Chapter 418: Concubine is interested

"Shao Yu is here? Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing, I just came to see my third aunt. But why is my aunt still here?"

Mrs. Xing looked mysterious, then smiled and spoke.

"Come and say something good about the kid from the Yan family. He used the money he had left over from the trip, the military pay he received these days, and the bonuses to buy a yard in the southwest. It's not very big, with only two courtyards, but it's close to the Gu family. If it were a horse-drawn carriage, it would take less than an incense stick of time to get there. I helped buy it, so I'm telling you this specifically for Third Sister-in-law and Lang'er to hear."

He has no real military merits now, so the reward is naturally not much. Having this small courtyard can be regarded as a place to settle down and marry a wife.

Third aunt was also satisfied after hearing this, but she said with a smile.

"Lang'er won't marry outside, so it's fine for them to live at home."

Once these words were spoken, it was basically settled. Gu Xiaolang pulled at her mother's sleeve, still a little shy.

Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu recounted the conversation he had just had with Yan Sanlang. The three of them were also surprised at Yan Sanlang's ambitions and long-term plans, so they were all speechless.

"It's a pity that grandma didn't get to see Yan Sanlang today, otherwise she would definitely be satisfied with this grandson-in-law. So I think it's pointless to delay it any longer. When Lang'er is out of mourning, I'll let my aunt go to Yan Sanlang's house to propose marriage."

"Come to propose marriage? Isn't Lang'er not going to marry outside the family?"

Third Aunt had some ideas about this matter, but after hearing Gu Shaoyu talk about Yan Sanlang’s plan, she also knew that Jinling City could not trap him.

"The reason why we don't let our daughters marry outside our family is that we are afraid that they will be bullied. Now that I am here, how dare Yan Sanlang do anything to Lang'er? So whether they marry outside their family or live with us, as long as they can live comfortably, the Gu family will not be too formal about it, and this also applies to the eldest and second sisters."

If they all had the ability to start their own business, Gu Shaoyu would not insist on keeping them tied up at home, but if they wanted to live a peaceful life in the Gu family, he would do his best to take care of them, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Third aunt sighed and said with a look of worry before difficulties arise.

"I only have Lang'er as my child. If she marries someone else, won't I be lonely in the future?"

When Mrs. Xing saw this, she immediately laughed, patted the back of her hand and said.

"Third sister-in-law, what's the big deal? You are Lang'er's mother, and when you get married, you will also be the mother of Yan Sanlang. Isn't it their duty for the two of them to be filial to you and take you with them to take up their posts in other places? If you have a few grandchildren by then, will you still be lonely? I'm afraid you will be kept awake by the noise of the children every day."

Mrs. Xing's words changed Third Aunt's mind.

His eyes lit up and he held Gu Xiaolang's hand. Although he didn't say much, his meaning was self-evident.

Gu Xiaolang has been somewhat happy with Yan Sanlang these days. She has always admired the strong, and the reason why she liked her cousin so much in the past was simply because she was relying on him.

Now I have set my sights on Yan Sanlang, and because I have seen his seriousness and hard work, the idea of ​​spending the rest of my life with Yan Sanlang has become more concrete.

Gu Shaoyu was not stupid. When he saw the scene, he knew what the mother and daughter were thinking, so he spoke.

"Then I'll trouble you to worry about it, Aunt. As for the dowry, my wife and I will take care of it. Lang'er is the apple of Grandmother's eye, and the treasure of our Gu family. I will definitely give her a grand wedding!"

“Brother!”

Gu Xiaolang stamped her feet and blushed deeply, but she couldn't suppress the smile on the corners of her mouth.

After saying this, Gu Shaoyu returned to Qiwuyuan.

After telling Du Jingyi about this matter, Du Jingyi also sighed.

"If we had known that Third Sister would still marry Yan Sanlang after all this detour, we would have stopped interfering and kept Third Sister from getting in the way for so many years."

Gu Shaoyu doesn't think so.

"If we had agreed at that time, Third Sister would have married the Third Young Master of the Earl's Mansion instead of Captain Yan now."

Du Jingyi understood what was meant, so he smiled and spoke.

"That's what the General said!"

Then he added.

"Third sister's dowry has already been prepared. If she gets engaged after she is out of mourning, then the wedding will probably be next year, so the wedding dress and other things must be prepared in advance, otherwise it will not look good if it is rushed. I will talk to Lu Ju about this."

The reason why they didn't ask an outside embroiderer to do this was because the Gu family was still in mourning, and it would be inappropriate if someone heard it.

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

But Lu Ju is one of them, and the embroiderers under him are also sensible in their work, so they are naturally not afraid of the news leaking out. Moreover, their skills are obvious to all and are no worse than those of the embroidered clothes outside.

"The courtyard with two entrances is a bit small. Why not give a courtyard as a dowry in the name of Third Aunt? When I was sorting out the household accounts these days, I saw a courtyard in the southwest. It has four entrances. Maybe it is located near the courtyard that Captain Yan has chosen."

After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu did not agree immediately.

"There's no rush for this. When we really discuss where to live after marriage, we can ask them for their opinions. Captain Yan is now in great shape, so he may not agree."

"That's true. I'm thinking too early. I haven't seen that Captain Yan will only have this courtyard at that time."

Military generals are different from civil officials. If they have made military achievements, they will be extremely rich.

Therefore, in the following days, the marriage between Yan Sanlang and Gu Xiaolang became something that everyone knew but did not make public. Du Jingyi was busy taking care of household affairs while secretly preparing a dowry for Gu Xiaolang, and he was indeed overwhelmed.

As the days passed, at the end of May, Gu Xiaoyun successfully gave birth to a baby boy. He took the Gu family surname and was named Gu Sizhong by Madam Gu.

Brother Tai often took his three younger brothers, who were already able to walk, to visit this younger brother.

Zhongge'er, Zhongge'er, he kept calling out.

But if we come to the point, Tai Ge'er's favorite is his only sister Jin'er, who is soft, fair and tender, and cannot be compared to his younger brothers, who are all rough men.

Therefore, despite his young age, he has been busier than Du Jingyi recently.

When I wake up, I go to see my three younger brothers first to see how they are doing today. Then I go to my great grandmother's yard to see my sister Jin'er to see how she is eating. Finally, I go to see my fifth brother Zhong'er at my second grandmother's house to see if he is sleeping soundly.

Fourth Aunt teased him, saying that he was still young, but he was doing a good job as the head of the Gu family! (End of this chapter)
