Chapter 304 My Cousin's Engagement
That day, Xiao Siyue had just returned from outside and entered Lin Qin's room when she heard her say, "Yue'er, come here quickly."
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"Your cousin came over and said that your cousin was getting engaged the next day, and asked us to come over too," Lin Qin said excitedly.
"My cousin is getting engaged. Which family is she getting engaged to? How old is she? What does she look like?" Xiao Siyue asked with great interest.
"Your cousin only said he's from their alley and is three years older than your cousin. I don't know what he looks like, but he should be pretty, otherwise your cousin wouldn't have agreed."
That's true, her cousin is a sucker for good looks, she just likes good-looking people.
“Okay, then let’s go to Grandma’s house together tomorrow.” Since it was her cousin’s engagement, Xiao Siyue naturally had to go so she could give her cousin some advice.
The next day, the family of three went to Grandma Lin's house. Xiao Qinian had been busy these past few days with the formula that Xiao Siyue had given him and had no time to spare.
So Lin Qin took her two children back to her parents' home.
The Lin family has moved now. Over the past year, their business has been doing very well. They have even opened several branches in the capital. With money in hand, they bought a new house before the new year, which is much more impressive than the previous one.
"Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, Cousin, Cousin and Cousin's sister, hello." Xiao Siyue greeted everyone first after entering.
"Yue'er, you've finally arrived! Let's go to my room first." After greeting Lin Qin, Lin Dandan pulled Xiao Siyue back to her room, accompanied by Luo Yu, the wife of her cousin Lin Xinzhou.
Luo Yu just married into the Lin family this year, and Xiao Siyue had only met her once or twice, so they weren't very familiar with each other.
"Cousin, what's your future wife like? Is she pretty?" Xiao Siyue asked as soon as she sat down.
Lin Dandan blushed with embarrassment at Xiao Siyue's words: "Yue'er~"
"Oh cousin, how is it going?" Xiao Siyue teased deliberately.
"Not bad, very considerate, and quite handsome too. You'll see him in a bit." Lin Dandan gently patted Xiao Siyue's shoulder and said shyly, her voice so soft that Xiao Siyue almost couldn't hear her.
"It seems like this future cousin-in-law is quite nice. Congratulations to my cousin on her happy marriage."
"Cousin, which family does he belong to? What are his family's specific circumstances like?"
Seeing her sister-in-law's shy expression, Luo Yu answered Xiao Siyue's question for her.
“My future brother-in-law’s surname is Gu. He lives in the same alley as us, not far from our house, less than two miles away. His family is in business, selling cloth. He is the only son in his family. After my sister marries him, she will be the young mistress of the house. My future in-laws are all reasonable people, so my cousin doesn’t need to worry.”
"Moreover, my in-laws and my parents are very familiar with each other and often come to visit. They don't have any troubles, so my younger sister will have an easy life in the future."
"As for my brother-in-law, he is not only handsome, but also very well-mannered. He is an extremely outstanding young talent."
Luo Yu knew that Xiao Siyue cared about Lin Dandan, so she explained in great detail. Xiao Siyue also learned about her future cousin-in-law and his family.
After the three chatted for a while, a servant came to say that someone from the Gu family had arrived, so the group went to the main hall together.
Upon entering, Xiao Siyue met the Gu family. Gu's parents were dressed modestly and simply, but the fabric of their clothes clearly indicated that they were of high quality. Gu's father had a smiling face and a round belly, making him look like Maitreya Buddha, which easily gave people a sense of friendliness, but his eyes were extremely shrewd.
Gu's mother looked very capable and efficient; she was clearly not a simple person, nor was she the kind of person who was difficult to deal with. On the contrary, she was the kind of woman who clearly had a lot of opinions.
As for the young man sitting to the left and right of the two, he was indeed good-looking, but not the kind of good-looking that would amaze anyone. Xiao Siyue had seen many good-looking men before, such as her older brothers and the few people she had met when she went horseback riding with her brothers. They were all outstanding individuals.
However, among ordinary people, her looks are definitely top-notch. In modern times, she would definitely be the kind of person who could enter the entertainment industry and not be forgotten. No wonder Lin Dandan likes her.
His temperament was quite unique. Unlike his uncle and aunt, who were obviously businessmen, this future cousin-in-law had a very faint air of a businessman and instead had the unique air of a scholar.
When he saw them come in, he didn't look directly at Xiao Siyue, but instead focused his gaze on Lin Dandan next to Xiao Siyue, and gave her a slight smile.
"And who is this?" Father Gu asked, looking at Xiao Siyue.
"This is my granddaughter, Yue'er, come here quickly." Grandma Lin couldn't hide her smile, clearly very pleased with her future in-laws.
"Siyue greets Uncle and Aunt." After bowing to the two, Xiao Siyue walked over to Grandma Lin and sat down next to her.
Father Gu glanced at Xiao Siyue and thought to himself that this must be the daughter of that Lord Xiao.
They were acquainted with the Lin family and naturally knew that the Lin family had a son-in-law who was a high-ranking official, but they had never met him.
As expected of a daughter of an official, she possesses an extraordinary temperament and impeccable manners.
After taking a look at Lin Dandan, although she is not as good as Xiao Siyue, she is still very nice and a good match for their son.
After the two families discussed the engagement and the subsequent wedding arrangements, the Gu family left.
"Xiaoqin, what do you think? Is the Gu family alright?" Grandma Lin asked after the Gu family left.
Lin Qin, after all, was an official's wife, and her knowledge was far broader than that of her own family.
“Mother, I think he’s quite good. He’s a good boy. I noticed it just now. Gu Zheng is a nice boy. He seems to really like our Dandan. His eyes keep falling on Dandan. The Gu family couple are also kind and understanding people. They’re a good in-laws,” Lin Qin said.
Lin Qin's words made Lin Dandan's face flush red instantly. Everyone noticed, but simply smiled and didn't tease her.
"That's good. I think they're not bad either, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to this marriage. The Gu family lives close to us, so I'm not afraid they'll bully Dandan." Grandma Lin nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, Dandan, if you are bullied after you marry into the family, just come back. Our family will always be your support." Aunt patted her daughter's head and said affectionately.
Time flies! In the blink of an eye, my daughter is getting married. I'm really going to miss her.
"Dandan, your mother is right. If you've been wronged, tell your aunt. Your aunt will stand up for you. Don't swallow your grievances alone," Lin Qin said to Lin Dandan.
"Oh, thank you, Mom, thank you, Aunt. I'll remember that. I'll never be so cowardly." Lin Dandan was deeply moved. This was her family, always on her side.
The slight fear she had felt about getting married before had disappeared. With her family as her support, she was confident that she could get through whatever came her way.
