Chapter 673: Gu Ting’s Big Marriage
The twenty-fourth of the twelfth lunar month is suitable for marriage!
Gu Ting's big wedding, good luck!
Eighty tables were held in Gu's mansion to entertain relatives, friends, and colleagues in the officialdom.
Apart from Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao and his wife, many members of the royal family also went there.
Everyone said that the royal family only attended Gu Ting's wedding banquet for Gu Jiu's sake.
Male guests and female relatives sit at separate tables.
With so many guests, it is obvious that Gu's servants are not enough.
He could only borrow manpower from Mr. Gu's house and the Hou's mansion.
Gu Jiu also arranged for Qing Zhu to lead twenty maids, big and small, to the Gu residence to help and greet the guests.
The auspicious time has come, and the bridegroom has returned.
Inside the auditorium, there were many people.
The bride and groom worship heaven and earth once, and the high hall twice, and husband and wife worship each other, and the ceremony is complete.
Gu Ting could bear everything else, that is, when he paid his respects to the high hall for the second time, when he thought that the person sitting on it was Mrs. Xie, he felt uncomfortable and became very irritable.
If it wasn't for today's big day, he would definitely make a fuss and invite out the spirit card of his mother Su's.
Of course, Mr. Gu would never agree.
If there was a quarrel, the father and son would definitely be at odds with each other, neither of them could convince the other.
Gu Ting took a deep breath and endured it!
Tomorrow, he will lead his wife Pei Man to pay homage to his biological mother Su Shi.
When he arrived at the new house, the moment he lifted the hijab, Gu Ting was amazed by the bride.
Wow!
"The groom was dumbfounded when he saw the bride."
"Ha ha……"
Everyone laughed in good faith.
The bride blushed and didn't dare to raise her head.
Gu Ting smiled stupidly, and only reacted after being reminded.
After drinking the Heji wine, Gu Yu was dragged to drink at the banquet.
Happy day today,
If you are not drunk, you will not return.
Gu Jiu stayed in the new house, walked up to her with a smile on her face, "I've seen my sister-in-law!"
Pei Man hurriedly stood up, her face flushed, and she was at a loss.
In terms of identity, she is already Gu Jiu's sister-in-law.
But in her heart, she is still a girl from the Pei family, and Gu Jiu is the high-ranking Mrs. Chao, a cousin.
Hearing Gu Jiu call her sister-in-law suddenly, she didn't get used to it for a while, and was a little nervous.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down. You are the bride today, and everything is about you."
Pei Man smiled shyly, "I told you to read a joke."
She lowered her head, looking shy.
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "I really should ask my brother to come and see. He must be too stupid to walk after seeing his sister-in-law."
The maids all smiled kindly.
Pei Man became more and more shy and nervous, keeping her head down, not daring to look into the eyes of everyone.
Hu joked: "The bride is shy. Second aunt, please stop laughing at the bride."
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law San is right. Two people will stay here with the bride, and we will all go out to drink. Today is a big day, so we need to drink a few more glasses."
"Second aunt said yes."
The Hu family left behind two capable maidservants for Pei Man to use.
"Don't be restrained when sister-in-law enters the door. If you need anything, ask these two maids to do it. They are all old people in the house and know each other very well."
Pei Man nodded with a smile, "Thank you three...brothers and sisters."
At this moment, Pei Man finally recognized her new identity from the bottom of her heart.
Hu followed behind Gu Jiu and walked out of the new house.
"The bride is so beautiful."
Gu Jiu laughed, "When sister-in-law and third brother got married, I still remember that day, sister-in-law was also amazing."
Mrs. Hu laughed and waved her hands, "Don't mention the past. People are getting old, and they are almost turning into yellow-faced women."
"Sister-in-law is young, so she becomes a yellow-faced woman. Like me, even if I am forty or fifty years old, I will not admit that I am a yellow-faced woman." Gu Jiu said angrily.
Hu said with a smile: "How can I compare with my second aunt. I can't compare, I can't compare."
But Gu Jiu said: "Of course it's comparable, as long as my sister-in-law is willing, we will always be eighteen years old."
Hahaha……
Everyone laughed.
Gu Jiu also laughed, her heart was always eighteen years old.
The banquet was very lively, and it was rare for everyone to get together so neatly, and everyone was excited.
Halfway through the banquet, Gu Jiu was already slightly tipsy.
"No, no. I have to find a place to rest for a while, and drink with you later."
"Second aunt, please come back early, don't hide from the wine."
"Drink slowly."
Gu Jiu waved her hand, supported by the maid, went to the wing to rest.
The ground dragon was burned in the wing room, which was very warm.
Gu Jiu tore off the cloak, threw it aside, and lay down on the couch.
Nanny Fang brought a quilt to cover Gu Jiu, "Ma'am, be careful not to catch a cold."
Gu Jiu squinted her eyes and laughed, "With Mammy by my side, I'm sure I won't catch a cold."
Nanny Fang stood by the couch, "Madam, rest at ease, this servant will watch over you."
Gu Jiu hummed, closed her eyes, and rested in peace.
The room is warm and covered with quilts.
Not long after sleeping, Gu Jiu's body became sweaty, sticky and uncomfortable.
She pushed the quilt away, but she was still in a daze and didn't wake up completely.
Someone helped her cover her life.
Feeling something was wrong, she opened her eyes suddenly.
"why you!"
Xiao Qin'er laughed loudly, "Who could it be if it wasn't me?"
Gu Jiu looked around, "My maid? Where's Nanny Fang?"
"Tell them to fetch hot water. Nanny Fang is getting old and feels uncomfortable after drinking, so she is resting next door. Do you want to call her?"
Gu Jiu sat up from the couch, her mind still a little confused.
"Why are the fourth siblings here?"
"Drink too much, go to the wing to rest. I heard that you are also there, so I came to have a look. I didn't expect my sister-in-law to kick the quilt when she was sleeping."
Xiao Qin'er's cheeks were bright red, and when she spoke, the smell of alcohol came out of her mouth. Obviously not less.
Gu Jiu smiled at her, "Thank you fourth sibling."
Xiao Qin'er raised her eyebrows and smiled, "The way my sister-in-law looked at me just now, did she suspect that I'm going to kill you?"
Gu Jiu shook her head, "I'm just surprised that the maid and Nanny Fang are not here."
"Blame me, I didn't think that sister-in-law would wake up so soon. Don't worry, the servant girl will come back soon after fetching hot water." Then he said: "I promise that I have no ill intentions towards sister-in-law."
Gu Jiu smiled, "I know. Didn't the fourth sibling say they want to rest, and the next room is still empty?"
"It doesn't matter to me, it's good to talk to my sister-in-law. It's been a long time since we two, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, sat down and had a good talk."
Xiao Qin'er was a little emotional, full of nostalgia for the past years.
Gu Jiu got off the bed and stretched.
After squinting for a while, he was indeed much more energetic. Could have three more drinks.
At this time, the servant girl called for hot water.
The maid was very thoughtful and made a pot of hot tea.
"Ma'am is awake!" The servant girl became nervous and hurriedly waited for Gu Jiu to wash up.
After washing up and drinking a cup of hot tea, Gu Jiu suddenly felt refreshed.
"The fourth brother and sister also have a drink to hangover."
Xiao Qin'er nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and took a light drink.
She drank and felt a little sad.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you worried? I'm so worried that I can't sleep. "
Gu Jiu felt amused, "What am I worried about?"
Xiao Qin'er hiccupped, "His Royal Highness was spanked, and his errands were gone. You don't have to worry about all kinds of rumors outside."
Gu Jiu stretched out his hand and waved it twice in front of her eyes, "I'm worried about me, why are you worried?"
Xiao Qin'er stared at Gu Jiu, "I'm afraid! I'm afraid that His Majesty will dislike the empress's lineage, and I'm afraid that one day I will be buried with the imperial power. It doesn't matter if I die, it's just a child, I don't want them to suffer."
Gu Jiu was surprised, "Have you said this to His Highness Fourth?"
Xiao Qin'er nodded, "How could it be possible that I didn't say anything. But he told me to shut up, saying that I was worrying unnecessarily, and that I was bewitching people with evil words. Sister-in-law, if you judge me, am I really worrying unnecessarily? That's Your Highness, immediately Your Highness, who has made countless contributions. If you say you are out of favor, you will be out of favor, it is terrible."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Qin'er burped again.
Gu Jiu asked the maid to pour a cup of tea for Xiao Qin'er, and then sent all the maids away.
She said, "You're just worrying for nothing. I don't worry about it. You have nothing to worry about."
Xiao Qin'er was stunned, "Sister-in-law is not worried?"
"Why worry?"
Xiao Qin'er didn't understand, didn't understand.
Gu Jiu said simply and clearly: "Liu Zhao is relieved of his errand, he is still His Highness the First Prince. Besides His Majesty the Emperor, does anyone dare to give him face?"
Xiao Qin'er couldn't react, "But aren't you afraid?"
"What's so scary. Is it missing arms and legs, or can't afford three meals a day, so I have to change to two meals a day? Life is still going on, even more chic than before."
Xiao Qiner smiled wryly when she heard the words, "Sister-in-law is really free and easy. I am not as free and easy as sister-in-law. Sometimes I think too little, and sometimes I think too much. Cousin always says that I don't have to worry about serious things. "
After finishing speaking, Xiao Qin'er laughed loudly, "What's serious, isn't it all nonsense. I envy my sister-in-law, I really envy you. You live a comfortable life, and I'm not as good as you."
Gu Jiu said, "You're drunk!"
Xiao Qin'er shook her head, "Maybe she's really drunk. Remember, don't let me down, don't let me lose even my last hope."
She got up staggeringly, and walked out the door of the wing.
Walking to the door, he still didn't forget to turn around and remind Gu Jiu, "Remember, don't let me down, at least let me witness another possibility."
A tear fell from the corner of Xiao Qin'er's eye.
She shook her head and left the room decisively.
Gu Jiu was inexplicably melancholy.
She understands the other possibility that Xiao Qin'er mentioned!
There are no concubines, no sons and daughters, and you can live freely.
Men are busy with their future, and women don't have to be trapped in the house, they can be busy with their careers.
Gu Jiu has done things that many women would never dare to think about.
Set an example to many.
As a woman, it turns out that I can live like this.
If she was sober, Xiao Qin'er would definitely not be able to say "at least let me witness another possibility".
She would hold her head high and look condescendingly on others.
Only through alcohol can she speak out what is buried in her heart.
Gu Jiu let out a long sigh.
