Chapter 156 40,002 Dowry

"Fourth sister, you..."

Gu Yue stared at Gu Shan in disbelief.

Gu Shan always avoided her eyes and didn't say a word.

Gu Yue shouted "Ah", "I won't let you succeed, absolutely."

After speaking, Gu Yue rushed out of the Zhilan Courtyard.

Gu Zhen laughed hilariously, looking like she was in a good mood.

Gu Shan's face was flushed and she was very embarrassed, "I'm worried about the third sister's accident, I'll go and see."

"The fourth sister walk 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, and she discovered an astonishing fact with hindsight.

"Does the wife not pay attention to the third sister now? How is it possible."

Gu Zhen opened her mouth with a smile, "Why is it impossible. My wife was almost mad at her, and she didn't know how much she was holding back. That is to say, Gu Yue couldn't understand it herself, but she really thought she was in the northwest. She dared to come. Ask the second sister, do you want face?"

Gu Lin opened her mouth wide, her chin almost falling to the ground in shock.

Gu Jiu said, "Big sister really doesn't need to tear up her face with the third sister."

"Thank you second sister for caring about me. But looking at her smug look, I can't help wanting to stimulate her. Second sister, don't you want to see third sister crying bitterly? "

Gu Jiu looked at Gu Zhen with a half-smile but not a smile, and said, "Third sister really wants to cry and change her past, then it will be the wife's turn to feel distressed."

Gu Zhen was dumbfounded.

She laughed and said, "Second sister still understands. I'm so stupid, why should I wake up the third sister. If the wife becomes soft-hearted, won't she be complacent again?"

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Eldest sister doesn't need to worry about this. When I saw the expression of the third sister, it didn't look like she would cry bitterly. I think nothing is more important than a dowry these days."

Gu Zhen suddenly realized, and then burst out laughing.

"Second sister, I really have you, why didn't I think of it. The third sister should go to the wife to talk about the dowry.

With her temper, she was afraid that she would be mad at the wife. "

Gu Zhen still didn't say a word, Xie Shi was really going to be pissed off, and Gu Jiu's credit.

After all, Gu Jiu was accused of marrying Young Master Zhao, and he needed to prepare a large dowry.

With Xie's stingy temperament, this dowry can make her feel distressed.

This will be in the Furong Courtyard, and Mrs. Xie is discussing the dowry with Lord Gu.

"Yue'er needs a dowry, and the second girl is accused of marrying the prince, which is another dowry. If the eldest girl's marriage is fixed, three dowries will be prepared this year. The public is not willing to pay a penny more. In this way, my lord, our second room will have a famine this year."

Xie's calling him poor in front of Master Gu naturally had a purpose.

The words that the eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, told her before were still in her ears.

Gu Jiu married the emperor's grandson, not to mention tens of thousands of taels of dowry, how could she be willing.

At this time, he must be called poor, so that Lord Gu knows that it is a good thing for Gu Jiu to be accused of marrying the emperor's grandson, and the dowry alone can kill people.

Master Gu was overwhelmed with fatherly love, and when he thought that Gu Jiu was suffering for him, he realized that he owed a lot to Gu Jiu.

He said with a sullen face: "Let's not say anything else, Xiaojiu's dowry cannot be thin. The grandson she married must not be looked down upon. I plan to prepare a dowry of 40,000 taels for Xiaojiu."

"master?"

The flesh on Xie's face was shaking, and his fingers were shaking.

She really wanted to point at Master Gu's face and ask, what kind of grudge is there?

"Prepare a dowry of Su 40,000 taels for the second girl, where is there so much money. Master, don't forget, eldest girl, Yue'er also has to prepare a dowry. The boys have reached the age to say kisses, so they have to prepare a dowry."

Master Gu said in a deep voice: "Yue'er will prepare a dowry of 20,000 taels. For the dowry of the eldest girl, if the elder sister-in-law can talk about the marriage, they will prepare a dowry of 8,000 taels for her."

Xie Shi felt dizzy and swollen, and blood rushed to his forehead.

She simply didn't play the roundabout way, and said directly to Master Gu: "Master, there is no money in the account. After taking out 70,000 taels at once, there is nothing I can do."

Master Gu frowned.

Xie pursed his lips and did not speak, too much but very clear. Prepare a dowry of 40,000 taels for Gu Jiu, let's dream.

Her daughter's dowry was only 20,000 taels, which was twice less than Gu Jiu's dowry. Is she really the daughter born to her, not as good as the daughter born of the original wife?

Master Gu pondered for a moment, then said: "The dowry left by the Su family in the front is divided into half, which is almost 20,000. Add in the 5,000 taels from the public school, this is 25,000 taels. In addition, I will take another 10,000 taels. Two come out, and the remaining five thousand taels are taken from the account."

Just made up forty thousand taels of dowry.

Xie's eyes widened, his face pale, and he looked like he was greatly stimulated.

"Master said that Sister Su left a dowry worth 40,000 taels?"

How can there be so many?

Xie Shi couldn't believe it.

Master Gu nodded, "These years, this official has been out, but the Zhuangzi shops under the Su family are all in the capital, so they are neglected. If they could return to the capital two years earlier and take care of it well, Xiaojiu's 40,000 Two dowries, just relying on the share left by her deceased mother, are almost enough."

Xie's mouth was stunned, and his face was red.

She gritted her teeth, "Master, is it a bit too much to prepare a dowry of 40,000 taels for the second girl? We don't have much money in the account of our second room."

Master Gu looked at Xie Shi dissatisfiedly, "Could it be that you can't even get five thousand taels?"

"It's not that I can't get it out, it's not that it's too expensive."

Master Gu snorted coldly, "Xiaojiu... she is married to the palace. If the dowry is less than 40,000 taels, how can you make her stand up in front of others? I'm afraid that on the first day of marriage, she will be ridiculed and ridiculed. Thinking of Xiao Jiu being looked down upon in the palace, my heart..."

Master Gu covered his heart and wanted to say emotionally that his heart was 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.

Mr. Xie heard the unfinished words of Master Gu.

She frowned slightly, is the master confused?

When did you feel so distressed about Gu Jiu?

This is not right.

Xie shi gritted his teeth, "Master, the dowry of 35,000 taels is quite a lot. When a girl in the Hou residence gets married, it will be about the same amount of dowry."

Master Gu looked at Shi Xie coldly, "Madam, haven't you heard what the husband said? The husband made it very clear that the dowry for Xiaojiu should not be less than 40,000 taels. Among them, there are 35,000. Liang, it has nothing to do with you. Why, you are reluctant to even give up the mere five thousand taels? Those who are really stepmothers don't think of stepdaughters as human beings?"

"Master is wronged!"

Xie Shi was greatly aggrieved, and tears came down.

"When did the concubine not treat the second girl as a daughter? It was not the concubine who took care of her all these years.

When Sister Su gave birth to her, she was a thin and small child. If the concubine really has bad intentions, just deliberately delay one or two when asking the doctor, will the second girl still have today?

The concubine devotes herself to her heart and lungs, bears children for the master, and raises them hard. As a result, the master said such a cruel remark. The concubine is dead, dead. "

Xie was sobbing and crying, extremely sad.

Master Gu is also a little regretful, this seems to be too serious.

Seeing that Xie's performance was very good in the first month of the first month, the Xie family did not come to the house for a banquet yesterday, so Master Gu reassured: "It's my husband who misunderstood you. But Xiaojiu's dowry is not worth 40,000 taels or a penny. Less. Only 5,000 taels are required on the account, and it will not affect the purchase of the dowry for Yue'er, the eldest girl."

Xie Shi was still crying.

She covered her face with her sleeves, and was extremely angry in her heart.

What does it mean that you only need to pay five thousand taels on the account. Isn't the ten thousand taels paid by the master not money?

For Gu Jiu's dowry, the master was willing to spend 10,000 taels of private money. You must know that the money will be left to the brothers Gu Chen and Gu Gong in the future.

This is equivalent to taking her son's money to subsidize Gu Jiu.

How Xie Shi could hold back.

But looking at Master Gu's firm expression, Mrs Xie knew that her objection was useless.

Master Gu had really made up his mind to buy a dowry of 40,000 taels for Gu Jiu.

Xie's heart was sour, and tears fell.

This day is over.

She was lying on the bed crying sadly, she couldn't help herself.

Master Gu frowned, "Why are you crying again. My husband said it all, and I misunderstood you with those words before. Why do you care so much."

Xie Shi said angrily: "My concubine is sad, and I just want to cry. Master, don't worry about your concubine, you can go."

Master Gu frowned, "Don't make trouble! Finish the business first."

Xie shi bit her lip and said, "The master has the right to make up his mind, but the concubine has no opinion. Only Yue'er's dowry is double that of the second girl. If this is spread to Haixi Bo's house, what will they think? Yes? Wouldn't you think that Yue'er is inferior to the second girl, that our parents are biased, and then treat Yue'er harshly?"

"You think too much."

Master Gu rubbed his brows, "Gu Jiu is going to marry the emperor's grandson, and the dowry is more than Yue'er. Competitive?"

Xie Shi was choked, but she didn't give up, she still cried and said, "My concubine feels wronged for Yue'er."

Master Gu finally understood the meaning of Xie's trouble.

"Okay, Yue'er's dowry, I will pay another 5,000 taels, and I will treat it as a little favor from my father. In addition, I will also pay 3,000 taels for girl Zhen's dowry. So, are you satisfied?"

Xie Shi gritted his teeth and gradually stopped crying.

She sat up, her eyes were a little red and swollen, "The concubine took the master's heart for Yue'er and girl Zhen. The two children will be very happy when they know about it."

Master Gu hummed, "Hurry up with the children's dowry. Forget it, I'll make a list based on Su's dowry that year. How to arrange it will be discussed later."

Master Gu temporarily changed his mind.

Originally, he wanted Xie to come forward and arrange a dowry for Gu Jiu. This is also the rule.

But Master Gu thought about it, if the Xie family was asked to arrange Gu Jiu's dowry, with 40,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid they could only buy 30,000 taels of dowry at most.

Of these, 10,000 taels, needless to say, will definitely fall into Xie's pocket.

There is no need to say this, Master Gu simply planned to send someone to prepare the dowry. Anyway, Zhuangzi, shops, and some objects are ready-made.

For the rest of the matter, it's okay for Mrs. Zhang to keep an eye on her.

Xie opened her mouth and guessed what Master Gu was thinking.

But she didn't make a sound.

Because she didn't want to buy a dowry for Gu Jiu, even if it was beneficial, she didn't want to.

She was afraid that she would be pissed off.

In particular, Gu Jiu's dowry is in stark contrast to Gu Yue's.

As for money, Mr. Xie is really not short of money.

Following Master Gu for so many years, with the help of Mr. Xie Er, Mr. Xie saved a lot of money.

After the busy first month, the Xie family also plans to buy a Zhuangzi shop in the capital to make more money. By the way, everyone who is idle will be placed out.

Master Gu also wanted to mention a few words about Xie, but seeing Xie's appearance, he dismissed the idea.

Master Gu said, "This officer still has something to do, so let's go first."

"master!"

Mr. Xie stopped Mr. Gu, his eyes were like autumn water, which reminded Mr. Gu of the absurd years of his youth.

With a straight face, he asked, "What's the matter?"

The more I miss the absurd years of my youth in my heart, the more serious I have to pretend to be on my face.

Master Gu is such a temperament.

Xie said, "I will be visiting the Hou Mansion tomorrow. My concubine wants to ask the master, what kind of gift should I prepare?"

Master Gu said: "I will handle this matter for Gu Quan, you don't have to worry about it."

After speaking, Master Gu left the Furong Courtyard.

When Gu Yue heard the movement, she hurriedly hid in the wing, daring not to show her face.

She had come to Furong Court a long time ago, stopped the maid, and prevented her from reporting.

She stood under the window and surreptitiously listened for a long time.

Hearing that a dowry of 40,000 taels was prepared for Gu Jiu, but she only had 20,000 taels of dowry, she was so angry that her silver teeth were broken.

After Master Gu left, Gu Yue came out of the wing.

Chun He stood under the eaves, looked at Gu Yue, raised his voice deliberately and said, "Three girls are here, the servants will go in to report."

"Is it Yue'er here? Tell her to come in."

Xie's voice came from the room.

Chun He looked at Gu Yue with a smile, "Three girls, please come in. The wife is inside."

Gu Yue walked into the main room with a blank face, "Daughter greets mother."

"Sit down and talk."

Mr. Xie looked lazy and couldn't raise his spirits.

Mr. Xie sat upright on the chair, with mixed feelings in his heart, a garlic in his nose, grievances, and tears fell directly.

Xie shi stared at Gu Yue, "Why are you crying?"

"My daughter didn't cry, she was just sad."

Xie Shi asked blankly, "You heard it all."

Gu Yue panicked and her eyes flickered, for fear that Xie Shi would reprimand her.

As a result, Xie Shi just cheated her.

"Looking at your reaction, you should have overheard the conversation between your father and me. Chun He is getting more and more outrageous, even letting you eavesdrop."

"It's not about Sister Chunhe's affairs, it's my fault, it's me who wants to eavesdrop."

Xie sighed and said, "It's really rare, you will also think about others."

Gu Yue blushed instantly.
