Chapter 154 (2/2)
We don't have the life to gamble. In order to protect the family, we can only avoid it. Do you understand? ”
Xie's frown looked at Zhang's, ”elder sister-in-law doesn't care about the east palace?”
Zhang picked up his eyebrows and laughed, ”Chao Tang's event is not something that I can understand as a woman's way. Don't say that, don't say that. ”
As she spoke, she waved her hands, and obviously didn't want to talk about Donggong.
”Xie's gnashing teeth,” so say, two wench really will marry emperor sun? ”
”Maybe. If the palace really under the edict, sister-in-law will quickly prepare a rich dowry for Xiaojiu. ”
Xie's self mockery a smile, ”to two wenches prepare dowry, but can't turn to me.”
Zhang Shi is a little confused, ”sister-in-law, how can I not understand this. Does Xiaojiu have to prepare her own dowry? ”
Xie snorted coldly, ”don't you know that sister Su's dowry has been in the charge of my master all these years. From the beginning to the end, I didn't touch it.
Before sister Su passed away, she said that her dowry should be shared equally between Sanlang and eryatou.
With the half dowry left by sister Su and the marriage of two girls, where do I have to worry about? ”
Listening to Xie's angry words, Zhang sneered.
I don't know what to say to Xie's family. My heart is so big. Gu Jiu is getting married and still haggling.
No wonder after the two rooms and one family returned to Beijing, Mr. Gu was dissatisfied with Xie's family.
Xie's temperament had no influence on Gu when he let go of local parents.
Among the wives and wives around, Xie's position is the highest. Everyone should hold the Xie family. As long as Xie does not go too far, everyone will tolerate it.
But now in the capital, the officials of the third grade are all over the place. In the capital where the nobility is not as good as the dog, there are 100000 mountains on the top of him. He should be careful to deal with it and see what others look at.
Xie's work is still the same as before. She thought that it was in the place where others would hold her.
It must be Mr. Gu who can't stand it first.
Mr. Gu has adjusted to deal with the situation in Beijing with a new mentality.
However, Xie's mentality is still in the past. I'm the oldest. You all have to listen to my state. Sooner or later, I'll offend people and cause accidents.
Unfortunately, Xie didn't know it and was still confident.
Gu Jiu's marriage, if someone else is in the Xie's position, even if Gu Jiu is not his own, other people will be generous and happy to prepare for Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu married well, and the whole family had face.
Even if you can't directly ask Gu Jiu for help, you can still get a little light indirectly.Just as Zhang said before, when Gu Shan talks about marriage, he will definitely be able to talk about a better marriage in the name of Gu Jiu. Children can also marry better girls.
Zhang himself is planning to wait for the imperial edict, will borrow the name of Gu Jiu, to say two better marriage to his two sons.
No matter how much people resist marrying the emperor, if someone in the family really marries him, it will be a good thing for a family like Gu Fu before the battle for his wife is settled.
Of course, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages for people like Hou's residence.
Because they were forced to take part in the struggle for the throne.
Gu Fu is an ordinary official family with limited ability. If you want to take part in the struggle for the throne, you may not like it.
The truth should be said, Xie was stubborn and could not listen to advice, so Zhang was too lazy to continue to waste his words.
Zhang took a sip of tea and said, ”if Xiaojiu is really accused of marrying his grandson, the dowry should be at least 120 and 30000 Liang. It's better to make plans earlier. ”
Xie's face turned green after hearing 120 sets of dowry.
”Sister in law is not joking. Thirty thousand taels? I don't believe that sister Su can leave a dowry of 30000 Liang. Even if there are thirty thousand taels, it is impossible to give them all to two girls, and half of them will be given to Gu
Zhang's smile, ”this sister-in-law discussed with the second younger brother, I will not participate.”
Xie's face hardened, ”our two families do not separate, two girls get married, how much money can the public give?”
”According to the rules, there are 3000 Liang girls who come out of wedlock and 1500 taels of girls from common people. Don't my brother and sister know about this? A few days ago, you sent someone to ask me for Gu Yue's dowry silver. I said it would be given to you on the 15th day of the first month. Do you really forget it? ”
Zhang looked at Xie with a smile.
Xie's heart was angry, ”what is 3000 Liang enough to do? It's not enough for the bottom silver for the girl. ”
Zhang's smile, said: ”this I can't help. Even if it is the Hou's house, the maiden will only give 5000 liang of dowry silver, and the rest will be paid by the head of each room.
Sister in law, we can't compare with Hou's house, but 3000 Liang is not too much. It is more than ten times better than many official families in Beijing. Thanks to the ancestors, let's enjoy zumeng. ”
The Xie family was blocked by Zhang's, and his face turned blue.
Zhang stood up and said, ”Oh, there are many things that I haven't prepared for tomorrow's banquet. You are busy, sister-in-law. I'll go first. ”
Zhang left with her servant girl.
Xie picked up the teacup and smashed it to the ground.
As a result, when she reached the air, she remembered that it was the property of the public. If she dared to smash the tea cup, Zhang would dare to let her lose money.
Xie bit his teeth and put the cup back on the table.
She stood up and rushed into Chunhe and said, ”let's go back.”
……
Weiyang palace, Fang Shaojian station in front of the bed to report the situation.
The empress closed her eyes as if she were asleep.
But when the report of Fang Shao Jian was finished, the empress opened her eyes in an instant.
Her eyes were shining like stars.
”Liu Zhao wants to marry Gu Jiu? Is it serious? ”
”It's true. His majesty summoned Gu Jiu. It is said that Gu Jiu behaved very well. His majesty basically approved the marriage. It is estimated that the marriage will be granted tomorrow. ”
The empress laughed, ”you say Liu Zhaoxuan Gu Jiu is really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Or is there any other purpose? ”
Fang Shaojian thought for a moment, ”my mother has met Gu Jiu. What kind of girl is that?”
The empress recalled Gu Jiu's process and said, ”she is a steady girl.”
Fang Shaojian looks strange, ”there are so many famous families and precious women in the capital city. The prince's imperial edict chooses Gu Jiu, who is not well-known. It's really strange.”
”That's it! Liu Zhao was a traitor. Before he took the initiative to stir up disputes, so that Jin Wuwei had an excuse to investigate the east palace. If the palace did not detect in time, the East Palace moths one by one caught out, he almost succeeded. In the past, we really looked down on him. ”
Fang Shaojian said: ”in the past, we really underestimated the imperial edict of the young master. But it's a little strange that he chose to make a difficult choice at this time
The empress sneered, ”I guess it's hard to see the palace. I can't bear it. I just want to jump out and weigh the weight of the east palace. This opportunity is also to test the ability of this palace, to see if this palace can suppress the east palace
”The empress can hold down the East Palace naturally.”
”But the prince can't hold down the east palace. Once the palace is gone, the prince alone will be in danger. Liu Zhao clearly saw this. He chose Gu Jiu as his wife, just to dispel the suspicion of the palace. Hum, I don't think this palace will be cheated by him. ”
”What to do next?”
The Queen's mother frowned and her mind flashed.
”Niang, do you want to complete the imperial edict? After all, it means that he doesn't get the help from his family. Maybe I'll be held back by my family. ”The queen asked, ”how can you be held back?”
Fang Shaojian chuckled and said, ”Mr. Gu, now this wife is my concubine, who is said to dislike Gu Jiu very much. Don't you remember, Xie Mao, the official of the East Palace, is the eldest brother-in-law of Lord Gu. ”
The empress suddenly realized and finally remembered.
”I've been so stupid and slow lately that I forgot about it.”
”You should take good care of yourself.”
The empress waved her hand, ”we don't have a few days left in this palace. Early death and late death are all deaths. We only want to arrange things properly before death.”
After a pause, she said, ”Xie Mao is still useful.”
”Yes. Xie Mao can't do anything else, but he's a good hand at taking a side door. ”
The empress sneered and said, ”when the limelight is over, tell the crown prince to let Xie maoguan return to his original position and create trouble for his family. Liu Zhao wants to marry Gu Jiu, and this palace will help him. At that time, he was held back by his family, and it was his own fault. ”
”Your mother is wise!”
