Gu Hui recalled the time in the Goddess Kingdom, when Peng Ze would always grit his teeth and tell her, "After we get married, I will make you experience what I'm going through now, little by little."
However, back then the two of them were wearing clothes, but now they have none at all.
Gu Hui thought of her most treasured possessions and the books Princess Jinghe had given her, her mind filled with all sorts of thoughts...
...
Inside the main room of the Gu family's house, a group of people were still gathered around a table.
It was just the three Gu brothers, the emperor, Prince Kang, and Duke Cheng'en.
Uncle Gu drank quite a bit today, but he wasn't drunk.
He's a strange person; when he's happy, he can get drunk, but when he's unhappy, he can't get drunk.
He is somewhere between happy and unhappy today.
Of those present, Uncle Gu was the youngest and had no daughter, so he couldn't yet understand Uncle Gu's sorrow.
Emperor Gu Shouxin and Prince Kang could not understand this either, because their daughters were not yet married.
Cheng'en Gong could tell that he had a daughter who had been married.
He has a son and a daughter. Xue Qianyu is not close to him, but Xue Qianyu's older sister, Xue Qianling, is very close to him.
Seeing Uncle Gu like this, Cheng En Gong was reminded of Xue Qianling's wedding a few years ago.
Cheng En Gong then began to berate his son-in-law, and Uncle Gu also began to berate Peng Ze.
Cheng En Gong said to Uncle Gu, “Brother, you don’t know, my daughter got married in the first month of the lunar calendar, and gave birth to a son in the twelfth month of the same year. She had a difficult labor! I was so worried. When I heard that the baby couldn’t come out and that Qian Ling was bleeding heavily, I wanted to slap my son-in-law to death.”
Uncle Gu exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no! Huihui will have children even after she gets married!"
Grandma Gu appeared out of nowhere: "You all love your daughter so much, wouldn't it be better to raise her for life? Why bother finding her a son-in-law?"
Uncle Gu said aggrievedly, "Mother, isn't getting married something everyone has to go through? It would seem strange if Huihui didn't go through it."
Grandma Gu smacked him on the head in annoyance: "Isn't childbirth something every woman should go through? If my father had worried about me having problems during childbirth, you bunch of good-for-nothings wouldn't exist!"
Everyone: "..."
Grandma Gu continued, "Eldest son, you've been wasting your day! Today is a good day for Hui'er to go out, so I don't want to talk to you during the day. You'd better shut up and go to sleep, or you can get out! Marrying from the east side of the city to the west side, is that something for you to sigh about?"
Uncle Gu: "...Oh."
Grandma Gu glanced at Cheng En Gong: "Where is Qian Yu's sister's husband's family from?"
Cheng'en Gong replied obediently, "Auntie, it's Jiangnan! It's quite far away!"
Grandma Gu then looked at Uncle Gu: "Qianyu's sister married into the Jiangnan region, and his father still survived! You better be more ambitious. Hui'er married from the East Gate to the West Gate. You can see her whenever you go to the Peng family. What are you so upset about?"
Uncle Gu thought about it and agreed, then looked at Cheng En Gong with sympathy.
Duke Chengen: "..."
I feel offended.
Grandma Gu glanced at Gu Shouxin again: "Niannian will be getting married next year. If you're like the eldest son, then you shouldn't attend Niannian's wedding banquet."
Gu Shouxin shook his head: "Mother, I promise I won't. Niannian only married from the inner city to the outer city."
The emperor laughed and said, "Aunt, I'm different from them. My daughter married someone from the capital, so I'm not sad at all."
Grandma Gu smirked: "Your daughter doesn't make you sad, but your son's wife doesn't make you sad either?"
