Before getting married, Gu Tingye gave Minglan a jade ring that he had polished himself.
Then, while putting the ring on Minglan's finger, Gu Tingye expressed his intention to marry her: "I have admired you for a long time. I am willing to marry you, entrust you with the household chores, raise children, and spend the rest of my life with you."
It was rare for Gu Tingye to speak to Minglan seriously with a serious face. Minglan put on the ring foolishly and stammered, "Okay, I, I accept."
Minglan looked dazed. Gu Tingye pinched her cheeks amusedly. He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Minglan's, saying, "I will never let you down."
A few days later, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family married the prince of Ningyuan Marquisate.
Outside, there were continuous sounds of firecrackers and music. In the Sheng family ancestral hall, Minglan, dressed in her wedding dress, respectfully informed the ancestors of today's happy event.
"Ancestors of the whole family, please listen: Today I am getting married, and I dare not act on my own. I will burn incense all year round. I have informed the gods, and I hope they will have mercy on me. Marriage is a natural thing. There is an auspicious sign and a bed, and both husband and wife are happy. There will be no disasters and no troubles, and we will live forever for a hundred years. Like fish in water, sweeter than honey."
After the formalities at the Sheng family's house, Sheng Changlin carried Minglan to the bridal sedan chair. Before getting on the sedan chair, Changlin whispered to Minglan, "Sister, if Gu Erlang treats you badly, your brother will support you."
Minglan chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll rely on you from now on."
Sheng Changlin nodded heavily, clenched his fists and looked at the groom Gu Tingye standing beside him. Gu Tingye was so happy that his teeth were showing and his eyes were not visible, and his usual cold expression was completely gone.
Sheng Shu supported Hai and comforted her, "We're so close, we'll be able to see each other soon."
Hai wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Xu Wen, who was standing next to her, said with red eyes, "Ming girl has found a good family. Don't worry."
After comforting Hai, Xu Wen stretched her neck. Even after Minglan's bridal sedan had disappeared, Xu Wen still stood there watching.
Fang's mother supported Xu Wen and stayed with her all the time. After a while, Xu Wen turned to Fang's mother and said, "Come back with me to pick out the return gift."
Back at the main courtyard, Xu Wen burst into tears. Such a small, soft, little girl had grown up and married in the blink of an eye. The thought of not being able to see Minglan every day in the future filled Xu Wen with a pang of pain.
Mother Fang cried with Xu Wen for a while, and when Xu Wen was drinking the honey water, she suggested, "Princess Yunran's daughter, Princess Chaohua, will be here tomorrow. You'll have a lot to do then."
Thinking of Princess Chaohua's mischief, Xu Wen's sadness faded a lot, and the sadness on her face also faded a little. Fu Feng said, "Quick, put away all the fragile things in the house, don't let that little devil break them."
After saying this, he shook his head, looking amused.
Minglan hadn't been sitting in the room for long when Gu Tingye came in. He reeked of alcohol, and Minglan frowned and backed away.
Gu Tingye chuckled, walked over and took Minglan's hand and said, "I didn't drink much, the wine on me was spilled on purpose."
Holding Minglan's tender little hand, Gu Tingye leaned towards Minglan and said, "Madam, let's get settled as soon as possible!"
Before Minglan could blush and be at a loss, she pushed Gu Tingye away, stood up with her hands on her hips and ordered, "Go wash up!"
Gu Tingye was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the angry Minglan by the waist and whispered in her ear, "Let's take a shower together."
After being punched a few times, Gu Tingye bit Minglan's little face and carried her into the inner room.
The night is still very long. The pair who grew up together as childhood sweethearts finally understood the love between men and women after tonight.
