Chapter nine hundred and forty seventh heart is big
"Has the girl fallen asleep?" Yan's mother's voice sounded outside the house. Lian Xin glanced at her girl, approved, and then went out to reply.
As soon as I left the house, I saw Yan's mother carrying a wooden box behind her and waiting outside.
"Slave Lianxin has met Mother Yan!"
"Miss Lianxin, you don't have to be polite!" Yan's mother smiled happily.
"These are Jiangnan specialties that Mr. Gu sent to our house. This box belongs to the girl. Mr. Gu's entourage said they are some gadgets for the girl to relieve her boredom. I'll ask someone to carry them in for the girl!"
She called her mother-in-law and carried the box into the house. After the people left, Lian Xin clicked her tongue.
"Girl, there are quite a lot of things sent by Master Gu." Lian Xin walked around the box, curious about what was inside.
"Girl, people outside are spreading rumors that Master Gu is back." Qingdai entered the room carrying a tray, with a cheerful smile on her face at this moment.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw a large box on the ground.
Qingdai asked curiously, "What is this?"
"It was sent here by Mr. Gu." The smile on Lian Xin's face gradually faded. Qingdai had been picking up a bird's nest for so long, so she thought she was going to find out more information.
"Master Gu sent them? What are they?" Qingdai put the bird's nest down and looked at Lian Xin with bright eyes.
Yao Mengxian curled her lips and smiled. Qingdai was not young anymore. Before, when she was at home, she had to rely on Qingdai to get information.
Now that the wedding date is set and she is about to leave the court, it would be inappropriate to keep Qingdai by her side.
And Lian Xin, this girl accepted death and said that she would follow her for the rest of her life. She still had other plans for Lian Xin. When she gets married in the future, she might as well choose a suitable one for Lian Xin from her husband's family.
She looked at all the servants in the Duke's mansion, but none of them liked them.
But Qingdai didn't intend to keep her anymore, Qingdai was worried.
"Open it and take a look!" Yao Mengxian smiled at the two of them. She was also curious about what was inside.
"Ouch! Is this silk from Jiangnan? The color is brighter than the one here! I heard that the silk from Jiangnan is better than the one in the capital. I have never seen this style before."
Qingdai touched a piece of rouge-colored misty silk, her eyes flashing with admiration. Such materials are rare in the capital, and she has never seen such materials even in the Duke's Mansion.
No wonder people say that it is good to be an official. Look, as long as you become an official, you can get all kinds of good things. It is impossible to say that this material was given to Mr. Gu as a filial piety. How can Mr. Gu go find it himself?
Yao Mengxian stepped forward to take a look. There were several pieces of cloth in the box. Looking at the material, she had never seen it before. However, she knew it was a valuable item at a glance.
"Girl, here is the gift list!" Lian Xin's sharp eyes saw the gift list at the top.
Yao Mengxian took it in her hand and looked at it. She had already seen these pieces of material. But what was contained in the box was a pair of pearl hairpins, another golden silk hairpin inlaid with rubies, a pair of tassel hairpins, and a pair of red coral bracelets.
Next, there are some gadgets, including a pair of white jade chess pieces, nine-link rings, puppets, etc.
Yao Mengxian couldn't help but smile and frown, did this person think of herself as a little baby?
A warmth hit my heart, and my face became a little rosier than before.
"Girl! Master Gu has sent a lot of things." Lian Xin was a little surprised, but then a sad look appeared on her face.
It is good for Mr. Gu to have his own girl in his heart, but these things are so valuable. If they just accept them, will the girl be looked down upon by Mr. Gu?
Although the girl is already Mr. Gu's fiancée, they are not married yet, right?
Even if the girl and Mr. Gu get married in the future, all these can only be brought into the Gu mansion as the girl's dowry. They have taken a big advantage.
"Girl, how much money do you get for so many precious things?" Qingdai had already looked at the jewelry quickly, and she was a little stunned by Gu Chengyu's generosity.
Yao Mengxian put down the gift list and said, "Put everything away!"
"Girl, there are so many things." Lian Xin hesitated, wondering if it would be bad to just keep them like this?
"It's okay. Grandma and the others must have seen it. Since it was brought here, it means that we can accept it."
Yao Mengxian was actually surprised by Gu Chengyu's generosity. She had heard from her grandmother that Gu Chengyu had given many good things to the house over the years.
She had been wondering before. She heard that the Gu family was from a farmer's family, how could they be so wealthy? Later, she heard her grandfather mutter that Gu Chengyu had a lot of money in his hands.
It's just that it's hard to say this to Lian Xin and Qing Dai. After all, officials are not allowed to do business. If it were said out loud, those censors would not be vegetarians.
Yao Mengxian ordered Lian Xin to put the things away, and then talked about Qingdai's marriage.
Qingdai is getting more and more worried now, and she doesn't plan to stay with him anymore. Last time, she caught Qingdai always leaning towards her elder brother, which made Yao Mengxian wary.
"Qingdai, I have mentioned your marriage to your mother before, and they said it depends on your own wishes. Someone from Wang Rui's family came to mention it to her boy before, what do you say?"
Yao Mengxian stared deeply into Qingdai's eyes, thinking that after so many years of friendship, she had already shown her utmost kindness to Qingdai.
Based on Qingdai's behavior in the house in the past two years, if she had not taken her love into consideration, she would have found a way to drive him away.
"Young lady, you want to leave this slave in the house? Your slave has already made an agreement with the girl before, and she wants to go out with you."
Qingdai's face was full of shock. Yao Mengxian had mentioned this matter before, but she was unwilling to do so, and then she didn't mention it again. She thought the girl had acquiesced.
But now that the girl has brought up the old matter again, how can she not be flustered?
It turns out that Gu Chengyu was still a sixth-rank official. Although he was capable, how could he compare with the young master who would inherit the title in the future?
So she often got close to the eldest young master, just to make the eldest young master fall in love with her and make her his aunt.
Unexpectedly, the wife actually gave birth to a son later. She felt that the eldest young master's succession to the throne was really a bit uncertain, so she is still waiting and watching.
Unexpectedly, it was reported that Master Gu had been promoted to the fourth rank of Dali Temple Shaoqing not long ago, which was extraordinary, and her mind became active again.
Mr. Gu has a face as beautiful as a crown jewel, and a jade tree stands in the wind. Who woman would not want to marry Mr. Gu?
Now that he has been promoted to the fourth rank, the aristocratic families in the capital are all regretful. It is a pity that they all got a huge advantage from Zhen Guo Gongfu.
At such a young age, he is considered to be of the fourth rank. After a few years, he might actually be able to become a highly respected minister.
Qingdai thought for a moment and concluded that Mr. Gu had a better future. In addition, the master of Gu Mansion had few children, so he would definitely live a peaceful life.
If as a dowry girl, she follows a girl to marry into the Gu Mansion and is raised as an aunt, will she still worry about not having a good life in the future?
Qing Dai watched Lian Xin gathering everything together and rearranging it, and she couldn't help feeling envious in her heart.
