After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 377 Thank you for your existence
The Gu family is holding a wedding banquet for their younger sister today. Most of the people who come here to drink are Gu Mingda’s colleagues and friends he knows in Beijing.

The sudden order from the Queen Mother caught everyone off guard.

A colleague reminded Gu Mingda: "Brother Gu, since it is the Queen Mother's decree, you should set up an incense table and be respectful."

Colleagues kindly reminded him, fearing that Gu Mingda had just become an official and had not yet received instructions from his superiors at home, so he was negligent.

The person who came to announce the decree was Li Shunfu. He winked at Niu Niu as soon as he entered the room. He had an imperial decree in his hand and was waiting leisurely for the Gu family to prepare everything.

Liu Xiaoru, whose vision had been blocked by the red veil, had no idea what was going on. She only heard that there was an imperial decree. The atmosphere around her made her feel very oppressive. She nervously pulled the other end of the red silk.

Shopkeeper Luo had been with her for a long time and understood her character. He immediately took two steps towards her. The two of them were standing side by side, their clothes stuck together, and they looked very intimate.

Shopkeeper Luo lowered his head and whispered in his new wife's ear: "Don't worry, the eunuch who delivered the decree looks very smiling, it doesn't seem like he's going to do anything bad."

Although Liu Xiaoru was relieved, she still asked, "If it's a bad thing, what will you do?"

Shopkeeper Luo said softly, "What else can we do? We are already connected by this red silk. In my heart, we have already completed the ceremony. You are my wife. Don't even think about breaking off the engagement because of other things. A husband and wife can overcome any difficulties when their hearts are together."

Liu Xiaoru felt a little sweet in her heart, but she said worriedly, "I just don't know what the Queen Mother's decree is for."

Shopkeeper Luo said, "My brother-in-law also said before that the Queen Mother loves Niuniu very much. She doesn't care about the monk's face but the Buddha's. Even if she is dissatisfied with us, she will take Niuniu's feelings into consideration. It's probably not a bad thing."

As the person who was most familiar with Li Shunfu in the audience, Niu Niu ran directly to Li Shunfu without anyone urging her.

"Uncle Steward, what decree did the Empress Dowager give?" Niuniu tugged at his sleeve and asked, looking up.

At this time, the other members of the Gu family were all looking at Li Shunfu eagerly, waiting for his answer.

Li Shunfu shook his head and said, "My dear, I can't say anything before the imperial decree is read out, but don't worry, it's not a bad thing anyway."

A group of people breathed a sigh of relief. Today was the big day of their younger sister's wedding. If something really happened, it would be bad.

After finally setting up the incense table, Li Shunfu held the Empress Dowager's edict in both hands, stood up, cleared his throat, and began to read the edict.

"However, Liu, the sister of your Hanlin Academy Scholar Gu Mingda, is outstanding in talent and chastity, and is in her prime. She is suitable to marry a good husband. I now grant her the right to marry Luo from Anzhou, and we will sign a promise to be together forever, and to establish a good relationship between our two families..."

Along with the imperial decree granting marriage came a generous reward from the Empress Dowager.

Coincidentally, this pile of marriage rewards all specifically stated that they were given to Liu Xiaoru as a dowry, and even the marriage decree stated that Liu Xiaoru was "marrying" Luo's son.

The Queen Mother's meaning was very clear. It was both a favor and support for Liu Xiaoru.

Liu Xiaoru naturally understood the deep love conveyed by the Queen Mother's decree.

Liu Xiaoru had never seen the Queen Mother, so she was not so arrogant as to think that the Queen Mother granted the marriage because of her. At this moment, she really wanted to lift the red veil and take a look at Niuniu.

"My dear..." Liu Xiaoru's voice was choked with sobs.

Zhang Yunniang hurriedly sent her daughter over.

"Auntie Liu." Niu Niu's soft little hand held Liu Xiaoru's other hand.

"Thank you, dear." Liu Xiaoru knew very well that after the marriage decree was issued, no one in the Luo family would dare to say anything to her even if they still disliked her background. In fact, everyone had to treat her respectfully. "Aunt Liu, I have told the Queen Mother your story many times. She likes you very much." Niuniu said in a baby voice.

At this time, all the guests who heard this were suddenly enlightened. It turned out that the Queen Mother liked to listen to stories.

Only Liu Xiaoru knew very well that this had nothing to do with the story, it was just because she was Niu Niu's family.

Liu Xiaoru always thought that Niu Niu was the most lovable child in the world. As long as you stay with the little girl for a long time, no one would dislike her.

Liu Xiaoru naturally took it for granted that the honor she had received now was all due to Niuniu.

"Aunt Liu thanks the Queen Mother, but the one I'm most grateful to will always be Niu Niu. Without our good baby, there wouldn't be me today." Liu Xiaoru lowered her voice and said to Niu Niu.

But Niu Niu felt that she was not that good. She never realized how much she had helped Liu Xiaoru.

"My dear, can you please take me out?" Liu Xiaoru suddenly asked.

Niuniu nodded vigorously.

After the marriage decree was read out, the wedding continued, but before it was Zhang Yuniang holding Liu Xiaoru's hand, but now it was Niuniu.

The little girl held Liu Xiaoru's hand and slowly walked out the door.

When they reached the door, Shopkeeper Luo gently said to the little girl, "My dear, just send me here. From now on, you have to call me uncle."

Niu Niu's eyes were still filled with reluctance.

Even Liu Xiaoru found the separation so difficult.

"Okay, okay, even though your Aunt Liu is married, she will always be your Aunt Liu." Zhang Yuniang coaxed gently.

Niu Niu finally let go.

Watching the wedding guard go farther and farther away, the red finally disappearing at the corner of the street, the little girl turned around and asked her mother: "Why do you have to leave home? Why can't Uncle Luo join our family?"

"Because your Uncle Luo also has his own family, and his family also wants to stay with him." Zhang Yuniang said softly.

Niuniu frowned, thought for a long time, and finally said: "Then even if I get married in the future, I want to find someone who is willing to join our family. I don't want to be separated from you."

Zhang Yuniang couldn't help laughing.

However, when Gu Mingda heard this, he said happily: "Our good boy is the one who thinks about it. He will bring back a bad boy instead of going to someone else's house to suffer."

Zhang Yunniang added, "We will be moving soon. We will buy a house that is closer to your Aunt Liu. Then you can see her anytime you want."

The house that the Gu family lives in now was rented to them by Shopkeeper Luo. They have been in Beijing for so long that they have saved up almost all the money. The neighbors here are all ordinary people. They are inevitably jealous of the Gu family when they see that they have a good life. There have been several frictions between the neighbors.

After much thought, Gu Mingda decided to change his residence.

Niuniu's eyes sparkled at this moment, and she said to her father, "Then I want to live in the room closest to Aunt Liu!"
