Farming and reading lady

After a few jokes, the atmosphere became much more relaxed and the two of them walked out of the tent chatting and laughing. There was a gentle breeze outside and the sunset was lingering in the sky.

"It's going to be another nice day tomorrow." Gu Xixian did some chest expansion exercises out of habit and felt much more relaxed.

"Well, life will always get better and better." Duanmu Tangchen also made a similar gesture. Some small habits influence each other.

The patrolling soldiers saw this and said to their companions with envy: "The general and the Anxi County Master have a really good relationship."

"Well, they are all like immortals." This is a bit exaggerated, but who made them claim to be from the same school? The disciples of the immortal master naturally have immortal aura.

The two men had amazing hearing ability, so naturally they heard what was said. They looked at each other and said, "The people here really respect the gods."

"Brother Chen, I'll be leaving first. Say hello to Uncle Yang for me. Come visit him next time when you have time." Gu Xixian waved his hand.

"Okay." Duanmu Tangchen also waved and watched her leave. He thought to himself: Fortunately, the general has not returned from his inspection, otherwise the little girl would be caught and talked to for a long time, and she might not be able to leave until dark.

General Yang didn't know if it was because he had no daughter, but he liked the girl very much. Besides nagging her all the time, he also liked to talk to her all the time, and he could talk for a long time. Even Xiao Yang said that Princess Anxi might be his father's biological daughter.

After returning to Guizong City, Gu Xixian sorted out the things here again. After making a plan of action, he led a group of people to climb onto Gui Duanming's back and headed for the capital. On the way, they naturally took a detour to Xiaoyuewan Village to pick up a family.

When the two families discussed the date and were ready to follow the procedure, the ancestor of the Gu family suddenly reminded Gu Xixian to inform the emperor. As a result, the emperor not only issued an order to grant the two a marriage, but also overbearingly asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to participate in the whole process, with the specifications close to those of the princess of the dynasty. This time, not only did Gu Xixian become a hands-off boss, like an outsider who only moved a pair of eyes, but even the other people in the Gu family were not happy.

What? Where is the matchmaker? The Imperial Household Department has it all taken care of. Accepting the bride price, asking for the bride's name, accepting the marriage proposal, accepting the betrothal gift, asking for the date, welcoming the bride, all you need to do is take care of it. The Imperial Household Department is a one-stop service.

On the day of the engagement, the streets of the capital were extremely lively, especially the road from the ancient house to the Yan Mansion, where fireworks were set off, which was even more dazzling than the Lantern Festival. However, the person involved, Gu Xixian, sat with the emperor in a large teahouse in the capital, looking out the window at the excitement outside.

"How is it? Is the master treating you well? Are you satisfied?" The emperor drank his tea leisurely, his tone full of pride.

Gu Xixian was of course very happy and kept thanking him. The emperor really understood her and gave her real things. Of course she was satisfied: "Thank you, sir. You are such a kind person."

Send a good guy card, the good guy card is invincible.

The emperor smiled even more happily: "When you get married, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs come. I guarantee that it will be the center of attention."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I dare not compare myself with the princess." Gu Xixian quickly declined. She didn't want to be the target of the ministers' attacks again, even though she was the most popular. Besides, there were many people who prepared a dowry for her.

The emperor was unwilling: "It's OK if I say so. What's wrong with the princess? Can the princess be accepted as a disciple by the immortal master? Does the princess have a divine beast to ride? Which princess can compare with you?"

Gu Xixian... the stalk of the Immortal Master cannot be removed. The Emperor praises her so much, I wonder if those princesses are making vampires for her behind her back.

"It's settled." The emperor unilaterally confirmed the matter, but then sighed, "Alas, when I first saw you, you were still a little girl, but in the blink of an eye you have grown into a big girl, and you are already old enough to get married. The heart of an old father like me..."

Gu Xixian... Your Majesty, how can my father and my adoptive father feel when you say such things?

"I will always remember your love and care." What else could she say? She couldn't just take back the kindness that was offered to her by others, could she? She had to accept the fathers' feelings.

The emperor struck the snake while the stick was still there, and taught a little about "woman's virtue": "Girl, even if you are married, you must not forget our great cause. A good woman must obey three things: obey her own will, obey her own talents, and obey her own needs. The four virtues are to please herself, to comfort herself, to use her heart, and to have her original intention. A good woman is not afraid of not having a husband. If the Yan family locks you up in the backyard, you must come and tell me."

Oh, this is a classic saying, it suits her heart so well, she leaned closer and said in a flattering manner: "Master, how about you give me an imperial decree, saying that I want to do business according to the imperial decree, and no one can stop me?"

The emperor tilted his head and thought, it seems that it is not impossible. The little girl is his private treasury money bag, how can he waste it in the backyard? But he did not agree immediately, but said: "I will think about this matter carefully when I go back."

"Okay." Gu Xixian responded crisply. Too much is as bad as too little. Looking at the emperor's expression, it is almost certain that it will succeed.

The two of them were whispering to each other, gossiping a lot. Xia Zhihe, who was serving beside them, had an admiring look in her eyes that could rival the little sun. Their master was really amazing. Look at the way she was chatting and laughing, so casually and naturally. Among all the noble ladies in the capital, which one could have the face of their master in front of the emperor?

The engagement process went smoothly and everyone was very happy. But the emperor was a "considerate" person. As soon as the engagement ceremony was over, he asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate an auspicious date for the wedding, which was the sixth day of the first lunar month five months later. This made the Gu and Tong families, who had originally planned to keep their daughter for two more years, almost break into the Golden Palace to protest and ask the emperor what he was thinking.

It was the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo who came out to appease the anger of the group: "Your Majesty, this is all good intentions. Don't be so impulsive. The girl is just married off. It doesn't mean you will never see her again. Be easy-hearted and calm down."

This is the truth, but people still privately speculate whether the emperor is an old undercover agent of the Yan family.

Emperor: I am more wronged than Dou E!

The matter was settled. After finishing the engagement, everyone was actively involved in the marriage. Gu Xixian was still the most idle one. He visited the east and west all day long, and ran between the capital and the northern border. However, it was hard for Gui Duanming, who was on the road all day. Occasionally, he protested, but was ruthlessly suppressed by his new master: "Old turtle, look how fat you are. I am giving you a chance to exercise. Otherwise, if you accumulate too much fat, no female turtle will like you."

Gui Duanming: I just want to be a fat man.

Gu Xixian: No, protests are useless. My mount must be handsome.

The tearful Gui Duanming continued to carry her back and forth. Alas, please be considerate of the poor child who has a fear of marriage.

That’s right, Gu Xixian has been in a bad mood recently.
