Lin Jiuyue naturally understood what General Zhenyuan was talking about.
"Uncle Gu said exactly what I was worried about..."
When General Zhenyuan heard Lin Jiuyue's words, the tense expression on his face immediately relaxed.
"Jiuyue girl, our Gu family's motto is not to allow concubines. What you are worried about is not a problem. If, if this brat dares to betray you, Uncle Gu will be the first one to not let him go."
"Yes, yes, September, Aunt Gu is the same as your Uncle Gu. If that brat Cheng Yan really does anything to let you down, Aunt Gu won't let him go."
Lin Jiuyue didn't know how true General Zhenyuan and Madam Gu's words were. But what she did know was that 99.9% of parents in this world loved their children.
If that time really comes, it is still unknown who General Zhenyuan and Mrs. Gu will help in the end.
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Aunt Gu, Jiu Yue has known you for so long, so naturally she trusts you."
"However, Jiuyue heard that the proposal of marriage must be made by the elders of the family in accordance with the rules..."
Madam Gu and General Zhenyuan looked at each other.
"this……"
The Lin family has no elders. How can we find the elders of the Lin family?
Lin Qiye, who was standing by, heard this and quickly spoke.
"Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, it's me."
"At home, you should obey your father; after marriage, you should obey your husband. My sister and I have no parents, nor any relatives or elders. Qiye is the head of the Lin family. Logically speaking, I should have the final say on my sister's marriage."
When General Zhenyuan and his wife heard Lin Qiye's words, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, there is a male in the Lin family. The matter of proposing marriage is the same as what I said to Qiye.
Judging from what September just said, she probably has no objection to this marriage.
In this case, there should be no problem with the marriage between my son and Jiuyue.
"Jiuyue, then, has Uncle Gu told Qiye about this?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Okay, Aunt Gu, you guys chat, I'm leaving first."
As soon as Lin Jiuyue left, the Gu family began to discuss the marriage between Lin Jiuyue and Gu Chengyan.
Not long after, Lin Qiye came to Lin Jiuyue's yard.
"elder sister!"
Lin Jiuyue didn't even raise his head.
"What? Have you discussed it?"
Lin Qiye nodded.
"Sister, we've discussed it."
Originally, Lin Qiye thought his sister's marriage to Brother Gu was a good choice and a good thing. But now that it was finally decided, he suddenly felt empty inside.
"Sister, when you get married, I will be the only one left in this family..."
Lin Qiye said in a low voice.
Lin Jiuyue raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Qiye.
"What? Can't bear to leave your sister?"
Lin Qiye nodded seriously.
"Um."
"If you can't bear to give it up, why did you agree to it then?"
Lin Qiye said without thinking.
"Of course I agree. Brother Gu is such a good man. If you marry him, he will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future."
The brother and sister chatted until it got dark, and then they returned to their respective yards.
Lin Jiuyue and Gu Chengyan's engagement date is set for the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.
As soon as Gu Chengyan returned to the Gu family, he began to call his men over.
He ordered his men to prepare the things needed for the engagement. Gu Chengyan himself began to collect all kinds of good things from all over the country, waiting for the engagement ceremony to be over before he could start giving out the betrothal gifts.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the ninth day of September.
Gu Chengyan sent someone to deliver the dress that Lin Jiuyue needed early on.
In the morning, Lin Jiuyue was woken up from bed early by Xiyue.
"Xiyue, I'll sleep a little longer, don't call me."
Xiyue looked at Lin Jiuyue helplessly.
My daughter is good in every way except that she likes to sleep in sometimes.
Normally I would sleep in, but today is the day when the young lady is getting engaged, so I can’t sleep in.
"Miss, have you forgotten that today is your engagement day? If you don't get up soon, General Gu will come to find you personally. I won't be able to stop him then."
When Lin Jiuyue heard Xiyue's words, she jumped up from the bed.
"Hey, why didn't you say so earlier?"
After quickly getting out of bed and washing up, Xiyue began to put makeup on Lin Jiuyue.
Xiyue learned makeup techniques from Lin Jiuyue, and now her makeup techniques have become well-known.
When the ladies of noble families in the capital need to attend important occasions, they will ask Xiyue to do their makeup.
But most of them were rejected by Xiyue. Unless Lin Jiuyue specifically instructed her to do so, Xiyue would accept them.
"My lady, I thought you remembered it."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
As soon as she finished putting on makeup, Lin Qiye ran over.
"Sister, sister! Are you ready? Brother Gu and the others will be at the door soon."
Lin Qiye shouted anxiously outside the door.
"Okay, okay, I'll be right out."
"Xiyue, hurry up, it's too late."
"Don't worry, Miss. It will be fine soon."
Xiyue inserted the last hairpin into Lin Jiuyue's head.
"Okay, miss, what do you think? If there's anything you're not satisfied with, we can make some changes."
"Alright, alright, that's it. It's almost too late."
After packing up, Lin Jiuyue stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the yard.
In the yard.
The Gu family had already arrived. They were being arranged by the servants of the General of the Cavalry's Mansion to drink tea in the courtyard. When they saw Lin Jiuyue coming, the Gu family's faces almost broke with laughter.
Especially Gu Chengyan. Everyone was stunned.
"September?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded at Gu Chengyan.
"What? You don't recognize me after I put on makeup?"
When Gu Chengyan heard Lin Jiuyue's words, his ears turned red.
"Haha, I know you. I just feel that you are a little different today. Well, you are much more beautiful today than usual."
After Gu Chengyan finished speaking, he added another sentence.
"Well, she's beautiful normally, but even more beautiful today."
The engagement ceremony between the two was not very complicated. They simply invited a few witnesses and brought the engagement items.
Once both parties exchange their calculated birth dates, the engagement ceremony is completed.
"September, we've discussed it before. Let's set the date for you and Cheng'er to get married on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. After you get married, it will be the Chinese New Year in five days."
"After you return home in three days, you will spend the New Year at our Gu family this year. When the time comes, Qiye will also come to our Gu family to celebrate the New Year. This way, you won't feel uncomfortable."
Mrs. Gu spoke slowly.
Lin Jiuyue saw that Madam Gu had considered everything for her, even the New Year's Eve? She had considered it for her, so what else could she not agree to?
