Extra - Gu Nian Chapter: Can I give my grandfather a dowry?
After becoming the top scorer in the imperial examination, Pei Yanqing went to the Gu family to propose marriage. The men in the Gu family wanted to throw away his betrothal gifts and beat him up. He thought it was just a dream to kidnap their granddaughter/daughter/niece/sister who was in their hands.
Qin Zhizhi couldn't bear to look at these men in her family, so she asked her daughter's opinion first. Seeing Gu Nian nodded, Qin Zhizhi agreed to the marriage on behalf of her daughter.
"Zhizhi, how can you agree to this? He's just a top scholar, how can he be worthy of my precious granddaughter!"
"Yes, niece-in-law, this good Erlang from Shangjing can be chosen by Nian Nian. It will be their blessing to choose whichever one she likes. How can we be so careless?"
Gu Ting and Gu Shi were the first to disagree. How could their precious granddaughter, their only granddaughter, get married?
"Big brother is right. Since Nian Nian doesn't want to marry, we can only marry into the family!"
Gu Shi firmly opposed Gu Nian getting married.
"My dear, I don't agree with Nian Nian getting married so early!"
Gu Jinghuai had previously praised Pei Yanqing's talent and was very optimistic about him, but now he is increasingly displeased with him.
"It's just an engagement, not a wedding now!" Qin Zhizhi had already anticipated the reactions of the men in her family.
"Nian Nian is still young and has many more options. She can't just hang herself on a crooked tree."
Gu Jinghuai is still trying his best to persuade Qin Zhizhi.
"Yes, sister-in-law, Nian Nian is still young, there's no need to rush!"
"Sister-in-law, why don't we just give Nian Nian a break?"
Gu Jingshu and Gu Yunlang also joined the ranks of opposition. This was the first time they had asked their sister-in-law for help in all these years.
Qin Zhizhi was very helpless. Her daughter was willing and she was just respecting her daughter's wishes. Why did it become like she was forcing her daughter?
"Niannian, come here!" Qin Zhizhi waved her hand and called her daughter over.
"Mother!"
The little girl came to Qin Zhizhi, and Qin Zhizhi gently held her hand. She couldn't bear to part with the daughter she had raised.
"Nian Nian, tell everyone what you think!"
Gu Nian didn't hesitate and said to everyone with a smile, "I know you all love me and are doing this for my own good. Can I make the decision on this matter myself?"
Faced with her sincere eyes, none of them said anything against it.
"Grandfather's dear granddaughter, Grandfather supports you, but Grandfather has only one request: the man surnamed Pei must marry into the family."
Gu Shi held his granddaughter's hand, and the more he thought about it, the sadder he became. It had just been decided, but he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Your grandfather is right. I also agree with marrying into the family!"
Gu Ting felt that as he was getting older, he was even more reluctant to see his granddaughter get married.
The eldest princess and Mrs. Mu also looked helpless. These two people were making Nian Nian feel embarrassed.
"Niannian, don't listen to your great-grandfather and grandfather's nonsense. You can marry however you want. Great-grandmother bought the house in the Qin Mansion a long time ago and gave it to you to live in after you get married."
The eldest princess bought the house opposite the Qin Mansion a few years ago, and it is just right to give it to Gu Nian now.
"Sister-in-law is really thoughtful. This way, Nian Nian just moves to a new place and doesn't count as getting married. Just like Yun Fei, it's close and convenient."
Mrs. Mu thought her sister-in-law's idea was a good one. This way, her granddaughter and niece could come back home at any time.
"That's not quite the same!" Gu Shi muttered softly.
Mu Shi rolled his eyes at Gu Shi, thinking that he was just making trouble and jokingly talking to Gu Nian.
"Niannian, why don't you go back and ask the Pei family if the dowry is limited to living people? If there is no limit, grandma agrees to give your grandfather as a dowry."
Gu Shi was dumbfounded and asked in surprise, "Madam, do you mean you don't want me anymore?"
Mu Shi was too lazy to pay attention to him, and Gu Shi felt even more aggrieved and shouted, "Big Brother!"
Gu Ting quickly distanced himself from him, "Second brother, only one of us can marry. If you go, then my eldest brother can't go."
Gu Shi was even more dumbfounded by his elder brother's words. His beloved elder brother actually didn't stand on his side anymore, even though they were opposing it together just now.
"Niannian, your uncle's house is big. If you give your second uncle and younger brothers there as dowry, I think Master Pei won't mind. It will also save your second aunt from worrying about them every day."
Shu Mianmian smiled kindly, and Gu Jingshu and his two sons were afraid to speak for a moment.
"Ma'am, you're joking!"
Gu Jingshu gave it up immediately. He wanted a sweet and soft wife, not a dowry.
Lin Shu glanced at Gu Yunlang and said to Gu Nian, "Auntie is worried about you too, so bring your uncle and brothers along as a dowry. I will visit you often."
Gu Yunlang and his two sons were also dumbfounded. They just didn't want Nian Nian to get engaged, so why did they suddenly feel that their wife was going to abandon them?
He cried out "Madam!" in great grievance.
After Mrs. Mu said about the dowry, all the men in the Gu family became obedient. Gu Nian tried to hold back her laughter when she saw how aggrieved they looked.
Qin Zhizhi looked at Gu Jinghuai, who had been silent the whole time, and asked with a smile, "Would you like to consider taking a dowry with me, my husband?"
Gu Jinghuai was in tears. How could they be implicated by the trouble caused by his father?
"Wherever my wife is, I am my husband!"
Seeing his father admitting his weakness, Gu Nian couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Gu Jinghuai couldn't bear to blame his daughter. He glared at Gu Jingshu and Gu Yunlang, his son and nephews. They were all useless and couldn't please his wife. He even asked them to be his dowry and implicate him.
Several people were stared at in bewilderment. They were not the culprit, so why were they so wronged?
"Don't you know what kind of personality I have? I promise I won't let myself suffer any loss. Can you all trust me?"
Gu Nian understood her family's preference, worry and reluctance, but she wanted to make her own choice.
This time, no one dared to say anything against it, for fear of being asked to be a part of the dowry.
The women of the Gu family nodded in satisfaction. It was indeed quiet now, and the noise had gone away.
After Gu Nian and Pei Yanqing's marriage was settled, Gu Nian began to prepare.
The consequence of the Qin family's men's opposition was also the dowry, so the uncles kept their mouths shut.
The eldest princess gave the title deed of the house directly to Qin Zhizhi, and Qin Zhizhi had people start decorating it.
Gu Ting and Gu Shi had nothing to do, so they went to supervise the work themselves.
Among the same batch of new science students, Pei Yanqing became the object of everyone's envy.
Pei Yanqing is neither arrogant nor impatient, he works seriously and is devoted to Gu Nian. He married her out of joy, not for power. He knows that he can't explain it clearly, and having her is enough, no explanation is needed.
When some people are envious, naturally some people will be jealous. Pei Yanqing never cares. He only cares about Gu Nian.
How about living off someone?
How is it equivalent to marrying into the wife's family?
So what if I can’t straighten my back?
As long as he can be with his little girl, what others say is nothing. He only cares about happiness and joy.
If someone tells him that he can be with Gu Nian by living off her, then he is willing to live off her in this life, the next life, and the life after that.
With the little girl around, it doesn’t matter if my waist is not straight!
