Chapter 186 Invitation from Duke Qi's Mansion
Chapter 186 Invitation from Duke Qi's Mansion
The Bai family was very excited to see the betrothal gifts, especially Doctor Bai, who looked at Bai Shushu and said, "It seems that the Gu family values you very much, and even the betrothal gifts are so generous. I will be relieved when you marry to the capital in the future. Don't worry, your dowry is also the best, although it is a little less than Miss Gu's doctor. But you are the brother-in-law after all, so it is reasonable for you to have less than him."
Bai Shushu felt shy and happy when she heard the compliments from the people around her.
After listening to Doctor Bai's words, he said shyly: "I know, Daddy. He is the eldest brother, and I should respect him."
She always thinks that he will get married in the near future, so she doesn't care much about the betrothal gift.
He also knew this. His betrothal gift was the best in the Bai family, so he was naturally happy.
On the day of the wedding, Doctor Bai choked up when he saw Bai Shushu dressed as a groom: "You are about to get married. You must remember what your father told you. You must do a good job as a doctor. The Gu family has a large population. You must be filial to your elders and take good care of your brothers and sisters. Your father-in-law is the third husband of the Gu family, but now the head of the Gu family is the first husband. You must grasp the right measure in the middle. Another thing is that you must speak openly to your wife and don't hide anything. Otherwise, you will suffer the loss. I believe that the Gu family is a family that attaches great importance to rules. As long as you do a good job as a doctor, no one will dare to disrespect you."
Doctor Bai was speaking with all his heart, hoping that his son would be happy.
Bai Shushu felt sad when she thought that she had to marry so far away and might not have the chance to return home in the future.
Doctor Bai saw that he was crying and said quickly, "Don't cry, or you will have to put on your makeup soon. Just remember what I said and stay at Gu's house. But if anyone bullies you, write to us and tell us. We in the Bai family are not pushovers."
After Doctor Bai finished talking to Bai Shushu, he went outside. Bai Shushu was going to board the boat. He would travel by water.
The water route is also safe, there are soldiers and officers, and there are also people from the Gu family to pick us up.
His dowry had already been transported to the capital, and after he had been on the boat for almost half a month, he finally arrived in the capital.
This is also Bai Shushu’s first time to visit the capital.
He was quite curious about the capital city, having only heard of it before. He felt both worried and happy at the thought of living there in the future.
However, due to the rules, he could not lift the curtain to look outside, otherwise people would say that he, a young man from Shicheng, had no manners.
We took a sedan chair all the way to Gu's house, where people were already having fun.
Bai Shushu was taken to the Gu family because she was wearing a veil, so no one could see anything. Hearing that the Gu family was very lively, she just felt that the Gu family was very big.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he was finally able to sit up on the bed and rest.
It was very quiet around, which made Bai Shushu feel a little uneasy. His personal servant Yang Liu took care of him and then stood by to serve him.
Gu Yao looked at the red lanterns in the house and was very happy. Her children finally got married.
She came to Han Yuqing's side and said with a smile: "I didn't expect An An to get married and become a mother in the future. I really didn't expect it."
Although Han Yuqing was quite tired, after all, she had to take charge of Gu An's wedding, and she was his daughter after all.
But thinking that he would meet a newlywed tomorrow, he said to Gu Yao: "My dear wife, let's take a rest first. We have another newlywed couple to meet tomorrow."
Gu Yao sighed for a while and then hugged Han Yuqing to sleep. After all, there were many things to do tomorrow. Fortunately, she had asked for two days off.
The procedure on the second day was the same as when Gu Ping got married. Everyone showed respect to Bai Shushu and was very enthusiastic.
Bai Shushu also knew that the Gu family had many people, and their family also had many people, but the Gu family was a fifth-rank official in the capital, so naturally they were different from Shi Cheng.
He found that the Gu family attached great importance to rules and were very polite. Even their house was beautifully built, fresh and elegant, which made him very happy.
Especially the separate courtyard of his wife, which looks very grand. It has two entrances. Although it is only a two-entry house, it is also very large, enough for their family to live in.
Lin Wulang looked at Bai Shushu and smiled kindly, "Shushu, after you get married, live in peace with your family. If you have nothing to do, come and talk to us, or we can go to the farm together. There are many beautiful places in the capital. If you have time, you can ask An An to take you there."
The Gu family is pretty good. They don’t restrict them from going out as long as they are safe.
And there will be no restriction on the wife taking her husband out together, after all, they are a young couple.
Although Gu Yao has set rules here, people will feel more comfortable following the rules.
She just wanted to make the house more disciplined so that a good family tradition could be maintained.
But it doesn't mean that we have to put people into the shell of rules. Wouldn't that make life very uncomfortable?
Bai Shushu's eyes lit up when he heard that he could go out. He also liked going out in Shicheng.
After all, the rules in Shicheng are not that strict. Fortunately, it is different in the Gu family in Beijing. He thought that once he arrived at the Gu family, he would never be able to step out of the Gu Mansion again.
Gu Yao looked at the actions of Gu An and Bai Shushu and knew that they had a good relationship.
Although the two of them are attracted to each other, she still hopes that her children will have happy marriages.
The next day, Gu Yao had already gone to work. Naturally, Lin Wulang and the others took care of the household affairs. Usually, her attention was on the front court.
Ever since Qi Yan and Di Qing got engaged, her power has been expanding outward, and even increased by two levels, now she is a sixth-rank official.
Gu Yao knew that she was promoted so quickly because of Di Qing. Although some people looked down on her, she had to admit that Qi Yan was quite capable.
She was able to pass the imperial examination with real talent, even though some people disliked her.
But after all, she is now the Queen's daughter-in-law, and everyone has to treat her well.
The Duke of Qi's mansion was also crowded with people, and many people wanted to establish relationships with them.
When Gu Yao came back from court, she looked at the post in Lin Wulang's hand.
"A Lu, who is this post from? Does anyone want to invite you to a banquet?"
Lin Wulang sighed and handed her the invitation. Gu Yao frowned when she saw it. "Why would it be the Duke of Qi's Mansion who posted this? I'm not that familiar with them."
"I don't know what happened. This morning, a servant from the Duke of Qi's mansion handed us a letter, saying that they want to invite us to play polo. My wife, do you think we should go?"
Gu Yao thought for a moment and said, "Let's go. It's just polo, as long as we don't get involved in other things. Besides, this is Di Qing's in-laws' house after all. If we don't go, it would be a disrespect to Di Qing."
When Lin Wulang heard that he could go, he was relieved, and then he said, "Who do you think I should take? How about I take Qilang and Shushu? We can use this opportunity to help them integrate into the capital. Although Qilang has participated several times, Shushu just got married."
"That's fine. Just follow your arrangement and take Aning with you. She's getting married soon, so let her relax a bit. Ask the embroidery room to make them some nice clothes. They won't lose their dignity when they go out."
