Chapter 38: Wedding
Gu Baiyu returned to his yard, stuffed the small red box under his pillow, and prepared to take a good look at it for himself at night.
After cleaning up, Gu Baiyu changed his clothes, and the family was ready to go out.
Speaking of which, there is another custom of Daye's marriage, that is, the daughter before the marriage has to go to the relatives' house to have a meal, which is called "wedding rice".
It's a pity that Mrs. Gu's family is in Jiangnan, and after marrying Prime Minister Gu, her relatives were reluctant to come to Kyoto with her, for fear that they would be said to cling to power, and that future generations would not be sensible, and cause trouble and even affect Prime Minister Gu, so they would avoid Kyoto even for business.
Mrs. Gu was sad, but also moved, her family had done too much for her.
Now that Gu Baiyu is about to get married, there is a trouble, and there is no place to eat this "wedding meal".
The day before yesterday, Mrs. Zhou came to a letter, saying that the Zhou family and the Gu family were like brothers, and Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Gu were sisters, so they would go to Zhou's house to eat this "wedding dinner", which made Mrs. Gu happy.
Before going out, Gu Baiyu didn't see Gu Ruanruan, so he asked.
Mrs. Gu's expression was indifferent, and she said that she had asked, but Gu Ruan Ruan was reluctant to go.
Gu Baiyu shook his head and didn't care about her.
Gu Ruan Ruan was really reluctant to go to Zhou's house, and she was still holding her breath.
After the morning court today, when she saw Prime Minister Gu Cheng and Gu Baifeng returning to the house with a calm expression, she knew that the second prince had not done anything.
It's just that before she and the second prince complained, Licorice sent her a letter from the second prince, told her about the affairs of the court, and scolded her fiercely in the letter, which made Gu Ruan Ruan very angry!
Fortunately, at the end of the letter, the second prince invited Gu Ruan Ruan to the mansion for a "wedding dinner", which could be regarded as giving face, but it was still the idea of giving a sweet date with a stick.
Gu Ruan Ruan could see his thoughts, but today, everyone had betrayed her relatives, and she had no other way than to rely on the second prince.
Gu Baiyu's family had just walked to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and were about to leave, when they saw a sedan chair printed with the logo of the Second Prince's Mansion stopped, the sedan chair was very luxurious, and they also brought a lot of entourage.
When Gu Baiyu heard the intentions of those people, and said that they were ordered by the second prince to pick up Gu Ruan Ruan to have a "wedding dinner", Gu Baiyu and Gu Baifeng glanced at each other, and both turned their eyes to Gu Chengxiang.
The second prince's trip was very high-profile, and he did not shy away from his intention at the door, and said it very loudly, and many people passing by heard it.
There are people who don't know the truth to praise Gu Ruan Ruan, and there are people who support him, and they are more to watch the excitement.
Prime Minister Gu Cheng behaved very indifferently, only saying that it was Gu Ruan Ruan's own ability, and he climbed into the second prince, and he didn't go with her.
As soon as the words fell, Gu Ruanruan, who had received the news, had already walked out in a grand costume.
She was a little afraid that Prime Minister Gu would stop her, but when she really heard Prime Minister Gu say whatever she wanted, she felt that a depression in her heart could not be expressed, and she held it in her heart so that her heart hurt.
Prime Minister Gu took Mrs. Gu to get into the carriage first, and Gu Baifeng got into the other one.
When everyone left, Gu Ruan Ruan walked towards Gu Baiyu.
Without others, Gu Ruan Ruan had made no secret of his emotions.
She looked at Gu Baiyu's gaze with resentment and unwillingness: "Are you particularly proud?" You made the ledger that my father brought to the court today, right? Pretending to be generous on weekdays, it turns out that you're waiting for me here? What do you say that you treat me as your own sister, in fact, you can calculate it so clearly, and you are embarrassed to have a deep sisterhood with me?! ”
She spoke quickly, and her tone was full of anger.
Gu Baiyu waited until she finished speaking, and then said lightly: "Finished?" Is the one I listed fake? It's just that you enjoy the same treatment as me, and you still have to pretend to be miserable, and you know what you think in the confidence you gave to the second prince. ”
Gu Baiyu suddenly felt that it was very boring to talk to her about this, and waved her hand to stop her rebuttal: "The matter has come to this, whatever you want, you know in your heart who the second prince is, I have no opinion if you sell yourself, but you remember, if you want to be unfavorable to your parents and brothers at home, I will never be soft." ”
After Gu Baiyu finished speaking, he didn't want to look at her again, turned around and got into the carriage.
The carriage slowly drove towards the Zhou family, and Ruan Ruan Ruan had hatred in his eyes behind him, almost crushing a mouthful of silver teeth.
The licorice that followed Gu Ruan Ruan didn't dare to breathe, and when Gu Baiyu and the others' carriage was far away, he asked tremblingly, "Little, miss, do we still want to go to the second prince?" ”
"Go! Why not? Don't you see? They're family, I'm just an outsider! Am I not planning for myself, waiting for someone else to eat even the bones?! ”
......
On the carriage, Lingyu wanted to speak and stopped.
"Say whatever you want."
"Miss, second miss, she...... Do you really leave it alone? ”
Gu Baiyu said calmly: "Can I still kill her?" In the end, it is her father's bloodline, I don't care if she dies by herself, as long as she doesn't affect the family, let her go. ”
Lingyu opened her mouth: "If one day, it's really ......"
Gu Baiyu was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "If one day it really affects the family, even if it is a blood sister, I will do it myself." ”
This is Gu Baiyu's principle.
When he was first reborn, Gu Baiyu was not hateful.
But after meeting Xiao Linyan, getting acquainted with him, and being tempted by him, Gu Baiyu suddenly didn't understand.
Heaven gave her a chance to be reborn, family affection, love, and a peaceful life...... Which one is more important than Gu Ruanruan.
It's not worth stopping her original footsteps for someone like that.
......
The Zhou family and the Prime Minister's Mansion were very close to each other, and they arrived after a while.
Gu Baiyu got out of the carriage, and Mrs. Zhou's family, even Xiao Chubhubun, had already arrived at the door to greet him.
Seeing Gu Baiyu coming, Little Fat Dun immediately trotted over, revealing a sweet smile, and seeing that there was no Gu Ruan Ruan following behind, he smiled even more heartily.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Gu exchanged a few words, and couldn't help but ask why Gu Ruan Ruan didn't come.
"People have climbed up to the second prince, and they have been picked up by the second prince's people to eat."
Mrs. Zhou still wanted to say something, Gu Baiyu stepped forward and grabbed her arm affectionately: "Let's go in and talk about it, I just want to ask about the concubine, I hope that the matter of inviting grandma to the prime minister's mansion last time did not affect my sister." ”
Mrs. Zhou knew that this matter was not suitable to talk about here, so she patted her hand and led the person in.
After dinner, Mrs. Zhou ordered someone to send a lot of gifts, saying that she was also Gu Baiyu's half aunt, and these things were regarded as a dowry for Gu Baiyu to lick.
Gu Baiyu accepted it without too much prevarication.
It wasn't until the little fat dun was coaxed to sleep that a group of adults got down to business.
What Gu Baiyu is most concerned about is whether Zhou Guifei's side is implicated.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhou laughed: "What is involved, she is clever!" The concubine sent a letter before you came, and I have to talk to you about it, hey, this is really the biggest fun I've heard in the past six months! ”
