"Thank you for letting my sister-in-law take this hard journey."

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Aren't we all family? We should come to join in the fun of such a happy event as Eighth Sister's wedding. Just don't think these kids are annoying."

The children that Sanlang's wife brought with her now include not only four from her own family, but also two from Erlang's family, so there are six children in total. These children had been warned left and right by Sanlang and his wife before coming, so naturally they did not dare to do anything reckless.

Therefore, even if they found everything new, they would not be too unrestrained. Seeing this, the eldest sister-in-law Liu was kind enough to give each of them a handful of gold coins as lottery money, which made the children stunned.

At the same time, Sanlang's wife was also scared.

She had been in the Duke's Mansion for many years and had never seen her sister-in-law be so generous, so she was particularly surprised and replied immediately.

"What are you doing, sister-in-law? The children are still young and can't use it."

"Don't be polite to me, sister-in-law. Today is Eighth Sister's big day. She is giving some bonus money to her nephews and nieces. Just accept it."

Seeing this, Sanlang's wife didn't say much. She asked them to each take their purses and put the golden robe away. Then she felt deeply moved in her heart.

As expected, people still need to be raised in wealth. The sister-in-law who was timid in the past has become so domineering now. How can this not be the credit of the general's mansion? If there is a chance, she would also like to come and feel the good feng shui of the general's mansion.

It's a pity that although she thought about it, she didn't dare to say anything beyond the rules, for fear of causing trouble and ruining the situation that their third room had worked so hard to achieve. Therefore, she was very serious about it.

With the same attitude as her, Shang Sanlang was also very proud to be accompanying Gu Shaoyu in entertaining the guests!

Many people originally thought that he was invisible, but seeing that he could now stand beside Gu Shaoyu, naturally they smiled more and drank the wine in their glasses more easily.

Shang Sanlang was also a man of great perceptiveness. He never relied on the power of the General's Mansion to put on airs in public. He was always kind to others, so he had a good reputation.

The two cousins ​​were entertaining the guests in the front hall, and other people from the third and fifth rooms came over one after another. Then, the fourth aunt and her family, who rarely had contact with them on weekdays, also showed up.

They were all honest farmers, so when they saw these nobles, they were somewhat reserved. But Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle did not find the wealth and status so attractive. Instead, they wanted to avoid being influenced by them as much as possible.

So, after briefly greeting Gu Shaoyu and Shang Sanlang, he went to the third old master and called him in a very cordial manner.

"Third brother."

The relationship between the fourth aunt and the third old master is pretty good, and it has been like this since they were young. So when he saw the fourth sister and her family coming over, the third old master was happy from the bottom of his heart. At least they didn't have to feel embarrassed.

Otherwise, this room was full of people from powerful and noble families. They knew many of them when they stayed in the Duke's Mansion before, but now, even if he brought a glass of wine over, they might not be willing to clink glasses.

So, he started talking to his fourth sister enthusiastically.

"If you ask me, you and your sister-in-law should live in our country farm. When you open the door, you will see fields and forests. It will make you feel much more relaxed. At our age, what else do we need to fight for? Why not let the children feel more at ease?"

After saying that, he glanced at Shang Sanlang in the distance, and his meaning was obvious.

Although the fourth aunt had never interfered in the relationship between Gu Shaoyu and the Shang family, she knew what she should know, so it was already a great favor for her to promote Shang Sanlang to her side.

Therefore, if the third room wants to live a good life in the future, it is better for them to be more disciplined, for example, stay away from the children to avoid delays.

The Third Old Master has long lost the glory he had in the Duke's Mansion. He now appears to be in his twilight years, and it is unclear how many days he can live. Therefore, the Fourth Sister's words are indeed tempting to him.

Seeing this, the third old master nodded seriously and said.

"Let me think about it. If I really want to go, I'll tell you. Is your house big enough?"

"Third brother, you look down on me, don't you? We don't have a luxurious house like the one in the general's mansion, but we do have a large area to shelter us from the wind and rain."

When the fourth aunt said this, her eyes revealed a rich satisfaction, which made the third old master a little dazed for a moment. From time to time, he thought of the affection he had for his brothers and sisters growing up together when he was young, and for a moment he felt quite sentimental.

But for a person like him, let him feel sentimental, no one will care.

After all, everyone in the Gu family was busy trying to find the Guo family who had come to welcome the bride.

Speaking of Guo Silang's wedding, it was indeed the most lively event in Sui'an City since the Lantern Festival. The prince condescended to accompany him and come to welcome the bride, which gave Guo Silang and Xue Niang supreme honor.

The people in the Gu family's courtyard were excited to see the new son-in-law and the prince. Fortunately, Butler He and Nanny Dou were good at managing their subordinates on weekdays, so the servants in the general's mansion were very considerate and attentive in their service despite their excitement.

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

Xuenniang is getting married today, but no one from the Duke's Mansion has arrived.

Gu Shaoyu thought that their father would come and talk about it somehow, but unexpectedly, he didn't mention a word.

So, when the newlyweds offered tea at last, they offered it to Gu Shaoyu and sister-in-law Liu.

One of them is her elder sister-in-law who is like a mother to her and brought her up since she was a child, and the other is her blood relative and will be the pillar of her family in the future, so it is only natural to serve tea to them both.

No one present had any objection. It was only after the noise of music and dancing outside had started and Xue Niang had been sent to the bridal sedan that the prince leaned over to Gu Shaoyu's ear with a smile on his face and said something.

"I'm afraid your father is not going to make it. The palace doctors have been there two or three times and they all said that he is paralyzed and bedridden. There is no hope of recovery. If he is taken good care of, he may live another three to five years. If not... I'm afraid he may only live one to two years."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu raised his eyebrows. Since he left Sui'an City, he no longer sent people to inquire about the news of the Duke's Mansion, so this was the first time he heard of what the prince mentioned today.

"He had a stroke?"

"Yes, it happened in the first month of the year. I heard that he was angry, but I don't know what it was. If you want to know, you'd better go and take a look. Without the Duke, your family will have to observe mourning and resign."
