Gu Yue laughed dryly twice: "Thank you all for your kindness, but I have no plans to get married at the moment."

Someone immediately said, "Marriage is a matter of destiny for men and women. They need to start a family and establish a career. Without a family, how can one establish a career?"

"Besides, if Master Bo doesn't get married, who will take care of the rear house? We won't be able to enjoy family happiness in the future." Xu Anxing said.

"It's temporary." Gu Yue said, "I'm just not in a hurry, let's talk about it later. Hey! There are rich dishes and wine at this banquet, everyone, don't just chat, eat!"

All this food can’t stop you from eating!

Gu Yue was only worried about Gu Xu. Would this guy be angry again?

I secretly glanced at Gu Xu's seat next to me. Gu Xu was holding a wine glass with a calm expression on his face.

Gu Yue pursed his lips.

Seeing Lord Lu opening his mouth to say something, he immediately raised his glass: "Hey, sir, I toast you a glass!" and then drank the wine in his hand.

Seeing this, Lord Lu had no choice but to drink. Gu Yue saw that this trick worked, so he toasted whoever asked for it, and made Xu Anxing, Lord Lu, and Xiao Jingzhi, who were the most excited, drink until their faces turned red.

Gu Yue remained calm, his cup contained water specially prepared by Wu Yan.

Su Muying, the eldest son of the Su family and the prime minister, said, "It's fine if my uncle doesn't want to get married, but Xiaoxu's matter can't be delayed. My youngest sister only has this one child, and as his uncle, I naturally can't watch him almost come of age without getting married."

The second son, Su Muyu, said, "That's right. Could it be that after a hundred years, there won't even be anyone to offer sacrifices and worship?"

The third son, Su Muhua, said, "It's not that I don't want to get married, it's just that it's not on the agenda for the time being. As for my younger sister's child, I will naturally choose someone he likes. Why are the brothers so anxious?"

Gu Yue smiled and said, "This... Lord Su is right. Xiao Xu has just arrived in Luoyang and is not familiar with the ladies of various families. How can he be hastily engaged? It still depends on his own wishes."

Gu Xu glanced at him.

Su Muhua cupped his hands and said, "I am just an idler, how can I be worthy of being called Lord Su? Since you are Xiaoxu's adoptive father, I will respectfully call you my dear brother."

Gu Yue took advantage of the situation and said, "Having such a brother, I am the one who has taken advantage."

Su Muying took the opportunity to say, "Why don't I ask my wife to go back and draw up a list and send it to your house so that Xiao Xu can carefully choose?"

Gu Yue was annoyed. Was this topic never going to end?

Gu Xu said: "I appreciate your kindness, uncle, but there is no need to do this."

Old Master Su might have seen something. Su Muying was the highest official, and it was difficult for others to refute him, but his father could.

The old man said, "Well! You are too attentive."

Su Muying said: "My son is too concerned and confused."

Qin Zhaochen saw that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, so he tried to smooth things over and changed the topic to the scenery on the border. The matter was finally over.

After all, there are only a few people who want to make a fuss about their marriage.

The banquet lasted until the hour of Hai.

After seeing off the guests at the gate, Gu Yue and Gu Xu asked someone to close the gate and returned to the Jishi Courtyard where they lived. The name of this courtyard was very suitable for him.

Gu Xu sat down in front of the couch in the room: "I don't want you to be exposed in public, this is one of the reasons."

"Did you expect this?" Gu Yue thought to himself, no wonder he didn't react much during the meal.

I thought I was just being too sentimental.

"Yeah." Gu Xu looked at the floor, then raised his eyes to glance at Gu Yue's expression.

"...If you or I get married, the relationship between our wife's family and us will be closer." Gu Yue analyzed, "But we have only made contributions in Ganzhou, and we don't even have a title or a fiefdom. Is it worth giving up a daughter?"

Gu Yue immediately thought of the Chao Zhen Army: "Is it because of the Chao Zhen Army? How many people know about this army?"

Gu Xu said: "On the surface, not many people know about it, but it's hard to say how many people know about it in private."

He pushed the snacks in front of Gu Yue: "You didn't eat much at night, eat some more."

Gu Yue picked up a piece of peach cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's easy to understand why the prince wants to put people around us." Gu Xu explained: "First, it binds us to the power in his hands. Second, if we have a child, we can use the child to make a fuss."

Gu Yue was confused for a moment. How did the child come to mind?

Gu Xu himself is still a minor!

"There are many methods that can be used in the backyard." Gu Xu said.

"Husband and wife are like bedfellows, and it is indeed difficult to guard against them." Gu Yue said, "Judging from what happened tonight, the Su family may have some plans. It would not be surprising if they knew about Chao Zhenjun's affairs. Alas, I think it's just that Xiao Jingzhi who is simple and straightforward, and just wants to join in the fun."

"Xiao Jingzhi is the emperor's man." Gu Xu said.

"what?!"

"He brought up the topic on purpose. It must be the emperor's instruction." Gu Xu looked at him. "This is just a test. You must attend the celebration banquet in a few days. By then, the emperor may arrange a marriage for you."

Gu Yue was stunned.

"If the emperor wants to grant you a marriage, what will you do?" Gu Xu asked.

Gu Yue didn't answer for a moment.

There was silence in the room.

Gu Xu looked away and said, "If you can't think of a solution, just agree to it. You should have gotten married at your age. It's me who delayed you."

Gu Yue was stunned when he heard this.

Before he could say anything, Gu Xu continued, "As for the matter between Chao Zhenjun and my parents, I have my own way. Your marriage will not affect these."

"There will be a way." Gu Yue said, "I don't want to get married yet."

"Don't want to? What if the emperor grants the marriage?" Gu Xu asked.

"As long as he doesn't make an order without any preparation, I have a way to stop him from talking." Gu Yue said, "At most..."

"What's the big deal?" Gu Xu looked at him.

Gu Yue didn't say anything.

There was a knock on the outer door, and Wu Yan said, "Master, the hot water is ready."

"I understand." Gu Xu replied.

"Let's wash up and rest first. We've been busy all day and are exhausted." Gu Yue said with a smile.

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Gu Xu did not force him: "Okay."

……

Outside the hospital.

Gu Ping said: "Are you willing to take care of such a trivial matter as boiling water?"

Gu He was a little annoyed with him: "So what if you are unwilling? Don't you want to do what Manager Yan arranged?"

"Don't forget the instructions!"

"You are just being loyal." Gu He curled his lips, "Is the monthly salary still given to you by the higher-ups? Think about it yourself! I am leaving now."

After saying that, Gu He turned and left.

Gu Ping was very angry, but he could do nothing about it. Maybe they were right. It was not a good thing to stand out on the first day of entering the mansion...

Gu Ping turned his head and saw a group of servants carrying wooden barrels coming out of the Jishiyuan where Lord Dunxin lived, and immediately stepped forward.

"Have you delivered the hot water to Master?" Gu Ping raised his chin slightly, "What about Master's Lesongyuan?"

"I didn't know that the hot water has been sent to the Jishiyuan." The servant in front answered.

"Oh?" Gu Ping looked at the brightly lit courtyard over there, "It's so late, is the young master still in the old master's courtyard?"

"I don't know." The servant still said the same thing.

"Forget it, you guys go." Gu Ping waved his hand.
