78 Drying the dowry

Before the arrival of the lively wax moon, the crown princess once again refreshed everyone's vision, and the seven most profitable industries under her name - Danqing Pavilion, Satin Silk Pavilion, Bright Pavilion, Liuying Pavilion, Gongqiao Pavilion, Jiukangtang and Sichun Winery have all become 'joint-stock system', she herself only accounts for 30%, and the rest of the profits are filial piety to the country and relatives, and even domestic servants have a share. The emperor rewarded her and authorized seven families to be imperial merchants, exempt from business taxes, and gave priority to choosing apprentices in Hongdu. In particular, the doctor who raised the status of Jiukangtang, and did not save enough thousands of pulse cases in Jiukangtang's national inspection in the future, did not want to enter the Tai Hospital.

Such a generous, selfless, and virtuous princess has a reputation that is as high as the sky, and even the subordinates walk with wind and honor. And Gu Yi, who can really understand this innovative business behavior, smashed the most beloved jasper cup in his hand for the first time, and his jealousy was like a hundred ants devouring his heart. Yuyi left her three little grandchildren, hugged her and shouted heartily, she was very moved, and from then on, she looked at the prince coldly, no matter how she looked at him, it was not pleasing to the eye.

After the New Year, it is the spring festival that attracts the most attention.

As soon as the apricot list came out, Gu Yi had no suspense, and the drinks and dishes on the day of Zhishuang Zhai were all free, and then half price for a month. Gu Xin finally had no accident this time, and he was the first leader in the second class. Gu Wenkai actually played extraordinarily, and the crane tail hit the same jinshi. Gu Jue was twenty-five in the second class, and he sullenly made the same year as Gu Wenkai, the sixth prodigal brother he had never looked at in his eyes. The Gu family has four jinshi, including champions and leaders, and they are in the limelight for a while, which doubles the number of applicants for Lingde, and even the market is better with several younger brothers who have not yet decided on marriage.

Lai's brother-in-law is a fellow jinshi, and he is also very good, and he is ready to marry a wife and go home to become a Qipin Zhi County. Qiao Yu won the position of Tanhua based on his appearance, and Qiao Ge finally relented and gave him the eldest granddaughter of Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. Qiao Qi vented his strength after hearing that Gu Cici was married, and asked Wu Shenyang to go out for a trip, and the two were ready to fight again in the next spring.

After the apricot list, it is naturally another joy in life - family affairs.

Gu Xin, who was in a difficult situation, finally fell into the Ye family and married Ye Momo. Gu Jue decided that his father's boss, the youngest daughter of the Nie Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, wanted to call Qiao Juan Fujun the third brother. The marriages of Shilang Gu Wenhui, Eleven Lang Gu Wenshen and Thirteen Lang Gu Wenhuai were all decided under the auspices of Gu Wenkai, there were businessmen's families and official gentry families, and the common feature was that the girls' brothers were their classmates in Lingdri, and the fertilizer did not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Gu Wenheng was able to marry the seventeenth Niangchi from the Weiguo Mansion! Gu Ci was very curious about this gossip, and Ganyu also wanted to laugh when he said it, both of them learned cooking in Hongdu, and they taught them a husband and wife, so they had an intersection. The fourth lady originally planned to pair Gu Wenheng and a certain concubine of his younger brother Qiao Yan, but after Gu Wenkai found out, he went around Hongdu and tried to match this pair of brothers and sisters who both love food. Chi Rui was already thinking about marrying the Gu family, and felt that it was better to send a concubine over to talk than nothing, so he agreed. Chi Rui also followed this shareholder trend and asked Gu Wenkai to solve the two daughters of his family, eighteen and nineteen, and now there is only Chi Ai who has not yet arrived.

When Gu Ci went to visit Chi Rui after Chi Qiyu left, he also heard him sigh that the home was clean, and she teased that the warehouse was much cleaner.

The family affairs of the Eighth Emperor Prince were determined to be the only daughter of the Rite Ministry Ran's servant, and this position of servant was taken over from the father-in-law of the Nine Emperor Princes, Master Gu Si. After Gu Ci found out, she complained to her brother, "The Ministry of Rites is a relative, so there are many bastards." ”

The seventh princess was named Pingyang, and picked a Tongjinshi surnamed Zhang in this apricot list, mediocre in all aspects, no father and no mother, grew up from a hundred family meals, the clan was kind, and when he grew up, he gave him his father's share of the field yield, so that he could study all the way. Gu Ci praised Liang Cai's choice of son-in-law is really affordable, Zhang Yuma's future is not important, this kind of person knows how to be grateful the most, and there is no cynical radical thoughts, and he will definitely be very good to Pingyang in the future.

The eighth princess was named Yuyang, and she wanted to marry Gu Hui, Xia Bufan, and Qiao Tanhua without success, and she chose the latter aggrievedly in Sui Qian and Ke Jie, who was 'retired' by Yuan Jin, and she could happily be a concubine with Niu Tan a few months later.

Sui Jin and Sui Qian are currently unattended, but Sui Jin already has a concubine.

The two sisters of the Ren family are also famous, and it is a little embarrassing that the fiancés of the two were once regarded as the reserve of Gu Ci Junma, Ren Wen Huiding kissed Chi Qiyu, and Ren Shushen heard that he was discussing marriage with Wu Shenyang.

Among the other people Gu Ci knew, Liu Mengmeng successfully went to Niu Hua on PIA, and he got what he wanted, Ye Rui will marry Yuan Yuchai, and Yuan Chuan will marry Cui Hang. Is this an internal solution within the clan circle?

***********************

After Gu Yi's marriage, it was Gu Ci who was in full swing.

Yuyi threw her grandson to the pregnant woman Qin Xiuyong, and took her new daughter-in-law Ma Jiaqi and Wu Shenqiu, who came back to help, and rolled up her sleeves to go into battle in person. Xiao Lu pulled a cart of antiquities for his granddaughter to make a dowry, and Gu Yao, Gu Chong and Gu Ao, who were thousands of miles away, also prepared a large number of makeup, and the queen mother even spoke, Gu Ci's dowry was given casually, and there was no cap.

The prospective groom was happily busy repairing the East Palace according to the little girl's requirements and budget, and almost tortured Lu Shangshu and Yu Shilang of the Yingyi Division, and the craftsmen who loved to make a fortune at the bottom were even less oil and water, and they were afraid that they would not meet the requirements of the princess and would have nothing to eat in the future. In fact, Gu Ci only wants to renovate the clean room of the East Palace, the three key points of the flush toilet, shower and bath, as for the hot and cold water faucet, you can do it if you can, and forget it if it's too late. However, in view of her very strict and strict safety requirements for sewers and hot water circulation, the craftsmen who are accustomed to fooling the master who do not know how to do it see the revised drawings and cost budget of Old Man Tian want to cry without tears, only a thin layer of oil and water, and they have to be carefully crafted, how long has it been since they have done such a tiring and lossy job!

Lu Shangshu admires the princess's habit of doing things very much, and wants to promote this practice in the future, but the people below are not skilled enough, so he is so anxious to pull off a lot of white hair. Fortunately, the squire is the father of Second Lady Gu, and he understands the habits of the crown princess, and actively supports the suggestions and requirements of the crown princess, so that the progress of the project is passable.

The prince with a splendid spring flower has recently changed his high-minded style, and he is approachable and gentle like a change of core, and only when he is picky about the progress of the camp division does he completely explode his premarital anxiety.

The prince's expectations for the wedding are quite high, he personally inquired about every furnishing and utensils in the East Palace, the dormitory was completely changed to be exactly the same as Yin Wuju, the golden silk nanmu of a water, even the soft pillows, thick mattresses, bamboo mats, and large pillows are required to fully meet Gu Ci's preferences, and in other places, even if the pattern of the window screen is rich peony or dragon and phoenix, the pomegranate tree is eight years old or ten years old.

The cheating and slippery craftsmen have been crippled several times, and the reason why they were not killed is because of the blessing of the crown princess!

As for the chief administrator of the Ming Court, he led the attendants in the East Palace, in order to survive the darkness before dawn, he had been drinking Yellow Lotus Tea for more than a month, and all his belts were loosened.

***********************

The Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Race is not the highlight of this year, this day is the day when the dowry of the lord of Yuanyi County enters the East Palace, and the mighty red carpet is paved from the Qingyi Courtyard to the front of the Mingde Hall of the main hall of the East Palace.

The soldiers were neatly armoured and the first-class Wurate Mansion lined up on both sides of the red carpet, and the people could watch the county lord's dowry outside the queue. Ten miles of red makeup was carried into the East Palace from the first, and the door of the warehouse where the last one was carried has not yet opened.

Imperial objects, antiques, famous calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry, brocade cloth, a dazzling array of everything. In addition to the first two lifts are the queen mother and the emperor of the jade Ruyi and Fu Shouhai, from the second to the tenth lift are the founding emperors of the previous dynasties to the Xiao family or the Xie family of bronze ballast vessels, the above Jun Wen seal carving after hundreds of years of vicissitudes.

This kind of dowry, where can anyone compare? Except for the royal family, who would dare to take such a dowry?

The crowd of onlookers on the roadside cheered, and the few who asked to marry sour grapes stood far away. Of course, Gu Yi, who was the most envious, jealous and hateful, was sitting in Gu Ci's boudoir with his palms pinched, his face was twisted as if he was crying and laughing, listening to the servants come in and sing over and over again.

In addition to the things given by the master and parents, the Empress Dowager also sent a lot of private collections, as well as Chi Rui, Ren He, Xia Ji and other elders who looked at her differently also added makeup, and the things sent by the subordinates and the housekeepers in various places also made up for it, Gu Pu seemed to have a blood, but Yuyi folded it into something of equivalent value and made it up for her nieces and nephews. Not to mention the overexcited groom-to-be, who moved all his private treasury to her, so stuffing six hundred lifts is simply trivial.

The sisters and girlfriends who came to add the box were full of praise, and they pretended to be shy, she really didn't know that there would be so many, is the treasury of the East Palace big enough......

***********************

The night is the last night that Yuyi and her daughter sleep, and tomorrow after receiving the canonization edict, there will be a difference between monarchs and ministers.

When the mother hugged her daughter and cried first, she grew up in pain, and was ready to stay until she was twenty years old to marry her daughter, but she was going to get married before she was thirteen years old!

After crying, you have to explain what you should explain.

"You don't have to worry about it, child...... If Brother Yuan is willing to wait for you to grow up, it's a good thing, if you ...... If you feel uncomfortable, don't see those annoying things! "Regardless of whether it is a concubine or a concubine, Yuan Yi, as the prince, must have a son." Brother Yuan spoils you now, but who knows when he will ...... You can't be too willful, no matter how strong your feelings are, they will wear away. ”

Thinking that if her daughter married an obedient and gentle little horse, how could she encounter such a problem, if she took Xiao Xiao's old path, Yuyi hugged her daughter and cried again.

"Don't worry, mother, I'll take care of it." Gu Ci hugged Yuyi and wiped her tears, knowing that it was useless for her to say anything about this question, she had to see what Yuan Yi would do in the future.

"When you get to the palace, don't stuff any grievances in your stomach, if you have something to tell your family, your father and mother will definitely make decisions for you!" In the end, a thousand words only turned into this one.

Yuyi, who finally stopped crying, watched her daughter fall asleep, and proudly began to think about how to dress up tomorrow to look like her unparalleled daughter in the Tianxian Kingdom, and she didn't remember the issue of X education before marriage at all.

Maybe she thinks that it is enough to let Gu Ci see a female puppet before...... Finish?
