"There's nothing to worry about." Gu Xinian's tone was as indifferent as ever: "Even if he becomes the emperor in the future, don't even think about forcing me to marry my daughter."
Ye Qinglan's somewhat flustered heart immediately calmed down, she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "That's what you said. When this day comes, you have to protect An An."
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and responded proudly: "With me here, no one can force our daughter."
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and then asked curiously: "When I went to the banquet today, I heard many female relatives quietly discussing the child's life experience. It has been a month. Why have the rumors not only not stopped, but intensified?"
Presence? Didn’t the prince suppress these rumors secretly? "
Gu Xinian said with a meaningful smile: "You can't control other people's mouths even if they want to. If there are people who are afraid of causing chaos in the world and fanning the flames, these rumors will not be easily put to rest."
Ye Qinglan knew Gu Xinian very well. When she saw his leisurely and contented look, she immediately noticed something was wrong. After savoring these two sentences carefully, she soon realized what he meant: "You mean,
The third prince fanned the flames behind his back and wanted to embarrass the prince with an offensive of rumors. Then, the prince followed suit and wanted to use this matter to deal with the third prince?"
Gu Xinian smiled approvingly: "That's almost it. But not now, it will take at least two or three months to take effect." Of course, if you want this plan to achieve the best effect, you have to do something behind the scenes.
There are a lot of things going on. However, there is no need to worry Ye Qinglan by saying them all.
Ye Qinglan didn't ask any more questions. She was not interested in these conspiracies. Besides, with Gu Xinian making suggestions, the third prince would most likely not be able to please him. She had nothing to worry about.
Ye Qinglan quickly put the matter aside and changed the subject: "It's half a month until sister Xiyu's wedding day. We should also add makeup to her!" [
"Mom has prepared so much dowry for Yu'er, what else can we add to it?" Gu Xinian deliberately joked: "It's better to save a little and save it for our An An's dowry in the future."
Ye Qinglan was amused and started playing tricks with him: "Okay, okay, this is what you said. Then I won't prepare anything. I will leave it all to your precious daughter." The pair of children were neat and cute, and everyone
Everyone loves her like a treasure. In comparison, An An receives more attention than her brother. Gu Xinian is obviously partial to his daughter.
The couple chatted and joked for a while, then seriously discussed the matter of adding makeup to Gu Xiyu.
The dowry list that Mrs. Zheng prepared for Gu Xiyu is indeed very generous. Not to mention other things, there are two farmhouses and four shops. The annual income is enough to cover Gu Xiyu's expenses at her husband's house. As for the silk and satin
There are precious medicinal ingredients, precious porcelain, etc., not to mention how many there are. The cash at the bottom of the box is also a staggering amount.
Ye Qinglan went through confinement after she was pregnant, so she couldn't help with the care. However, Mrs. Zheng didn't shy away from it either. So she knew the dowry list by heart. Mrs. Fan was upset several times, openly and secretly, but Ye Qinglan didn't react at all.
I was so angry that I stopped talking.
"Mom has prepared quite a lot of things. In my opinion, it's better to prepare more cash for Yu'er!" Gu Xinian said after pondering for a moment.
Ye Qinglan also felt that silver was the most affordable, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then prepare the banknotes. What is the specific amount? How much do you think is appropriate?"
Gu Xinian was such a precious sister, so of course she would not be reluctant to part with her, and immediately said: "If you round up the whole number, I'll give you ten thousand taels."
This money, of course, does not come from the public account, but from the private savings of the couple.
The dowry that Ye Qinglan brought when she got married was not included in the calculation. Gu Xinian had been secretly making preparations for so many years. Even Mrs. Zheng didn't know about some of the properties in his hands. After becoming the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he only served as an official during the New Year and holidays.
His "filial piety" is a shocking amount. Those salaries are nothing. Now all these account books have been handed over to Ye Qinglan to take care of. She is also very clear about the amount of property they share. Hearing this, she smiled and said: "
Ten thousand taels is indeed not too little. These are what you gave me. As a sister-in-law, I have to show some appreciation and add another five thousand taels."
Ye Qinglan was so generous, and Gu Xinian felt naturally happy. He lowered his head and kissed her: "I am really lucky to have such a good wife."
Nasty! Ye Qinglan spat at him with a smile.
Gu Xinian immediately came over shamelessly: "It's so late, we should rest..." The last words soon became blurred and disappeared in the entanglement of each other's lips and tongues.
…
Two days later, Ye Qinglan arrived at Lengyue Pavilion holding an exquisite box.[
Gu Xiyu was in a daze while chatting away. When she saw Ye Qinglan coming, she immediately greeted her happily: "Sister-in-law, you finally have time to accompany me. I've been bored to death these days."
As the wedding day approached, Mrs. Zheng ordered Gu Xiyu to stay in the Lengyue Pavilion and was not allowed to walk around at will. Although Gu Xiyu liked silence and did not like to move, she could not stay in the Lengyue Pavilion for several days.
I was so bored. Now that I saw Ye Qinglan coming, I suddenly became happy.
She is already an eighteen-year-old girl, but Gu Xiyu acts coquettishly and is as innocent as a child who has just solved the problem.
Ye Qinglan really felt sorry for this little girl, and touched her soft hair with a smile: "In a few days, you will get married. You have to cherish these days."
Gu Xiyu nodded obediently, then craned her neck to look at the box in Ye Qinglan's hand with interest: "Sister-in-law, what did you bring for me?"
Ye Qinglan laughed dumbly and opened the box, revealing a thick stack of silver notes: "These are the bank notes issued by the largest bank in the capital. Each one is in denomination of one hundred taels, and there are one hundred and fifty in total. It is a
Fifteen thousand taels of silver. Ten thousand taels of it were given to you by your elder brother, and the remaining five thousand taels are my own private house. It is considered as a gift for you."
Gu Xiyu has no idea about how much money there is. In her eyes, this thick pile of silver notes is not much different from a pile of paper... However, since it is a gift from her eldest brother and sister-in-law, of course it is all good.
.So, Gu Xiyu happily took the box, and then went to play with counting the banknotes.
…
Ye Qinglan smiled and simply sat next to Gu Xiyu and played with her. Since she was pregnant, most of her focus was on raising the baby. After giving birth, she was around the baby every day. She really ignored Gu Xiyu.
.No wonder Gu Xiyu always complained that she was bored.
As Gu Xiyu grew older, her appearance became more beautiful and delicate. Her dark eyes were like a pair of black gems inlaid on her white and jade face. Her eyes flickered and she smiled, which was simply breathtaking.
Gu Xiyu counted the banknotes for a long time, and then said happily: "Sister-in-law, there are a total of one hundred and fifty, and each one is not a lot."
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter, and then coaxed gently: "Please collect these banknotes soon. When you marry into your husband's family in the future, it will always be good to have more private property in your hands. You can buy whatever you like."
, no one can care about you."
Gu Xiyu hummed as if she understood, and casually put a pile of banknotes into the box. Then she handed it to Mo Xiang: "You can keep it for me."
Mo Xiang held a box of banknotes, feeling annoyed and amused at the same time. Anyone looking at such a large sum of money would be a little excited. But Gu Xiyu, on the other hand, treated it like a pile of waste paper...
Ye Qinglan suddenly remembered that she had brought something else, and hurriedly took a sachet from her body: "By the way, I also made a sachet for you with my own hands, and it contained your favorite plum blossom petals." In fact, the main thing is.
It was because the female celebrity was mediocre in craftsmanship and was really embarrassed to show her shame, so she only made the simplest sachet to express her feelings.
Gu Xiyu's eyes lit up and she happily took the sachet. She liked it so much that she immediately hung it on her waist. She turned around happily and said, "Sister-in-law, does this sachet look good if I wear it?"
"You look good!" Ye Qinglan praised sincerely: "You are so beautiful. I can't find another girl in the whole capital who can stand side by side with you without falling behind."
In terms of beauty, only Shen Qiuyu and Gu Xiyu are between them. Even Ye Qingning is slightly inferior.
Gu Xiyu was elated by the praise and smiled sweetly: "You are wrong to say that. An An will definitely be prettier than me in the future."
Speaking of her baby daughter, the smile on Ye Qinglan's face became even gentler: "I just hope that An An can grow up healthy. As for her appearance, I don't mind."
With Gu Xinian and her excellent genes, the child's appearance will definitely be good. It doesn't matter if the boy is more handsome, but if the girl is too beautiful, it may not be a good thing. Ye Qinglan sincerely hopes that An An will grow up.
Just be pretty and cute!
Of course, Gu Xiyu could not guess Ye Qinglan's complicated and subtle thoughts, so she nodded in agreement with a smile.
The days flew by, and soon the day before Gu Xiyu's wedding came.
On the eve of a woman's wedding, there was a warm-house dinner as usual. Several tables of family banquets were set up in the Dingguo Duke's mansion. In addition to everyone in the mansion, some relatives, friends and female dependents of the same clan were also invited. It was very lively with people coming and going. However, all this excitement was incompatible with
Gu Xiyuguan. She stayed alone in the room chatting away, resting her chin in her hands in a daze.
The two maids, Mo Xiang Jade and Mo Xiang Jade, were much more nervous than her, the soon-to-be-married master, and they gathered together and whispered.
After a while, Mrs. Zheng came in. She winked at the two maids, and the two of them immediately stepped back knowingly.
"Mom, you are finally here." Gu Xiyu complained aggrievedly: "I have been in the house all day today, and there is no one to talk to."
Mrs. Zheng smiled and reassured: "Am I not here to accompany you?" But she was secretly hesitating in her heart, how should she open her mouth to talk to Gu Xiyu? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come (
