Guo Song and his senior brother Li Ganfeng hurried to the Qingxu Palace, where two eunuchs were sitting in the guest hall of the Qingxu Palace, drinking tea and waiting, each of them had already taken ten taels of silver for tea, and had enough patience to wait for Guo Song to come back.

In the lobby in front of them, dozens of cages were piled up like hills.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Guo Song walked in quickly, "Under Guo Song, let the two waiters wait for a long time." ”

The two eunuchs stood up with a smile, and the tall and fat eunuch said: "We are all saints who carry the inner servants on the left and right, my name is Dou Wenchang, this is my colleague Huo Xianming, I have heard the name of Guo Yuanjun for a long time." ”

"You two want to make a decree?"

Dou Wenchang, the leader, shook his head, "Actually, there is no big deal, it is that the Holy Lord rewarded Guo Envoy Jun with a batch of property, please sign for it!" ”

Guo Song took the pen and signed his name on two gift lists, one for the other party to take back, and one for himself to keep.

Guo Song took out two more ingots of gold and handed them to the two, "This is a little heart, give tea to the two of you!" ”

Although they had already taken the tea money, they didn't mind taking an extra portion, not to mention that the other party handed over the gold, Huang Chengcheng's ten taels of gold, where could they refuse?

The two accepted the gold, Huo Xianming smiled and said: "It's not a secret, these are the collections left by the first emperor, most of them have been rewarded to the ministers, this is the last batch, the saint said, congratulations to Guo Yuanjun on his upcoming marriage, this is his congratulatory gift." ”

"I see, thanks to the two chamberlains."

The two eunuchs arched their hands, got up and said goodbye and returned to the palace to resume their lives.

At this time, Li Ganfeng walked in and said in surprise: "What is this gift, so much?" ”

"I don't know!"

Guo Song opened a large long box and was stunned, there were several white jade screens inside, the pattern on the screen was a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, quite familiar, Guo Song immediately remembered, this is the screen in the imperial study of the first emperor, no wonder he didn't see it in Li Shi's study yesterday, it was originally put away, and it was rewarded to himself.

"That's good stuff!"

Li Ganfeng gently stroked the screen and said: "This white jade is very delicate, the carving skills are very sufficient, and there are shelves, it turns out to be rosewood, these screens are estimated to be worth tens of thousands of yuan!" “

Guo Song found two other long boxes, both of which were screens, a total of six, all of which were there.

Li Ganfeng opened a box again, inside was a set of official kiln celadon tea sets, crystal clear, verdant, at a glance it is a collection, never used, Li Ganfeng looked envious, this is a good thing that money can't buy.

"Senior brother, take it if you like, there are two more sets here!"

Li Ganfeng was overjoyed, "Then I'm welcome!" "This kind of opportunity, when encountered, you can't let it go.

Guo Song found two sets of celadon official kiln tea sets, which were exactly the same as Li Ganfeng's, one set he kept for himself, and the other set could be given to Xue Xun, as for Zhang Lei, see if there were anything else.

Guo Song opened a cage again, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, there was a set of gold jewelry inside, to be precise, it was a set of jewelry for the bride, a gemstone gold phoenix crown, a green feather hairpin, a colorful gemstone necklace, a ring inlaid with diamonds, and a white jade inlaid gold bracelet, all of which were available, except for only one phoenix crown, the rest were a pair.

But the protagonist is undoubtedly the jeweled golden phoenix crown, with a golden phoenix on the front, its long wings hanging down like tassels, and the top is decorated with gems and jade, shining golden and dazzling.

Senior brother Li Ganfeng is well-informed, and he said solemnly: "Old Five, this kind of phoenix crown is not something that ordinary people can wear, at least it can only be worn by the county lord or above." ”

Guo Song said with a smile: "It shouldn't be a big problem, it was given to me by the Son of Heaven, which means that he allowed me to use it, and then there will be a financial gift." ”

"Senior brother, don't open these cages! I will let the apprentices carry them to the underground palace for a while, and then send them over when your house is cleaned up. ”

Guo Song nodded, "Trouble Senior Brother to arrange another disciple to send me a set of celadon tea sets." ”

Li Ganfeng smiled slightly: "Don't worry! I'll let the breeze deliver it later. ”

.........

When Xue Xun returned to the house, it was almost dark, he drank a few glasses of wine, looking very excited, as soon as he entered the door, his wife Han came up and complained: "I know you went to drink again?" ”

Xue Xun smiled, "Today is Yan Xiangguo's special invitation to drink for me, I have face!" You know how many people envy me. ”

Han was surprised and delighted, "Why did Yan Xiangguo invite you specifically, did he want to promote you?" ”

"Where did you think of it? I have just been promoted for less than a month, how can I be promoted again, let me tell you, Yan Xiangguo is a matchmaker, come to be a matchmaker for our daughter, the man is Guo Gongzi, I didn't expect it! actually invited Yan Xiangguo out to be a matchmaker. ”

Han hesitated, "You agreed?" ”

Xue Xun's eyes widened, "Of course I agreed, do you want to change your hexagram again?" ”

"I didn't change my mind, but I just thought he should come to the door to ask for a kiss, at least I should be there!"

Xue Xun waved his hand, "Forget it, the family is Xiangguo, and he is in charge of the ministry, and the court affairs are busy, how can I have time to come to our house, and it is the same to go to the restaurant, I just promise." ”

Han Shi was really a little unhappy, she stretched her face and said: "It's okay to be a matchmaker, but I must be present if I ask for a kiss, I have something to say, something to ask?" ”

"It's just your business!"

Xue Xun muttered, turned around and went to his study, and Han chased after him, "I'm going to die of worry, what do you say about Tao'er's dowry?" ”

Xue Xun stopped and said: "Tao'er herself has a collection of 5,000 books, I will give her another 5,000 volumes, and make up 10,000 volumes, isn't this her dowry?" ”

"You're serious!"

Han Shi said angrily: "I have never heard of using books as a dowry, even if my father, an old pedant, gave me a hundred acres of land as a dowry." ”

"Didn't you pay back that little dowry later?" Xue Xun smiled slightly sarcastically.

"You're talking cool now, don't let me borrow money from my parents if you have the ability."

"That's it! All right! Don't mention the past, Tao'er's dowry I will think of a way, this month, I may have an income of 30 yuan, that is, I go to Bashu, there is a staff subsidy of 6 yuan every month, I went for five months, exactly 30 yuan, this month will be sent down with Yulu. ”

"Where is the money for thirty yuan!"

Han Shi said angrily: "How expensive the land in Guanzhong is, you can only buy three or five acres of land for thirty yuan, and the dowry for your daughter, I think it will cost at least a thousand yuan!" ”

Xue Xun was taken aback, "A thousand yuan, I can't get it out if I kill it." ”

"What then? I was so wronged by my own children. Han was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Xue Xun sighed, he was also a little helpless.

At this time, Xue Tao came over and whispered: "Don't worry about the dowry." ”

"How can we not worry, if you marry without a dowry, your husband's family will look down on you in the future."

"Mother, I have 5,000 yuan there, you are really worried, just use it!"

Xue Xun and Han looked at each other, and Han asked anxiously, "Where did you get the five thousand guan money?" ”

Xue Tao stumbled: "Before we go to Chengdu...... Guo Gongzi gave it to me, I want to pay him back, he said.... Said it could be my dowry. ”

Han slapped his face excitedly, "Why didn't you say it earlier, I've been worried about it for the past few days." ”

"Mother, but I think it's a little inappropriate!"

"What's wrong, don't be so thin-skinned, you will use the money when you give it, like that gem has commemorative significance, my mother will not force you to sell it, but this is just money, it is used to spend, are you just for a little face, a little self-esteem, you have to force your father and mother to death?"

Han's eloquence was excellent, and Xue Tao was speechless for a while, and she turned to her father again, "Daddy, what do you say?" ”

"It's up to your mother."

Xue Xun was poor and short-sighted, and quickly walked into the study.

Xue Tao had no choice but to say to his mother: "I'll give you the money." ”

"That's right, with money, my mother can prepare a dowry for you, your clothes, jewelry, and buy good fat powder, and invite my mother, marrying my daughter costs a lot of money, not counting your dowry, just all kinds of decent marriage ceremonies, it will cost five or six hundred yuan, I don't want you to marry like my mother."

After saying that, she glanced at the study again.

At this time, Xue Xun shouted in surprise from the study, "Who sent this tea set?" ”

Han Shi remembered the tea set, and hurriedly walked to the door of the study and said: "It was Guo Gongzi who asked a Taoist priest to send it, saying that it was a gift for you, I think it is an ordinary celadon." ”

"Ordinary celadon?"

Xue Xun's eyes widened, "You know that this set of tea sets can't be bought in the market at all, even Xiangguo may not have such a good celadon, this is an official kiln boutique, only for the palace, you take it out and sell it for 20,000 yuan, a lot of people rush to ask for it, I saw it once in the prince's study in the East Palace." ”

Han's mouth was closed for a long time, and the porcelain worth 20,000 guan was beyond her imagination.

Xue Xun fiddled with a tea cup, he couldn't put it down, and he was completely fascinated by it.

Xue Tao hadn't seen her father like an item so much for a long time, and Ai Lang was secretly happy to give her father such a good gift.
