Chapter 464 A good marriage should be arranged
"Yu'er's mother, how did you catch me?"
"I know martial arts."
"Oh, you are really Yu'er's mother?"
"Of course it's true! How could I mistake my own son?"
"Then Patriarch Bai Kui——"
"He's Yu'er's godfather. He's taken care of Yu'er during these years while he was out there. He's worked hard for her."
“…”
Old Lady Su carried a small stool and sat back down next to her eldest daughter-in-law, looking dazed. While the noblewoman was teasing the baby, she whispered, "Yuelan, was that silver bracelet that Tianbao is wearing a gift from Bai Yu?"
Liu Yuelan looked equally dazed. "Tianbao said it was a gift from Yu'er for turning fifteen."
"But the princess said it was a black silk bracelet! What silk, what love thread!"
"Mom, I've never seen that kind of beautiful silver bracelet before, so how would I know what it is?"
He Daxiang and Su Xiuer, "..."
They don’t know either!
In the past, their families were poor and they had never even seen what a whole silver ingot looked like, so how could they know what black hair and love bracelets were?
They didn't even dare to step into a place like a jewelry store; they had never seen one before.
Even when life got better later, the children gave them gold and silver jewelry when they came back from going out, but they just regarded them as valuables and put them all at the bottom of the box. Who knew that they had so many profound meanings?
Su Xiuer came close to her mother and two sisters-in-law and whispered, "Mother, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, the meaning of the bracelet is not the point. What matters is Yu'er's thoughts!"
He Daxiang slapped her thigh, startling Nianniansuisui. "Right! What's important is Yu'er's feelings! But what will Tianbao say if he accepts the gift?"
The other three, “…”
Old Lady Su said, "Tianbao is still stupid. He must have been tricked by that brat Yu'er!"
He Daxiang said, "Mom, when Tianbao comes back, will you tell her about this and break up the couple?"
Old Lady Su said, "...What's with breaking up a couple? Isn't Tianbao stupid? If she likes it, she can keep wearing the bracelet. If she doesn't like it, then take it off! We can't let her be kept in the dark!"
Another head leaned over and whispered in the same low voice as theirs, "What's wrong with my Yu'er? He's so close to Tianbao, but Tianbao doesn't wake up. If it were someone else, who would have a better chance? You're breaking up a potential couple. With Tianbao's personality, do you want her to live alone forever? Good marriages should be arranged! Who knows, the baby Tianbao will give birth to in the future will be even cuter than Nianniansuisui? Don't you want to hold him? I really want to hold him!"
The four women stared at the eldest princess who came over, "..."
Year after year, "Ya-ya, ya-ya."
…
On the transport ship to Nansang, Tianbao rubbed the inexplicably itchy tip of her nose, and the black silk bracelet slipped off her fair wrist, feeling cool against her skin.
The young man in white opposite placed a black piece on the chessboard. When he looked up, he caught a glimpse of the silver light reflected from the girl's wrist, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"What are you laughing at?" Tianbao picked up the white piece and placed it on the chessboard seemingly casually, killing four of his pieces.
"Senior Sister, can't you just give me some ground? You're being so ruthless, it's getting harder and harder for me to move forward." Bai Yu deliberately muttered, but the smile on his face remained undimmed. "I've never been able to win a game of chess with you."
"If you don't let me win, we'll both win and lose."
"Well, I'm happier losing to you than winning."
Xiao Mai Sui and Bing Er each sat in a corner watching the chess game. Upon hearing this, they sneered, "Flatterer!"
Bing'er, "...Since you are my brother Bai, I will let you go!"
Bai Yu's smile suddenly became crooked, and he bowed with both hands, "Thank you, Bing'er, for not scolding me."
“…” Tianbao’s mouth corners curled up unconsciously.
Each one of them is a funny guy.
Outside, the sun was setting. Old Du and the three Su brothers entered the cabin one after another, lying or sitting on the deck in unruly postures. "Three boxes of gifts—that's too much! I suspect Nan Sang sent the invitations specifically to earn the gift money!"
"When the emperor ascended the throne, Nan Sang also sent three boxes of gifts. The Ministry of Rites has registered all these gifts."
The poisonous old man sat up straight and reached out to pinch the middle-aged man's arms and legs. "Gan family, you have such thin arms and legs. How could your grandfather let you come out with us?"
Gan Zhenyu laughed and corrected him sternly, "Old Du, this time, I am taking you there on the orders of the Emperor."
"Are all of you from scholarly families so picky with your words?"
"No, it's just that when you're an official in the court, when you're speaking or writing, a single mistake in a word can lead to a huge error, so you can't be careless."
The old man suddenly didn't want to talk and turned around silently.
Su An and Su Wu joined forces to hold Su Wen's head, forcing him to face Gan Zhenyu. "You two are so different."
Su Wen was terrified and tried his best to move his butt out.
What the hell, he never picks on words when he speaks!
A chess game by the window ended with constant regrets. Tian Bao glanced over here and said, "The wooden box we stole from the Gan family when we first went to Changjing was deliberately placed there by Grand Tutor Gan and his grandson. Master Gan has thin arms and legs, but he's a smart guy."
Gan Zhenyu froze.
Du Buqu turned around quickly, his triangular eyes narrowed and widened, then widened and narrowed again, staring at Gan Zhenyu, "Oh! Back then, you two, the grandfather and the grandson, plotted against Grandpa and Tianbao!"
"... Poison Master, the Gan family was forced by the situation to do this in order to protect themselves. It was just a try. If you hadn't sneaked into the Gan family, you wouldn't have fallen into the trap." Gan Zhenyu tried to reason.
"If I didn't sneak in? You obviously knew I would go, so you put the box there! Not only did you not put anything good in the box, but you also deliberately let your Gan family servants chase Grandpa through a dog hole!"
"When you entered the Gan Mansion, you also went through the dog hole."
The poison is not harmful and he is about to strike with his clenched fist.
An opened narrow jade box immediately appeared in front of him.
There was a whole antler in the box.
Gan Zhenyu, "I've offended you in the past. I hope you, Master Du, will forgive me and show your respect."
"No problem! It's not a big deal. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it long ago!" Holding the jade box, Du Bui smiled happily, and was very easy to coax.
The girl's clear voice came again, "After you've appeased Grandpa Du, here's me."
Gan Zhenyu turned his head and smiled at the girl, "As long as Du Lao is happy, Tian Bao will be happy too. That's what my grandfather told me."
Tianbao tilted his head and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
I have accepted this statement.
It was just a joke.
Grand Tutor Gan is a veteran of three dynasties. He has a correct style of doing things but is not pedantic and rigid. Now he leads the Gan family to support the new emperor. For this reason, she will not really make things difficult for him.
The Gan family is a minister that Wei Li can use.
"The past misunderstandings have been resolved. We will arrive in Nansang in half a month. Before that, I would like to discuss the future regulations with you. What do you think?" Gan Zhenyu was entrusted with an important task this time and did not dare to be careless at all.
Since he brought these people here, he had to take them back safely, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the emperor.
Tianbao, Bai Yu and others did not hesitate and moved to sit beside the big low table to discuss the matter.
