu family returned to the mansion given by Dong Chenghu, and the imperial edict arrived.

Gu Mingde led his family to kneel in the main hall to receive the order, but he was guessing in his heart what the imperial edict was saying.

The person who read the imperial edict was Dong Chenghu's confidant Eunuch Zhao, who knew that Gu Mingde was the uncle of the country. The empress was so favored, so she naturally did not dare to neglect it. She said politely: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered that Gu's parents' family had a daughter, Gu Huijun, who was dignified and virtuous, beautiful and wise, and had a great demeanor. Now she gave her marriage to my adopted son Zhang Junchi, and ordered her to get married on a date. I admire this!"

"I thank you for your kindness!" After Gu Mingde and his family thanked him, he took the imperial edict with his hands tremblingly, full of joy. He knew that Zhang Junchi was a child, and that this child was a disciple of Shen Shikang, and he was very optimistic about him. Now that Dong Chenghu issued an order to marry, it was simply a gift to him.

Gu Mingde was so happy that he invited Eunuch Zhao and others to come into the house for tea. Gu Huijun ordered someone to give some rewards to Eunuch Zhao and others.

Eunuch Zhao smiled even more sincerely, rejected her, and sat down, and said respectfully: "Congratulations to Uncle Yong'an. I only now know that the emperor has only such an adopted son. Now he is engaged to the eldest lady of the mansion. He is a good match and is very worthy!"

"Yes, yes, Eunuch Zhao said! I grew up with Junchi's child. He is a child who is good at literature and martial arts. He is good at anything. He looks like a handsome talent. He is very compatible with our Huijun, very well!" Gu Daniu also responded with a smile on the side.

Only Yang Qiong kept her eyes down, her hands were cold and a little helpless, but she didn't speak, and no one noticed her strangeness.

When Gu Huijun was doing some tricks outside, he nodded to Eunuch Zhao after entering the door. Then he stood behind Yang Qiong, and every move showed proper upbringing. Eunuch Zhao couldn't help but nodded and admired.

After Eunuch Zhao left, Yang Qiong seemed to be a deflated ball, and her body suddenly softened. She tightly held the hand of her daughter beside her, and her lips were trembling and could not say a word.

Gu Huijun noticed her strangeness and asked with concern: "Mom, what's wrong with you? But are you feeling uncomfortable?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yang Qiong.

Yang Qiong shook her head with a pale face and said weakly: "I'm fine, just take a rest."

"Old guy, are you dissatisfied with Huijun's marriage?" Zhao knew more about it than Gu Mingde and others. Later, Gu Shuixiu mentioned Gu Huijun and Zhang Junchi's marriage to her. However, she felt that the child's mother was there and should not make a decision privately, so she pushed this matter to Yang Qiong. She thought Yang Qiong would respond happily, but there was no sound afterwards. Now, seeing Yang Qiong's reaction again, Zhao would inevitably not think of it.

Yang Qiong was so worried that Zhao's words made her face even pale.

Zhao's face also sank. He looked at Gu Erniu's family and said angrily to them: "Eniu, take your wife and children back to rest first! Mom and your father and others will talk to them for a while."

Gu Erniu knew that the marriage was given to the big house and had nothing to do with their family, and the one who had problems now was his sister-in-law. It was not appropriate for them to stay here to listen to their parents' lessons, so he took the family out of the main hall with his family.

Without Gu Erniu's family, Zhao immediately became angry, "Are you dissatisfied with this marriage? The Zhang family used to be a prominent family. If your elder sister-in-law had a promising prospect, our family would have only had mud legs and could not match it. Now the emperor finally gave the marriage to him, what else do you want?"

Gu Daniu was also confused, but his reaction was not as intense as Zhao's. "You are dissatisfied with that child of Junchi? You tell me, if it is really bad for that child, we can go to the Queen to plead with him."

Gu Daniu is still very protective of Yang Qiong. Over the years, Yang Qiong has taken care of his shop and children at home. Because he has a lot of things in the yamen, he has never taken care of him. Gu Daniu always thinks that Yang Qiong's credit for his children to be so outstanding.

Yang Qiong faced the dissatisfaction, questioning, or caring eyes, and his mouth was bitter. After a while, he could not say anything, he could only murmur weakly: "I just think Linhai County is too far away and I can't bear to leave my daughter to go so far."

When Gu Daniu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him: "I thought what happened! Our family is different from before. Even if Huijun married into other people's families, it is impossible for him to come back to see us every now and then. Besides, what should you do if you marry an official who is out of place and go to a farther place?"

Yang Qiong was speechless by Gu Daniu, but Zhao knew that this was not the main reason and said in a deep voice: "Our first arrived in Jiankang, we didn't know anything, and we didn't have the right to deal with etiquette. I will ask the Queen to ask the eldest daughter-in-law to send a nanny, and we will often follow the eldest son to give him some education."

Gu Daniu was stunned. He didn't know why his mother was involved in this matter. He knew Yang Qiong's temperament and was reluctant to let her suffer such hardship. Moreover, Yang Qiong's face had completely turned pale. Gu Daniu couldn't bear to force her like this.

But before he could speak, Gu Mingde had already spoken, "Your mother is doing this well. Big Niu. You will inherit the position of Yong'an Bo in the future. If the eldest daughter-in-law cannot support this family, your position will not be stable. Even the children of Donglin will be affected. For your future, this matter will be decided."

Gu Daniu was so arrogant that he didn't know how to ask for Yang Qiong. Although Gu Huijun next to him felt sorry for his own mother, he thought that she was going to get married in the end, so he was so cruel and silent that he didn't say a word.

Yang Qiong didn't know how she got back to the room. As soon as she entered the room, she lay on the table and started crying.

Gu Daniu was shocked. Yang Qiong had always been strong and heartless, but now he was crying like this, but he had never seen her before.

Gu Daniu quickly comforted her, "Today, my parents said it was heavy, but they were also for our own good. No matter that, you have to support our family for the sake of the children and let outsiders see our family's ability, right?"
