Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Seeing him so serious, Mother Gu was a little stunned, "It's just a letter..."

"That's right, it's just a letter," Shen Nankui smiled lightly, "but this letter can attract students from all over the world to come and get admitted. Whoever has this letter will have a better chance of passing the exam than others."

Mother Gu was a little unconvinced, "Can a letter be so powerful?"

The head of the village sighed, "More than that!"

He looked excited, "Who is Hanlin Bachelor? Not only can he preside over the Spring Examination, but even the examination questions may be set by him. If Yichuan can get his guidance, he will definitely pass the exam next year!"

The headman's son was also studying. Although he was not as successful as Gu Yichuan, he also passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. He only regretted that his son got married too early, otherwise he really wanted to marry the girl from the Shen family into his own family.

Some of the guests were Gu Yichuan's classmates. They knew the importance of this letter better than others, and their eyes were burning with excitement.

"Sister-in-law Gu, can you lend me this letter so I can take a look?"

"You haven't gotten married yet! What do you call sister-in-law? Miss Shen, why don't you lend it to me?"

For a moment, Shen Nankui was surrounded by people.

Seeing the chaos, the village head said to Gu's mother, "Why are you standing there? Why don't you apologize and invite the girl in? Even if you are not afraid that your daughter-in-law will be snatched away by someone else, you should at least think about Yichuan!"

Mother Gu never expected this.

The ten boxes of books and a letter brought by the adopted daughter were each more valuable than the last. Judging from the looks of these scholars, these things were definitely not something that could be measured by money!

And these originally belonged to Chuan'er, she couldn't let others take them away!

Thinking of this, she quickly pushed through the crowd, came in front of Shen Nankui, pulled the corners of her mouth, and revealed an intimate smile.

"Oh, my dear wife, this is all a misunderstanding. I just said something wrong. I apologize to you. Please don't take it to heart."

As Mother Gu spoke, she actually bent over, as if admitting her mistake.

She stepped forward and held Shen Nankui's hand. "It is a blessing for our Gu family to marry such a good daughter-in-law like you. You have worked hard all the way. Come with me into the house and take a rest first. When the auspicious time comes, you can get married with Chuan'er."

Gu's mother apologized in front of everyone and personally invited her in. Shen Nankui was no longer angry and had nothing to complain about, so she let Gu's mother pull her inside.

"Mom, why did you come out?"

A worried voice came from behind the crowd.

Mother Gu turned around and saw him, her face filled with joy, "It's Chuan'er who's back!"

Chuan'er, Gu Yichuan?

Isn’t he at home? Why did he come back from outside?

Shen Nankui hurriedly looked behind him.

I saw a man in a sky-blue gown walking quickly along the road.

He first glanced at Shen Nankui, nodded slightly at her, and then said to Gu's mother: "Mom, you have a headache and can't get up, why are you out? I have bought medicine from Xinglin Hall in the county town. You should take the medicine quickly, otherwise you will not be able to come out to receive the gifts during the wedding ceremony. And... didn't you say that the people who came to pick up the bride would not arrive until the afternoon?"

Mother Gu looked embarrassed. She had sent her son out in the morning and didn't expect him to come back so soon.

He raised Shen Nankui's hand and patted it, "Oh! When you are in a hurry, you always go fast and slow. I didn't expect your second aunt and the others to come back so early. I thought you were not here and I couldn't neglect the new bride, so I came out to greet them in person. But don't worry, I don't have a headache now."

Gu Yichuan felt relieved and turned around to bow to Shen Nankui.

"I should have picked you up in person. I was rude."

When she looked up, Shen Nankui finally saw his face clearly from a close distance.

The young man's hair was as sharp as a knife, his eyebrows were as black as a painting, and he was wearing a light blue robe, which made him look even more elegant and graceful. The sparkling light in his eyes was as pure as the snow on the top of a mountain and as warm as the sunshine in mid-spring. He truly deserves the description of "gentle and graceful".

Looking at the young and handsome face in front of him, Shen Nankui found it difficult to connect him with the shabby and decadent figure in his memory.

In his previous life, Gu Yichuan guarded Shen Pingwan's tomb for more than ten years. In the end, he fell seriously ill. It was Shen Nankui who received the news and went to collect his body and took care of his funeral.

She still remembered that Gu Yichuan held her arm tightly when he was dying and said that he had never let Shen Pingwan down in his life.

She was shocked at the time. It was obvious that Shen Pingwan had already fallen out with him and his wife before her death, but why could he still be so affectionate to her that he was even willing to sacrifice his entire life for her?

Shen Nankui couldn't figure it out and didn't understand.

After she took care of Gu Yichuan's funeral, she fell ill when she returned to the Marquis' Mansion. She was bedridden for several months. The next time she opened her eyes, it was the day when Shen Pingwan married her in exchange for marriage.

In her previous life, she married into a marquis's mansion and never experienced love until her death. Now that she saw Gu Yichuan again, she couldn't help but feel curious.

If she married him in this life, would he still love her this much?

"Miss Shen?"

Seeing her staring at him, Gu Yichuan blushed and called out to her again.

Shen Nankui came back to his senses and said quickly: "It's okay, I just got here too."

When everyone saw this, they laughed and said, "Oh, the bride was distracted and the groom blushed. They fell in love with each other before they even got married. They can't wait any longer!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Everybody started laughing.

Gu Yichuan's face turned even redder, and Shen Nankui lowered her head in embarrassment, covering her face tightly with a round fan.

Someone shouted, "The groom is back. Where are the gongs and drums? Why don't you start playing? Groom, don't just stand there like an idiot. Hurry up and lead the bride into the house."

In her previous life, the Marquis' Mansion had strict rules and the Crown Prince was seriously injured, so she had never seen such a lively scene. At this moment, she couldn't help blushing and hiding her face behind the round fan, not daring to look at anyone.

Suddenly, a big hand held her and led her inside.

The two clasped their hands together, and their palms were slightly damp.

The sound of gongs and drums was deafening, and the crowd surrounded the two people and led them into the courtyard, as if all the unpleasantness that had happened before had disappeared.

Everyone went in, but Song Dong'er was still outside.

She looked at the pair of folded hands in the crowd and kicked the ground angrily.

"Why are you so proud? You will cry someday in the future!"

The auspicious time was in the evening, and it was still early, so Shen Nankui was taken to the house to eat, rest, and dress up. After eating, she wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but she couldn't fall asleep.

When she got married in her previous life, Prince Qi was seriously injured, so she got married with a rooster, and the bridal chamber was something she had never experienced before.

So in this life, she is experiencing many things for the first time.

With his mind in a mess, Shen Nankui simply sat up and thought about the current situation of the Gu family.

In her previous life, when Shen Pingwan returned to her mother's home, she said that Gu's mother was difficult to get along with, and the cousin who stayed in Gu's house was even more scheming.

I have seen Mother Gu's tricks today, but I don't know how this cousin Song will deal with me.
