The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Zheng looked at Gu Yan opposite with a slightly gloomy expression. Was she implying that no one had come to propose marriage to her Chu sister?

Gu Jinchu held his mother's hand and said softly, "Since the fourth and fifth sisters are answering on behalf of the elders, I don't have to worry about being rude when I say this."

"When I came back from Baodi, my grandmother repeatedly told my mother to be careful when looking for a husband for me. After all, my dowry is not cheap, so I need to find a good husband..."

Speaking of dowry, the most generous dowry that these people in the main room had ever seen was when Zheng married into the Gu family.

The Zheng family has become much richer and more prosperous in recent years than it was a decade ago. She heard that Gu Jinchu was very much loved in the Zheng family. Although her words were a bit arrogant, judging from her daily clothes and jewelry, her dowry in the future would surely be even more than her mother's.

Even though she is so beautiful, she won't have trouble finding a husband.

On the contrary, Gu Yan, who had just mocked her elder sister with words...

Mrs. Gu Li always said that this granddaughter grew up by her side and was very well-educated and well-mannered, but today it seems that she is just like that.

Gu Yan didn’t know why everyone’s eyes on her suddenly changed.

Did she say anything wrong?

The third sister is the eldest sister, and no one has proposed marriage to her. She was not lying nor was she slandering her.

Outsiders can't stand her arrogance and domineering behavior. Who would be a decent daughter and whip others at will?

Zhou knew that it was her daughter's talkativeness that caused the trouble. Ever since Gu Jinchu became smart, this Gu Yan began to take advantage of her sister Yu.

The moves that had always worked on Chu Jie'er in the past now worked on Yu Jie'er.

He looked at Aunt Lian and her daughter with a knife-like look in his eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aunt Lian, you are in charge of today's banquet, I wonder how the preparations are going?"

He was almost about to tell the mother and daughter to get out.

Gu Jinchu put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at his grandmother and great-aunt, and said with a smile:

"I remember my grandmother loved crab roe buns the most. She would always eat them several times during this season. My great-aunt would definitely like them too."

He glanced at Aunt Lian's stiff body and said casually:

"Before my cousin took part in the Spring Examination, my grandmother brought my mother and my aunt, and they discussed and prepared a few dishes with good meanings to send my cousin off."

"There are braised pork knuckle, sweet and sour carp, stewed goose wings, Cantonese-style porridge, fried chicken with bamboo shoots, braised sea prawns... Every dish is filled with the blessings and encouragement from my grandmother and my great aunt to my cousin."

Gu Zhang, who was sitting at the head of the group, patted her sister-in-law's hand and said, "My sister-in-law is so thoughtful."

Gu Li was relieved to hear this, but she still said modestly, "It's all for the good of the child..."

"You have passed the imperial examination, you have leapt over the dragon gate, you have spread your wings and are the top scorer in the imperial examination. You are confident and have great luck. This table of delicious food is really worthy of your name. Brother Hui has lived up to everyone's expectations!"

Once someone took the lead, everyone started to compliment Gu Li.

"The Madam is worthy of being the Madam. She thinks far ahead and thinks carefully. If outsiders knew about this, it would definitely become a good story."

"Brother Hui is so young, his future is limitless, and the blessing of the lady is in the future."

"The farewell banquet is so thoughtful and sumptuous, I wonder what we will eat today?"

This sentence was quickly drowned out by compliments, and Gu Jinchu couldn't help but laugh.

There were bursts of laughter and joy in Cuihua Courtyard, and the lady was immersed in the flattery and praise.

When Madam Luo and Madam Song came in to pay their respects, Gu Li was smiling so hard that the hairpins on her hair were almost blinding.

Zheng introduced the two ladies to everyone.

Mrs. Luo was taller, with thick eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and she was more free and easy than the ladies of aristocratic families. She was the wife of the Guard Command, and the girl standing next to her was her legitimate daughter Luo Waner.

The one with the gentle and generous smile was Mrs. Song, and the girl next to her was the same as her, speaking softly.

Gu Jinchu stood up before they entered the door. Luo Wan'er was the one who sponsored her coming-of-age ceremony in her previous life, and Song Fangya was the one who put the hairpin in her hair.

After they greeted their mother, she smiled and said, "Wan'er, Fang Ya." She went over and took their hands.

"Chu Jie'er..." Luo Wan'er looked her up and down, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Song Fangya stood there, somewhat avoiding Gu Jinchu's gaze, and lowered her eyes to look at the hands of the three people.

Gu Li looked at the beautiful girls in the room. The two were the daughters of officials. It was a rare opportunity for Sister Yu and Sister Yan to make friends. She smiled and instructed Gu Jinchu:

"Chu Jie'er, take the sisters out to play so that they won't be constrained by staying in the house. The two younger sisters will also come with you."

Gu Jinchu agreed with a smile, and did not forget to greet the elders, being perfect in his demeanor and etiquette.

Song Fangya refused with some embarrassment, "Chu Jie'er, I'm not feeling well today, so I can't accompany you."

Gu Jinchu didn't care, "Then I'll leave one of my maids to you, Bai Shao, whom Sister Song knows."

"If you feel uncomfortable or need anything, just tell her. Don't make it hard on yourself."

Song Fangya nodded, her face looked a little pale, and the smile she forced was very forced.

Zheng also walked out of Cuihua Courtyard with a few ladies. They were all relatives of Gu family. Everyone lived in different social classes. It was enough to greet each other and do their part.

The ladies were chatting and laughing, followed by their maids and servants, walking towards Moxiangju.

Gu Jinchu and Luo Waner walked hand in hand, while Gu Jinyu and Gu Yan followed behind them.

Gu Jinyu looked at Gu Jinchu's phoenix-tail skirt swaying in the wind, curled her lips and rolled her eyes. If someone didn't know, they would have thought that today was her wedding day.

Gu Jinchu seemed to sense her angry gaze and turned around suddenly.

One is envious and jealous, the other has too many fleeting emotions in his eyes.

The expressions of the two girls were frozen on their faces.

Gu Jinchu pointed in the direction of the bamboo forest, and a group of people surrounded Gu Jinhui.

There were young men in straight shirts, and young girls who were smiling and shy.

"Fifth sister, I don't know what my eldest cousin is talking about, it looks like it's quite lively."

Gu Jinyu thought she would have a quarrel with her third sister, so she stiffened her neck and said, "That's my dear brother, humph!"

After saying that, he pulled Gu Yan who was standing beside him, "Fourth sister, let's go!"

Luo Waner saw the backs of the two people and asked Song Fangya, "Chu Jie'er, what's going on between you and Fangya? Are you having a conflict?"

Gu Jinchu looked at the group of young people not far away, nodded and smiled, "Didn't Sister Song say that she was not feeling well?"

Song Fangya was present at both the Spring Tea Party and the Song Family Banquet, but she hid in the crowd and watched coldly as she was bullied.

No matter whether she felt guilty or something, Gu Jinchu didn't care.

Although it is rare to provide timely assistance, it is better than kicking someone when he is down.
