Qingshu prepared eighteen dowry gifts, including gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, dried scallops, sea cucumbers, shark fins and other seafood, as well as three livestock tea fruit snacks and other things. Finally, there is a pair of big white geese that are jumping around and croaking.

The things were sent to the Gu family, and Mrs. Gu was very happy to see the dowry list: "Wanqi, this dowry adds up to no less than two thousand silver." ”

is an ordinary official eunuch marrying a wife, and this is the dowry. Judging from the dowry, Mrs. Fu still values Zhuang Wanqi very much.

Zhuang Wanqi was very happy to hear this, but she soon became worried again: "Auntie, our family can't afford so many dowries!" ”

Generally speaking, the amount of dowry given by the man is as much as the woman has to marry. Otherwise, the woman will be very faceless. But their family only runs a restaurant, and their annual income is not much to cover the family's expenses. And she has two younger brothers, and it is impossible to use the family funds to buy her a dowry.

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, your uncle has already said that he will take a thousand taels of silver from the palace to buy you a dowry, and my aunt will buy some more for you." Your father and mother have prepared some for you, and that's almost the number when you get together. ”

Zhuang Wanqi said gratefully, "Auntie, thank you. ”

Mrs. Gu patted her on the back lightly and said with a smile: "Thank you, it's all a family." ”

"Wanqi, your uncle is very optimistic about Master Fu, and you must have a good relationship with Mrs. Fu when you marry in the future. In this way, if there is anything in the future, Master Fu can also help. ”

Zhuang Wanqi also knew the reason why Gu Shixin wanted to marry the Fu family, she nodded and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely be good friends with Mrs. Fu." ”

Mrs. Gu hummed and said, "I also sent someone to inquire, your future father-in-law has a good temperament and is happy with everyone, that is, your future mother-in-law is very thrifty." However, the Duan family's family background has never been very good, and she is used to living a hard life, so she is picking. But she doesn't have a bad temperament, and she won't embarrass you if you serve carefully. ”

"Then, what about Duan Gongzi?"

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "This child is as clean and self-conscious as his brother, has a generous temperament, is filial to his parents, and gets along well with his colleagues. ”

"Is there anyone else in their family?"

Mrs. Gu nodded and said, "They still have a daughter, but they are married in Pingzhou." It's nothing, and they won't come to the capital. ”

Zhuang Wanqi knew it in her heart.

After saying the conversation, Zhuang Wanqi went back.

After coming over for a while, a mother-in-law said back and forth: "Madam, the second girl ran to Miss Cousin's courtyard and sneered at Miss Cousin. ”

Mrs. Gu asked with a look of disgust, "Mocking what?" ”

"said that the Duan family was poor, and only gave eighteen dowry gifts, and the gifts were all worthless things. said that the cousin tried her best to climb this family, but the man didn't take her seriously. ”

Mrs. Gu sneered and said, "The eighteenth dowry is still a poor family, I want to see how many dowry her future husband's family will make?" ”

In the capital, eighteen dowry gifts are really not small, and every dowry sent by the Fu family is full. I think that her eldest son-in-law's family was also a dowry of twenty-four.

After scolding twice, Mrs. Gu asked, "What about Wanqi?" You're not, are you? ”

She originally grounded Gu Sulan, but Gu Shixin lifted the ban within two days. has been released, Gu Sulan is restless and begins to stir up trouble again.

The mother-in-law said: "The cousin was not angry, and said that she was very content to get so many dowries. ”

"Wanqi, this kid is just too easy to talk to, and she is always bullied by her."

Mrs. Shen didn't believe that Zhuang Wanqi really didn't do anything: "That's all the cousin said? ”

The person nodded and said, "Yes, after saying two words, the cousin said that she was going to give Duan Gongzi clothes, shoes and socks, and the second girl left angrily." ”

Mrs. Shen smiled. The second girl wanted to marry Duan Gongzi, but Mrs. Fu and Duan Gongzi didn't like him. The cousin deliberately said these words, just to stimulate the second girl.

If Mrs. Shen wants to say that Gu Sulan is really stupid, what good is it for her to offend Mrs. Gu like this? The new year is eighteen years old, and the marriage has not yet been settled, and if you go down, you will become an old girl.

Over the years, Gu Sulan has relied on the new favor of the ancient world, and has never taken Mrs. Gu in her eyes. So that people who are good friends with the Gu family know that she has an arrogant temperament, and they don't want to marry such a toss person to go home. And Mrs. Gu didn't care about her marriage, so she delayed it until now.

There was a Zhuang Wanqi of the same age who was inconspicuous before, but now that Zhuang Wanqi's wedding date has been set, she will be lined out.

Gu Shixin was very anxious and urged Mrs. Gu many times, but Mrs. Gu was perfunctory and didn't care to help each other at all.

Qingshu didn't pay attention to the affairs of the Gu family, she liked Zhuang Wanqi because she felt that this girl was not shocked and could be the housewife of the family. And the marriage leave is handled by Master Duan and his wife, and she is not ready to interfere anymore.

On this day, Hou Jia, a female student in Kyoto, came to visit Qingshu and Brother Fu, and as soon as she hugged Brother Fu, she said: "Mountain Chief, Brother is sinking again." ”

Qingshu said with a smile: "This kid is very good at eating, he has to eat four meals a day and drink milk two or three times, so he grows up quickly." ”

Speaking of this, Qingshu looked at Hou Jia's thin body and said, "Goat milk is very nourishing, after you go back, tell your sister-in-law to let her get you some goat milk to drink." ”

Hou Jia hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's done, but I can't get used to the smell of goat's milk." But I eat cheese every morning and night, and I feel much better now than I used to be. ”

Grandma Shu originally wanted Female Doctor Huang to make medicinal diet for Hou Jia to regulate her body, but after Female Doctor Huang took Hou Jia's pulse, she said that she only needed to take food supplements without medical supplements.

"That's good."

Hou Jia hesitated and said to Qingshu: "Mountain Chief, I want to continue to practice martial arts." ”

"That's a good thing! What, is Shu Shangshu against it? ”

Hou Jia shook his head and said, "I haven't told my father yet, but I just talked to my sister-in-law about it." My sister-in-law said that this woman should be chaste and elegant, not suitable for martial arts. ”

Qing Shu smiled and said: "Many people think that women practice martial arts very rudely, which is a misunderstanding. Like me, I practice martial arts to strengthen my body, not to fight and kill. If you want to learn to talk to your dad directly, as long as he agrees. ”

Hou Jia hesitated: "So my sister-in-law is afraid that she will be unhappy, right?" ”

Qing Shu looked at her, smiled and said softly: "As long as your father spoils you, Grandma Shu will always like you." ”

Hou Jia didn't know if she still didn't know, the Shu family was all Shu Shangshu's final say. As long as Shu Shangshu dotes on Hou Jia, she can walk sideways in Shu's house. On the contrary, Shu Shangshu doesn't like it, and maybe everyone can bully her.

Hou Jia is a very smart child, and when he heard this, he understood: "Mountain Chief, I told my father at night, but I don't know if he will agree?" ”

"If your father doesn't agree, you say that practicing martial arts can strengthen your body. Your father loves you so much, and when he hears this, he will definitely agree. ”

The reason why Hou Jia's body is so weak is caused by Shu Long. If Hou Jia said this, he would definitely agree
