Chapter 57: The Saddest Wedding (I)
On February 22, the seventeenth year of Sheng Cang, today is a sad day, but today is the day when Zhu Tianyi marries Gu Yan as a side concubine.
Three twos are enough for two, but even more two are still to come.
Originally, Zhu Tianyi and Gu Yan's wedding date was set for January 15, but because of the previous plague, the wedding date was postponed, so that it was postponed to February 22.
Gu Qingwan, as the concubine of Nanhou Mansion, is also Gu Yan's sister, so Gu Yan got married, and Gu Qingwan naturally wanted to go to the wedding banquet with Zhou's family as her mother's family.
Therefore, Gu Qingwan got up early in the morning in a rare good mood and asked Zhuyin to dress her up.
She specially picked the lotus leaf green gauze skirt that Qin Mochen gave her to wear today, and even the bamboo sound was very strange.
When did your own lady think about it and plan to wear a bright dress?
Didn't she have to persuade her own young lady for a long time before she was willing to change it?
Of course, Gu Qingwan naturally couldn't tell her that she was wearing so green today just to sarcastically mock others. As long as she thought that Zhu Tianyi's head would be green later, she was in a very good mood.
"Miss, why are you so happy today?" Takene asked out loud in confusion.
Miss, is it because the third prince is going to marry someone else, so it will become like this because of excessive sadness?
Tsk, what a pitiful young lady! Obviously, it should be the third prince's concubine, but now she has to go to her ex-fiancΓ©'s wedding with a smile on her face.
Zhuyin deeply sympathized with Gu Qingwan in her heart. But she completely forgot that it was Gu Qingwan who took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage.
After Gu Qingwan freshened up, she had just walked out of the gate of Qinxue Garden, and found Gu Yan in a pale pink wedding dress standing by the door waiting for her.
Gu Yan was carried into the Three Princes' Mansion as a concubine, so she was not qualified to wear a red wedding dress. Even Gu Yan, who is a side concubine, can't wear a red wedding dress.
"Third sister, what's the matter?" Gu Qingwan smiled lightly and spoke.
"Second sister seems to be in a good mood?" Gu Yan looked at Gu Qingwan, who was dressed in green, expressionlessly, and a hint of mockery appeared in her dull eyes, "Second sister is gloating like this?" β
You can see all this? Gee... What a failure!
Gu Qingwan didn't care about Gu Yan's tone at all, and said lightly: "How can it!" In addition to the county lord's palace clothes, I only have white and green clothes. The three princes are married, I can't wear a palace costume to go, right? The white color is even more unwearable. Sister, you said yes, right? β
Gu Qingwan looked at the crowded Nanhou Mansion and asked, "Why hasn't the third sister prepared yet?" In half an hour, you'll be on the sedan chair. Don't miss the auspicious time later. β
"It's just a concubine, where is the auspicious time and the bad time?" A sneer appeared on Gu Yan's gloomy face, "I'm just here to ask you, is the evidence you gave reliable?" β
"Is my sister suspicious of me?" Gu Qingwan said softly, "Don't worry." I'm principled. I won't lie to you with those fake things. What's more, what good am I doing if I lied to you? β
"Hehe, better so." Gu Yan put down a sentence, turned her head and left. But when she just turned around to leave, she turned around again, with a kind of complexity in her eyes, and said, "Gu Qingwan, you... Do you really not care about the three princes? β
Care about? What's that? Gu Qingwan sighed lightly in his heart.
You don't know how to cherish me yesterday, however, you can't climb up to me today!
Gu Qing pulled his red lips lightly, looked at Gu Yan, who was still in love with Zhu Tianyi, and said, "I will never waste my feelings." β
"I see." After saying that, Gu Yan really left without looking back this time.
Gu Qingwan sighed secretly in his heart, Gu Yan hadn't understood yet, it was impossible for Zhu Tianyi to have her in his heart. If she continues like this, she will only be hurt.
Zhuyin stepped forward and said timidly: "Miss, the slave maid thinks that the third miss is so terrible now!" β
Gu Qing hooked her lips, people always have to grow up, as long as they don't provoke her, everything is easy to say; On the contrary, no matter how terrible Gu Yan is, once she provokes her, she will not be soft!
Gu Qingwan and Zhuyin came to Jingdeyuan slowly, today Gu Yan and Gu Yan got married, they both came to Jingdeyuan to say goodbye to the old lady, rather than being held by others at that time, saying that she didn't have the Hou Mansion in her heart, it was better to come early, it was impossible for her to go anywhere today, after all, she was ready to watch the joke!
When Gu Qingwan arrived at Jingdeyuan, Gu Mingzhen had already come, and in addition to Gu Mingzhen, there were only the youngest fourth lady in the house, Gu Yan, and her biological mother, Aunt Su, and Zhou, Gu Yan and Gu Yan had not yet arrived.
The Zhou family should be busy preparing to take care of the marriage. If it was only Gu Yan's marriage, she would never be so positive.
Gu Yan lay beside the old lady Ma and said some flattering words, and the old lady was amused and laughed.
However, it should have been a happy picture, but in Gu Qingwan's opinion, it was extremely awkward.
Gu Qingwan looked at the two of them with a flat expression, and drank tea with a teacup by himself, thinking about how time passed so slowly.
Although the old lady Ma was sitting on the seat, her neck had long been unable to suppress looking out of the door, and her impatient expression slowly climbed up, looking at Gu Mingzhen, who was still sitting on the side drinking tea, and said irritably: "Why hasn't the welcoming team of the Three Princes' Mansion come yet?" It will be unlucky when the auspicious time passes. β
"I've sent someone to see it, it should be coming soon." Gu Mingzhen hurriedly got up and looked outside, and kept walking around the door, showing that he was anxious at the moment.
"Old lady, don't worry, don't worry, maybe the third prince will be on the road at this time!" Gu Qing said a word without pain or itching.
Because she looked at Nanhou dangling in front of her, she really had a headache, and her eyes were going to be spent.
Finally, moment after moment in the past, when the old lady was about to wait impatiently, a little maid in the front yard hurriedly came and said; "Old lady, Hou Ye, the team of the Three Princes' Mansion is here."
Along with the messenger came in with the housekeeper of the Three Princes' Mansion.
However, Ma and Gu Mingzhen, who were in excitement, directly ignored it.
"Here? Good, good, good. Go and tell those two girls to get ready. The old lady Ma Shi said three good words in succession, which was enough to prove the excitement and excitement in her heart.
Also, his two granddaughters are going to marry into the Three Princes' Mansion, although one is a side concubine and the other is a concubine, when it is a good one, it can be said that it is a relative of the emperor!
The corners of Gu Qingwan's mouth hooked a beautiful arc, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
Hope you'll be able to laugh later!
Sure enough, in the next moment, the smile on Ma's face froze on his face.
"Huh? What about the Three Princes? Only then did Ma discover the existence of the housekeeper.
The housekeeper took two steps forward, bowed down and said, "Back to the old lady, my Royal Highness is busy with official business, so the matter of welcoming relatives will be replaced by the old slave for the time being." β
Joke! When a master marries a son, how can he be replaced by a slave? If it spreads, Nanhou Mansion will not want to gain a foothold in Shengjing City in the future!
"You said the third prince didn't come?" Ma's eyes stared gloomily at the butler who had come to greet the third prince in his place, as if the butler would tear him apart if he said another word she didn't want to hear.
"Yes." The butler raised his head and looked directly at Ma, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
Ma Shizhi was so angry by the housekeeper's attitude that his chest hurt, "Heh, what can be more important than marrying?" He made it clear that he looked down on our Nanhou Mansion! β
"Old lady, you can eat this food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. The three princes are busy with official business, and these trivial matters can only be shared by our minions. The housekeeper looked at the pale-faced Ma, and said in a weird manner.
The implication of his words is that Gu Yan and Gu Yan are not just side concubines and concubines, what is there to make a fuss about? In the future, there will be more beauties in the Three Princes' Mansion!
Gu Qingwan looked at the domineering housekeeper of the Three Princes' Mansion and the Ma clan who was deflated but couldn't have a seizure, and smiled secretly in his heart.
According to the customs of the Gufeng Continent, a man marrying a side room is also to marry the media, and ask the master of ceremonies to preside over the wedding. Therefore, Gu Yan and Zhu Tianyi also want to visit the church to get married.
However, the groom's official did not appear when they got married, and the woman's face was slapped in the face.
Ma's attitude towards the steward of the Three Princes' Mansion was not safe, which could be regarded as offending him, which was not a wise move. In the future, if this housekeeper wants to embarrass Gu Yan and Gu Yan, it is not a matter of words.
After all, the housekeeper has real power, and Gu Yan is just a nominal side concubine!
I'm afraid that if this happens, both sides will be in a bad mood, right?
"Steward Zhu, this is indeed a bit unspeakable, right?" Gu Mingzhen also had some haze in his heart at this time, and the third prince was putting his face under his feet.
"Lord Hou is angry, and it's a pity that the third prince can't come, but there is really something that can't leave." Steward Zhu waved at Nanhou.
Gu Qing's eyes were mocking, this Steward Zhu is worthy of being Zhu Tianyi's right-hand man, and he is also a good person.
Gu Qing's lips hooked slightly, then he got up and looked at Nanhou and reminded kindly, "Master Hou, it's not too early, it's time to let the eldest sister and the third sister get on the sedan chair." β
That's it, just give them a ride, otherwise they will be consumed here, how will the following drama be sung?
When Gu Mingzhen turned his head, he happened to see Gu Qingwan's meaningful smile, and his heart was cold.
What is this wicked girl going to do with it?
Since the contact in the past few months, he has deeply felt the changes in Gu Qingwan's body, whether it is cold and indifferent in temperament, or decisive and ruthless in doing things, he can see it clearly as a bystander.
Today's marriage with the Three Princes' Mansion is related to the future direction of the Hou Mansion. He was really afraid of this evil obstacle, for fear that something would happen to her today and ruin this marriage.
So, Gu Mingzhen decided to focus on Gu Qingwan today, so that she could control it before she could do anything.
However, Gu Qingwan really reluctantly said that he was really thinking too much, because it was not her who was going to do things this time, but Gu Yan, who he loved the most before!
