072 Don't give an inch
The eldest lady had seen the arrogant and domineering three girls, but it was the first time she saw Gu Qingwan crying, and she seemed a little helpless for a while. She hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly reached out and patted Gu Qingwan's shoulder, which could be regarded as appeasement.
Gu Qingwan cried for a while, then she gritted her teeth and held back, she was still kneeling on the ground, just looking at Gu Mingli: "Father wants me to remember filial piety, but my daughter also has to see who she is filial to." She pointed to Xiao Sun, with a determination on her face that frightened Xiao Sun, "Until now, my father still wants me to be filial to the second wife, where is my biological mother?" ”
Only then did Gu Mingli realize that Gu Qingwan today was not as easy to handle as before.
Seeing that Gu Mingli was speechless, Gu Qingwan continued to turn her head and hide in the arms of the eldest lady and cried: "Auntie, I shouldn't have come today. One is my father and the other is my mother, if I say the wrong thing, it will be a 'unfilial' hat. Auntie, what should I do now? ”
The He family is now in the upper hand, but Gu Qingwan showed weakness to her alone, which the eldest lady is still very satisfied with.
Thinking of the incident of the He family back then, "I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me", thinking of the appetite of the little Sun family that was raised, the eldest lady closed her eyes and said slowly: "Naturally, the dead are the greatest." ”
Gu Qingwan was waiting for this sentence, thinking that this time Dafang would not only stay out of the matter, but also secretly add fuel to the fire.
"Sister-in-law......" Xiao Sun called softly, seeing that there was a faint impatience on the eldest lady's face, she didn't dare to ask anymore, she could only look at Gu Mingli tremblingly.
"Qingwan. Let the light rain take you back to the inner courtyard first. The eldest lady glanced at Gu Mingli, who still wanted to say something, and continued to instruct, "You just have to rest assured that you will get married, and the eldest aunt will naturally not let you be wronged in other things." You are a girl from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and you should know how to do everything. ”
This sentence was both reassuring and warning, and of course Gu Qingwan could hear it.
There is a big lady here. For the sake of the reputation of the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion, the matter of the original dowry under the second room had to be swallowed into the stomach. Whether it is compensation or lessons, these disputes can only be resolved behind closed doors.
If she doesn't come to get involved today, with the temperament of Xiao Sun and Gu Mingli, I'm afraid that the scar will heal and forget the pain. Now she is standing here as a victim, and you will know it in the future. Xiao Sun was in front of her, and I was afraid that she would not be able to get up again.
As for how much Gu Mingli and Xiao Sun's family have to compensate, it is not something that Gu Qingwan can manage. Gu Mingli is also the biological father of the third girl, and she doesn't want to have something to say to Xiao Sun's in the future.
Therefore, the eldest lady gave her the steps, and Gu Qingwan simply saluted everyone in the room and said goodbye. Except for Xiao Sun, no one else was left behind.
Xiao Sun's face was crooked, and he could only endure this breath alive.
As soon as Gu Qingwan left, the eldest lady coughed lightly, turned her head to the Guan clan and said, "Uncle and wife, this matter is indeed something that the second brother and the little Sun clan did wrong. But our two families are relatives anyway, and if it is rumored, it will not be good for Qingwan and Brother Ke. I hope that you will consider it carefully. ”
Although Gu Qingwan is engaged, she will still go out to socialize in the future. Although it is right to ask for a dowry for his biological mother, he will also be criticized for persecuting his biological father like this. Brother Ke is even more implicated, with Gu Mingli in front, who else will dare to marry his own girl and the Marquis of Dingyuan Mansion in the future?
Not only the children of the second room, but also the entire Dingyuan Marquis Mansion will be humiliated for this, and the eldest lady will never allow such a thing to happen.
Guan didn't think of this, otherwise why would he come to round this scene in person. She was silent for a while, until the eldest lady was a little apprehensive, and then she asked, "I wonder what the eldest lady wants?" ”
The eldest lady glanced at Gu Mingli, who was shrugging her body, and said softly: "This matter doesn't need to alarm the other people in the mansion anymore, it will be solved on the spot today, and other conditions will naturally be mentioned by your He family." ”
The He family never expected that the eldest lady would be so generous, and they were all a little surprised.
Think about it, the wool is out of the sheep, and the eldest lady just wants to solve this matter as soon as possible, but the filling and compensation are all the affairs of Gu Mingli and Xiao Sun. Therefore, after the eldest lady said these words, Gu Mingli and Xiao Sun had forbearance on their faces, but they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Guan glanced at He Chengyang, then took a step back and motioned for He Chengyang to speak.
He Chengyang didn't shirk either, he just pointed at Gu Mingli and asked, "Do you agree with the words of the county lord?" As long as we don't alarm others, other conditions are at our disposal. ”
Thinking that if this matter really came out, and the two brothers of the He family joined him again, he would not only be despised and laughed at by his colleagues, but he was afraid that he might be demoted or cut off in serious cases.
Although Gu Mingli was born in the top three with the Jinshi, he was not deep in the scheming city, if it wasn't for his eldest brother Dingyuan Marquis and King Huai to help him over the years, how could he rise to the top? Although the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is a noble and the ancestors have also made meritorious contributions, if it weren't for the fact that the eldest lady in their mansion was the sister of King Huai, the county lord of Zhaocheng, their Dingyuan Marquis Mansion would not be as full of flowers as it is now.
The eldest lady is filial and deferential to the old lady on weekdays, kind and tolerant to the concubine, and amiable to the younger generations in the family, which does not mean that she has no temper.
Gu Mingli thought in his heart, and when he looked up and saw the fierceness in the eldest lady's eyes, he could only nod his head hurriedly.
"Our He family doesn't want to embarrass you, so let's do it, I only have three requirements." He Chengyang thought for a while, and finally said, "If your house does it, we will be considered to be clear in the matter of dowry, and it will not affect the future relationship between the two families." ”
After this incident, the Gu family and the He family are afraid that they have no relatives to speak of. Everyone knows it, but it's just not too ugly.
"First, about Lan Xin's dowry. As my wife just said, things like ready-to-wear materials, herbs and spices should be discarded, but the difference in the dowry list must be made up. As for those properties that have been sold, whether they were sold at a loss or not, as long as you put your mind to it, it is not impossible to find out. He Chengyang warned, and then said, "It's good to be able to take it back, but if you can't get it back, you will make up the silver at the current market price." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Xiao Sun took a hard breath. Although she didn't know what the situation of the property that Lu Dao put in Gu Mingli's place, the two properties in Yizhou that she held in her hand were sold by her four years ago. After she sold the property in Yizhou, she changed hands and bought property in other places in Yizhou, and naturally knew that the land price in Yizhou today is not comparable to that of four years ago.
If she really compensates according to the current market price, she will not be able to compensate for the Zhuangzi and shop that He had in Yizhou when she replaced the new properties in Yizhou.
Xiao Sun's family regretted and hated, not only regretting how he had sold the property in Yizhou in the first place, but also hating Gu Qingwan for involving so many things. It's just that under the pressure of the eldest lady, Xiao Sun can only swallow tears in his stomach.
"As for the others, the antiques, calligraphy and paintings are fine, but after the jewelry, ornaments and furniture are used up, the remaining rags are not rare for us. If it's new, you can still make it up, but if it's half-new and not old, I'm afraid you don't have the face to take it out, so it's better to convert it at the market price. ”
He's jewelry and furnishings were naturally used by Xiao Sun's family, and the next few words were obviously said to Xiao Sun's family.
Xiao Sun remembered the things she had turned out of the warehouse road over the years, and she used the ones that were eye-catching, and sold the ones that were not eye-catching, and even gave some gifts to others. Before, she thought that those things were destined to be hers, anyway, she didn't want this thing, and she didn't feel distressed.
But asking her to compensate now is simply ripping off her heart. Although she hid it from Gu Mingli that day, and privately left some for Gu Qingyan to make a dowry in the future, the ones used in the past are a lot of money.
Xiao Sun felt like he was having a nightmare, but he couldn't wake up, and the whole person was in a trance.
"I forgot that there are also the profits and surpluses of Zhuangzi and shops in various places over the years, I don't care what you say, there are profits and losses, all the surpluses of Zhuangzi and shops are counted as 10,000 taels a year, and they are converted into 140,000 taels." He Chengyang's tone, as if Gu Mingli and Xiao Sun had taken advantage of it, made the two of them angry enough.
"The second point, Qingwan has been wronged a lot over the years, and she will be out of the cabinet in the next year, I don't want any rumors to spread in your mansion." He Chengyang's tone was a little tougher, "The county lord wants us to keep our mouths shut, but if the matter comes from your own mansion, we can't control it." ”
Xiao Sun thought that He Chengyang had already finished mentioning the conditions, but he didn't expect that the previous ones would be counted as one. She couldn't refute, she could only glare angrily. It wasn't until I heard that it wasn't related to He's dowry that I was relieved.
But after thinking about it, He Chengyang's words were looking for a way out for Gu Qingwan, and let the eldest lady protect Gu Qingwan before she left the pavilion, and Xiao Sun felt depressed again.
The mood fluctuated greatly, and Xiao Sun suddenly felt a little fluttering under his feet.
"I'll leave the last point to me." Guan Shi gently pulled He Chengyang, and then said, "Please forgive the county lord, I heard that the date is set at the beginning of February, and there is not much time left to calculate, and the marriage must be done urgently." I also asked the county lord to supervise and complete the dowry list of our aunt and wife before October, and then my sister-in-law and I will come to calculate it in person. ”
Although several people in the He family were not polite to speak, the eldest lady didn't mind much, but said: "This is natural, I don't know what else my uncle and wife want?" ”
"We don't want to press it step by step, these three points are enough." Lu Shi, who had been ignored for a long time, hurriedly said.
Xiao Sun's blood surged up while listening, and finally his eyes rolled and fainted.
