Ji Mingyue smiled and replied, “The most important thing is that the cousins get along and help each other. The elders must be impartial.

“As for Yao Yao’s wedding, that was different!”

“Yao Yao was marrying into the Mo family, and Mo Beihan is the master of the Mo family! Yao Yao is not just the Gu family’s granddaughter but also the Qiao family’s granddaughter! The Qiao family searched for their granddaughter for many years before Fourth Aunt finally found her long-lost daughter. Of course, her wedding has to be grand!”

Everyone did not say anything. They felt it did make sense.

When Ji Mingyue saw that, she continued, “Besides, there’s the Qin family! Yao Yao is Dr Jiang’s student, and she saved the lives of her and her husband! She took such good care of them. After the Qin family returned to China, of course they wanted to thank their benefactor! It would be stranger if Yao Yao had a simple wedding!

“This is the Gu family, and Gu Jinhang is their grandson. We have to follow the Gu family’s rules. Don’t you agree?”

Everyone: “…”

Everyone had been silenced. They felt that something was amiss, but they could not put a finger on it.

Everyone knew what it was like when Gu Qingyao married into the Mo family.

When the Qiao and Qin families moved into the capital, Gu Qingyao, who was connected to both families, became their mascot. Her dignity reflected how much the Qiao and Qin Families thought of her. This was the attitude of the seniors, and it was to reassure the Qiao and Qin families.

As for the Gu family…

When the Gu family’s oldest cousin, Gu Jinye, got married, the wedding was much simpler than this…

Ji Mingyue smiled at everyone and said, “All right, all right! Look at you! Don’t worry! I’m content!

“When we get married, character and family are the most important! The Gu family is a harmonious one, and everyone gets along well with each other. Jinhang is a good man too. That’s enough! Besides, they’ve already given me a lot. When Eldest Sister-in-law got married, life was so difficult!

“We have survived those hard years, and things are much better now!”

Everyone smiled in embarrassment and had no choice but to agree with her. If they disagreed, would it mean that they thought the current times were not good?

They must not say such things. If others heard about it, they would be in trouble.

“Yes, yes, yes, in marriage, character is the most important. Gu Jinhang is famous in the capital for his talent and his good looks. Our Mingyue has found a treasure!”

“Oh, an engagement banquet of this scale is already very good. As times progress, our lives will only improve. In the past, we would not even dare to dream of something like that!”

…

She successfully dispelled their embarrassment. Although Ji Mingyue’s engagement banquet was not as grand and ostentatious as everyone expected it would be, it did not lower her standing in everyone’s minds. Instead, they were inwardly certain that Ji Mingyue had gotten a lot more.

She was just saying that to make it sound good in public.

Otherwise, given Gu Qingyao’s recent grand wedding, how could Ji Mingyue still be smiling over a much simpler wedding?

After the engagement banquet, there was a lot of bustle in the capital. The ladies of the upper class had a new topic of discussion every day. Everyone seemed very interested in how much Ji Mingyue had received in terms of dowry and jewelry, so they scrutinized her movements.

Everyone paid close attention to what she wore when she went out with Gu Jinhang on a certain day, or a few days later.

Whenever they saw her wear a new piece of jewelry, they would excitedly discuss it for a long time.. They said things like, I’m sure it was given by the Gu family! I told you so! The Gu family must have privately given her many, many things and so on.
