Chapter 610 Courtesy

Seeing Ouyang Qing's high spirits, Wan Zhihe couldn't help but walked to her side and asked, "Mr. Li promised to help you?"

Ouyang Qing nodded happily.

"That's great," Wan Zhihe said softly, "Congratulations."

"Although it may not be successful, I still want to thank you," Ouyang Qing said with a smile, "I'll ask Zheng Dan about the class in a while."

After all, Zheng Dan still missed the class reunion, so he made a pot of tea with Prince Zhi and offered it to Gu Jingyun before resigning.

Gu Jingyun raised his eyes and glanced at Prince Zhi, seeing that he had been looking at Zheng Dan's back, he asked, "How is it?"

Prince Zhi nodded slightly, "Thank you sir."

Gu Jingyun didn't ask any more questions, and didn't let Baolu intervene in this matter. Success or failure depends only on themselves.

In less than half a month, Li Baolu received the jewelry from the Queen Mother, and she knew that the matter between Prince Zhi and Zheng Dan was half done.

In the royal family, half-finished marriages are no different from ironclad.

Li Baolu distributed half of the gold, silver and jewelry received to Gu Jingyun, and said with a smile: "You also have half of the credit for this matter."

Gu Jingyun pushed the things to her, and said with a smile, "You will keep them all."

"The thank you gift for being a matchmaker for the first time is very commemorative, so don't put it in the warehouse."

Gu Jingyun smiled and said: "It is precisely because of the commemorative significance that I entrust it to you for safekeeping. All my meaningful things are entrusted to you."

Li Baolu was full of joy in her heart, and winked all over the place, "Is it so nice to say, but also so sincere in my heart?"

Gu Jingyun put down the book in his hand, looked at her seriously and asked, "What do you think?"

Li Baolu just kissed him on the cheek, and Gu Jingyun couldn't help but smile.

The atmosphere between the couple was harmonious, while the Zheng family was in shock.

Lord Zheng was announced into the palace early this morning, but he met not only the emperor, but also the Supreme Emperor.

He was just a history editor of the Hanlin Academy. He suddenly had to meet the two giants of Dachu alone. He was almost scared to death, thinking that there was something wrong with the history books he was writing.

Only after the Supreme Emperor spoke did he know that the Empress Dowager had taken a fancy to his daughter and wanted to marry her to Prince Zhi.

Mr. Zheng only felt that a basket of pies fell from the sky. There was joy, but more of it was fright.

Their Zheng family can be regarded as a family of poetry and books. His great-grandfather began to study the imperial examinations. His grandfather was an official, his father was also an official, and his mother's natal family was a family of history books, but their development has been advancing steadily.

There are no amazing geniuses, and there are no high-ranking officials.

His father's official position was considered to be the highest in history. He was a second-rank Hanlin Academy Bachelor, majored in history books of the past dynasties, and vigorously developed local education. Unfortunately, his tenure was too short and he died of illness soon.

Because of this, the Zheng family has been on the ups and downs, saying that relatives should be in the same family, and most of the in-laws they find for their daughters are found in the homes of fourth- and fifth-rank officials, and even better ones are also found among second- and third-rank officials. It's almost like selling a daughter, and most of the people who are willing to talk to their family are bastards and dudes.

Mr. Zheng is reluctant to let his daughter go through this hardship.

Zheng Dan's knowledge has always been very good. Apart from his two sons, Mr. Zheng has only one daughter, and he often laments that she was not born a man.

And because his mother loves her, Mr. Zheng is also very tolerant towards her, and he has a gentle nature, so he turns a blind eye to his daughter going to the academy to teach. How could he be willing to let her marry into a noble family and be tortured by others?

So Zheng Dan's marriage has been dragging on.

But what family in this world is higher than the royal family?

Mr. Zheng felt both proud and worried. He was a little stunned for a while, and didn't reply.

Seeing that he was in a daze, the Empress Dowager coughed lightly and said, "The Empress Dowager has met Miss Zheng and thinks that Aiqing is well-bred, and Prince Zhi has also met Qianyuan, so she has no objection to this marriage. Therefore, Mrs. Zheng Aiqing Don't worry."

Master Zheng was taken aback, when did the Queen Mother and Prince Zhi meet his daughter, why didn't he know anything?

Master Zheng hurried home to ask his daughter.

Zheng Dan was also taken aback, "I, I told my grandmother, I have never seen the Queen Mother, only Prince Zhi."

After finishing speaking, he told her about Mr. Li introducing Prince Zhi to her.

Mrs. Zheng was speechless, "This Mr. Li is really kind to our family Dan'er." She said that she directly said Prince Zhi.

Mr. Zheng couldn't help but glared at his wife, and asked Zheng Dan, "Did Prince Zhi see you after that?"

"I've seen it twice, but both were through Mr. Li."

Mr. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, it's not as good as giving and receiving privately. Mr. Li is Zheng Dan's husband. Although he is young, he is also the elder of the two children.

He doesn't care about those red tapes, but people in the world do.

Knowing that Li Baolu was the matchmaker, Mr. Zheng stopped interrogating his daughter and began to prepare for receiving the order and marrying the daughter.

It was the first time for the Zheng family to marry the royal family, so they were at a loss. In the end it was Mrs. Zheng who couldn't stand the noise, pushed open the door and knocked on the wooden staff angrily, and said angrily: "You are still an Hanlin, so many etiquette poems and books have been read into the dog's stomach? No experience, everything is done according to the law." The etiquette comes as it is, as long as it is not rude, why bother?"

Mr. Zheng calmed down, bowed and said "yes", there will be more rules when reassigning tasks.

Mrs. Zheng looked at her stunned granddaughter, frowned and said, "Dan'er, follow me."

Zheng Dan hurriedly followed, and Mrs. Zheng looked at her daughter worriedly, and couldn't help pinching her husband.

Master Zheng comforted him without changing his face: "Don't worry, the one who loves Dan'er the most in the family is mother."

"What do you mean, don't I love my daughter?"

"It hurts, it hurts, you are the one who loves my daughter the most, okay?"

Hearing his perfunctory tone, Mrs. Zheng was so angry that she pinched him again. Mr. Zheng had already experienced many battles, so he could not help but "hiss" in pain at this time.

In the house, Zheng Dan knelt and sat opposite to his grandmother.

Mrs. Zheng looked at her sternly, and said after a while: "Keep the etiquette and know the morals, the character is not bad, and let the Supreme Emperor himself bestow the marriage, which shows that he attaches great importance to you. Get ready to marry."

Zheng Dan finally came to his senses, leaned over and said "yes".

"I didn't mention this to your parents before because I was not optimistic about this marriage, but now it seems that I underestimated him, and I underestimated your Mr. Li."

The corners of Zheng Dan's mouth turned up slightly, and he pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Grandmother, don't worry, Mr. told me that there are many harsh punishments for women in the world, so you have to show love and stop with courtesy, let alone, let alone me..."

"Besides, your love for him has not gone deep, has it?"

Zheng Dan lowered his head.

Mrs. Zheng looked at her and asked, "What about now, have you reached the depths?"

Zheng Dan blushed and lowered his head.

Mrs. Zheng sighed and said, "Good boy, you can go."

"grandmother?"

"If his actions are all from the heart and no one is pointing him out, then he is someone who can be entrusted to. This is very similar to your grandfather," Mrs. Zheng said here with her mouth slightly curled up. "A responsible person The character will not be too bad."

Prince Zhi met Zheng Dan three times. Except for the first meeting, he asked Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu to be there for the first two times, protecting Zheng Dan's reputation.

Mrs. Zheng was not optimistic about this marriage before. First, the Zheng family was not famous, and second, she knew about her granddaughter.

Zheng Dan's strength lies in her inner beauty, and unless the time is long enough, ordinary people will rarely discover her strengths.

The third is that Zheng Dan has not been summoned by the queen mother, so she is skeptical about whether the blind date passed the old lady Zheng.

What she didn't expect was that Prince Zhi was so responsible, he didn't rush to the door, and didn't look for Zheng Dan again, but invited the Supreme Emperor to come forward.

When the Supreme Emperor sees Mr. Zheng, it is the order of his parents, and with Li Baolu as an elder, the matchmaker's words are also in place.

Young people like Prince Zhi want to be respected by Zheng Dan, and also show respect for Zheng Dan by behavior, so it is worth entrusting.

Mrs. Zheng expressed that she was very satisfied. Seeing that her granddaughter was purely happy and didn't think about it further, she said, "Don't think that what he did is a trivial matter. In marriage, this is a big matter."

"Young people are young, and they can't help themselves. They can't help meeting each other, and they can't help talking about love. But if you really want to love this much, then you should put it on the top of your heart and plan for the other party from the heart. You shouldn't let the other party suffer a little criticism. , suffer a little guilt."

"Is that what grandfather did?" Zheng Dan asked curiously.

Old Madam Zheng couldn't help but curl her lips, "That's right, he did better than Prince Zhi back then, and he still has a lot to learn."

Zheng Dan seldom sees her grandmother smile, and even less so when she is so tender.

"Girls, be reserved. Even if you receive the imperial decree and you become a fiancée, you should just show love and end the ceremony. Don't overdo it."

Zheng Dan blushed and said, "Grandmother, grandson would not do such a thing."

"Stupid child, it's not necessarily true when the love is deep." Seeing her granddaughter's face flushed, Mrs. Zheng changed the subject and said, "Since Prince Zhi doesn't mind you teaching in the academy, then you can stay in the academy. A husband is important, but you should also have your own affairs to do, and in this regard, your Mr. Li has done a good job."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zheng sighed, and said with emotion: "If a woman in the world can live like her, this life will not be considered a disappointment."

The royal family has few heirs, so they attach great importance to Prince Zhi's marriage, and are also very impatient.

It was only two days after the Zheng family received the imperial decree, and the people in the capital hadn't recovered from the hustle and bustle, the Ministry of Rites came to inquire about the auspicious day.

The Empress Dowager asked Zheng Dan to continue teaching in the academy as an excuse and asked them to get married before they started school in the fall. The time was running short. In this way, Zheng Dan would have to accept the etiquette instruction from the palace nurse almost as soon as the academy was on vacation.

Fortunately, she is familiar with history books and is no stranger to etiquette, so the nuns only need to call her to know it.

Moreover, after getting married, Prince Zhi will live outside the palace, not in the palace, so there are only a few palace rituals, and he will learn them all soon.

Because this marriage was an upset and a rare happy event for the royal family, it attracted much attention. At this time, Gu Jingyun approached Ouyang Shangshu to argue with him.
