Chapter 189 Insights
Doctor Yu still felt it was a bit of a pity. After all, the Gu family was of the fifth rank and was a Beijing official.
Moreover, Gu Ning was the eldest son of their family. He was actually engaged in Shicheng. I guess his official position was not high.
No matter how high the official position is, if it is too remote, it would be better to look for it in the capital. The more I think about it, the more regrettable it seems.
Looking at Lin Wulang, he knew that the Gu family was quite polite and had a good family tradition.
As for the Gu family, his wife also told him that he could befriend them. After all, Gu Yao was also a character.
She has made Shicheng more prosperous with her own efforts. It can be said that her future achievements will definitely be more than what she has now.
The children of the Gu family thought it was still possible and they could become in-laws. After all, they were also from the Hou Mansion. I thought the Gu family would not refuse.
The more Doctor Yu thought about it, the better she felt. She became even more enthusiastic about Lin Wu, and she was quite happy with the few of them in Qi.
Others are too arrogant and look down on those who are lower than them.
The Gu family is only a fifth-rank family, and they only gave them the invitation because of Gu Yao.
I no longer paid attention to it after that, and even when I came to the Duke of Qi’s Mansion, I was just entertained and then forgot about it.
Most of them were returned only to officials above the fourth rank, as well as some nobles.
Doctor Yu was open-minded and upright, so he naturally looked down on them.
So I just admired the flowers with Lin Wulang in the pavilion, listened to other people's conversations, and even played chess. It was a very happy life.
By the afternoon, Lin Wulang was ready to go back. He had seen the world and made good friends, so there was no need for him to stay here any longer.
What's more, he didn't know many people here. When he left the Duke of Qi's Mansion, he made an appointment with Doctor Yu to meet next time.
He thought Doctor Yu was quite nice, a gentle and straightforward person who suited his taste.
There is no noble family with a contemptuous look. The two also agreed to meet again after a while.
Sitting in the carriage, Wang Qilang said: "Dad, I didn't expect that the Duke of Qi's Mansion is so wealthy. I guess their family is the richest among these nobles."
"It's impossible. There are other duke's mansions, not to mention that this one is quite lonely. It seems that many people want to marry into these noble families, but our family can't go there because their rules are different, and their food, clothing and expenses are different. We are a noble family, so we can join some of them, but we still don't want to get too close."
Bai Shushu and the others said hurriedly one day, "Dad, don't worry, we know what's going on and we definitely won't go. After all, we don't have any relationship."
Bai Shushu was shocked. He didn't expect that the first banquet he would attend before arriving in the capital would be at the Duke's Mansion.
I heard about some things in the Gu Mansion before and he could attend the banquet held at the Duke of Qi's Mansion, but I was very jealous.
After returning, Lin Wulang told Gu Yao what happened in the Duke of Qi's Mansion.
Gu Yao smiled and said, "It seems that Doctor Yu is a good person. You can get along with him more. The more you get along with him in the capital, the more you will naturally have connections with him. Although we don't form cliques, we can still make some friends. When our children grow up, they will definitely need to have connections with others, which is also indispensable."
Lin Wulang agreed: "Brother Yu also asked Aning. He also said that if he is not engaged, he would introduce him to a wife. However, I saw the behavior of those noble families today, and I think it is better to look for a match among scholars. We have never encountered such a situation. If we really try to marry someone who is rich and powerful, our children will not be very happy."
Gu Yao also agreed with this. Although she hoped that her children would have a good life, it did not mean that they had to marry too high to live a good life. Sometimes, Pan Huide was not worthy of the position.
After attending the banquet at the Duke of Qi's mansion, Lin Wulang and his friends were relieved. A few days later, Han Yuqing also returned with Gu Xing and his friends.
Gu Xing looked at Gu Ning and quickly ran over to him, chattering, "Brother, how was your visit to the Duke of Qi's Mansion? Tell me what was fun there. Is it nice and beautiful there? I've heard from others that the banquets held by noble families are really different from those held by other people."
Other people would also be beside Gu Ning, wanting Gu to tell them something.
This is a new story. It's boring in the capital. If there's no fun, they will be bored.
Gu Ning was naturally willing to tell them. In fact, he also felt that he had seen a lot of the world in the Duke of Qi's Mansion, and he also gained a lot of experience by being with those unmarried men.
This time he met many young men from upper class society in the capital, which made him feel that he had really seen too little before.
Gu Xing and the others were very surprised when they heard what Gu Ning said. Gu Xing smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the Duke of Qi's Mansion is so beautiful. It would be great if we could see it."
Gu Ning tapped his forehead and smiled: "You thought it was that easy? This time it was just an accident, but if there is a chance next time, Dad will definitely let you go too."
Gu Yue listened to Gu Yao's words and asked hurriedly: "Big brother, did you see Di Qing in the Duke of Qi's mansion? Di Qing is going to marry into the Duke of Qi's family. Did he come this time? Is he really good-looking?"
Gu Ning nodded: "Indeed, he is very handsome, heroic, and generous. You can tell at first glance that he is the Emperor."
While talking about what the Duke of Qi's Mansion had seen, Gu Yao thought for a moment and said, "I guess the Duke of Qi's Mansion will rely on this banquet to get into the eyes of the capital. I don't know what they should do next, but since they are the Imperial Minister, it should be more stable. After all, they will be relatives of the royal family in the future."
Lin Wulang whispered: "Aren't the twenty emperors not very favored? Do they want to rely on the emperor to return to the center of power?"
Lin Wulang is sometimes quite sensitive now. After all, he has been working with customers for more than ten years. It would be unacceptable if he did not make any progress.
Gu Yao shook her head and smiled, "No matter how unpopular he is, he is still the son of His Majesty. Although he is unpopular, he is also the youngest of the imperial court. Moreover, Qi Yan is indeed quite good. It is estimated that His Majesty saw his excellence and therefore married his son to him."
As the saying goes, no matter whether they are favored or not, they are all imperial ministers and have children of the royal family, so they are naturally superior to others. That is why Gu Yao felt that the move taken by the Duke of Qi's Mansion was quite right.
They were all slowly declining, and even going to be downgraded in rank by the next generation, but they didn't expect that their granddaughter would actually marry an imperial minister. They guessed that rank wouldn't be downgraded any further.
Unless the Crown Princess has a bad relationship with the Emperor after she ascends the throne, even if it is not the case, if Qi Yan can help, he will protect the wealth and title of the Duke's Mansion.
After listening to Gu Yao's explanation, Lin Wulang sighed: "It seems that even an unpopular emperor can make officials outside jealous. No wonder so many people want Shang Emperor's son."
"Okay, let's not talk about others. Have you sorted out Aning's dowry? Let's also set a date and let him get married as soon as possible to avoid any problems at that time."
