Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 184 Daily Life in the Capital

Lin Wulang had not been out for a long time because he was a housekeeper. Now he was naturally happy to be able to attend the flower viewing party.

Knowing what Gu Yao meant, she said, "I know. I understand it in my heart. And I also want to see those unmarried ladies and gentlemen, so that I can show them to my children."

He didn't know much about some of the official factions in the capital, but he naturally knew that he must look for those families that did not form cliques and had excellent family traditions.

After all, their family doesn't want to marry into a rich and powerful family. They just want to live a good life.

When the three of them separated at the Tan family, Gu Yao reminded them a few more times and followed the servants to the middle of the women.

And he was with Zheng Shuyi and a few others.

"Ayao, you're here so early. By the way, my brother-in-law and the others are here, right? I just asked my husband to go find them and take them with him, so don't worry."

Zheng Shuyi was afraid that Wulang and the others would feel a little uncomfortable attending a banquet in Beijing again after many years, so she reminded her husband to take care of them.

After hearing this, Gu Yao was very grateful: "Thank you very much, I don't have to worry anymore with your husband around."

"What's the big deal? Our two families are one family, and my husband also said that he wants to talk more with your husbands and listen to some of the customs and practices of Shicheng."

He had a good relationship with several men in his family, and he also had two little maids and more than twenty children. If Zheng had not been rich and she was good at business, they would have been unable to support them long ago.

"Come to my house after the banquet and let me entertain you. I have sorted out the affairs of the Ministry of Industry and now I have some free time."

At this time, Zheng Shuyi looked forward and said: "Ayao, do you know that person? He was the top scholar in the previous session. However, he is the eldest granddaughter of Duke Qi. She is very good. If her family had not fallen into poverty, most women of noble families would not be willing to participate in the imperial examination."

They were born with titles and enjoyed wealth and splendor, so they were not willing to endure this hardship at all.

Gu Yao sighed, "Without a successor, they naturally want to find another way. Otherwise, why would they be willing to take the imperial examination? I guess Duke Qi is afraid that there will be no one to succeed him in the future.

Zheng Hongqiu said: "It is also the eldest granddaughter that Duke Qi is willing to train because of his vision. Other nobles are unwilling to do so and only want to rest on their laurels. Fortunately, Qi Yan is willing to take the imperial examination, otherwise the Duke Qi would have lost his position in the capital long ago."

At this time, Zheng Hongmei said: "I heard a piece of news before that His Majesty seemed to want to marry her to the twenty imperial nobles, but I think they are still willing to do so. After all, marrying an imperial noble can continue the prosperity and wealth of their Qi family for decades."

Gu Yao knew why she was willing to do so. In this dynasty, even if one married the emperor, one still had the right to become an official. With royal connections, one could even go further if one was capable.

Looking at this former number one scholar, one can tell that she is a very ambitious person. She probably wants to restore the glory of the Duke of Qi's Mansion.

"Ayao, Aping and Qi Yan are from the same class, so they should be very familiar with her."

Gu Yao smiled and said, "It may not be the case. After all, my Ah Ping is only in the first place, and he didn't become the third or second place. It is possible that the two of them are not familiar with each other."

"It shouldn't be possible. Both of them are in the Imperial Academy, so they will definitely run into each other. But I think it's okay if we run into each other. However, they are from the Duke's Mansion and we are not on the same path, so it's better to have less contact with them."

Gu Yao sighed, "I don't care about the friends that young people make. As long as they don't go against their conscience, don't do bad things, and don't involve their family, I don't care who she makes friends with."

Zheng Shuyi sighed: "You are still so cool. I still remember that I thought you were very cool when I first met you. It seems that you have not changed after more than ten years."

Gu Yao smiled slightly: "I am still me. I am not a different person."

Zheng Shuyi laughed: "You are right, you are worthy of being my good friend. Let's go to the pavilion and sit down and drink some tea. Let's taste the good tea of ​​Mr. Tan's family."

They came to a small pavilion, from which they could see other people, and Lord Tan's family was indeed nice.

Their house is quite big, and the servants are very well-mannered. They serve them tea and snacks and then wait by their side.

"This is my first time at Mr. Tan's house. I didn't expect the yard to be so nice and well decorated. Mr. Tan's husband is really good at managing the household."

Gu Yao remembered that it had been a long time since she last attended a banquet in the capital, and this was her first time attending a banquet in many years.

"I heard that the husband of Lady Tan is from a marquis's family, so he is naturally good at managing the household. Moreover, our Lady Tan is very strict with her husband and is very afraid of her husband. If her husband was not dignified, polite and gentle, many people might think he is too overbearing."

"Mr. Tan is afraid of her husband because her husband is good. And her husband should be very good, otherwise Mr. Tan would not be so devoted to him."

They were talking about Lord Tan and then changed the topic. After all, it was always said that men in the back house were not good.

Moreover, Gu Yao also saw the ladies who had been glamorous and brilliant in the capital in recent years, which also allowed her to see a lot of the world.

She had lived in Beijing before, but it has been so many years and her information has changed several times.

However, what made her pay the most attention was what happened in Fang Hou Mansion before.

Zheng Shuyi whispered, "I heard that Lord Fang was demoted and has now become a young prince. The Fifth Princess was scolded and put in solitary confinement. She is still copying books. Even the Marquis' Mansion was reprimanded. I guess the Fang Marquis' Mansion will really disappear in the capital, unless the Fifth Prince can impress His Majesty."

Gu Yao frowned: "That Fifth Princess is too absurd. She actually robbed a commoner. I have heard about her before. If she was not the daughter of His Majesty, she would have been beaten several times in other people's homes."

"I hope it will be stable. I don't know what will happen in the future."

They hoped more than anyone else that the Crown Princess could inherit the throne sooner, but they thought that the Crown Princess already had a daughter who was already grown up, and that if His Majesty was still alive, her life would be too long.

Gu Yao was chatting about some political matters with her friends, and Lin Wulang also made a lot of friends.

He even picked out several for his children at home, but they were not impolite and only looked and observed secretly.

When you think there is a suitable person, you can go to the matchmaker's house and ask him or her for advice. If it is possible, you can continue to look for the right person.

When they returned to the Gu family, Lin Wulang told Gu Yao what had happened to him and Han Yuqing.
