Chapter 15: The Qu Family's New House

Because it was determined that Qu Gao was going to the Taishou Mansion, the bride price and so on did not have to worry about the Qu family, and the Taishou also knew the situation of the Qu family, and also made it clear to Qu Yanping that the Qu family did not need to prepare anything, and on the day of marriage, Qu Gao could wait at home in his wedding clothes, and the welcoming team of the Taishou Mansion would go to the Qu family on time to pick up the relatives.

Qu Yanping and Gao were worried that this move would hurt Qu Gao's self-esteem, but seeing that Qu Gao had been happy and free for days, he was not half annoyed, so he slowly let go of his hanging heart. However, Qu Gao is not very peaceful, just the day before yesterday, Qu Gao suddenly asked his parents how much money there was in the family, and the Qu family had accumulated more than a thousand taels of silver for several generations, and Qu Gao begged for a thousand taels, although the couple had doubts, but they remembered that Qu Gao would face rich and noble families in the future, and the expenses would be larger, so they didn't say anything.

Since he took the silver taels, Qu Gao has been going out early and returning late these days, and his actions are extremely mysterious. On this day, Gao was cooking at home, Qu Gao suddenly pushed the door back, and as soon as he entered the door, he said happily: "Mother, come quickly, I'll take you to a place." ”

Gao Shi wondered: "Where to go, the rice is still in the pot?" He said this, but the steps under his feet followed closely with Qu Gao.

As soon as he went out, it was a carriage, Qu Gao helped his puzzled mother into the carriage, and called Su Jing to sit on the driving board together, and in Gao's constant questioning, Qu Gao drove the carriage to the door of a house in Nancheng.

Helping his mother out of the car, Gao looked up and saw a plaque with the word "Qufu" newly made in gold paint hanging on the door of the house, and couldn't help but ask: "Is this......?" This is? ”

Qu Gao pushed open the door, what came into his eyes was a delicate house with rockery and clear springs, flowers and trees were fragrant, the courtyard was divided into inside and outside, the hall was front and back, the flowers and trees were placed, the mountain spring was loud, and there were butterflies and birds chirping from time to time, Gao Shi looked at it from a distance, and his face showed envy. Seeing this, Qu Gao hugged Gao and said softly: "Mother, my son has bought this place as our new home, are you still satisfied?" ”

Gao was surprised and delighted, and had doubts, although all the belongings were given to Qu Gao, but this yard was by no means a thousand taels, she knew this, just wanted to ask, and thought again: My son is already so old, why bother to ask about everything? I never thought that my son was so sensible, and his conduct and appearance were not inferior to those noble children, so when he thought about it, he was even more proud in his heart, and his face was like a spring breeze, and he stepped into the threshold of the house with slightly trembling legs.

As soon as she entered the door, a thin girl in cloth walked in front of her, and when she walked in front of her, Ying Ying bent down and saluted: "Slave Xiaolian, I have seen Mrs., I have seen the young master, and I have seen Brother Ajing." "The girl was originally the maid of a family in Luoyang City in the north, fled to Xiangyang, and was found by Chang Fuhai.

Seeing that Xiaolian was thin and had a slightly yellow complexion, Gao Shi knew how to be polite and pleasing, stretched out his hand to stroke Xiaolian's somewhat dry hair, and said distressedly: "Which child is this?" But I have suffered a lot! Hearing this, the tip of Xiaolian's nose trembled slightly.

"Come into the house and have a look, ma'am." Su actually tugged at Gao's other arm and cheered. He was adopted by the Qu family since he was a child, and although he was called a servant, the Gao family treated him like a parent, and never beat and scolded him, so he indulged a little on weekdays. Xiaolian saw this scene in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose upward.

That night, the Qu family moved into the new house, Qu Gao also asked his parents for the old house, and handed over the key to Zhu Yan.

There are a lot of things to be added to the new house, Zhu Yan will send some furniture and objects every day or two, nourishing supplements, and often talk with Gao about shopping, Zhu Yan's heart has seven holes, since he can coax Gao to be happy, and in a few days let Gao accept him as a righteous daughter, every time he goes in and out, he talks very happily, like a mother and daughter.

Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, Zhu Yan was also busy with General Zu Ti's business and had little contacts, Qu Gao had nothing to do at home these days, so he practiced martial arts diligently, and after settling down in the new house, Zhong Lijun also took over, Zhong Lichi entrusted him to Qu Gao before his death, although Qu Gao was only two years older than Zhong Lijun, but he was quite concerned about Zhong Lijun's affairs, and Zhong Lijun regarded Qu Gao as his father and brother.

Zhong Lijun is well-behaved and sensible, and has the heart to join the army, Qu Yanping is very satisfied, and said that when he is busy with Qu Gao's marriage, he will transfer Zhong Lijun to the army defending the city.

On this day, Gao and Zhu Yan went out shopping again, Qu Gao and Zhong Lijun were practicing in the courtyard, and Xiaolian suddenly broke in and said: "Childe, the housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion is here." The two of them hurriedly collected their weapons, changed their clothes, and when they arrived at the main hall, the butler had been waiting for a long time.

The housekeeper is a middle-aged man who is over forty a year, and when he saw Qu Gao, his oily face was filled with a smile: "The villain Du Qing, the housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion, has seen the son." Childe is so handsome! No wonder I often hear the ladies in the house talk about it, such a good boy, Miss Shiqi is blessed! ”

Zhang Shiqi? This was the first time Qu Gao had heard the name of his future wife. He bowed back to the housekeeper and asked, "Steward Du must have something important to do, please take a seat!" He called Xiaolian to pour tea again.

Du Qing saw that Qu Gaoli was thoughtful, his face was even more happy, he clapped his hands, and the group in front of the door carried into four pairs of red lacquer boxes, served eight pearl and jade porcelain plates, and brought ninety-nine fine silk satin, all kinds of utensils and objects were tied with red silk, and half of the yard was piled up, and the gifts were finished, Du Qing smiled and said: "Childe, these are the dowry carefully selected by Mrs. Taishou, please accept it, it will be the wedding date in a few days, and then the old slave will come to welcome the son into the house." ”

Qu Gao bowed and said, "There is a labor housekeeper!" He personally sent him out of the house, Du Qing nodded again and again, praising Qu Gao.
