Chapter 453: Taking Care of Both Sides

"The young lady of the Gu family? Is she Mrs. Gu's granddaughter, Gu Xiaolang?"

The countess never expected that she would be the one to marry her after all the detours, and the wedding date was already set, so she sent the news. She really didn't know what to say.

"Hmph, let me tell you, it's useless to have a young lady from the Gu family. Look at the way their family used to shun them like snakes and scorpions. I wonder, they thought there was something wrong with us, San Lang. Now we're not rushing. If you want to get married, you have been an old girl in your twenties since last year. With the reputation and ability of the third brother, why can't you find a girl with good talent and good looks, so you have to choose her? "

The Crown Princess looked down on Gu Xiaolang because of what happened back then.

That's why I said these sour words here, but fortunately the countess was sober and patted her hand and said.

"Don't say that. You and I both liked this young lady from the Gu family at first, but she had no fate with Sanlang at that time. Since she is also a person who is going to marry into our house now, we should treat her as one. Don't forget her behind the scenes. But Gu Shaoyu.”

It didn't take the countess to tell the princess to understand the importance of Gu Shaoyu to the East Palace, so even though she had some grudges against Gu Xiaolang, she still smiled at him after she got married.

So he restrained his cold attitude just now, and then said.

"My daughter is just complaining to her mother. Is it possible that she really knows how to give her little shoes to wear? My daughter is not an ignorant person. With the achievements of the Gu family today, as long as she is my third younger sister, then My daughter’s position in the East Palace, and even in the harem in the future, will be more stable. I won’t shoot myself in the foot, so don’t worry, mother.”

The Crown Princess was taught by the Countess herself. She has taken good care of the backyard of the East Palace over the years and has not caused any trouble, so the Countess also believes that her words are sincere.

So he didn't ask any more questions, but instead started thinking about Yan Sanlang's getting married.

"We're getting married in early February. We're just afraid that we'll be in a hurry to prepare. Fortunately, everything has been prepared, so we're not afraid. When the time comes, we'll tidy up the yard where Sanlang lives. We'll add what needs to be added and change what needs to be changed. It’s not too much trouble. By the way, did they say when they would be back?”

Before the countess could finish her words, she saw the count walked in with an angry look on his face and said in a strange way.

"Stop working. Your son is here to be a son-in-law. Humph, you are still here cleaning the yard? I don't think it's necessary. Let's make him a wedding dress and send it over. This dishonorable thing dares to come to the door. Getting married will bring shame to our Earl's Mansion! "

"What, coming to the house? Marriage-in-law? Where did father hear the news?"

"What was sent from Jinling City, are there any inaccuracies?"

The Crown Princess frowned. She didn't have this expression when she heard the Prince mention this matter. Could it be that the Prince also lied to her?

"Father, don't worry. The prince has never told his daughter about this. Maybe there is a misunderstanding. General Gu is not such a person who does not understand the rules. He will force people from our family to come to the door, so it is better to understand clearly first. This is to avoid being taken advantage of and sow discord.”

After listening to the princess's words, the earl finally woke up from his rage.

Although he was very dissatisfied with what Yan Sanlang did, after all, he had brought glory to the family now, so he didn't have to worry about what happened before. But if he insisted on making a fuss about marrying into the Gu family, then he didn't want this son. , it is useless to keep something that is embarrassing.

Yan Silang looked at his father's changing expression and felt a little scared. It was best that this didn't happen, otherwise he would probably lose his third brother.

The two places are far apart, so the news is transmitted slowly. Before the inquiry from Earl's Mansion reaches Yan Sanlang's ears, New Year's Eve has arrived.

This is the third New Year's Eve that Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi have spent in Jinling City.

Compared to last year, the situation this year is better.

The Gu family had been cleaned up and down and hung up in red, so the atmosphere was naturally more lively.

In the flower hall, everyone was having dinner.

The food was cooked by Danruo himself as always, so everyone could find no fault with it and everyone ate it with gusto.

Now the head of the family is Gu Shaoyu, so he naturally sits in the center, while the eldest aunt and Du Jingyi sit on both sides. The others sit down one after another. In addition to the children, there is also an additional Yan Sanlang this year.

He had no relatives in Jinling City, so he either spent time at the Xing family or at the naval camp. This year, he and Gu Xiaolang were engaged, so he could come to the Gu family to spend time.

It's just that because the two of them are going to get married later in the year, they don't have tablemates and eat separately, but it doesn't affect the friendship in their eyes.

The third aunt is now relieved of her worries and is happy about everything.

The fourth aunt, who was always a lively person on weekdays, seemed a little quiet today. It must be because the sisters-in-law had hope, so now they are not as withered as before, but slowly seem to be being fed.

But she was the one who did it.

She looked most heartless, but in reality, she was truly alone here.

Du Jingyi could tell, so he wanted to find an opportunity to ask. If she was willing, she could go north to Sui'an City with them. Anyway, there were many children in the family, and Brother Tai was quite close to her, so it would be better to go together. So that we can take care of each other.

Adults have many worries, but children smile innocently.

Although Mrs. Gu was gone, the new children in the family were enough to make the atmosphere lively. The youngest Zhong Ge'er could already sit by himself. The wet nurse carefully fed him the vegetable and meat soup, and he ate it mouthful by mouthful.

As for the other children, they all sat properly.

Tai Ge'er could eat by himself, and his fingers were much more flexible than before, so his clothes were not likely to get dirty. At this moment, he ate more attentively than anyone else.

The triplets were also fed by wet nurses like Zhong Ge'er. The most ferocious one was naturally the noisy Wen Ge'er, but he was somewhat quieter when Gu Shaoyu was around.

Compared with her brothers and sisters, Jin'er, the only daughter in the family, sat obediently in the arms of her aunt. It was obvious that she had a different temper from those brats.

Her aunt's mother fed her by herself, and she ate cleanly and quietly mouthful by mouthful, which made Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaoyun, who only gave birth to sons, envious, and then they spoke.

"My daughter is so thoughtful. Just look at how radiant her elder sister is now and you will know how easy it is to take care of Jin'er."
