Chapter 756 Who doesn't like gold and silver
When Mrs. Lu was discussing with Lu Yiner how to plot against Su Chengmin at Old Madam Su's birthday party.
Su Chengmin asked his grandmother, Old Lady Min, to bring a matchmaker and was planning to go to Tong Huaqiong to propose to Gu Taohua.
Before this, Su Chengmin had already arrived at the Gu family and proposed to Gu Taohua in front of Tong Huaqiong and other members of the Gu family.
What can Tong Huaqiong say?
Taohua has grown up and has her own ideas. She wants to be with Su Chengmin, and she can't stop her.
Su Chengmin's words were so sincere and heartfelt that everyone in the Gu family felt that Su Chengmin was the perfect match for Gu Taohua.
Originally, Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe wanted to test Su Chengmin, but after Su Chengmin's persuasion, the two began to call him brother-in-law.
Tong Huaqiong quickly integrated into the role and became the mother-in-law who liked her son-in-law more and more the more she looked at him.
After obtaining Tong Huaqiong's approval, Old Lady Min happily began to arrange the marriage proposal.
If you don't mention it again, your grandson will be plotted against by the Su and Lu families.
Old Mrs. Min couldn't wait to get engaged today and get married tomorrow.
"As his uncle, you naturally have to help your nephew propose marriage." Old Mrs. Min called the tailor to her home. After the mighty general got off duty, he called the tailor to make new clothes for the nephew to wear when proposing marriage.
The mighty general said rather embarrassedly: "I'm not Chengmin's father, so it's not appropriate for me to go, right?"
Old Mrs. Min was so angry that she scolded the mighty general and also scolded Su Shihang at the same time.
"Don't mention that dad, just think of Su Shihang as dead. Chengmin was raised in the military camp by you, you are no different from his father, if you don't go, who will? Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, aren't you just afraid of seeing Tong Da Jiao? I tell you, don't take yourself too seriously, Tong Da Jiao is doing a great job in business and has no time to care about you."
These words almost broke the mighty general's heart.
In order to show his appreciation for Gu Taohua, Su Chengmin went to the outskirts of Beijing to hunt a pair of wild geese.
Old Mrs. Min took out the money she had saved over the years and Min Baozhen's dowry list, and gave them all as a betrothal gift to Gu Taohua.
The Min family picked an auspicious day and went to Tong Huaqiong's home in a grand manner to propose marriage.
Old Madam Min deliberately made a big fuss about proposing marriage, just to tell those families who were interested in Su Chengmin that Su Chengmin was already engaged, and others should stop thinking about it.
Especially the Su family.
Gu Taohua's engagement was the first major event Tong Huaqiong handled after arriving in Beijing.
The entire Gu family was filled with joy.
Lu Zhaoyang, Huang Jingshan, and Old Lady Huang came, Lian Hengruo and Aunt Tang came, and the shop owner came...
Mrs. Hong and Mr. He Chao followed Tong Huaqiong and ran around.
Master Su entertained the guests from outside, while Tong Pandi, Gu Baishuang, Liu Yue'e and Chen Sufen entertained the female guests.
Tong Huaqiong has established a firm foothold in Shengjing these days. As the grandmother of the emperor's grandson, she will be invited to the banquets held by various noble families and officials. Tong Huaqiong will go to any banquets she finds interesting. Some noble families and officials originally took a casual attitude of sending invitations without missing a few pairs of chopsticks, but after in-depth communication with Tong Huaqiong, they found that Tong Huaqiong was not an ignorant country woman or an unscrupulous businessman who was greedy for money as they imagined.
With this appreciation, Tong Huaqiong made several friends.
Therefore, many women from aristocratic and official families attended this peach blossom engagement.
What was even more surprising was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also here.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was personally escorted here by Eunuch Pan, a popular figure around the Emperor.
Everyone understood what the emperor meant. It seemed that the emperor valued the crown prince's common grandmother very much.
The Emperor would not let the Crown Prince leave the palace easily. The Crown Prince's aunt from the common people was only engaged, but the Emperor asked the Crown Prince to come and congratulate her. This shows how much the Emperor values Tong Huaqiong's family.
During this period of time, everyone has seen the emperor's attitude towards the crown prince. He values him more than the previous prince. He personally brings him to his side to educate him and sometimes even brings him to court.
Some time ago, for some unknown reason, Prince Ning was banned from traveling, and the court officials' long-standing calls to make the fifth prince a king fell silent.
Since the death of the crown prince, the emperor only had two sons left, Prince Ning and the fifth prince. There had been a lot of calls for Prince Ning to be made the new crown prince. The emperor suddenly banned Prince Ning from traveling, which made everyone think more.
It is not uncommon for the crown prince to pass the throne to his grandson without mentioning other sons.
Therefore, the signal sent by confining the fifth prince of Ning Wang and not making him a king made the status of the crown prince rise sharply.
Tong Huaqiong thought that the emperor's treatment of the crown prince was not a sign of deep affection between grandfather and grandson. He was putting the crown prince in the limelight and using him to hang his two sons or to test them. As for whether the crown prince would be dealt with by his two sons, it was not within his consideration.
Tong Huaqiong knew the script of the previous life, that the crown prince would eventually inherit the throne.
If the crown prince was defeated, whichever of his two uncles became emperor would kill him to prevent future troubles.
That’s why it is said that imperial power is cruel. In order to keep power in his hands, the emperor can sacrifice anything.
From the crown prince to the crown prince's grandson, everyone is the emperor's pawn.
The arrival of the crown prince created a small climax.
Everyone saluted.
"grandmother."
The Crown Prince pounced on Tong Huaqiong in full view of everyone.
Tong Huaqiong still treats the crown prince the same as before.
"I'm here to congratulate my aunt." said the Crown Prince.
Following the prince's arrival came boxes of engagement gifts.
When Gu Taohua heard that the Crown Prince had arrived, she walked out of the room, but was stopped by the Crown Prince when she was about to pay her respects.
"Aunt, I brought you an engagement gift. These boxes are filled with worldly things like gold and silver. I wonder if you like them." The prince pointed to the boxes behind him.
Gu Taohua's eyes lit up and she said, "I like it. I like it very much."
Who doesn't like gold and silver?
All I can say is that the gift given by the Crown Prince was exactly what she wanted.
The arrival of the Crown Prince caused undercurrents in Shengjing, and some people who had no relationship with Tong Huaqiong sent people to present gifts.
When Tong Huaqiong heard the report from the housekeeper, she thought that these people had no relationship with her, so why did they come to give her gifts? And the gifts sounded quite valuable.
Tong Huaqiong looked at the Crown Prince. This must have been given for the Crown Prince's sake.
The grandson smiled and whispered, "Grandmother, since they are coming to me to give me gifts, you should accept whatever they give. It will be considered as my gift to Aunt."
Tong Huaqiong: “…”
So she doesn't have to return the favor, right?
Tong Huaqiong quickly instructed the housekeeper to arrange rewards for the people who gave the gifts.
Gu Dashu hurried over and said to Tong Huaqiong, "Mother, the women of the Duke of Anguo and the Duke of Yingguo are here."
These people had no connection at all, and Tong Huaqiong couldn't match them up in her mind at all. Just from the names, she knew they sounded extraordinary, and she knew they came for the Crown Prince's sake.
The hostess Tong Huaqiong has to come out to receive the guests.
"Man'er, take the Crown Prince inside."
Tong Huaqiong gave some instructions and went out to greet the guests.
The guests had just been arranged when the Min family and Su Chengmin arrived.
Old Mrs. Min couldn't stop smiling.
The marriage is set today, and the marriage between her grandson and Gu Taohua is set in stone. Her regret that Tong Dajiao did not become her daughter-in-law has finally been made up.
