After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me
Chapter 118: Eight Characters for a Match Made in Heaven
Chapter 118
Only Prince had a hint of joy on his handsome face, and let someone take Gu Ying and his eight characters to present to Gu Old Madam.
When Gu Old Madam took a look, she was stunned for a moment.
It was also the first time in this life that Gu Ying sat in the hall and watched her own eight characters with her future husband with her own eyes.
What a coincidence, the eight characters said that the two of them were made for each other, and it was a golden jade good marriage tie between their previous and present lives. If they could get married, they would definitely be able to spend their whole lives together until their hair turned white.
It would be even more auspicious if the woman could enter the man's home at the yellow dusk hour.
The time of Gu Jiacheng's marriage was also similar, but how could the prince of a noble's house be compared to a scholar from a humble background marrying into the family?
One was in the sky, the other underground. Having two weddings on the same day, before even getting married, some people had already lost.
Gu Jia didn't have even a hint of a smile on her face.
Matchmaker Madam Qian smiled amiably, praising Gu Ying and Prince's eight characters to the sky in front of Gu Old Madam.
Even if Gu Old Madam didn't like Gu Ying, at this point, she didn't have much to say either, and was also happy.
After all, it was her own granddaughter. Being able to marry into the Prince's manor as the Prince's wife, who knows, maybe in the future she would become the main madam of the Prince's manor. This glory was not something Gu Jia could bring.
It was a pity the eldest daughter was so useless.
Today the wedding date was set, some were happy and some were worried.
Jiang Yin's cold gaze kept falling on Gu Ying. Ever since the medicine incident last time, every time he saw Gu Ying, he felt she had a charm and gentleness that she didn't have before.
That feeling unique to women after intimacy drove him crazy deep down.
He kept suppressing this feeling, even if Gu Jia scolded and insulted him every day, he couldn't get Gu Ying's shy little face and charming eyes out of his mind.
But Gu Ying sitting opposite didn't notice him at all. She turned her head slightly, and looked at the man sitting beside her out of the corner of her eye, her gaze full of questions.
Such good auspicious words, she didn't believe the fortune teller came up with them...
How could there be such matching eight characters?
When noble families did matchmaking with eight characters, even if they were determined to arrange a marriage, checking the eight characters was just going through the motions. Even bad matches could be talked up.
Did the Prince secretly arrange this?
Zhao Changdu happened to turn his head, their gazes met, the man's dark phoenix eyes were unfathomable.
Gu Ying quickly avoided his gaze, solemnly stroked her sleeve cuffs, but her earlobes inexplicably felt hot.
Gu Old Madam was speaking with Madam Qian.
Zhao Changdu's body leaned slightly over, "What's wrong?"
Gu Ying pursed her lips, "Our eight characters, did the Prince find someone to calculate them?"
Zhao Changdu understood, so the little girl suspected he had arranged this.
He let out a soft laugh, lowered his voice and leaned in closer to her ear, "Don't worry, I didn't arrange anything. The abbot of Jinlong Temple calculated them himself."
He was also stunned for a good while when he got the matching eight characters.
Back in the day when he wanted to marry Huo Qiyun, he had gotten Huo Qiyun's eight characters and specifically asked the abbot of Jinlong Temple to calculate them.
But after the abbot calculated them, he shook his head and said he and Huo Qiyun were not a good match.
Back then he was young and impetuous, and didn't believe in gods and Buddha at all.
Who knew what happened afterwards. After that, he became dispirited, and never set foot in a temple again.
Gu Ying blinked, the warm breath on her ear made her look dazed for a moment. So it was true...
Were she and Zhao Changdu really fated in their previous and present lives?
If so, they didn't have much connection in their previous lives. If not, by accident in their previous lives, her first time still went to him...
And in this life, somehow... also went to him.
If this wasn't fate, there was no way to explain it.
Thinking of this, Gu Ying also smiled.
Zhao Changdu glanced at her smiling appearance, long brows slightly raised, and his heart softened a little.
Soon, the little girl would enter his household.
...
After the wedding date was set, Gu Ying's days at the Gu manor were a little better.
Although Gu Old Madam didn't say it explicitly, the arrangements at Murakumo Studio had improved somewhat, and she would also personally check on Murakumo Studio's food, clothing, and necessities, and it was rare to not be able to get good charcoal.
After all, she was going to marry into the Prince's manor, so the manor didn't dare to neglect her.
Gu Jia's side was unhappy, but her fiancé was at least a new top scorer in the imperial exam, and was about to be assigned an official position. If he got a good position, it could also liven things up a bit.
Gu Old Madam had always doted on Gu Jia. Her focus was all on making arrangements for Jiang Yin, while Mrs. Liu was even more elated.
Because she had come up with a way to use Gu Old Madam's prestige in the household to get the key to Madam Ye's private treasury from Gu Ying.
With so much gold, silver, jewels, calligraphy, paintings, as well as countless shops and manors, it was a dazzling sight.
Her eyes were blooming just looking at it all.
She also discovered a rare and precious golden silk kingfisher brocade in Madam Ye's private treasury!
She couldn't help but caress the golden silk kingfisher brocade lovingly, "Such good fabric must be used to make wedding clothes for my Jia'er!"
Zhou Mama's eyes also lit up, "Madam's plans are so thoughtful!"
Mrs. Liu strutted around smugly as she left the courtyard where the private treasury was located.
Gu Ying and Yin Lan slowly walked out from the corner.
Yin Lan laughed, "Miss, I'm afraid Mrs. Liu still doesn't know this golden silk kingfisher brocade isn't something she can use."
Gu Ying's lips curved up slightly, "With her wits, it would be strange if she could think of it."
Yin Lan pressed her lips together and smiled lightly, "Then let's wait and see the show."
Gu Ying lightly coughed and gathered her fox fur coat to return to Murakumo Studio. Looking at the jade bracelet Gu Old Madam had given her, she thought for a moment, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and put it into a wooden box which she sealed away in a chest.
...
This morning, the snow had gotten a little bigger.
The sky wasn't bright yet when Gu Ying woke up. Yin Lan and Rouge stood behind her with grave expressions. f𝐫𝗲eweb𝗻o𝐯el.𝚌o𝗺
Gu Ying hadn't done her hair yet, and was just casually wearing a lined jacket with a folded cherry blossom collar inside. She put on the fox fur coat and calmly asked, "Did Jiang Yin go out?"
