Chapter 39: .Qianji

Shangyuan was full of lights, it was Weixi. The sky will be bright and not bright, it is for Xi. Gao Xi is the eldest daughter of the Guogongfu, and her own dowry is very expensive, and her mother Wei has only one child. Wei's dowry plus the dowry prepared by the British government, and the private subsidy of Princess Shoukang. Gao Xi's net worth can be imagined.
Later, Gao Xi died of illness without leaving the child. If the married daughter had no children, the dowry would have to be returned to the family. At that time, Gao Ran's re-marriage was already firmly established. The British father-in-law wanted to win over the in-laws of King Yan's Mansion, and that high-ranking attitude was very important. The British father-in-law had hemorrhage for this, and transferred most of Gao Xi's dowry to Gao Ran , And another four new sets of head and face jewelry. However, Gao Xi's dowry still contains the things of the Wei family. If it is an ordinary daughter-in-law, the British wife, the mother-in-law, can directly take the charge, but Wei has a princess, which is a bit tricky.
Wei has been dead for many years, she has a daughter under her knees, and Wei's dowry should be inherited by Gao Xi, and her family has no right to recover it. The trouble is that Gao Xi also passed away at a young age, and she did not leave any money. The British government was very nervous when handling Gao Xi's estate. Although the princess Shoukang has no successors over the years, she is seeing decline, but as long as Shoukang is still alive for one day, she will be the royal guest, the grandmother of the current emperor. The decline of Shoukang Princess Mansion is the royal family's own business. If outsiders dare not to face the princess, then the royal family won't make sense with you.
The British government was scrupulous about the senior princess, and could only politely handed over the words to the princess's mansion, asking Shoukang how to deal with Gao Xi and even the dowry left by Wei's back then.
Princess Shoukang enjoys royal worship for a lifetime. She opened her own door and set up her own account. She didn't have to be angry with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Her wealth was nothing but a foreign object. She really had nothing to obsess about. Although the princess mansion where Shou Kang lives now bears her title, after she dies, the princess mansion will be taken back by the clan mansion and will be awarded to another princess after repairs. It has nothing to do with the family of the horse and the horse. . Princess Shoukang does not have a son, and the family property of Nuo Da will be returned to the national treasury after death, so the dowry of the married daughter is not as valued as the ordinary family.
If this is an ordinary concubine, after Gao Xi's death, Wei's dowry is inherited by the concubine, even if this concubine has nothing to do with Wei and Princess Shoukang. But Gao Ran is the daughter of the Han family, the culprit who killed the Wei family in the first place, how could Princess Shoukang let this nest of take such a big advantage? After receiving the letter, Princess Shoukang sneered, and immediately ignored the faces of her in-laws, and ordered the long history of her house to go to the British government. The government planned to prepare Gao Ran to marry her, but Wei's things, What she prepared for her granddaughter Gao Xi had to bring back a melon seed.
After many years, the princess mansion took back the dowry of the daughter-in-law. The meaning of face-slapping was too heavy. The high-ranking households valued face the most. In this way, the princess Shoukang did this to treat the face of the British mansion in front of the entire capital. Throw it on the ground and step on it. The British husband-in-law is so angry, but who is the most noble in the family. The British lady-in-law was so angry that she didn't dare to do anything to Princess Shou Kang except for a few words with her son and wife in private. Now that the in-laws of the two houses have become feuds, the British elders and wives are also cold-faced, secretly talking about those things that are rare in the princess’s house. They are dignified in the British government. Can the Gao family’s married daughters still not afford a dowry?
So Gao Ran’s dowry was the part prepared by the British government in Gao Xi’s dowry, and some four-season clothes and gold and silver jewelry were added to the back. Of course, these dowries cannot be said to be bad, but they are more expensive than normal in the capital. Female level. There are many nobles in the capital like dogs, and there are too many princes and women who have superior family background and favored maidens, and Gao Xi's dowry is simply sky-high in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is nothing more than that in the eyes of women of the same class.
Wei is the only daughter, and Gao Xi is also the only daughter. The accumulation of dowries for three generations cannot be underestimated, and Gao Ran does not have the financial support of his mother's family. The dowry prepared by the British government is actually mediocre. After all, the British government has prosperous descendants. Even if Gao Ran is married, he is no more than a married woman. Can he compare with the sons and grandsons of the government? However, if Gao Ran gets the financial power of her husband's house in the Yan Dynasty, it is another matter. No matter how deep the family is, don’t compare richness and nobility with the royal family. The day that can be compared is probably the day when the family is cut off.
Lin Weixi breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the dowry of his mother Wei's dowry and the privately subsidized land deeds of her grandmother had been taken back by the princess mansion. That's good, the dowry given to her by the British government is the private property of the Gao family, and they are willing to transfer it to Gao Ran, Lin Weixi has nothing to say, and doesn't care much. But the relics of his mother Wei can't be tainted by Gao Ran anyway.
His mother's relics and grandmother's things did not fall into Gao Ran's hands. Lin Weixi was extremely happy. For a few days in a row, he was refreshed with happy events, and even looked at Gao Ran's eyes with kindness. In this way, what Gao Ran got was far from what she had originally. Lin Weixi deeply regretted this and was extremely happy.
At this time, thinking about the graceful behavior of showing off wealth a few days ago, Lin Weixi felt more and more ridiculous. Lin Weixi looked at Gao Ran with an inexplicable smile all night. Lin Weixi did not deliberately conceal his movements, Gao Ran was a little hairy for some reason, and even Gu Chengyao glanced at Lin Weixi strangely.
In the second half of the meal, Lin Weixi basically stopped moving the chopsticks, just poking at her own rice like a peck. After Gu Huiyan stopped, she immediately put the chopsticks down. Xu was too quick to put the chopsticks, so Gu Huiyan took a look at this place: "Eat well, don't giggle."
Lin Weixi was very dissatisfied with this sentence: "What is a giggle?"
The other servants in the room were shocked and numb when they heard this, even Gu Chengyao was not surprised. The hostess Lin is a very special existence in the palace. No matter who offends, she cannot offend Lin.
Sure enough, Gu Huiyan didn't care when he heard this contradiction. Instead, he changed the subject and talked about another thing: "You will get rid of the service in May. There is not much time left until now. Are the relevant things ready?"
Lin Weixi pursed her lips. She didn't answer, but turned her face to look at Gu Huiyan: "I want to get rid of the clothes in the Yanwang Mansion?"
Gu Huiyan glanced at her lightly: "Otherwise?"
The people listening next to him were a bit untenable. King Yan offered to give Miss Lin a filial piety, but Lin Weixi still showed reluctance? Gao Ran's expression wasn't very good at the time. Lin Weixi was too embarrassed of Qiao, and King Yan was really too. Why was this kind of hypocritical and pretentious woman so used to her? But Gu Huiyan mentioned this, and Gu Chengyao, who was sitting next to him, had no objection. Gao Ran just smiled and agreed: "Filial piety is a big thing. Miss Lin can get rid of filial filial piety in the Yanwang Mansion, and she really has a relationship with the Wangfu. I haven’t done anything about this. If there is something uncomfortable, please forgive me."
Gao Ran secretly buried the nail in his words. This is a polite sentence. Who knows that Lin Weixi really answered: "Since the concubine has never done anything about the wedding or funeral, then forget it. Funeral is not a big deal, myself. Arrangement is enough, there is no need for the concubine to study now."
When these words came out, Gao Ran was suddenly embarrassed. Gao Ran didn’t expect that a polite remark would actually be brought online by Lin Weixi. Her mouth stiffened and said to herself:
Although I am young, I am also guided by my grandmother and elders at home. She has been involved in some major events. Since Miss Lin lives in the palace, she is a distinguished guest of our house. Apart from serving this kind of affairs, how can you, as a guest, prepare it yourself?"
"What's wrong, I'm the only one left in the Lin family. If I don't meet His Royal Highness, what can't I do by myself?" Lin Weixi glanced to the side when she said that, she dared to go back to her face, but she didn't dare Brush Gu Huiyan's face. To put it bluntly, the right to decide on this matter is still in the hands of Gu Huiyan. Seeing Gu Huiyan’s expression calm and calm, Lin Weixi felt the invisible pressure and hurriedly said flattery: "I am related to His Royal Highness Yan. It’s not because of the predestined relationship with King Yan’s Mansion. It makes no sense to ask King Yan’s Mansion to help me remove the clothes. Your Royal Highness Yan is right?"
"Why is there no fate?" Gu Huiyan looked at Lin Weixi, his eyes were easy-going, but what he said was completely different, "There is a difference between King Yan's Mansion and I?"
"Of course there is a difference. King Yan is you, but King Yan's Mansion is a family entrusted by the court. If other people in the palace instigate me, I will certainly ignore it, but if it is King Yan you, then you can speak up, and I will be in your place. Keep going."
Gu Huiyan finally laughed and glanced at Lin Weixi lightly: "You can speak."
Lin Weixi knew there was a play when he heard it: "Then this is the case?"
"It's up to you."
Lin Weixi smiled immediately, and at the end he didn't forget to make a knife in Gao Ran's direction: "Although the guest is up to you, it is better not to bother you two. The concubine does not have to worry about learning. His Royal Highness has agreed. I'll toss it myself."
Gu Huiyan felt helpless and funny when he didn't forget to bring him. This kind of little girl's mind is too far away from him. Gu Huiyan is used to being surrounded by blood-stained military newspapers or cold court struggles. Suddenly, a little girl pulls him into the scheming of his children, as if he is also infected. The fireworks of another world. Although thin and shallow, it doesn't feel bad.
Gao Ran and Gu Chengyao sat together, and when Lin Weixi glanced at Gao Ran, Gu Chengyao naturally saw it. Both his upbringing and childhood experience tell him that he should like gentle and generous women, and Gu Chengyao has also thought so for so many years. Lin Weixi runs counter to the female virtues he expected. Gu Chengyao originally thought he would get bored, but when he really encountered Lin Weixi's undisguised provocation, he found that he was not impatient, but he was calm and faintly helpless. It's like...indulging.
Gu Chengyao was taken aback by his own thoughts, and immediately he laughed at himself. He was thinking about something, Gao Ran was destined to pursue it. He was just because of his father's face, so he tolerated Lin Weixi in every possible way.
The two male hosts showed a conniving attitude towards Lin Weixi, Gao Ran immediately became unhappy. She believed in her heart that Lin Weixi was deliberate and deliberately went the other way, attracting Gu Chengyao's attention, and then pretending to be pitiful with Gu Chengyao. Gao Ran was so angry that his liver hurts, and his heart became more determined, so he had to quickly let Lin Weixi move out. King Yan's Mansion can only have her as a mistress, and cannot tolerate a second master.
The matter of Lin Weixi's removal from service was finalized in this way. Gu Huiyan said that Lin Weixi was left to toss on her own, but later he was transferred to help her. Lin Weixi gave a little bit of excuses, and Gu Huiyan said: "This is a hand sent in my personal name. Didn't you say that you are unwilling to accept the help of the Yan King's Mansion, but you don't reject the Yan King."
All right, Lin Weixi obediently shut up.
On the third day of May, Lin Weixi took off his plain filial obedience and took off the fine white flowers on the bun. The three years of father's filial piety officially ended. Even so, Lin Weixi remembered the kindness of Lin Yong and the original body, and did not put on clothes such as bright red and rhubarb, but still wore a cool color shirt and skirt.
The princess Shoukang also paid close attention to Lin Weixi's filial piety, and it happened that it was the Dragon Boat Festival not long after. The emperor and the Queen Mother were going to Xiyuan to watch the dragon boat race, accompanied by the royal family members and nearby officials. The princess Shoukang sent her new clothes and new jewellery early, and she was eagerly preparing to dress up Lin Weixi, and then led her out to formally introduce the ladies and wives of the capital.
Lin Weixi looked at the Yunjin dress and sighed, but couldn't bear to disappoint her grandmother, so she followed the wishes of Princess Shoukang and dressed up grandly.
How could Lin Weixi think that Princess Shoukang had the idea of ​​giving her a blind date this time.
Wei is the princess' daughter-in-law, and married to the son of the British prince was also a resounding strong alliance. It’s just that the married guard Wei did not get along well with the British son. Wei was carrying the princess’s daughter. The British son also preferred weak and beautiful people. This marriage was noble, but the client Wei did not live well. . After the Han family regained their favor and became the apex of the British son, the relationship between Wei and the British son became even tighter.
