"No, I don't." Mo Li shook his head, "There have also been bride prices, which are similar to dowry, but the procedure is not that complicated." ”

Speaking of the dowry, Mo Li remembered the lively scene in the afternoon, and couldn't help asking: "Why did your family prepare so many dowry gifts in such a short time?" My sister-in-law said that I might not be able to find a second copy in the capital. ”

Murong Chu smiled slightly: "Part of it was my mother's dowry back then, and the other part was prepared before I went to Xiliang." ”

"It turns out that you have planned it a long time ago, but I am not prepared at all." Mo Li snorted.

"Li'er is ready to be a bride, and I will arrange other things." Murong Chu grabbed her little hand across the table and said, "Now I regret more and more that I didn't set the wedding date for this month. ”

Mo Li sniffed a hint of danger, and hurriedly said, "It's not early, go back quickly, I'm sleepy." ”

Murong Chu got up, but didn't go to the door, but directly hugged Mo Li: "I'll sleep with you." ”

"Don't ......," Mo Li struggled, "I haven't washed yet." ”

"I don't dislike you." Murong Chu directly carried the person into the bedroom and placed it on the kang.

Mo Li hurriedly shrank into the kang, Murong Chu leaned over and imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and said with a smile: "Look at what scares you, even if you keep me now, I won't sleep with you." ”

"Why?" Mo Li felt that her self-esteem had been greatly bruised, was she so unattractive?

Murong Chu put it in her ear and whispered, "Because I'm afraid I won't be able to control it." Rest early, I'm leaving. ”

By the time Mo Li reacted to the meaning of this sentence, the person had already left the door.

……

Early the next morning, Princess Bac Ninh was having breakfast, and Gao Zhilan rushed into the dining room like a gust of wind without being informed: "Auntie, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?" ”

Of course, the Lu family knew what she was talking about, and Murong Chu's dozens of dowry gifts to marry Miss Mo had become a hot topic in the capital since last night.

She had long expected that Gao Zhilan would come to question her, and instructed the people around her: "Add a pair of dishes and chopsticks to Miss Biao." ”

He pointed to the chair next to him and said to Gao Zhilan, "Let's have breakfast first." ”

Gao Zhilan still has the heart to eat now, and her voice has raised a little more: "Auntie, when is this, what kind of food do you use!" ”

"Lan'er, something has happened, it's useless for you to be in a hurry." Lu got up and pressed Gao Zhilan to the chair, "Aunt also found out yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't have told you." ”

Gao Zhilan sat on the chair, and two lines of hot tears flowed from her already red and swollen eyes.

She liked Murong Chu when she first met him since she was a child, and she didn't understand the relationship between men and women at that time, but she was willing to follow him, even if he always ignored her.

Later, when he was older, he was attracted by his noble and noble temperament, especially that year, when he came back to pay tribute to his mother, and a military uniform was imprinted in her heart.

Since then, she has been thinking about marrying him after her, but she waited year after year, and finally looked forward to him returning to the capital, but he had another woman in his heart.

Even so, she won't give up, originally her aunt Qing Guifei's side was already a little loose, and she was planning to go to the palace to talk to her aunt in the next two days, but she didn't want to get married without the slightest warning.

Lu Shi was crying by her, and he lost his appetite, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and sighed: "Let's go, go to the side hall to talk." ”

When she arrived at the side hall, Gao Zhilan sat there and just cried, but did not speak.

Lu raised his hand and waved his subordinates away, and said softly: "Lan'er, things are already like this, you should take care of it." ”

"I've been waiting for so many years, how can you let me take care of it?" Gao Zhilan raised her head and sobbed, "You forgot, without my mother, you can sit on this concubine?" Now you're so perfunctory to me. ”

Lu Shi frowned slightly, to be able to become the concubine of the king of Bac Ninh, behind this is indeed his second sister, Gao Zhilan's mother has helped a lot, otherwise, it is impossible for her, the side concubine, to be corrected no matter what.

Because of this, she will always help Gao Zhilan. Especially later, the second sister promised that if the marriage was completed, she would find a way to persuade Murong Chu to give up the throne of the king of Beining to Murong Qi, or ask for a title for Murong Qi in front of the emperor.

Although the Lu family didn't believe it, if Murong Chu could marry Gao Zhilan, even if the things of the year were exposed, for the sake of her being Gao Zhilan's aunt, he wouldn't do anything to her. So she has always tried hard to facilitate this marriage.

Now that Gao Zhilan is so accused, the Lu family also feels that he is very wronged, and hurriedly explained: "Lan'er, my aunt only found out about their marriage yesterday. ”

"Hmph, you live in the same house, how can you not know such a big thing as a marriage? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Gao Zhilan snorted coldly.

"Lan'er, Aunt really didn't lie to you, and there is no need to lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people in the house. Lu continued, "You know what your aunt has done to you over the years. My aunt has always treated you like her own daughter, and my aunt wants you to marry in more than anyone else. ”

"That's a nice thing to say." Gao Zhilan's eyes were scarlet, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a sneer, "My aunt and Concubine Qing are about to agree to help me ask the emperor for marriage, if you had told me earlier, everything would have been in time, but now?" ”

"Lan'er, if you say so, my aunt can't help it." Lu didn't bother to entangle with her anymore, so he simply leaned back in his chair and didn't explain.

For a long time, the two of them were silent, and only Gao Zhilan's crying was left in the room.

There was a soft knock on the door outside, and An Qin reported in a low voice: "Princess, Mrs. Gao is here." ”

Lu hurriedly got up and walked out of the house, only to see that Mrs. Gao had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and she hurriedly greeted her: "Second sister......"

"Lan'er is here to trouble you, right?" Mrs. Gao didn't wait for her to say the following words, and asked directly.

Lu sighed: "Second sister, I really didn't hear anything about this beforehand, and I didn't know about it until yesterday when I carried things out of the house." But no matter what I say, Lan'er doesn't believe it. ”

Mrs. Gao followed the Lu family into the side hall, sat directly at the top of the seat, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Lan'er, you are too ignorant, how can you come to your aunt early in the morning?" ”

"Mother......" Gao Zhilan raised her head, and tears couldn't stop falling.

Mrs. Gao shook her head and sighed: "You don't have to think about it, people are moving so fast, it's your aunt who is guarding against it, if she knows about it, can she not tell you?" ”

"My aunt is the head of this palace, will she not know about the dowry? What's more, it's still dozens of cars of dowry! Gao Zhilan said hatefully.

Mrs. Gao turned her questioning gaze to Lu, as if waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation.
