Chapter 291 The Daughter of the Criminal Minister 38
Xining returned to the Gu Mansion. Although the old lady and the eldest lady were full of things to say, Zhang Zhong's elongated face made them swallow all their words. They were originally full of evil aura, plus the red
Flying fish suit, black embroidered spring knife.
Zhang Zhong was just dissatisfied with the marriage, and he didn't mean to be fierce.
The old lady and the eldest lady grabbed Xining's hands from left to right and looked up and down, as if they were trying to spot the missing hairs. Thanks to Xu Mian for taking such good care of Gu Wanxin.
Xining...
"Miss, miss!" Furong ran over, sobbing, but not daring to make too many mistakes.
Oh, that's the girl who ate six meat buns. Although it was impossible, Zhang Zhong still looked at it. She wasn't fat, so why did she eat so much?
Fu Rong felt frizzy, and when she turned her head, she saw Zhang Zhong looking at her with a gloomy look, and she trembled with fright.
No one was invited to stay for dinner, so Zhang Zhong left naturally.
As soon as the front foot left, the old lady and the eldest lady couldn't bear it anymore, called the people to retreat, and began to ask about Xining's situation.
Xining said calmly: "The imperial edict granting marriage should arrive tonight. Please prepare your grandmother and mother to receive the edict. My daughter is very tired and will leave first." After saying this, he bowed and left.
Imperial decree, granting marriage? The old lady and the eldest lady were stunned, looked at each other blankly, and then laughed.
It’s great, it’s not bad to have Xu Mian as your son-in-law!
Back in the room, Furong helped her take a bath and change clothes, asking questions.
Xining got tired of asking and frowned: "Fu Rong, let's talk about it. I'll marry you to Jin Yiwei."
Fleur was so frightened that she immediately said, "No, Miss. I won't say anything anymore!"
Imperial edicts are usually issued at night. Unless it is very important, try to wait until the whole family is gathered before announcing it. It is just like confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. Try to gather as many people as possible.
Xining lay on the imperial concubine's bamboo couch and slept lightly, thinking in her heart, should the task be completed?
Although she had been with Xu Mian for a while, she still couldn't understand Xu Mian's thoughts. With Xu Mian's profession and status, she should be arrested and tortured to force her to confess what she wanted to know.
I feel like everything is fine except that I look a little colder. And my smile is pretty good-looking too.
Xining felt for a moment, is this husband still satisfied... Her heart was racing, Hehe, it seemed that she was quite satisfied. That's good! Otherwise, she would have to find another way to escape from the marriage, and then fake her death or disappear.
It's very troublesome. If he disappears, he has no choice but to go to Nanyang or escape to the Xiongnu and Lingnan areas.
Gu Tingrui, who was lying on the bed recovering from his injuries, also got up and tidied up so that he could receive the imperial edict later.
Everyone was sitting in the lobby living room. Gu Tingrui was carried out on a stretcher and lay on a bamboo couch to wait.
Xining naturally went up to offer condolences, just as he thought, Gu Tingrui only had a flesh wound, and he was extremely proud of being able to take the dragon stick.
"The emperor was thinking of Old Mrs. Gu, so he forcibly stopped him. In the entire court, there were only three people who could bear the imperial staff." Gu Tingrui lay on his stomach, not daring to move his body, and even bowed: "Your Majesty, your Majesty!"
Xi Ning... was hopeless, and his train of thought had changed beyond comprehension.
But think about it, if someone troubles Gu Tingrui again in the future, all Gu Tingrui needs to say is, "I am not afraid of life and death, and if you are so loyal, feel free to go to the emperor to argue with me."
Go and remonstrate to death.
Xi Ning sat there without speaking, just listening. They were all talking about Xu Mian and the prince's affairs. Half an hour later, the father-in-law in charge of the palace finally came to announce the decree.
The yard was full of people knelt down again, and what surprised the Gu family was that not only was the marriage granted, but all the things that had been confiscated in the house were returned.
After receiving the order to thank her, the old lady's maid Musk held a folded banknote and stuffed it into her father-in-law's hand: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."
"No need, this is a matter within the slave family!" The father-in-law refused, without even closing his fingers. It was another five taels of silver to send to the beggar. Since he became the chief chamberlain in the palace, only the Gu family could do it.
"Better than nothing, buy a cup of tea." Musk insisted.
The meat on the mosquito's legs is also meat, and the Gu family and Jin Yiwei are in love, and the relationship is still deep. Xu Yanwang, who is highly regarded, wants to buy this face.
The father-in-law in charge had no choice but to go on and touch it with his hand. Well, it was still five taels of silver. Go on, maybe one day the money would be cleared for Xu Yan Wang.
After his father-in-law left, Gu Tingrui was helped onto the stretcher again. He kept laughing all the way: "It seems that Xin'er has a future."
The old lady was supported by Musk and looked sideways: "We are getting married next month, what do you think of Xin'er's dowry?"
Gu Tingrui didn't have any idea and didn't think about it, so he said directly: "The dowry has been prepared a long time ago. I can use it when it is returned tomorrow."
The eldest lady sneered: "Among the things I came back this time, there are also items from the original two and three bedrooms. I heard that Xu Tongzhi's official residence has never been properly renovated, and many rooms are empty."
Gu Tingrui was stunned for a moment, but his mind was still able to turn around, and he immediately changed his words: "Originally, it was a reward from the emperor. The marriage of the children should be decided by the mother."
The old lady and the eldest lady looked at each other, and Xi Ning knew that Gu Yunxin was going to get married in style this time!
The next day, the things that were originally confiscated were brought back one by one. Although there was a list, there were still many things missing.
But on the third day, the missing items were shipped over, or they were replaced according to the same quality as the original items. They could only be good, not inferior.
If you think about it, you will know that it is Xu Mian's handiwork. In this case, these things will be sent to Xu's house as dowry when she gets married.
The emperor seems to be more anxious than Xu Mian. The wedding is scheduled for the beginning of autumn next month. We can only speed up!
When the eldest lady invited six embroiderers, they worked hard to make various kinds of needlework. Some things needed to be embroidered by married women, so they could only have the embroiderers and maids embroider them, and then let Gu Yuanxin touch up a few stitches.
It's a good thing that this is the case, otherwise, even if Xining could use the body master skill, this stitch would still annoy her to death.
Xu Mian came to propose the marriage in person. Although the emperor granted the marriage, Xu Mian still followed the ritual of three matchmakers and six betrothals, bringing his matchmaker, royal guards and betrothal gifts to propose marriage.
Seeing Xu Mian coming over with live geese in his arms, according to the rules, grains, rice, wine, cakes, cloth, etc., in pairs, the Gu family became more and more pleased with this son-in-law. It seemed that Xu Mian's cold face was also more pleasing to the eye.
The boy from the aristocratic family is handsome.
Mrs. Gu really liked it more and more as she watched it, so she decided to stay with Xu Mian for a meal. At this time, the two of them finally met.
The two looked at each other and said nothing. But at night, Zhang Zhong climbed over the wall and came in, bringing a letter from Xu Mian.
Xining opened it and looked at it. There was no signature on the letter, and it was written in extremely beautiful regular script: "A shallow lover doesn't know."
What do you mean? Xining was stunned.
Mo Ming: "I miss you for a long time, I miss you for a long time. If you ask me how long I'll miss you, it won't last until we meet again."
Longing for lovesickness, longing for longing for lovesickness. Who do you want to say lovesickness resembles? Lovers don’t know.”
