Chapter 4: Remarrying the Future Powerful Official
With the help of the Qin family, the wedding procession from the Gu family quickly arrived at the Qin family.
Because of the tight time, there was no time to prepare a new wedding dress for Gu Jinghuai, so Gu's mother found the wedding dress that Gu's father wore when they got married and put it on her son.
The wedding dress looked surprisingly good and fit Gu Jinghuai well. Gu's mother was stunned for a moment, and tears flashed in her eyes.
Aunt Li thought that Gu was thinking of Gu Jinghuai's father, so she quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Jinghuai's mother, this wedding dress really suits Jinghuai. Our Zhizhi has good taste."
After being interrupted by Li, Gu's mother's mood also improved. She was very happy that her son could marry Zhizhi.
After everything was packed up at the Gu family, a group of people went to the Qin family to pick up the bride.
The Qin family also hurried to prepare when they heard the joyful sounds. Although the marriage was close, Mrs. Qin and Zhang were still reluctant to let go of the child they had spoiled since childhood.
Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai bid farewell to the Qin family. Qin Qingyuan personally carried his sister out and handed her to Gu Jinghuai.
He and Gu Jinghuai are good friends, classmates, and people who admire each other. From today on, they have an additional layer of kinship.
"Jinghuai, from now on Zhizhi will be handed over to you." Qin Qingyuan put his sister's hand into Gu Jinghuai's hand with reluctance in his eyes.
"Don't worry, big brother. I will take good care of Zhizhi!" Gu Jinghuai held the little girl's hand, full of joy.
Qin Zhizhi felt warm inside when her hand was suddenly held. She hadn't read much of the book, and she only knew that Gu Jinghuai was a future powerful official.
The reason why she wants to marry him today is not only to piss off Lin Heng, but also to get in touch with the future powerful official in advance.
The most important reason was that when she saw him in the crowd for the first time, she fell in love with his face, and he completely captured her heart.
When reading the book, the author mentioned that Qin Zhizhi was the girl Gu Jinghuai loved but missed when he was young.
That's why she dared to bet today that Gu Jinghuai would marry her, betting on the young man's inner preference.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhizhi felt as sweet as honey in her heart. She was looking forward to getting married first and then falling in love.
She gently scratched Gu Jinghuai's palm with her slender fingers. With the subtle interaction, a blush quietly crept up to Gu Jinghuai's ears.
Fortunately, the voice of the matchmaker interrupted the subtle moment.
"Groom, please stop standing there. It's time to take the bride back."
After the bridesmaid finished her shouting, the gate of the Qin family courtyard suddenly became lively, and the children shouted happily to welcome the bride.
Gu Jinghuai also hurriedly took Qin Zhizhi back home under the command of Xi Po.
Qin Zhizhi's uncle, third uncle, village head and clan leader all went to see the bride off, and the village head of the Gu family also had people arrange everything.
Qin Zhizhi's grandfather and the village head's father are brothers.
Something like this happened to the Qin family today. If he doesn't sort things out properly, his father will beat him to death when he gets home.
So when the wedding party returned to the Gu family, the originally deserted Gu family became very lively, and many women came to help without being asked.
The village head personally presided over the wedding. After completing the wedding process, Qin Zhizhi was sent to the bridal chamber that had just been cleaned an hour ago.
Not long after, Gu Jinghuai came in and took off the veil. Farmers don’t have so many rules.
The veil was taken off, and Qin Zhizhi was dumbfounded when she saw Gu Jinghuai in front of her. He was too handsome!
The red wedding dress made Gu Jinghuai's skin look whiter, and his broad shoulders and slim waist made him look calm and composed.
There is a gentle and elegant temperament between his eyebrows, which is eye-catching.
At this moment, Qin Zhizhi seemed to hear the screams of a groundhog and was filled with joy. Perhaps this was the best gift God had given her for traveling through the book.
Seeing Qin Zhizhi staring at him and her expression constantly changing, Gu Jinghuai became a little nervous.
"Zhizhi, why are you looking at me like that? What's wrong with Jinghuai?"
Gu Jinghuai's words brought Qin Zhizhi back from her daydreaming state. She felt a little embarrassed for her previous behavior.
"This wedding dress suits you very well!"
Qin Zhizhi spoke directly from her heart, and when she came to her senses, her face turned red.
Gu Jinghuai didn't expect Qin Zhizhi to praise him. He was even shyer than Qin Zhizhi and quickly found an excuse to go out.
"There are still villagers outside to entertain. You should rest for a while. I'm going to go out first. I'll ask Jingyao to bring you some food later."
Gu Jinghuai fled in panic, but he still remembered that Qin Zhizhi had not eaten, so after he left, he asked his sister Gu Jingyao to come in and bring her food.
Gu Jingyao is seven years old this year. After a while, she came in with food.
"Sister-in-law, my brother asked me to bring you some food." The little girl put the bowl on the table and looked at Qin Zhizhi a few times. She couldn't hide the happiness in her eyes.
"Thank you, Yao'er!" Qin Zhizhi felt a little hungry after seeing the food.
"Yao'er wants to thank sister-in-law for marrying brother!" Gu Jingyao was very happy when she thought that Qin Zhizhi would be her sister-in-law in the future.
Qin Zhizhi usually has a good relationship with Gu's mother, Gu Jingyao. Hearing the little girl say this, Qin Zhizhi was also happy.
"Then Yao'er, can you accompany your sister-in-law to have something to eat?" Qin Zhizhi felt that it was boring to eat alone, so she invited Gu Jingyao to join.
"Okay, Yaoer likes to have dinner with sister-in-law." The little girl happily accompanied Qin Zhizhi to eat.
In the bridal chamber, the aunt and sister-in-law were eating very happily.
During the period, Gu Jingyao went out to deliver the dishes and chopsticks once, and spent the rest of the time in the bridal chamber with Qin Zhizhi.
Only after everyone had left and Gu Jinghuai came in did Gu Jingyao reluctantly leave. She was afraid that when she opened her eyes tomorrow, her sister-in-law would be gone.
After a busy day, Gu Jinghuai didn't seem tired at all. Instead, he was inexplicably excited. Qin Zhizhi looked at him curiously.
"Zhizhi, are you full?" Gu Jinghuai was worried that Qin Zhizhi would be shy because she didn't eat enough.
"Yao'er brought a lot of food." After Qin Zhizhi finished speaking, the two fell into a brief silence again.
Finally, it was Gu Jinghuai who broke the silence, "Zhizhi, we haven't drunk the wedding wine yet!"
"Ah!" Qin Zhizhi didn't react for a moment, so her expression was a little surprised, which looked very cute in Gu Jinghuai's eyes.
"Today's wedding is simple. I'm sorry, Zhizhi, but the wedding wine cannot be omitted. Zhizhi, wait for me."
Gu Jinghuai walked to the table and poured two glasses of wedding wine. He poured less for Qin Zhizhi because he was afraid that Qin Zhizhi could not handle the wine.
Looking at Gu Jinghuai's earnest gaze, Qin Zhizhi took the wine from his hand, and the couple drank the wedding wine.
Qin Zhizhi had never drunk alcohol before, and as soon as the wedding wine entered her throat, she started coughing. Gu Jinghuai patted her back with concern.
The atmosphere in the new house was a little ambiguous for a while.
After Qin Zhizhi felt better, she looked at the gentle Gu Jinghuai and said to him again and again with hesitation.
"My husband, I have something to tell you."
Gu Jinghuai was stunned when he heard this, and roughly guessed what Qin Zhizhi was going to say to him next, and a look of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
