Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1083 The Wedding
Today is Gu Yichen's wedding day, and the weather is fine with clear skies.

The general's mansion was decorated with new decorations, and everyone from the master to the servants was in high spirits. The Lin family got up early, packed up, and came to the general's mansion.

The old lady brought Qi Momo, Agate, Amber, and a few skillful maids with her.

Lin Jinyan not only brought Bai Zhi and the other two, but also Gu Momo, Zhou Momo, and several capable housekeepers from the outer courtyard.

Bai Yiran took one look and knew that this was someone who came to help, so he thanked him happily and accepted the gift. He then asked Qiu Rong to take Lin Jiaxia away to arrange some work for him.

Taking into account Lin Wanrong's weak personality, she was originally arranged to go to the backyard to talk to the old lady, but Lin Wanrong acted contrary to her usual behavior and took the initiative to ask Lin Jinyan to help entertain the guests.

Bai Yiran was pleased to see this, and joked to the old lady that the child had grown up.

After sending the old lady to the backyard and settling her down, Lin Jinyan tilted her head and looked at Lin Wanrong beside her. She felt that this usually timid cousin seemed a little different:

"Aren't you afraid anymore?"

Lin Wanrong, who was always one step behind, stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lin Jinyan, with a barely perceptible firmness in her smile:
"It seems that I am not that scared anymore."

As the sun rose higher, the general's mansion became increasingly bustling with dignitaries. Lin Jinan, who was standing at the gate with Gu Ruizhou to welcome the guests, glanced at the endless line of carriages and immediately ordered Lin Shun to take people to help.

Gu Yichen listened to the guests' congratulations and smiled so hard that his face turned sour. Seeing that it was still early, Lin Siyuan advised Gu Yichen to sit down and rest for a while. However, Gu Yichen was so excited that he was afraid that his wedding dress would get wrinkled, so he refused to sit down.

When he heard the time for the wedding, he checked his clothes, got on his horse amid the congratulations of the crowd, and led the wedding procession to pick up the bride who had been waiting for a long time, beating gongs and drums. Bai Yiran, who had always disliked socializing, was surrounded by a group of officials and their wives today to congratulate him, and he was not unhappy at all, and laughed and joked with the officials and their wives with a smile on his face.

Taking advantage of the festive atmosphere, many people asked about the marriage between Gu Ruizhou and the two siblings of the Lin family.

Bai Yiran was vague about Gu Ruizhou and Lin Jinyan, saying only that one wanted to defend his country and the other wanted to stay for two more years. As for Lin Jinan, she sighed:
"As for An'er's marriage, Taifu and my brother-in-law have already met someone for her before the Lunar New Year. The two children are also compatible with each other, and their horoscopes have been compared. They are a perfect match, and the good news will be announced soon."

As for the candidate, no matter how Bai Yiran was asked, she refused to reveal it on the grounds that Lin Yanqing did not like publicity.

Since they couldn't get any information from here, someone with ulterior motives thought of asking the old lady. While Bai Yiran was busy, they were about to go and find out what she was saying. However, they saw the old lady holding Wang Huizhao, the daughter of Minister Wang of the Ministry of Rites, and joking with her with a loving look on her face. Wang Huizhao looked shy and well-behaved.

Looking at this scene, how can one not understand?

Some officials and their families realized it later and whispered:

"My youngest son told me before the Spring Examination that he saw Minister Wang's son-in-law taking the number one scholar to see operas several times. Now that I think about it, the two families must have matched their horoscopes at that time, and the two brothers-in-law made an appointment to see operas together."

"Minister Wang's family is upright and has had a long-standing personal relationship with the Lin family. If you have such an intention, why do you keep it secret?"

"They only told the public after they got engaged. Some time ago, the Lin family was slandered, and the incident happened not long ago. They probably kept silent because they didn't want to implicate their in-laws. They will tell the public when the rumors are completely calmed down. Didn't you hear what the general's wife said? It won't take long."

"So, the number one scholar and the princess both decided on their respective marriages long ago. It was indeed the Qi family who spread the rumor. I heard that Mrs. Qi had a stroke and was bedridden due to misfortunes in the Qi family. This is retribution."
