Today is January 1st, which is a very important New Year's Day in China.
Start the new year by marrying her.
…………
The scene outside was particularly spectacular.
In addition to those who witnessed the love between Gu Yibei and Ji Zhinan, many aristocratic families were also invited to the engagement party.
The status of the Gu family in Country Y is well known to everyone. Logically, Gu Yibei's engagement banquet should be a grand affair, and it would not be an exaggeration to let the people of the whole country enjoy the buffet for free for a whole day.
Being held on a small island, it was a bit of a small event.
But it doesn’t matter. No matter how big or fancy the engagement party is, it can’t compare to the love and affection between the couple. As long as the two children are happy for a long time, that’s enough.
However, for the sake of Ji Zhinan's status and to let those aristocratic families know how important Ji Zhinan is to the Gu family, none of the nobles who should be invited were left out, including the three noble ladies who had previously ridiculed Ji Zhinan.
Mrs. Wagner sat in the middle back, looking at the crowd of heads in front of her. Her well-maintained hands clenched into fists, almost breaking her expensive manicure.
Because of their status, these noble ladies sat separately from their husbands. Their husbands were received by Gu Jue and sat on the other side, while they were received by Maureen on this side.
Sitting next to her was Mrs. Wagner's daughter, Miss Diana. Just as Gu Yibei had complained, her face was covered with freckles that couldn't be covered up even with foundation.
Diana sat there, her body moving until her long skirt covered her stamping feet.
She looked very unhappy and had a strong spoiled temper.
"Mother, I like Gu Yibei. Why would he rather marry a commoner than be with me?"
Seeing the engagement scene decorated so exquisitely, Diana was extremely jealous, especially when she heard that it was Gu Yibei who decorated it himself, the jealousy in her stomach was immediately overturned.
She held Mrs. Wagner's arm and was so angry that she could hardly sit still.
"Mother, what on earth are the Gu family thinking?! Since ancient times, marrying to consolidate the status of two families has been what we nobles should do. Why would the Gu family marry a commoner with no background and no power? How will this help their family? They are so confused!"
"Kid, keep your voice down. Are you afraid that the Gu family can't hear you?!" Mrs. Wagner growled.
Miss Diana, who had always been spoiled, rarely got scolded by her mother and felt very aggrieved.
Mrs. Wagner looked ahead with a gloomy face. She was in a bad mood and had no time to comfort her daughter.
Looking at the people in front of her who were laughing and talking, Mrs. Wagner's face turned as black as coal.
Among the nobility, the most important thing is rules.
Today is the Gu family's engagement banquet. According to the rules, it is completely fine for the first row to be composed of Gu family members. The second and third rows are composed of dukes and earls who have a very good relationship with the Gu family and have a very high status in Country Y. This is also understandable.
But why do the maids in the Gu family all have seats, and their seats are even closer than hers!
Her Wagner family is also a famous family in Country Y. She never thought that in the Gu family, they would not even be as good as the maids of the Gu family. This is a humiliation, a naked humiliation!
The two ladies sitting next to Mrs. Wagner also looked unhappy. A closer look revealed that they were the two ladies who had humiliated Ji Zhinan together with Mrs. Wagner.
Because of Ji Zhinan, the three ladies and Maureen parted ways unhappily, and Maureen even asked Gu Jue to cut off all cooperation with their families.
For this, they were severely scolded by their husbands.
