My Stepmother Is Soft and Charming

Chapter 452: Getting the News

So after Du Jingyi finished talking to the Su family, he walked over and said with a smile.

"Grandfather Ren and Grandmother Ren, you have to rest for two days this time. Third Aunt always mentions you and misses you so much."

When Third Aunt heard this, her eyes were red.

I don't know if it's because of her age, so she is easily sentimental when she mentions the people in her family, especially when she sees a lot of white hair on her parents' temples, she will also blame herself for not being able to do her filial duty to them.

Old Madam Ren has a kind face and speaks softly.

"I'm sorry to make the general's wife worry. We would like to stay a few more days, but there are still some idle things waiting to be dealt with at home, so we will leave early tomorrow morning. Coming here to see Lang'er getting engaged is also a fulfillment of this wish. I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, she patted Gu Xiaolang's hand, looked at her lovingly, with a smile on her lips and eyebrows.

"Grandma, please stay for two days. There are really many things to do at home. Let your uncle and aunt go back to deal with them first. You and grandpa stay for two days. My mother and I can accompany you to stroll around Jinling City and buy some small toys to bring back for your nephews and nieces to play with."

This time we came in a hurry, so the children did not come with us.

Although Gu Xiaolang is the youngest in the Gu family, she ranks first in the Ren family. However, because she has not married and has children, she has been surpassed by several cousins. So now she has some nephews and nieces, who are very cute.

Hearing this, the aunt of the Ren family said very considerately.

"Lang'er is right. Why don't you let your father-in-law and mother-in-law stay? As for me and my uncle, we don't have anything to deal with now. The last time we came to Jinling City was a year ago."

At first, it was for the funeral of Mrs. Gu, and now it is for Gu Xiaolang's engagement.

One sad and one happy, naturally different.

It was understandable that the aunt of the Ren family wanted to relax for two days, and the uncle of the Ren family also respected his wife's idea, so he also expressed that he could stay.

Since the son and daughter-in-law said they wanted to stay, the two elders of the Ren family would not have to leave, so they simply agreed. The happy third aunt smiled, and Gu Xiaolang was even more excited to immediately arrange the itinerary for the two days, fearing that the grandparents would not be happy here.

However, Yan Sanlang next to him had a faint smile. He had only seen such a family relationship without any grudges and exploitation in front of the Gu family and the Ren family. Otherwise, there would not be such a comfortable relationship in the Earl's Mansion where he was born.

Thinking of this, it was inevitable that he felt a little disappointed.

But this kind of disappointment was difficult for others to detect. Gu Xiaolang was still talking to the grandparents, so he didn't see it, but Xing Zhao saw it, walked to Yan Sanlang and whispered.

"The engagement date is early, so it's understandable that you can't send the news. The date of the wedding must be told to the Earl's Mansion. Not to mention your mother, your fourth brother is worried about you."

Yan Sanlang nodded, his face became more serious.

It's okay to tell the Earl's Mansion, but I'm afraid they will make trouble. After all, I'm marrying Gu Xiaolang in the name of marrying into the family. If they know, I'm afraid this marriage may not be successful.

What he thinks in his heart is all on his face.

Du Jingyi and Gu Shaoyu are not stupid. They understand everything when they see it, so after the engagement banquet, they called Yan Sanlang and Gu Xiaolang to the study to talk about it separately.

"Brother, do you mean not to marry or marry into the family?"

"Well, I saw this custom when I went to Quzhou before. To put it simply, the child has both surnames, and each gets half. In this way, if Sanlang is appointed, it is reasonable for you to take the third aunt with you, and he can also explain to the Earl's Mansion."

After all, the Earl's Mansion will not agree to his son marrying into the family. There is also the favor of the Crown Princess, which cannot be ignored.

Yan Sanlang was very grateful, but he always felt a little sorry for the deceased Madam Gu, so he expressed it immediately.

"The first child of me and Lang'er should still be named Gu. No matter what, it is Lang'er who I asked to marry, so it should be so."

Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi and his wife smiled and looked at Gu Xiaolang and said.

"You two can discuss this matter, and we will all listen."

Gu Xiaolang looked back at Yan Sanlang, and seeing his eyes full of determination, he no longer had any thoughts and agreed to this method, so he happily settled the matter.

Then the news that the two were going to get married in early February was also rushed to Sui'an City.

Sui'an City, Weiyuan Earl's Mansion.

The Crown Princess knew the news earlier and rushed to deliver it. When the Countess heard that her son finally had news, she was so happy that she burst into tears. She was happy for his safety and success.

"The Crown Prince is now praising the third brother's ability in the East Palace every day, and his daughter has also benefited a lot. The Crown Prince has been staying in my room recently, and those who are eager to make a move have become much more obedient."

When the Crown Princess said this, she was proud of her brother's achievements.

After all, the daughters of these noble families, to put it simply, rely on the ability of their family members in their husband's family and the respectability of their family members in their family members. Therefore, the Crown Princess, who has risen on both sides, has naturally been very proud recently.

Yan Silang heard that his third brother had such ability, and happily shouted that he wanted to follow him, but the Countess scolded him.

"One ran away, and you think I'm not worried enough, so you want to run another one? Look at your third brother, he has been gone for so many days, do you want to hurt my heart as a mother like this?"

"Mother, a good man has ambitions, and my third brother and I can earn more credit, which is also beneficial to the family and the prince. Why stop me?"

Yan Silang thought simply, but the countess refused to let another one go no matter what.

Yan Sanlang was able to make it because he was a capable and thoughtful person since he was a child, but Silang is just a follower, and the countess is not stupid. Isn't it a death sentence to send him away?

So she brought up the matter of life and death.

"You and the young lady of the He family have almost fallen in love, and it's time to get married. Don't go out and mess around. Get married first and then start a career. It's the truth since ancient times!"

Hearing this, Yan Silang had nothing to say. After all, he also liked the young lady of the He family, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with his mother's words.

The Crown Princess seemed a little unhappy when she heard this.

"What's wrong?"

"My third brother not only sent this news, but also another thing."

"What is it?"

"In early February next year, he will marry the young lady from the Gu family."
