Gu Wenjing has been busy for many days and has handled disaster relief related matters. Because the Seventh Prince asked him to help contact the procurement channels for medicinal materials, grain and other materials, the image he created in front of the Seventh Prince is a good official who cares about the people, so he must not refuse it if he can do his best.

Before Gu Wenjing traveled through time, he was a big businessman who created a multinational group. He was his old job in discussing business. Not only could he get the best price, but he could also make those businessmen smile and give him discounts.

This outstanding ability to do things naturally made the Seventh Prince particularly appreciate. Gu Wenjing found that the Seventh Prince's attitude towards him became more and more friendly, and he had a vague intention of winning over him. However, the Seventh Prince had not made a clear statement, so he pretended not to know.

Of course, there are more than the Seventh Prince who has a keen eye on the Seventh Prince. Gu Wenjing's ability to do things in disaster relief has attracted many people to watch, and he has once again welcomed several other princes to increase their efforts to win over.

Fortunately, the emperor now attaches more importance to him and the father and son of Ningyuan. As the emperor's confidant, the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion is not something that these princes who are fighting for the throne can force it.

Since the princes could not use tough measures, the princes set their minds on marriage.

Gu Wenjing has two concubines who have not gotten married, and the third girl of the Marquis's house is not yet in her old age, but the second girl is already in love with her.

One day when Gu Wenjing came home from get off work, he received news that Ning Yuanhou was furiously locked up the second girl and his biological mother.

When Gu Wenjing went to the main room to pay his respects to Yuan, he asked by the way what was going on.

Yuan said, "Your second sister is very angry, and she actually gave her a private lesson to the fourth prince! Today, the fourth prince sent someone to propose marriage and used her close-fitting veil as a token, which made the Marquis so angry."

Gu Wenjing's face was not very good-looking. This is different from the modern era. In ancient times, wealthy families married their daughters and wives. Many factors must be considered behind every marriage. Lovers finally get married, etc. must be based on the fact that the family backgrounds of the two parties are not very different and there is no hatred.

And his concubine, as the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, married the Fourth Prince to the Supreme Being, just to be a concubine. It's nothing. After all, the Marquis Ningyuan and his father and son have real power, and the Marquis' Mansion is not a high-ranking mansion, and the Marquis' Mansion and the Fourth Prince have no grudges.

But the problem is that the purpose of the Fourth Prince's proposal of marriage is not pure! He wanted to win over the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion with this relationship, but the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion did not want to get on the Fourth Prince's pirate ship.

In this case, marriage is bound to be impossible. However, Gu Wenjing, the second sister, privately granted the fourth prince a private experience, putting the Marquis' Mansion on an unfavorable side, and even refusal could not be refused, otherwise it would ruin the reputation of the entire Gu family.

Gu Wenjing knew in his heart that the fourth prince was a broken boat, and he was also angry that the second sister did not know how to love herself. She was thinking and had a high spirit. She wanted to climb up the top without knowing anything. She thought that marrying the prince was a high marriage and life would be easier in the future. However, she did not know that the fourth prince failed to fight for the throne, and her life would be even more sad than marrying ordinary people.

This major event involving the Hou Mansion's position in the future, Gu Wenjing hurried to the front yard study to meet his father, Hou Ning Yuan.

"Father, I heard from my mother that my second sister..."

Ning Yuanhou said calmly: "You can only agree to this situation, otherwise your third sister will not be able to get married if you make trouble, and the reputation of other girls in the clan will be bad."

This world values ​​women's reputation very much. If any woman has a bad reputation, girls from the same clan will have flaws.

The Gu family is not only the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, but also relatives from other legitimate branches! As the patriarch of the Gu family, Ningyuan Marquis always has to consider the reputation of the family.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

In this case, Gu Wenjing couldn't plead for the second sister, "Then father, what do you mean..."

Ning Yuanhou sighed: "The water splashed by her married daughter, she chose the way she would go by herself. It is impossible for me to gamble the entire Gu family for her alone." He looked at Gu Wenjing and said seriously, "Wenjing, you have to remember that only by following the one on the dragon throne, who is not biased or mixed in, is the way to last!"

Gu Wenjing's heart was slightly shocked and he began to ponder.

Ning Yuanhou's words really woke Gu Wenjing who wanted to get the Dragon's Achievement. He knew the general plot and knew that the winner of the future was the Seventh Prince. This Dragon's Achievement is definitely a win. But if the Gu family tastes the sweetness, can the Gu family still insist on maintaining neutrality in the next battle for the throne?

What if the Gu family went to a higher level because of his successful bet this time, and the descendants of the Gu family were used to standing in the battle for the throne? Things are unpredictable in the world, and there will always be times when the bets are lost and the whole clan will lose.

Although Gu Wenjing traveled halfway through, Gu Zhenghong was his son. The heirs of the Gu family were his descendants, and he always wanted the Gu family's long-term plans in the future.

So Gu Wenjing silently gave up the idea of ​​surrendering to the Seventh Prince in his heart. The Gu family must ensure that they will never get involved in the battle for the throne to prosper for a long time. He cannot set this precedent.

Gu Wenjing raised his eyes and looked at Ning Yuanhou, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, father, I will remember my teachings and will never get involved."

Ning Yuanhou nodded with satisfaction. Although he didn't know Gu Wenjing's secret plan before, he was afraid that Gu Wenjing would be pulled onto a pirate ship by the fourth prince because his second daughter married the fourth prince. It would be useless to control himself. His son Wenjing is his heir. The future leader of the Gu family also needs his son to be in the same heart as him to ensure that Gu's family is worry-free.

Gu Wenjing hesitated and asked, "Did the second sister really ignore it?"

Although his second sister is a concubine, he is not original and has no emotional foundation with this sister. But people's hearts are made of flesh. The second sister often makes some fan-covered collars and other things for him and Cheng Yuhua, and also makes small shoes and socks for his son Gu Zhenghong.

Although the thing is small, the intention is to be there. No matter whether she does these things with purpose or whatever, at least the meaning is there.

Compared to the second girl who often gives small gifts, the older girl who has been married and the younger third girl never give anything on her own initiative on weekdays. By comparison, the second girl seems to be good at being a human being.

Gu Wenjing would not treat the second girl as his legitimate sister because of this little thing, but he would also treat the second girl as his relative's sister. If he could, he would help him.

Gu Wenjing is a very responsible person. Even if he is so annoyed by her, he will take care of her because she is his cousin. He has hardly communicated with him and has never even said a few words. After getting married, he still asked Cheng Yuhua to give gifts more generously and to show her face to her at her husband's house.

But in fact, he only has the responsibility to them in his heart. It is a joke to talk about feelings that he has, and it can even be said that he doesn't care.

The difference between caring and not caring is that the second girl is good at being a human being, which makes Gu Wenjing care a little bit, so he asked more in front of the Marquis of Ningyuan today.

Seeing that Gu Wenjing was concerned about his sister, Ning Yuanhou was silent and said, "When the matter is settled, just take good care of your second sister."

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Because the second girl was indecent, she married the fourth prince as a concubine. Ning Yuanhou agreed, but acted very coldly. Even the dowry given to the second girl was still prepared according to the rules that the concubine's daughter should have, and she did not add a little extra point because she married the prince.

The second girl knew that her dowry was a little less than her concubine's sister, so she became dissatisfied and made a fuss. As a result, she was scolded by Ning Yuanhou mercilessly: "Growing and having the order! Your sister is the eldest daughter, so she naturally has more dowry than you! You, a concubine, want to overwhelm your eldest sister? Are there any rules?!"

The second girl felt wronged. She married a prince, and her sister married a poor Jinshi. Now she is a wife of a sixth-rank official. Their families have different ties. Shouldn’t she have more dowry?

However, Ningyuan Hou would rather give her more dowry and let her change her partner than marry the Fourth Prince. Unfortunately, she didn't understand this.

After Ning Yuanhou scolded her, she asked her to continue to be confined until the day of her marriage. Only then did she realize how dissatisfied her father was in her marriage.

I thought that marrying her as a concubine would win over the fourth prince of the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. After marrying the person back, I saw her simple dowry that was strictly prepared according to the second daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, and my face turned dark.

The fourth prince knew that he had married an abandoned son and wasted a quota of concubines in vain. Every adult prince was named king by the emperor, and each prince had a fixed number of concubines, which was a weapon to win over important officials. As a result, it was wasted on the second girl of the Marquis' Mansion and had not yet won over to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. How could the fourth prince not be angry?

He took his anger on the second girl, but he didn't dare to really urge her. After all, she was from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. If he vented his anger on her, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, which remained neutral, would stand on his hostile side.

The princes who can occupy a place in the battle for the throne are not fools. Although they are proud, they know that they should tolerate it when they should. Even if the fourth prince is dissatisfied with his newly married concubine due to the failure of the plot, and dissatisfied with the ignorant Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, he will not offend Ningyuan Marquis Mansion at this critical moment.

Therefore, the second girl is not so popular in the royal palace at most, and she does not have the scenery she imagines, and her life is still OK.

The Marquis of Ningyuan asked Yuan to mention the second girl when she returned to the door three times, asking her to be at peace with the Fourth Prince's Mansion and not to get involved in what should not be involved, otherwise the Marquis Mansion would really let her go completely.
