Chapter 362: Tearing the Face (3)
As soon as Concubine Yu left, the crown princess was in a very happy mood, and her gaze at Gu Wanning was also extremely soft and kind: "Gu, it's not too early, hurry up and kneel down to serve tea!"
The eyesore has gone, and the remaining Anping County Wang brothers and sisters can't get out of the storm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gu Wanning responded with a smile, stepped forward, knelt on the prepared futon, and gave the prince tea first.
The prince was unhappy, but he couldn't say anything to his new daughter-in-law, so he took the tea with a faint expression, took a sip casually and put it aside.
The originally prepared meeting gift was very valuable, and the prince was not happy, so he wanted to change it.
The crown princess had already opened her mouth with a smile: "Didn't Your Highness say that you want to give the five-foot coral rewarded by your father to the Gu family? β
The prince had to laugh and say, "Lonely, I ordered someone to bring the coral." β
Soon, the coral was carried over.
Corals of about three feet are already very precious. Four-foot ones are even rarer. Five-foot-tall coral, almost the height of an adult, shimmers with a dazzling sheen. It's priceless!
Gu Wanning was the queen mother for several years in his previous life, and he had seen all kinds of good things.
Such a coral, although it was rare and precious, did not move her.
She thanked her calmly: "Thank you father for the generous reward, my daughter-in-law is flattered!"
β¦β¦ With this calm and calm appearance, where can you see that you are flattered? Even the word "generous reward" has a perfunctory meaning.
The prince was dissatisfied in his heart, but his face did not show it.
Gu Guanning kowtowed to the crown princess again: "Please drink tea for the concubine." β
As a mother-in-law, when her daughter-in-law serves tea, she has to make things difficult.
For example, talking about the same thing, asking the daughter-in-law to kneel for a while, or deliberately pretending to be unsteady, the teacup "accidentally" fell once, or dislike the tea is too hot or too cold, etc.
The crown princess had similar thoughts before, but now there is no such thought.
The crown princess immediately took the tea, and after taking a sip, she ordered the palace maid next to her to give a gift: "You don't lack gold, silver, jade, silk and satin and other things." However, as a mother-in-law, I always have to show my heart. β
"This is a silk shop, which is not very large, and always produces several thousand taels of silver a year. This is the title deed of the shop, you have taken it. After that, the annual rouge gouache and silver will also be settled. β
used a silk shop as a meeting gift, and the princess was really generous.
Gu Wanning smiled and thanked him: "Thank you for the reward." β
After the tea, Gu Guanning, the new daughter-in-law, also personally presented the needlework she made for the elders, a new dress and a pair of shoes.
Time was in a hurry, and Gu Wanning didn't have time to do it herselfβher female celebrity was mediocre, and she couldn't do fine needlework. These clothes and shoes were made by Linlang and a few maids who spent several days of hard work. In the end, she moved two stitches to mean something.
The crown princess knew it in her heart, and she was not polite, and routinely praised Gu Guanning's female celebrity a few words.
β¦β¦
Next, it's the turn of the peers.
Gu Guanning prepared a set of exquisite head and face jewelry for the three sisters of Hengyang County. The county lord of Hengyang called out to his sister-in-law with a smile and accepted the meeting gift.
The county lord of Yiyang was quite dissatisfied because of the fact that Concubine Yu was squeezed away. said lukewarmly: "I heard that the sister-in-law has a very large dowry. Unexpectedly, the meeting gift prepared by the sister-in-law was nothing more than that. β
The crown princess's face sank, and she was about to scold the county lord of Yiyang.
Gu Wanning had already restrained his smile and said lightly: "Whether I have a rich dowry or not, what does it have to do with you?"
Lord of Yiyang: "......"
"Some of my dowry was prepared for me by the Gu family, and some was given to me by my grandmother. There are dowry gifts sent by the prince's mansion that day, rewards from the emperor's grandfather and grandmother, and generous gifts from the concubines and concubines in the palace. β
"As long as I live, the dowry will be mine. When I have children, I will leave my dowry to them. If I don't live long, these dowries should be returned to the Gu family. β
"In short, no matter what, it has nothing to do with you. I don't know what you mean when you mention that I have a rich dowry? Do you think that my dowry is very large, so I should give you some?"
Lord of Yiyang: "......"
The county lord of Yiyang was only eleven years old, and his appearance was delicate and cute. Among the three sisters, she has always been the one who is most favored by the prince.
Because the crown princess had no daughters under her knees, she became the highest-ranking and most prominent county lord in the palace.
She never imagined that one day, someone would embarrass her in person!
The fair-skinned face of the county lord of Yiyang suddenly turned red, and a pair of aggrieved eyes appeared, looking at the prince, and calling in a coquettish voice: "Father, sister-in-law bullied me!"
The prince frowned, and unhappiness flashed in his eyes: "Gu, you are the eldest sister-in-law of Yiyang, Yiyang is still young, even if you speak incompletely, you should bear with it." β
Gu Wanning raised his eyebrows, and responded indifferently: "Father's words, please forgive my daughter-in-law for not agreeing!"
"Yiyang is eleven years old this year, he is no longer a child, and he has reached the age of sensibility. Talking like this to his eldest sister-in-law today, who knows that he will not use the same tone to contradict his elders in the future?"
Moreover, Yiyang disliked that the meeting gift was too light, and mentioned that his daughter-in-law's dowry was rich, which seemed greedy and calculating. Although she is not the son of her father, she is also an upright county lord in the end. If such a character is passed on, even the face of the father will be dishonored. β
"If my father really feels sorry for Yiyang, he should discipline her more. lest she fall into the reputation of a goddaughter in the future. β
Prince: "......"
This Gu Guanning!
This unforgiving mouth!
He only opened his mouth to defend the county lord of Yiyang, but Gu Guanning even counted him......!
The county lord of Yiyang was originally pretending to cry, but now he is really crying: "Father, I didn't calculate my sister-in-law's dowry!
People are terrible, she is a dignified county lord, and she can't fall into the notoriety of greedy for money.
The king of Anping couldn't hold it back, and said angrily with a calm face: "The second sister is still young, why should the sister-in-law speak so viciously." If it spreads out, the second sister's name will be damaged, what kind of face will she have to go out to meet people in the future?"
Gu Wanning's eyes swept over lightly, and the corners of his lips pulled out a sneering arc: "It turns out that the second brother also knows the importance of fame. That being the case, why did he slander his brother and insult the reputation of His Royal Highness Taisun in the Jiaofang Hall that day?"
King of Anping: "......"
