Chapter 110: Carrying the Dowry

After Gu Wenyin left, Murong Ling asked Mama Xu to put the purse and other items prepared these days into a cage and take them to the main courtyard for regularization, and it happened that Mrs. Zhou and the Gu couple discussed the details of the dowry, and she was in a hurry to return to the house to preside over the overall situation, and she didn't have time to say goodbye, so she asked Mama Xu to pass the word on her behalf.

About half an hour later, the vermilion gate of Gu's mansion opened, firecrackers were lit, gongs and drums were beaten, and the dowry officially left the mansion. A group of neighbors had already gathered in front of the door to watch the excitement, watching the porters in bright red festive clothes leave with a dowry, all silently calculating, until the last pair of porters walked out of the house, totaled, and found that the dowry was only sixty-eight.

What is the concept of sixty-eight lifts? The dowry of the powerful families in Beijing is about this amount, and there are even favored people who exceed this amount. It is not wrong for Gu Fu to give these dowries, and the fragrant wood and utensils exposed outside are also famous, but these are far from enough - after all, his daughter is married to the King of Qin!

Marrying into the palace and giving a dowry of sixty-eight lifts is too cold.

Seeing the excitement, there was a lot of discussion, and one of them said mysteriously, "Haven't you heard the rumors a while ago? ”

"Oh, what rumors? Please talk about this brother. ”

"I heard that this Miss Gu is not favored, she has been abused by her stepmother all the year round, not only was she sent to Peach Blossom Nunnery to fend for herself a while ago, but she was almost taken out of the city by her stepmother's evil servants when she and the Marquis of Dingyuan confessed to each other."

"Is there such a thing?" The listener's face was full of horror, "The Gu family is a high-ranking family, and they are heirlooms of poetry, how could such a pickled thing happen?" ”

The communicator was well-informed, and he was not surprised by this, and said calmly, "What's this, the more high-ranking the family, the more pickled it is, do you think other homes are innocent and clean?" It's just that this Mrs. Gu's methods are not clever and she has revealed her traces. ”

The listener looked emotional, shook his head and sighed, "Even so, Miss Gu can marry into the Qin Palace, how can I say that it is also a great joy for the glory of the ancestors, no matter how much I don't like it, I have to support my face, right?" ”

"Who knows what Gu Shangshu thinks."

……

Conversations like this happened everywhere, and slowly, everyone's eyes changed, both shameless and regretful, shaking their heads and sighing that the people's hearts were not ancient, and many people were not interested in following along, just this little pomp, not lively at all.

Not to mention what those who left said when they went to the tea shop, the remaining part of the people followed all the way and found that the porters did not go to the Qin Palace, but turned a corner on the way and stopped directly at the entrance of Changping Street, where the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is located!

The crowd was amazed, when they suddenly heard the sound of gongs, drums, and suona coming from the street, and soon saw a group of porters dressed in red and green walking out carrying a dowry. They converged with the porters of the Gu Mansion and went towards the Qin Palace.

It turned out that the Gu Mansion married a daughter, and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion made a dowry together!

Sixty-eight lifts in the Gu Mansion and sixty lifts in the Hou Mansion, which is already one hundred and twenty-eight lifts in total, compared to the one hundred and thirty-two lifts of the crown princess at the beginning, it is already almost the same!

The dowry procession of Hao Hao Tang passed through the downtown area, the gongs, drums and suona were noisy, and the naughty children chased the dowry and made a fuss, smiling and singing songs, "...... So he ordered the hearts of parents all over the world not to rebirth men and women ......"; The visitors in the tea shop are judging the yellow rosewood of the cage, home furnishings, etc., and their eyes do not hide envy and admiration; And on the street, whether it is a married woman or a boudoir girl, the expression is even more envious and yearning, and it is not in vain to come to the world to get married in such a beautiful life.

Ten miles of red makeup, a prosperous life.

Gu Qingyi didn't have a chance to see such a beautiful scene, but later listened to the relays of Qiu Yan's maids, and only smiled slightly when she heard the words, not feeling proud or regretful at all, after all, she had already experienced such a scene in her previous life.

While giving dowries outside, she entertained guests in the Yusheng Temple. The visitors are Mo Niangzi, the steward of Xiuyun Pavilion, Xu Zhangzi and Li Niangzi, and their intention is very simple, they are here to give wedding dresses.

Compared with the warmth and cordiality of the last meeting, Mrs. Mo this time was more cautious and humble, "Miss Gu, our embroidery lady in the pavilion worked day and night, and finally embroidered the wedding dress before the wedding, there was a lot of delay, and I ask Miss Gu to forgive me." ”

The wedding dress was brilliantly embroidered and brilliant, and when they were just sent over, the slaves and maids who were waiting in the house were stunned, which showed that they were attentive. Looking at their eyes red, their eyes are blue and black, even if they wear heavy makeup, they can't hide their haggardness, and I don't know how much effort they have spent for this wedding dress, why can't Gu Qingyi understand people's feelings, and blame them again?

"Where is Mrs. Mo, I don't know how much work I saved when you handled my wedding dress, and it's too late to thank you, how can I blame?"

Gu Qingyi smiled, seeing that their faces were relieved, he continued, "We are also old acquaintances, even if there are changes around us, there is no need to be restrained. Last time, Mrs. Mo went to Bofu to get clothes for me, which proved my innocence, and I haven't apologized to you personally. ”

At the beginning, she originally wanted the shopkeeper Xu to go out and retrieve the clothes from Zhao Xiuying for her, but she didn't expect Mrs. Mo to go out in person, although Gu Qingyi asked people to bring a thank you gift, but after all, it was not as sincere as thanking her in person, so she brought it up.

Listening to her words, Mo Niangzi had a smile on her face, and hurriedly said, "It is the honor of the slave to do things for the master, and I dare not say thank you." ”

Gu Qingyi didn't know the details of Mo Niangzi, but seeing that her rules and regulations all had traces of the palace, she thought that she should be the palace maid of Xiuyuan, otherwise she would not have been able to embroider the palace with one hand.

It's just that I don't know what her relationship is with King Qin.

Gu Qingyi didn't have the right to ask about these secret things at present, so she suppressed her doubts in her heart, and after thanking her with a smile, she fell on Mrs. Li, who had been quiet.

Noticing her gaze, Mrs. Li immediately blushed nervously and stumbled, "Miss Gu." ”

As soon as she heard her title, Gu Qingyi lowered her face and said unhappily, "But after a month, Sister Li and I were separated?" ”

Li Niangzi is both helpless and embarrassed, she was originally a lowly businesswoman, unfortunately married to the wolf-hearted Zhang Jingwen, and subsidized the dowry for him to be the top prize in the examination, but in the end she was framed for adultery with the little girl. Her husband's family gave up, her mother's family didn't recognize her, she fell into the Peach Blossom Nunnery, and she originally wanted this remnant of her life, but she met a noble person in this life.

Whether it is Mrs. Zhou or Gu Qingyi, for her as a mere businesswoman, she has always only looked up, but now she has been helped by them, not to mention getting out of the magic barrier in her heart, and getting a new life.

Now she has become an embroidery lady in Xiuyun Pavilion, and she was also taught palace embroidery needles by Mo Niangzi, all of which are the credit of Gu Qingyi! Just because she will become the mistress of the Qin Palace, she, the sister she knew during the trouble, was pushed to a high position, she has been uneasy in her heart, she always feels that all this came unprepared, suddenly in a dream, as soon as she wakes up from the dream, she becomes nothing again.

After all, Gu Qingyi will be the high-ranking princess of Qin in the future, how can she remember her sister when she was in her last days? It was precisely because of this apprehension that she was restrained and uneasy, and called "Miss Gu" politely and unfamiliarly, but unexpectedly made Gu Qingyi unhappy.

However, Gu Qingyi's attitude made her happy in her heart, and the nervousness on her face relaxed, but she still said, "There is a difference between respect and inferiority, you will be Princess Qin in the future, if I don't know the etiquette, it will always make people laugh." ”

Gu Qingyi saw that she was still like this, and glanced at her unhappily, "You and I sisters have fellowship, what kind of etiquette do you want?" You can call me a sister, see who dares to speak. ”

Mrs. Li's face immediately turned red, and when Mrs. Mo and the shopkeeper Xu saw this, they hurriedly gaged and said that they agreed, and finally persuaded Mrs. Li to come over, so that everyone was happy.

After sitting for more than half an hour, Mo Niangzi and the others got up to say goodbye, Gu Qingyi did not force them to stay, and there were more opportunities to meet in the future, so they asked Mama Xu to send them a thank you gift and send them out of the house. Mo Niangzi and the others drove away with the front foot, and the back foot of the Qin Wangfu came, and what they sent was the phoenix crown specially made by the King of Qin, and now she had all the clothes she needed to get married.

Gu Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, although she knew that King Qin was reliable, but the wedding dress and phoenix crown had not landed for a day, she was always worried, and now it was prepared the day before getting married, which was not satisfactory.

Everything is in place, just wait for tomorrow to get married.
