Chapter 364: Basic Understanding
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhang Mei concluded that the rural man Gu Zi had married seemed to be of some assistance to the Gu family. When they arrived later, she couldn’t afford to neglect them. Reluctantly, she decided to let them sit at the main table.
As Zhang Mei pondered this, she continued to entertain the Gong family’s relatives and friends, her chin unconsciously lifting in a display of pride.
Gong Zhan, the prospective groom, arrived rather late. As he stepped into the reception room, he was greeted by an astonishing sight, causing his brow to furrow in confusion.
His family’s usually haughty relatives were either engaged in conversation with Lin Miao or accompanying the Gu couple in their drinking. There was no trace of the disdainful attitude they had previously shown towards the Gu family.
Most of the people who arrived with Gong Zhan were children of officials, both male and female, all young. Like most people, they had looked down on Lin Miao since they learned of her return.
Although some of them, like Gong Xin, had been jealous of Gu Zi’s excellence, they were also equally captivated by it. Because when Gu Zi stood with Gong Zhan, they made an undeniable match.
Lin Miao, who came from the countryside, of course, couldn’t compare to Gu Zi. Gu Zi was both beautiful and talented, once the most outstanding child in the entire compound. Every family hoped for a daughter like Gu Zi, and if they had a daughter like her, they wouldn’t even want to exchange her for a son.
Therefore, although they were both daughters of the Gu family, without any significant achievements, Gu Zi made people feel that the marriage between the Gu and Gong families was more respectable, giving the impression that the Gu family was not merely clinging to the Gong family.
However, if Lin Miao were the one to marry, the peers in the compound would feel sorry for Gong Zhan, the outstanding one. They would sigh that Lin Miao was not a match for him, and inevitably look down on him.
The young masters and ladies also gradually received some important information after they arrived, their expressions changing from disdain to surprise.
