The moment the words were out, all the young girls looked over and pricked up their ears.
“Yes, yes! The Gu family is so rich. I heard that they were already an important family in their forefathers’ time. Although their fortunes declined for a while, the fact that their family has survived so well shows that they were prepared. It’s a new era now. I heard that many families that used to be wealthy might look as if they were in terrible straits, but the moment the situation changed, it turned out they had plenty of money! They’re very rich!”
“Exactly. Recently, so many families that appeared to be average have begun to make themselves known, and many have gone into business. Although the term ‘entrepreneur’ is not well thought of, their money is the same. Whether it’s obtained from a business or a salaried job, there’s no such thing as inferior or superior money. As long as it can be used to buy things, it’s the same!”
“The Gu family is even related to the Qiao family by marriage! Madam Qiao is so rich. When the Gu family holds a wedding, she will surely contribute?”
“Tell us! How much is your dowry? It’s certainly not just this little bit. I will never believe that.”
Everyone was chattering and trying to find out. In those times, it was unusual to have a decent wedding ceremony, and regardless of the times, all girls dreamt of a grand wedding.
Ji Mingyue was inwardly pleased. After all, the Gu family had really given her a large amount. In the past, she had not been able to make a match. Although her older brothers and parents did not say anything about it, her sisters-in-law had been displeased.
Now the Gu family had shown her sufficient respect.
“Stop guessing, there really isn’t anything else. The Gu family is very simple. They used to stay in a village! How rich can they be?”
“Tsk…”
Everyone shook their heads. No one believed her!
“You’re just being humble! Look at how you’re beaming. The Gu family definitely gave you more than that. Oh, we’re just curious. Show us! We aren’t married yet! Let us see so we can use it as a reference!”
But Ji Mingyue was not so foolish.
They were maintaining such a low profile so that these girls could not use it for comparison.
“Really, there is nothing else. The Gu family is not as rich as you think. The Gu family has so many children. Jinhang and the other cousins of this generation have grown up, but there are many younger ones! When times were hard, the money they earned went to supporting the family. Surely, they couldn’t watch all those little ones go hungry?”
“Then the two old folks were living in the countryside and had a simple but hard life. They were working but had to show filial piety towards the old folks. They didn’t manage to save much at all. Don’t you see the boys of the Gu family aren’t married yet? It’s because they were poor in the past!”
Everyone: “…”
Did she mean that the men of the Gu family were single because they were so poor they could not afford a wife?
Do you think we’re stupid?
“Mingyue, you’re not being honest! What’s wrong with telling us! How can the Gu family be that poor!”
“That’s right! Gu Qingyao had such a grand wedding. Why is yours so simple?”
“You’re marrying Gu Jinhang. You’re the future mistress of the Gu family! Are you sure it’s so shabby?”
Ji Mingyue continued to smile calmly. “Look at you. What mistress? What era is it now?
“Besides, we’re from the second son’s family. The Gu family’s oldest son and grandson are from a different branch! When Oldest Cousin got married, it was very simple too! Jinhang is the second cousin.. If the Gu family holds such an extravagant wedding, it will embarrass Oldest Cousin and his wife.”
