Chapter 308: An Unexpected Little Gift (Second Update)
Liu's mood is indescribably good, the original bright face added a bit of joy, a goose yellow and silver mud shirt, sprinkled with flowers and pomegranate skirts, and the head is specially hairpinned with velvet flowers, which is more gorgeous than usual.
She instructed the maidservants to prepare the fruit cakes and tea properly, and on the other hand, she instructed the mothers-in-law to arrange the window flowers and carpets properly, and the dendrobium placed in the main hall was also replaced by a multicolored and two fairy bottles, and the half of the lotus in the bottle bloomed just right.
Even the servants were wearing newly made robes, which she bothered to make, in order to let the Duchess of Yanguo, who came to make a small decision for a while, and her relatives to see the sincerity of the Gu family, they were sincere in this family business.
After being busy for a while, he looked at the time, the carriage sent by the Yanguo Mansion to Xiaoding should come, and the Liu family hurriedly helped the sideburns, adjusted the dress and went to Songshou Temple.
"Old lady, everything has been arranged, just wait for the people from the Yanguo Mansion to arrive." Liu said softly, stepped forward to help the old lady Gu get up, "The general is not in the mansion, and the old lady has to be asked to preside over it in person." ”
Old Madam Gu glanced at her: "What about Erlang's daughter-in-law?" It's not that she's already ready to be in charge, why don't you see her here now? ”
Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu felt a faint pain in her chest, how could Gu Mingzhu help Mao's outstanding, obviously she could drive Mao's back to Qingzhou, but there were branches, I was afraid that Mao's would really come out to be in charge in the future.
Liu shook his head: "The second lady didn't come out, and the concubine sent someone to invite her after a while." ”
This is Gu Mingyu's small ceremony, if there is not even a lady in the main house in the house, I am afraid that it will not look good on my face.
Old Madam Gu snorted, she was still an acquaintance of the Mao family, so she didn't dare to really come out and grab the right to give money, and when she finished Gu Mingyu's business, she would come back and clean her up!
She took Liu's hand and got up, and walked towards the main hall with the maids and grandmothers, and asked again as she walked, "Where is Mingyu?" But after dressing up, she will have to give a ceremony in a while, so she must not be rude. ”
Liu Shi responded with a smile: "It's all arranged, Amin and the two of them helped the third lady dress up, and Mingli accompanied her to sit in the hugging house in the inner hall." ”
It's really strange to say, the previous discussion with the Yanguo Mansion was hidden from Gu Mingyu, just for fear that she would have more trouble if she knew, but yesterday everyone already knew that today was going to make a small decision with the Yanguo Mansion, Gu Mingyu didn't react, quietly didn't mean anything else, even the morning dressing was played by Amin and the others, but it seemed that they accepted this marriage as a matter of course.
Maybe Gu Mingyu heard that the other party was the sixth lang of the Yanguo Mansion, and the talents of the Lun family were extremely good, so I felt that this was a good marriage.
Liu sneered secretly, she let people inquire clearly, that Liulang is afraid that he doesn't love red faces and bearded eyebrows! hooked up with the drama of the peony class, otherwise he wouldn't have said so many family affairs, and only Gu Mingyu, a fool, would be willing to marry happily.
It's okay to save her a lot of effort.
When she arrived at the main hall and looked at it, Old Madam Gu finally nodded with satisfaction: "You are doing things properly, I am relieved, and I will make good arrangements for a while, don't let them pick out any courtesies, it will not be good if this family business is broken." ”
Liu responded with a smile.
There was a lively noise outside, and the maidservant hurriedly came in to bow down: "The Duchess of Yanguo is here with a few ladies." ”
Old Madam Gu nodded with a smile and instructed the Liu family: "You go and welcome the in-laws and the lady in, and then let Mingli accompany her third sister to the side and wait, it will be proper for a while." ”
She still didn't feel at ease, lest something go wrong and ruin such a lucrative marriage.
The Duchess of Yanguo was dressed up happily today, with five halos Luo gold mud big sleeves and wide skirts, a monofilament Luo red ground silver mud skirt, and a bright gold back comb on her head, but for some reason her face was tense and tight, and she couldn't see a trace of joy, she took several respected ladies in the Feng family to walk inside, and she didn't even take a look at the scenery of the General's Mansion, and kept walking under her feet.
It wasn't until she saw Liu's saluting her that she pulled the corners of her mouth: "It's more polite, it's better to make a salute quickly, don't delay the auspicious time." ”
Liu Shi smiled and nodded: "What Madam said is very true, you can't delay the time, the concubine has already ordered everyone to be ready, and the old lady is already waiting in the hall." ”
She smiled and personally led the way to several ladies in front, invited them into the hall, and then stepped aside with a smile.
Old Madam Gu greeted the ladies of the Yanguo Mansion and exchanged a few words.
Those few people were very surprised when they heard that Liulang had set up a marriage at first, although Liulang's affair was covered up in every possible way in the house, but after all, everyone knew about it, and they didn't expect that there was still a lady in the mansion who was willing to marry him, and then they were even more surprised when they heard that it was the lady of the Hussar General's Mansion.
Duchess Yan Guo was a little absent-minded, looked at the hall, and said to Liu: "Why don't you see the lady in the house?" ”
Liu's smile was even softer and more humble: "I'm already waiting in the hug building, just waiting for the salute to come out to greet the ladies." ”
As she spoke, she said affectionately: "It is also a blessing in our house to be able to marry the house, Mrs. just rest assured, the old lady has already ordered it, and it is all arranged, and it will not be rude, I just hope that the two families can get together as a family, and they can be closer in the future and help each other." ”
Several ladies saw that the Liu family could speak well, and they were arranging various things, and they also knew that she must be the concubine in front of Mrs. Gu's face, so they all smiled and nodded: "Auntie is right, this kind of family affair is a match made in heaven, and the two families will have to go back and forth more in the future, and everything can be taken care of." ”
Liu was secretly proud, but he lowered his head and said that he didn't dare to be.
Duchess Yan Guo fidgeted, and finally spoke: "It's not too early, let's salute first." ”
Old Madam Gu also nodded, and instructed the Liu family: "Go and call Mingyu over." ”
According to the rules, this small gift is that the mother-in-law handed over the gift to the lady, which can be regarded as a satisfactory recognition of her, so that the marriage is decided.
Gu Mingyu was dressed brightly and movingly, and was sent to the hall with great dignity, and when she arrived at the Yanguo Mansion, she stood still, she lowered her head slightly, neither saluted nor spoke, but just lowered her eyes as usual.
Old Madam Gu glanced at her very dissatisfied, it was this stupid and dull appearance, and it was useless to stay in the mansion, but I was afraid that no powerful family could take a fancy to her, so it was most appropriate to marry the Yanguo Mansion in exchange for some dowry.
She glared at Gu Mingyu angrily, and then smiled and said to the Duchess of Yanguo, who was standing with a small ceremony, "Just ask the in-laws to give a full salute." ”
But the Duchess of Yanguo didn't look at Gu Mingyu as if she hadn't heard it, but looked out of the hall: "Why haven't you seen the fourth lady in the house, please come to the full ceremony!" ”
