Chapter 188

Gu Jiu is listening to Xiaocui's gossip, and the news of the quarrel between Mr. Gu and Mr. Xie.

Green bamboo enters the door to say: "girl, the master calls you to go to the outside courtyard study."

"Is there any reason why the master will see me at this time?"

Green bamboo shakes his head, "the boy who is passing on the message is not clear, just let the girl go quickly. It seems that the master has something important to tell you. "

Gu Jiu said: "I know, tell the messenger, I will be there in a minute."

Qingmei worried, "the master has just quarreled with his wife, and he wants to see the girl. It won't be anything."

Gu Jiu smiles and says, "no matter what happens, you have to go."

She guessed that it was Xie's fault that Mr. Gu saw her at this time.

Came to the door of the study outside the courtyard, after notification, Gu Jiu entered the study.

"My daughter has seen her father."

"Sit down."

Gu Jiu is as good as a stream and sits on the chair.

She looked at Mr. Gu quietly, who had calmed down. There was no anger in his face, but his expression was too serious, as if something very serious had happened.

Mr. Gu coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "listen to your great aunt, you have learned very well."

"My great aunt praises me. My daughter just does her best. " Gu Jiu slightly bows down and says.

It's good to know everything for adults

After a pause, Mr. Gu took out a dowry list. "This is your dowry list. You can have a look first, and you can creak what you want to add."

Gu Jiu is surprised, did not expect to see her dowry list in advance.

Then, my heart was happy again.

"Thank you, father."

Gu Jiu takes the dowry list with both hands, from furniture to daily necessities, cloth, quilts and covers, almost everything one needs in one's life can be found on the dowry list.

At the bottom of the list, Gu Jiu is also most concerned about. There are 5000 taels of silver at the bottom of the box.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, five thousand taels of silver can do a lot of things.

In addition to the dowry of the farm and shop, Gu Jiu can already foresee the life of a little rich woman after marriage.

After reading, Gu Jiu put the dowry list back on the table, "my father worked hard for her daughter's marriage. Everything was very complete. My daughter couldn't think of anything else to add."

Mr. Gu nodded, "to be a parent is to help children live a good life. What do you think of a maid's wife

Gu Jiu thought about it and said, "my daughter will make a list tomorrow and give it to my father."

"That's fine. The people who marry with you will be your confidant in the future. You should nod your head and agree. In order to avoid the discord between the master and the servant, people will take advantage of it

"Thank you, father."

"Well!"

The next topic seems to be hard for Mr. Gu to say, and he has never spoken.

The housekeeper took care of the whole situation. What should he do at this time? Of course, he shared his worries for the master.

"I don't know if the second girl knows that the wedding date of the eldest girl is set in July. Time is pressing, but the eldest girl's dowry hasn't been prepared yet. The master is worrying about it. The steward of the second girl is a good hand and filial. At this time, she should stand up to share the worries of the master

Gu Jiu looks at the housekeeper in surprise and asks her to prepare the dowry for Gu Zhen. Is there any mistake.

Mr. Gu really had a wonderful idea. He quarreled with Xie's family and even came up with this idea.

Gu Jiu said: "the elders are here. There is no reason for me to prepare the dowry for my elder sister. I'm afraid it will be talked about. "

"No harm!"

Mr. Gu said simply, "we should act in a hurry. The wife is busy preparing the dowry of three maids. She is busy preparing the dowry for you. Jane's wedding date is recent, and the dowry has not yet started to prepare. At this time, dowry is the priority. You don't have to worry about what outsiders say

Gu Jiu lowers his head and smiles. Looking back on the quarrel between the adults and Xie's family, it seems that the situation is even more serious than the rumor.

Gu Jiu didn't know that Mr. Gu started to beat Xie's family.

If she knew, she would sing a cool song for Xie.

Xie's death was his own.

Don't worry about it, she'll kill herself.

Gu and Xie's quarrel, Gu Zhen's dowry is just a fuse.

The fundamental reason is that both of them have accumulated a lot of resentment and dissatisfaction towards each other.

Xie Mao's actions alone have made Mr. Gu hate everyone in the Xie family, including the Xie family.

The reason why he didn't turn over with Xie was that he didn't want people to see jokes, and he wanted to face it.

At the same time, in order to stabilize the relationship between Xie's family and his family in the backyard.

Therefore, at that time, Mr. Gu tolerated the Xie family.

The couple get along like nothing.It must be said that Mr. Gu's patience paralyzed Xie for a time.

Now that the empress has died of illness, the East Palace is on the wane, and the crown prince may be abolished at any time.

As a subordinate official of the East Palace, Xie Mao may be beheaded at any time.

To Mr. Gu, that's great.

At this time, there is no need for Mr. Gu to tolerate Xie's family any more. Naturally, if we seize the opportunity, we should teach Xie a lesson and let off the resentment accumulated for such a long time.

However, Xie thought that because she was old and old, Gu Da talent hated her.

Of course, there are also reasons for this.

However, the reason why Mr. Gu really dislikes Xie's family is still because Xie Mao.

Old age and old age are just the last straw to crush Gu's reason. Dowry is the fuse of anger.

Gu Jiu asked softly, "my father asked me to take care of my elder sister's dowry. Does the wife agree?"

With a straight face, Mr. Gu said, "madam, you don't have to pay attention to it."

Gu Jiu bowed his head and knew it in his heart. It seems that Mr. Gu intended to discredit Xie.

I don't know how much the quarrel between the couple is.

Gu Jiu thought about it for a while, "it's the daughter's job to share his father's worries. I don't know how much dowry my father is going to prepare for her big sister? How many betrothal gifts are prepared for the Xu family. "

Mr. Gu frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "prepare five for your big sister..."

He wanted to say five thousand taels of dowry, but when it came to his mouth, Mr. Gu suddenly changed his words, "prepare for eight thousand taels of dowry. I make up 3000 Liang in private, plus the public money, the rest from the book. As for the dowry of the Xu family, no matter how much, all of them will be used as dowry for your big sister. For a family like us, there's no reason to detain the bride price of a girl's family for household use. "

Gu Jiu should say, "the dowry is not included. Eight thousand taels of silver should be enough to buy a dowry for the eldest sister. It's just that there's no time to make new furniture. Father and daughter have an idea. I don't know whether to speak or not. "

Mr. Gu nodded, "go ahead."

Gu Jiu said: "the furniture in the elder sister's room is not out of date. It is popular in recent years. It's better to ask a few painters to repaint the furniture, and then they can be married to the Xu family as dowry. In this way, you can leave more money for the elder sister.

In addition, Chuang Tzu and his shop, I think, should be set up separately. Anyway, the big sister will have income every year. When she spends money, she can be more relaxed. The rest of the items, silk, satin and cotton, should be prepared more.

Calculate, should be able to prepare 60 sets of dowry for big sister. I don't know what my father thinks of her daughter

Mr. Gu nodded secretly, "you are very considerate. You go down first, draw up a dowry list according to 8000 taels. If there is no problem, you can buy according to the list. "

Gu jiuying, "daughter listen to the father."

After finishing the business, Gu Jiu is ready to leave.

At this time, the boy came in and reported that the sixth young master and his wife had come.

Gu nine a Leng, Xie's good fast speed, this to find the door. She also took Ms. Gu as a helper.

Gu Jiu secretly looks at Mr. Gu. It seems that there is another tough battle to fight.

Mr. Gu frowned, "what are they doing here?"

The boy shook his head, "I don't know."

With a straight face, Mr. Gu uttered a hum from his nose, "let them in."

As soon as he was pardoned, he went out in a hurry.

Gu Jiu also took the opportunity to say goodbye.

However, Gu Jiu is still a little slow. Before she leaves the study door, Xie and Gu Cheng come in.

As soon as Xie enters the door, he stares at Gu Jiu first. His eyes were full of fire, and he looked like he was going to eat people.

Gu Jiu is not afraid of Xie. She looks at Gu Cheng.

Gu's face was not very good-looking, and she seemed embarrassed. He shook his head slightly toward Gu Jiu and told Gu Jiu to go away quickly, without having to participate in these disputes.

Gu nine slightly nods, raises the foot to be about to leave.

"Stop!" Xie's voice, called Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu looks back at Xie's family, and then looks at Mr. Gu.

It was a contest between them. She wanted to see whether the west wind prevailed over the east wind, or whether the east wind prevailed over the west wind.

Gu said with a straight face, "Xiao Jiu, you can leave. I'll tell you what to do. You'll do it as soon as possible. "

"My daughter listens to her father."

Gu Jiu ignored Xie's family and left the study neatly.

Xie's face turned white with anger.

Gu Cheng coughed softly, "mother!"

It seems to remind Xie not to be embarrassed by Gu Jiu.

Xie snorted and was also dissatisfied with Gu. Is it her own son? Why does she always help Gu Jiu talk.

"What are you doing here? Is it too much time for him to read

Mr. Gu was extremely dissatisfied with Xie.

Gu Jiu left the study, the voice in the study, also gradually away.Gu Jiu slightly shakes his head. This family war will obviously end with Xie's failure and compromise.

But will Xie compromise and accept his fate?

To Gu Jiu's understanding of Xie's, certainly not.

Xie's family will hibernate for a while, looking for opportunities and waiting for opportunities.

However, Mr. Gu's understanding of Xie's family is still superficial.

He didn't know that the killing power of a woman's madness was astonishing.

Look, one day, Mr. Gu will fall into Xie's hands and suffer a great loss. He will know, don't look down upon the housewives, especially the crazy women like Xie's.

It can be said that Xie's and Xie Mao are brothers and sisters, both of whom have crazy genes.

Gu Jiu walks in the garden and pinches a flower.

Does she want to remind Mr. Gu?

Even if she says something to remind her, can Mr. Gu listen to it?

From the bottom of his bones, Mr. Gu looked down on Xie's family. How could he regard Xie's family as a threat.

Gu Jiu chuckles softly. One day, Mr. Gu will pay the price for belittling women.

"Ah, this flower is so beautiful."

Gu Jiu sighed.

She'd better keep silent, don't be too talkative and obnoxious.

Some things, without personal experience, will not believe.

She would be a quiet lady in the boudoir, watching the couple fight.

Gu Jiu turned back and said to Xiaocui, "go and invite the elder sister to Zhilan courtyard. You tell her that it's about her dowry."

Xiaocui bows down to invite Gu Zhen.

Green plum said: "the girl is responsible for the dowry for the eldest girl. I don't know how many people will be shocked when the news spreads out. Master, this is not to give his wife face at all. "

Gu Jiu chuckled softly, "the master and his wife have already torn their faces. How can they give their wives face. Let's go back to the room. It's time for the elder sister to come

Garden hot, or return to Zhilan courtyard cool, because there is an ice basin.

It's hot early this year, and the government has prepared the ice basin early.

It would be perfect to have another chilled watermelon.

However, there is no watermelon.

Gu Jiu said, "there are two granges in my dowry. Next year, I'll have watermelon planted on the farm. When it's hot, there's iced watermelon to eat. "

"The girl thinks so long that she has already thought about next year."

Gu Jiu laughed, "I was in the study outside the courtyard before, and the master showed me my dowry list. There are many good things. The dowry of 40000 Liang silver is really rich. I'm afraid there are 140 dowries. "

"One hundred and forty sets, that's quite a lot. I heard that the three girls had 120 dowries, but her dowry was half as much as that of the girl. It can be seen that every dowry is light and floating, which is purely for face

Gu Jiu said with a smile: "it's a matter of marriage. Face must be done. I don't know how much money my wife has prepared for the third sister. "

If the silver is too small, with the speed of Gu Yue's spending money, I'm afraid that he will return to the government to play autumn wind before next year.

At that time, Xie will give or give.

"Girl, here comes the big girl, and aunt Hu."

Gu Jiu raised eyebrows, "please come in."

Gu Zhen's eyes were red and swollen, and she obviously cried.

Aunt Hu is also worried and nervous.

"Big sister, aunt Hu, please sit down. Green plum, tea. "

Gu Zhen was very anxious. As soon as she sat down, she asked, "second sister, you asked me to come here and say that my dowry is related. Please tell me more about it. "

Gu nine pursed her lips, "big sister, don't worry. You should have a cup of tea first, and then we can talk about business."

Gu Zhen was in such a hurry. Fortunately, aunt Hu caught her and shook her head slightly.

After drinking tea, Gu Zhen finally calmed down.

"Can the second sister speak now?"

Gu Jiu pondered for a moment, "to be honest, I just came back from the study in the outer courtyard. My father ordered me to buy the dowry for my elder sister. "

"Ah?" This is Gu Zhen. She looks surprised.

"What?" This is aunt Hu, an unbelievable look.

Gu Jiu nodded solemnly, "you heard me right. My father asked me to buy the dowry for you. The dowry is eight thousand taels. "

"Really?"

Gu Zhen's eyes brightened and she was very happy. "Second sister, didn't you cheat me?"

Gu Jiu smiles and shakes his head, "how dare I cheat you in such a big matter."

"Great." Gu Zhen wept with joy and couldn't get excited.

But aunt Hu was worried, "the master went over his wife and directly asked the second girl to buy dowry for Jane. This is beating the wife's face."

Gu Zhen muttered, "my wife deserves it."

Aunt Hu stared, "shut up. How to talk? Do you forget the rules? "Gu Zhen is guilty.

Aunt Hu and Gu Jiu said: "the big girl's words are all unintentional, please two girls right when you did not hear."

Aunt Hu is very worried that Gu Zhen's words will reach Xie's ears.

If Xie intended to give Gu Zhen small shoes to wear, it would also make Gu Zhen very embarrassed and lose face in front of others.

Gu Jiu said with a clear smile, "did big sister speak just now? I didn't hear that

Aunt Hu can rest assured that Gu Jiu is the best person in her heart. It's very sweet to talk and do things. It's no wonder that the eldest lady, the several ladies in the Houfu next door, and the old lady all like Gu Jiu.

Gu Zhen is far inferior to Gu Jiu in this respect, and still has to learn.

Aunt Hu thanks Gu Jiu with a smile.

Gu Jiu nodded slightly and said, "listen to my arrangement for the eight thousand taels of dowry silver. If we have different ideas, let's talk about it slowly and draw up a dowry list that everyone is satisfied with, OK? "

Gu Zhen nodded again and again, "second sister, how should I arrange the eight thousand taels?"

Green plum is ready for the four treasures of the study.

Gu Jiu took up the pen to write down his preliminary dowry, one by one.

After writing, she handed the list to Gu Zhen for a look. "Big sister, please have a look. If there is something wrong, you can mention it."
