Chapter 315: Marriage 2
Gu Zhenkang hesitated when asked about this question. He threw a serious look at Gu Yunhe, worrying that his son was getting too anxious about this. After all, he spent too much time in the army, and he did not know what the situation was.
So he said, “Yunhe, don’t worry about this matter, I will have my own arrangement. We might not get a good family’s daughter right now, but if you wait until the Second Sister marries Lord Ling, you would definitely be able to marry a noble girl. I don’t want you to marry some businessman’s daughter, as I did before.”
Hearing this, Gu Yunhe felt quite moved. His father really cared about him. Great that it was his father who was in charge. Madame Gu would have favored Yunxuan, or given him a hard time as she did to his father.
“Father, I get it.” Gu Yunhe said, “I am not saying that I want to marry a wife, who should definitely be arranged by father. I am saying that I can marry a concubine first, concubines are not important anyway, are they?”
Marrying a concubine? Gu Zhenkang let out a sigh of relief. He should have thought about this point before! If his son intended to marry concubines, he could just do whatever he wanted to, as long as the legal wife’s position was still available.
Gu Zhenkang felt relieved. “Who do you want? If she is the maid in the mansion, just get one you want. She doesn’t even need to be a concubine.”
Gu Yunhe was aware of this fact. He was the young master, and he did not even need to give any maid a position if he wanted one of them, but that pretty girl was somehow capable. He could offer her a position so that she could feel assured.
“Gu Chaoyan’s maid, at the Qiong Pavilion. Please arrange the matter, so that we can have the wedding soon.” Gu Yunhe said indifferently. In his opinion, it was just one word’s matter if he wanted to get a maid.
The one at the Qiong Pavilion? Gu Zhenkang hesitated. Well, one of the maids was not in his charge and the other was given by Lord Huai. The arrangement might not work smoothly.
He could do something if the contract was signed with him, but if that was Lord Huai’s maid… he probably needed to do something about it.
Gu Zhenkang asked. “Chen Fu.”
Chen Fu entered quickly, “Yes? Old Master?”
“Who is the maid remaining at the Qiong Pavilion?” Gu Zhenkang asked.
“Sword One.” Chen Fu answered honestly.
It was not Qing…. then it wasn’t that easy.”
Gu Zhenkang waved his hand and asked Chen Fu to leave first. Then he turned to Gu Yunhe. “Yunhe, we have got many pretty maids at the mansion, what about getting another one? That Sword One is a maid given by Lord Huai. If you want to marry her as the concubine, we probably have to speak with Lord Huai.”
Hearing this, Gu Yunhe believed that he had spotted the right girl. He was not at all displeased. No wonder that maid looked pretty – she was given by Lord Huai!
“So what? She is just a maid! It is her honor that she can be my concubine. I am sure she is totally willing to do so. As for Gu Chaoyan… she should be thankful that I like her maid! I could probably give her a better time here at the mansion. She has to approve of this, dad. Tell Chaoyan when you have time, and let’s get it done now.” Gu Yunhe said and considered the whole thing easy.
Gu Zhenkang nodded. “Sure, but Gu Chaoyan is at the Jiang Mansion, let’s wait until she returns.”
“At the Jiang Mansion? She is not here?”
