The next day, the family sat together and discussed their wedding. Mr. Gu asked,
"Where are you planning to have your wedding?"
Yun Muye replied, "My home is in Beijing. We'll go back there to do it."
Gu Zhinian asked, "Wouldn't it be too much trouble to go back to Beijing? Why not do it in the army and treat your comrades to a meal? I've seen many people do that."
Old Master Gu disagreed, his brow furrowed. "What will happen in the army? Just treating your comrades to a simple meal is considered a wedding? You are the granddaughter of my Gu family, how can your wedding be so simple?"
Mother Gu also advised:
"Your grandfather is right. A girl only has one wedding in her life. If I don't hold it grandly, I'll feel like I'm treating you unfairly. I absolutely don't agree with you having such a simple wedding."
Old Madam Gu said, "From ancient times to the present, women's weddings have always involved three matchmakers and six betrothals, eight bearers in a large sedan chair, phoenix coronet and bridal robe, and a long and beautiful wedding dress. Times have changed. Young people always think that getting a marriage certificate is enough. However, without a proper wedding, they will regret it for the rest of their lives."
Yun Muye: "I understand. I won't let her have any regrets. I will do my best to give her a perfect wedding."
Father Gu also said:
"If it's a matter of money, don't worry. Our Gu family will pay for it. My daughter's wedding can be as lavish as possible!"
Yun Muye hurriedly stopped him, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, I'm the one getting married and holding a wedding. I can afford it, and I won't let Zhinian down. Mom is right, a woman only has one wedding in her life, so I can't let her down."
Mr. Gu patted his shoulder.
"Muye, we in the Gu family are not unreasonable people. It's just that when it comes to my granddaughter, we all take it very seriously. The betrothal gifts will depend on your ability, but Niannian's dowry has long been prepared. We have a house in Beijing, and when the time comes, Niannian will marry from there. The furniture is all ready, and you can just move in directly."
"Okay." Yun Muye sat up straight. "Grandpa, all the property under my name will be given to Zhinian as a betrothal gift. It's my fault that Zhinian and I didn't have a wedding. I wronged her. I already asked someone to calculate the wedding date. It will be on the sixth of next month."
Yun Muye held Gu Zhinian's hand tightly, took out a platinum ring from his pocket and put it on her finger.
"Actually, I've been preparing for this. I've already decided on this ring. I was thinking of showing it to you on the wedding day as a surprise, but today, I'm showing it to you in front of our family. Zhinian, thank you for marrying me and for giving birth to little Tangyuan. I'm truly grateful to have you and little Tangyuan in my life."
Gu Zhinian's nose felt sore and her eyes were moist. This man usually didn't talk much and seldom said cheesy love words to her. He always cared for her silently, cooked for her, washed her clothes, and picked her up from get off work. His love was melted into every detail of her life. His shadow was everywhere in her life, and she really couldn't live without him.
"Muye!" Gu Zhinian hugged him, "I am very happy and content to be married to you in this life."
Yun Muye hugged her lovingly, "Zhi Nian, I am happy only when you are here."
Little Tangyuan also rushed over, "Mom and Dad, I want a hug too!"
Yun Muye picked him up, and little Tangyuan hooked one hand on his father and the other on his mother, "Mom and Dad, I love you!"
Gu Zhinian kissed his little face, "Mom loves you too."
The Gu family looked at the family of three with satisfaction, and Mother Gu waved her hand.
"Niannian, come here, Mommy has a surprise for you too."
"What surprise?" Gu Zhinian walked over, and her mother took her hand and led her upstairs.
"Come with me."
When Gu's mother opened the door, what came into view was a bright red cheongsam with a stand-up collar. The cheongsam was embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns and peony flowers, and the buttons were inlaid with snow-white pearls. There was a row of pearls from the neckline to the hem, and it was paired with a large white lace triangular shawl, which was inlaid with small pearls around the shawl, sparkling.
Gu Zhinian put his hand on it, and it felt smooth and soft. Mother Gu introduced:
"This is something Mom made for you personally. Ever since your brother called me and told me you were getting married, I've been thinking about what to get you. After much deliberation, I decided I wanted to make a dress for you myself. From choosing the material to designing it to the finished product, I was busy for several days. Before you left, there were only a few buttons left to sew on your cheongsam. I just finished sewing them yesterday. They're made of South Sea pearls, and the material is also top-quality red brocade. Try it on and see if it fits you."
Mother Gu unbuttoned her cheongsam, put it in her hand, turned around and walked out. Gu Zhinian touched the cheongsam made by her mother and rubbed it against her face. This was her mother's love. Every stitch and thread contained her full blessings and love.
Gu Zhinian took off her clothes, carefully changed into her red cheongsam, and buttoned it up. The cheongsam fit her well and her figure was graceful. She took the white shawl and draped it over her body, pulling out her flowing long hair. Gu Zhinian looked at herself in the mirror wearing a red cheongsam. She looked bright and flamboyant. The hem of her skirt was an inch above her knees, just right. The hanging white lace matched the red color, which was rich and holy.
Gu Zhinian tidied her hair, opened the door and walked out. She stood at the stairs and walked down step by step. Yun Muye looked at her, amazed and obsessed. Every step she took stepped on his heart, causing ripples.
Little Tangyuan rushed over and hugged her legs, looking up with stars in his eyes, "Mom is so beautiful. When I grow up, I want to marry you and be with you every day."
Yun Muye pulled him away and said, "Your mother is my daughter-in-law, you can't marry her. You are her son, and you can be with her every day."
