Chapter 709: Bring your family along to propose marriage

What if it affects my future?

I was thinking to myself, and I couldn't help but get more worried: "It's just a small matter, and you actually asked for leave for this. Is this reasonable?"

"It's not a big deal like getting married. If His Majesty knew about this and blamed you for not doing your best during your time on duty, what would you do if it affected your career prospects?"

Gu Zizhan was speechless when he heard this, and responded helplessly: "Mother, have you ever heard of someone having a major impact on his career just because he took half a day off? This is simply nonsense!"

Then he added, "Besides, my second brother has already asked for leave. If I don't ask for leave as well, wouldn't it be too unkind? After all, in my mind, nothing is more important than my eldest sister's affairs."

When Princess Rui heard this, she immediately turned her head and glanced at the second brother and his wife standing beside them, and then refuted mercilessly: "How can you two be compared? Your second brother's official position is only a fourth-rank official, how can he be compared with you?"

At this time, the second brother's family sitting nearby, including the couple and their two children, could only choose to remain silent in the face of such a situation.

For them, keeping silent at this moment may be the wisest thing to do.

Although Princess Rui's words were indeed hurtful, it is undeniable that what she said was indeed an indisputable fact.

I am indeed not as promising as the third brother!

Therefore, even though they still feel a little aggrieved and uncomfortable inside, they have no choice but to endure it silently.

After all, this situation is not the first time it has occurred, and over time, everyone has gradually become accustomed to it.

At this moment, Prince Rui, who had never spoken, finally noticed the slightly embarrassed expressions on the faces of the second son and his wife.

Then he interrupted and said, "Okay, Zizhan is right. How can your career be affected by taking half a day off?"

Only then did Princess Rui calm down.

Really, it’s a good thing that the prince has a good attitude, otherwise we don’t know how uncomfortable the two brothers are because of Princess Rui.

If he were a person with a stronger jealous character, he would probably regard his younger brother as a thorn in his side.

But the prince did not.

Of course, Gu Zizhan also clearly showed that he had no idea about the position of Crown Prince. This was his second brother's, and he would not snatch it from his second brother.

Gu Zizhan sat next to Mo Yan.

Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere didn't last long.

Then a servant came to report that a troop was heading towards Prince Rui's palace.

Prince Rui nodded: "Okay."

As elders, Prince Rui and Princess Rui certainly could not go to the door to receive them.

So what happened was that Gu Zizhan and his second brother walked outside.

I saw Zheng Jinshu riding a tall horse.

The smile on that face was like winning the lottery.

The corners of his mouth were almost stretched to the back of his head.

There were three more carriages behind.

The street in front of the door is a very straight avenue.

Now the hiring team was almost at the door, but there was no sign of their end.

It's really like you can't see the beginning but the end!

Gu Zizhan looked at this spectacular team.

He guessed in his heart that the Zheng family would definitely not offer such a large betrothal gift.

Because the Zheng family also has two sons.

So when it comes to the betrothal gift, the one offered by the government must be the same.

Therefore, the extra betrothal gift must have been paid by Zheng Jinshu himself.

This probably means that she has used all her family assets as a betrothal gift.

This is what you hire.

If the husband's family does not keep any money and gives it all to the woman as a dowry.

After a circle, these things become the woman's dowry.

Gu Zizhan smiled lightly, it seemed that he had given it his all.

I have to say that he was satisfied.

Zheng Jinshu dismounted and looked at the Prince and Gu Zizhan standing at the door.

Zheng Jinshu greeted first.

The prince said politely, "We are all family from now on, no need to be so polite."

As a result, Gu Zizhan looked at the person getting off the carriage behind.

have to say.

Gu Zizhan and the prince were both surprised.

This old lady Fu!

The Zheng family actually asked Old Madam Fu to propose marriage.

Then Zheng's father and mother, as well as Zheng Jinshu's older brother and sister-in-law got off the carriage behind.

Gu Zizhan quickly said to Wen Zhu beside him, "Go and report to my father and mother."

Wenzhu looked at the situation and thought that the prince and princess would have to come to greet them personally!

This time, the one who was engaged was the highly respected Madam Fu.

Then Zheng's father, Zheng's mother and all the family members came.

At this hour, there are quite a few people coming and going here.

Anyway, there are a lot of people on this road.

Everyone was looking at this spectacular procession of betrothal guests.

Someone who doesn't know the answer is: "Who is this family coming to propose marriage? This team is so impressive."

"There are no unmarried girls in the Rui Palace, right?"

"That's right! Are we taking the wrong road?"

At this time, there was a gossipy person who looked like he knew the truth.

"Don't you know? Although there are no unmarried girls in the Rui Palace, there is a divorced princess!"

When the woman who didn't know the reason heard this, those who knew the truth quickly gathered around.

"This is the Dali Temple Minister Xiao Zheng who came to propose marriage. I heard that his mother personally proposed to Princess Rui, and asked the Queen to grant the marriage."

Those who don’t know will be surprised when they hear it.

This is such a huge piece of melon!

Is there something wrong with Zheng's mother? She actually let her young and promising son marry a divorced woman with a burden.

It's incredible.

Everyone had their own guesses.

Another person said: "This world is magical!"

"Who knows, maybe this young Master Zheng has some hidden illness!"

"Hmmmm, it's possible!"

"Yes!"

This group of people are the ones watching the fun in the middle of the team.

The people who were watching the excitement at the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion saw Old Madam Fu and Zheng's father and mother.

The passers-by were very surprised.

They were servants in charge of purchasing for a nearby mansion.

They had heard about the Queen's arrangement of marriage between Lord Zheng and Princess Gu.

But seeing that the Zheng family actually asked Madam Fu to be the middleman.

I won’t say more about the fact that Zheng’s father and mother hired a distinguished middleman.

He also brought his family with him to propose marriage.

This is rare.

At this time, the man usually just needs to find a respected person to bring the groom to propose the marriage.

Finding a man of high moral character means that you value the woman.

If a man is interested in a girl, her parents will bring the groom to propose marriage.

It represents the importance attached to the woman's family.

But the Zheng family is more grand than others!

Not only did they invite a person of high moral character and prestige, but the parents also brought their entire family to propose marriage.

No one can understand why divorced women have become so popular.

I don’t know what kind of charm this Princess Gu has that makes the Zheng family like her so much.

It's really puzzling.
