Chapter 620: Add makeup
"There's nothing to worry about." Gu Xinian's tone was still as indifferent as ever: "Even if he becomes the emperor in the future, don't try to force me to marry my daughter"
Ye Qinglan's somewhat flustered heart immediately calmed down, pursed her lips and smiled: "This is what you said." When there is such a day in the future, you will have to protect you. ”
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "With me here, no one wants to force our daughter." ”
Ye Qinglan thought for a while, and asked curiously: "When I went to the banquet today, I heard many young girls whispering about their children's life experiences in private. It's been a month, why haven't the rumors stopped, but have intensified? Didn't the prince suppress these rumors behind his back? ”
Gu Xinian smiled meaningfully: "The mouth grows on other people's mouths, and you can't control it if you want to." If there are people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and fanning the flames, I am afraid that these rumors will not be easy to quell down. ”
Ye Qinglan really knew Gu Xinian too well, and when she saw his leisurely appearance, she immediately noticed that something was wrong. Savoring these two sentences carefully, he soon realized something: "What do you mean is that the third prince is fanning the flames behind his back, trying to embarrass the prince with rumors." Then, the prince pushed the boat down the river, and also wanted to use this matter to deal with the three princes? ”
Gu Xinian smiled approvingly: "That's pretty much it." But not now, at least it will take another two or three months to see results. "Of course, there's a lot to do behind the scenes to get the most out of this plan. However, there is no need to say these things one by one to annoy Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan didn't ask much. She is not interested in these conspiracies and calculations, besides, with Gu Xinian's advice, the three princes will not be pleased. She had nothing to worry about.
Ye Qinglan quickly put the matter aside and took the topic away: "There is still half a month left to be the happy day of Sister Xiyu's marriage." It's time for us to put on her makeup! ”
"Mother has prepared so much dowry for Yu'er, what else do we have to add." Gu Xinian deliberately laughed: "It's better to save a little and keep it for our An An as a dowry in the future." ”
Ye Qinglan was amused and played a trick with him: "Okay, good, this is what you said." Then I'm not going to prepare anything. It's all left to your precious daughter. "A pair of children are neat and cute, and everyone loves them like treasures. In comparison, An An received more attention than her brother. Gu Xinian is even more obviously eccentric.
The husband and wife laughed for a while, and then they discussed the matter of adding makeup to Gu Xiyu.
The dowry list prepared by Mrs. Zheng for Gu Xiyu is indeed very rich, not to mention anything else, there are two in the Grange alone. There are also four shops, and the annual income is enough to take care of Yu's expenses at her husband's house. As for silk satin, precious medicinal materials, ingredients, precious porcelain, etc., not to mention how many. The cash at the bottom of the box is also a staggering figure.
Ye Qinglan did confinement again after she was pregnant, but she couldn't help with it. However, Mrs. Zheng did not shy away from these. So she knew the dowry list by heart. Fan Shi was secretly sour a few times, and when he saw that Ye Qinglan had no reaction, he stopped talking stupidly.
"Mother has prepared a lot of things. In my opinion, let's prepare more cash for Yu'er! Gu Xinian pondered for a moment and said.
Ye Qinglan also felt that silver was the most affordable, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then prepare a silver ticket." How many do you think is appropriate? ”
Gu Xinian is such a precious sister, of course she will not be reluctant, and immediately said: "Make up a whole number and give 10,000 taels." ”
This silver. Of course, it is not from the public school, but from the private savings of the husband and wife.
The dowry brought by Ye Qinglan when she got married is not counted, Gu Xinian has been secretly planning for so many years. There are some properties in his hands, but even Mrs. Zheng doesn't know about them. After becoming a household servant, the "filial piety" of the officials below during the New Year's holidays alone is a terrifying amount. Those are nothing. Now that these ledgers have all been handed over to Ye Qinglan to manage, she is also very clear about the amount of property shared by the two. Wen Yan smiled: "Ten thousand taels is indeed not too little." These are what you give. I, as a sister-in-law, always have to show some kindness and add another 5,000 taels. ”
Ye Qinglan was so generous, Gu Xinian was naturally happy in his heart, and bowed his head and kissed her: "It's really my blessing to marry such a good daughter-in-law." ”
Disgusting! Ye Qinglan smiled and took a bite of him.
Gu Xinian immediately came over shamelessly: "It's so late, we should rest too......" The end note was quickly blurred, disappearing in the entanglement of each other's lips and tongues.
……
After two days, Ye Qinglan arrived at the Cold Moon Pavilion with the exquisite box.
Gu Xiyu was bored in a daze, and when she saw Ye Qinglan coming, she immediately greeted her happily: "Sister-in-law, you finally have time to accompany me." I've been suffocating to death for the past few days. ”
As the wedding day approached, Mrs. Zheng ordered Gu Xiyu to stay in the Cold Moon Pavilion and not to come out and walk around at will. Although Gu Xiyu likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, she can't stay in the Cold Moon Pavilion for a few days in a row, and she is really boring. Now seeing Ye Qinglan coming, she suddenly became happy.
is already an eighteen-year-old girl, but Gu Xiyu is coquettish, and she is as innocent as a child who has just solved things.
Ye Qinglan really hurt this sister-in-law, and touched her soft hair with a smile: "In a few days, you will get married." But you have to cherish this time. ”
Gu Xiyu nodded obediently, and then stretched her neck with great interest to look at the box in Ye Qinglan's hand: "Sister-in-law, what did you bring to me?" ”
Ye Qinglan smiled dumbly, opened the box, revealing a thick stack of silver tickets: "This is the silver ticket issued by the largest money bank in the capital." Each of them was a hundred taels of denomination, and there were a hundred and fifty of them, which was fifteen thousand taels of silver. Of them, 10,000 taels were given to you by your eldest brother, and the remaining 5,000 taels were my own private house. It's kind of adding makeup to you. ”
Gu Xiyu didn't feel the amount of silver at all, and in her eyes, this thick stack of silver tickets was actually not much different from a stack of paper...... However, since it is something sent by the eldest brother and sister-in-law, of course it is all good. Therefore, Gu Xiyu happily took the box, and then counted the silver tickets and played.
……
Ye Qinglan smiled, and simply sat beside Gu Xiyu to play with her. Since she became pregnant, most of her focus has been on raising the baby, and after giving birth, she has been revolving around the child every day. did ignore Gu Xiyu. It's no wonder that Gu Xiyu always complains that she is bored.
As Gu Xiyu grew older, her appearance became more and more beautiful and exquisite, and her dark eyes were like a pair of black gems inlaid on her face as white as jade. The light in his eyes and a smile are simply breathtaking.
Gu Xiyu counted the silver tickets for a long time, and then said happily: "Sister-in-law, there are one hundred and fifty tickets, and one is not a lot." ”
Ye Qinglan smiled dumbly, and then gently coaxed: "These silver tickets will be collected quickly, and when you marry into your husband's family in the future, it is always good to have more private money in your hands." Whatever you like and what you want to buy, you can do whatever you want, and no one can control you. ”
Gu Xiyu snorted as if she didn't understand, and casually put a stack of silver tickets into the box. Then he casually stuffed Mo Xiang: "You can keep it for me." ”
Mo Xiang held a box of silver tickets, helpless and funny. With such a large sum of silver, anyone who looks at it will be a little excited. But it's good to take care of the jade, it's like a pile of waste paper......
Ye Qinglan suddenly remembered that she had brought something over, and hurriedly took a sachet from her body: "By the way, I also made a sachet for you with my own hands, which contains your favorite plum blossom petals." "Actually, it's mainly because the female celebrity has mediocre skills, and I'm really embarrassed to show my ugliness, so I only made the simplest sachet to express my feelings.
Gu Xiyu's eyes lit up, and she happily took the sachet over, and she liked it so much that she immediately hung it on her waist. Mei Zizi turned around: "Sister-in-law, do I look good when I wear this sachet?" ”
"Beautiful!" Ye Qinglan praised from the bottom of her heart: "You look so beautiful, I can't find a second girl in the whole capital who can stand side by side with you and not fall behind." ”
If you talk about the beauty and flawlessness of appearance, there are probably only Shen Qiuyu and Gu Xiyu between the best. Even Ye Qingning was slightly inferior.
Gu Xiyu's heart was full of praise, and she smiled and said: "It's not right for you to say that, An An will definitely look better than me in the future." ”
When it came to her baby daughter, the smile on Ye Qinglan's face became gentler: "I only hope that An An can grow up healthy and healthy, but I don't mind what she looks like." ”
With Gu Xinian and her excellent genes, the child's appearance will definitely not be bad. It's okay for boys to be handsome, but girls are too beautiful, but it's not necessarily a good thing. Ye Qinglan sincerely hopes that An Anchang will be delicate and cute!
Of course, Gu Xiyu couldn't guess Ye Qinglan's complicated and subtle thoughts, so she nodded with a smile in agreement.
The days passed like a fly, and soon it was the day before Gu Xiyu's marriage.
On the eve of the woman's marriage, there is a warm house wine as usual. The Dingguo Mansion set up several tables of family banquets, and in addition to everyone in the house, some relatives, friends and daughters of the same clan were also invited. People come and go. However, these bustles have nothing to do with Gu Xiyu. She stayed alone in the room, holding her chin in a daze.
Mo Xiang Jade's two maids were much more nervous than her, the main one who was about to get married, and they whispered together.
After a while, Mrs. Zheng came in. glanced at the two maids, and the two of them immediately retreated in amusement.
"Mother, you're finally here." Gu Xiyu complained aggrievedly: "I've been in the house all day today, and I don't even have anyone to talk to." ”
Mrs. Zheng smiled and reassured, "Aren't I here to accompany you?" But I was secretly hesitating in my heart, how should I open my mouth and talk to Gu Xiyu?
ps: Guess what, what does Mrs. Zheng want to say to Gu Xiyu next?
