Chapter 199 Please come in person
Three days later, Princess Du sent someone to deliver a letter to Jinchu, and the Gao family agreed!
A few days later, on an auspicious day, Jin Chu came again and after some formalities, she became the adopted daughter of the Gao family.
A few days later, Jinchu took Huanyan and Zhaoer to stay in the new courtyard specially opened by the Gao family.
This stay lasted for more than three months, during which time most of the three books and six ceremonies required for marriage were completed.
The days passed like water and it was the fifth day of April.
That day, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle and gentle.
This is the date agreed upon by the Dingbei Palace and the Gao family.
Early in the morning, everyone in the Gao family dressed in new clothes and waited happily in the hall, waiting for someone from the Dingbei Palace to come.
Just after noon, the servant outside the door ran in panting and shouted happily, "Prince, the prince has come in person with the people from the palace, and they have brought two live geese!"
A burst of praise immediately rang out in the room.
"I heard that these two wild geese were caught by the prince himself!"
"The prince is of noble status, yet he can still go and catch wild geese himself. This shows how much he cares about our Ah Jin!"
"Who says not? Ah Jin is beautiful and intelligent, and she deserves the Prince's wholehearted attention. They have a good relationship, and it makes us happy to see it."
"Sister-in-law is really lucky. She got such a thoughtful adopted daughter like Ajin for free. When she marries into the royal palace in the future, sister-in-law's good days are still to come!"
Listening to these compliments, Mrs. Gao Tian could no longer suppress her smile. She directed the servant who came running over, "Hurry up and go to the study in the front yard to report to the master. Have him take his men to the door to greet him. When you're done, go find the steward to claim your reward!"
After hearing this, the servant responded promptly and ran towards Mr. Gao's study in the front yard.
In a short while, Gao Zhen brought his brothers, sons and nephews out of the study, and his wife Tian also came out to welcome the guests.
Su Cheng'an was wearing a lake green robe, a white jade belt around his waist, and a white jade crown on his head. His usually indifferent face had an obvious smile on it, and he looked like a handsome young man in this world.
Even though they had met the prince several times, many women were still dazzled by his smile today.
Upon seeing the Gao couple, Su Cheng'an bowed and said hello first: "Yizhi greets his adoptive father and mother!"
Gao Zhen quickly dodged and stepped forward to return the greeting: "I dare not accept the Crown Prince's gift. Zhen and his wife and brothers pay their respects to the Crown Prince."
Since you two are Ajin's adoptive father and mother, you are also Yizhi's adoptive father and mother. My adoptive father, please don't be too nervous. Today we are only performing family etiquette, not discussing state etiquette."
After saying that, he stepped forward and personally supported Gao Zhen, and everyone else stood up as well.
Gao Zhen was satisfied, with a smile on his face: "In that case, please come in, Prince!"
The people from the Dingbei Palace followed the prince and went to the hall under the guidance of Gao Zhen and others.
In a small house not far from the hospital.
Huanyan hurried in with the two little girls from the Gao family. "Sister, the prince is here, and he brought two live geese with him."
Jin Chu was sitting by the window, embroidering a handkerchief with her head down. She smiled silently when she heard the words, and her mood, which had been a little irritated by the mess, calmed down a lot in an instant.
"Sister, is this a mandarin duck or a duck?"
Zhao'er looked at Jinchu's pattern for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
When he called out, Huanyan leaned forward, took a quick glance, and then burst into laughter. "There's a saying that goes, 'No gold is pure, and no one is perfect.' Sister, although you're clever and intelligent, you really don't have the talent for embroidery."
Seeing Jinchu glaring at her in dissatisfaction, Huanyan was not afraid, and continued with a smile: "Sister, don't make it difficult for yourself. Let the needlework be done by the embroiderer in the future!"
She leaned close to Jin Chu's ear and whispered jokingly, "This will prevent you from wasting time and getting angry at yourself for nothing. If something bad happens to you, even if we don't feel bad, your future brother-in-law will definitely feel bad!"
"You bad girl, now you are so bold that you even dare to criticize your sister!" Jin Chu stretched out his hand to grab Huanyan's sleeve and pretended to hit her.
Huanyan hurriedly pulled out her sleeves and smiled at Jinchu, "Alright, alright, Huanyan won't tease you anymore. The prince came personally to give you geese today, which made everyone in the mansion envious. Huanyan is also happy for you!"
Jin Chu also put away his playful look and asked in a low voice, "Is Su Cheng'an really here?"
Ever since she moved into the Gao family with Huanyan Zhaoer, she and Su Chengan had not seen each other for two or three months because they were doing pre-wedding gift-giving to avoid suspicion.
Although they exchanged letters, for the young man and woman who were deeply in love, it was still impossible to resolve the longing they felt for each other.
How could Jin Chu remain calm when he heard that his beloved had come in person to send the geese off today?
Huanyan nodded and smiled again: "Sister, you and the prince haven't seen each other for several months, right? Since the prince is here in person today, I'm sure he will find an opportunity to visit you."
"You just know more!" Jin Chu blushed slightly and said lightly.
"Don't worry, sister. Huanyan will guard the yard for you and won't let any outsiders get close to this place." Huanyan winked at Jinchu mischievously and promised.
Jin Chu could no longer put on airs and burst out laughing.
Since her mind was in turmoil, Jin Chu simply put down the embroidery frame and picked up a biography to kill time.
The Gaos took incredibly good care of Jinchu. They even set aside a separate courtyard for her, and upon learning she was from the south, they thoughtfully found a cook from the south for her, and even built a small kitchen specifically for her so she could cook on her own.
Apart from not being able to see Su Cheng'an as often as usual, Jin Chu actually had a very comfortable life at the Gao family.
Normally, she would go to the hospital every two or three days to pay her respects to the old lady and stepmother, but today, in order to avoid suspicion, she didn't even step out of her own yard.
Su Cheng'an's words caused ripples in Jin Chu's originally calm heart.
At one moment, she felt that she had not seen him for a long time, and he would surely find an opportunity to come and see her; at another moment, she felt that he was of noble status, and in an occasion like today, he would surely be surrounded by the men of the Gao family, and might not be able to spare the time to come and see her; then, in a flash, she felt that she was so concerned about him that it seemed a bit disrespectful.
Amidst this chaotic and chaotic thought, it was already lunch time.
Huanyan came back and brought the news that Su Chengan was surrounded by men from the Gao family and was treated with great ceremony.
It seems that he can't get away today!
Jin Chu, feeling a little disappointed, had lunch absentmindedly. With the help of the maid, she took off her hairpins, let down her hair, took off her coat, and leaned on the beauty couch, thinking about her worries while basking in the warm sun. She relaxed her body unconsciously and gradually fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a slight creaking sound and the door was pushed open.
In a daze, she felt as if someone was holding her hand. Jin Chu was startled and was about to shake it off when she heard a deep male voice laughing in her ear: "Ajin, it's me."
