"If you ask me, the daughters of our Gu family are truly exceptional. Their looks, virtues, and temperament are all top-notch in the Great Zhou." Zhang Shi spoke with a look of deep affection, as if Gu were her own daughter, then looked at Yang Shi and encouraged her, "Fourth sister-in-law, you'd better try harder! Your family is the only one in the Gu family without a daughter. You already have two sons; this pregnancy should be a girl!"
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian looked at Zhang Shi; this person had changed the most.
When they first arrived, Zhang was proud that she had given birth to the Gu family's only grandson, and then she gave birth to another grandson, and she flaunted her power and influence.
In just six short years, her daughter has become the apple of her eye!
When the sisters-in-law went out shopping, Zhang knew to buy jewelry for Sisi to save for her dowry. Although her taste wasn't great, this would never have happened to Zhang six years ago.
Madam Yang nodded solemnly: "Yes, sister-in-law, I know. I need to spend more time with Xinxin and Sisi these next few months and spend less time with those rascals. This baby will definitely be a beautiful girl like them."
Zhang patted Yang encouragingly.
The girls were all stunned.
I've seen people who love their daughters, but I've never seen anyone love them like this.
In order to have a daughter, she didn't want to see her son during her pregnancy and only wanted to be close to her beautiful nieces.
Tsk!
Who would believe that if I told them!
...
The wedding dress was ready and didn't need any alterations. Next, Cai Xiaolian began to explain the wedding process to Gu Nian and what she needed to do.
Gu Nian listened attentively. She had feelings for Xue Qianyu, and naturally wanted to marry him so she could live a good life with him. She was naturally very attentive to his wishes.
These trivial matters, it felt like no time at all, and a day had passed.
That night, Gu Xin and Gu Si ran to Gu Nian's room with their pillows. Gu Nian was still awake, looking at her two younger sisters who had grown up together.
"Sister (Second Sister), let's sleep together tonight!" Gu Si and Gu Si ran straight to the bed, arranged their pillows, and lay down without waiting for Gu Nian's reply.
"You only brought pillows but no blankets? You stole my blanket, what am I supposed to cover myself with?" Gu Nian said speechlessly, looking at their synchronized movements.
It's not like six years ago, when we thought we were still little girls. We're three grown women now, and there aren't enough blankets for us.
"Let Dongqing go get the blankets!" Gu Xin said.
Dongqing is Gu Nian's maid. When Gu Nian and Huo Yanyu returned to the capital to work at the armory, Dongqing took care of Gu Nian's daily life. She was a palace maid from the palace, and Gu Nian was used to her.
She also had three maids in her room, all given to her by the Empress. They were all from the palace and knew the proper etiquette.
Chunhong, Xialan, Qiucheng, and Dongqing are the four maids that Gu Nian plans to take to the Xue family.
There was also a head maid named Gui.
Seeing that the two women really didn't intend to leave, Gu Nian asked Dong Qing to bring over two quilts.
"Why are you two girls sleeping with me? Are you reluctant to let me go since I'm getting married?" Gu Nian asked, turning to her side after lying down.
Gu Xin slept in the middle, and Gu Si slept on the innermost side. When Gu Nian turned to her side, Gu Si also turned to face Gu Nian.
Gu Xin only needs to turn her head left or right.
“Yes! Before our eldest sister got married, the four of us sisters used to sleep together and chat.” Gu Xin and Gu Si said together.
"Oh, I see! So after Xinxin gets married, and then it's Sisi's turn to get married, who will sleep with Sisi?" Gu Nian asked.
