"Mom! Didn't I tell you before? The eldest princess has such a temper that even if the princess twists her hair and becomes a daughter-in-law, she won't be able to tell her daughter to our family. Don't say that again in the future.
Oh, so as not to damage the reputation of this girl."
We were about to fall out with each other before, so the eldest princess probably had a lot of opinions about him and his mother. It wouldn't be enough to say she hated him, but she was definitely extremely unhappy.
"What do you know? The princess is gentle and virtuous, and I think she is good. We have never seen a Yao girl like you. Who knows what kind of temperament she has? Besides, this stepmother married into the mansion, and left behind
A girl is either taught to be as timid as a mouse, or she is very aggressive, and her temper is definitely not pleasing to the eye."
Gu Chengyu was dumbfounded. In fact, he thought Yao Mengxian had a good temper, right?
Gu Chengyu knew that his mother thought that the princess had a high status and could help him in the officialdom in the future. For this reason, she could even endure the anger she had received from the eldest princess before.
But he didn't want to endure it, let alone his parents.
Poor mothers in the world, for the sake of their own children, sometimes they are afraid that they would even abandon their dignity.
"Also, I wonder how much dowry her family can give her? Didn't I hear that she is often supported by her grandfather?"
The more Ms. Lu thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became, and she also had some prejudices against Yao Mengxian, who was about to become her daughter-in-law.
"Why do you call it a financial aid if you give it to your granddaughter? Don't even think about trying to climb a high tree. Since she is Teacher Bao's granddaughter, she must be well-educated. Her status is not low, so don't make any mistakes.
."
When Father Gu heard that the emperor was going to grant a marriage, he understood that even if he was not satisfied with the marriage, he had to be satisfied.
Besides, she is also the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family, so what’s wrong with the treasures? When the old woman saw the princess, her eyes shone, and she dreamed of unrealistic dreams.
He saw that the princess was always asking the old lady out some time ago, talking sweet words all day long, and fooling the old lady.
Gu Chengyu's eyes were slightly narrowed. How could his mother know that he relied on his grandfather for financial support?
Seeing Gu Chengyu looking at him, Lu's eyes were a little dodgeful, which made Gu Chengyu even more suspicious.
After hearing what Father Gu said, Mrs. Lu quickly shouted, "Why do you mean I'm making a fuss? My son is planning to marry me, but I, as a mother, can't make the decision. How can I say a few words?"
Seeing that Mr. Lu was angry, Mr. Gu quickly said: "Didn't I remind you? I'm just afraid that you will cause trouble to Bao!"
"Baby! When will we go to her house to propose marriage? Will the matchmaker who proposes marriage to Brother Fang be in trouble? Haven't you heard that there are some official matchmakers? Do we have to find someone like this?"
Seeing that Mrs. Lu was getting angry again, Father Gu immediately asked about his son's proposal of marriage.
At this point, Gu Chengyu felt a little embarrassed.
"Dad, we have to wait a little longer. When the imperial edict is issued, we will come up with a charter and then call the teacher to help organize it."
Proposing a marriage? The Duke's office didn't know about this at all. Ke was still waiting to become Prince Jing's mother-in-law! Who would have thought that he would intercept her.
He could predict that even if there was an imperial edict, when his family and the Duke's government discussed their marriage, the Duke's government would not have a good attitude towards them.
When the time comes, there is no doubt that his parents will have to suffer some grievances. Gu Chengyu thought this and felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"Well, your teacher is a scholar and has been an official. He must know these etiquette better than us. Although our Gu family used to be farmers, they are not what they used to be. We should set up these rules to avoid making people laugh.
We can’t clean the muddy legs at home.”
Thinking of those aristocratic families, Father Gu actually felt a little guilty. They were aristocratic families with roots in the imperial city, and some of them had been passed down for more than a hundred years. Their rules and demeanor were not comparable to those of farmers who came from the countryside.
He heard that the rules of these aristocratic families were very strict, and he was afraid that if he broke the rules, he would be looked down upon by others and lose his face.
"Let's wait until the imperial edict comes down to discuss this!" Gu Chengyu was thinking about whether to remind his parents, lest they be angered by the people of the Duke's Mansion.
But then he thought, if he said it now, his parents would definitely be even more dissatisfied.
Originally, his mother was not very happy with Miss Yao. If she said that the Government of the Republic of China did not agree, her mother would definitely be furious.
But if you don’t tell her, wouldn’t you be caught off guard when you come to propose marriage in the future?
Besides, there have been some rumors in the capital recently. It was Mr. Ke who revealed that he was going to marry Prince Jing. If his mother heard about it, it would be really troublesome.
He didn't think that his mother didn't understand the outside world without leaving home. After all, he didn't know where his mother heard those things just now.
After thinking about it, Gu Chengyu thought it would be better to say a few words.
"The Duke of Zhenguo doesn't know about my marriage to Miss Yao yet, so it's not suitable to come to propose marriage for the time being. But once there is an imperial edict, even if they want to object, it's impossible. So this matter is considered a done deal, and we should prepare.
, we still have to prepare in advance."
Gu Chengyu felt a little uncomfortable when he said this. When he said preparation, he actually meant preparing to deliver the order.
Because Yao Mengxian is only thirteen years old this year, and has two years left to grow hair. And he is only fourteen years old, which is a bit too old.
So in modern terms, it means first getting engaged and becoming an unmarried couple.
As for the date of getting married, it will naturally have to wait until after Yao Mengxian gets married, otherwise the two of them will not be able to consummate their marriage.
However, it is not uncommon for women in ancient times to consummate their marriages before they had haircuts. However, this was very harmful to the woman's body and would also hinder the birth of children in the future.
She originally got married at the age of fifteen, but she is already very old, and her body bones have not yet grown.
Gu Chengyu still didn't understand that a man would attack a girl who was not even fifteen years old. He didn't know what kind of abnormal psychology he had.
Of course, there will also be special circumstances, such as weddings, heirs, etc.
Generally speaking, parents who feel sorry for a girl will not agree to do this, otherwise the girl may not live long, and she may die if she gives birth to a child in the future.
After all, women in ancient times were literally on the verge of death when they gave birth to a baby. If they suffered from postpartum hemorrhage or an abnormal fetal position, it would be a narrow escape.
"What? You said that girl's family doesn't know yet? Didn't your teacher tell that girl's family before? Then why should he decide on his granddaughter's marriage? It's simply ridiculous."
Father Gu was so angry that he threw his cigarette stick on the table. He didn't expect Bao's teacher to be so unreliable sometimes.
This is a major matter of marriage, how can it be treated as a child's play?
This time, Mrs. Lu didn't care that her father was so excited. Her eyes narrowed slightly, "Could it be that the girl's elders don't agree with it either?"
"Have you heard? There is an imperial edict from our house to confer marriage today!"
A girl wearing a pink robe held a tray and said with a smile to the girl walking aside.
"Where did you hear that? I didn't expect you to be better informed than me!"
