Chapter 360: Crimson Gift List
Gu Mu was relieved and said, "Isn't this exactly what you thought? ”
Gu Zizhong wanted to refute, but if he thought about it carefully, it was really like that.
She has always wanted to live a stable life with Zhu Shizi, and she doesn't want to run around anymore, let alone enter the palace to intrigue.
So that's what she wants.
After Gu Zizhong hesitated, he smiled happily and did not speak again.
Gu Mu said: "It is a good thing that Zhu Shizi has no military power. Now the emperor is too suspicious, and he is like a ...... to everyone."
After looking around and making sure that there was no one else, Gu Mu then lowered her voice and said, "Be on guard like a thief." We must not touch that brow. The Zhu family has no military power, and the emperor will naturally rest assured of them. ”
"But......" Gu Zizhong was still unwilling, "It's just a matter of letting Zhu Shizi hand over the military power, how can he hand it over to Yan Pingnan." Mother, you also know that Zhu Shizi can be oppressed by this surnamed Yan a lot. ”
"Soldiers have been like this since ancient times. Gu Mu pointed to the gift list in her hand, "Let's see what there is." ”
As soon as his mother mentioned this, Gu Zizhong suddenly became interested, and flew directly to his mother's side with a strong step, lowered his head, and came closer to see.
Gu's mother opened the gift list, and the golden text on the red gift list looked very festive.
It was five hundred taels of gold and five thousand taels of silver.
No, not that much.
Before, Zhu Wangye said that it was three hundred taels of gold and six hundred taels of silver.
Three hundred becomes five hundred, six hundred becomes five thousand.
That's a frighteningly large number.
Gu Zi said heavily: "This is too much. An ordinary household can only pay twenty or thirty taels of silver after a year's hard work, and it is enough to eat and drink. How long will it take us to spend our five thousand taels?"
Gu's mother was stunned and stared at her daughter.
It wasn't like a word that could come out of her daughter's mouth.
Gu Zizhong also felt that what he said was a bit inconsistent with his identity, so he closed his mouth.
Her words were also learned from the female official beside her in her previous life.
But seriously, Gu Zizhong and his father discussed Lord Lin's bribe silver before, what is 10,000,000.
That's just a matter of talking and talking about it.
So 10,000,000, even if it's a million or not, it's all about talking and thinking about it.
It's different now, this is the dowry list, and the real money is about to arrive.
Five thousand taels of silver......
This Gu Zizhong didn't dare to think about it, how to put so much money?
Besides, she lives at home all year round, in the deep palace, that is, to command.
When it comes to real money, she can't compare to the officials and servants below.
So when she heard this number, she still seemed unconfident.
Gu's mother seemed to be laughing at a poor ghost: "You are still the county lord, you haven't even seen this money, what else have you seen?"
Gu Zizhong was reprimanded, and he was even more unconfident, and he didn't have the tone of a genius when he spoke: "Oh, my mother just has to say it." ”
Gu's mother also pondered, and said to herself: "But just such a little money, I exchanged the military power in the hands of the Zhu family." This is indeed a big loss for the Zhu family. ”
What kind of ruthlessness is Zhu Shizi making, willing to make such an exchange?
Although Gu Zizhong felt quite flattered, after all, the prince was willing to exchange like this, which showed that Zhu Shizi valued her very much.
But this ......
It's a bit silly indeed.
Gu Zi was upset in his heart and complained for Zhu Shizi.
Gu's mother muttered again: "Ninety cows, ninety cloth." ”
This is the same number as before.
Gu's mother smiled happily and said, "Our Gu family has also purchased some fields in their hometown, and there are also flat lands in the south, so that these cattle can go back to their hometowns to farm." And half of these cloths were sent back to the countryside to make some clothes for the doormen and villagers in the countryside. They haven't had new clothes in a long time. ”
Gu Zizhong said: "Mother has returned to her hometown this time, and she has gained a lot!"
Gu's mother sighed: "This year's autumn harvest is not good, where do the people in the countryside get the food for the winter?"
Gu Zizhong stopped talking.
It seems that the mother is serious.
Gu's mother looked at the gift list, and then said: "A pair of red gold bracelets, a box of agate stones, a box of emeralds, and a box of rubies......"
It took me a long time to finish.
Sure enough, before Zhu Wangye had said that he would give the Gu family thirty boxes of gems.
Now that's so much to put together, almost.
Not to mention the amount, these gold and silver things alone are enough to show the sincerity of people.
The red gold things are all gold, and they are about the same as the five hundred taels of gold in front of them.
And these jewels are even more valuable, just one can be sold in exchange for a month's food for almost a villager, right?
Now that the grain harvest is not good everywhere, it is better to take some gems and sell them for grain.
Gu Zizhong had this idea, and she saw that her mother's face became slightly kinder, so she said this idea.
Gu's mother looked at her daughter and was very moved, after all, the countryside is Gu's mother's countryside.
It can also be said to be a mother's family.
The life of the mother's family is hard, and the daughter is so concerned.
Gu's mother herself felt ashamed of herself.
After all, the things on this gift list were originally for her daughter Gu Zizhong.
Gu Mu said: "These things are yours, you have the final say." ”
Gu Zizhong said "oops" and said, "Isn't this all won by my mother? If I was in the capital, without the help of my mother and father, I am afraid that Zizhong would not have this fate with the prince." ”
Gu's mother sighed and nodded again and again.
Gu Zizhong said: "Didn't my father and mother go back to the hometown at this time to see it? I can't use these cloths alone, so I might as well give them to the villagers." ”
Gu's mother affirmed: "Okay, but this time the master went to the capital, and I was the only one who went with these things." After you marry the prince. ”
Gu Zi nodded: "Just listen to my mother." ”
Gu's mother hurriedly handed the gift list to Gu Zizhong and said, "Look again, there is something on this gift list that you are not satisfied with." ”
Gu Zizhong took the gift list, looked at it carefully, nodded again and again, and his face was as refreshing and moving as a clear mountain spring flowing away.
"No, so many, I'm afraid I've never seen it in my life. Gu Zizhong was very satisfied, "Where are so many things?"
Gu's mother said: "Zhu Shizi just said that he wanted to go back to Lord Futai's mansion, maybe this thing is there!"
Gu Zi said heavily: "It's better to set a date as soon as possible, so as not to put it in someone's place, and people will hate it." ”
Gu's mother said: "The master has not come back, and there is no one in our family to call the shots, how can we talk about things?"
Gu Zizhong was annoyed.
Sure enough, something went wrong.
