591 Marriage on the Acropolis
Before Gu Hanhan went home at noon the next day, Oliver and Stanley, a pair of men and women who had successfully paired up and had a new blind date, were sent away with a confused face. After that, what awaits them will be a shared manor, a shared airship, a shared butler, a common public school, and a long forced cohabitation life tied together in the name of a fiancé. This kind of cohabitation, which is in some ways inhumane to both parties, will continue for months or even years, until they are formally married or officially declared engaged and dissolved.
However, the chief chamberlain of Gal never thought that this was inhumane and a merciless oppression of a young man and woman who were pursuing the freedom of love. On the contrary, he thinks that they are very well matched, and they are a suitable pair to be together. Therefore, he made a report to Gu Hanhan, who returned to Xinghua Lane later, with a happy and happy attitude, and told her the great news that the blind date was a complete success at the first time.
"Did it succeed?" Gu Hanhan was also very happy after hearing this, "This is great, Mr. Gal." I knew they were going to be a good match—Oliver, and he was looking for a girlfriend who could control him!"
Then the chief squire of Gal told Gu Hanhan that he had sent Oliver and Stanley to the prepared manor for them to live together, and expected to send them to the same school next semester.
"The school is a public school, with both a junior high school and a high school, which is just right for Master Oliver and Miss Stanley to study at the same time, so that they can cultivate their relationship without being too intimate and have no personal space. He said.
After hearing this, Gu Hanhan was even more satisfied: "Yes, this is long overdue! Minors have to be sent to school to live in a group, how can they be surrounded by tutors at home? What is the use of a teacher learning to be rich and five cars, and a child must not let him feel that he is superior to others in order to learn well!"
"But you have to hurry up about the engagement, Mr. Gerr. It's set early, and it's always boring to drag. She said with concern, and rarely took the initiative to mention it, "Old Mr. Duran should agree with it, is there anything difficult about it, do you need me to go over and explain this matter to him in person?" ”
"Yes, miss. "The preliminary decision on the date of engagement is to be in late June. Although Miss Stanley is not satisfactory in terms of blood, she is better than her father's genetics, and she is still a first-generation mutation, with recessive performance, and she is also a good match for Master Oliver. The Duran family does not need to rely on the bloodline of the married spouse to improve the family name, and Duran himself is the oldest and noblest thorn branch. Since you are marrying into the family, the old gentleman will never disagree with the person you like, Miss. Please rest assured that Miss. It's just formal, it's better if you can talk to the old gentleman in person. ”
Gu Hanhan flipped through the calendar: "At the end of June, isn't there only less than two weeks left, will it be too late?" This is too hasty, I'm afraid we have to prepare to meet Mr. Duran immediately-" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but scratch her head: "Oh, I'm stunned when I mention this, it's a protracted banquet and a complicated religious ceremony, fortunately it's not me who is engaged, otherwise I really want to run away——"
The chief attendant of the garl comforted Gu Hanhan and said, "There is no too complicated ceremony, it is nothing more than a banquet to announce the good news." Mademoiselle, you only need to go back to the mansion on a certain day, make a date with the old gentleman yourself, and then show up on the day of the main banquet, and then ignore the celebratory banquet after that. ”
Gu Hanhan nodded slightly, and he recognized the arrangement of the chief attendant of Gal.
So, the chief attendant of Gal made vigorous preparations for the engagement banquet. First of all, the next day, he arranged for Gu Hanhan to meet with Mr. Old Duran.
Old Mr. Duran has been living in the Acropolis Mansion recently, and Gu Hanhan couldn't call his old man out, so he had to go to see him in person. The airship flew over the Acropolis again, landing on the half-uphill slope of the Duran family's mansion, and the Duran family's guards lined up to greet them, and the prosperity was still the same, but it was uncomfortable. Gu Hanhan thought that he would not be sad anymore, but his heart fluctuated and he couldn't calm down for a long time. She had the great butler who greeted her for nearly a quarter of an hour waiting under the airship before she got up and changed her skirt and walked down the spiral staircase as usual.
The place to meet old Mr. Duran was in the sunshine room of the mansion, the sun was very good, and it was a warm afternoon. On the table were beautiful creamy desserts and fruit ice cups, which were prepared for Gu Hanhan, just like when he first lived here.
Old Mr. Duran was tending to his flowers and trees, and expressed his surprise at Gu Hanhan's arrival, and blamed her for never coming back.
"The room is going to be dusted. He said, "You should come back to the mansion from time to time." It's really unbelievable, what is there to stay in a place like Apricot Blossom Lane?"
The statement "you" obviously made Gu Hanhan embarrassed, and she hurriedly mentioned Oliver's marriage, hoping that old Mr. Duran would not mention the matter of letting her and Anthony move back to the Acropolis Mansion to live.
However, old Mr. Duran was obviously not interested in Oliver's marriage, as if it was not his own child, so he waved his hand casually: "Since there is a suitable candidate, pick a day for the banquet and announce it, and the chief chamberlain will watch it." ”
This attitude of not caring made Gu Hanhan uneasy: "Aren't you going to take a look at that girl?"
"There's no need for that. Old Mr. Duran loosened the soil with the gardener's shovel on his tree, and laughed: "It's not that I'm betrothed. ”
"The chief attendant of the girl's situation told me that there was nothing wrong with it, and that Oliver was indeed of the age of engagement. When old Mr. Durand finished loosening the soil, he threw the gardener's shovel to the servant, clapped his hands, and said, "As long as you marry in obediently, sign the prenuptial agreement prepared by the chief attendant, and do not wait until you have a child in the future to make any dispute over the naming rights of the matrilineal, or the family that wants to send a child back to the matrilineal line, then it is better not to get engaged." ”
As the chief attendant of Gal said, Mr. Duran, who was born in the Thorn Branch, has no vision of the daughter of the Caokou family, and is also happy to see Gu Hanhan's intention to improve the status of the Stan family in the vassal family through this girl's engagement to Oliver in order to cultivate his own wings. He only cared if the girl would sign the prenuptial agreement, declaring that he would renounce everything that was naturally maternal, and give birth to an excellent offspring that belonged entirely to the Duran family, no different from finding a slave girl of blood for Oliver.
The truth is no different. Oliver is no longer the suzerain's own brother, and no one in the Acropolis's rival nobles will marry a daughter, and it is obviously very cost-effective to exchange his marriage contract for Gu Hanhan's more loyalty and sense of belonging to Duran's family name. He was not disgusted by Gu Hanhan's meddling in Oliver's marriage, but was pleased that she was willing to do her best for her status and influence in the Duran family. This means that she is beginning to integrate into the family and recognize her as part of the Turan family as the widow of David Duran.
They quickly finalized the date of their engagement on the 29th of this month. Then the old gentleman of the Duran family nagged about the naming ceremony as a matter of course. Compared with who Oliver is engaged to, Mr. Duran Sr. is obviously more concerned about when Gu Hanhan will officially be named "Duran". The official engagement with the potential has been postponed for three years due to the interference of Lord Su Yu and the Earth God Temple, and other reasons, and the matter of the family name should be carried out as soon as possible. He didn't think there was any reason for anyone to delay any longer, and it would be best to do it together on the day of Oliver's engagement on the 29th, and the high priest was ready anyway. Of course, it would be better if Gu Hanhan agreed to complete the ceremony in advance before the ceremony, so that she would be more justified in presiding over Oliver's engagement - he was willing to retreat and give up the position of the main marriage parent to Gu Hanhan.
This kind of generosity and enthusiasm made Gu Hanhan almost run away, she was really afraid of this old gentleman. It's not that there is any special resistance to the title, as soon as she thinks that she may have to change her name to Hanhan-Duran, or Hanhan-Duran-Gu, she feels that she is simply loveless- She racked her brains perfunctorily and said that the time before the engagement was too tight, and if she had to name it at the same time, she would probably have to be in a hurry, she actually didn't care, but if she messed up the engagement at an important moment in Oliver's life, it would be too sorry for this poor child, and it was really inappropriate for her to be Oliver's parent, how could she shamelessly rob his father, old man, of your errand? She also promised to wait until Oliver got engaged to go to the Super Association to complete the registration that had not been completed, and promised to complete the naming ceremony before this year's New Year, so that she would take the surname Duran, and she also sold Anthony with empty teeth and said that she would definitely let him come to the New Year's dinner at Duran's house, and finally fooled old Mr. Duran and was able to get out after a dinner.
There's endless engagement preparation from there. Invitations are distributed, feasts are prepared, blessings are invited to the high priests of the temple, and more importantly, a prenuptial agreement is drawn up and signed. To that end, an entire team of religious experts and secular legal counsel worked through the night and worked tirelessly for a week to come up with an engagement agreement that was several inches thick and thousands of entries. This agreement was passed on to Patriarch Stan who was flying to the Ganlan spaceship with the Earth Business Expedition via faster-than-light communication, and Patriarch Stan signed the contract without any guilt or hesitation, and then the agreement was personally taken by Chief Squire of Gal to Stanley and Oliver, and they were asked to sign it as well.
After the signing of the treaty, Chief Squire of Gal began to mobilize the resources of the Duran family, giving strong support to the Stan family far away in the Giant Elephant Star Field, including religious titles, various embargoed materials, restricted weapons, and the opening of technical permissions, and everything he promised, and he even mobilized a guard army to the vicinity of the Giant Elephant Star Domain on the pretext of protecting the new trade route that was about to be established, so that the Stan family could pay to hire the high-level abilities among them to obtain a reliable overwhelming force. All these unsolicited bounties were smashed into the obscure family name of "Stan" through the pen of the chief of the garls, enough for the family to flourish through hundreds of dormant years.
Patriarch Stan was grateful for this, and once again offered a generous gift to the chief of the garl attendants.
