Chapter 64

The evening wind was blowing, and the door of the west warehouse creaked.

The harsh sound seemed extremely harsh in this silent night.

Mrs. Gu outside the west warehouse did not leave, she stared at the swinging warehouse door with sullen face and uncertain eyes, unable to calm down for a long time.

Suspicion, anger, irritability, and more headaches.

If the British Duke and Madam agreed to the conditions she offered today, but she couldn't get the jade pendant then, would the British Duke's government think that she was playing tricks on them on purpose? !

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Gu felt a tightness in her chest, holding her breath as if she was stuffed with something.

But now she has no other choice, so she can only coax Gu Yanfei nicely.

Over the years, Mrs. Gu has become accustomed to being the master of the Gu family. This feeling of being out of control made her feel very uncomfortable, and her face became even more gloomy.

"Go back to Cihe Hall."

She uttered four words coldly, and was carried back to the Cihe Hall sitting on her shoulders, silent all the way, feeling restless.

That night, Mrs. Gu tossed and turned on the bed and almost stayed awake all night.

For the next three days, she was in a bad mood, and she kept sending people to pay attention to Gu Yanfei,

Watching helplessly, Gu Yanfei spent a day sorting out all the things in the west storehouse, and built a small kitchen in Yuhengyuan. What's more, he even went outside to find someone to repair it in Yuhengyuan, bypassing the steward of the mansion. Fan, built a small gate in the backyard, directly connected to the racecourse in the northeast of the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Gu's endurance, which was being challenged by all kinds of behaviors, made her unbearable, but she could only bear it no longer.

People in the Hou's mansion are used to watching the direction of the wind. Seeing Gu Yanfei's flamboyant behavior, they only thought that she was favored by Mrs. Gu, so they also began to curry favor, and even the meals sent to Yuhengyuan were much more plentiful.

Mrs. Gu didn't have the heart to take care of miscellaneous things, and she was thinking about the jade pendant every day, but she couldn't do anything... Until the tenth day of November, early in the morning, a mother-in-law came to report: "Mrs. Tai, the British princess is here!"

Mrs. Gu couldn't help being startled, she didn't expect the British lady-in-law to visit without warning.

Mrs. Gu didn't have time to think about it, so she told Nanny Li, "You go and greet her in person."

Nanny Li hastily agreed.

In the end, Nanny Li hurried away, came back in a hurry, and said out of breath, "Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Ying brought a matchmaker... She said she came to make an appointment for the third girl."

What? ! Mrs. Gu's hand trembled, and the string of Buddhist beads in her hand almost slipped.

She originally thought that the Duke and Duchess of England came here for the jade pendant, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen!

Mrs. Gu tightly clenched the string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and the gas that was pent up in her heart almost condensed into a ball.

Obviously, the British government wants to make matters worse!

This time I'm afraid it can't be good.

Just as Mrs. Gu was worried, the British government has a big battle this time, and the matchmaker invited is Mrs. Yongnianbo Shizi. Not only that, they also came today with drums and gongs, carrying more than a dozen boxes of small wedding gifts, and Sprinkling money along the road, this way came to the gate of the Hou's Mansion amidst the crowds of the people in the capital, enclosing the Hou's Mansion with three floors inside and three floors outside.

Because the British government has a big battle, one spreads to ten, ten spreads to hundreds, and hundreds spreads to thousands... Within a long time, almost the whole capital knew about it.

The whole capital is talking about it:

"Look at this battle, the British government attaches great importance to this marriage."

"When the convoy from the British government passed by just now, I ran to take a closer look. Each box of small orders is heavy, and the poles are all bent."

"I followed here from the British government all the way today, and I just picked up twenty copper coins, which is enough for me to drink a pot of good wine."

"..."

In the lobby of a restaurant, there were no empty seats, and there was a lot of noise. The drinkers were chatting gossip while drinking.

These conversations below are also clearly passed into an elegant seat on the second floor.

Sitting by the window, Kang Wang Chuyou's eyes were burning with fierce flames, and he was holding a white porcelain wine glass tightly with his right hand, almost crushing the wine glass.

With a "click", the flagon in his hand was knocked down by his elbow, and the wine flowed out of the flagon and spilled on the table.

The little servant dressed as a servant hurried forward, cleaned up the table and replaced it with a new flagon.

In the private seat, the atmosphere is oppressive, and a needle can be heard.

Sitting opposite Chu You was a refined man in his twenties, seven or eight years old. The man was dressed in an indigo straight gown, and his hair was tied with a silver crown. He had a calm and introverted demeanor. It was Chu You's cousin Yuan Zhe.

Yuan Zhe picked up the wine glass, his eyes flickered, recalling the scenes of the British government's convoy passing through the street just now.

He took two sips of wine, and seeing Chu You's indignant expression, he understood something in his heart, and sighed faintly.

"Your Highness, is this 'Girl from the Gu family' the one you like?" Yuan Zhe asked straightforwardly.

The interests of their Yuan family and Kang Wang's interests are naturally aligned, so when facing Kang Wang, Yuan Zhe did not go around in circles and spoke out.

Chu You nodded silently, raised his head suddenly and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, his whole body was as tense as a fully stretched bow, which seemed to break at any moment.

At this moment, his heart changed from initial anger to panic, as if something in his heart was about to be poached away.

If Gu and Fang really sign the marriage contract in person today, does he still have a chance? !

It is conceivable that once the matter develops to this place, the queen mother will not agree to his marriage with Mao'er! .

The waves in Chu You's eyes were surging, and he squeezed the empty wine glass in his hand even tighter, wishing he could rush to Dingyuanhou's mansion right now.

However, Chu You still restrained his inner impulse.

He had already gone to Gu's house to propose a kiss, but Mrs. Gu didn't agree to him last time. He knew that Mrs. Gu valued and cared for Xie'er, and didn't want Xie'er to marry casually. And he can't make any promises to the Gu family...

This is not the Gu family's fault, it's all because of the Fang family's aggressiveness and their inability to persuade the Queen Mother.

Chu You picked up the jug, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it down again.

The cold wine dripped from the throat into the abdomen, burning in the stomach and intestines.

Chu You calmed down a little, turned his deep gaze to Yuan Zhe, and slowly but firmly said the decision he had considered for several days: "Cousin, I want Chu Yi to enter the court."

As soon as these words were uttered, even Yuan Zhe, who had always been indifferent to emotions, changed his expression slightly, and raised his eyebrows in confusion: "Your Highness?"

Chu You pursed her thin lips, her eyes became darker and deeper.

When the late emperor was alive, when he proposed to abolish the crown prince Chu Qi for the first time, he was strongly opposed by half of the courtiers on the grounds that "the crown prince must not be abolished without reason" and "the eldest son system". The civil servant of the imperial examination plan.

Because of the constraints of these poor and powerful officials, the first emperor did not hesitate to spend more than ten years in the layout of the court, implementing the "Nine Ranks of Zhongzheng System", and gradually strengthening the power of the aristocratic families in the court, in order to accumulate power for him to wait for the opportunity.

The late emperor's painstaking efforts for more than ten years were not in vain. Although Chu Qi is enthroned today, he has not been able to secure a stable position in the country.
