People from the county are flocking over, following along and congratulating: "Is Scholar Gu going to the Xu Family to deliver engagement gifts? Congratulations, congratulations, wishing Scholar Gu and Miss Xu a harmonious and beautiful union, get married soon, and have a son early."
The folks in the county aren't very literate, and even fewer can say auspicious words. Mostly, they speak straightforwardly, and occasionally there are a dozen or so who can say things like 'may you live happily ever after.'
Gu Dexing has a somewhat introverted personality, and with everyone saying this, his face turned red. He clasped his hands in a salute to respond to those congratulating him.
Mrs. Chen shot him a disdainful look, wondering if his mouth had been sawed off, why couldn't he speak?
But these are all poor souls, not worth talking to, yet she had better speak more with Young Master Dou, the mighty gold mountain.
