As soon as Gu Mingzhu entered the door, the ladies were busy getting up to greet them, their faces full of smiles, and they saluted respectfully: "The county lord is well, Fuyan New Year." ”

Gu Mingzhu greeted them with a smile, and then looked at the Duchess of Yanguo who was standing there: "Madame is a rare guest, and it is rare to come to the General's Mansion." ”

Duchess Yan Guo had a cold face, and she bent her knees with Gu Mingzhu reluctantly: "County Lord." ”

It's not that she doesn't remember what Yan Guogong explained to her when she came, but she just asked her to bow her head to such a girl, which really made her feel aggrieved and panicked, but she remembered that Gu Mingzhu was unkind to her at the beginning, and she didn't take Gu Mingzhu in her eyes at that time, but now she has to bow her head to the Hussar General's Mansion to listen to such a little lady.

Gu Mingzhu didn't care about her attitude, politely invited a few ladies to sit down, greeted them for a while, and then went straight to the point and said to the Duchess of Yanguo: "Mrs. Lao and I will go to sit in the small flower hall next to it, Mingli and Fushang Liulang's marriage, there are still some things to discuss with Mrs. ”

Duchess Yan couldn't help but look at Mao, seeing her greeting those ladies with a smile, she didn't feel that Gu Mingzhu should come forward at all, and her calm look made all the ladies present suddenly understand that the real head of the General's Mansion today is not the second lady in front of her, but ...... Lord of Lingling.

Those few looked at each other uneasily, it seems that this county lord is really worthy of his reputation, I think not long ago the general's mansion was still the head of the Luo family, then Gu Mingzhu was just a spoiled lady in the mansion, and the reputation was not good, but how long has it been, everything has changed, Luo has become a waste, Gu Mingzhu has become a hot county lord in the palace, even the princess of the concubine is not as good as her honor, and now even the Gu family has fallen into her hands, who dares to say that she is only a temporary luck to get to today.

The Duchess of Yanguo also knew this truth, so she got up and went to sit down with her in the small flower hall on the side, but A was full of indignation, the Duke of Yanguo had already married a concubine aggrievedly, and she was still dissatisfied.

It's just that she didn't expect Gu Mingzhu to sit down, but said to her with a kind face: "I invited Mrs. to come today, I also have something to discuss with Mrs., originally the marriage of the fourth lady should be the elders, but now the eldest lady is very sick, I'm afraid I can't do this, and the second aunt has never done this, so I have to let my eldest sister help me, and I hope that Mrs. won't be surprised." ”

Duchess Yan Guo sneered even more in her heart when she heard this, and her face was cold and indifferent: "The county lord has something to say, please say." ”

Gu Mingzhu said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that there is a little problem in the dowry, and I ask my wife to help." ”

"The dowry set earlier is forty-eight lifts, but one of them is three hundred taels of gold, these days I and the second aunt and I took a look, but I feel bad, thinking that this is the face of the two families after all, or I want to ask Mrs. to exchange the three hundred taels of gold for other dowry, and we will also add some to the dowry, so as to add some joy."

Duchess Yan Guo was surprised at first, but when she came back to her senses, she was full of anger, Gu Mingzhu said that her dowry was less, this was what the Gu family asked for at the beginning, and Mrs. Gu specially asked for three hundred gold, and she didn't care about those dowry things, and it was clear that she was greedy for money.

She originally looked down on people like the Gu family, but it was a wealthy and broken household, if it weren't for the difficult marriage of Liulang, she would not agree to this marriage, I heard that they asked for money and silver, but she was also happy, so that the dowry would not have to be too bothered, as long as someone put the gold in the cage and send it over.

But now Gu Mingzhu said that she wanted to exchange the gold for the dowry, not to mention how troublesome it was to re-purchase it, even if it was not difficult, she would not agree, marry the daughter of a nouveau riche, and ask her to bother preparing the dowry, it is obvious that she wants to find fault with the Yanguo Mansion!

In the small flower hall, Gu Mingzhu and the Duchess of Yanguo were talking, and the Mao family outside greeted a few ladies, but she was also worried in her heart, she also went out to socialize these days, and heard of the reputation of the Duchess of Yanguo from others, but it was not a good match, and now the Gu family wants to change her mind, but I am afraid that she may not be willing to agree.

If Mingli's marriage makes a joke, then Mingyu's marriage will be affected in the future, and even if she marries into the Xianwang Mansion, she will not be able to raise her head.

She couldn't help but sweat, and she was a little distracted even talking to a few ladies.

It wasn't until after a while that Gu Mingzhu and Duchess Yan Guo left the small flower hall and returned to the main hall.

Mao looked at Gu Mingzhu's ordinary face, still a peaceful smile, and couldn't see anything wrong, but the face of the Duchess of Yanguo made her startled, the face that was usually upright was blue and white, her eyes flickered, and she was very uneasy.

She took the tea soup in the handmaid's hand, trembled slightly, and couldn't wait to bring the tea soup to her mouth, but she almost choked, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed several times before it eased up, but it made several ladies on the side look at her in surprise.

She pulled out an ugly smile, hurriedly lowered her head, and didn't even dare to look at Gu Mingzhu who was at the table, looking panicked, which was very different from her usual exquisite temperament, and several people on the side felt strange.

The banquet was dispersed, and the Mao family sent those people out of the house, and hurriedly came back and asked, "County Lord, what did the Duchess of Yanguo say?" But don't agree? ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled: "She will let people change the dowry list tomorrow, and the second aunt just accepts it, and then changes the dowry list after that." ”

So gently and coincidentally agreed?

Mao was a little stunned, and after a while, he hurriedly agreed, but he was at a loss in his heart, he didn't know what Gu Mingzhu said to the Duchess of Yanguo, and let her accept it like this, and there was no request or difficulty, which was really strange.

Gu Mingzhu smiled, didn't explain, and took people back to the county lord's mansion, he will return to the palace tomorrow, and there are still many things to pack.

The Duchess of Yanguo went out of the General's Mansion, and in a panic helped the handmaid to get into the carriage, she didn't even care about saying goodbye to those ladies, and hurriedly urged the coachman to go back to the Mansion, her face was ugly as if she had lost her soul, and the maids who were waiting around her did not dare to speak, they all quietly shrank aside, not understanding why she went to the General's Mansion, but the lady became like this.

Only the Duchess of Yanguo, who was leaning on the pillow and clutching the mattress and not letting go, knew in her heart that when Gu Mingzhu said that the Duke of Yanguo was reselling smuggled salt and smuggling iron ore in the ship shop in the south of the Yangtze River, she was so frightened that she had lost her three souls and seven souls, and she could no longer speak.

She didn't know how Gu Mingzhu knew, and even a few Langjun and ladies in the Yanguo Mansion didn't know about this matter, only the husband and wife knew, but now Gu Mingzhu easily explained clearly how many goods were passed through which wharf, and it was clear that someone had already been installed to follow and secretly investigate.

But how can she, a county lord who has not yet come out of the cabinet, have such great ability? Or the diva behind her?

But no matter which one it is, now it makes the Duchess of Yan Guo feel cold all over her body, and she no longer has the slightest courage to face it, she wants to hurry back to see Yan Guogong to discuss countermeasures.

As for Gu Mingli's dowry, where would she think about it again, she could only agree.
