Chapter 322: Preparation of Gifts
In any case, Xie Shurou and Mu Hongsheng's shopping activities on this day were generally successful. The two girls happily shopped, although Mu Hongshang didn't see the desired gift in Linlang Pavilion, but Xie Shurou promised to help her draw a new jewelry look, and also talked to the craftsman of Linlang Pavilion, and asked him to come to the door to see the pattern customization in a few days.
And this, Gu Yilan, who was far away in Ningling, was a little unclear about what her mood was.
The carriages, horses, guards, and servants sent by Mrs. Gu to pick up Gu Yilan arrived in Ningling before noon, and they brought a letter from Gu Furao himself, causing the county lord's back house to be in chaos all day. Gu Sanye and Gu Yilan's eldest brother, father and son, sat on the chair without saying a word, while Gu San's grandmother cried bitterly while holding the letter from her mother-in-law.
While crying, she tugged at her daughter distressedly, and repeated repeatedly: "Lan'er! It's the mother who is incompetent, and the mother can't stand you! I never expected that your grandfather and grandmother would be so ruthless, and they would really respond to the family affairs of the Anguo Mansion. Lan'er! Poor kid! If I had been in Beijing at the time, even if I had to tear my face with your grandmother, I would never have let her treat you like this! ”
"Mother," Gu Yilan repeated the same sentence N times in a good-natured manner: "My daughter is willing to marry the Duke of Anguo, and she is willing to marry Prince Mu." ”
"O my poor boy!" Grandma Gu San seemed to be unable to hear Gu Yilan's words, and still cried fiercely: "They don't have a heart!" Gu family is important, isn't my daughter's lifelong event important? My Lan'er, why should I be wronged like this? ”
"Mother," Gu Yilan took a deep breath and began to repeat her previous answer: "My daughter is not wronged, my daughter is willing to marry Master Mu." ”
"They raised you to be so sensible just to manipulate you!" Grandma Gu San hugged Gu Yilan, and it seemed that she was so distressed that she would die in the next second: "My poor daughter! Why do they do this to you? ”
"Mother," Gu Yilan held back the deep feeling of powerlessness in her heart, and still repeated calmly: "I am willing to marry the Anguo Mansion." ”
"My poor Lan'er!" Grandma Gu San's tears almost fell like a big splash: "You and the eldest son of the second master of the Lin family, what a good family affair, golden boy and jade girl, you were mixed by your old and confused grandfather and grandmother!" ”
"Mother," Gu Yilan looked at Grandma Gu San, who seemed to be unable to understand human words, and persuaded her: "Grandfather and grandmother are for the good of their daughter, and mother must not misunderstand the intentions of the second elder." ”
"My poor Lan'er!" Grandma Gu San held Gu Yilan's shoulder and shook it vigorously: "You are so sensible and willing to think about them, you don't want to think about it, if they are willing to plan for you, where will you end up today." They are exchanging your life for the glory of the family! Child, my mother feels sorry for you! ”
Gu Yilan looked at Grandma Gu San, who was hazy with tears in her eyes, and finally gave up her plan to continue persuading. She was silent for a moment before she asked, "What does Mother want?" My grandfather and grandmother have already agreed to my marriage to Master Mu, and my mother knows in her heart that this marriage has been decided and cannot be reversed. ”
"Why did they book you out so casually," Grandma Gu San's coquettish face covered with tears showed a little indignation: "Why don't you ask me and your father!" Why not ask yourself! ”
"Mother," Gu Yilan replied, "My grandfather and grandmother wrote to ask. Although the father and mother were unwilling to let their daughter marry into the Anguo Mansion, the daughter herself was willing. ”
"Lan'er!" Grandma Gu San cried out again: "It's all this time, and you still speak for them." Mother and you, this is a lifelong event, you can't be confused! If you don't want to ......"
"Shut up!" Gu Sanye, who was silent for a long time, suddenly slammed the table, startling Gu San's grandmother.
"It's come to this, what do you want!" Gu Sanye seemed to vent the anger and depression accumulated in his chest all at once, and began to be angry at his wife: "Could it be that you still want Lan'er to refuse to marry?" Lan'er's husband's family is the Anguo Mansion, and this matter is already a certainty, if you dare to say more, I will divorce you. ”
"But......" Seeing that her husband was so angry, Grandma Gu San looked a little shrunken, but she still opened her mouth with a snort: "How do you explain to the Lin family......"
"How else! Straight! Gu Sanye was so angry that his face was like gold paper, and as soon as he reached out and picked up the teacup, he fell directly to the ground: "What are you crying for, who are you crying for!" ”
"But...... But ......" Gu San's grandmother was so frightened by Gu Sanye that she shed tears, but she didn't dare to cry: "I...... I'm not worried, where is the Lin family offended. Husband, you ......"
"Then the Anguo Mansion will be offended?" Gu Sanye gritted his teeth and sneered at Gu San's grandmother: "If Lan'er really refuses to marry, do you think the Anguo Mansion will give up." ”
After Gu Sanye finished saying this, he slammed the door and went out, Gu San's grandmother lowered her head and silently shed tears, and she didn't say anything anymore. The eldest brother of the Gu family sat with his head down for a while, and then stood up and prepared to leave, Gu Yilan immediately followed his eldest brother and turned around, preparing to take the opportunity to turn around and leave.
However, as soon as she took a step, Grandma Gu San hurriedly wiped her tears and raised her head, and said a surprising sentence: "Lan'er, go back and change your clothes and wait for me, when I clean up, we have to go out." ”
"Mother?" Gu Yilan turned back a little strangely, she originally planned to go back to the room to pack her things, but her grandmother was in a hurry to take her back to Beijing, and she had to leave in a few days.
"Now you already have your in-laws, although ...... Although ......" Grandma Gu San quickly sat down in front of the dressing table, and while calling the girl to fetch water to wash her face, she wanted to shed tears again, and finally held back: "Forget it, just like your father, there is no room for maneuver in this matter." Lan'er, you...... Alas! I can only accept my fate......"
Gu Yilan: ??? I think it's good, what is resignation. So Mother, you really didn't take what I said to heart???
Grandma Gu San didn't wait for Gu Yilan to answer, and continued to herself: "No matter what, now you are already a person with a mother-in-law's family. When you go back to Beijing from Ningling, how can you not bring some gifts to the in-laws and grandparents in the Anguo Mansion. No, the old lady in the Anguo Mansion, the Duchess of Anguo and your serious mother-in-law must not be rude. I'm going to take you out for a walk and get some gifts. Also, Sister Mu is your serious aunt right now, and the things you prepared before are too simple, at least you have to have some decent jewelry and jade jewelry. Alas! Really, your dowry must be purchased quickly, but I ...... I'm ...... Alas! ”
