After they got engaged, their interactions became more shy and sweeter.

Later, the Gu family bought a large courtyard house in the prefectural city, and the old man of the Gu family resigned from his position as headmaster, finally living a life of retirement.

The Gu family decided that Gu Zheng would get married in Fucheng, so that the old man could attend the wedding.

Chuyue was very happy, because this way she could get married from her home in the prefectural city and properly bid farewell to her parents.

Gu's father was in the Northwest and couldn't come back, so Gu's mother was the first to come.

A few days before the wedding, Jiang Shaoming, the eldest son of the Jiang family, returned home, accompanied by the other brothers of the Gu family.

Chu Yue felt it was a pity that her second brother couldn't come back. He had just passed the martial arts exam and been granted an official position, so he couldn't ask for leave.

Mu Yi'an prepared a generous dowry for Chu Yue. Although it wasn't quite a grand wedding procession, it was still quite substantial.

Wearing a big red flower, Gu Zheng rode a tall horse, grinning from ear to ear the whole way.

"Xiao Qi, tone it down a bit. I know you're happy, but don't keep grinning like that."

The eldest brother of the Gu family couldn't bear to look at his younger brother.

"Yeah, like everyone's never been married before, laughing like an idiot."

Gu's second brother has always had a sharp tongue, and he has been criticized by everyone in the Gu family. Only Gu Xiaoqi can handle him.

Unfortunately, Gu Zheng is getting married today and won't stoop to his second brother's level.

Gu Erge knew that Xiao Qi wouldn't argue with him, which is why he kept talking.

Upon arriving at the Jiang family home, Jiang Shaoming and his brothers blocked the entrance, determined to make things difficult for Gu Zheng. They insisted that their Jiang family's daughter should not be married off so easily.

They all knew each other and had lived together for so many years. Gu Zheng was familiar with the Jiang brothers, and the Jiang brothers were familiar with him.

Even when things get lively, everyone knows their limits; it's all for the sake of creating a fun atmosphere.

Finally, when saying goodbye to her parents, Mu Yi'an felt very sad, and Jiang Shuyun had already secretly wiped away a tear.

When they came, Chuyue couldn't even walk yet; now, she's already married.

Chuyue was carried on her elder brother's back and put into the bridal sedan chair, arriving smoothly at the Gu family home.

Step over the fire basin, bow to heaven and earth, and may everything go smoothly.

Three days after her daughter's return to her parents' home, Mu Yi'an looked at her daughter and sensed that something was different.

Chuyue adapted quite well because her husband's family and her own family lived close by.

After seeing off the Gu family relatives, only Madam Gu remained.

Chuyue began her married life, and from now on, she would be in charge of her own household.

Grandpa Gu is easy to get along with. He arranges various things for himself every day, and with Gu Zhong by his side, they don't need to do anything extra.

As for Madam Gu, she was taken to the estate by Mu Yi'an and had so much fun that she forgot all about home.

The young couple, snuggling together, are truly a picture of blissful happiness.

In May of the following year, the two accompanied Madam Gu back to the capital, where they recognized each other as relatives and were added to the family genealogy.

Gu Zheng took Chu Yue to the Northwest to see his father.

Chuyue witnessed the vastness of the Northwest and saw a different kind of local customs and culture.

The young couple stayed in the Northwest for a few months before slowly traveling back to the prefectural city.

Along the way, Gu Zheng drew many simple sketches, showcasing different kinds of humanistic knowledge.

Chuyue also recorded her observations and experiences, writing down her thoughts and stories from a woman's perspective.

After Chu Yue and Gu Zheng got married, they always followed each other and traveled to every corner of the Dali Dynasty, writing several travelogues.

Gu Zheng even drew topographical maps of various towns and villages during the Dali Dynasty.

After looking at it, Jiang Shuyun thought it was very good and looked a lot like a modern city map.

The couple had a son and a daughter together, and their relationship was so good that they couldn't tolerate a third person.

Gu Zheng was very fortunate to have found a partner who could accompany him through mountains and valleys.

Chu Yue was also grateful that she had married a partner who could take her to see all the mountains and rivers, instead of being confined to the small house.

They felt that they were destined to be together.
