Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 349: After the wedding, all parties support

At this time, Sheng family.

Gu Tingye and Minglan stood in front of Sheng Hong and Wei Shuyi.

Logically speaking, in an occasion like today, the person sitting with Sheng Hong should be Wang Ruofu.

However, Wei Shuyi had an imperial edict, and Wei Yuan asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to rack their brains to come up with an explanation.

Therefore, Wei Shuyi can appear here as a mother.

Wei Yuan and Zhang Guifen sat on one side, each holding Zhuang Ge'er and Jing Jie'er.

The two children kept asking questions while serving tea to Sheng Hong and Wei Shuyi.

"After Sister Minglan gets married, can she still come to our house to play with me?"

"Sister Minglan is so beautiful, the Ningyuan Marquis is really not worthy of my sister."

"."

The last sentence came from Zhuang Ge'er, and he was just joking.

Zhang Guifen quickly covered his mouth, fearing that he would continue talking.

Zhuang Ge'er explained hesitantly:
"Mother, please let me go. I mean, Marquis Ningyuan's appearance is not worthy of my sister Minglan, um—"

Gu Tingye seemed to have heard what Zhuang Ge'er said, and thought to himself: "I must teach this kid a lesson when I teach him martial arts next time."

After serving tea, the newlyweds are about to leave the hall.

Old Mrs. Sheng, who was sitting opposite Wei Yuan and his wife, had her face washed with tears.

When Minglan saw this, she felt a little sad. She stood in front of the old lady and said softly, "Grandma, I will definitely come to see you often tomorrow."

The old lady nodded and held Minglan's hand, "Ming girl, you must be fine, be fine!"

As he spoke, he forced the bracelet on his wrist onto Minglan.

Gradually, Minglan also shed tears. He and Gu Tingye kowtowed several times to Old Lady Sheng.

When others saw this, they didn't think anything of it. Instead, they praised Minglan for her filial piety in their hearts.

Later, Minglan and Gu Tingye turned around and looked at Wei Yuan and his wife.

Minglan knelt first, and Wei Yuan hurriedly tried to help her up, but saw Wei Shuyi, who was crying and smiling, speaking:

"Little brother, you will have to accept this kneeling tomorrow!"

In this way, Wei Yuan no longer forced anything.

When Minglan knelt, Gu Tingye also knelt down.

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "What are you doing? Get up quickly, don't miss the auspicious time."

Minglan said, "Uncle has been very kind to Ming'er, so he deserves Ming'er's respect."

Having said that, he began to kowtow.

Gu Tingye said, "If it weren't for the Marquis, if it weren't for my uncle, how could I have married such a bride? For this, my uncle and aunt should also accept my greetings."

Wei Yuan hurriedly helped the two of them up, "Girl, hurry up and get up. If others see you, you will laugh at me."

When Chen Daniu heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at the people around him fiercely.

"Who dares to laugh at my eldest brother?"

Wei Yuan was speechless. Why are there such guys everywhere?

Qin Jianjia stood beside Da Niu and pinched him secretly.

Chen Daniu hissed, "Why are you pinching me?"

After these words were spoken, no one started to "laugh at" Wei Yuan and the others, but everyone started to laugh at Chen Daniu.

With this guy adding to the atmosphere, the place feels a little less sad.

Wei Yuan stood up and helped them up, then he took Minglan's hand to Gu Tingye's and said earnestly:

"I only have this one niece. From now on, I'll leave her to you."

"I hope you two will leave. Let's go. Don't miss the auspicious time."

Afterwards, Minglan and Gu Tingye left the main hall under everyone's attention.

When Wei Yuan went to comfort Wei Shuyi, who was almost in tears, wasn't he also comforting himself?

He looked at Zhang Guifen and said, "Go and see Ming off."

Zhang Guifen nodded and went to see him off.

When Xu Changzhi and others left, Wei Yuan deliberately gave them a wink.

They know it all.

They knew exactly what the current situation was in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.

Wei Yuan and his wife were guests of the Sheng family. According to etiquette, they should not go to Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion again.

Therefore, the task of boosting Minglan's reputation naturally fell on the shoulders of the new nobles in Daizhou.

Some people say that when a nobleman marries his daughter, what he is actually marrying is not his daughter, but his reputation, the nobleman's inner self and face.

If a nobleman marries off his daughter when she is penniless, it would not only bring shame to his family, but also to the entire noble family of the founding of the country.

According to this logic, Wei Yuan marrying his niece is actually equivalent to a new noble in Daizhou marrying his daughter.

Minglan's marriage to the old noble family of Ningyuan Marquis can be seen as an alliance between the new and old nobles, and an important factor in consolidating the harmony between the two factions.

Therefore, after careful consideration by Zhang Guifen, Minglan could only marry Gu Tingye. After all, the Duke of Qi's family had indulged in depravity and abandoned military affairs to pursue literature, which was no longer considered a military achievement.

Whether Wei Yuancheng admits it or not, what happened between Minglan and Gu Tingye is politically motivated, and this is inevitable.

Since it is a marriage between the new nobles of Daizhou and the old nobles of the founding of the country, for Xu Changzhi and others, Minglan is their face and heart.

If Minglan was bullied, she would be at odds with the entire upstarts in Daizhou.

Speaking of which, Xu Changzhi's identity is somewhat special. He is a descendant of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, and now he is the Marquis of Weibei.

Having two marquises in one family is a great honor.

In the final analysis, Xu Changzhi no longer needs to inherit the title of Marquis Yongyi. What he represents is actually the interests of the new nobles in Daizhou.

At Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

As the dowager lady of the marquis's mansion, Xiao Qin is Gu Tingye's mother according to etiquette and law.

Because of the existence of Gu Tingye's brother, the sickly Gu Tingyu, who secretly teamed up with the Dowager and often made things difficult for Gu Tingye, several houses in the entire Marquis' Mansion were somewhat neglectful or rude to Gu Tingye.

This is still true even if Gu Tingye has become a marquis.

Look, the ladies from other rooms are instigating Xiao Qinshi to make sure that the new bride Minglan is in trouble.

"This Minglan, relying on being the niece of the Marquis of Guanjun, acts in a high-profile manner and has a reputation for being rude. She came to our Marquis's mansion and must be going against us. We should have made plans in advance."

"Yes, no matter whose niece Minglan is, as long as she marries into our Gu family, she will be a woman of our Gu family and must obey our Gu family's rules!"

"That's right. If I don't give her a warning today, I'm afraid she will become even more unruly after marrying into our Gu family."

"."

If other people's families welcome a new bride, they will definitely be filled with joy.

Only the style of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is different. Between the lines, everyone is thinking about how to find fault with Minglan.

However, Xiao Qin knew exactly what they were thinking. They were thinking that if I make things difficult for Minglan today, Minglan would think of ways to go against me tomorrow. Then, you guys would have nothing to do.

Then, Xiao Qin said to Gu Tingye's uncles and aunts:

"There's no rush for this. Today is a happy day. Let's wait."

She actually didn't want to go against Minglan, but against Gu Tingye.

Ningyuan Marquisate, just a title.

Gu Tingye is not her biological son, so she naturally wanted to get rid of Gu Tingye and let her son take his place.

In fact, such dirty things were inevitable in the homes of those founding heroes. If they were not careful, they would be found guilty by the government and their entire family would be demoted to commoners and their titles would be revoked.

But even so, what should be fought for still needs to be fought for. While they were talking, a servant came to report that the bride was about to arrive.

Naturally, Xiao Qinshi, as the mother, did not need to go to welcome her in person. If she went in person, her intention to embarrass Minglan would be too obvious.

However, Gu Tingye's aunts couldn't stand the loneliness and wanted to see what the legendary niece of the Marquis of Guanjun looked like.

Once the newlyweds entered the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, their wedding ceremony officially began.

When Gu Tingye looked up and saw his aunts standing outside the hall, he instantly felt something was wrong.

They wouldn't do anything weird on such a happy day, would they?
The foolish lady from the second house actually had this intention. She looked at the new bride Minglan and was about to say a few words.

Suddenly, the wives of the new rich group in Daizhou were all present.

They stood on both sides of the newlyweds, pushing the wives of the Gu family aside, and spoke one after another:

"Minglan is so beautiful today."

"Gu Tingye, you have to treat my sister Minglan better, otherwise I won't forgive you!"

"That's right, we won't forgive you!"

"."

The people who came included Xu Changzhi’s wife, Princess Chai;
Chen Daniu's wife, Qin Jianjia, the legitimate daughter of the Qin family and now the Lady of Luzhou County;

Liang Da's wife, Zhong Ling, the younger sister of Zhong Yan, the commander of the Western Camp;

Xie Wu's wife was the youngest daughter of the King of Wu;
Even Lin Zhaoyuan's wife now has an imperial decree.

When these ladies stand together, the power embodied behind them can be described as all-powerful!
With them supporting Minglan, who would dare to cause trouble?
In addition to these people, even Rong Feiyan and others came.

When Rong Feiyan got married, Minglan gave her face, so naturally she had to give Minglan face as well.

If it is said that these young people cannot suppress the lady in the marquis's mansion.

Then, when the wives of several veteran nobles including the Duke of Fuguo, the Duke of Hanguo, the Duke of Caoguo, and the Duke of Anguo came out together to congratulate Minglan, Xiao Qinshi already knew that the niece of the Marquis of Guanjun was not someone she could mess with.

However, she was unwilling to give in.

Why can't Wei Yuan value his own son?
They are both sons of the old Marquis Gu Yankai, why does Wei Yuan favor one over the other?
If Minglan's uncle was just a nobleman, such as the former "Loyal and Brave Earl", rather than today's Champion Marquis.

Xiao Qinshi has nothing to be afraid of, she will fight when she needs to.

Unfortunately, Wei Yuan now holds the position of Grand Tutor, and no one in the court dares to go against him.

For example, the former Wang family, Kang family, Yongping Marquis’ Mansion, etc., which one of them did not fall into Wei Yuan’s hands?
Xiao Qin is not a fool. She knows that the situation is hopeless and she can only take things step by step in the future.

After all, these tricks of hers were no match for Wei Yuan, who had experienced many battles and was accustomed to the factional struggles in the court.

The plan that Wei Yuan and Wang Anshi had jointly set up was impeccable. She knew something about this.

Therefore, she also felt a little terrified about Wei Yuan's political wisdom.

With those people backing Minglan up, Xiao Qinshi and others naturally wouldn't dare to do anything naughty.

The wedding was considered to be quite successful.

That night.

Gu Tingye pretended to be drunk and came into the bridal chamber.

At this time, Minglan was still a little restrained, and the phoenix crown on her head left an imprint on her forehead.

Gu Tingye sat beside her, took off the phoenix crown for her personally, held her delicate hand, and said:

“Why didn’t you take it off earlier?”

Minglan lowered her head and said, "How can a new bride take off such a thing?"

Gu Tingye said: "Your uncle and I both come from the military, so we don't have so many rules."

Minglan asked, "Can you see that my aunt has no rules?"

Gu Tingye shook his head and instantly understood what she meant.

"You've seen today that the lady in our house and my uncles and aunts are not good people."

"If it weren't for the wives of Lord Xu and the old ladies backing you up, I'm afraid you would have been in trouble."

After a pause, Gu Tingye continued, "But you don't have to worry. In two days, we will move out of the mansion and I will ask the government for permission."

Hearing this, Minglan covered her mouth and smiled, "How can there be such a rule for a marquis like you to move out of the mansion?"

Gu Tingye squatted in front of Minglan, holding her little hand tightly, looking into her eyes, and said:

"As long as it makes you happy, even if it's the Marquisate, it doesn't matter."

Minglan glared at him, "Stop talking nonsense, this is a marquis!"

"You know how much hardship my uncle went through to become a marquis."

"I have never heard of any prince in the world giving up his title of marquis."

Gu Tingye laughed and said, "How can I be considered a prince? My uncle is the prince."

"My lady, it's late at night, let's not talk about this anymore."

Just as she finished speaking, she heard Minglan's stomach growling again.

Late at night, the newlyweds chose to "escape" and went to Fanlou to eat.

Coincidentally, Wei Yuan, Chen Daniu and others were also there.

After Minglan's wedding, Chen Daniu and others completed their mission.

They were not used to drinking with those veteran nobles in the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, and Wei Yuan was not there, so they simply went to Fanlou to drink together.

We have been eating since afternoon until now, and the dishes have been reheated several times.

Now, they were already drunk.

Princess Chai, Zhang Guifen and others were in the private room next door, quietly waiting for them.

In Fanlou.

After using the toilet, Wei Yuan was about to return to the private room where he had been drinking.

Suddenly, Gu Tingye came towards them holding Minglan's hand.

Wei Yuan looked at them, and they also looked at Wei Yuan.

There was a little awkwardness between the uncle and nephew for a moment.

Minglan was about to say, "Uncle"

Before he could finish his words, Wei Yuan burped, shook his head and went to drink.
"I must have drunk too much, I actually saw Ming girl"

Obviously, he didn't want to disturb their world of two.

It was the first time that Minglan saw such a lovely Wei Yuan. She couldn't help but smiled and said:
"I didn't expect my uncle had this side."

Gu Tingye looked at Wei Yuan's back and said, "Uncle is also very happy. After all, today you are getting married and I am getting married."

Minglan said unhappily, "What does it have to do with you?"

Gu Tingye said, "How are you going to get married without me?"

Gu Tingye and Minglan tossed and turned until late at night.

So-called fussing, but in fact it was only once, and most of the rest of the time, the two of them were just chatting.

Originally, Minglan was going to get up early to offer tea to the lady Dowager Xiao Qin.

But Gu Tingye didn't care about this and just let Minglan wait.

And Xiao Qin was naturally waiting there as well.

Seeing that the sun was about to rise, Xiao Qin was furious.

"Sheng Minglan, isn't she the niece of Marquis Guanjun? How dare you bully me like this!"

"Which bride won't get up from bed at this hour? It's obvious that she wants to embarrass me!"
