Gu Nian looked at Xue Qianyu and said, "If I marry you, you have to agree to three conditions."
Xue Qianyu nodded, signaling her to speak.
Gu Nian said, "First, you are not allowed to take a concubine. No matter what the circumstances, in name and in reality, you, Xue Qianyu, can only have me."
Xue Qianyu: "Okay!"
Gu Nian added, "Second, you are not allowed to make me do things I don't want to do, nor are you allowed to stop me from doing things I want to do!"
Xue Qianyu: "Okay!"
Gu Nian continued, "Third, no matter what I do, right or wrong, you will always stand by my side and never stand against me."
Xue Qianyu: "Okay!"
Gu Nian smiled: "Okay, I promise you!"
After saying that, she stood up, walked to Xue Qianyu's side, bowed to Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, and then bowed to Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian: "Grandpa, Grandma, Father, Mother, I am willing to marry Xue Qianyu."
Grandpa Gu clapped his hands with a smile: "Good, good, good. Yu'er is a good child. Grandma Niannian and I have agreed."
Grandma Gu nodded and gave Xue Qianyu a rare smile.
Cai Xiaolian nudged Gu Shouxin, who sighed and looked at Xue Qianyu: "There's only one requirement for you to be my son-in-law, and you should understand."
Xue Qianyu nodded: "Yes, Second Uncle!"
Madam Xue clapped her hands: "Oh dear, Lord Gu, Madam Gu, we're in-laws now, you didn't know..."
Madam Xue was genuinely happy. Even before she knew that Xue Qianyu had feelings for Gu Nian, she had already taken a liking to Gu Nian.
At the time, she liked the Gu sisters, and among them, Gu Nian was the best match for Xue Qianyu in terms of age. So she liked Gu Nian even more and thought that she might be her future daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, she really was.
When Madam Xue compared Gu Nian to the daughters she had previously considered for herself, she had to admit that her son's judgment was indeed better than hers!
With both families present, Prince Kang and Princess Kang acting as matchmakers, and the two children also there, they began discussing the marriage.
The Xue family's intention was that everything should be arranged according to the bride's wishes; whether the wedding was held in Kuncheng or in the capital, it was the same.
The Duke of Cheng'en even said that Kuncheng was better than the capital. When the two children got married, wouldn't all those people come to Kuncheng for the wedding feast? After coming over and seeing it, hey, this place is not bad!
What he said makes sense; every household in the capital has people who can spare a month to travel back and forth between Kuncheng and the capital.
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian's idea was to get engaged first, and then postpone the wedding until next year, after Gu Nian turned eighteen. The Xue family had no objections.
Gu Shouxin wanted Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian, a modern mother and daughter, to experience the process of getting married in ancient times, so he planned to go through all the steps.
The Xue family naturally had no objections. The Duke of Cheng'en was used to being a playboy, and everything had been arranged in the capital. Staying in Kunzhou for a year or two was no problem at all.
Uncle Gu interjected, saying that Huihui was the eldest child in their family, so she had to get married first.
This is natural. Gu Hui and Peng Ze are already engaged and are gradually going through various steps. The bride and groom don't need to prepare anything; they can get married as soon as they return.
The discussion was so lively that King Kang and his wife were extremely envious.
Speaking of which, their daughter is not young anymore, and now she has run off to the Goddess Kingdom. They wonder when she will meet someone she likes so that they can hold a wedding for her.
The gifts we've given out over the years should be brought back somehow!
Gu Nian listened quietly to Xue Qianyu, glancing at him every now and then; the feeling was quite peculiar.
