The offering table began to be set up in the North Three Hutong on the third day of the fourth month, two days earlier than in the Shilang Mansion.

Early in the morning of the second day of junior high school, Gu Yunjin went to Xianhe Hall with the Yang family.

Yang knew that the things that would be sent to Beisan Hutong were going to be settled today, and Mrs. Min promised to return the promise, and if she really moved things from the warehouse, she had to scold and scold around the bush, which hurt her ears, so she wanted to hurry up early, and it would be done while Mrs. Xu was still there.

In front of the old lady, Mrs. Min was able to restrain herself.

Gu Yunjin also has this in mind, she doesn't want to be scolded at all, she naturally wants to find a backer if she has a backer.

Sure enough, breakfast was being held in the Xianhe Hall, and when Mrs. Min saw them come in, her face was long.

"What's so urgent?" Mrs. Min said coldly, "The old woman can't wait for her to eat?" ”

Gu Yunjin blinked his eyes and didn't say anything.

The Yang family had a smile on his face, and he didn't say anything, but he secretly slandered him, if Gu Yunjin was in a hurry, he wouldn't have delayed it until the time to leave the mansion.

In the past few days, Yang also asked Gu Yunjin a few times, and each time the answer was that Xu didn't think about it, so she had to give up.

Mrs. Min slowed down her movements and deliberately hung them.

Old lady Xu ran out first, rinsed her mouth, and said, "Yunjin is going back to Beisan Hutong in a while, right?" Is it all packed? ”

Gu Yunjin bowed his head and said: "Tomorrow will set up the offering table, Fu Dong will pack his luggage in the Orchid Garden, our wife has picked it up, I will ask the old lady to 'borrow' the dowry of the old lady of the Shi family." ”

It was clearly left by the Shi family, but the word "borrowed" was used, and the sarcasm gushed out, without concealing it at all.

Old Lady Min snorted coldly and wanted to discipline Gu Yunjin.

Old Lady Xu glanced at Old Lady Min, stopped her words, and said slowly, "What did she choose?" ”

"The colorful elephant trunk vase of Baizi opera, the red sandalwood root carving sent by Guanyin, and the embroidery insert full of gold and jade." Gu Yunjin said.

Of the three things, Gu Yunjin said with a frank face, and his tone did not fluctuate at all, but the faces of the people who listened were different.

These things all carry the meaning of many sons and many blessings, and they are added to the dowry, just like the longan peanuts that are sprinkled on the bed, and pray that the Shi family can open branches and leaves for her in-laws as soon as possible and inherit the incense.

When Mrs. Xu heard this, her mind was full of Shi's figure who died of postpartum blood loss, after all, she was a husband and wife, and Shi didn't have a child when she gave birth, so she was quite embarrassed to think about it at the moment.

Old Mrs. Min even had a crooked nose, and Xu was scolding her with a few things.

Shi as the original wife, Xu Yan and Xu Chi never kowtowed to her tablet, the Xu family obviously had a queen, but Shi lived like a broken incense underground.

Gritting her back molars, Mrs. Min thought viciously, Xu Hui has always been soft-natured, and she can't do anything to scold her stepmother by turning around, these three things, I'm afraid that Wu and Gu Yunjin picked them.

Gu Yunjin didn't care what they thought, she didn't even care about Yang's surprised, smiling and secretly cool expression.

Mrs. Min forcibly suppressed the fire in her heart and said, "It's all big items, and the warehouse was counted a few days in the morning, why hasn't it been decided until now?" Such a drag! ”

Gu Yunjin sighed faintly, and his tone was sad: "The dowry of the old lady of the Shi family has always been collected by you, our wife has not seen a few times since she was a child, everything is rare, and she wants to confess everything, so she hesitates to hesitate and hesitate, and she is reluctant." ”

This is tantamount to saying that Mrs. Min has usurped the Shi family's dowry, even if she doesn't use heavy words, she doesn't save Mrs. Min any face.

Mrs. Min slapped the table and was about to have a seizure, but Mrs. Xu coughed heavily, so that the old lady could only endure it.

Old lady Xu was saddened by Gu Yunjin's words, and her mind was full of Shi's gentle and supple appearance in the past, and Xu Hui's well-behaved appearance when she was young, even if the father and daughter were not intimate, Xu Hui had been raised by him for more than 20 years, far longer than the daughters of other families.

The reason, even if he doesn't think about it, it all swells in his heart, and he also understands Xu Hui's grievances.

It's just a few dead things, which can make Xu Hui happier, not to mention moving it for two days, and if you don't return it, it's nothing.

"Since you have picked it out, send it over quickly, don't delay the important matter." Mrs. Xu made the final decision, and she didn't talk too much nonsense to Mrs. Min, so she got up and left.

Gu Yunjin looked at the old lady's back, his eyes heavy.

Don't look at Old Lady Xu speaking for the Xu family at this time, when you turn your head, that emotion goes down, and then ask Old Lady Min to say a few words, I'm afraid my thoughts will change again.

Otherwise, can Shi's dowry be withheld in the hands of Mrs. Min for decades?

There was no old lady Xu in the house, and seeing that old lady Min's anger rushed up one after another, Yang was excited, and hurriedly said: "I'll go and arrange the carriage and horses." ”

After Yang finished speaking, Gu Yunjin drew a gourd in the same way, smiled at Shi Ying, and smeared oil under his feet to the warehouse.

After waiting for a while, Shi Ying came over with a stiff face and opened the warehouse without saying a word.

Mama Shao commanded the stout mother-in-law to move things, and Yang pulled Gu Yunjin to push a few steps away, and asked in a low voice, "Are these really picked by the eldest sister?" ”

"yes." Gu Yunjin said.

Yang said: "The eldest sister's temperament has changed, she wouldn't have been so bold in the past, Baizi Xichun, Jinyu Mantang, Guanyin sent children, isn't this scolding the old lady, no wonder the old lady was angry just now." ”

A smile flashed in his eyes, Gu Yunjin pursed his lips and said, "Where is it, our wife is not one of those people, these are all asking for a good omen, the old lady thinks about it by herself."

Don't hide it from my uncle, my brother sent a letter to the family, saying that there is a chance to return to Beijing at the end of the year, and our wife is happy and wants to ask the ancestors for a begging, and when my brother comes back, my sister-in-law can add heirs to him earlier.

My wife was not in good health and couldn't go to the Taoist temple to worship, so she had to beg her ancestors. ”

Yang stared at Gu Yunjin's mouth, not smiling, not smiling.

The truth is very similar to that thing, but no matter how she hears it, she can hear a meaning - people see people as people, ghosts look like ghosts, and Mrs. Min is that ghost, she is weak and sulking.

Thinking about it like this, Yang felt that she had also become a ghost, and heard Gu Yunjin's simple words with a thousand meanings.

Seeing Gu Yunjin's face as usual, Yang couldn't help but think that he was thinking too much, but he was just a little girl who was angry and punished the maid for beating her mother-in-law at will, where would she find a cheap place in one or two places?

Gu Yunjin carefully watched the servants move things, afraid that they would be careless and bump into each other.

Yang asked a few more homely questions, Gu Yunjin talked nonsense to the other party seriously, anyway, she was not red and her heart was not beating when she lied, she was thick-skinned, and she was born to take advantage.

These are all picked by her and the Wu family, that is, to scold Mrs. Min, the old lady is angry and can't do anything about her, what is more comforting.
