Chapter 636 The Sun is Shining
"Is it Madam Gu and Miss Gu?"
"How dare they come here?"
"How can you have the nerve to come to such a party?"
"The Su family definitely wouldn't give them an invitation, they must have come on their own."
"Really? Doesn't her coming here affect other people's reputation?"
"If Gu Shuning shows up later, don't pay any attention to her."
Many people are dissatisfied, and some are very rude when speaking.
However, the reception staff were told that the people from the Gu family were the protagonists and the real guests.
The receptionist hurried forward.
Then Mrs. Gu got off the carriage first.
Mrs. Gu was dressed elegantly and looked very elegant.
After Gu Shuning got off the car, many people were stunned with their eyes widened.
The clothes that Gu Shuning wore were actually a little shiny in the sun.
And the style of the skirt was something they had never seen before.
The hem of the skirt has irregular curls and is a bit shiny.
Her hair accessories are simple and beautiful.
The key is that the skirt looks good, which sets off Gu Shuning's already outstanding appearance and temperament even better.
Gu Shuning has a scholarly air about her. She looked pleasing to the eye before, but people didn’t think she was particularly outstanding.
But this dress perfectly brings out her advantages.
Slender and graceful, outstanding.
When Dong Wenren saw Gu Shuning appear, his heart tightened and he even held his breath.
His face was still a little red.
This dress of Gu Shuning was designed by Su Ruoqing herself and made by the embroiderers below.
Everyone was really shocked when Gu Shuning put it on at home.
The Gu family was also amazed, and everyone exclaimed that Su Ruoqing was talented in designing clothes.
It’s not that the Gu family has to come at this time.
It was the time given by the Su family, so they came at that time.
Su Ruoqing just wanted Gu Shuning to appear in the spotlight.
Even if Dong Wenren married Gu Shuning, she wanted people to think that Dong Wenren had good taste and that Gu Shuning was really good.
She knew how sad Gu Shuning felt when he was slandered by rumors.
The Su family's support for Gu Shuning should help avoid some problems.
Many people have to admit that Gu Shuning was very beautiful at this time.
"Is she good at dressing?"
"I've never seen her like this before."
"I don't know where this suit was made."
"Could it be custom-made at the Su Family Embroidery Workshop?"
"They don't take orders easily. I heard that the two young ladies from the Su family used to design them. Now one is in the Huo family, and the other went to Jiangzhou."
Everyone was confused, but their eyes followed Gu Shuning involuntarily.
After Gu Shuning entered the village, he saw Dong Wenren not far away.
The two people accidentally met each other's eyes in the air, and Gu Shuning felt his heart beat faster.
Dong Wenren blushed and didn't dare to look anymore.
Naturally, many people didn't notice what happened at this moment.
But only two people understood.
This time, Mrs. Gu also observed Dong Wenren carefully. She saw that he was polite and chatted with the young men around him. He looked bright and cheerful.
Old Madam Su and Su Ruoqing were also observing Gu Shuning.
Madam Su nodded secretly, looked at Yan Ning and said, "I think this girl is talented."
Yan Ning smiled and said, "You have a good eye. I asked someone to find out. This person from the Gu family has been studying since childhood. His parents paid great attention to his upbringing. He is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is also good at managing household affairs. He has read a lot and is very sensible..."
Yan Ning told Madam Su about the secret guards' investigation.
Mrs. Su was satisfied.
Old Madam Su also had a special talk with Madam Gu.
Including Princess Yan Ning, Mrs. Gu was really flattered when she saw Princess Yan Ning.
Princess Yan Ning naturally just didn't show up in the private room on the second floor of the milk tea shop, but it was enough to make Madam Gu excited.
Old Lady Su also met Gu Shuning in person and took out an elaborate hairpin.
Madam Su said, "My sister-in-law misses Fumihito the most. Fumihito is a kind-hearted child..."
Old Madam Su talked about Dong Wenren and also expressed her attitude, which was to choose a wife for Dong Wenren.
She held the hairpin and said, "You are a good girl. Would you like to wear this hairpin?"
Gu Shuning understood that this was a question about her thoughts.
Gu Shuning nodded.
Old Madam Su was satisfied and put it on her.
Mrs. Gu knew in her heart that the matter was settled.
Mrs. Gu's eyes were red.
A few days after this banquet, Dong Wenren's mother, Su Wanhua, came to the capital.
As the prefect, Dong Zhiye was not allowed to leave Liuzhou at will.
The Su family was represented by Old Madam Su, Su Wanhua, and Su Xiuye, who personally brought matchmakers to propose marriage to show their importance.
After the Gu family agreed, they went through the six rituals.
Both are very fast.
When other families in the capital learned about this, they reacted belatedly.
"It turns out that the Su family's banquet was held for Dong Wenren."
"So Dong Wenren has his eye on Miss Gu. No wonder, no wonder."
"I've already found out. The dress Miss Gu wore that day was designed by Madam Huo herself and embroidered by her best embroiderer. It's simply not available for purchase."
It was useless for many young ladies from other families to envy Gu Shuning, as they couldn't even buy a dress like that.
Because everyone understands that Mrs. Huo does not design clothes for anyone casually.
If they are embroiderers, they can put pressure on them to design and produce the products.
But Mrs. Huo's status and position were such that no one dared to use power to put pressure on her.
However, some people in the capital did imitate clothes of that style later, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not make clothes like Gu Shuning's.
"Really? Gu Shuning's reputation is ruined, so why are there still people who don't care about it? Doesn't Dong Wenren know this?"
Some young ladies who were jealous of Gu Shuning raised questions.
The elders in their family reprimanded them strictly.
"Stupid, don't say such things."
"If Gu Shuning hadn't jumped into the water to save people, Dong Wenren might not have known about her. I don't know who came up with such a stupid idea to let Gu Shuning catch the Su family's attention."
"The Su family doesn't care about these false reputations. Instead, they think Gu Shuning is good."
"Also, why was the banquet hosted by Old Madam Su so grand that day? Why did Madam Huo personally design the dress and have it made for Gu Shuning? She was doing it to give Gu Shuning a good reputation. Don't gossip about it anymore when you go out."
"Also, the Emperor asked about some things in the court today. He said that those pedantic and harsh ideas about women will only harm people. He said that in the future, women should be encouraged to go out and learn more."
"It's clearly a good deed of saving people, but how come rumors have changed it into something else?"
"What? The Emperor actually said such a thing?"
"So don't be stupid and talk nonsense next time."
Many people were taught a lesson by their elders in this way.
As a result, the atmosphere in the capital changed.
Girls are now bolder in going out to attend parties.
People are no longer timid and afraid to speak. They start to be confident and willing to show their talents.
Of course, the Gu family was the happiest after Dong Wenren and Gu Shuning got engaged.
Lord Gu always had a smile on his face when he went to court.
The more he looked at Dong Wenren, the more satisfied he became.
Many colleagues felt a little jealous when they saw Lord Gu like this.
When the emperor was in court, he couldn't help laughing when he saw the changes in everyone.
But now Xue Yi has transported some cement from Jiangzhou, and he plans to use cement to build roads in some remote areas of the capital.
Some border city walls were also repaired with cement.
Who would have thought that my cousin would discover something like cement.
He is simply the lucky star of his Great Yan Dynasty.
As an emperor, he can win without any effort.
Of course, we still have to work hard.
His goal is to be a wise ruler who will go down in history.

Su family
After Dong Wenren and Gu Shuning got engaged.
When two people interact, there is no need to be so secretive about it.
Dong Wenren can go to Gu's house to see Gu Shuning.
He would bring Gu Shuning anything fun or delicious he saw.
He is very attentive to Gu Shuning.
Perhaps influenced by the Su family, he understood that when giving gifts to girls, it is not the value of the gift that matters, but the thought behind it.
For example, if he personally chooses and buys something, even if it is cheap, it is more meaningful than asking others to buy expensive things.
As time went by, Gu Shuning and Dong Wenren became more and more familiar with each other, and their hearts grew closer and closer.
That day, Gu Shuning finally couldn't help but ask Dong Wenren, "I had such a bad reputation before, and everyone talked about me behind my back. Why did you choose me?"
Dong Wenren said embarrassedly: "I think you are very good. When you rescued someone, I was not far away. I was about to rush over when I saw you rescued the person."
"So many people were watching and no one was trying to save you, yet you jumped without hesitation."
"I was stunned and thought you were very brave and wonderful."
"That was the first time I knew you."
"Don't worry, I don't care about those false reputations. I will treat you well, just like my father treats my mother."
After saying this, Dong Wenren's face turned red.
Gu Shuning was deeply moved when she saw him like this.
Of course she didn't like him because she was touched.
But I think he is really good.
Such a person is more worthy of her attention.
"Thank you, I will treat you well."
Dong Wenren immediately smiled happily, "Well, after we get married, I will support you in whatever you want to do. I won't restrict your freedom."
"You can also visit your parents more often."
"Tell me what you like, and I'll get it for you."
Dong Wenren spoke with great sincerity.
Gu Shuning looked at it, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
The sunshine is so nice, she thought.
Her bravery and kindness that time won her such a good person.
…
The other side
Su Ruoyun followed Gu Lenghan to the Gulin Royal Court in the early spring.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, they disguised themselves as a caravan and went to the Gulin Royal Court.
Su Ruoyun brought tea, fine cloth, brown sugar and other things from the Great Yan Dynasty.
A grocery store opened on a street in Wangjing, the capital of Gulin Royal Court, selling these things.
These things brought back from the Great Yan Dynasty were very popular among the nobles.
Especially those exquisite fabrics, they would be amazed after seeing them.
These cloths could be exchanged for expensive spices.
