Chapter 55: Painstaking Efforts
Although the dowry was not a sensation, because the Xiao Gu family was the center of rumors in the capital recently, there were still many people who came to see the excitement, and the atmosphere was very warm.
After the dowry was properly placed, Xiao Donghai and Xiao Jiangbei entered the Gu family, and the housekeeper presented the gift list, Gu Mingyang naturally didn't care about this kind of thing, just handed it to Mrs. Lu beside him, and turned around and gossiped with Xiao Donghai and Xiao Jiangbei's father and son.
After Mrs. Lu finished the gift list, she suddenly found that there seemed to be two more boxes of items in the hall, so she pointed and asked, "Why are there two more boxes of things?" But you accidentally got in? β
The housekeeper glanced at it and said with a smile: "No, these are two boxes of precious jewelry, which our second young master added later." β
When Mrs. Lu heard the words of precious jewelry, her heart was hot, and she secretly said that this is just another gift from the Xiao family, but I don't know what these two boxes of precious jewelry are? Other people's dowry, the most abundant, can have ten boxes of precious jewelry, it is the sky, why is the foundation of the Xiao family more rich than those princely families? How many good things did the crown princess pull into the house?
Just thinking about it, I heard Gu Mingyang also ask, "What's the matter with these two boxes of jewelry?" When did Donghai pay attention to these face-saving jobs? β
Xiao Donghai laughed and said, "Where is my face-saving work?" These two boxes of jewels were obtained by Abei in the border attack on the Northern Hun tribe, I think this was added to the dowry, one is precious, the other is also the child's heart, and the third is that this is a trophy, and it is also a good fortune, so I agreed. β
"I see." Gu Mingyang nodded, feeling both comfort and guilt in his heart. sighed: "Jiangbei has a heart, it's just ...... Alas! I really don't hide it from the East China Sea, my mother has been seriously ill in the past two days. When she was in the countryside, she had been living with her little girl, and now she has her by her side and can still support her, so she ...... This wedding period, are we ...... Alas! β
"Oh? The old lady is seriously ill? Xiao Donghai's face also became solemn, and he frowned and said, "Mingyang, you say so." I can also understand that, in that case, how long do you want to postpone your wedding? β
"This ......" How does Master Gu know when Mrs. Zhou's illness will be cured? And the Xiao family attaches so much importance to this marriage. What Xiao Donghai said was so reasonable, he was embarrassed to delay the marriage for too long, not to mention that it was the Gu family who was afraid of long nights and dreams now, not the Xiao family.
"General Xiao is relieved. As long as our old lady improves. I immediately married my two children. Mrs. Lu took over the conversation with a smile, she just heard that the two boxes of jewelry were snatched by Xiao Jiangbei from the border pass, her heart was hot, and at this moment, she looked at the young man sitting opposite with no expression, imagining how beautiful it would be if this promising child could be his son-in-law in the future? Then the eyes became more and more warm and kind.
Xiao Jiangbei is a person who has been born and died countless times on the battlefield, how can such a mang-like eye not be detected? At the moment, I was a little unhappy in my heart, not to mention that the Gu family postponed the marriage. Who knows if they deliberately made it up their minds to hide from Kira? So after thinking about it, he suddenly stood up and said coldly: "Since the old lady is seriously ill. As a junior, he should go to visit. β
"Abei must not be rude."
Xiao Donghai sank his face, but it was a pity that he didn't accumulate any father's majesty on weekdays, and this son was not obedient, so this word had no effect, Xiao Jiangbei was still standing there like a javelin, looking like "he won't stop until he reaches his goal".
"Hehe, it's rare for a child to be filial, Linglong, you can take Xiao Qianhu to the old lady's house in the backyard." Looking at Xiao Jiangbei standing in the center of the ground, what else could Master Gu say? It's not good to let the other person stand all the time, right? What's more, he also felt guilty about this matter, so he only thought about it a little and agreed.
"This kid is used to being in the border gate, and I can't control him, so that Mingyang and Mrs. can laugh." Xiao Donghai still pretended to explain there, but he didn't feel that this was a big deal.
"It's the same, Kira grew up in the countryside, and I haven't disciplined much, so it's also a wild personality." Old man Gu was drinking tea here: You have a willful son who is not obedient, and I have a top-notch and strong wild girl, let's not say anyone, understand and understand.
*****************
"What do you say? That idiot made two boxes of jewelry as a dowry? β
In Mrs. Zhou's house, Gu Qiluo heard the report of Chunyu and stood up immediately.
Chunyu nodded slightly: "Yes, the slave was hiding outside the back window at the time, and I heard General Xiao inside say so, saying that it was a trophy, and it was a good luck." β
"What a fart." The corners of Gu Qiluo's distressed mouth twitched, and he slowly sat back in the chair with his heart covered: "Stupid, big stupid, two boxes of jewelry, how much is it worth?" He...... And he sent it. β
"Girl, this is also the meaning of the second master's love for you, this dowry is heavy, and the wife naturally dare not look down on you." Chunyu saw that her girl's distressed tears were about to fall, so she hurriedly comforted her.
"Even if the dowry is not heavy, my wife doesn't dare to look down on me." Gu Qiluo was so angry that he gasped, stood up and walked a few steps on the ground, Fang sat down and sneered: "No, such a bowl of fragrant braised pork belly, I must not let that evil woman swallow it alone, I have to salvage a few pieces of meat to say anything." β
As soon as the words fell, I heard Amber's voice outside ringing out urgently: "Girl, Second Prince Xiao has come to visit the old lady." β
"Good time." Gu Qiluo got up with a murderous aura and was ready to let her fiancΓ© open her mind, but as soon as she saw the handsome young man who strode in, and saw the warm and surprise smile on the other party's face, her heart turned into a puddle of spring water in a blink of an eye.
Forget it, Chunyu is right, he is like this, and he is also thinking about me.
The eldest girl said silently in her heart, and then she died down. She came to Mrs. Zhou's side and screamed softly, but saw that her grandmother was still asleep, so she had to say to Xiao Jiangbei helplessly: "Thank you for coming to visit, it's just that my grandmother has been sleepy for the past two days, and I don't dare to let her stay in bed all the time, so I just helped people out, thinking about laughing on the couch for a while, but it was less than two quarters of an hour, and I fell asleep again." β
Xiao Jiangbei knew that his sweetheart used to be dependent on Mrs. Zhou, and he loved the house and Wuxia, and he also cared a little more about the old lady, and hurriedly said when he heard the words: "When did you get sick?" Did you invite a good doctor to come and see you? How so? β
Gu Qiluo shook his head and said: "It's an illness that started five days ago, and I invited several doctors, at first I only said that the old man was old and unaccustomed to the water and soil, but later he didn't say so, but he couldn't say why." β
Xiao Jiangbei heard this. Hurriedly said solemnly: "In this case, I will go to the prince's mansion when I go back, take a look and talk to His Royal Highness the prince, and ask a wise imperial doctor to come over and treat the old lady." Don't be anxious, girl, this is the most likely to cause illness, you don't see you for a few days, you have lost weight. β
Amber and Pearl bowed their heads, pretending not to hear. Gu Qiluo was also a little embarrassed, and secretly said that you should also pay attention to the influence, what is wrong with being thinner? I'm happy with my current figure, okay?
Xiao Jiangbei also noticed that his straightforwardness was a bit abrupt, the two strange girls were about to hang down to their stomachs, he was really tired of these restraints, thinking that the marriage date might be postponed, his mood was even more depressed, but he was not a good talker, he wanted to find something to say a few more words to Gu Qiluo, stay here for a while, but he couldn't find it, because he sat sullenly for a while, he stood up and said: "Then I'll go find a doctor this afternoon, the old lady is sleeping, I won't bother, and I'll leave." β
Gu Qiluo was waiting for him to say this, what she wanted to say to Xiao Jiangbei, she couldn't say it here, so when she heard this, she also stood up and smiled: "Thank you for your concern, I'll send you." β
Seeing Gu Qiluo Yingying get up, Xiao Jiangbei felt that the depression in his heart had eased a little, so he turned around and went out, waiting for Gu Qiluo to come up at the door, and then walked side by side with her, and asked sullenly: "Is it your idea to postpone the wedding?" β
"Yes." Gu Qiluo agreed, and then explained: "Grandmother has raised me for so many years, I can't just take care of myself at this time and leave her alone in the mansion. β
"You don't have to say it, it's your idea." Xiao Jiangbei nodded heavily, he didn't want to listen to Gu Qiluo and himself for this reason, a piece of filial piety, what reason do you need? All he had to do was know that it was his lover's decision.
Gu Qiluo was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Xiao Jiangbei meant, his heart was hot, and after going down the steps, he whispered: "Why did you send all the jewelry here as a dowry gift?" It's also too precious. β
"That's for you." Xiao Jiangbei said solemnly, and then looked at Gu Qiluo: "Wait a minute, I will explain it to Master Gu before I leave." β
Gu Qiluo looked up at him in amazement, and saw Xiao Jiangbei also looking at him with a smile, and then said in a low voice: "Since I can't secretly give you silver coins and jewelry, I will simply give it openly." β
"You ......" Gu Qiluo only felt that her eyes were hot: Xiao Jiangbei had been thinking so hard about her, she couldn't help but shake her head and said softly: "It doesn't have to be like this. β
"Yes, it's easier for you to have it at hand. What's more, now I don't know when you will be able to enter my Xiao family. Speaking of this, Xiao Jiangbei's expression was a little gloomy, obviously he really didn't want to postpone the wedding at all.
"I heard that the snow disaster in Yunzhou, many people suffered, thousands of victims fled into the capital, twenty or thirty people starved to death every day, the government disaster relief is not effective, are you willing to do a good job with me for the victims?"
Looking at Xiao Jiangbei's expression, Gu Qiluo was very happy in his heart, who doesn't want his lover to be attached to him? Especially since the two of them made up their minds, they really miss each other, but their identities are here, not to mention dating every day, it's good to see each other every three or five days, just like that, it's a big rebellion in this world. Therefore, the eldest girl directly said her thoughts. (To be continued......)
