Chapter 109: Returning Home to Get Married
Gu Qingyi naturally responded, and returned to Minghui Courtyard with the undissipated flush on his face to pack his things.
Although she has only lived for half a month, her father-in-law has bought her a lot of things these days, but she doesn't plan to bring them all back, and her stepmother also said that she can come back to live for a few days when she has time in the future, and it is cheaper to leave things. The main thing is to clean up the purse that needs to be rewarded after marriage, as well as the clothes made for King Qin and other necessary things.
She hesitated a few times, and finally said hello to her two sisters-in-law and Zhou Huiru before leaving.
Lee and Chen's attitude towards her can be regarded as almost eager. She got the good things of the Hou Mansion as a dowry, and the Li and Chen families definitely didn't like it in their hearts, but it was a foregone conclusion and it was useless to care, and the two began to value her identity as the future princess of Qin, if they could befriend her, they would be able to have a few more chips in the future.
Gu Qingyi knew this, and ignored their flattery and flattery, and his attitude towards the two of them was impartial, and he did not give any promises. No matter who the Marquis of Dingyuan Mansion inherits in the future, it will not have much impact on her, after all, her position is different, she is destined not to have a deep intersection with these two concubines, but she is just maintaining face.
The biological mother of the two concubines of the Hou Mansion both died of a violent illness, and when you think of the resentful attitude of the stepmother, many things are self-evident.
Compared with the attitude of the two sisters-in-law, Zhou Huiru's attitude is very cold. Gu Qingyi can probably guess the reason, in the final analysis, it is still the dowry.
She has already read the list of dowries prepared by her stepmother, in addition to the dowry left by her aunt, that is, her cousin's mother, in order to save her reputation, Gu Fu did not hesitate to add makeup to her, not only the thirty-two dowry gifts sent by the King of Qin were all used as dowries, but also a number of grange shops, all of which were good locations that could not be bought with silver. The Gu Mansion is like this, and the Hou Mansion is not bad. There are many famous paintings, gold and silver jewelry, grange shops, precious wood and cloth, and a large amount of silver, etc., and the good things that are moved in and out every day are enough to make people blush.
In this way, although her dowry was prepared in a hurry, it was not shabby at all, and she left one hundred and twenty-eight lifts, which was originally intended to exceed this number, just to not steal the limelight of the crown princess, many things turned from light to dark, and good things were not given at all. And Zhou Huiru, as a serious Houfu girl, has only sixty-four dowries.
In principle, Zhou Huiru, as a concubine, has a dowry of sixty-four in Beijing, and there is no shortage of good things prepared for her by the Hou Mansion, and there is no disadvantage compared to her eldest sister. It's just that people are always greedy and insufficient, and they are afraid of comparison, with Gu Qingyi's example, Zhou Huiru watched it day by day, and gradually began to blush, always feeling that he was greedy for the good things of the Hou Mansion.
She didn't want to think about it, Gu Qingyi's one hundred and twenty-eight dowry was not just prepared by the Hou Mansion. In addition, King Qin's identity is unusual, compared to the ordinary family she married into, the dowry is always more magnificent so as not to lose face.
It's just that Zhou Huiru has already drilled the tip of the horns, and Gu Qingyi always has a nose that is not a nose, and an eye that is not an eye, Gu Qingyi doesn't need to iron her cold ass, when she arrives in her yard, she just sits down slightly, and gets up and leaves without even drinking tea.
The Tao is different, not conspiring with each other, that's all.
The stepmother knew that she was going to say goodbye, but she didn't say anything, and went back to the house with her early the next morning.
Gu Kangwen received the news in advance that he did not go to the government that day, and even the "seriously ill" Zhang and Gu Wenyin began to get better because of the happy event, after all, Gu Qingyi was going to get married, and it was always unlucky to have a sick person in the family.
Therefore, when Gu Qingyi returned home on this day, he was very fortunate to be ceremoniously received by the Gu Mansion. Gu Mansion is now riddled with scandals and discredited, no matter how displeased Gu Kangwen and the others are, they have to put on a suitable posture, because Gu Mansion can no longer afford to suffer a little bit of wind and rain.
Gu Qingyi was both emotional and complicated in her heart, and she never dreamed that her relationship with her uncle would be so bad. She lost her mother at a young age, and she has empathy and affection for her similar-looking uncle, and her heart is full of respect. It's just that on the first day after being reborn, this emotion was whipped to pieces by his merciless whip, coupled with a series of his inactions, the only remaining feelings slowly dissipated.
Not only her, but even the remnants of her cousin's ruins are no longer traced.
For Gu Kangwen, family affection is always no match for his position and career that he has worked hard for decades. Gu Qingyi thought that she would probably not be able to comprehend her uncle's state of mind for a lifetime.
After bowing to her parents, Mrs. Zhou stayed behind to discuss with Gu Kangwen and Zhang's about giving the dowry, while Gu Qingyi took the slaves and maids back to Yusheng Courtyard.
Mama Xu was overjoyed when she saw her, and said with red eyes, "The girl is finally back, these days the slave maid always thinks about you, so I am worried that you are not used to living in the Hou Mansion, and your body is not good, now that you look good, the slave and maid are finally relieved." ”
Gu Qingyi not only walks every day to keep fit, but also eats precious supplements, except for the two grandmothers who are pestering, there is no bad thing to worry about, naturally she has a comfortable life, and her complexion is naturally much better than some time ago. At this time, she smiled at Mama Xu's concern and said, "Mama loves to worry about it, with my stepmother, where will I be wronged." These days you have to guard the yard, it's hard. ”
Mama Xu didn't work hard, beckoned the little maid to fetch hot water to wash her face, and waited for her to change into a set of homely clothes, Gu Qingyi's slightly tired body was completely relaxed. She was lying on the chaise longue and was drowsy, when Qiu Yan came in and said, "Girl, the second lady is here." ”
With the lesson of the last time, and being beaten by Mama Xu again, Qiu Yan no longer dared to make her own opinions, even if Gu Qingyi looked sleepy, she didn't dare to hide it and not report it, for fear of upsetting her own girl like last time.
Fortunately, her choice was right, Gu Qingyi was not displeased, opened her sleepy eyes, and didn't get up, just said in a lazy voice, "Please let her in." ”
Gu Wenyin walked in quickly, as if she wanted to enhance her momentum, she was dressed extraordinarily bright and gorgeous today, and even her makeup was extraordinarily heavy, and she raised her five-point appearance by two layers, but she also had a somewhat moving appearance, but the distortion on her face flashed and destroyed the overall beauty, although she quickly returned to normal, she had already left a bad impression, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that she was a femme fatale.
Whether it was in her previous life or in this life, Gu Qingyi didn't like this second cousin, and now her body is extremely easy to get tired, and she didn't bother to get up at this time, seeing that she just greeted lazily, "It turns out that the second sister is here, please take a seat." I don't know what happened when the second sister suddenly came to the door? ”
Gu Wenyin was obviously angry about her contemptuous attitude, but the abnormal thing was that she actually endured it, sat down on the low pier with a smile, and said, "I disturbed my sister's rest." A while ago, I sewed some reward purses, and my sister is going out tomorrow, and if I don't send it to my sister, I won't have a chance, so I took the liberty to bother, and asked my sister not to blame. ”
Gu Qingyi raised her eyebrows in surprise, only then did she notice that the slave maid she brought was holding a small box in her hand, Gu Wenyin took it and opened it, revealing the delicate and gorgeous purse sewn inside, she smiled and said, "I don't make much, only twenty, and please don't dislike my poor craftsmanship, take it to reward people,"
Gu Qingyi took out a purse and looked at it, and found that the purse was of the highest quality both in terms of fabric and stitches, which showed that the sewing person had put a lot of effort into it, but anyone who had seen it could not help but say yes. This kind of high-quality purse cannot be used to reward slaves and maids, and the only use is to put some gadgets for some nobles as a gift, so that Gu Wenyin's Sima Zhao's heart has been revealed.
After she got married, she was the princess of Qin, and the identity of the nobleman she saw was naturally not simple, and the purse used for reward was bound to be mentioned, so Gu Wenyin's reputation as a good woman also spread, which could also slightly reduce her negative reputation for a while.
Gu Wenyin's abacus crackled, it was expected that she would definitely accept her purse and not lose her things. After all, this purse is a symbol of the harmony of sisterhood, and it is only a share of gain for her. Of course, if she really took the credit of Gu Wenyin, she would definitely fall into her arms, and it would inevitably be another lawsuit if it was exposed in the future.
Gu Qingyi showed a clear smile, since Gu Wenyin had a heart, why did she refuse, if the reputation of the Zhang mother and daughter was so easy to clear, she would not have received so many letters of renunciation a while ago. Even if she was framed a while ago, she had to do everything possible to verify her innocence, and this kind of roundabout method will not work.
Waving her hand to let Mama Xu put away her purse, she smiled and thanked Gu Wenyin, "It's hard for my sister to think about me when she is seriously ill, I have written down your intentions, and when my sister gets married in the future, I will add makeup to you to repay this friendship." ”
Gu Wenyin couldn't hold back the smile on her face for a while, revealing shame and hatred. Because of Gu Qingyi, their mother and daughter were discredited, and they had to pretend to be sick to avoid the limelight, and even the people who looked at her before returned the token, and it was predictable that her future family affairs must be difficult. The possibility of marrying into a high-ranking family is cut off, and the only one who can choose is someone who is lower than the lintel of the Gu family.
Both Zhang and Gu Wenyin were very unwilling to this result, so they had today's calculations. It's just that she never expected that not only Gu Qingyi saw through her thoughts, but also was ridiculed, and Gu Wenyin, who couldn't cultivate at home, couldn't control her expression for a while, so she showed resentment.
It wasn't until she saw the smile on Gu Qingyi's face that Gu Wenyin suddenly realized, quickly put away the different colors on her face, and said with a smile, "My marriage is still early, so I'm not in a hurry." As long as my sister can live well, I will be satisfied. ”
Gu Qingyi nodded, "Yes, presumably my mother will carefully select a husband who can be worthy of my sister, my sister is in the flowering period, and it doesn't hurt to wait for a few years." ”
The stiff smile on Gu Wenyin's face couldn't hold it anymore, so she casually found an excuse and left in a hurry, Gu Qingyi was in a good mood, she wanted to take advantage of her, and she didn't weigh her own catties, and she dared to pretend in front of her even if she was doing this.
It's still tender with such means.
