Chapter 349: Wedding Day (Xiaoxiang Tickets Plus)
"Thank you for letting my sister-in-law take this trip."
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Aren't we all family? We have to join in the fun of such a happy event as the eighth sister's marriage. Just don't find the children annoying."
The wife of Sanlang brought not only four children from her own family, but also two from Erlang's family, so there are six children in total. These children were warned by Sanlang and Sanlang's wife before they came, so they naturally dared not do anything reckless.
Therefore, even if they are new to everything, they will not be too presumptuous. Seeing this, the sister-in-law Liu was kind enough to grab a handful of gold coins for each of them as lottery money, which stunned the children.
At the same time, it also scared the wife of Sanlang.
She has been in the Duke's Mansion for many years, and has never seen the sister-in-law be so generous, so she was also particularly surprised and immediately replied.
"What is the eldest sister-in-law doing? The children are still young and don't need it."
"Don't be polite to me, sister-in-law. Today is the great day of the eighth sister. She gave some money to her nephews and nieces. Just accept it."
Seeing this, Sanlang's wife didn't say much. She asked them to take their purses and put away the golden clothes. Then she was full of emotion in her heart.
As expected, people still need to be raised in wealth. The eldest sister-in-law who was timid in the past has become so arrogant now. How could it not be the credit of the general's mansion? If there is a chance, she also wants to feel the good wind and water of the general's mansion.
It's a pity that she didn't dare to say anything beyond the rules, for fear of causing any trouble and ruining the situation that their third room had finally achieved. Therefore, she was really serious.
With the same attitude as her, Shang Sanlang was also very proud to accompany Gu Shaoyu to entertain guests in front!
Many people originally thought that he was transparent, but now that they can stand beside Gu Shaoyu, they naturally smile more and drink more wine.
Shang Sanlang is also quite sensible. He never relies on the power of the general's mansion to put on airs outside. He is always friendly to others, so his reputation is not bad.
The two cousins entertained guests in the front hall, and other people from the third and fifth rooms came one after another. Then, the fourth aunt's family, who rarely contacted them on weekdays, also showed up.
They were all honest farmers, so when they saw these nobles, they were a little restrained in their eyes and bodies, but the fourth aunt and the fourth uncle did not think that the wealth was dazzling, but thought that it was better to get as little as possible.
So, after simply greeting Gu Shaoyu and Shang Sanlang, they went to the third old master and called him quite cordially.
"Third brother."
The relationship between the fourth aunt and the third old master is quite good, and they have been like this since they were young, so when the fourth sister and her family came over, the third old master was also happy from the bottom of his heart, at least they didn't have to be embarrassed.
Otherwise, the people in this room are all powerful and noble families. When they stayed in the Duke's Mansion before, they knew many of them, but now, even if he brought a glass of wine over, they might not be willing to clink glasses.
So, he talked to his fourth sister enthusiastically.
"If you ask me, you and your sister-in-law might as well live in our country farm. As soon as you push the door, you will see the fields and forests. You will feel much more comfortable just looking at it. At our age, what do we have to fight for? Why not let the children feel more at ease?"
After saying that, he glanced at Shang Sanlang in the distance, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Although the fourth aunt had never interfered with the relationship between Gu Shaoyu and Shang Jia, she knew what she should know, so it was already a great honor for her to promote Shang Sanlang to her side.
Therefore, if they want to live a good life in the future, they should be more disciplined, for example, stay away from the children to avoid more delays.
The third old master has long lost the glory he had in the Duke's Mansion. At this moment, he has shown that he is in his twilight years. It is unclear how many days he can live, so the words of the fourth sister are indeed tempting to him.
Seeing this, the third old master nodded and said with some seriousness.
"Let me think about it. If I really want to go, I'll tell you. Is your house big enough?"
"Third brother, do you look down on people? There is no rich house like the one in the general's mansion, but there is a large area to shelter from the wind and rain."
When the fourth aunt said this, her eyes revealed a sense of satisfaction with wealth, which made the third old master a little stunned. From time to time, he thought of the affection when he grew up with his brothers and sisters when he was young, and he felt quite sentimental for a while.
But for a person like him, no one would care about his sentimentality.
After all, the Gu family was busy finding the Guo family who had come to welcome the bride.
Speaking of Guo Silang's wedding, it was really the most lively one in Sui'an City since the Lantern Festival. The prince condescended to accompany him and came to welcome the bride, so it gave Guo Silang and Xue Niang supreme honor.
The people in the Gu family courtyard were excited to see the new son-in-law and the prince. Fortunately, housekeeper He and nanny Dou were good at controlling their subordinates. Therefore, the servants in the general's mansion were very considerate and served them well despite their excitement.
Today, Xue Niang got married, but no one from the Duke's Mansion came.
Gu Shaoyu thought that their father would come to join in and talk, but he didn't say a word.
So, when the newlyweds offered tea, they offered it to Gu Shaoyu and his eldest sister-in-law Liu.
One of them is the eldest sister-in-law who has raised her since she was a child, and the other is related by blood and will be the pillar of her family in the future, so it is only natural to serve tea to them.
No one present had any objections, but after the noise outside started and Xue Niang was sent to the bridal sedan, the prince smiled and whispered in Gu Shaoyu's ear.
"Your father is probably not doing well. The imperial doctors in the palace have been there two or three times, and they all said that he is paralyzed and bedridden, and there is no way to save him. If he is taken care of carefully, he can live for three to five years. If not... I'm afraid it will only be one or two years."
Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu raised his eyebrows. Since he left Sui'an City, he has not continued to send people to inquire about the news of the Duke's Mansion, so this is the first time he has heard of what the prince mentioned today.
"Did he have a stroke?"
"Yes, it happened in the first month of the year. I heard that he was angry, but I don't know what it was. If you want to know, you'd better go and take a look. The Duke is gone, and everyone in your family has to follow him to observe mourning and resign."
