Volume 1 Chapter 239 The Bai Family Comes to Propose Marriage
It is undeniable that the girl himself has a crush on him. Moreover, when she was a child, she... said bluntly that she wanted to be his wife when she grew up.
Prime Minister Bai smiled as he thought about it, but in the end he was still defeated by this girl!
Gu Tingying was a little confused by his question. Does this mean he is waiting for her to confirm the relationship?
“Very…satisfied.”
Gu Tingying nodded with a red face, and the two looked at each other with tacit understanding.
By the time Gu Tingying and Bai Xiangguo had understood what was going on and appeared in front of the elders, their expressions were very obvious.
When Aunt Zhao saw Gu Tingying’s blushing face, she immediately understood that the matter was settled!
Gu Tingying walked to Aunt Gu and nodded, and Aunt Gu smiled when she saw it.
This girl is rarely shy, unlike before when she kicked people in such a rude manner.
"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, I will come to your house with my parents to propose marriage someday."
Prime Minister Bai is a man of action, so he put his words directly and openly.
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu laughed when they heard this. This man has a straightforward temper and doesn't hide anything.
The two old people are also straightforward people. They like straightforward and simple younger generations.
"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, we will come to propose marriage in five days."
What was there for Bai's mother to not understand after hearing? Her second son was in love with Gu Tingying from the Gu family.
This is a great thing!
"Future father-in-law, future mother-in-law, please take good care of me in the future."
Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu were also satisfied with this marriage and nodded with a smile.
The marriage between Gu Tingying and Bai Xiangguo was thus settled, with the engagement coming first and then the marriage.
"Okay, okay, we'll be a family from now on and take care of each other."
Second Aunt Gu took Mother Bai's hand and started chatting with her. They were all people in the circle who knew each other well, so there was nothing to worry about.
The Bai family went back, and before leaving, Prime Minister Bai glanced at Gu Tingying.
Gu Tingying kept her face red and her head down, very shy.
After the Bai family left, Gu Tingying immediately went into her room to digest her thoughts.
"This girl is still shy."
Aunt Gu didn't know whether to be happy or worried when she saw her daughter like this.
My daughter will be getting married soon. When she becomes someone else's daughter-in-law, her life will be different.
Even if you know everything about the Bai family and what kind of family they are, how can a parent not worry?
Second Aunt Gu sighed and decided to prepare the girl's dowry well.
Gu Tingying's marriage is nothing but double happiness. This year, the Gu family has been blessed with many good things.
Old Master Gu was grinning from ear to ear; the only single person in the family had found a good family.
It won't be long before his great-grandson is born, and Grandpa Gu has never been so happy.
Sheng Wanyan fell asleep after going upstairs. I don’t know how it ended.
I learned about this from the conversation among my family members that evening, and I was happy for Gu Tingying.
Gu Tingying is a very cheerful and loyal girl. I just hope her life will get better and better in the future.
She didn't know the Bai family, but a family that could satisfy all the elders in the family would definitely not be bad.
There were some lively things going on at home, and soon the topic became a topic of discussion among the women in the family.
Second Aunt Gu was thinking about what dowry to prepare for Gu Tingying, and she also pulled Mother Gu over to discuss it.
Mother Gu had experience with what was prepared when Second Sister Gu got married.
"Girls still have to have money on them."
Mother Gu had also prepared a watch for Second Sister Gu, and the rest were banknotes.
Some of them were given secretly without telling the Lin family.
Aunt Gu also thought it made sense. It was fine as long as things looked okay on the surface; the most important thing was that her daughter had the confidence.
Wait for the Bai family to come and propose marriage in a few days to see their sincerity, and then give them a dowry of similar size.
Second Aunt Gu was calculating in her mind how much to give, and it certainly couldn't be more than the Bai family gave. After all, that was the man's family, and she needed to give face to the Bai family.
Sheng Wanyan really just watched a fun event, she had seen blind dates, and as for marriage, she had already experienced it herself.
But I haven’t participated in other people’s events yet, and I don’t know if I’ll have time to go back to Kyoto to join in the fun.
Gu Tingying's marriage can be said to have been finalized, and she is just waiting for the two families to settle down.
Mr. Bai was so happy when he knew that his second grandson's blind date went well today.
Mr. Bai and Mr. Gu are old comrades-in-arms. It is such a joyful thing that they are becoming relatives now.
A few days later, the Bai family came to propose marriage, and now everyone in the compound knew that the two families were going to get engaged.
If I had known earlier, I would have arranged a blind date for my son and Gu Tingying. I am now one step too late.
This was preempted by Prime Minister Bai, who was not in Kyoto for most of the year.
What is going on?
Don’t even mention how jealous and regretful other people are. They just waited a while, and now nothing good is happening.
The Bai family put a lot of thought into proposing marriage, and it is worth it just based on the Gu family's status.
Although Bai Xiangguo is the second child in the family, he is a capable person and the Bai family did not ignore him just because he is the second child.
The Bai family not only brought gifts, but also arranged the betrothal gifts clearly, including 36 legs, three turns and one ring.
"Future in-laws, we will give you 888 yuan as a dowry, 36 legs, a radio, a sewing machine, a watch, and a bicycle."
The Bai family is not short of money. All their sons marry wives of this standard and no one is partial.
Aunt Gu was naturally satisfied when she heard this. The Bai family's youngest son was still in high school, so it was natural that the family would not split up so soon.
However, the Bai family is a kind-hearted family. Even if they don't split up the family, they will not abuse their daughter-in-law. When Gu Tingying gets married, she will definitely go with the army.
So Second Aunt Gu is not worried that her daughter will have a hard time after getting married. After all, the Gu family is not so easy to bully.
"My in-laws are thoughtful."
"We're offering a dowry of 666 yuan and a watch for good luck."
"Let the young couple take all the money you gave as a betrothal gift. As for the things, we will leave a radio as a symbol for the two old people to entertain themselves."
In fact, the Gu family did have a radio, so Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu naturally had no shortage of people to use it, but it just happened to break down two days ago.
So we just gave it to the two old people, and they don’t have to spend any more money.
The Bai family naturally had no objection. The Gu family's approach was many times more kind than that of other families.
For example, if other families don't give the things given to their daughters when they get married back to the young couple, it would be considered good enough if they don't put the money into their own pockets.
Don’t be fooled by the nobleness of this circle, it doesn’t mean they don’t favor boys over girls!
Normally, giving back half of the betrothal gift is considered a very generous thing to do.
Moreover, my mother-in-law did a favor and gave the radio to the two elderly people.
The two old people in the Gu family will think about the kindness of Bai Xiangguo and his wife. Even if they are their granddaughter, they will remember their filial piety.
