Chapter 2837: Marriage
Old Man Gu did the math, "I'm not too old, I'm twenty-eight years old, already a third-rank inspector of salt, a young talent. If Yingying can marry, she can be directly in charge of the family!
Although there was a daughter earlier, Yingying had suffered from her stepmother in her early years, so she would definitely treat Lin Ruhai's daughter kindly. If you can't be as close as a mother and daughter, but treat them well, prepare a rich dowry, and find a good husband in the future. "
Madam Gu thought about it and thought that Lin Ruhai was a very good candidate.
After all, the granddaughter's reputation is not good, and it can be passed on in the capital and in Jiangnan.
If it was a young man, he might be affected by these rumors, but an adult like Lin Ruhai would not have such trouble.
The more knowledge they have, the more they will be able to distinguish the truth from the false, and they will cherish Yingying even more when they find that Yingying is good.
In addition, there is no mother-in-law, no concubine, and even a stepdaughter is raised in Rongguo Mansion.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Gu thought it was very suitable, "Grandpa, I think the more you think about this marriage, the more suitable it is!"
The old man Gu nodded, "Since it's suitable, let's settle it and send a letter to the queen mother. If the emperor bestows the marriage, Yingying is also decent, and those rumors can be self-defeating!"
Madam Gu nodded, "That's fine, I'll go write a letter now!"
Mr. Gu hesitated a little, "Would you like to tell Yingying?"
Mrs. Gu thought for a while, then shook her head, "Don't say it, the girl is a serious one! If she is told that she is married to an older man and has a child, she will definitely think more.
When we arrived in Jiangnan, let her meet Lin Ruhai, a man from Zhilan Yushu, who can always attract a woman's attention, so naturally she is willing. "
Old Man Gu thought about it for a while, then nodded, "That's true! I was also a talent when I was young, and you fell in love at first sight when you met me!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu's face was a little shy, "It's not serious at this age!"
Old Man Gu smiled and held his wife's hand, "You are my wife, and you have been my whole life. It's really not easy to come through ups and downs for decades."
Suddenly hearing her husband's sentimental words, Mrs. Gu said with emotion: "It is said that husbands and wives come together less often. After getting older, it feels good for the two of them to talk every day! As for children, they all have their own lives. Family, in the end, you only have your own wife beside you."
The old couple said a lot of emotional words, and at the same time, they settled on this matter.
Mrs. Gu wrote a letter and asked someone to send it in.
The Queen Mother knew that her good friend would agree to her granddaughter's mind, and she told the emperor at the right moment.
The emperor also agreed. In the past few days, he has also learned about it and knew what happened, so he is also willing to give marriage.
So the Empress Dowager decreed that Sun Yingying and Lin Ruhai would marry.
When the imperial decree was issued to the Sun family, Sun Chengzhi was slightly taken aback.
He was a few years older than Lin Ruhai, but he was admitted to the Jinshi in the same year as Lin Ruhai.
It's just that he's just an ordinary jinshi, for example, he also despises the top three rankers.
He is only a fourth-rank official now, and Lin Ruhai is already a well-respected third-rank official.
Going around in circles, his daughter was actually given to Lin Ruhai by the emperor and became Weng's son-in-law in the same year.
Sun Chengzhi thought about it carefully, it should be the father-in-law and mother-in-law who went the way of the queen mother and found such a concern for her daughter.
