Chapter 156-Forty Thousand Two Dowry
"Four sister, you..."
Gu Yue stared at Gu Shan in disbelief.
Gu Shan always avoided her gaze without saying a word.
Gu Yue yelled "Ah", "I won't let you succeed, absolutely not."
After speaking, Gu Yue rushed out of Zhilan Academy.
Gu Zhen laughed happily, looking in a good mood.
Gu Shan's face was flushed red, embarrassed, "I'm worried about the third sister, I'll go see it."
"The fourth sister walks slowly, if the third sister bullies you, don't be polite."
Gu Zhen smiled.
Gu Shan nodded awkwardly, got up and left.
Gu Lin's eyes rolled round and round, and she later realized an amazing fact.
"My wife doesn't take the third sister seriously now? How is it possible."
Gu Zhen smiled openly, "How can't it be possible. My wife was almost mad at her, and she didn't know how much fire was held in her heart. That is to say, Gu Yue couldn't understand it. She really thought she was in the northwest. She even dared to come. Question the second sister, do you want a face?"
Gu Lin opened her mouth wide, so her chin almost fell to the ground.
Gu Jiu said, "Big sister really doesn't need to tear her face to face with the third sister."
"Thank you second sister for caring about me. But looking at her triumphant look, I couldn't help but want to stimulate her. Second sister, don't you want to see the third sister crying?"
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Zhen with a faint smile, and said: "The third sister is really going to cry and change her wrongs. By then, it will be his wife's turn to feel distressed again."
Gu Zhen was dumb.
She laughed and said: "The second sister can understand. I'm so stupid, why should I wake up the third sister. If the wife is too soft-hearted, won't she be proud again."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I don't need to worry about this big sister. I see the expression of the third sister, it doesn't look like she will cry. I think that nowadays, there is nothing more important than a dowry."
Gu Zhen suddenly realized, and then burst into laughter.
"Second Sister, I really have you, how I didn't expect it. Third Sister should go to his wife to talk about the dowry. With her temper, she is afraid that she will be pissed off."
Gu Zhen still didn't say a word, Xie was really going to be pissed to death, and Gu Jiu's contribution.
After all, Gu Jiu was accused of marrying the son Zhao and needed a large amount of dowry.
With Xie's stingy temperament, this dowry can make her feel distressed to death.
This will be in Furongyuan, and Xie's is discussing the dowry with Master Gu.
"Yue'er needs a dowry. The second girl was accused of marrying the prince, which is another dowry. If the big girl's marriage is settled, three dowries will be prepared this year. In this way, sir, this year we will fight a famine in the second room."
Xie's calling Qiong in front of Master Gu naturally had a purpose.
The words that the eldest wife Zhang said to her before, are still in my ears.
Gu Jiu married the emperor's grandson, so she wouldn't talk about tens of thousands of taels of dowry. How could she be willing.
At this time, you must call the poor, so that Master Gu knows, don't think that it is a good thing that Gu Jiu was accused of marrying the emperor's grandson, and the dowry alone could kill people.
Master Gu would be overwhelmed by his father's love, and when he thought that Gu Jiu was suffering for him, he realized that he owed Gu Jiu a lot more.
He said with a sullen face: "Leave aside, Xiao Jiu's dowry should not be thin. The emperor she married should not be underestimated. I plan to prepare Xiao Jiu's dowry of forty thousand taels."
"master?"
The flesh on Xie's face was shaking, and his fingers were shaking.
She really wanted to point to Master Gu's face and ask, what kind of grudges or grievances were there, and she had to empty her home.
"Prepare a dowry for the second girl for 40,000 taels, where there is so much money. Master, don't forget, the big girl, Yue'er also prepares a dowry. The boys are all at the age of marriage, so they have to prepare the dowry."
Master Gu said in a deep voice: "Yue'er will prepare a dowry of twenty thousand taels. For the big girl's dowry, if the sister-in-law can tell her about the marriage, she will prepare a dowry of eight thousand taels."
Xie felt dizzy and swollen with blood rushing to his forehead.
She didn't play the roundabout way at all, and said directly to Master Gu: "Master, there is no money in the account. I took out 70,000 taels at once, and my concubine is powerless."
Master Gu frowned.
Xie's mouth pursed and did not speak, too many but very clear. Prepare forty thousand taels of dowry for Gu Jiu, and dream.
Her daughter only had a dowry of 20,000 taels, which was exactly twice as small as Gu Jiu's dowry. Is she really the daughter born to her, not as good as the daughter born to her?
Master Gu pondered for a moment, and said, "The dowry left by the Su family at the front is divided into half, which is almost 20,000. Adding the five thousand taels from the public school, this is 25 thousand taels. In addition, I will take another 10,000 yuan. Two came out, leaving five thousand taels left on the account."
Just make up forty thousand taels of dowry.
Xie's eyes widened, his face turned pale, as if he had been greatly irritated.
"Master said that Sister Su left a dowry full of thousands?"
How could there be so many?
Xie couldn't believe it.
Master Gu nodded, "The official has been out for the past few years, but the Zhuangzi shop under the name of the Su family is in the capital, so that it is neglected. If you can return to the capital two years earlier, take good care of it, Xiao Jiu's 40,000 Two dowries, just relying on the share left by her deceased mother, are almost enough."
Xie's mouth gaped, his face was red and his ears were red.
She gritted her teeth, "Master, prepare a dowry of forty thousand taels for the second girl, isn't it a bit more? We don't have much money on the account of the second room."
Master Gu looked at Xie with dissatisfaction, "Could it be that you can't even get five thousand taels?"
"It's not that it can't be taken out, it's not that it's too expensive."
Master Gu coldly snorted, "Xiao Jiu... married to the palace, if the dowry is less than 40 thousand taels, how can you let her raise her head in front of others? I am afraid that she will be ridiculed on the first day after marrying. Thinking of Xiao Jiu being looked down upon in the palace, my heart..."
Master Gu covered his heart, and wanted to say emotionally that he felt uncomfortable. Suddenly he came back to his senses, in front of Xie's face, he still had to maintain his majesty, so the word "uncomfortable" was not spoken.
Xie's heard the unfinished words of Master Gu.
She frowned slightly, is the master confused?
When did Gu Jiu feel so distressed?
This is not right.
Xie gritted his teeth, "Master, there is a lot of dowry for 35 thousand taels. The dowry for the girls in the Hou Mansion is almost the same."
Master Gu coldly looked at Xie's, "Madam, did you not hear what you said for your husband? For your husband, he said very clearly that the dowry for Xiao Jiu must not be less than 40 thousand taels. There are thirty-five thousand inside. Two, have nothing to do with you. Why, you can't bear even the mere five thousand liang? Whoever really is a stepmother doesn't treat her stepdaughter as a human being?"
"Master is wronged!"
Xie felt so wronged, tears came down.
"When did the concubine not treat the second girl as a daughter? In these years, it was not the concubine who was taking care of her.
Sister Su gave birth to her as a thin and small child. If the concubine's body is really bad, just deliberately delay one or two when asking the doctor, can the second girl still have today?
The concubine digs out his heart and lungs, has children for the master, and has worked hard to nurture them into talents. As a result, the master said such a cruel remark. The concubine is no longer alive, no longer alive. "
Xie cried and cried and was extremely sad.
Master Gu also regretted it a little, and this seemed to be a bit too heavy.
Seeing how well performed during the first month of Xie’s family, yesterday’s banquet in the mansion, Xie’s family did not come to the house to be an eyesore, Master Gu comforted, “It’s because of her husband who misunderstood you. But Xiao Jiu’s dowry, forty thousand two penny. Less. Only five thousand taels on the account will not affect the dowry for Yue'er and the big girl."
Xie was still crying.
She hid her face with her sleeves, her heart was very angry.
What does it mean that you only need to pay five thousand taels on the account. Isn't the ten thousand taels that the master pays money?
For Gu Jiu's dowry, the master was willing to take out ten thousand taels of private money. You know, the money will be reserved for the brothers Gu Yu and Gu Yu in the future.
This is equivalent to taking her son's money to subsidize Gu Jiu.
How could Xie's bear it?
But looking at Master Gu's firm expression, Xie knew that her opposition was useless.
Master Gu has really made up his mind to buy a dowry of forty thousand taels for Gu Jiu.
Xie's heart was sour, tears fell pattering.
This day can't pass.
She lay sadly on the bed and wept, crying too hard.
Master Gu frowned, "Why are you crying again? For your husband, I have said that, I misunderstood you for those things before. Why do you bother about it."
Xie's Urn said angrily: "The concubine body is sad, just want to cry. Master, you don't care about the concubine body, you go."
Master Gu frowned, "Don't make trouble! Let's finish the business first."
Xie's biting his lip, said: "If the master decides on business matters, the concubine has no objection. Only Yue'er's dowry is twice as small as that of the second girl. What would they think if it were passed to the Hexibo Mansion? Wouldn't you think that Yue'er is inferior to the second girl, think that our parents' partiality, and then treat Yue'er harshly?"
"You think too much."
Master Gu rubbed his eyebrows, "Gu Jiu is going to marry the grandson of the emperor, and he has more dowries than Yue'er. This is a matter of course. Even if the Hexibo Palace knows it, he can understand it. Could it be that their Hexibo Palace still wants to compete with the Royal Palace. Comparing?"
Xie was choked, but she didn't give up, she still cried and said, "The concubine is just feeling wronged for Yue'er."
Master Gu finally understood what the Xie family meant.
"Okay, Yue'er's dowry, I will do five thousand liang, it is my father's little love to her. In addition, Zhen girl's dowry, I also Tao Sanqianliang. So, are you satisfied?"
Xie gritted his teeth and gradually stopped crying.
She sat up, her eyes were a little red and swollen, "The concubine accepts the master's heart for Yue'er and Jane. The two children will be very happy if they know."
Master Gu hummed, "The children's dowry, you have to hurry up. Forget it, I'll make a list based on Su's dowry back then, and I will talk about how to buy it when the time comes."
Master Gu temporarily changed his mind.
Originally, he wanted Xie to come forward to do the dowry for Gu Jiu. This is also the rule.
However, Master Gu changed his mind, if Xie's dowry for Gu Jiu is 40 thousand taels, I am afraid that he can only purchase 30 thousand taels at most.
Twelve thousand of them, needless to say, would definitely fall into Xie's pocket.
There is no need to say clearly about this, Master Gu simply intends to send someone to prepare the dowry. Anyway, Zhuangzi, shops, and some things are readily available.
For the rest, it's okay to let the sister-in-law Zhang stare more.
Xie opened his mouth and guessed what Master Gu was thinking.
But she didn't say anything.
Because she didn't want to buy a dowry for Gu Jiu, even if it was good, she didn't want to.
She was afraid that she would be pissed to death.
Especially Gu Jiu's dowry is in sharp contrast with Gu Yue's.
As for money, Xie's is really not short of money.
After following Master Gu for so many years, with the help of Master Xie Er, Xie's family has saved a lot of money.
When the first lunar month is busy, Xie also plans to set up a Zhuangzi shop in Beijing to get more income. By the way, all those who are idle will be resettled out.
Master Gu also wanted to say something about Xie's, but seeing Xie's appearance, he gave up his thoughts.
Master Gu said: "The officer has things to do, so let's go first."
"master!"
Xie cried Master Gu, his eyes filled with autumn water, making Master Gu couldn't help but think of the absurd years of his youth.
He sternly asked, "What's the matter?"
The more miss the absurd years of youth, the more serious face is.
Master Gu has such a temperament.
Xie said, "I will be a guest in the Hou Mansion tomorrow. My concubine wants to ask the master, what kind of gift should I prepare?"
Master Gu said, "I will explain this to Gu Quan, so you don't have to worry about it."
After speaking, Master Gu left Furongyuan.
When Gu Yue heard the movement, she hurriedly hid in the wing, not daring to show her head.
She had come to Furong Academy a long time ago and stopped the maid, not letting her report.
She stood under the window and listened secretly for a long time.
Hearing that Gu Jiu had prepared a dowry of 40,000 taels, but she only had a dowry of 20,000 taels, and she was so angry that her silver teeth were crushed.
After Master Gu left, Gu Yue came out of the wing.
Chunhe stood under the eaves, looked at Gu Yue, and deliberately increased the volume and said: "The three girls are here, the slave and maidservant went in to announce."
"Is Yue'er here? Tell her to come in."
Xie's voice came from the room.
Chunhe looked at Gu Yue with a smile, "Three girls, please come in. The wife is inside."
Gu Yue walked into the main house with a blank face, "Daughter greets mother."
"Sit down and talk."
Xie looked lazy, unable to lift the spirit.
Xie's sitting on the chair, with mixed flavors in his heart, a garlic in his nose, grievances on his head, tears fell directly.
Xie stared at Gu Yue, "What are you crying for?"
"My daughter didn't cry anything, she was sad in her heart."
Xie asked blankly: "You have heard it all."
Gu Yue panicked and her eyes flickered, for fear that Xie would scold her.
As a result, Xie's only swindled her.
"Looking at your reaction, you should have heard the conversation between me and your father. Chunhe is also getting more and more uncomfortable, even letting you eavesdrop."
"It's my fault that I don't care about Sister Chunhe's affairs, I want to eavesdrop."
Xie said, "It's really rare, you will also think for others."
Gu Yue flushed instantly.
