Chapter 192 Qingxue's Dowry and a Lively Wedding Banquet
The Gu family was currently immersed in a bustling bustle, with everyone carefully preparing for the grand wedding of Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue.
At the same time, there was a festive scene in the Lin Mansion. Lin Qingxue was busy making preparations for her upcoming happy moment.
Lin Qingxue's boudoir was crowded with people. Several of her sisters-in-law came to help. Some carefully selected exquisite wedding dresses for her, while others carefully sorted out various dowry items. Laughter and joy could be heard from time to time in the room, and the atmosphere was full of warmth and joy.
At this time, the eldest sister-in-law, Li Yanniang, walked over to Lin Qingxue with a smile and said softly, "Qingxue, grandma and mother told us that our family is not very wealthy, so what we can prepare for you is quite limited. But don't worry, we will let you take all the generous betrothal gifts sent by the Gu family back to your in-laws' home intact. Moreover, your brothers, Qingming and the other four brothers, specially pooled two thousand taels of silver notes for you! In addition, the ownership of our food restaurant will also be transferred to your name, but the profit sharing will remain the same as before."
After saying this, Li Yanniang turned around and began to skillfully count the dowry items, including the brand new bedding and exquisite furniture, one by one, and carefully packed them into large boxes.
Seeing this, the other two sisters-in-law and Lin Qingyue also hurried over to help. Everyone worked together and soon all the dowry items were put in order.
"Sister-in-law, you should take back this banknote. You really don't have to give it to me! The Gu family knows our financial situation well. There's no need to use up all the family savings just to save face for me."
Lin Qingxue shook her head gently, her face filled with helplessness. You know, the entire Lin family doted on her the most. Even Lin Qingyue was far behind her.
Back then, when Lin Qingyue was not yet born, as the first granddaughter of Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin, Lin Qingxue was loved by Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin like their own daughter for many years.
At this time, the eldest sister-in-law looked at Lin Qingxue with a serious face and slowly said, "Qingxue, I came to tell you this today, not to discuss with you. You silly girl doesn't understand the reason. For a woman, this dowry is a source of confidence after marrying into her husband's family! Although the Gu family is powerful and wealthy, and our family is indeed difficult to compare with them, we must not give up so easily. Otherwise, even if the Gu family doesn't say anything, the rumors from the outside world will definitely make you unbearable."
Fang Furong glared at Lin Qingxue with a face full of anger, and sighed inwardly: How could this silly girl be so clueless? She only thinks about her parents' home all day long. Hasn't she ever thought about the fact that they are all healthy people? Their family owns several farms and shops, so how could they not be able to support themselves?
At this time, Liu Jiali stopped what she was busy doing and took over the conversation, saying, "Your second sister-in-law is right, Qingxue. Since we can give you these things, it means that we really have them. If we really can't give them, it means that we don't have the conditions! After you marry into the Gu family, you only need to do your job and take care of the housework. If anyone dares to bully you, just come back to your parents' home. Our whole family will be your solid backing!"
As she spoke, Liu Jiali continued to work swiftly, but her mouth was like a machine gun, refusing to stop for a moment.
In fact, when she just married into the Lin family, Lin Qingxue was already married. Although the two sisters-in-law did not spend much time together, fortunately, neither of them was the kind of person who liked to stir up trouble, so their relationship has always been quite harmonious and they got along very well.
Lin Qingxue's fair face was as pink and delicate as peach blossoms blooming in spring. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a bright and sincere smile. That smile seemed to be able to melt the ice and snow in winter, making people feel extremely warm and kind.
She opened her red lips and said softly, "Sisters-in-law, I really think that my brothers and sisters are blessed to have married gentle, virtuous, kind, and beautiful women like you. It is simply the blessing they have cultivated for several lifetimes!"
Hearing this, Li Yanniang and the other two sisters-in-law couldn't help but smile at each other, and their eyes revealed their recognition and intimacy for each other.
Then, Li Yanniang gently shook her head and retorted with a smile, "Oh, Qingxue, don't say that. If we're talking about such good fortune, it should be us sisters who have it! Being able to marry into a good family like the Lin family is the blessing we have accumulated through our good deeds in our previous lives!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the other two nodded in agreement, expressing their agreement that what Li Yanniang said was true. You know, nowadays, a woman's fate after marriage is often difficult to control. If she is unfortunate enough to marry into a family that is difficult to get along with, her life will be extremely miserable.
However, for Li Yanniang and three others, the situation was completely different. Although they each had different backgrounds, they had felt unprecedented love and care since they entered the Lin family.
Not only were the three Lin Qingming brothers considerate and caring towards them, they were also extremely doting and indulgent towards the elders in the family; and the next generation of children were even more well-behaved, obedient, and sensible; as for the two aunts in the family - Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue, instead of becoming "troublemakers" who loved to spread rumors and sow discord, they got along with them very harmoniously and were as close as a family.
How can we not cherish and be grateful for such a happy and fulfilling living environment?
The aunts and sisters-in-law sat together, chattering and the atmosphere was very lively. They swiftly sorted out Lin Qingxue's dowry one by one and placed it neatly.
After everything was packed up, Li Yanniang and others got up and went to the front hall to prepare other matters related to the wedding, leaving only the sisters Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue to stay quietly in the yard, enjoying a moment of tranquility.
However, at this critical moment on the eve of the wedding, an unexpected change quietly occurred.
The Lin family suddenly received a mysterious anonymous letter. When Lin Qingming opened the envelope with trembling hands, he saw a line of shocking words: "If you don't want the Lin family to be annihilated, cancel the wedding immediately and leave the imperial city as soon as possible! Otherwise, not only will the Lin family be doomed, but the entire Linjia Village will also suffer a devastating disaster."
After reading the letter, Lin Qingming was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was terrified. He held the letter tightly and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
Who sent such a threatening letter?
What is the purpose of the mastermind behind this?
Although there is no conclusive evidence to show that this matter is related to the Gu family, Lin Qingming has a vague intuition deep in his heart - this matter is probably inseparable from the Gu family.
At this moment, Lin Qingming was flustered and at a loss. Faced with such a difficult situation, he immediately thought of Gu Jinxuan.
After all, their Lin family is just an ordinary family. In terms of power and strength, they are far from being able to cope with such a crisis. Only by relying on the Gu family where Gu Jinxuan is, there may be a glimmer of hope to resolve this disaster.
Lin Qingming hurried to Lin Qingxue and said in a panic, "Qingxue, we really have no solution in this situation! I think this matter must be handed over to Gu Jinxuan. Please send a reliable person to deliver this anonymous letter to the Gu family as soon as possible and ask them to decide how to deal with it."
After saying that, Lin Qingming's panicked eyes kept darting around, as if he had lost the ability to think, looking completely spineless.
"Calm down, big brother! Don't be afraid! Don't worry, Gu Jinxuan and the Gu family have already arranged for people to guard the Lin Mansion and Lin Village. These guys are just bluffing and purely want to scare us."
Lin Qingxue clutched the letter tightly in her hand, her face gloomy as if water could drip out. Anger burned fiercely in her heart, but she knew that anger alone would not solve the thorny problem before her. At this moment, she had to keep a clear head in order to come up with a solution.
So she took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and began to think carefully about what to do next.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Qingmin, I'm sure you all see clearly the difficult situation our Lin family is currently in, right? In an era where imperial power is supreme and unshakable, even if we simply want to run a business honestly and steadily, it will never be possible! The training being conducted at the base is of paramount importance, and it concerns the future prosperity and honor of our entire family, especially Xiaoshan's generation. We must pay extra attention to their education in the future."
There was no expression on Lin Qingxue's beautiful face, and her deep and sharp eyes stared quietly at Lin Qingming and others in front of her.
You know, as members of the Lin family who come from an ordinary small family, their daily thoughts and ideas are naturally not lofty, broad, comprehensive and complete.
They only think about conducting themselves and running their businesses in an honest manner, but they completely ignore a cruel reality - some people with bad intentions will still come to us and cause trouble even if we don't provoke or offend them.
"Okay, little sister, we will all follow your arrangements," Lin Qingming and the other three brothers looked at each other, and responded in unison and firmly.
At this moment, Lin Qingming and the other four suddenly realized as if they had been enlightened. They finally realized that they were indeed short-sighted and narrow-minded before, and almost brought disaster to the whole family.
"We must speed up the training at the base! Also, secretly send personnel to various parts of the country to find and adopt more orphans, and then send them to the base for training. Lao Wu, you will be responsible for investigating Xiao Shan and the others' talent for studying. If there is really no hope, let them study for a few years and then send them directly to the base. After I get married, I will take the time to carefully plan what kind of career our Lin family should pursue in the future."
Lin Qingxue's face was as calm as water as she spoke slowly. It was obvious that at this moment, Lin Qingxue had made up her mind to use all her skills.
After all, she will soon become the Crown Prince's Consort of the Gu family, and in this way, she will be a true royal relative.
Therefore, she must try her best to increase the chips in her hand.
Hearing his sister's instructions, Lin Qingming nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, Qingxue, we'll do whatever you say!"
The other people present just listened quietly and did not express any opinions, especially the respected elders such as Old Man Lin and Uncle Lin, who remained silent the whole time because they firmly believed that these children of theirs were very sensible and did not need too much interference.
Seeing this, Lin Qingxue nodded slightly to show her satisfaction, and then added: "Also, don't mention this matter to Gu Jinxuan for the time being. I believe those people won't dare to act rashly."
After she said this, a barely perceptible cunning light flashed in her eyes. Seeing her say this, Lin Qingming and the others naturally stopped talking and were silent for a while. Seeing that she had nothing else to do, the others went about their business. They would be attending the wedding banquet tomorrow, and everyone still had a lot of things to do!
On the wedding day, the entire Gu Mansion was decorated magnificently, with big red lanterns hung high and red ribbons fluttering in the wind. A festive atmosphere permeated every corner.
Guests came from all directions, some of them were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, and some brought precious gifts. Everyone had a sincere smile of joy on his face, and laughter and joy were heard one after another.
Gu Jinxuan was wearing a bright red wedding dress. He stood as straight as a pine tree, looking energetic and bright, standing in front of the mansion gate, warmly welcoming the guests who came one after another.
Beside him, Gu Jinyuting, who had also been carefully dressed up, accompanied Gu Jinyu. Together they greeted the guests with a smile, showing the demeanor of a young master from a noble family.
At the same time, in the Lin Mansion, Lin Qingxue was dressing herself up with the careful assistance of Lin Qingyue.
She gently put on the gorgeous phoenix coronet and bridal gown, the sparkling jewels sparkling with dazzling light, like the brightest stars in the night sky. With a little makeup on her face, her complexion was as white as jade, her eyebrows were curved, and her lips were red without any makeup. She was breathtakingly beautiful, just like a fairy who had descended from fairyland to the mortal world.
At this moment, Lin Qingxue's heart was filled with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. On the one hand, she felt a little uneasy about the upcoming new stage of life; on the other hand, she was looking forward to walking hand in hand with her beloved, Gu Jinxuan, to walk through the long years together and write a happy chapter for the two of them.
With the sound of gongs and drums, the wedding procession arrived at the gate of the Lin Mansion like a long dragon. Surrounded by many relatives and friends, Gu Jinxuan stepped into the gate of the Lin Mansion with steady and powerful steps.
In accordance with traditional customs, he respectfully offered fragrant tea to Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin, and sincerely expressed his respect and gratitude to his elders.
Then, he joyfully took Lin Qingxue's soft and delicate hand, slowly walked out of the Lin family mansion, and headed towards a future full of hope and beauty.
