Chapter 247
Gu Lei finally came back at night, and he let out a long sigh of relief as soon as he entered the door, as if he had escaped a catastrophe.
"Fortunately, there are many brothers in my family, otherwise no one would stop me from drinking."
"Yu'er, have you eaten yet, don't starve you."
Li Yu smiled, "I ate it, and sister Wan'er brought it to me in person."
"That's good."
"Have you been drinking a lot?"
Li Yu wrinkled his nose when he smelled the wine.
Gu Lei sat on the edge of the bed and leaned his head on her shoulder, giggling and teasing, "No, I just drank two or three glasses, and it was Brother Ping and the others who helped me stop drinking. I can't drink too much today."
Li Yu smiled shyly.
"Aren't you tired? After a day of tossing around, I sent someone to fetch water. You can take off the crown and relax for a while."
Gu Lei pulled her to sit in front of the vanity mirror, and carefully helped her remove the heavy tiara.
The bride's tiara is all real gold and silver, inlaid with gemstones and pearls. It is very heavy, and my neck hurts after wearing it all day.
Li Yu took off the crown and let out a long sigh of relief, "My God, ouch!"
Gu Lei chuckled and rubbed her neck and shoulders with his hands.
"You're exhausted, this thing is really heavy."
I carried it in my hand and weighed it, it was really heavy.
"It's all real gems, can it not sink with so many stacks?"
Two servant girls knocked on the door and came in, bringing hot water for Li Yu to wash.
A servant girl wiped the tiara carefully with a velvet cloth, then wrapped it in thick layers, put it back into the box, and put mothballs to prevent insects from eating it.
This is the tiara handed down from Mrs. Li's generation. It was specially customized by Grandpa Li, and it is very expensive.
Wang's tiara was sent back to Wang's family.
Generally, this kind of crown is only worn once, and it is worn once if there is one at home, for a festive face.
Or you can rent it in a store, it will not be specially customized, it is too expensive, and it will only be used for one day, which is really not worthwhile.
Aristocratic families generally only have one top, and someone takes it back after wearing it.
Wang’s wears the Wang family’s, and they send them back when they are finished.
After Li Yu finished wearing it, she had to send it back to the Li family for use by other girls in the Li family to support the scene.
This is not a shame, this thing is really expensive, and it will only be used for one day, so there is no point in pressing the bottom of the box.
If you don’t have one, you can rent it from a gold shop for a day, which is also a good deal.
The servant girl packed the tiara into a box and took it away, and Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief after washing her face.
Removed all the hairpins and jewelry on his head, and his head suddenly became several pounds lighter.
The maids retreated in a file and closed the door.
Gu Lei also went to wash up and came back, seeing Li Yu sitting there a little at a loss, he was immediately happy.
It is rare to see her at a loss. In the past, she was calm, determined and wise, but it is rare to see her like this today.
Gu Lei sat on the edge of the bed, pulled her over, told her to turn around, and rubbed the back of her neck and shoulders with his hands.
"Would you care for something to eat."
"I've eaten it. Brother Ping brought me a bowl of shredded chicken noodles for me to eat before I went to drink."
"That's good."
Li Yu was a little nervous looking for something to say.
"Yu'er, I am very happy to marry you, I finally married you."
Gu Lei looked at his wife with a waterfall of blue hair, her heart and eyes were full of her, and his chest was full of joy and excitement.
"I am also very happy."
Li Yu lowered his head and rubbed the corner of his clothes.
"have a rest."
It was late at night, and the red candle was still burning, dancing beautiful notes, reflecting the long beginning of love.
The next morning Mammy knocked at the door.
"Master, it's time to get up. I want to greet the old man. Please don't be late for the first day today."
Li Yu opened his eyes suddenly, looked left and right, and found that Gu Lei was hugging his waist like a koala, and only after blinking did he remember that he was married.
"Get up, I'm going to invite An Jing tea."
"Well, okay."
Gu Lei rubbed his head against her and got up helplessly.
After getting dressed, he opened his mouth, "Come in."
Grandma came in with a tub, and first took Li Yu's medicinal bath to relax her muscles and bones.
Gu Lei washed up soon, and changed into a red moiré tunic with narrow sleeves, looking happy and handsome.
After serving Li Yu to take a bath, the nanny dressed her in the bride's bright red Baizi gown, paired it with gold silk inlaid ruby head and face jewelry, and specially wore a few extra hairpins and bracelets. reward.
After putting on makeup, I drank a small bowl of hot almond milk tea to warm my stomach.
"I'm fine, let's go."
"Have you brought all the gifts, don't make mistakes today."
Gu Lei deliberately confessed to them, and if they made a mistake, Yu'er would lose face.
"No mistake, the old slave checked it on purpose this morning."
"Let's go."
Gu Lei led Yu'er to serve tea to Grandpa Gu and other elders.
Grandpa Gu woke up early this morning, put on new clothes, packed up early and waited for the children to come to serve tea, and finally looked forward to this day.
The couple knelt on the futon and offered tea.
"Okay, good boy, I hope that your husband and wife will be harmonious and advance and retreat together. I guess I will leave it to you in the future."
"yes."
"This is the jade bracelet and jade pendant passed down from your grandmother, please give it to you."
Grandpa Gu took out the gift he had prepared long ago, and passed it on to the eldest son, the eldest grandson, and the clan wife.
Gu Lin didn't get it, and Grandma Gu changed the gift, but didn't give her this, and kept it all the time.
At the same time, there are also related items such as the seal of the master.
Next, say hello to the mother-in-law and the third aunt and other elders one by one, and then say hello to the brothers and sisters. Everyone has gifts, which are prepared in advance.
"Go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors first, and have a meal together later."
There are a lot of things to do today. When a clan wife gets married, she needs to meet her relatives, go to the ancestral hall to pay respects to her ancestors, and add a family tree. The Gu family also prepared three days in advance.
Li Yu followed Gu Lei and the elders to meet their relatives.
The advantage of marrying so close is that Li Yu is very familiar with the Gu family, and there will be no embarrassment of the new wife's head being unclear. The relationship of more than ten years can't be wrong.
Li Yu felt at ease when he came to Gu’s family to see his relatives. He kowtowed to the elders, greeted his aunts and sisters-in-law, gave gifts, and made the elders laugh from ear to ear.
"Okay, stop making trouble, and come to worship the ancestors."
The grandfather of the clan greeted him.
Li Yu hurriedly stood on the right hand of Gu Lei, and stood behind Grandpa Gu.
The whole family worshiped their ancestors together, and Gu Lei and Li Yu kowtowed to their father-in-law and Uncle Gu.
The grandfather of the clan filled in Li Yu's name on the Gu family tree.
"In the future, Gu Lishi will be the clan wife of the Gu family. I don't need to remind you what to do. I clamor for the clan wife to come in all day long. After the clan wife is married back, everyone must unite as one and obey orders."
"Here."
Grandpa Gu finally said, "This time, I married the most outstanding girl to be the wife of our family. If you are picky, you can move out by yourself."
"We should do our best and shoulder the responsibilities. Our big house will send people, money, and lives. If you are still not satisfied, you can do it yourself. I am old and can't take care of so much. In the future, I will find Leizi and Dalang if I have anything to do. daughter in law."
Dalang refers to the eldest son and grandson. After the father dies, the son is the eldest son and can be called Dalang. Not everyone can use this title.
Gu Dalang, outsiders will know that this is the boss of the Gu family, and also the meaning of the parents.
Unmarried people usually only call Da Lang by parents. In a well-behaved family, only after getting married can they call Da Lang, which means that this is the new head of my family.
