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.

This sudden decree from the empress dowager caught everyone off guard.

Or a colleague reminded Gu Mingda: "Brother Gu, since it is the decree from the empress dowager, you should set up an incense table and be respectful."

The colleague kindly reminded him because he was afraid that Gu Mingda had just become an official and had not received the decree from the nobles at home, so he was negligent.

The person who came to announce the decree was Li Shunfu. He blinked at Niuniu as soon as he entered the door. He held a decree in his hand and waited 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 a decree coming. The atmosphere around her made people feel very depressed. She nervously pulled the other end of the red silk.

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

Shopkeeper Luo lowered his head and whispered to his newlywed wife: "Don't worry, the eunuch who delivered the decree looks smiling, it doesn't look like a bad thing."

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 with the red silk. In my heart, we have already completed the ceremony. You are my wife. Don't think of breaking off the engagement because of other things. The couple's hearts are together and any difficulties can be overcome."

A trace of sweetness flashed through Liu Xiaoru's 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 look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. Even if she is dissatisfied with us, she will take Niuniu's mood into consideration. It's probably not a bad thing."

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

"Uncle Manager, what did the Empress Dowager give?" Niuniu tugged at his sleeve and looked up and asked.

The rest of the Gu family was also 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 edict is read out, but don't worry, it's not a bad thing anyway."

A group of people breathed a sigh of relief. Today is the big day of marrying my sister. If something really happened, it would be bad.

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

"Liu, the sister of your Hanlin Academy, Gu Mingda, is outstanding in talent and chastity, pure and virtuous, and in her prime. She is suitable to marry a good husband. Today, I specially grant her marriage to Luo's son in Anzhou, and make a promise to live together forever, and make the two families good..."

Along with the imperial edict of marriage, there are also a lot of rewards from the Empress Dowager.

Coincidentally, all these marriage rewards 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 intention was very clear. It was both a favor and a 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 wanted to lift the red veil and take a look at Niuniu.

"My dear..." Liu Xiaoru's voice choked.

Zhang Yunniang hurriedly sent her daughter over.

"Aunt Liu." Niuniu's soft little hand held Liu Xiaoru's other hand.

"My dear, thank you." Liu Xiaoru knew very well that after this marriage decree, even if the Luo family still disliked her background, no one would dare to say anything to her, and even on the surface, everyone had to treat her respectfully.

"Aunt Liu, I have told the Queen Mother your story many times, and she likes you very much." Niu Niu said in a baby voice.

At this time, all the guests who heard this around were surprised. 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, but 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 will dislike her.

Now that she has received this honor, Liu Xiaoru naturally thinks that it all comes from Niu Niu.

"Aunt Liu thanks the Queen Mother, but the one I thank the most is always Niu Niu. Without our good boy, there would be no me today." Liu Xiaoru said to Niu Niu in a low voice.

Niu Niu felt that she was not so good. She never knew how much she helped Liu Xiaoru.

"Good boy, can you take me out?" Liu Xiaoru suddenly asked.

Niu Niu nodded vigorously.

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

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

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

Niuniu still looked reluctant.

Even Liu Xiaoru felt that the separation was so difficult.

"Okay, okay, although your Aunt Liu is married, she will always be your Aunt Liu." Zhang Yunniang coaxed gently.

Niuniu finally let go.

Watching the wedding guard go farther and farther away, the red finally disappeared 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 Yunniang 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 Yunniang couldn't help laughing.

Gu Mingda heard this and said happily: "Our good boy is smart. He will bring back a bad boy instead of going to someone else's house to suffer."

Zhang Yunniang said again: "We will move in a while. When the time comes, we will buy a house close to your Aunt Liu. You can see her anytime you want."

The house that the Gu family lives in now is rented to them by Manager Luo. They have been in Beijing for so long and have accumulated enough money. The neighbors here are all ordinary people. Seeing that the Gu family lives a good life, they are inevitably jealous. There have been several frictions between neighbors.

Gu Mingda thought about it and decided to change his residence.

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