In the future, the dowry of the Cui family was sent to the county lord's mansion.

It was the second lady of Cui Mansion in Chang'an who came to send it in person, she smiled and greeted the Mao family, and asked people to carry the dowry into the county lord's mansion one by one, from the first to carry the door, to the last lift, it took half an hour.

Looking at the smooth ebony cages that filled the entire open hall, Mrs. Cui nodded and said with satisfaction: "It finally lives up to the trust." ”

Seeing that it was sixty-four, but this cage was full of all kinds of objects, she started to read it from Cui's mansion, and there were still many unfinished readings before she arrived at the alley of the general's mansion, but fortunately she knew it in her heart, and she stepped up her speed to complete the ode.

Mao hurriedly invited her to the main hall to use tea and soup, and wanted to keep her for dinner.

Second Mrs. Cui resigned with a smile: "Second Madam don't have to be polite, tomorrow our two families will be busy, and there are still many things to do, so I won't bother, and I'll come back to say hello to the second lady after a while." ”

This is the truth, so Mao didn't keep her and sent her out with a smile.

When he turned around, he smiled with Gu Mingzhu: "In the past, I thought that everyone in the family was high, and it was difficult to get along with, but after seeing them these days, I still feel that they are kind and generous, and they are easier to get close to than those ladies of your mansion, which I can't think of." ”

The last time Xiao Dingli saw Mrs. Cui, she was also kind and kind, and compared with many noble ladies who had eyes above the top, Mao had a better impression.

Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled, but she knew in her heart that the people in the family may not be easier to get along with than those in the family, but they value their style and bearing more, and they are willing to get along peacefully with the people they can see.

Mao's didn't have much interest in discussing this at this time, and pulled Gu Mingzhu to see the dowry with a smile: "Let's go and take a look, but when I looked at the one that came in, even the picker was bent." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled and accompanied her to see it.

Opening the cage, although the two of them had already read the dowry list and were mentally prepared, they were still startled.

In the past, there will always be some exaggeration on the list of dowry gifts, such as ten pairs of red gold dragon and phoenix bracelets, which may not be all solid, most of them will be prepared in half with solid and hollow, not to mention those three animals and six animals.

But the dowry gifts sent by the Cui family are all the same, full of money, and everything is good, even if you are picky, you can't find anything bad.

Mao looked at the colorful gifts spread in the cage, and smiled for a long time: "The Cui family is really attentive, and the county lord will definitely not be wronged if he marries in the past." ”

Gu Mingzhu blushed and didn't speak, and Mao didn't tease her much, and explained a few more words, and then took someone back to the general's mansion.

Gu Mingzhu is out of the county lord's mansion, which is the common meaning of Gu Qing and Gu Mingzhu, and it is also to thank the eldest princess of Xuanyang.

The day passed in a hurry, and soon night had fallen.

Gu Mingzhu instructed the kitchen to make a banquet, asked the little maid to invite Mama Han and a few grandmothers to come, and then called Abi Xiaokui and a few people who were waiting for her, and sat down in the inner hall neatly, and everyone ate together.

Mama Han and Abi are close to Gu Mingzhu, but they are quite comfortable, but those grandmothers have rarely come to Gu Mingzhu, so they are inevitably a little restrained, and they dare not speak.

Gu Mingzhu looked at them and laughed, and looked at Mama Han: "Don't be restrained, you have served by my side all these years, and now eating together can be regarded as my gratitude." ”

Mama Han hurriedly got up: "This is the county lord's intention, although the maid and the others are ashamed, they dare not resign." ”

She sat down and took the wine cup and saluted Gu Mingzhu first, and with her taking the lead, the few did the same, and after eating a few glasses of wine, they were able to let go.

Gu Mingzhu was eating and laughing with them, listening to them talk, and after a while, he opened his mouth again: "This time I went to Boling, I'm afraid it will take a long time to go back to Chang'an once, there can't be no one in the house here, and some people must be left to take care of it." ”

The grandmother and the maidservants all heard that Gu Mingzhu was not an ordinary gossip, this was to explain the errand, so they were busy putting down the chopsticks and sitting down respectfully, waiting for Gu Mingzhu's orders.

Mama Han thought about it and opened her mouth: "The county lord marries Boling, there can't be no powerful people around him, I'm afraid that the county lord's mansion will be empty for a long time, and no one can guard it, the maid is the oldest in the mansion, and she is used to being in the county lord's mansion, so let's stay and take care of it." ”

She said easily, but in her eyes, she was reluctant to bow her head.

How could Gu Mingzhu not hear it, Mama Han was trying not to make it difficult for herself, for fear that she would not be able to pick people. After all, it would be good to be able to follow Boling to serve in front of the master, and the county lord's mansion in Chang'an will only have an empty name in the future, and staying behind can only wait for the elderly.

Mama Han was afraid that she would drag herself down.

Gu Mingzhu looked at her and said: "I have been served by my grandmother since I was a child, there was no way to enter the palace before, but now I have to go so far, and there is no grandmother in front of me to make up my mind, it is still not safe." ”

Mama Han looked up in surprise, only to see Gu Mingzhu looking at her with a smile: "Mama go to Boling with me, there must always be an old minister who will help watch in front of you." ”

She looked at Abi Xiaokui again: "You two have always followed me, are you willing to go to Boling?" ”

Ah Bi and Xiao Kui had been waiting for her for a long time, and bowed down together: "The maid and others are willing to serve the county lord." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded, and looked at the rest of the people: "I'll let Mama Han help pick people for a while, but whoever goes to Boling, you must remember that you are all my people, and you are on the same rope as me, you must be screwed together and do what I say, I can ensure that you are safe and smooth, if anyone dares to have two hearts......"

Her smile turned cold: "It's not like you haven't seen me these days, and you should know my means." ”

Those maids and grandmothers couldn't help but turn a little pale, and they didn't dare to speak.

It's just that Gu Mingzhu smiled as before: "Those who stay in Chang'an don't have to think about it, take care of the county lord's mansion, I won't treat you badly, and your monthly money will rise by ten times." ”

This sentence immediately lit up the faces of those people, and they rejoiced, and thanked Gu Mingzhu again and again, it was a lot of extra ten yuan a month, and most of the savings could be added every year.

After Gu Mingzhu finished talking to them, looking at their happy appearance, she was also satisfied, smiled and sat down, finished the meal with them, and then asked Mama Han to pick someone and go back to the room by herself.

All the things were packed up, and everything that was going to be prepared for the next day was also ready, Gu Mingzhu bathed and changed clothes under Abi's service, sat on the couch with her hair scattered, and held the scroll sent by Cui Lin in her hand.

Ah Bi put down the curtain, closed the window, and covered the glass lampshade before turning around and saying to Gu Mingzhu with a smile: "It's not early, the county lord should rest early, but I have to get up early tomorrow morning." ”

Tomorrow is a big gift in person, and the auspicious time cannot be delayed.

Gu Mingzhu closed the scroll and chuckled: "Tonight is your night, go down and rest early." ”

She was lying on the mat, but her eyes were shining at the book, tomorrow is to welcome her, she will marry the Cui family and become his wife.

That day is finally coming.
