Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 406 The marriage has been decided
It was Jiang Wanning's first official visit to meet her mother-in-law, so she couldn't go empty-handed, so she went to Sanxitang to prepare two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin, two boxes of cordyceps, two 60-year-old ginseng, two Tianshan snow lotus, two kilograms of blood swallows, and another Went to Ruijin Store and chose a pair of elegant and elegant emerald noodles, two boxes of assorted velvet flowers, and thoughtfully selected a pair of fine warm jade bracelets for Bao Qin.

According to Xing Feng, Bao Qin often said good things about herself in front of Gu Lin.

Gu Zhou stopped to see that she had taken so many things and even said, "Enough is enough."

He didn't give his father-in-law anything.

Jiang Wan Ning finally gave up. It was indeed enough. If he did more, he would be suspected of demonstrating.

Mrs. Gu Lin couldn't explain what was going on. Maybe she heard Zhou Ting talk about the fate of Jiang Wanning and the Shangguan family, and she also had a different feeling towards Jiang Wanning. Maybe there was God's will in the dark, and she just had this feeling in her heart. The grudge against her also disappeared unconsciously, and she even felt a little more cordial.

When he saw Jiang Wan Ning, he took her hand and asked her to sit next to him: "You guys had a hard time going out on errands. Zhou Ting lost a lot of weight, and so did you. Fortunately, you all came back safely."

"I'm sorry to have worried my aunt. If the boat hadn't stopped this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to return safely."

"The worry is true. He left in a hurry without saying hello to me. I don't know the specific situation. I couldn't get any useful information from the palace. I can only burn incense at home every day. Worship to Buddha." As he said this, Gu Lin glared at his son dissatisfied.

Gu Zhouting knew that he was in the wrong. When he got the news, he was so anxious that he just wanted to rush to Gubei as soon as possible. How could he dare to tell his mother? If he did, he was afraid that her mother would not let him go out.

"However, if he brings you back safely, I won't blame him. Otherwise, if he comes back, I won't let him enter the house."

Gu Lin changed the subject.

Gu Zhouting: Uh...Mom, you change your attitude too quickly.

Jiang Wanning smiled awkwardly. Gu Zhouting said that his mother did not object to their affairs, but he did not say that his mother valued her so much. They were mostly polite words.

Gu Lin looked at her son: "Don't stay here. Your two uncles will arrive in the capital today. You should hurry up and make preparations."

Gu Zhouting was surprised: "Uncle is coming?"

"I sent a letter to your uncle before. Your father is no longer here. Now that you want to get married, it is natural for your two uncles to make the decision. They replied to the letter and will arrive today."

Gu Lin said this because she wanted to send a message. She started preparing for their marriage before the emperor granted them a marriage. She did not start preparations because of the marriage, which meant that she really accepted Jiang Wanning.

Gu Zhou stopped and looked at Jiang Wan Ning. Jiang Wan Ning nodded and told him to go about his business without worries.

Gu Zhouting then said happily: "My son will send someone to pick up the two uncles right now."

Mrs. Gu Lin finally understood that her son was henpecked.

After Gu Zhou stopped and left, Mrs. Gu Lin said, "Wan Ning, my aunt didn't know you before and had some misunderstandings about you..."

Jiang Wanning interrupted her: "Parents love their son for their long-term plans. Auntie only has a son like Zhou Ding. She should be more cautious about marriage matters. What's wrong? Last time at Princess Changping's Mansion, auntie didn't even recognize Wan. Ning came to Wan Ning's rescue. It can be seen that my aunt has a warm-hearted heart and cannot tolerate sand in her eyes. Some bad things happened before and caused a lot of noise. People talked about gold and lost bones. Auntie also wanted to stop the boat. Why? Wan Ning understands that I am wrong. In fact, I have always felt that I am not worthy of Zhou Ting!" Gu Lin was moved: "Wan Ning, no wonder Zhou Ting likes you so much. You are so considerate. It's really difficult. You don't like me. Don't say anything about whether you are worthy or not in the future. You two are destined in your past life. Our Gu family is small. I have always wanted to have a daughter. If you marry me, I will have an extra daughter. I couldn’t be happier.”

Jiang Wan Ning said: "Wan Ning has lost his mother since he was a child. Every time he talks about your love for him, Wan Ning becomes envious. In the future, Wan Ning will also have a mother."

Mrs. Gu Lin couldn't help but feel affection in her heart. She thought about how blind she was before, yet she still pushed aside such a good daughter-in-law.

"You will be my daughter-in-law from now on."

As she spoke, Gu Lin took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Jiang Wan Ning.

"This was given to me by my mother-in-law when I got married. She said it was a gift from the Queen Mother and has been passed down for three generations."

"Aunt, this is too expensive."

"You are the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, this is yours."

Gu Zhouting picked up the two uncles. When he turned around, he saw his mother and Wan Ning talking and laughing, as close as a mother and daughter. Come on, it was useless to worry, so he said that there was no one Wan Ning could not deal with.

On the same day, two uncles came to the door on behalf of the Gu family to discuss the marriage with the Jiang family.

We chose the eighth day of the lunar month to get engaged, and the wedding was scheduled for March 3rd.

The Jiang family is in a happy mood, and there will be many good things in the coming spring. February 2nd is the wedding of Jiang Shi and Lin Ruoruo, and March 3rd is Wan Ning’s wedding. Jiang Maochun has decided to stay in the capital, and now the Jiang family has become one of the royal merchants. The center of business focus should also shift from Ningchuan to the capital.

With her marriage settled, Jiang Wanning began to worry about Zhaoyang's marriage. Among the list of people who came to propose marriage, Jiang Wanning saw Yang Ting's name. She was not in a hurry to make a conclusion and made an appointment with Yang Ting to visit her home. , called Zhaoyang again, and the two looked at each other right when they met.

Afterwards, Jiang Wanning asked Zhaoyang what he meant, and Zhaoyang nodded shyly. He thought Yang Ting was good, lively, cute, and not pretentious.

Therefore, Jiang Wanning and Gu Zhouting came forward to respond to the Yang family, and the marriage between the two families was quickly settled.

As for Song Heng's marriage, Jiang Wanning also gave suggestions and chose the third wife who was a concubine of the great scholar Chen. Song Heng served in the Hanlin Academy, and having the care of Bachelor Chen was helpful to his career. Jiang Wanning learned through Shang Yu that although Mrs. Chen Sanniang was a concubine, she was dignified in appearance, gentle in temperament, and not a troublesome person. As a person, considering Aunt Wei's background, if her daughter-in-law is too strong, Aunt Wei will definitely not be able to control her, and conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are inevitable. It is better to marry a concubine with a good temper, so that the family can live in harmony.

Jiang Wanning saw that Wu Niang had changed her gender and took good care of Aunt Wei, helping with housework and keeping her own rules. She heard that the Cao family who had previously broken off the engagement seemed to be interested in renewing the engagement.

Jiang Wanning asked Wuniang what she meant, and Wuniang shook her head: "I don't want to get married anymore. I will stay with Aunt Wei for the rest of my life."

Jiang Wanning knew that Wu Niang had low self-esteem and felt that she was not worthy of remarrying.

She did not force a peace agreement. In fact, the Cao family was not a good match. Academician Cao was a supporter of the former crown prince. After Xiao Wang fell, the Cao family would inevitably be implicated. The Cao family today is not as good as before. Wu Niang, not only because of the relationship between Song Heng and her, but mainly because of Gu Zhouting. So it’s okay not to mention this kind of marriage with ulterior motives.

She asked Wu Niang to work in her Xiangyufang. After all, Aunt Liu was old, and she also wanted to use this to help Wu Niang get out of the shadow brought by the Song family.
