Chapter 376: Supporting You
"Okay, okay, we're home. Gu Zhao, you can't run away from your studies. Niuniu, you can't change people when entering the palace." Zhang Yunniang scolded the two children with a stern face.
Niu Niu and Gu Zhao both looked disappointed, but they also knew that they probably couldn't violate the decision made by Zhang Yunniang.
"Wow, my home is so beautiful today!" Niu Niu said happily as she got off the carriage.
Today, the entire Gu family is covered with red silk. Mrs. Gu and Dad Gu are waiting at the door. As soon as they see Niuniu get out of the car, Mrs. Gu immediately holds the little girl in her arms and screams heartily. .
"Okay, okay, our dear baby is still as heavy as a calf, which shows that we are not hungry in the palace." Mrs. Gu said with emotion.
In the eyes of the older generation, having enough food is a big deal. As long as they are not hungry, they should not suffer too much grievance.
Niu Niu pressed her fair little face against Mrs. Gu's: "Grandma, I miss you so much in the palace!"
"Baby……"
Dad Gu shouted vaguely from the side.
Niu Niu immediately said: "Grandpa, I miss you very much too!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Dad Gu's wrinkled face.
"Let's go in quickly. Your Aunt Liu looked outside early in the morning. She has been waiting impatiently at home. She has been talking about it every day. When she knew you weren't coming back, she even wanted to postpone the wedding." Mr. Gu Tai explained.
Niu Niu immediately climbed down from her grandma and rushed to the yard where Liu Xiaoru lived like a cannonball.
"Aunt Liu, I'm back!"
Liu Xiaoru was wearing a red wedding dress and her hair was covered with gold jewelry. She opened her hands to catch the little girl who rushed into her arms.
"If you don't come back, I won't get married!" Liu Xiaoru said with a smile.
Xi Niang, who was helping to dress up at the side, heard this and immediately said: "Oh, my good girl, you can't say such depressing words on your big day!"
Liu Xiaoru and Niu Niu burst into laughter when they heard this.
Xiniang said again: "Miss Liu, please come back and sit down quickly. Your hair hasn't been combed yet!"
Liu Xiaoru was forced to sit back again, but she was still thinking about Niu Niu. She took the little girl's hand and asked, "Is there anyone bullying you in the palace?"
Although Liu Xiaoru had long known from Zhang Yuniang that Niu Niu was now favored by the Queen Mother, she still couldn't help but want to ask in person.
Niu Niu shook her head: "No one bullies me, everyone likes me!!
Liu Xiaoru said: "Of course, our dear baby is the most lovable little girl in the world. Only people who have no vision will dislike you!"
Niu Niu tilted her head and laughed, and the little girl asked again: "Aunt Liu, have you had breakfast? Are you hungry?"
Liu Xiaoru shook her head and said, "I got up early in the morning and was busy dressing up. I didn't have time to eat at all."
Niu Niu immediately frowned and said, "It's so uncomfortable to be hungry. Let's go have breakfast together first, and then come back to dress up!"
Xi Niang immediately said: "Little girl, you don't know the rules of marriage in Beijing. The bride must go to her husband's house hungry, so as not to bring her mother's family's wealth with her."
This was the first time Niu Niu heard this rule. The little girl frowned and said, "But I would rather let Aunt Liu bring her wealth than let her go hungry."
Xi Niang didn't know what to say for a moment, but Zhang Yun Niang walked in at that moment and immediately looked at her for help.
Zhang Yuniang said: "Let's go and have dinner together. Your brother-in-law and I don't believe these things, so you can eat with confidence."
Xiniang suddenly ran out of ideas and said, "You want this for yourselves. I can't stop you. Don't blame me if you lose your fortune later!"
Liu Xiaoru didn't dare to eat anymore, but said: "Sister, forget it, it doesn't matter if you are hungry."
Zhang Yuniang said: "The capital has its own rules, and Guanglin has its own rules. On the day of my wedding, I had a rare breakfast at my mother's house. Didn't it affect my family's wealth?"
Zhang Yuniang carefully recalled that during the years when her natal family became wealthy, it was purely because they adopted Niu Niu. Later, her natal family became ruined only because they lost Niu Niu.
Niu Niu was at the side again and said pitifully: "I finally got out of the palace. Aunt Liu will get married soon. She can't even sit down and have a meal together..."
Liu Xiaoru couldn't stand the little girl's pitiful look. She said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you. Let's go have breakfast now."
But before they even walked out of the room, they saw someone moving a large round table into the yard.
"While you haven't gone out yet, let's have breakfast with the whole family, right here." Gu Mingda said with a smile.
Liu Xiaoru glanced over and saw that the table was full of people.
Brother Shen Changfeng said with a smile: "You are Niu Niu's aunt, and you will also be our brother and sister's aunt in the future."
Sun Jiaxing and his wife also said: "You are Niuniu's aunt, and you will also be our little sister in the future. If Brother Luo dares to treat you badly, just tell us."
Even Xie Xingchuan, who had always been reticent, said expressionlessly: "Auntie, I have great strength and can help you stand out in the future."
Mrs. Gu and Daddy Gu also looked at Liu Xiaoru lovingly at this time.
Liu Xiaoru's eyes were sore. Her ex-husband was not a good person, and the past days were like being soaked in bitter water. If her ex-husband hadn't gone to Fucheng to take the exam, and she was lucky enough to meet Zhang Yunniang, she might have been murdered by her ex-husband in a daze.
Now she is not only doing business, but also married to a good husband in everyone's eyes, and now there are a lot of people who want to support her.
Liu Xiaoru's eyes fell on Zhang Yunniang and Niu Niu. Her life could change so much because of them.
"Thank you... I really don't know... what to say..." Liu Xiaoru cried.
Zhang Yunniang handed Niu Niu a handkerchief, and Niu Niu tiptoed to wipe Liu Xiaoru's tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry, Aunt Liu wants to be the most beautiful bride. If you cry too much, your eyes will be red and it won't look good!" The little girl said softly.
Liu Xiaoru stopped crying.
The whole family sat together for breakfast, and Niu Niu ate the wontons she had been thinking about.
Niu Niu only felt that the wontons at home were fragrant and seemed to be more delicious than before.
"Your grandma killed three chickens and started cooking last night. This morning, I put the wontons in chicken soup. How could it not be delicious?" Zhang Yunniang explained with a smile.
Father Gu suddenly said, "Chickens... I... I..."
Old Lady Gu said unhappily, "I know, I know, you raised chickens, you raised chickens specifically for Niu Niu! You old man, you are so confused, and you are afraid that others will take your credit!"
The people at the table laughed immediately.
Niu Niu turned her head and blinked at her grandfather, and Father Gu nodded with satisfaction.
Although the chicken soup wontons were delicious, Liu Xiaoru didn't dare to eat them, for fear that the soup would splash on her. She just ate some cakes and fried food to fill her stomach slightly.
Halfway through the morning, the bridesmaid finally dressed Liu Xiaoru neatly.
Coincidentally, at this time, the Luo family's wedding team was already waiting outside the door.
Although Zhang Yunniang had always hoped that Liu Xiaoru would have a good home, she was reluctant to send her sister off to marry.
Shopkeeper Luo, also wearing a red wedding dress, assured Zhang Yuniang again and again: "Don't worry, sister, I will take good care of Xiaoru."
Zhang Yuniang nodded with tears in her eyes.
But before the newlyweds left the house, something unexpected happened at the door.
"The Queen Mother's decree has arrived!" Someone shouted.
