Chapter 170 Everyone gathers and starts eating melons

When Lu Xinran got up in the morning to pay his respects, he subconsciously flipped through Pei's booklet.

After seeing her thoughts, I almost spit out the snack crumbs in my mouth.

Grandma can't make random comments!

Cui Shenglin's family is trying so hard to please her and Lu Xinlan, which is obviously a roundabout way to save the country.

He didn't dare to go directly to the Duke's Mansion, and didn't want his little thoughts to be discovered by Zhang Shuier, so he could only try to get their help in this way.

Pei listened to her mumblings, never expecting the hidden truth behind them to be like this.

"What is the character of this young man from the Cui family? I heard that he does not do his job and wanders around the streets all day long. Is this true?"

"Yes! He is very proud of being a well-known playboy."

Lu Xinran answered quickly, fearing that if he spoke too late, Pei's inappropriate thoughts would deepen.

Her anxious look made Pei want to laugh.

Not to mention whether the character of this Cui family kid can be considered a good match, even if he is good in every way, it depends on whether his horoscopes are compatible with those of his granddaughter and whether they are destined to be together.

She is not senile yet, how could she consider him as a candidate for her grandson-in-law just because of such a small matter?

[However, Cui Shenglin is indeed a good person. Although he seems to be idle and is the negative example of the younger generation educated by various prefectures, he is clear-headed and open-minded, and is favored at home. If he can really be matched with Zhang Er, it would be a good match.]

[I just don't know what happened to her cousin. How is his current situation after he came back to the family? Has he brought the two families closer together?]

Hearing her talk about Qiu Zixian, the An family, and the Gu family, Pei knew that her two little granddaughters did not want to mention the younger generation of the Cui family anymore, so she started talking about it with a smile.

"What a coincidence! I just heard some news yesterday."

As soon as she spoke, several people in the room immediately looked at her.

Especially Lu Xinran, after she found out that the big melons she heard about could not only calculate life points, but also calculate more than what the system read, she became more enthusiastic about eating melons.

She blinked her big eyes, and her expectant look made Pei almost unable to hold back her laughter.

"Do you still remember the young man from the Qiu family who was adopted by the Gu family?"

Lu Xinran and several others nodded immediately. It had only been less than a month since this happened, how could they not remember it!

Pei was laughing when she suddenly sighed, "Qiu Zixian, no, now I call him Gu Zixian. That child got engaged these days."

"Engaged?"

Lu Xinran was shocked, she looked at Lu Xinlan blankly.

Before, when they were at the Duke's Mansion, they all saw Qiu Zixian's eyes full of affection when he looked at Zhang Shui'er.

But... they haven't heard that Zhang Er is engaged!

"The Gu family finally arranged for him to marry An's niece. It is said that the wedding date is set soon and will take place before the New Year."

"So urgent?"

Lu Xinran was flipping through the useless system. She just wanted to eat melons and get all the information about that man!

The system that she despised hummed and did not respond at all.

"The old lady of the Gu family is not in good health. Maybe she wants to see her newly adopted grandson get married before she dies."

She said it tactfully, but everyone in the room could hear the hidden meaning behind her words.

The Gu family is planning to use Qiu Zixian's marriage to congratulate the old lady.

Lu Xinran was at a loss. She clearly remembered what she had seen before, which was that everyone in the Gu family must feel sorry for him and wanted to open their hearts to let him know that they were really looking forward to his return.

How come this person is getting married in just one month, and is he using the marriage as a way to celebrate his birthday?

She was still a little confused, but Lu Xinlan suddenly asked, "Grandma, have you found out which girl the Gu family introduced to him?"

Her words made several people look at Pei curiously again, and Pei smiled and said something in approval.

"She is An's niece."

It’s actually her?

Lu Xinran was shocked, and his desire to eat melons was unprecedentedly strong.

She is actually a girl from the An family, and the wedding date is set so hastily. Maybe your girl has some hidden story.

"Grandma, should we go to the Gu family to pay them a visit? Or should we find someone who knows the situation and ask them about it?"

It's so uncomfortable to be stuck like this.

Pei rolled her eyes at her with amusement. Does this girl really not know that everyone is jealous of her abilities?

"No rush, the wedding is in half a month, and we will go to the wedding eventually."

"Yes, let's go to Gu's house and take a look!"

When everyone is present, you must eat the whole melon!

It took only half a month from the engagement to the wedding, and everyone in the capital who received the news was curious about the hidden story.

Even Zhang Shuier sent them a letter, and her words in the letter were very excited, and it was obvious that she was also waiting for the big news to appear.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, before dawn, the Gu and An families were already bustling with activity.

Mrs. An looked at her niece in the mirror, who was dressed extremely luxuriously, and smiled until tears filled her eyes.

"Finally seeing you and Zixian get married, auntie can finally put her worries to rest."

An Qingyu looked at the red eyes in the mirror, put her hands on her lower abdomen and smiled gently.

"Don't worry, aunt. I will definitely take good care of my cousin, give birth to children for him, and stay with him forever."

They will definitely be the envied couple in this capital.

An nodded twice, and couldn't help but look forward to such a scene.

"I feel relieved knowing you are by Zixian's side."

Even if her son returns to the Gu family, he is still the child she raised, and she has the final say in his marriage.

An Qingyu also lowered her head, pursed her lips and chuckled, her palm casually touching her lower abdomen again.

After today, my cousin will only be with her for the rest of his life.

She didn't care which girl the Gu family had liked before, or who her cousin had in his heart, because from now on, that person could only be her.

"Madam, the wedding procession is here. The aunt is riding a tall horse, so majestic."

The old woman's words made the whole yard busy.

Gu Zi looked at his friend who came forward to knock on the door with envy, the smile on the corner of his lips not reaching his eyes.

"Make-up poem, send me a makeup poem quickly, Zixian, today is your wedding day, you have to write a makeup poem too."

"yes."

When his friend turned around, a smug expression appeared on his face.

He dismounted, fished out a makeup-inducing poem he had written long ago from his bosom, and had someone deliver it.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the makeup-inducing poem was sent in, the gate of the courtyard was opened.

He cupped his hands and smiled faintly at his future brothers-in-law. The An brothers all smiled in denial and did not even dare to ask for any extra red envelopes.

At the Gu family's side, Lu Xinran had already followed Pei to the front yard, and the whole family was hiding quietly in the corner.

After Zhang Shui'er and Qiu arrived, they found them through the servants of the Gu family.

Because of her daughter, Qiu became very close to Pei.

At this time, the two families gathered together, chatting and laughing, while waiting for the wedding procession to return, and then they started eating melons when everyone was together.

"I heard that the An family had invited a royal doctor to the mansion, and a few days after the doctor left, Gu Zixun and An Qingyu got engaged."

Zhang Shuier excitedly shared the intelligence she had obtained.

Her face was filled with excitement, which made Lu Xinran unable to help but cough lightly and asked secretly.

"In the end, he still chose the cousin from the An family. Don't you feel regretful?"

Zhang Shuier looked at her strangely: "Why should I feel regretful?"

Although Gu Zixian was her cousin in the past, she was not really familiar with him because of An's cautious vigilance.

She didn't know how Lu Xinran could tell that Gu Zixian liked him to some extent.

That melon-eating system...is definitely not reliable in this regard!
