Chapter 275: Marriage and Momentum, Zhou Du adds makeup
"The mother will give birth to the child with peace of mind first, and if she gives birth to a younger brother, the father will change his mind." Liu Chaoyan said, and he didn't want to face the Li family like a resentful woman anymore, so he left Fenghetang by himself.
She is now only looking forward to the day when the dragon raises its head next year, to marry into the Qin Palace, and to leave this suffocating home.
Li didn't expect that his pampered daughter would one day dislike herself, she lost her temper uncontrollably, her abdomen was even more uncomfortable, and her head hurt badly.
She lay on the bed wailing like a dead fish, but no one paid any attention.
When Yi's mother heard Li's screams, she only felt that the wind was gusting in Tonghetang, not like in the world.
She didn't dare to get too close to the Li family, and waited far away. She looked at the big mansion that had fallen into the night, accompanied by Li's miserable wail, and her eyes were empty.
The misery of Fenghetang did not affect the rest of the Hou Mansion.
The next day, Zhou Du brought a lot of people, and carried dozens of dowries, these were not bride prices for the Hou Mansion, but for Gu Xiyan's marriage.
Coincidentally, the old lady was thinking about adding makeup to Liu Chaoyan and Gu Xiyan recently.
She privately felt that Gu Xiyan was married to the eldest prince, and the person she was optimistic about was also Gu Xiyan, if she added a dowry, she would naturally add more to Gu Xiyan.
But Liu Chaoyan is not easy to bluff there, how to make a bowl of water even, so that Liu Chaoyan can't see the clues, this is a difficult thing.
I didn't want to be at this juncture, Zhou Du actually sent such a spectacular makeup to Gu Xiyan.
She looked at the gift list, and there were four boxes of gold cakes, eight boxes of silver, six boxes of gold and silver jewelry, four boxes of head and face, two thousand silk and satin, dozens of pieces of jade, and several calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, and so on.
The old lady has also seen a big scene, but it is the first time she has seen so much makeup.
These are all the makeup that His Royal Highness added to Sister Xi alone, which shows the importance that His Highness attaches to Sister Xi.
The four sisters of the Liu family heard that Zhou Duan sent makeup to Gu Xiyan, and they all came with the mentality of watching a good show, they all thought that Zhou Duan was just good-looking, although he was also a third-grade official in the dynasty, but he had only been an official for a short time, and even if he had makeup, he couldn't do it.
Just when they saw a long list of gift lists, the four sisters were dumbfounded.
Liu Huiyan is the most gaffe one: "This gift list is not wrong, right?!" How could Lord Zhou add so much makeup to the big sister? ”
How much money does this cost, and what kind of rich and noble family is behind Zhou Dusk?
Of course, the old lady knew that Liu Huiyan was jealous of Gu Xiyan, and she said to Gu Xiyan: "Why don't you open it and show your four sisters these makeup?" ”
Gu Xiyan was actually very curious, she looked at Zhou Dui, and Zhou Dui pinched her soft little boneless hand: "Go and take a look." ”
Gu Xiyan stepped forward to open the first makeup, and as soon as the box was opened, the room was suddenly filled with gold, and the golden light and the snowflakes outside were intertwined, burning people's eyes.
Gu Xiyan looked at Zhou Du suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get so many golden cakes?" ”
As soon as she asked, she remembered his identity again, and suddenly knew that she had asked a very stupid question. His father is Emperor Chengde, as the king of the Great Jin Dynasty, how can he not take a few boxes of gold cakes?
"My father said that I can't wronged you, let me add more makeup to you, and let you get married in a beautiful way." Zhou Du looked at Gu Xiyan's side face and couldn't take his eyes off it.
Liu Chaoyan was pricking up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, and naturally heard Zhou Dui's words.
Who is Zhou Dui's father? How can you give up so much makeup? This is obviously to make Gu Xiyan build momentum on the day of her wedding.
If nothing else, the makeup given by Zhou Duan will soon spread throughout the capital, and Gu Xiyan will be in the limelight again.
How does this work?
She is the quasi-princess of Qin, the quasi-daughter-in-law of Emperor Chengde, if her dowry can't even compare to Gu Xiyan's, then wouldn't she have to become the laughing stock of the whole city?
It's just that Zhou Dui has added so much makeup to Gu Xiyan, how can she get so much dowry?
Can't she let her find Brother Ah Xing, and let Brother Ah Xing add so much makeup to her, right?
Thinking of Zhou Xing's temperament, Liu Chaoyan knew that he couldn't do this kind of thing.
Now she can only pin her hopes on the old lady, and let the Hou Mansion help her with it at that time.
Liu Huiyan looked at the four large boxes of gold cakes, and suddenly became jealous beyond recognition. Among the four sisters of the Liu family, the response was flat, but it was Liu Junyan.
Since the last time Zhou Dui revealed her true face, she felt that it was reasonable for Zhou Du to do anything. It's just that Zhou Dui is such a big deal, and she is still a little surprised.
Now she doesn't dare to underestimate Gu Xiyan at all.
According to the extent to which Zhou Duan doted on Gu Xiyan, Zhou Duan had such wealth, and he became a third-grade official at such a young age, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future.
Gu Xiyan can marry Zhou Du, I don't know what kind of creation there will be in the future.
Xiao Gu looked at it from the side, she was worried that her daughter would be sad, but this time her daughter's reaction was very normal, far less intense than Liu Chaoyan and Liu Huiyan's reaction, which made her happy.
Everyone present had different thoughts, but Gu Xiyan had concerns herself, she pulled Zhou Du to the side and asked, "Wouldn't it be too high-profile for Gongzi to add so much dowry to me?" Childe's identity hasn't been announced yet, so I'm afraid it will affect Childe's reputation. ”
"Don't worry about it, I just want you to marry me in style, and I want to see you raise your eyebrows."
Zhou Duan's words made Gu Xiyan laugh: "How did I not know that Gongzi was a willful person before? ”
"I just don't want to wronged you. I didn't have time to participate in your previous life, I can only think of helping you grow your face in this way. Zhou Du said.
Gu Xiyan's nose was a little sore, and she nodded vigorously, "I know that Gongzi treats me well." ”
Zhou Du turned his eyes to look at Liu Chaoyan, his eyebrows were cold: "I want to see if Liu Er also went to Zhou Xing to add makeup." ”
Gu Xiyan laughed when he heard this: "King Qin is not a son, he cares most about His Majesty's opinion, how can he put so much makeup on his second sister's long face?" ”
That's why Zhou Du will help her grow her face in such a thing.
The matter of Zhou Du's makeup for Gu Xiyan quickly spread in the Hou Mansion, and this matter soon spread out of the Hou Mansion and spread in the capital.
At first, everyone thought it was unbelievable.
Although it is not uncommon for a man to add makeup to a woman, it is not so exaggerated, right?
Four boxes of gold cakes must have hundreds of catties, and eight boxes of silver, not to mention other makeup, just these two are already worth a lot, and it seems that only the royal family can get such a dowry.
How can a three-grade right waiter in the household department get so much makeup? Even His Royal Highness the King of Qin today did not add makeup to Miss Liu'er.
For a while, everyone was rumored that this Lord Zhou should be from a rich and noble family, but no one knew what kind of family background Zhou Du was.
