May twenty-first.
It's Gu Qingcheng's birthday, and it's also the official day for haircut ceremony.
Gu's Wubao in Guangcheng has been tidied up a long time ago, with the city gates wide open and decorated with red and colorful decorations.
In front of the city gate of Wubao, there was a lot of traffic, almost blocking the spacious city gate.
As Gu Qingcheng's "fiancé", Chen Duan even rushed back from the river front line to personally attend his fiancée's haircut ceremony.
It stands to reason that this is not Jiankang after all, and not many of the Gu family's in-laws and relatives can come here.
Without a truly top-level family, there would be no important guests, praisers, compliments, etc.
Chen Duan had already made a plan: "Aqing is my fiancée, so her haircut ceremony will naturally be grand!"
The Gu family is in Lingnan, and all the major families that the Gu family is close to are in the capital.
Although Chen Duan was squeezed out of Jiankang by Chen Jing, he was not exiled. He was still the legitimate and powerful King of Liang.
He didn't have any excessive demands, he just wanted his fiancée's haircut ceremony to be more glamorous, and even Chen Jing would be "considerate" about it.
Chen Duan prepared a surprise for Gu Qingcheng——
"This is the red gold silk-embellished hairpin specially prepared for Aqing by Princess Qingyang——"
Chen Duan arrived in Guangcheng three days in advance. He respectfully paid a courtesy visit to Gu Yi and the Xiao couple.
When the marriage was agreed upon with Gu Qing, Gu Yi and his wife were not in Lingnan, and they only expressed their agreement through letters.
Chen Duan is in a high position, but he does not use his power to bully others.
He understands what it means to be a son-in-law.
Although I got the consent of my parents-in-law, it was still a bit rude not to ask my parents-in-law in person.
Aqing was not his first wife, not a branch of the aristocratic family, but the real legitimate daughter of the Gu family in Wu County.
Even if the Gu family was exiled and kicked out of Jiankang, they were still a first-class family.
Not to mention, the Gu family also has a huge Lingnan.
And Chen Duan needs a good helper like Gu Qing even more. Many reasons made Chen Duan attach great importance to Gu Qing and the entire Gu family.
That's why he traveled thousands of miles to attend Gu Qing's birthday party in person, and he didn't hesitate to owe favors to add luster to his fiancée's haircut ceremony.
"The eldest princess Qingyang prepared a golden hairpin for A Qing?"
Gu Yi and Xiao were both a little surprised.
They were not unexpectedly attentive to Chen Duan. Haha, a widower who was married for the second time could still marry the legitimate daughter of the Gu family. He couldn't be too attentive.
If it weren't for the daughter making the decision on this marriage, Gu Yi and his wife would not look down on Chen Duan at all.
yes!
Chen Duan was the king of Liang in the new dynasty. He held a large number of troops and was under one man.
Appearance, ability, etc. are also considered top choices.
However, his shortcomings are also obvious——
Older, in his twenties, a proper old man;
He comes from a humble background, comes from a poor family, joins the army, and is a proper vulgar warrior;
The most important thing is the second marriage... If they didn't have children, Gu Yi and his wife would definitely not agree.
However, Gu Yi and his wife are not people who "cross the river and burn the bridge".
In any case, the fact that their family was able to successfully return from the Northern Dynasties to the Southern Dynasties was all due to Chen Duan.
Besides, my daughter “likes” it.
Ahem, although Gu Yi and his wife did not see any coquettishness of their little daughter in their face, and instead looked like politicians who calculated their marriage to the extreme, as parents, their hearts were biased.
My daughter is right no matter what!
If you like Chen Duan's power and talent in leading troops in war, that's also "like".
The most important point is that the daughter is the daughter of the Gu family in Wu County, a noble daughter of a first-class family.
It is a great honor for Chen Duan that she can get married.
Do you want your daughter to really dig out her heart and soul and worship Chen Duan as a "god"?
What are you thinking!
Although it is broad daylight, it is not appropriate to dream all the time.
Gu Yi has always had the pride of an aristocratic family, so he would not be "surprised" when he saw Chen Duan being so attentive.
What really surprised the couple was that their daughter's hairpin ceremony actually "alarmed" Princess Qingyang.
This is a Jiankang legend.
First, identity is very complex.
Qingyang was the princess of the former dynasty, a royal noblewoman who was swayed by the Xiao family.
She married three husbands: Xie, Xiao and Chen.
Therefore, even if the dynasty fell and went through two changes of dynasties, she could still maintain her honor.
Second, exceptional longevity.
As a woman who has lived through three dynasties, Qingyang is eighty years old this year.
In ancient times when seventy was rare, being able to live to the age of eighty-four was definitely a blessing.
The history of the Southern Dynasties only lasted for 1670 years, and Qingyang has experienced half of it!
With a noble birth, many husbands, children, and in-laws, and a long waiting list... Princess Qingyang is simply a legend of her generation.
After the Xiao and Chen families came to power, especially the Chen family, they particularly respected the princess of the former dynasty.
Therefore, even if dynasties change, even if she is no longer a princess, Qingyang still maintains her title of eldest princess and the dignity of a royal noblewoman.
Chen Jing had "preferential treatment" for Qingyang only after the other party considered him, while the large and small Jiankang family valued Chongqingyang's "luck" more.
Isn’t that a blessing?
It has survived three dynasties and still has such a long life.
Eighty-four years old, Confucius only lived to this age.
Seeing that Qingyang is still riding a horse and playing ball when he is over eighty years old, we know that this ancestor is still alive.
It is estimated that he can really live a long life.
And such a birthday star is auspicious.
As a junior, Gu Qing was definitely lucky and honored to receive the golden hairpin given by the longevity star when she was growing up!
As a martial artist, it was not easy for Chen Duan to think of his fiancée's hairpin ceremony, beg for help, and find a way to get a gold hairpin with auspicious meanings.
Chen Duan is indeed in a high and powerful position, but Qingyang is not an ordinary princess who has subjugated her country.
Renrui didn't need to kneel down when meeting the new emperor Chen Jing. He had both status and prestige among the powerful circles in the capital.
Even among the people, there may be legends about this old longevity star.
Chen Duan must have paid a high price to beg for Princess Qingyang's golden hairpin!
"Your Highness, Prince Liang, you are interested!"
Xiao is a woman, so she naturally understands the value of this "surprise".
She was still picking on Chen Duan at first, but seeing his intentions, she was somewhat moved.
She is getting older, but she is more beautiful;
The second marriage is indeed not as clean as the first marriage, but it is worse than having good intentions. Although he is still not worthy of his own Aqing, there is something remarkable about him.
"That's alright! As long as you like it, Qing!"
As an enlightened parent who loves and respects her daughter, Mrs. Xiao has only one request - as long as her daughter is happy!
Gu Yi is worthy of being Xiao's husband and Gu Qing's father. His thoughts are surprisingly consistent with Xiao's.
"As long as you like it, Qing!"
After seeing Chen Duan off, Gu Yi went to Gu Qingcheng's study, told her the matter, and said: "No matter what decision you make, my father and mother will support you!"
Hearing this, Gu Qingcheng smiled and said, "Father, how about I give you the nickname 'Qingcheng'?"
