Chapter 35 The wedding date is moved forward, is Ayuan willing?
The meal was eaten slowly. Gu Huailing watched Chen Yuan finish the last spring roll before asking, "Do you want to eat more?"
Chen Yuan shook her head. She wanted to leave but Gu Huailing took her to the study.
"Can you grind it?" The sound of cold jade hitting the chimes was heard.
Chen Yuan nodded and walked over. Gu Huailing picked up a pen and wrote a few words on a piece of paper and pushed it in front of Chen Yuan.
The fifth day of March.
"What is this?" Chen Yuan looked at Gu Huailing in confusion.
Could it be what she thought?
Gu Huailing loosened his fingertips and looked at Chen Yuan, tapping the table with his knuckles. "The fifth day of March is a good month and a good time. It's the day of the Golden Box, a good time for marriage."
Shen Yuan's hand suddenly stopped, and she moved her lips as if she was about to speak.
Gu Huailing asked first, "Do you agree?"
Chen Yuan's heart was beating fast, and the air in his chest was a little swollen. Finally, he asked, "Why so early?"
Gu Huailing did not answer her directly, but asked instead: "Ayuan is unwilling?"
It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but Chen Yuan feels it’s too early.
She was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded under Gu Huailing's dark gaze.
We have to get married sooner or later, so what if it’s earlier or later? It’s a pity that my family is not around.
The atmosphere in the study was strangely dull. Shen Yuan tried to find an excuse to leave: "Yao'er and I made an appointment yesterday to go buy some headgear. Are you coming?"
In fact, it was not an excuse. She was going to go with Gu Yao to buy clothes, hairpins and jewelry for the Spring Banquet, but she said it in advance.
Asking means you don’t want to go.
After getting the answer he wanted, Gu Huailing naturally didn't care about these trivial matters. He asked Sanjiu to bring over a stack of banknotes.
Chen Yuan looked at the silver notes that could buy a shop, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "My lord, I have silver."
The last four words became quieter and quieter under Gu Huailing's gaze.
Gu Huailing pressed his eyebrows together, pulled the person in front of him, and said slowly: "Ayuan, when you and I get married in the future, don't talk about money, my salary and private property, everything will be handed over to you, don't be so distant with me."
Shen Yuan looked into Gu Huailing's eyes and nodded obediently.
"What! My brother actually moved up the wedding date so much!" Gu Yao said in shock in the carriage.
Shen Yuan nodded weakly.
Gu Yao slapped her head in frustration, "What should I do? The wedding gifts I prepared for you and Big Brother are not ready yet!"
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Why send gifts?"
Gu Yao looked at Chen Yuan's soft white cheeks, her eyes suddenly lit up with a hint of vulgarity.
She laughed dryly twice and prepared to jump off the carriage, "Sister-in-law, let's go buy clothes for the Spring Festival Banquet another day. I remembered that I have something urgent to do, so I'm leaving now!"
Chen Yuan looked at Gu Yao who was suddenly excited and felt inexplicably confused. Fortunately, she had always been abnormal.
Gu Yao, who was about to get off the carriage, turned back to get the silver note that Chen Yuan had just given her, glanced at her several times, and jumped down.
Since Gu Yao didn't go, Chen Yuan lost interest in strolling around and went back to Qingshi Lane.
"What! The fifth day of March, that doesn't mean there aren't many days left!" Taozi was even more surprised than Chen Yuan, but it was an excited surprise.
After getting Chen Yuan's approval.
Taozi rolled up her sleeves and laughed a few times in a very noble and cool manner, "Don't worry, young lady. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. After I hand over your dowry, it will definitely be the only one of its kind in the capital!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the warehouse.
So she's the only one who feels awkward?
Chen Yuan had a very quiet life these past few days, and before she knew it, it was the Spring Banquet hosted by Xingyun Academy.
In her previous life, Chen Yuan seldom attended such banquets. Gu Jingchu always disliked her because of her low status and was not worthy of them. In fact, Chen Yuan did not like such banquets either. If it were not for Gu Yao, she would not have come.
Xingyun Academy is elegant everywhere, with the fragrance of flowers and wine mixed in the distance.
The Jin Dynasty had no restrictions on women, so from time to time one could see a few noble ladies chatting with a few elegant men.
Gu Yao held Shen Yuan's arm, glancing at her chest from time to time. Suddenly, she thought of something and slapped her forehead. "Sister-in-law, please wait for me. My eldest brother forgot the gift I prepared for the dean in the carriage."
Gu Yao ran away after she finished speaking. Chen Yuan had just found a pavilion to sit down when she saw a woman in white clothes walking towards them from a distance. She had a veil covering her face and her jewelry was jingling. She was surrounded by several people and was walking towards them.
Nan Shuqing was obviously dressed up carefully. Although her face was covered with gauze, her eyebrows and eyes were painted quite delicately.
She saw Shen Yuan and said with a smile: "Miss Shen is here, it was so hard for me to find her."
Nan Shuqing smiled gently, and the noble ladies around her looked at Chen Yuan with less kindness.
One of the noble ladies in green stepped forward and looked at Chen Yuan, "Are you the merchant's daughter who made Sister An Yue cry?"
"Not only does she look like a fox, but she's also got a sharp tongue. Sister Qing, this is a spring banquet, why are you letting in all sorts of people?"
The lady in green was talking excitedly, but Chen Yuan was looking into the distance with a dull look.
"I'm talking about you, didn't you hear me?"
Shen Yuan then withdrew her gaze. She looked at the lady in green, who pointed at her and said, "The lady was talking to me just now, but I only heard the dog barking, nothing else."
The woman in green was so angry that she fell backwards. She looked at Chen Yuan in disbelief, "You actually called me a dog!"
Shen Yuan still spoke in a calm tone, "Did I scold you?"
“You! You!”
A noble lady in pink stepped forward and said, "No wonder Sister Anyue was punished and Sister Qing was given the cold shoulder by the Prime Minister. She is quite eloquent."
"Do you know the status of those who came to the Spring Banquet today? A merchant girl like you is not even worthy of carrying our shoes. If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now."
Nan Shuqing looked at Chen Yuan with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Both sisters are straightforward people, I believe Miss Shen will not take it to heart."
Chen Yuan hated this kind of green tea bitch the most. She looked at Nan Shuqing and said, "Do we know each other well? It's up to you whether I care or not?"
He clearly looked like someone who was difficult to talk to.
The pink-dressed woman stood in front of Nan Shuqing and glared at Chen Yuan angrily: "How dare you speak to Sister Qing like that? Do you know that Sister Qing is the person that the Prime Minister holds in his heart? If you offend Sister Qing, the Prime Minister will definitely not let you go!"
"That's right, just wait for bad luck. The Prime Minister will definitely kick you out to vent Sister Qing's anger!"
The woman in green also stepped forward and said, "I don't know which merchant girl is so lucky to be engaged to the Prime Minister. If it weren't for the engagement, the Prime Minister would definitely marry Sister Qing!"
After saying that, she rolled her eyes at Chen Yuan again, "Are you merchants' daughters so good at seducing people?"
Nan Shuqing just let them insult Chen Yuan with a smile on his face, not saying a word.
There was a commotion ahead, and the pink-dressed woman immediately pushed Nan Shuqing forward. "Sister Qing, look! The Prime Minister is here."
"Yes, Sister Qing, you see the Prime Minister is coming towards us, he must have seen you."
Nan Shuqing's face was filled with shyness, "Don't talk nonsense about the Prime Minister."
"What's there to be ashamed of? The Prime Minister is coming towards us, if not for Sister Qing, then for this lowly merchant girl?"
