Chapter 530: Father's Mind (Part 2)
There are more and more people who come to the door one after another to deliver the pressure box gifts, and most of the people from the clan and your mansion have come, all of them are the wife of the prince or the eldest daughter-in-law who came to the door in person, and the pressure box gifts sent are also very valuable, all of them are polite, and they are even more intimate with Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Mingzhu also knew that it was because of the attitude of the Queen Mother, as well as the power of the Cui family and the Gu family, and the name of the Lingling County Lord was not small, so it was no wonder that these mansions were vying to be the first to tie the knot, and a pressure box ceremony was more lively than the personal welcome of many mansions.
Mao's body was inconvenient, so Gu Mingyu came forward to help with the dots, so that the ladies and ladies who came to send the pressure box gift were even more affectionate, praising Gu Mingzhu's marriage, praising the Cui family and Cui Lin, inquiring about the dowry and dowry, and looking at each other's pressure box gifts, which was lively for a long time, and then gradually dispersed.
Seeing that everyone was scattered, and sent Gu Mingyu and Anping out of the house, Mao smiled and said to Gu Mingzhu: "County Lord, I also brought the box with me." ”
If it is an ordinary lady who has not come out of the cabinet, I am afraid that she will not understand, but Gu Mingzhu is a person who has lived again, and she has also experienced this in her previous life, so she was a little shy, but her face was not exposed at all, and she lowered her head and said softly: "Second Aunt Xie." ”
Mao smiled and sat down with her in the room, pulling her up and down to look at her: "Our county lord really feels better the more he looks at it, I like this kind of character and appearance." ”
Compared with what she said when she first saw Gu Mingzhu, at this time, she felt that Gu Mingzhu was good and praised it sincerely.
Gu Mingzhu thanked him generously.
Only then did Mao wave away the maidservant, but let the grandmother on the side bring a large lacquered wood plate covered with brocade in front of Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Mingzhu glanced at it quickly, her face was even hotter, she didn't dare to look at it more, she already knew what was inside.
There are purses, handkerchiefs and two immortals, but this purse handkerchief is different from others, embroidered with the couple's spring palace map, originally this should be the mother and the daughter to marry the pressure box gift, but also to teach a daughter to be a wife, but the long room has no wife, this responsibility also fell on Mao.
Fortunately, Mao really liked Gu Mingzhu, so he really taught her carefully as if she was his daughter, and said it in many places very carefully, so that Gu Mingzhu blushed even more, and listened to her uncomfortably.
“…… Harmony between husband and wife is the way to prosper the family, even if there are other firewood, rice, oil and salt, it is just a trivial matter, and it can't hurt the root. Mao said for a long time, and finally became thirsty, and took a bite of the soup brought up by the maidservant, before sighing, "You see that I am not the same with your second uncle, I stumbled before, and I was also cold-hearted, but after this, he is like a different person, and now he has grown up, and he seriously helps your father take care of the chores." ”
"Yesterday, I went to a few shops to face the tent and came back, and I was worried about bringing back two horses of silk material from the West Market, saying that they wanted to make new clothes with me."
Mao said with a sweet smile on his face, and he no longer had the same heart as when Old Madam Gu left, and even Gu Mingzhu looked happy for her.
"The second aunt is a blessed person, and the days to come will definitely get better and better."
Mao pulled her and nodded again and again: "The same is true for the county lord, it's just that you are married to Boling, and it is rare to be able to return to the mansion, I am really reluctant." ”
She said a few words, and suddenly clapped her hands: "Look at my memory, patronizing and chatting with you, forgetting to get down to business." ”
Gu Mingzhu didn't know why, she didn't come to deliver the pressure box gift, it had already been delivered, how could she still say that there was something serious?
I saw that Mao called the little maid in, took a box and sent it to Gu Mingzhu, and said with a smile: "The general asked people to bring a message from the Xishan camp, and specially asked me to prepare it, and I also made a box for you." ”
Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect it to be ordered by Gu Qing, and she was a little stunned for a while.
At Mao's urging, she hesitantly opened the box, but there was a ticket for the Shengchang cabinet inside.
She didn't understand for a while, and looked up at Mao.
Mao sighed softly, and then said slowly: "Your father asked your second uncle to fold the three shops in the mansion in the West Market, exchanged them for five hundred gold, and ordered his subordinates to send them to Boling quickly, and they were stored in the cabinet shop, saying that when you go to Boling, you can take it out with the ticket." ”
"This money is not written on the dowry list, he is afraid that if you have anything in the future, you can also have yourself around you, so that your godmother-in-law will know that you have moved to dowry, which is a painstaking work."
Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a while, how could she not understand Mao's meaning, Gu Qing was all thinking about her.
Originally, when the two mansions were separated, there was nothing left in the general's mansion, most of them were some unprofitable Zhuangzi and shops, and then some private property in Gu Qing's hands, all of which were used for public use, but now it was for her to discount three shops in the West Market, and these money were not used for marriage, that is, they could not be seen by outsiders for face, but it was really convenient for her, and it would not be difficult for her to use it.
Gu Qing really thought about her, and bothered for this daughter who married far away.
Looking at Gu Mingzhu stunned, Mao also knew that this father and daughter had a deep knot, so he could only whisper on the side: "You married Boling far away, and your father was afraid that he would not be able to take care of you. ”
Gu Qing's temperament has been a lonely minister for many years, and he rarely interacts with people, but now he has used so many methods for her.
Gu Mingzhu slowly turned her face away, not looking at the ticket, nor at the Mao family, looking stunned.
Mao's order stopped, and he smiled and said something else: "Later, the Cui family will send a dowry to come, and I ordered someone to greet me outside the mansion." ”
She looked outside and shook her head with a smile: "The county lord's mansion is still spacious, otherwise I'm really afraid that I won't be able to put down so much, the dowry list is so long, even I was shocked when I saw it." ”
This is the truth, the opening of the dowry list really taught Gu Mingzhu and the Mao family to be shocked, the Mao family is not enough, at most, it is just to help handle Gu Mingyu's marriage, but it is also a royal wedding, the dowry is naturally not small, but Gu Mingzhu has seen a lot of the world, and even seen the dowry and dowry list of his mother Xuanyang eldest princess, and he was also taken aback when he saw the Cui family's send.
As the saying goes, "a man lifts a woman and a pick", even if it is a dowry for Princess Shang, it is at most sixty-four lifts, but it is also a dowry of sixty-four lifts, and the Cui family is too expensive, and the list is full of written items that are enough to make everyone staggered.
This makes the Gu family quite satisfied, at least from the dowry list, the Cui family values Gu Mingzhu.
