Gao Zhilan hasn't passed the door yet, the Xiao family is already a chicken, a dog, and Gao Zhilan's reputation is too bad to be worse, and her life in the Gao family is not as good as before. Even the subordinates pointed at her, so that not only did she not dare to go out of the house, but she even rarely went out of the door.

But the things that should be prepared still have to be prepared, after all, the wedding period is only three months, and Mrs. Gao has to cheer up and start taking care of the dowry.

Just when people were full of enthusiasm and waiting to see how the Gao family would marry their daughter, the emperor suddenly fainted in the early dynasty, which undoubtedly saved the Xiao and Gao families from the cusp.

It's no secret that the emperor's body is getting worse and worse, it's just that no one dares to talk about it, and now he fainted in front of the civil and military officials, which suddenly caused a lot of turmoil. The forces of all parties, which have long been ready to move, appear to be calm, but in fact they have already taken action.

After two days, the emperor issued a letter saying that the dragon body was not safe, and the crown prince was temporarily in charge of the country, except for the civil and military worship, the tribute of the four descendants, and the transfer of the border, other standing affairs did not need to be started, and the prince directly dealt with it. The left and right prime ministers, the ministry, the military department, and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy counseled the superintendents.

As soon as the edict was issued, it could be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the atmosphere above the court became strange. And the most anxious is the Gao family, if the emperor dies, Gao Zhilan's wedding will be delayed, and this delay may not be delayed, this marriage will not be completed for a day, it will always be a heart problem of the Gao family. For this reason, Mrs. Gao could only open her face to discuss with Mrs. Xiao.

Originally, because the relationship between the King of Jin and the Princess of Jin was not bad, the incident between Xiao Hong and Gao Zhilan began to complain to each other, and the two ladies were very wrong when they met.

Hearing Mrs. Gao say that she wanted to advance the wedding date, Mrs. Xiao looked embarrassed: "Mrs. Gao, you also know that my family Hong'er has spent a lot of money when she married his wife Qiu, and now she wants Ming Media to marry Zhilan to be a flat wife, this yard has to be re-covered, and the dowry has to be prepared now, three months is already tight enough, if you want to advance it again, I'm afraid it will not be able to do it." ”

"Mrs. Xiao, I know all this. But now this is also forced by the situation. If it is the ......, he will not be able to marry for at least a year, isn't it delaying the two children? Mrs. Gao said with a smile.

"Well, but what can be done about it?" Mrs. Xiao sighed, "Zhilan, this child was also grown up by me, and she has been likable since she was a child, and I, as a mother-in-law, naturally don't want to wronged her." Besides, this is a flat wife, not a concubine, and it will be enough to take a small sedan chair to the house. Our Xiao family is a small family, and it can't compare to the high-rise mansion compound of your Gao Mansion. Before marrying a daughter-in-law and marrying a girl, I almost hollowed out my family. Now your high mansion has to let me go out and collect money! ”

Mrs. Gao naturally understood what Mrs. Xiao meant, it was nothing more than that marrying Gao Zhilan as a flat wife was not what Xiao Fu wanted, and she was really forced to be impatient, and she was not prepared to give her second son the money to marry another room. Mrs. Xiao just wanted to take this opportunity to keep the cost of marriage as low as possible.

"Mrs. Xiao, I also know that you have difficulties. It's just ......, forget it, don't say anything useless, let's discuss how much this wedding date can be advanced. Mrs. Gao knew that now was not the time to be reasonable, not to mention that she had nothing to talk about, so she could only lower her posture and marry her daughter into the Xiao family as soon as possible.

The two ladies come and go, bargaining, Mrs. Gao promised that the yard does not need to be re-covered, and the Gao family will send someone to clean it up, and the dowry does not need to be too expensive, as long as it looks shabby on the surface. Mrs. Xiao calculated in her heart, in addition to a small courtyard and a low-value dowry, it didn't cost much more money than taking a concubine, and the deal was negotiated. Regardless of whether it is an auspicious day of the zodiac, the date is finally set on the tenth day of the first month of March.

Mrs. Xiao was very efficient, and the dowry was delivered to Gaofu three days later. No one in the Gao family is optimistic about this marriage, and no one cares about the dowry. It was a matter of hastily receiving the person who gave the dowry.

Gao Zhilan looked at the boxes of worthless jewelry, fabrics that could barely be called satin, and some messy things, and her heart felt sour. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she also heard that when the Beining Royal Mansion hired the Mo family, it was all kinds of jewelry, jade, silk and satin pulled by dozens of cars, and the Xiaguang brocade worn by Mo Jinxi on the day of his wedding was from the dowry gift.

The dowry is so sloppy, and the dowry naturally does not have to be prepared too much. Besides, Gao Zhilan didn't want her dowry to be cheaper than Xiao Hong's guy. is the same as the Xiao family's dowry, although the Gao family's dowry is one hundred and twenty-eight lifts, it is also full of worthless things, and there are few real estate shops. However, Mrs. Gao felt sorry for Gao Zhilan after all, and was afraid that she would not have a good time in the Xiao family, so she secretly stuffed her a lot of silver tickets as private money.

Even if the wedding date was set for the tenth day of the first month of March, the Gao family was still worried, for fear that the emperor would not wait for that day to die, and all their concessions would come to naught.

finally survived until the tenth day of the third lunar month, and there was no bad news, Gao Zhilan, like other brides, was dragged up to worship God and freshen up before dawn.

Several girls and daughters-in-law of the same clan came to give the wedding, but none of them had joy on their faces. They don't come to marry willingly, just as the bride doesn't marry willingly.

Miss Zhilan, who used to be high-minded, has now become the biggest joke of the Gao family, and it is simply a shame to marry her, but the elders of the family let her, so she can only sit in the boudoir with her face pulled, but no one speaks.

Finally hit the auspicious time, the sedan chair came to the door, the door of the high house set off firecrackers to welcome the sedan chair, someone lit the red candle, held the mirror to the sedan chair to shine, completed the search of the sedan chair.

Mrs. Gao personally fed her daughter a sedan chair, and both mother and daughter were in tears. Although crying marriage is one of the customs when getting married, at this time, the mother and daughter cried out of their true feelings. Those tears were not just for the occasion, and they were not tears of joy, but they were really sad.

Gao Zhilan's brother carried her on the sedan chair, and the groom official Xiao Hong began to return to Xiao's mansion with a welcoming procession. There were a lot of people watching the excitement along the way, and the discussion was constant, of course, Xiao Hong, who was sitting on a tall horse, heard it clearly, but he couldn't attack at this time, so he could only bluff and pretend not to hear.

Although Gao Zhilan, who was covered with a big red hijab in the sedan chair, couldn't hear what the people outside were saying, it was not difficult to guess that there must be nothing good to say, and the tips of the fingers holding the apple were slightly white because of the force, and she pinched out a crescent-shaped fingerprint on the apple.

The welcoming team finally returned to Xiao's Mansion, and Gao Zhilan was like a puppet pulling a string, letting others pull and do every move.
