Chapter 186 Marriage

"The Guo family is interested, but I think my grandmother doesn't seem to be interested."

Du Jingyi didn’t dare to say whether there was such a thing or not, but Mrs. Guo often pulled Gu Xiaolang aside to talk to her and was not so enthusiastic towards Xue Niang.

It can be seen that he just thinks she is the daughter of an old friend.

Even if he agreed to be the guest of honor at her coming-of-age ceremony, it was only because it was Old Madam Gu who asked, and he did it for her sake.

After hearing what his elder sister-in-law Liu said, Du Jingyi felt a lot of regret.

Then I heard my sister-in-law Liu continue to speak.

"The child of the Guo family is a good one, and there is friendship between the two elders. Xue Niang will not suffer any loss if she marries him. The most important thing is that she is not the daughter-in-law of the eldest son. The daughter-in-law of the youngest grandson is the best one."

The sister-in-law was very considerate of Xueniang.

Given Xueniang's personality, she can't make big decisions or take on big responsibilities, so marrying into the Guo family is a good choice.

But this is where the difficulty lies. I can't let my grandmother and others be unhappy because of this.

So Du Jingyi was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"Don't worry about this, sister-in-law. It's not open to the public. Wait until the general comes back and ask the grandmother and aunts what they think. If they also want to let cousin Lang marry into the Guo family, then we can look at other options. If not, then we can consider Xue Niang."

"There are so many good guys in Daxing, and it doesn't matter if it's just this one. There will always be good ones waiting for our eighth sister."

After hearing her words, sister-in-law Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said with more relief.

"I didn't have anyone to discuss things with before, so I was used to making decisions on my own for so many years. Now that you and your wife are here, it's great. I don't have to be so blind as before."

Sister-in-law Liu's words were from the heart, so her smile was also sincere.

Du Jingyi knew what his sister-in-law meant, so he responded as well.

"I used to listen to my parents' opinions more at home. Now I am lucky to have my sister-in-law to help me check things."

Although their words were polite, they were sincere.

As they were talking, Mrs. Xing came in.

Wherever she went, there was always a lot of hustle and bustle, so naturally the atmosphere in Xitang Courtyard became a lot more cheerful.

"Aunt, why don't you take a break? Why are you running again in such a cold weather?"

"Well, it's all because of that useless guy in my family. I just told him about a few good girls I selected, but before I could finish my words, he ran away! Didn't I come here to find Liu Lang and let him deal with it?"

Xing Zhao is not young anymore, especially now that people around him are getting married or starting a career, Mrs. Xing is naturally anxious.

As soon as these words were spoken, Du Jingyi and his elder sister-in-law Liu both burst into laughter.

The matter of marriage has always been the most difficult to explain clearly.

If the man is in love and the woman is willing, that would be better.

How could someone like Xing Zhao agree to such a blind marriage?

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Most likely, Yue Lao wants to tie a perfect one for Cousin Zhao, so he's still thinking about how to lay the wires."

"You just want to trick me. If I were you, this brat has had too many good days, so he thinks everyone can live as freely as he does. He doesn't think about how old he will be next year. He's not in a hurry, but his father and I are very anxious."

This time, there was a hint of worry in Mrs. Xing's eyes.

You can tell that she is really unhappy.

But who can really smile every day if they have such a son? Du Jingyi also understood after seeing this. It seems that it was the Xing family, or some people or things in Jinling City that made her aunt embarrassed, so she was so anxious to find a reliable wife for her cousin Zhao.

After all, sometimes a marriage can eliminate many troubles.

In this regard, Du Jingyi is considered a beneficiary, so he knows the benefits.

Thinking of this, she had some other ideas in her mind, and planned to ask her husband before making any decision.

In Xitang Courtyard.

The three of them were worried about the marriage of Xue Niang and Xing Zhao, while Xu Lai and Old Madam Gu and others in the courtyard were also busy.

It has been almost two years since Gu Xiaolang came of age. The reason why she has not chosen a husband yet is that she herself is unwilling to marry and has to wait for Shang Ji, and of course the Gu family is making it difficult for her.

Choose someone with a strong family background, for fear that Gu Xiaolang will not be able to make ends meet.

When these old guys pass away one by one, she will lose her confidence in the rear house, which will be troublesome.

If I choose a more ordinary one, I'm afraid I'll encounter someone who pretends to be a big shot. He may appear respectful on the surface, but in fact he wants to use Gu Xiaolang as a springboard.

No matter which one it is, Gu Xiaolang will have a miserable life for the rest of his life if he encounters it.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Therefore, they couldn't find a suitable one after searching around.

At the table today, Mrs. Guo's attitude was self-evident, and she often mentioned her grandson in her words.

Therefore, Madam Gu, Third Aunt and others could understand what it meant.

So the whole family sat together to discuss the matter.

Gu Xiaolang was also there. Although she was still concerned about her cousin, she knew that this was not an option.

It doesn't matter who you marry, so you might as well just be cool and let your grandmother and mother have the final say.

"Guo Jia Silang is indeed good, but I don't think it's appropriate."

The one who spoke was the fourth aunt. She was always straightforward and never dragged her feet, and she truly meant what was best for Gu Xiaolang, so her face was serious when she said this.

"What does Fourth Sister-in-law mean?"

The third aunt didn't quite understand, so she started asking.

However, Old Madam Gu glanced at her fourth daughter-in-law, as if she had already agreed with her point of view before she even said it.

"The Guo family is too deeply involved with the crown prince, and Shao Yu is also very close to the crown prince because of the relationship with our Gu family. This is something that everyone knows. If Lang'er marries him, it sounds like icing on the cake, but in fact it is just another layer of protection for this relationship."

"This marriage was not pure from the beginning. With Lang'er's personality, I'm afraid it won't be a happy one."

Fourth aunt hit the nail on the head and expressed what Old Madam Gu was thinking.

Everything else is just a small matter, but it is very difficult to live a lifetime without love.

In addition, the close relationship between the two families has both advantages and disadvantages.

If life is prosperous, everyone will be happy, but if life is unhappy, there will be no chance to turn back in the future.

Such a marriage may seem good, but in reality it is as desperate as a caged bird.

The fourth aunt felt sorry for her niece and didn't want her to live like this.

Even though she knew that the Guo family would not do anything cruel, she still felt that Silang of the Guo family was not a very good match.

Perhaps it was because he had seen the sandstorms in Cezhou and the decadence and extravagance in Jinling.
