Gu Yuan came with the official matchmaker.
Upon meeting, they hadn't even finished exchanging greetings before Tang Jiaojiao pulled him aside and questioned, "Whose idea was this?"
Gu Yuan smiled slightly, "It was decided after discussing with my grandmother."
Tang Jiaojiao sneered, "A favor delivered so eagerly, do you think I care?"
First, sacrificing a career, then coming to propose, thinking that this would intimidate her?
Gu Yuan was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "Cousin, you've misunderstood. Going to Liangzhou was my idea," he paused, "Actually, I no longer wish to join the government through the imperial exams, and it just so happens that I'm needed in Liangzhou now."
Tang Jiaojiao didn't believe him.
Benefiting from connections is ultimately not as stable as joining through the imperial exams. Gu Yuan had been on this path for over ten years, and now he changes just like that?
"Times have changed." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
