Chapter 182: Talking About Marriage? Sell your daughter! (2nd Update)
When Mrs. Chu was invited to the General's Mansion again, she was sharp-eyed and found that there was something different in this mansion.
If you want to say what is different, it is probably the clothes worn by the servants in the porter, the drinks brought by the maid sitting in the small flower hall, and the flower and bird interstitial screen placed in front of Old Madam Gu.
She remembered that when she came back for the first time, the porter of the West Mansion was wearing a short dozen cotton silk, and even the shoes were snow-white soft boots.
Sitting in the flower hall, she took only one bite of the drink sent by the little maid, and felt that it was wrong, and the last time she came back was a good tea soup, rich and sweet, but not like this time the green drink, you know that it is boiled and boiled after taking a bite, and the taste is so light that you can't eat it, which is really rude.
Not to mention the flower and bird interstitial, not even the red sandalwood and yellow pear, it is actually an ordinary nanmu, which is completely unlined with the red sandalwood case of this water, and looks like a patch on gorgeous clothes, conspicuous and ugly.
She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that something had happened to the Great General's Mansion, otherwise how could it be like this.
Suddenly, she remembered one thing she had heard before, saying that the General's Mansion had caused official trouble some time ago, and Mrs. Lang Jun in the second room actually bought fake spices and sent them to the palace under the guise of Western Regions spices, and wanted to defraud the Shanggong Bureau, but was sent to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion for more than a full month, and one thing is that the eldest lady of the Gu family asked for the grace of the Queen of Heaven and took back all the family wealth left by the eldest princess of Xuanyang. In the end, it was tens of thousands of gold short.
Could it be that it was because of this, the dignified Hussar General's Mansion Xifu became like this?
Before she had time to think about it, Old Madam Gu had already come in with her maidservant, she glanced at Mrs. Chu deeply, walked behind the screen and sat down, but behind her was a sickly face, and Mrs. Gu Luo, who helped the maid come in slowly, also sat down behind the screen.
Mrs. Chu didn't come back to her senses for a while, did the Gu family take a fancy to the family business of the Yanguo Mansion in such a battle?
"What do you say about the marriage you talked about before?" It was Luo who spoke first, "What about Feng Liulang?" ”
Mrs. Chu heard the meaning, this is a drama, and she is busy with lotus flowers: "Madame is right, it's not that the women boast, this Liulangjun of the Yanguo Mansion is handsome and outstanding, and the talent is not even more talented, poetry, calligraphy and painting are all amazing, treat people modestly, Sven is generous, and Man Chang'an can't pick a few better than him, if it weren't for ......"
Luo coughed and interrupted Chu Pozi's praise: "How can such a good Langjun not be engaged at this time?" ”
The reason why the Gu family's ladies have not been engaged after they are old is because the princess is selected in the palace, and they are all very likely to be married, so they have never discussed marriage, but Feng Liulang is obviously past the age of engagement.
Mrs. Chu's expression was full of joy, and she sighed with a very regretful look: "Don't hide it from the old lady and the lady, Feng Liulangjun has already discussed marriage, and he has already made a small decision, and it is the lady in the Qinghe County Mansion, which is also an excellent marriage." ”
Old Madam Gu was a little puzzled and said, "Since this is the case, why can't it be a family affair?" ”
Mrs. Chu's eyes rolled, and she said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the two of them don't agree, so I made a small decision, that lady became seriously ill, and Feng Liulangjun also had a bad idea, and then there was no way, so I had to dissolve the marriage contract. ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Luo's mouth, it was just a matter of deceiving the child, who in your mansion did not know that they would change the Geng paste when they discussed the marriage, and they had been together at that time, how could they have decided to have a family affair but said that the eight characters did not match, which was clearly an excuse. There must be something terrible happening, so I can't care if I have already made up my mind, and I have to ruin the marriage contract, but I don't know what it is.
Old Madam Gu was not interested in finding out more about what made the Yanguo Mansion and the Qinghe County Mansion regret their marriage, what she cared about was when she could drive Gu Mingzhu out of the trouble.
She frowned and said, "Have you ever asked the Yanguo Mansion when it will be able to make up its mind and when it will be able to welcome you in person." ”
Mrs. Chu sighed in her heart, this general's mansion is really strange, I felt wrong last time, where is the woman's family has not yet said that the marriage is due, so she has been urging to make up her mind and welcome her, but it seems that she can't wait to marry the lady, is it possible that there is something greasy in this?
She was attentive in her heart, and said with a smile: "I have already asked, the Yanguo Mansion naturally promised to choose a good day and an auspicious day to decide, after all, Feng Liulangjun is not small, and it is a good thing to be able to get married soon." ”
Luo's son also felt more and more that there was something wrong with Liulangjun of the Yanguo Mansion, how could Langjun, who was outstanding in character and talent, not be able to settle down at this time, but when he asked, he said that it would be settled as soon as possible, speaking of which, the lady of the Qinghe County Mansion had already married and married, so I was afraid that it was because of this Liulangjun before.
What kind of problem will make the woman's family regret the family affairs that have been set regardless of their reputation? I'm afraid it's a big problem.
She thought about it, but she smiled slightly, so that Gu Mingzhu could regret marrying in the past, be painful and sad, and not be able to raise her head for the rest of her life!
This can slightly compensate for the suffering she and Mingyue have suffered!
She pursed her lips and smiled: "It sounds like a good marriage, if it can really be done, I will be happy to think of the eldest lady." ”
Old Madam Gu had a cold face, she didn't care if Gu Mingzhu was happy or not, what she wanted was to marry Gu Mingzhu as soon as possible, and she could no longer let her stay in the mansion to harm herself.
She stared at Mrs. Chu: "The house over there can say that if it is done, how many dowry gifts can be given?" ”
Nothing else, but the dowry can't be sloppy, Mrs. Gu has already planned it in her heart, anyway, Gu Mingzhu is also the eldest daughter in the house, this dowry must not be missing, otherwise Mingyu and Mingli will follow less, and she still expects to earn a lot of money by relying on Gu Mingzhu's dowry and marrying her.
Her words stunned Mrs. Chu, staring at the Nanmu screen for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses, is the Gu family poor and crazy? The dignified general's mansion didn't even negotiate the marriage, so he began to ask for a dowry, where is this to marry a lady, it's like selling a daughter, and I've never seen such a person!
