Xue Qianyu wholeheartedly agreed: "I've never seen him when he was the son of a county magistrate, but he would never be defeated by you. This kid managed to have tens of thousands of Yunhai's troops imprisoned in a city, and then massacre the entire city to avenge his sister!"
Meng Meng sighed, "What a pity for Xiaoyu! Such a gentle girl."
The men remained silent for a moment.
After a while, Peng Ze picked up the wine jar and said, "Come on, let's drink! Let's toast General Meng to his happy marriage and wish him a son soon!"
The group lifted the wine jar.
Meng Meng chuckled and said, "Don't worry, General Ze, I will work hard to surpass you and Sister Hui, and I will definitely have a son soon!"
Peng Ze: "..."
I really want to smash a jar of wine over your head, you idiot!
Lu Zheng and the others laughed along.
That night, the men drank until midnight, and the women chatted until midnight as well.
The next day, Princess Kang brought the wedding dress over with her steward and servants so that He San Niang could try it on again and see if there was anything that didn't fit so that it could be altered as soon as possible.
The girls hadn't seen anyone wear a wedding dress since Gu Hui's last wedding, and they were all incredibly curious, urging He San Niang to put one on quickly.
"Sister, we need to hurry back. You need to try on your wedding dress too!" Gu Xin said, mentioning Gu Nian while He San Niang was trying on her clothes.
"Little girl, you don't need to worry about your sister. Your mother designed an outfit for her herself a long time ago, and it's been made from head to toe. Unless Nian Nian gains weight during your trip, it will fit perfectly!" Princess Kang said with a smile.
"Auntie, have you seen it? Isn't it beautiful?" Gu Xin asked, pulling on Princess Kang's arm. "You've been in the capital for decades, have you ever seen a wedding dress more beautiful than my sister's?"
"Of course! My wedding dress is prettier than your sister's!" Princess Kang said with a smile.
"Hey? Mother, didn't you always say that my father didn't give you a decent wedding, and that the ugliest thing was your wedding dress? Yours is prettier than Niannian's. I wonder how ugly the wedding dress that Second Aunt prepared for Niannian must be!" Princess Jinghe teased from the side.
Princess Kang glared at her: "I was just teasing Xinxin."
The girls all laughed and were about to continue talking about Gu Nian when He San Niang came out.
Stepping out from behind the screen, He San Niang's expression was visibly tense.
Looking at Princess Kang and her sisters, she asked with great uncertainty, "Godmother, sisters, is this outfit alright?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then Princess Kang stood up, went to He San Niang's side, and tidied her up: "Very good! My daughter, how could you not be good? San Niang, you just don't dress very well usually. Dressed up nicely now, oh my, I think that brat Meng Meng is not good enough for you!"
He San Niang was secretly delighted: "Really?"
The women gathered around: "Really?"
"Sister He, your tassels are beautiful."
"Your skirt is beautiful, and the collar makes your neck look so long and gorgeous!"
"I love your phoenix crown! Wow, it makes your face look so small!"
"I bet when the veil is lifted, Brother Meng will definitely not recognize her. He'll think she's someone else's wife who has wandered into the wrong house."
"Hahaha, that's possible. Our Third Sister used to be fierce, and Meng Meng scolded her several times. Dressed up like this, she looks so gentle. That brat Meng Meng definitely won't recognize her."
