My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 308 The Big Wedding
Yang Changchu spoke softly and gently, but to Erzhu Yuechan, his voice was firm and resounding, which made her lose some of her momentum.

She waited bitterly for nine years in Taesan County. How many nine-year periods does a woman have in her life?

In comparison, I seem to be much luckier than her?

But he didn't want to admit defeat so easily. He originally planned to give Yang Changchu, this "local bully," a hard time in advance, but he didn't expect to run into such a tough opponent.

Biting her lower lip in resentment, Erzhu Yuechan could only stubbornly insist, "My marriage to Erlang was bestowed by the Emperor!"

Yang Changchu couldn't help but chuckle a few times. Although Erzhu Yuechan had come to his door and boasted arrogantly, he could sense that she didn't have much malice. She just wanted to emphasize and show off her status and position.

It's not jealousy, it's just wanting to 'show off'?
The mindset of a child.

"You...why are you laughing?"

Yang Changchu gradually stopped laughing, his bright eyes looking at her, and said softly, "Whether my marriage to you is or not, young lady, is bestowed by the Emperor, what does it have to do with me?"

"Does that mean that Erlang is not the one I love, even if it weren't for the Emperor's decree?"

Erzhu Yuechan pursed her lips, unable to speak, and unsure of what to say.

We've lost, we've lost everything!
I don't know where I went wrong, but I just lost.

She felt like a spoiled child, trying to prove how much she liked Gao Yu through everything she did.

Yang Changchu, however, had surpassed him in terms of skill level.

Some people practice Buddhism and strictly adhere to the rules and regulations, bowing to the Buddha whenever they see him. For example, Xiao Pusa in the south built many temples and even issued a strict order that monks could not eat "three kinds of pure meat" or have any meat at all. He even used Buddhist ideas to govern the country, trying to use everything visible to the naked eye to prove how devout he was.

Some people cultivate themselves, but they find that originally there is nothing, so where can dust settle? Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart.

"Both of us admire Erlang and are fortunate enough to serve him. Why should we compare ourselves in terms of superiority?"

Yang Changchu took a step forward and took Erzhu Yuechan's arm. "Erlang is a hero of our time. How many women admire him? It is already a blessing from heaven that you can be by his side."

"Erlang has many things to do. He must live up to the expectations of His Majesty and the Prime Minister, and he must be responsible for the people of the three prefectures under his jurisdiction. Why should we add to Erlang's worries? Young lady, you don't want Erlang to be frowning all day long because of household chores, do you?"

Erzhu Yuechan felt a pang of guilt. Despite her resentment, she had to admit that Yang Changchu's words made perfect sense.

Before she came, her mother also taught her.

Any man who reaches Gao Yu's position and possesses his current power will have no shortage of women around him.

If you want to win Gao Yu's favor, you can't make a scene; the more you make a scene, the more you'll push away the man you love.

This is her mother's precious life experience.

how……

Yang Changchu is only the same age as me, yet she knows so much, just like my mother.

"I was reckless."

Erzhu Yuechan took a deep breath and stopped putting on airs. "What the young lady of the Yang family said is absolutely right. We should not make things difficult for Erlang."

"Young lady, you must be tired from your journey. Let me do my best to be a good host. I heard that the Princess Consort of Guangping has given birth to a son for Erlang, and Princess Yongtai has also come. I have never met either of them before..."

As early as when he set off with Erzhu Yuechan, Gao Yue immediately sent someone to report to Gao Yu.

Erzhu Yuechan is backed by the Erzhu clan, and Yang Changchu is a daughter of the Yang family. Both of them have significant backgrounds within Gao Yu's interest group, which would be extremely disadvantageous for Gao Yu if a real fight broke out.

Gao Yu rushed over in a hurry.

But Gao Yue was hiding outside.

"How is it?" "I don't know."

Gao Yue shook his head, "It seems there's nothing serious. Now it's up to you, brother."

"Go, go, go."

Gao Yu laughed and cursed as he raised his foot to kick Gao Yue, who dodged and ran away with a grin.

With Gao Yu here, nothing will go wrong.

The imagined hair-pulling scene did not occur, and the two got along quite well, which was not unexpected for Gao Yu. After all, his time together had made him realize that Yang Changchu was a very stable woman with a temperament and magnanimity no less than that of a man.

"Jiro!!"

When Erzhu Yuechan saw the man she had been longing for appear before her, she immediately jumped and skipped to his side, and then rushed into his arms.

Seeing this, Yang Changchu's eyes flashed with envy. She could not learn the free and easy spirit and enthusiasm of the grassland women.

Gao Yu put his arm around Erzhu Yuechan and gently stroked her back. He then looked up at Yang Changchu and saw that the latter was pouting slightly, as if expressing dissatisfaction.
She is, after all, a woman.

Gao Yu also made up his mind that he owed a lot and would have to make up for it in various ways, even if the value was not necessarily equal.

But you need to reassure the other person through your actions.

This can also be seen as expressing one's attitude.

………………

Yang Changchu ultimately couldn't be as unconventional and unconcerned about worldly opinions as Erzhu Yuechan; she remained obediently in Taishan County.

Erzhu Yuechan, however, followed Gao Yu back to Dongyang City without any hesitation.

The main force arrived a little later.

Gao Yu finally met the child he had never met before.

The chubby little boy, with such fair skin, showed no fear when held in Gao Yu's arms. Instead, he stared wide-eyed at everyone, curiously looking around.

"As expected of a general's son, he has extraordinary courage at such a young age!"

"Of course! Like begets like. The son of such an outstanding person as the General will surely be an outstanding person in the future!"

Although Zheng Dache was not Gao Yu's legal wife, this child was Gao Yu's first child. For his subordinates, the birth of this child was a reassurance!

Cui Xian then spoke up, "His Majesty has already set a wedding date for the General, and it is time to begin preparations."

Gao Yu was in Qingzhou, while Erzhu Yuechan's family was in Xiurongchuan, Sizhou. They were practically worlds apart, so while etiquette was still necessary, it was impossible to follow it completely.

If the marriage takes place in Luoyang.

Indeed, it could be a grand and glorious affair. Gao Yu could bring out the Xuanjia Army and the Imperial Guards as his honor guard, allowing all the people of Luoyang to witness his wedding and Erzhu Yuechan to marry into the Tian Ce Mansion in a grand and glorious manner.

Gao Yu wanted to keep things simple, but given his status and position, if he didn't do it in a grand and dignified manner, it wouldn't just be him who would lose face, but also the staff and officials of the Tian Ce Mansion would lose face as well.

Once he becomes the ruler of a region, he can no longer consider issues solely from his own perspective.

The people under your command also need to be taken into account.

Gao Yu then wrote another letter and ordered it to be delivered to Luoyang by fast horse.

This is an official document requesting Yuan Ziyou to grant a marriage!
