Chapter 428: Dowry and Box Pressing (2nd Update) (Page 1/1)

Guo Sanlang, who had read the secret letter at a glance, turned completely white, raised his head and looked at Guo Taishi in disbelief: "Father, this, how can this be ......?"

Siyang's secret letter said that there were rumors in Siyang City at some point, saying that there was a gold mine on the mountain outside the western suburbs, and someone had dug up gold on the mountain.

What's worse is that the Guo family's copper and iron mine is in the mountains in the western suburbs!

Seeing that the mine was about to be revealed, the steward guarding the mine hurriedly sent a secret letter to Chang'an, waiting for the Taishi Mansion to decide what to do, whether to defend the mine or withdraw in time.

Guo Sanlang almost couldn't believe his eyes, how could such a rumor be a good one, and it became an uncontrollable situation, if those gold diggers dig in the western suburbs for a few more days, I am afraid that the mine not far from Siyang City will soon appear, then the Taishi Mansion will not be affected.

He looked up at Taishi Guo in a daze: "Father, how should this be?" Those two mines ......"

Guo Taishi has never been so angry and corrupt as he is now, he has been in the officialdom for many years, he is sensitive to the fact that it must not be simple, first the matter of the Yanguo Mansion, and now there are rumors, but it also happens to be near the copper and iron mine, if no one intends to manipulate it, he does not believe it.

But now he doesn't have time to find out who did this, but to find a way to deal with the current crisis, if he delays any longer, he is afraid that soon the mine will be revealed, and even the Taishi Mansion will be implicated, and it will be difficult to keep the secret of the Guo family at that time.

Such a big thing, even if the saint trusted him very much, it would not be forgiving.

He had no choice but to make a choice immediately, whether to take the risk and continue to stay in the mine, or let people evacuate to keep the Guo family safe as much as possible.

However, this is not a multiple-choice question.

He couldn't risk the lives of the Guo family.

After all, there was good news, just when he ordered someone to expedite a letter to Siyang to evacuate the mine, the news of the ship also came, and there were ships willing to help them transport ore, but the reward was not low.

If the ore can be transported out in time, it can finally recover some losses, he was a little comforted in his heart, and asked people to bring news to Siyang, so that the people over there could send the ore to the ship as much as possible, and wait for the news later.

The day before Prince Chen Liu's greeting, Gu Mingzhu accompanied Princess Qi to the Cen family in Shilang's Mansion to give a dowry gift.

Princess Qi is a respected princess, most of the weddings of the clan are attended by her, and she is familiar with the way, but the queen of heaven asked Gu Mingzhu to go over with her, Princess Qi naturally promised to take her with her, and talked to her affectionately along the way, and even pulled her in when she arrived at Cen Mansion.

The Cen Mansion had been waiting for a long time, and after thanking her, Old Madam Cen personally invited Princess Qi and Gu Mingzhu to go to the main hall to eat tea and sit down.

Princess Qi was a kind person, and when she talked to Old Madam Cen, Third Madam Cen looked at Gu Mingzhu and sat down beside her with a complicated face.

"County Lord, I haven't seen you for a while, and I've lost a few points." Mrs. Cen San didn't know where to start for a while, and her tone was apprehensive and a little sad.

She had heard about Gu Mingzhu in the palace, and knew that now Gu Mingzhu was no longer the eldest lady of the Gu family who relied on entering the palace to study and seek self-preservation, and now even the previous dynasty began to dare not underestimate this county lord, but she couldn't help but think that if Gu Mingzhu didn't have the support of her family and the protection of her parents, she could only survive alone in the calculations of others, how could she be willing to live in such a complex situation in the palace.

Compared with Cen Liuniang, how difficult it should be for Gu Mingzhu.

She really felt sorry for Gu Mingzhu, but she also noticed that her daughter and Gu Mingzhu had become more and more estranged, although she didn't know what happened between the little ladies, but she also knew that she had married Chen Liuwang in her house, and she and Gu Mingzhu were gradually estranged after all.

She could only sigh secretly, worried about Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu was very gentle to Mrs. Cen San, and said to her with a smile: "Madame looks good at her spirits, I'm afraid I've been worrying a lot these days." ”

Third Lady Cen sighed lightly: "I'm okay, I have these people in the house to help with it, and I haven't bothered too much." ”

While she was talking, Cen Liuniang came in with her maidservant and thanked Princess Qi and Gu Mingzhu, she is not Princess Chenliu now, Princess Qi and Gu Mingzhu are here on behalf of the palace, so naturally they can't miss the courtesy.

Princess Qi was still ordinary, told her to get up with a smile, praised her a few words, and said politely: "In the future, we will be a family, so there is no need to be polite." ”

Cen Liuniang got up, but when she saw Gu Mingzhu, her face stiffened slightly, and she quickly returned to her senses, stepped aside, and didn't talk to Gu Mingzhu much.

Princess Qi smiled and instructed the maid to come forward with a box: "I have always been close to the house, and today I can be regarded as a representative of the palace and my mother's family, and this pressure box ceremony is still indispensable." ”

Old Madam Cen and the third lady naturally accepted it with a thousand thanks, and they also knew that this was the etiquette of Princess Qi, they were all from the clan, and they would not see each other when they looked up in the future, she was just doing personal favors according to the rules.

Gu Mingzhu also instructed Abi to come out with a gift: "The third lady took great care of me in the past, and I am also very grateful, and today I also prepared a gift for the sixth lady as a pressure box gift." ”

She didn't mention Cen Liuniang, she only said the love of Mrs. Chengsan, and the meaning of her words was also very clear.

Mrs. Cen's face darkened, she sighed lowly, pulled out a smile and asked the maid to take it, and said, "Please also ask the princess and the county lord to stay in the mansion for a while, and prepare a banquet to express gratitude." ”

Princess Qi smiled: "I understand the good intentions of the house, I still have to go back to the palace to reply, but if the county lord is free, you can stay for a while, and I will say it for you in the queen of heaven." ”

She saw that Gu Mingzhu seemed to be very grateful to Mrs. Cen San, so she wanted to be a favor and sell well.

Third Lady Cen looked at Gu Mingzhu expectantly, Gu Mingzhu smiled lightly: "It's still not possible, the palace still has to arrange things to welcome tomorrow, I'm afraid that there are many things to do in the house, so I won't bother, I'll come to the house to visit Mrs. another day." ”

Mrs. Cen San smiled a little reluctantly, and glanced at the sixth lady Cen sitting there without saying a word, and finally could only sigh again and give up.

Gu Mingzhu and Princess Qi returned to the palace and returned to the queen of heaven together, preparing to welcome the next day, after all, there are still many things to arrange in the palace.
