The emperor personally ordered the transfer of Jin Ling's guards into the north, and after the Mu family let the news, everyone happily, Mrs. Mu, who had a big stone on her chest, was in the mood to organize her grandson's wedding wholeheartedly.

On the day of the emperor's decree, Mu Chengxin personally rushed to the camp of Jinlingwei in Gyeonggi, and Mrs. Mu was the first to go to the palace to ask for peace. As soon as the song was soothed, the emperor immediately understood what was going on, and immediately summoned the young eunuch and chose an auspicious day for Mu Zhengyi and Gu Yilan.

The date was set for April 22, and after Mrs. Mu got the holy decree, because Mu Chengxin was not at home, she asked Mu Qingyi and Mu Lingyi brothers to send the holy decree to the Gu University Scholar's Mansion together.

The day set by the emperor himself was not much to discuss, so Gu Yilan and Mu Zhengyi's invitation ceremony was a formality, and the Gu family offered three of the saints before the ancestors ranked, and then sent them back to the Anguo Mansion.

There is still more than a month to pass, and this marriage is too hurried, since the wedding date was set, the whole Gu Bachelor's Mansion, including the bride Gu Yilan, has been so busy that their feet do not touch the ground.

Gu Yilan hadn't been out of the room for a few days, and she hadn't finished the needlework for her mother-in-law, Gu Furao did offer to let the embroidery girl help her do it, but Gu Yilan refused to make do, so she was busy every day.

At the end of March, Mrs. Mu entered the palace and asked the emperor and the queen to say goodbye. This old lady really did it, and really went into the palace to ask for makeup for her granddaughter-in-law.

The emperor seemed very happy, personally rewarded the newlyweds with a pair of jade unicorns, and also opened the golden mouth to let the queen mother help the eldest granddaughter of the Mu family to buy a dowry.

With the excuse of a righteous and bright reward to win over the Anguo Mansion, Empress Wei would not have been angry, so as soon as the news of Mu Zhengyi's engagement came out, she had already begun to prepare for the reward. As early as the first month, Empress Wei had already instructed the sewing bureau in the palace to make an extremely gorgeous wedding dress for Gu Yilan, and the phoenix crown and xia veil were also prepared early.

At present, Rong Di is restless, and the entire northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty still has to rely on the Mu clan to defend it, so the emperor specially emphasized the words "help to do it". Of course, Empress Wei immediately understood, and the reward became more and more unscrupulous.

Empress Wei's personal female official personally sorted out all kinds of gold, silver, pearls, jade, silk jewelry, and all kinds of precious spices from overseas, and Lie Lizi let the queen see it, and then used the red gold-painted sandalwood carved lacquered wooden box into thirty boxes, covered with red silk, and carried by the inner supervisors into the Gu University Scholar's Mansion to add makeup to Gu Jiujie.

No, just the thirty sandalwood carved lacquered wooden boxes are worth enough, not to mention the priceless rewards in the boxes, and the Gu family sisters who came out to receive Yizhi with Gu Yilan were so envious that their eyes were red. Even Gu Yilan's well-informed aunts and uncles couldn't help but show envious expressions on their faces.

"Grandmother is still worried about the ninth sister's dowry," After the inner supervisor left, the seventh sister Gu Yimei looked at the thirty carved lacquered wooden boxes in the courtyard, and wanted to touch them but couldn't pull her face: "It's also unnecessary to worry about." The ninth sister is married well, where can we worry about Zhang Luo in our family, this queen mother personally helped to add makeup, one is thirty boxes, who can have such a scenery when they get married. ”

"Exactly." The sixth sister Gu Yizhu smiled half jealously and half enviously: "This face is sufficient, but the Anguo Mansion takes a fancy to our ninth sister to be obedient and obedient, and not to look at the dowry, and the dowry cannot be determined in the morning and dusk. ”

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this, but when you think about it, it makes some sense. Fang Zhi, who was following behind Gu Yilan, pulled down her face, her mouth was very fast, and she immediately retorted regardless of whether she opened her mouth or not: "Sixth sister, the slave doesn't understand this. The slave maid remembered that the last time my sister went to the Anguo Mansion to ask for peace, the old lady made it clear that the Mu family did not need her daughter-in-law to set rules, and now several ladies in the house do not set rules in front of the old lady on weekdays. Old lady, Master Mu has a good relationship with our sister, she is happy when she looks at it, and it doesn't matter what she looks at. ”

Fang Xin, who had always been calm, glanced at Fang Zhi, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't stop Fang Zhi from speaking, so she choked with the sixth sister like this.

"I haven't passed the door yet, so I'm thinking about disrespecting my elders," Gu Yimei sneered: "The ninth sister is really impressive." ”

"That's it, you believe it." Gu Yizhu gently pushed Gu Yimei: "Didn't you see that the ninth sister has been locked in the room every day these days, making needlework gifts for her mother-in-law's family!" Grandmother asked the embroidery lady to help, but she refused, she had to do it herself, we can see this heart. This hasn't passed the door yet, how can the ninth sister not be more cautious in everything, do you know that the Anguo Mansion is not separated, and there are a lot of elders who need to be respected! ”

Before the words fell, Gu Yizhu and Gu Yimei laughed together, while Gu Yilan looked calm, as if she hadn't heard anything from them at all, but walked into the courtyard in a few steps and directly opened the box closest to her.

The box happened to contain the pearl and jade jewelry rewarded by the queen's mother, and the one on top was a delicate box, Gu Yilan didn't say a word, and opened the box directly in front of several sisters. It was a box full of Dongzhu, each with a big thumb belly, even and round, and excellent color.

As soon as Gu Yizhu and Gu Yimei saw the priceless Dongzhu, their smiles froze on their faces. As if she didn't see the expressions on their faces, Gu Yilan closed the box and instructed lightly: "Fang Xin, take the list and check the rewards of the queen mother one by one, and then receive them from the treasury first, these are all imperial gifts, and there can be no mistakes or omissions." ”

"Sister, don't worry." Fang Xin glanced at Gu Yizhu and Gu Yimei, couldn't help but smile and nodded, turned around in front of the two sisters, and opened another box. The box was full of silk and satin, and on top of it was an extremely delicate and rare hibiscus flower red cloud brocade.

Even the well-informed Sister Gu family rarely sees such a delicate and special Yunjin pattern, and Gu Yizhu and Gu Yimei almost couldn't hide their jealous expressions.

Gu Yilan was about to turn around and leave, but when she saw the red hibiscus flower cloud brocade, she stopped again. She walked to the box, carefully looked at the cloud brocade a few times, and suddenly laughed: "This pattern, the red dress must look good when you wear it." ”

"That sister, do you want to take it out and send it to the Anguo Mansion now?" Fang Xin asked.

"No, you don't." Gu Yilan smiled and shook her head: "Put it first, and when I am free in the future, I will personally cut a new skirt for her." ”
