Chapter 17: The Dowry

Gu Ruan Ruan's heart moved, "How can you say this, Mama?" ”

The grandmother glanced around and said in a low voice, "Second Miss, can it be convenient for the old slave to go in?" ”

It's just an old woman, or a woman, Gu Ruan Ruan naturally agreed, she was forced to be in a hurry, and she was willing to try any way.

After bringing people into the room, the old lady spoke: "Prime Minister Gu and the second prince also have some misunderstandings because of the eldest lady's affairs. After all, being ruined by the grandeur of the marriage contract is a personal temper, not to mention that the second prince has a noble status, and he is really angry, so he will say a few words above the court......"

The old lady said as she observed Gu Ruanruan's expression over and over again.

Seeing that her expression was not worried, she continued: "The second prince respects Prime Minister Gu as a pillar of the court, and has the intention of seeking peace, but Prime Minister Gu is unwilling, I wonder if the second lady is willing to be this peacemaker?" ”

Gu Ruan Ruan was not stupid, and he heard some doorways, but he didn't respond immediately.

The things in the court affected her whole body, and she only pretended that she didn't understand: "What does Mama mean by this?" Didn't you say you were going to talk about the dowry? ”

The grandmother didn't sell it anymore, and said: "The second prince and the second lady fell in love, thinking of accepting the second miss as a righteous sister, and when the time comes, she will buy a dowry for the second miss as a righteous brother." ”

Mama followed the temptation: "You think, when the time comes, the second prince and the heir will be willing to raise face for you, and Prime Minister Gu, as the elder in the family, will definitely be embarrassed to ignore it again, and will definitely add a copy, and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion will naturally not do the dowry for nothing." ”

"The second prince said, the dowry is thick for you, plus Prime Minister Gu's share, who is more beautiful and difficult to say!"

When Gu Ruan Ruan heard this, he was actually a little moved.

It's just that she knew Gu Cheng's stubbornness and didn't want to stand in line among the princes, so it was impossible for her to agree to her proposal to be a sister-in-law to the second prince, so she was a little hesitant.

Seeing this, the old lady added another fire: "Second Miss, are you afraid that your dowry will be more than that of your daughter-in-law at that time, and your sister will lose face?" You're so kind-hearted. ”

The old lady said the opposite.

Now that everyone in the mansion knows that the two are not in harmony, how could Gu Ruan Ruan still be willing to care about Gu Baiyu's feelings, and he would like to slap her in the face!

The old grandmother's words are tantamount to tempting her, there is such an opportunity to disgrace her sister, whether she is willing to be in her thoughts.

Gu Ruan Ruan inevitably remembered that both of them were daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now whether it was the person they married or their reputation, they were already very different, how could she be willing to give up this opportunity?

"But Mama, my father's side is the most stubborn, and I'm only afraid of ......"

"You are too worried, you are Prime Minister Gu's own daughter, he just doesn't want to bow to the second prince, probably because he can't pull the son down, who wants to be the enemy of the emperor's heir? The second lady can form a righteous brother and sister with the second prince in private, and then tell Prime Minister Gu, maybe Prime Minister Gu will think that you have relieved his embarrassment, there are steps, are you still unwilling to go down? ”

"This is a good thing for you and the Prime Minister!"

Having said this, Gu Ruan Ruan was already very moved.

She didn't have any orthodox concept in her heart, and in her opinion, several princes could inherit the throne in the future.

It's not right to stick to it like her father, how can she put all her eggs in one basket?

Thinking like this, Gu Ruan Ruan gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to let the second prince pass it on." It's just that I must hide it from my father's side first, find an opportunity to marry a righteous brother and sister, and then talk to him. ”

The old lady immediately became happy: "It's done!" The old slave Ming'er ordered someone to pass the word! ”

Seeing off the old grandmother, Gu Ruan Ruan completely relaxed.

She is willing to end up with the second prince as a brother and sister, and it is not all because of the dowry.

Some things that have happened recently have also made her understand a lot.

Gu Baiyu is a daughter-in-law, who is loved by her parents and supported by the Marquis of Zhenbei.

What about her? She has nothing!

What if she was genuine?

Don't take her seriously!

Since her parents don't want to love her, Xiangfu can't become her backer, so she has to find a way to rely on herself!

No matter how majestic the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is, can it still overshadow the royal family?

Thinking of this, a flash of ambition flashed in Gu Ruan Ruan's eyes.

She was raised by this prime minister's mansion in the past, and she should have realized it a long time ago.

She came from another world, just being an ordinary person, isn't she a tyrannical thing?

......

Not to mention what Gu Ruan Ruan thought, Gu Baiyu had a good night's sleep.

Not only that, but I also had a somewhat hazy and beautiful dream.

In the dream, only she and Xiao Yanlin came, and they had further contact.

It's still a kiss, but this time it's not the forehead, it's the lip flap......

When Gu Baiyu woke up, his whole body was about to burn.

After living two lives, she is a blank slate in these aspects, but she is not ashamed to have this kind of dream, it is really ......

"Miss? What's wrong with you? ”

Lingyu thought it was strange.

Her young lady is the most self-disciplined, waking up every morning, only a moment of soberness, will get up and wash, never do the things that lie in bed and can't get up.

Why do you cover your cheeks with a quilt today, and your cheeks still seem to be very red?

Lingyu was taken aback, "Miss! Why is your face so red, don't you have a cold and fever when you went out yesterday, right? ”

When Gu Baiyu heard this, he finally got up from the bed: "No, it's just a little hot." ”

Lingyu felt more and more strange.

Is it hot?

It's the morning of early spring, and it's cold in Kyoto, and people with bad bones have to wear a big coat in the morning to dare to go out!

Gu Baiyu didn't want to say more to Lingyu, so she got up and let Lingyu wait and wash her face.

When he sat down in front of the dresser, he found that his cheeks were still red, and in the face of Lingyu's puzzled gaze, he became angry with himself.

Gu Baiyu, Gu Baiyu, don't be angry!

It's just a wipe over his forehead, as for such a spring heart floating?

simply instructed Lingyu: "You go and bring the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and I will copy the heart-purifying mantra for my mother again." ”

Lingyu went out worriedly.

Miss is so abnormal, she is about to get married, what is the matter with copying these pure heart mantras all day long?

Lingyu had something in her heart, she walked quickly with her head down, and she didn't pay attention to the people around her, and when she turned the corner, she suddenly heard Gu Ruanruan's voice, and she couldn't help but stop.

She has learned the rules of the Prime Minister's House, and at this time, she can't eavesdrop on the master's speech, either leave immediately or say hello, but ......

The voice that spoke to Gu Ruan Ruan was clearly one of the teaching grandmothers!

Thinking that Gu Baiyu asked herself to pay attention to Gu Ruanruan's movements and not to make any more troubles before getting married, Lingyu shrank her body into the corner and listened seriously.

I only listened to Gu Ruan Ruan and said: "Please leave the dowry to Mama." ”

The grandmother's voice was very polite: "Where! Second Miss doesn't have to be so polite, you are the master. Rest assured, I'll be with ...... To put it bluntly, you just have to wait for the good news. ”

Lingyu felt more and more strange, those three grandmothers should be concubines, how could they be so polite to the second lady?

And who is that vague name?

Gu Ruan Ruan entered the Beihou Mansion as a concubine, and no dowry was a punishment for her Hu Lai, and the prime minister reached a consensus on this, who was helping her?

Lingyu had too many doubts in her heart, and she knew that this matter was not trivial, so she didn't care about getting any pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and hurriedly returned to the room.

"Miss! The slave has something to report! ”
