Chapter 213: arson

"Mother, is the dowry all included in my dowry?"
Gu Yue asked cautiously.
Xie nodded and responded, "These dowry gifts should naturally be brought by you to Hexibo Mansion along with the dowry."
Gu Yue was too happy, and Gu Jiu who looked after Gu Shan felt a lot pleasing to the eye.
She said to Gu Zhen: "Big sister, don't envy me."
Gu Zhen: Ha ha!
"The third sister thinks too much, I don't envy you."
Gu Yue smiled triumphantly, saying that she was not envious, but in fact she was too envious in her heart.
She looked at Gu Zhen, and I knew everything, and you couldn't hide my expression.
Gu Zhen was so sick that she rolled her eyes.
Gu Lin said suddenly: "I don't know how many bridesmaids the palace will give? Is there 20,000 taels?"
Gu Yue's face collapsed.
Gu Jiu laughed, Gu Lin was indeed an honest person.
Gu Jiu said: "It doesn't matter how many dowry the palace sends. I will accept as many."
Gu Yue sneered, she didn't believe it. Gu Jiu is clearly whitewashing peace.
"Second elder sister, you are married to the grandson of the emperor. If the palace does not have a betrothal gift of twenty thousand taels, it means that the palace does not value this marriage at all. Sister, you should save more snacks. I value you. What can I do when you get married to the palace."
Gu Jiu smiled, and said, "The third sister loves to worry about it. What are you worrying about when things haven't happened? I heard that people who care about getting old are easy to get old, and the third sister must pay attention."
Gu Zhen was snickering, but she accidentally laughed.
Gu Yue's expression was ugly, "Thank you for your second sister's concern. Don't worry, I am sure I am not as old as you."
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "We will wait and see."
Xie took a look around, forget it, since the truce is already, she is too lazy to face it.
"Mrs. Peony, please see me."
"Let her in."
Maid Shaoyao walked into the main room of Furongyuan.
"The slave and maid greet the second wife. My wife asked the slave to ask. Miss Jane, Miss Yue is about to get married. I don't know who the second wife is going to invite and how many seats? My wife should also prepare in advance."
Xie's eyebrows moved slightly, "I'm still a month away from Jane's wedding, why is your wife so anxious."
Shaoyao smiled, bowed and said: "The second wife has never done the marriage. I don't know that the marriage is very troublesome. Now we are starting to prepare. To be honest, it is already a bit late. Please hurry up and don't delay the two girls. Lifetime event."
When Gu Yue and Gu Zhen heard this, they both became anxious.
Aunt Hu cast her eyes to Gu Zhen, telling Gu Zhen not to stand out.
Gu Yue looked at Xie, "Mother, daughter's wedding, should we draw up a guest list first?"
Xie's face was stern and said to Shaoyao: "Go back and tell your wife, Jane’s wedding, ten tables. Yue'er’s wedding, forty tables."
Shaoyao asked: "Is the second wife sure?"
Xie's hummed, "I'm sure, you just answer the truth."
"The maidservant knows. The second maid, you are busy, so the maidservant will leave."
The peony leaves.
Gu Zhen wringed her handkerchief and lowered her head, her heart full of grievances.
Aunt Hu smiled awkwardly, "Mrs. Zhen, there are ten tables for the wedding of Jane, isn't it a bit missing?"
Hearing the words, Xie laughed mockingly, "It's not that I don't want to invite more relatives and friends to come, but I can't invite them. Jane is a concubine, how many people do you think would be happy to come to have a concubine's wedding drink?"
Aunt Hu opened her mouth and she could only use her eyes to appease Gu Zhen.
Gu Zhen was wronged, so she couldn't say anything.
Xie's smiled contemptuously, "Jane, don't be convinced. If you are a concubine, you have to admit your fate.
Even if I give you forty tables, do you think that many people will come?
It was just a waste of manpower, material resources and money, and also caused jokes from relatives and friends.
For Yue'er's big wedding, forty tables are open, that's different. She is a direct descendant and married the second son of Hexibo House.
Relatives and friends, as well as colleagues and classmates in the master's officialdom, will come to join in.
As for you, as a consort, it is not easy to have a good marriage. Don't be too big, and be at ease to marry. "
Gu Zhen sobbed: "I listen to my wife."
Aunt Hu secretly wiped away her tears and wronged Gu Zhen.
Seeing that Aunt Hu, mother and daughter were both sad, Xie became happy and felt a headache.
If you want to go out, you have to put your identity and position right. All day long delusion to get things that do not belong to me, it really owes a lesson.
"Second girl, have your big sister's dowry been prepared?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Mrs. Lao cares, it's already done."
Xie looked at Gu Jiu with a non-smiling smile, "Second girl does things neatly."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "Father confessed to me personally, and I must get the dowry for my big sister as soon as possible. How dare I neglect."
When it comes to this, Xie's stomach is full of unhappiness.
As the wife in charge, Master Gu actually passed her and asked Gu Jiu to buy her dowry. This is not what a face-slapped is.
Since then, if any maid dared to bring up the matter in front of Xie's, Xie's had to lick her.
However, Xie did not dare to pull Gu Jiu's mouth.
She wanted to soak Gu Jiu's mouth, but unfortunately she didn't have enough confidence.
Not only was Gu Jiu the original wife, he was also supported by Master Gu and was accused of marrying the emperor's grandson.
With multiple identities, like weights, Xie's became more and more jealous of Gu Jiu. I look forward to sending Gu Jiu out sooner, not seeing or worrying.
Xie said: "Let's do this for now, I'm tired, you all retreat."
Xie was unwilling to take his own humiliation, and took the initiative to end today's conversation.
Gu Jiu stood up first and left.
The others followed closely.
Gu Zhen was still sad, and Aunt Hu kept persuading her.
Gu Yue walked halfway and stopped abruptly.
"There is a pair of jade jade bracelets in the dowry, which I do not like. I will ask my mother to ask them to wear them for a few days."
Gu Yue rushed back to Furongyuan.
The maids saw Gu Yue and did not stop her. Guy because Xie's attitude toward Gu Yue is pretty good recently.
All the maids in Furongyuan are human beings. Xie's treats Gu Yue well, and they will naturally make it convenient for Gu Yue.
Gu Yue walked to the door of the main room and heard her mother Xie talking about the dowry. After hesitating, she hid behind the door and did not go in.
Chunhe handed the dowry list to Xie's, "Madam, this is the dowry prepared by the slave and the maidservant, please have a look."
Xie took the dowry list and looked through it carefully.
Chunhe said next to him: "Adding the dowry from Xibo Mansion in Shanghai, the total dowry is 25,000 taels, and there are five thousand taels of silver. The slave and maidservant considered that the three girls arrived at Haixibo Mansion and wanted to reward people, so they prepared specially. Three hundred taels of scattered silver and about ten taels of copper coins."
Xie nodded in satisfaction, "It's enough to prepare these dowries for Yue'er. This is how her marriage was done, and it was not glorious after all. In the future, she can only count on Shan'er's marriage. Anyway, Shan'er's marriage The media must be married and never gossip."
"What the wife said is. The dowry of the four girls should also be prepared in advance?"
Xie laughed, "Naturally, we have to prepare in advance. Just for an appliance, a bed, a cabinet and so on, I have to send someone to the south to collect the good wood, and then ask the craftsman to make the furniture."
Chunhe asked casually: "I wonder how much dowry your wife plans to prepare for the four girls?"
Xie said with a smile: "Shan'er is sensible and polite, and will surely be able to marry a good family. Her dowry is less than forty thousand taels."
哐!
There was a noise outside the door.
"Who's outside?" Xie was very dissatisfied.
In Furong Yard, did anyone dare to eavesdrop and seek death?
"Slaves go out and have a look."
Chunhe walked out the door in two steps in three steps, without seeing anyone.
But an incense burner rolled to the ground.
Chunhe frowned and picked up the incense burner and put it on the table.
She came outside and called Dongmei who had just come out of the pantry, "Who was here just now?"
Dongmei said: "Three girls! She said to find a wife and wear a pair of jade bracelets in the bride price for a few days."
"Are you sure it's the third girl?"
Dongmei nodded repeatedly, "What's the matter?"
Chunhe smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing, just ask casually."
Chunhe was a little nervous. The third girl must have heard the conversation between her and his wife. She was stimulated and ran away.
Chunhe returned to the main house.
Xie asked: "Who was outside just now?"
Chunhe thought about it, and didn't want to tell the truth.
"Return to Mrs. No one. I think there was a wind just now and the little girl didn't put the censer in place. When the wind blew, the censer fell on the ground and made a movement."
Xie's face was stern, "Order to go down, and do everything carefully in the future."
"Slaves obey orders."
Gu Yue rushed out of Furongyuan in one breath.
The maid saw that her wrists were empty and her expression was ugly, so she asked: "Girl, doesn't the wife agree? I want to come, after all, it's a betrothal gift, so naturally you can't wear it at will. If it breaks, it will be troublesome. Up."
Gu Yue shouted at the maid in a low voice, "Shut up, just say a few words for me."
Several maids bowed their heads and said nothing, secretly sticking out their tongues and making faces. Guess that the third girl must have been angry with his wife.
Gu Yue had to walk in the garden at a loss.
It was also a prostitute, and the difference between her dowry and Gu Jiu's dowry was so big that she recognized it. The person who asked her to marry was not the emperor's grandson.
But why Gu Shan's dowry has to pass her.
Is it possible that Gu Shan can also marry the emperor's grandson?
Ha ha!
Unconsciously, Gu Yue came to Fangcaotang.
Gu Shan lives in Fangcaotang.
Gu Yue looked up at the plaque on the courtyard gate, with hatred in her heart.
She opened the door and rushed inside without waiting for her mother-in-law to report.
"Three girls, wait a minute, and the slave and maid will give an announcement."
"No. There is no need to be so polite between me and my fourth sister."
Gu Yue broke into the bedroom directly and saw Gu Shan doing needlework.
Gu Yue laughed happily, "Sister Si, you are surprised that I will come over."
Gu Shan was indeed surprised. She put down her needlework and invited Gu Yue to drink tea in the side room.
"Why did Sister San come here at this time?"
Gu Yue smiled and said, "I came here if I wanted to see you. I didn't expect my fourth sister to still learn to do needlework, so why not let the people do it?"
Gu Shan said: "I just learned to make pouches and handkerchiefs. I can't do anything else well. Sister Sister drinks tea."
The maid put the tea cup by Gu Yue's hand.
Gu Yue picked up the tea cup, and a thought came to her mind. What would happen if she splashed this hot cup of tea on Gu Shan's face?
The more I think, the more impulsive.
Gu Yue's hands were shaking.
Gu Shan stretched out her hand to hold the tea cup steady for Gu Yue, and asked with concern: "Is the third sister uncomfortable?"
Gu Yue recovered, shook her head and smiled, "It's okay. This tea is too hot, I will drink it later."
After that, put the teacup back on the table.
Gu Shan laughed, "I almost forgot, the third sister doesn't like to drink too hot tea."
Gu Yue looked out the window, the heat was blazing, "Is it hotter to drink hot tea on such a hot day? Fourth sister, I will be married soon, do you have anything to say to me?"
Gu Shan was stunned, and then said: "I wish my third sister will come true, and we will grow old together with sister-in-law Zhao, kind and loving."
Gu Yue took the handkerchief and covered her lips with a smile, "The four sisters are really nothing new when they speak. But it's better than the past."
Gu Shan smiled embarrassedly, "Sister No. 3 doesn't like me to be reasonable, so I won't talk about it later."
Gu Yue stared at Gu Shan with a faint smile, "Is the fourth sister really so obedient?"
Gu Shan said seriously: "I don't want to have a dispute with the third sister, we are sisters after all."
The three words "pro and sister" are like a knife piercing Gu Yue's heart.
Ha ha!
Sisters!
The dowry has doubled.
Her marriage was indeed contrived by means, but it was also the Hexibo Mansion.
Why should she be inferior to others, or should she be inferior to Gu Shan?
Only two thousand taels of dowry were prepared for her, and she refused to give the extra penny. She gave Gu Shan a dowry of 40,000 taels, and she looked proud of Gu Shan.
Ha ha!
This is my sister!
Such a partial mother in the world.
Gu Yue stared at Gu Shan's face, thinking, if she scratched Gu Shan's face, how could her mother be proud of Gu Shan.
"Sister Si, what are you looking at me? Is there anything on my face?"
Gu Yue recovered and smiled, "Your face is very clean and there is nothing."
Gu Shan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled embarrassedly.
Gu Yue looked at the layout of the room, "The fourth sister loves reading as always."
Gu Shan said: "Not as good as the second elder sister. There are so many books in the second elder sister's room, which can be regarded as an extensive book."
Gu Yue disliked, "What are you doing with your second sister. If you don't learn her well, people will become more and more mean."
Gu Shan gaped, "Second Sister, she is not mean, she is very generous."
"I said she is mean, she is mean. Why, don't you even listen to me?"
Gu Shan frowned, "Sister Third, what happened to you today? Aren't you quite happy before?"
Gu Yue sneered, "You ask me what's wrong? I also want to ask my fourth sister, what kind of ecstasy did you give your mother so that your mother is thinking about you everywhere? All good things are left to you. Even your dowry More than me, why?"
Gu Shan asked back, "What dowry? I don't know what the third sister is talking about."
Snapped!
Gu Yue slapped the table with a slap, "Don't pretend to be garlic. Tell me, what exactly did you use to make your mother look at you differently. Say it!"
Gu Yue gave Gu Shan a push.
Gu Shan hit the back of the chair in pain. Physiological tears fell.
Seeing Gu Shan's tears, Gu Yue felt extremely happy in her heart.
"You dare not admit it, do you? You seem to be sensible and polite on the surface, and you don't use less means behind your back. You won, and my mother has completely abandoned me now. You are very proud, right?"
Gu Yue grabbed Gu Shan by the collar and pulled her up, "Are you talking? Are you dumb?"
Gu Shan struggled, trying to push Gu Yue away.
"Three sisters, what are you crazy? You let me go."
"Okay, I will let you go now."
Gu Yue vigorously pushed Gu Shan out.
Gu Shan fell to the ground, her arm hurt half to death, and more tears fell.
"Three sisters, you go out. I don't welcome you here."
"It's not your turn to welcome me."
Gu Yue picked up the tea cup on the table and threw it at Gu Shan.
"Three girls, stop."
When Gu Shan's maid heard the movement, she rushed in from outside and grabbed Gu Yue's hand.
Gu Yue didn't notice, the tea cup fell directly to the ground, splashing her whole body of tea.
Gu Yue was furious, so she gave the maid a slap backhand and kicked her abdomen again.
The maid slammed into the desk and couldn't straighten her back in pain.
Gui Yue was furious and picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it towards the maid.
"No!"
Gu Shan shouted, stood up and rushed towards Gu Yue.
The two sisters fell to the ground together.
Gu Yue was heartbroken and directly took the inkstone and slammed it on Gu Shan's back.
Gu Shan fainted without knowing where it was.
Gu Yue was stunned, and then pushed Gu Shan away.
She stood up.
Embarrassed.
Stepping forward, Yantai slammed the maid directly on her body, and the maid cried out in pain, and there was no sound.
When Gu Yue saw that Gu Shan's master and servant fainted to the ground one after another, he laughed.
That's cool!
that's nice!
She threw the inkstone away, looked around, and finally took out the fire book and lit a few books.
The tongue of flame suddenly rose, and Gu Yue was shocked.
She stared at the two people on the ground, gritted her teeth, heartbroken, and ran out quickly.
Let the fire spread in the room.
