Chapter 190: A formal meeting with a rich betrothal gift
"Mother, I have carefully read the betrothal gift list and there is no problem," Gu Jinxuan said with a smile, and then carefully handed the list in his hand to Princess Anyang.
His heart was filled with gratitude towards his mother, because everything on the list was carefully selected and prepared extremely thoroughly.
Princess Anyang took the list, quickly glanced through it, and nodded with satisfaction. "Well, if you think it's okay, that's good. However, as we agreed before, we still need to add the things you mentioned. It's getting late today, so tomorrow morning you will go to the Lin family to propose marriage and discuss with them the wedding date for you and Qingxue. I've had someone calculate several auspicious dates, and the two closest ones are three days from now, and the other three months from now. What do you think? Which one would you like to choose?"
After hearing his mother's words, Gu Jinxuan thought for a moment and then replied, "Mother, let's set the date three days from now. This will be a good time to catch those people off guard. I might be quite busy during this period, so I hope Jinyu can hurry up and prepare for the wedding. As for you, mother, could you please send someone to redecorate my yard? After all, getting married is a major event in life, and we need some new things to make it a better place."
After saying this, Gu Jinxuan nodded slightly, indicating that he had made up his mind. At this time, Princess Anyang's face was filled with a gratified smile. Seeing that her eldest son finally found a close friend, she felt extremely satisfied as a mother.
"Just leave these trivial matters to mother, and you can just focus on your work!"
Princess Anyang said this with a smile on her face. For her, her son's marriage was a matter of great importance, so she naturally had to prepare carefully and give it her all.
Fortunately, not everything needs to be done by her personally. After all, as a princess of noble status, she only needs to arrange various affairs and give orders, and then her well-trained and capable servants will complete all the work in an orderly manner according to her instructions.
Thinking of this, Princess Anyang felt more relieved and confident, believing that this wedding would be grand, decent and perfect.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, mother!" Gu Jinxuan said to his mother with a smile on his face and gratitude in his eyes. His sincere gaze seemed to be able to penetrate everything, and others couldn't help but be moved by it.
Amidst the laughter and joy, time passed quietly, and before we knew it, night had fallen and it was time for dinner.
The family sat around the dining table, enjoying a rich and delicious dinner. The table was filled with warmth and happiness. Everyone was enjoying the food and chatting happily.
After dinner, Gu Jinxuan felt a little exhausted. After all, he had been busy all day and hadn't even had a moment to rest.
Add to that the unexpected encounter last night - he was unfortunately drugged, and then he was busy for several hours before he was relieved. If it weren't for his long-term martial arts practice, which had cultivated extraordinary perseverance and physical fitness, it would have been difficult for him to hold on until now.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinxuan shook his head gently, then slowly stood up, said good night to his family, and turned to walk towards his room.
Pushing the door open and walking into the room, a familiar tranquility washed over him. He walked to the bedside, sat down gently, and then his body involuntarily leaned back and collapsed onto the soft bed.
After a while, the sound of even and light breathing came from his nose, and he fell into a deep sleep, entering a sweet dream.
On the morning of the second day, a faint fish belly white color just appeared in the eastern sky, like a layer of soft gauze covering the earth.
At this time, the Gu Mansion was a busy and bustling scene. Servants hurriedly shuttled between the courtyards, carefully holding pieces of silk with superior color, soft and smooth texture in their hands; there were also exquisite wooden boxes filled with precious jewels and jades, sparkling with dazzling light; and all kinds of exquisite betrothal gifts were carried in an orderly manner to a series of gorgeously decorated carriages.
In front of the mansion gate, Gu Jinxuan was wearing a gorgeous suit with fine embroidery and bright colors. He was as tall and straight as a pine tree, with a handsome face and bright eyes. He looked energetic and full of vigor.
Beside him stood his sister Gu Jinyu and Princess Anyang, who were also dressed in gorgeous attire. Gu Jinyu had also dressed up carefully today, her face filled with joy and excitement.
"Brother, just go with peace of mind. I'll be taking care of the wedding preparations at home, and there will definitely be no mistakes!" Gu Jinyu patted his chest confidently and assured Gu Jinxuan.
Gu Jinxuan looked at Gu Jinyu, smiled and nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work. You must ensure that every step is perfect and foolproof! My mother and I will go to the Lin Mansion to propose marriage."
At this time, Princess Anyang said softly, "Jinxuan, it's getting late. Let's hurry up and head to the Lin Mansion."
Before he finished speaking, Nanny Feng beside him hurried forward to help Princess Anyang get on the carriage that had been waiting for a long time. Then, Gu Jinxuan jumped onto the horse with clean and neat movements.
With the crisp sound of a whip, the team consisting of carriages and horses set off in a mighty procession, slowly moving along the wide street towards the direction of the Lin Mansion.
Along the way, passers-by looked on and admired the grand display. Gu Jinxuan led a large team of betrothal guests towards the Lin family mansion.
Along the way, the team attracted the attention of passers-by, and everyone was talking about the upcoming grand wedding.
When the huge betrothal procession from the Gu Mansion arrived at the Lin Mansion like a long dragon, the originally quiet alley was instantly flooded with noise.
People came from all directions, filling the narrow alley to the brim, and the noise was endless, as if a grand celebration was taking place.
After hearing the noise, the neighbors next door couldn't contain their curiosity. They opened their doors and stuck their heads out to look.
They stared with their eyes wide open and talked among themselves, wanting to witness with their own eyes what a spectacular sight it would be when this legendary wealthy family proposed marriage. For a while, the sounds of admiration and exclamations were endless.
At the Lin Mansion, Lin Qingming was wearing a brand new long gown, his posture as straight as a pine tree; Lin Qingbai beside him was also dressed in smart clothes, with a smile on his face.
The two of them had been waiting in front of the mansion gate early, eagerly waiting. When they saw the magnificent betrothal team approaching, their heartbeats involuntarily quickened. They were extremely surprised by this sudden honor, but at the same time they couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
At this time, Uncle Lin and Old Man Lin were sitting in the spacious and bright hall, waiting calmly. After all, as elders, they naturally needed to maintain a sense of reserve and composure.
However, although they seemed calm on the surface, their eyes would drift towards the door from time to time, revealing the anticipation deep in their hearts that was difficult to conceal.
At this moment, Gu Jinxuan walked steadily to the front of Lin Qingming and his brother. He looked solemn and respectful as he made a standard salute to Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai. He said in a clear voice: "Brother, brother, I have come here today to propose marriage. I hope you two brothers can be flexible and allow me to enter your house."
Seeing this, Lin Qingming quickly reached out to support Gu Jinxuan, his face filled with a warm smile, and said, "You are so polite! Please come in quickly. My grandparents and parents have been waiting in the hall for a long time."
After that, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, leading Gu Jinxuan and his group into the mansion.
"Okay, thank you, big brother and second brother!" Gu Jinxuan said happily, with a bright smile on his face. His bright eyes sparkled with joy like stars, and he looked at the brothers Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai standing beside him with gratitude.
Then he turned around and walked briskly towards the carriage parked not far away. When he came to the carriage, he carefully stretched out his hands and gently held Princess Anyang's slender jade hand.
Princess Anyang nodded slightly and got out of the car gracefully. She was wearing a gorgeous long dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, making her as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth.
At the same time, many servants were busy unloading boxes of exquisite betrothal gifts from the carriage and carrying them into the gate of the Lin Mansion in an orderly manner.
These betrothal gifts are dazzling and dazzling: there are glittering jewelry, gorgeous clothes woven with silk and satin, and priceless antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Each one exudes luxury and nobility.
As the betrothal gifts were carried into the Lin Mansion one by one, the originally spacious courtyard was gradually filled up. The servants of the Lin Mansion gathered around, looking curiously at the mountains of gifts.
Their eyes widened, their mouths slightly opened, their eyes full of amazement. Some servants couldn't help but whisper about it, praising the generous betrothal gift; others secretly envied the Lin family for the grand and solemn wedding that was about to take place.
As Gu Jinxuan and others slowly walked into the spacious and magnificent hall, the originally bustling alley outside the Lin Mansion gradually returned to tranquility.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was harmonious. Gu Jinxuan, Old Man Lin, and Uncle Lin were sitting around an exquisite round table, discussing every key detail of the upcoming grand wedding.
Gu Jinxuan bowed slightly, his face respectful, and softly said to the two elders before him, "Master, Uncle, my mother has carefully selected an auspicious date. Three days from now, it will be a perfect day for a perfect match. I wonder if you two have any thoughts or opinions on this?"
His eyes were sincere and expectant, quietly awaiting the other party's response. After Old Man Lin and Uncle Lin exchanged glances, Uncle Lin spoke first, "Jinxuan, we don't have any objections to this date. However, this wedding involves so many things, and there are so many things to consider. I'm afraid three days is a bit tight. After all, there are so many things that need to be carefully considered."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but frown slightly, revealing a trace of worry. Hearing this, Gu Jinxuan smiled slightly and responded calmly, "Don't worry, uncle. My brother will do his best to prepare and arrange all matters related to the wedding. I can assure you that Qingxue will never suffer the slightest injustice. Besides, I sincerely hope to marry Qingxue as soon as possible so that she can have a stable and solid life. What's more, this time, Qingxue and I got married after I personally petitioned the current emperor. Now, I don't know how many eyes in the entire imperial city are staring at us! So, I am really worried that if we delay too long, some unexpected complications will inevitably arise later."
Having said this, his expression became slightly serious, but the determination in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin's face blossomed with a happy smile, and a warm current surged through her heart, making her feel extremely relieved and satisfied.
She tilted her head slightly, looking at the person in front of her with gentle eyes, and smiled softly, "Jinxuan is such a thoughtful child! It's really rare to have such a thoughtful heart. We really don't have much to say. Since you have already made up your mind, then do it according to your ideas! As for other matters, we old couple don't really understand the rules in the imperial city. However, our only hope is that you will treat our Qingxue girl and her two lovely children well in the future."
Hearing this, Princess Anyang quickly nodded and said, "Of course, mother-in-law, don't worry! Qingxue is a good girl that's hard to find even with a lantern. And I've also heard Huaiyuan and Huaining mention that Xiaoya and Xiaowan are also good and well-behaved children who are so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed. They are both well-behaved and obedient. Our Gu family will definitely do our best to educate them and will definitely not treat them unfairly."
As she spoke, Princess Anyang raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a kind and gentle smile, and gazed at Mrs. Lin with gentle and friendly eyes.
At this moment, when facing the ordinary people Lin Pozi and her family, Princess Anyang, who was usually high and mighty and majestic, actually took the initiative to restrain her powerful aura and momentum, and completely transformed herself into an ordinary person, as if she was just an ordinary mother who came to offer a betrothal gift for her son with joy.
"Hearing what you said, I feel much more at ease. My daughter Qingxue's parents passed away long ago. The man she married before was a jerk. In order to support her nephew's education, he wanted to buy two maids. Qingxue disagreed and was beaten half to death. It was impossible to ask a doctor to see her. It was the villagers who couldn't bear it and reported it to us. She divorced and returned home with her two children. She had to flee the famine before she could recover."
At this point, Mrs. Lin wiped the tears from her eyes and continued, "Escaping from the famine to the imperial city, Qingxue even forced herself, a girl, to become a man in order to survive. We are all heartbroken, but we can do nothing. Our Lin family's conditions are here. If Qingxue and her daughter do anything unpleasant, you can send them back to the Lin family. Don't beat or scold them."
