After Gu Jingxi returned, he asked the maid to prepare clothes, jewelry, and other necessary things for Meng Jinyao, and asked the maid to send them to Shou'an Hall instead of having someone come to pick them up when she got up tomorrow.

After the maid left, Gu Jingxi looked at the bedroom. Everywhere was familiar, but everything felt wrong.

This is probably the terrible thing about habits.

When you get used to a person's presence, if you don't see that person in a familiar environment, you will feel lonely, at a loss, and always feel that something is missing.

In the past, at this time, Ayao would be sitting in front of the dressing table, while the maid took off the jewelry from her head, prepared to wash herself, and then go to bed.

After Gu Jingxi glanced at the dressing table, he went to tell the maid to prepare water for washing.

Inside the clean room, smoke curled up.

Gu Jingxi usually didn't like having his servants waiting close by, so he did all the dressing, undressing, bathing and other matters himself.

Suddenly, Gu Jingxi heard movement behind him, his face suddenly darkened, and he asked coldly: "Who is there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Zhu's voice came: "Master Marquis, this servant is Xia Zhu. I forgot to put the clothes in for you just now. Now I will bring them to you."

Gu Jingxi said softly: "It won't happen next time. If you are so forgetful next time, you are not suitable to serve my wife."

Xia Zhu nodded quickly and responded: "Master Hou, please calm down. I promise that there will be no next time."

Gu Jingxi said again: "Put down your clothes and get out."

"Yes."

Xia Zhu responded, took a few steps forward, put down his clothes, and then stepped out.

After Gu Jingxi had bathed enough, he put on his clothes and left the clean room, then went back to his room to rest. However, there was no one around him, and he was not used to it, so he couldn't sleep.

In that compartment, Meng Jinyao slept soundly. After lying down, she fell asleep not long after.

Mrs. Gu had only taken two juniors to bed. The last time was when her son was young, and now she is her daughter-in-law. Seeing her daughter-in-law sleeping peacefully beside her, she really felt that she had raised a daughter.

After looking at her daughter-in-law for a long time, she tucked her in, and the next moment she saw her daughter-in-law moving towards her, holding her arms with both hands.

Mrs. Gu was surprised and soon understood. This subconscious behavior showed how well her son and daughter-in-law got along.

-

The next day, the second day of October.

Gu Jingxi woke up early in the morning, washed up, dressed neatly, and went to his old mother's place to have breakfast. Ayao was not here, so he didn't enjoy breakfast by himself.

Meng Jinyao and Mrs. Gu were preparing to have breakfast when they saw Gu Jingxi rushing over.

Mrs. Gu smiled and said: "Yao Ling, why are you here so early? Even if you are going to attend the wedding banquet, there is no need to be in such a hurry."

Gu Jingxi replied: "My son is afraid of missing the time for breakfast." After saying this, he glanced at Meng Jinyao with resentment in his eyes, like a resentful woman who had been abandoned by her husband.

Meng Jinyao slept well last night and felt refreshed now. Seeing him like this, she smiled at him.

Mrs. Gu saw their interaction in her eyes, and her smile became more loving: "Then sit down and eat together. When you finish eating, you have to go to the banquet."

Gu Jingxi responded, took a few steps forward, and then sat down.

The maid immediately brought him a pair of dishes and chopsticks.

After breakfast, Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi left Shou'an Hall together. Today was Meng Jinyu's wedding day. As sisters and brothers-in-law, they also had to go to the wedding banquet.

Mrs. Gu didn't go. She liked to be quiet as she got older and didn't like to attend banquets. When other families invited banquets, they always asked the younger members of the family to go. The only time she rarely went out was to go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Gu Jingxi asked: "How did Ayao sleep last night?"

Meng Jinyao replied with a smile: "Very good, I slept until dawn."

Gu Jingxi said, "My husband didn't sleep well." His tone was full of grievance, he stopped, looked at Meng Jinyao accusingly, and continued, "A Yao is really cruel, letting her husband stay alone in the empty room. "

Meng Jinyao chuckled: "Who told you to be dishonest?"

Gu Jingxi immediately admitted his mistake: "My husband knew he was wrong about what happened the night before yesterday."

Meng Jinyao snorted: "When did you say you knew your mistakes? But you have never corrected them. Now that you are a father, you always know your mistakes and don't correct them. You have set a bad example. Be careful that your children will become aware of their mistakes in the future. People who don’t change.”

Gu Jingxi said hurriedly: "Ayao, please calm down. My husband has really realized his mistake this time and will definitely be honest tonight."

Meng Jinyao was too lazy to argue with him anymore. When she returned to Wei Ruixuan, she asked her servants to prepare a carriage, then took the congratulatory gifts and headed to Yongchang Bo Mansion for the banquet.

When the second daughter got married, although the Meng family decorated it with lights and decorations, it was not as grand as when the eldest daughter got married. The Meng family, who knew the inside story, knew that it was because of a lack of money. Outsiders who didn't know the inside story thought it was because the second daughter's mother, Sun, was married. Because of this, the Meng family was disgusted with this daughter and no longer valued her.

Nowadays, the Meng family only invites close relatives and friends.

When Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi arrived, many guests were already present.

Gu Jingxi was chatting with other male guests in the front yard. Meng Jinyao exchanged greetings with Mrs. Dong and then went to the backyard to meet Meng Jinyu. As the eldest sister, she had to go to meet her soon-to-be-married sister and give her a congratulatory gift.

There were many guests today, so to avoid being bumped into accidentally, Chan'er and Qingqiu followed Meng Jinyao every step of the way, following her wherever she went.

Meng Jinyu had dressed up and was sitting quietly in her boudoir. She used to have many friends, but after the Sun incident, most of her former friends gradually moved away from her. Today she is getting married, and she is still married to a businessman. No one even came.

Not long ago, two close friends came here. The elders of their families were all friends with the Meng family. They came to have a wedding banquet with the elders, so they stopped by to see her and gave her a gift.

Qing'er came in and reported, "Second girl, the eldest girl is here."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyu's face darkened.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Meng Jinyao, who was elegantly dressed and walking with lotus steps. Originally, Meng Jinyao was already superior to others when she became a marquise. Now that Gu Jingxi's hidden illness is cured, they have a child and live a happy life. A happy life.

And what about her?

Her father, who was obsessed with money, married a businessman. She didn't want to marry and asked her grandmother to make the decision, but her grandmother said to her: "Ayu, if you want to blame it, it's because you have a mother like Sun. With someone like her, You are a mother of a poisonous woman, you were brought up by her, and your reputation has been ruined. No one is willing to marry you to a well-matched family, but there is someone with a good family background. The marriage they found for you earlier was good, but you were unwilling and disliked it. They are over forty years old.”

When she heard this, she felt ironic. The old man who was over forty years old and whose first wife died was older than her father. If she got married, she would immediately become a grandmother, grandmother, step-son and step-daughter. They are both older than her, so what hope can there be in such a marriage?

The so-called good marriage is just because the old man can help and support her father, that is a good marriage, and she does not care about her life at all.

Later, my grandmother said: "If someone from a lower family than ours has a poor family, wouldn't you have to suffer if you marry? Mr. Deng's family is a businessman and has a rich family. If you marry, you will live a life of fine clothing and fine food. What's wrong with that?" ? Just wait for your marriage with peace of mind, and live a good life with Master Deng from now on, and don't be willful."

This sounds nice. Don't think she doesn't know. This marriage is no different from paying the money and delivering the goods. She was sold to the Deng family just like goods.

The father received the benefits of the Deng family's money and silk. The Deng family married a legitimate daughter from a noble family and became a brother-in-law with the Marquis of Changxing. She was considered to be face-saving in public. This was much better than marrying a girl from a merchant family.

She married far away from Yangzhou and was not familiar with the place. Even if she was bullied, she had no place to go. She could only swallow her grievances in her stomach.
