After a few days, news came out from the mansion that they wanted to marry Haixibo Mansion.
The news spread so loudly that even the Hou Mansion next door knew about it.
The old lady Wei also sent someone to ask, she thought that Haixibo House had changed its mind and agreed to marry Gu Zhen.
As a result, after questioning, I found out that the man Haixibo Mansion wanted to marry was Gu Yue, who was going to marry for Zhao Erlang.
The old lady Wei was stunned when she heard the servant's report.
She frowned, "What's going on here? How could Haixibo Mansion have a crush on Yue'er? With Zhao Erlang's reputation, how could Xie and his wife agree to this marriage?"
The series of questions asked by the old lady Wei are exactly the questions of everyone.
The eldest lady Xiao Wei said softly: "My daughter-in-law has heard some gossip, saying that the Yue girl from the house next door is so bold, there is nothing she dare not do."
The old lady Wei frowned, she understood what the eldest lady Xiao Wei said.
In other words, the origin of this marriage is estimated to be wrong.
The old lady Wei sighed, "The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I can't control that much. It's just, Yue'er, why did he fall in love with Zhao Erlang."
The second wife, Wang Shi, said: "Zhao Erlang has a good appearance."
The old lady Wei snorted coldly, "Superficial!"
The second wife, Wang Shi, covered her mouth and laughed, "Girls of this age are superficial. They all like good-looking children."
The old lady Wei shook her head, very disappointed, "Forget it, Yue'er is not a girl from our Hou's house, and our Hou's house has no reason to interfere in her marriage. If the two of them are really engaged, we will send someone to send a gift to the door." , a little expression of my heart."
The eldest wife Xiao Wei bowed and responded, "Daughter-in-law will remember. Daughter-in-law will pay attention to the situation in the next door."
…
On Gu's side, Gu Zhen ran to see Aunt Hu with a gloomy face.
Her eyes were resentful, "Auntie, I'm really not reconciled."
Aunt Hu frowned, "There's nothing to be reconciled to. With Zhao Erlang's reputation, you really think that Gu Yue can enjoy happiness after marrying. Just wait and see, Gu Yue's hard days are yet to come."
Gu Zhen's eyes turned red, "My daughter understands this truth. But my daughter just can't get used to Gu Yue's appearance of being a villain. She started to shiver before she got engaged. If she really got engaged, she would be in a mess."
Aunt Hu reassured Gu Zhen, "Let her be proud. How proud she is now will be how miserable she will be in the future. In short, that Zhao Erlang is not a good match."
"Really?"
Gu Zhen worries about gains and losses.
Aunt Hu sighed, "You didn't say it yourself at the beginning, you just let her marry Zhao Erlang as Gu Yue wanted. Seeing her suffer under Zhao Erlang's hands. Why are you making trouble again now, with a look of disobedience?" Unforgiving."
Gu Zhen gritted her teeth, "My daughter just feels unwilling and can't get over it."
Aunt Hu frowned, "Don't think too much. Even the master has agreed to this marriage, so let's just leave it at that. Let's see, she can be proud these few days."
"How could father agree to this marriage so easily? The marriage in Haixibo Mansion was originally for the daughter."
After speaking, Gu Zhen lay down on the ground and cried.
"It's useless to say these things now. Don't worry, you will definitely be able to marry someone better."
Gu Zhen shook her head again and again, "No. There will be no family with a higher family than Haixibo's."
Gu Zhen cried out of breath.
The maid, Lu Yi, also came to provoke her, "Auntie, big girl, the matchmaker is here. He wants to propose marriage for Haixibo Mansion."
Wow…
Gu Zhen burst into tears.
…
This day was the happiest, most exciting, and most proud day for Gu Yue to grow up.
Similarly, it was also the saddest and most hated day for Gu Zhenchang to grow up.
The matchmaker came to propose a marriage, and the two families exchanged invitations and marriage letters, and the marriage between Gu Yue and Zhao Erlang was officially settled.
And preliminarily set the wedding date, which is tentatively set in August next year.
Gu Yue circled around in the room, "What to do, what to do? There are only eight months left for the wedding. The wedding dress has not yet been embroidered, and the dowry mother has not yet started preparations. My God, there is no time for such a short time."
The servant girl Putao said: "Girl, don't turn around. The servant girl is almost fainted by you."
Gu Yue's face was full of excitement, her eyes were shining brightly, "My girl is happy today."
Putao had no choice but to watch Gu Yue continue to circle around.
The little servant girl came in and reported, "Girl, Madam invites you to Furong Courtyard to talk."
Gu Yue laughed, "I'll go right away."
She put on a fiery red cloak and happily came to Furong Courtyard.
This time, Gu Zhen, Gu Jiu and others also arrived at the Furong Courtyard, and Gu Yue was the latest among the sisters.
Seeing Gu Yue, Gu Jiu stood up first, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the third sister, you are married to a good husband."
"Congratulations to the third sister. I didn't expect that among the sisters, the third sister was the first to make a marriage agreement."
Everyone congratulated Gu Yue one by one.
Gu Yue smiled all over her face, "When I marry into Haixibo Mansion, if you have any difficulties, feel free to ask me. We are sisters, so we will help you if you can."
Gu Zhen snorted secretly.
She pushed Gu Lin away and came to Gu Yue, "I haven't congratulated the third sister yet. The third sister has her wish come true, shouldn't she treat her to a drink?"
Gu Yue looked at Gu Zhen with a smile, "Don't be angry, big sister. It's their loss that the Haixibo Mansion didn't like you, not your fault."
Gu Zhen gritted her teeth, Gu Yue is too shameless a woman. Why didn't Haixibo's mansion take a fancy to her? It's not all Gu Yue's fault.
Gu Yue was able to say such words without blushing, without heartbeat.
Gu Zhen clenched her fists and tried her best to show a smiling face, "Third sister has a heart. Of course it's not my fault that Haixibo's mansion didn't like me. The marriage went wrong only because of villains. Third sister, Who do you think is the villain who ruined my marriage?"
Gu Yue is not so thick-skinned as to be fearless.
Subconsciously avoiding Gu Zhen's gaze, she said, "Did Big Sister misunderstand something? Where did the villain come from?"
Gu Zhen snorted, gritted her teeth and said, "I curse that villain to be struck by lightning and die a terrible death. Even if he is married, he will be tortured by his husband and trampled by his aunt every day."
Gu Yue's face suddenly changed, and she looked at Gu Zhen with dissatisfaction, "Big sister, you are too vicious. You said something so scary about the shadowless thing, are you trying to scare us?"
The muscles on Gu Zhen's face twitched uncontrollably.
Gu Yue dared to call her vicious, this woman is so brazen.
Not to be outdone, Gu Zhen said, "I just cursed a few words, which is called vicious. Isn't that villain who ruined my marriage a hundred times vicious, and should be cut to pieces."
Gu Yue frowned, "Big sister, today is a good day for me, can you pay attention to what you say, don't live and die all day, it's a curse, and it's a thousand cuts. It's unlucky."
Gu Zhen laughed, "I didn't expect the third sister to be particular about winning prizes. Please forgive me for spoiling your good mood. Next time, I will be careful and say more things that the third sister likes to hear."
After finishing speaking, Gu Zhen returned to her seat, her complexion instantly collapsed.
Gu Yue snorted, Gu Zhen was simply unreasonable. If the marriage is gone, it will be gone. Is it interesting to think about that shit all day long
Gu Jiu watched the battle in silence the whole time, not participating, speaking, or mediating. This is a conflict between Gu Zhen and Gu Yue, let them resolve it by themselves.
Gu Shan, on the other hand, wanted to rush out to mediate several times.
It was Gu Jiu who pulled her.
Gu Jiu shook his head at her, telling her not to meddle in other people's business, it would be thankless. Anyway, it is impossible for Gu Zhen and Gu Yue to be grateful to her.
Gu Shan hesitated, but in the end she followed Gu Jiu's advice and did not stand up.
At this time, Mrs. Xie came.
Everyone stood up and greeted Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie raised her hand and pressed it weakly, "Sit down. Yue'er, the marriage has been settled, and the wedding date is tentatively scheduled for next August. Your wedding dress is ready."
Xie's face was calm, not a little bit happy, but a little tired.
A few days ago, Mrs. Xie got angry because of Gu Yue, maybe it was because of her old age, and she never recuperated. Feeling tired all the time.
The doctor was invited to come to the house, and the doctor said that Mrs. Xie was too worried and depressed, which is why she was like this.
The doctor advised Mrs. Xie to relax and think more about happy things.
Xie looked at Gu Yue's smiling face, she couldn't be happy no matter what.
Haixibo Mansion is indeed a first-class and good family, but thinking about how this marriage came about, and Zhao Erlang's reputation, Gu Yue repeatedly risked his life, Xie's good mood disappeared instantly.
Gu Yue smiled shyly, she should be happy now that her wishes come true.
She said to Mrs. Xie: "My daughter listens to my mother. I also ask my mother to arrange two embroiderers to help my daughter embroider her wedding dress."
Mrs. Xie hummed, "I will arrange this matter, and you have to take care of it yourself. You have to start preparing for the meeting ceremony for your future parents-in-law, sisters-in-law and younger uncles. You need to do it yourself to show your sincerity. .”
According to the rules, the meeting gift given by the newlywed daughter-in-law to her husband's family is usually needlework done by herself.
Gu Yue was a little embarrassed, "Mother, my daughter's needlework is not very good. I'm afraid that the embroidery work I made will be rejected by others. It's better to let the embroiderer do it for me."
Xie took a deep look at Gu Yue, "Have you thought about it yet?"
Gu Yue nodded slightly.
Mrs. Xie didn't force it either, "Then let Xiu Niang do it for you. I will prepare the dowry for you. The divorce period is only half a year away, you'd better keep yourself safe and don't make troubles and make Haixibo Mansion dissatisfied with you. .”
Gu Yue looked timid, and said cautiously: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter knows how to behave. My daughter will not mess around."
Don't mess around
I hope so.
Xie typed a few more words, "Get along well with the sisters. You will get married in half a year, and you have to find a date if you want to meet in the future."
"My daughter listens to my mother, and I will get along well with my sisters. As long as the sisters don't care about me like me."
When Gu Yue said this, she deliberately looked at Gu Zhen.
Gu Zhen kept her head down all the time, unable to see her expression clearly, and would not respond to Gu Yue at all.
Gu Yue secretly laughed mockingly, but Gu Zhen could only play tricks.
So what about hatred, so what about anger.
The marriage in Haixibo Mansion finally fell into her hands.
Gu Zhen can only be envious and jealous.
But if Gu Zhen is willing to give in, she doesn't mind pulling Gu Zhen out in the future.
Gu Yue was thinking wildly, looking complacent.
Mrs. Xie coughed lightly, "It's all gone. I'm not feeling well these few days, so you don't need to pay my respects."
"Is mother's health important?" Gu Yue asked nervously.
Mrs. Xie took a deep look at Gu Yue. Does Gu Yue really not know why she is unwell
Immediately afterwards, Xie sneered at himself again.
She already knew the answer, so why did she still have expectations for Gu Yue.
This daughter, forget it, don't mention it.
Xie said indifferently: "Don't worry, you're just tired, just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."
"My daughter is with my mother." Gu Yue looked worried.
Xie waved his hand, "You go back to the room and let Shan'er accompany me."
Gu Yue was tongue-tied, her mother wanted Gu Shan to accompany her instead of her. This kind of situation had never happened before.
Gu Yue was sad, glared at Gu Shan, turned around and left.
Gu Shan is so innocent, and being hated again, she is really helpless.
Xie said to Gu Shan, "Don't worry about her."
After a pause, she said again: "Eldest girl, second girl, fifth girl, you all go back to your room to rest."
"We listen to my wife, and my wife takes care of your health."
Gu Jiu walked ahead and left Furong Courtyard.
As soon as she left the Furong Courtyard, Gu Zhen burst out laughing.
Gu Lin asked curiously: "Big sister, what are you laughing at?"
Gu Zhen laughed and said, "Didn't you see what the third sister looks like? My wife doesn't want her to accompany her, let's see how she gets angry. It's really..." It's so satisfying.
So what if Gu Yue married the person she wanted to marry. For a man, she offended everyone, even Xie Shi, who loved her the most, gave up on her. I really don't know what Gu Yue can be proud of or happy about.
Paying such a high price for a marriage is simply not worth the loss.
Gu Lin seemed to understand that she must give it away. She didn't know that there were so many inside stories about Gu Yue's marriage.
Aunt Bai guessed the truth, but she didn't tell Gu Lin.
Aunt Bai was afraid that Gu Lin wouldn't keep her mouth closed, talking nonsense, and spreading the matter.
Gu Zhen looked at Gu Jiu, "Second Sister, I have already said that she will not end well."
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Zhen with a half-smile, "Is Big Sister happy?"
Gu Zhen's expression froze, she collected herself, and said, "Of course I'm happy."
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, "I hope that Big Sister is really happy, not forced to smile."
Then Gu Jiu said meaningfully: "Since the matter has passed, why not look ahead. You don't have only one choice."
"Second sister said it easily. I'm not you, I don't have so many choices."
Gu Jiu smiled and pointed at himself, "I have a reputation as a sick child, which is no better than your status as a concubine. But I think I still have a lot of choices."
Gu Zhen's expression was unpredictable, gloomy, resentful, envious, jealous, and finally turned into obsession.
"It's what she owes me. I'm happy to see her unlucky."
Gu Jiu didn't want to say more, "You can do whatever you want. Don't delay yourself for a little obsession. That's all for now, big sister can do it for herself."
After finishing speaking, Gu Jiu took the maids and left.
From Gu Jiu's point of view, Gu Zhen's obsession is too deep, and it will not be a good phenomenon in the long run.
If she is too obsessed, she will definitely hurt herself in the end.
Gu Jiu did what she should do, how to choose is Gu Zhen's own business, and Gu Jiu will not interfere.
Gu Zhen watched Gu Jiu's back disappear around the corner, and her thoughts surged.
Finally she snorted coldly and muttered: "You don't understand anything, you don't know my mood at all, why do you say that?"
Gu Lin looked terrified, "Big sister, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Gu Zhen shook her sleeves and left.
Gu Lin stuck out her tongue and ran away.
In the morning, as usual, go to the meeting hall to learn about stewardship.
Today, everyone is here.
Perhaps because of her engagement, Gu Yue also wanted to learn how to be a housekeeper. Only in this way can we deal with it freely when we arrive at Haixibo Mansion.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, teased Gu Yue, "Third girl, I haven't congratulated you yet for your wish to come true."
Gu Yue blushed, "Thank you, Auntie."
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, laughed, "The Haixibo Mansion is a good marriage. At the beginning, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion introduced this marriage to Zhen girl. Who would have thought that this marriage would fall into your hands in the end. What a coincidence. Wrong, things are impermanent."
Gu Yue's complexion changed, but she was clearly prepared to deal with various situations, "Auntie is very true, it is true that things are impermanent. Maybe it is because I have a better relationship with Haixibo Mansion, so the final marriage is not a matter of fate." will fall on me."
"shameless!"
Gu Zhen muttered something in a low voice, which was very clear in the small meeting hall.
The air suddenly became quiet, and the scene was once very embarrassing.
Everyone exchanged glances with each other without making a sound.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, had a half-smile, "Girl Zhen, what did you just say?"
Gu Zhen raised her head, looked at Gu Yue, and showed a smiling face, "My niece just said that the third sister's face is so tender that water can be squeezed out."
Ha ha…
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, laughed heartily, but her face was tense.
These girls in the second room are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Gu Yue stared at Gu Zhen with anger in his eyes.
Gu Zhen raised her eyebrows, "Third Younger Sister is watching what I do."
Gu Yue suddenly grabbed the abacus on the table and threw it at Gu Zhen.
At the critical moment, it was Gu Jiu who had sharp eyes and quick hands, and grabbed Gu Yue's wrist.
Gu Yue struggled, "Second Sister, let me go."
