Chapter 409 Wedding Discussion
Gu Siqing had a holiday after her final exams, but because she was taking the college entrance exam the following year, her teacher had given her a lot of homework. She also made a plan for herself to do at least three exams a day.
It’s really not easy to be a senior in high school.
As soon as she got her holiday, Su Wenshan's mother An Ruijin invited her and Han Zhengping to her home to play. Gu Siqing asked Han Zhengping's opinion and agreed. In fact, the person the Su family really wanted to invite was Han Zhengping.
Just after breakfast that day, the Su family's car arrived. Gu Siqing got in, and the driver drove to the Han family to pick up Han Zhengping. The car stopped at the Su family's gate. Gu Siqing got out of the car and was greeted by the Su family's main gate. A large black plaque with gold characters hung on the gatehouse, with the words "Su Mansion" written on it.
Looking to the left and right, the long wall seems to have no end in sight. You can imagine how big the house is.
"Come in, both of you." Su Wenshan appeared at the door and waved at them. Gu Siqing smiled and called out to him, "Hello, Uncle Su."
Su Wenshan laughed, "Xiao Si, I heard that your TV series made a lot of money?"
"I dare not say this in front of you. It would be rude of me to show off my skills in front of an expert." Gu Siqing said with a smile.
Su Wenshan laughed and said, "When I was your age, I didn't make a penny."
At this point, he looked at Han Zhengping and added, "Zhengping is also very good. His paper won a big award."
After hearing what he said, Gu Siqing turned around and asked Han Zhengping, "Why didn't you say anything?"
"I'm embarrassed to say it," Han Zhengping said. Although they talked about everything, he felt a little embarrassed to mention his award-winning paper, as if it were a child showing off.
"What prize?" Gu Siqing asked curiously.
", an international academic paper award." Han Zhengping said it lightly, but Gu Siqing felt that this award must be extraordinary, otherwise Su Wenshan would not have mentioned it.
"Is it a particularly impressive prize?" Gu Siqing asked again.
"This award is..." Han Zhengping patiently explained the significance of the award to her in a low voice. Although Gu Siqing didn't quite understand, she listened very carefully.
After he finished, she moved closer to him and whispered, "Tell me about this kind of thing in the future. I won't laugh at you."
Han Zhengping smiled, "Okay."
Gu Siqing began to look at the surrounding scenery while walking. How should I put it? It was worthy of being a wealthy family. The trees, the courtyard, the screen wall, the rockery, etc., each one revealed exquisiteness, and when combined together, it was so simple and elegant.
After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at the front hall. They were all there, Su Mingchang, An Ruijin, and Kong Xiuwan. Seeing them, An Ruijin quickly asked them to sit down, even taking Gu Siqing's hand and sitting next to her, saying, "Has Xiaosi lost weight? Senior year students have it tough."
Gu Siqing was helpless, "You feel sorry for me, so when you see me you say I'm thin, but I'm not thin at all."
An Ruijin laughed, "School is pretty hard anyway. What do you want for lunch? I'll arrange for someone to make it."
"I have a good appetite and can eat anything." Gu Siqing said with a smile.
An Ruijin looked at Han Zhengping again, "I won't ask you what you like to eat. I'm sure you'll say anything is fine, just like Xiao Si. Let's make some home-cooked dishes today."
After she finished speaking, the housekeeper went out to make arrangements. Su Mingchang smiled and asked about Han Zhengping's situation abroad. He only had one grandson, so he naturally knew everything about his life abroad. But hearing him tell it himself was different from hearing it relayed by others.
After talking for a while, An Ruijin said that she would take Gu Siqing to see the courtyard where Su Wenshan and Kong Xiuwan would live in the future. Since they were getting married, the courtyard would definitely need to be renovated. The three of them went to see the courtyard while the other three men continued talking.
This house is a large one with five courtyards. There aren't many members of the Su family, so Su Wenshan and Kong Xiuwan have their own courtyard. When they reached the courtyard gate, An Ruijin pointed to the hanging flower gate next to it and said, "Go through here and you'll see the courtyard prepared for Zhengping. I'll show you there later."
Gu Siqing said yes, and then went in with An Ruijin and Kong Xiuwan. The courtyard prepared for the wedding was different, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere. Gu Siqing looked at Kong Xiuwan and saw that she was smiling all the time, and she was obviously very happy about getting married.
After walking around the courtyard, they sat down in the main hall. An Ruijin looked at Kong Xiuwan and said, "I heard from Wenshan that you don't want a big wedding?"
Kong Xiuwan nodded and said, "We're already so old, it wouldn't be a good idea to hold a ceremony too grandly."
The Su family held a certain status in Kyoto. If she and Su Wenshan had a grand wedding, it would definitely be discussed. She didn't want to be the subject of discussion. But Su Wenshan wanted a grand wedding. He wanted to show everyone how much the Su family valued Kong Xiuwan.
So now there is a contradiction.
An Ruijin said, "It's okay if it's not a big event, but we have to invite everyone we need. You'll be the mistress of this family from now on, so everyone who needs to know must be informed. We also have to consider Zhengping."
Su Wenshan and the others wanted to announce Han Zhengping's identity as the eldest grandson of the Su family on the wedding day. Therefore, even if the wedding was grand, it had to be big.
Kong Xiuwan thought for a moment and said, "We need to discuss this with Zhengping about announcing his identity on the wedding day."
"Of course. We'll also invite the Han couple over when the time comes. We'll thank them publicly for raising Zhengping." An Ruijin said immediately.
Seeing that the Su family had thought carefully about every aspect, Kong Xiuwan had no objection.
Here, Su Mingchang and Su Wenshan were also talking to Han Zhengping about the wedding. Su Wenshan said, "Your mother doesn't want a big wedding, but I think we have to."
Han Zhengping didn't comment on this. It was already strange enough that he was going to attend his parents' wedding, so he couldn't possibly decide the details. So he said, "Just discuss the wedding with my mom."
Su Wenshan's main purpose was not to tell him about the wedding. He said, "I want to announce your identity at the wedding. Do you think it's appropriate?"
After hearing this, Han Zhengping was silent for a moment and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with my parents."
"That's as it should be," Su Mingchang said. "We also want to thank them publicly on the wedding day."
Han Zhengping nodded. Since he had decided to recognize the Su family, he would not be pretentious.
After the three of them had settled the matter, they went to the back to find Gu Siqing and the others. Su Wenshan also told Han Zhengping that he had prepared a yard for him, and said, "You can go and take a look with Xiao Si later. Just tell me if you want to add anything to it."
Han Zhengping did not refuse. They were all family from now on, and it would be bad to be too formal.
As they were talking, they entered Su Wenshan's courtyard and exchanged a few words. Then, they all went to the courtyard prepared for Han Zhengping. This courtyard was about the same size as Su Wenshan's, but the scenery inside was more exquisite. It had a bedroom, a study, and a reception room.
It can be seen that the Su family has put a lot of effort into the decoration of this courtyard. Whether a person is valued or not can be seen from the details.
