The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Shi Anxia had plans for Feng Shiyu.

It was true that she admired Feng Shiyu's kung fu, but more importantly, she wanted her to have something to do and stay away from the sad place of Beijing. Otherwise, she would always be in such pain.

She could still live on hatred before; once the Empress Dowager died, she would feel that life had no purpose, her energy and spirit would dissipate, and she would be gone.

To put it bluntly, Shi Anxia had to find her a job. If she felt needed, she could live a good life.

Shi Anxia said, "There is a student named Gu in our academy. He passed the imperial examination and won the title of third place in the imperial examination. He was sent by the emperor to Mozhou to serve as the prefect. He will stay there for at least five years. I thought that he is just a scholar and might encounter unexpected events there. It would be best if he had someone trustworthy and skilled to protect him. I wonder if grandma is willing to go to Mozhou with him?"

Feng Shiyu did not hesitate at all, "I'll go!" She clenched her fist and said proudly, "I don't even care about ordinary people. Don't worry, Xia'er, I will protect the third place winner!"

Apart from anything else, anyone who could escape death from the Queen Mother's Jingwei must have great kung fu skills.

Shi Anxia smiled and called out to the door, "Mr. Gu, come in."

Gu Boyan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Now, looking at Shi Anxia, ​​he had a new sense of mystery.

He felt that the reason why Miss Shi was different from ordinary people was that she must have some unknown abilities.

He is now completely convinced.

He would be grateful for the story of "Gu Ersha", whether she deduced it or she had the foresight to see through the direction of his life.

Now Shi Anxia has thought so carefully for him and found someone with great martial arts skills to protect him.

His uneasy heart finally settled down. He was a very timid person.

Originally, in the past few days, many wealthy and small families who came to Gu Boyan to discuss marriage had lined up, but as soon as the order came down, they all dispersed.

Which good person would be willing to marry his daughter to a prefect of Mozhou and let her suffer?

Isn't this fatal?

Gu Boyan didn't care. He wasn't thinking about marriage, so it was peaceful.

He took Feng Shiyu with him and prepared to take up his post.

Before leaving, Gu Boyan used the generous reward he received as the top scholar to buy two jade carvings of wild geese and gave them to the two couples as wedding gifts, wishing them a love stronger than gold.

Later he wrote another letter back to his hometown, to his greedy mother, saying that although he had won the third place in the imperial examination, he was transferred to Mozhou and he didn't know when he would be able to see his mother again.

If I really miss my son, I can come to Mozhou to visit him. If you want to stay, you can stay. If you don't want to stay, you can go back to your hometown.

Then he asked his brothers and sisters if they wanted to settle down in Mozhou. Although it was a little poor, hard, and scary here, it was rare for the family to be together in harmony. They were not afraid of being poor and hard, because the worst that could happen was death.

After his mother and others read the letter, they spat several times, stamped their feet in anger, and cursed the court for being blind and the emperor for being stupid for letting a top scholar go to a place like Mozhou.

Gu Boyan's brothers and sisters were also very angry. They felt that even if they went to Mozhou, not only would they not be able to take advantage of Gu Boyan, but they would probably have to pay money and even risk their lives.

How could that be? They all followed my mother and jumped up and down, scolding Gu Bainian for having studied for nothing and getting a third place in the imperial examination for nothing.

Because these words were uttered by Tanhua's mother and brothers and sisters, they immediately caused a wave of criticism in the local area that could not be concealed.

When the county magistrate heard this, he cursed the imperial court and the emperor! How could this be tolerated!

If these words were to reach the capital and reach the ears of the emperor, it would not only affect his promotion, but he would also lose his official hat.

The county magistrate quickly sent his men to arrest people. He brought all the people from Gu Bainian's family back to the yamen for the crime of insulting the imperial court and gave each of them twenty lashes of the cane to serve as a warning to others.

This was only because of the honor of the third place winner, so he was beaten with twenty boards. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the county magistrate would have beaten the man to death to count.

Hey! There are always people who want to take down my official hat! I will never let them do that!

After being beaten with twenty sticks, Gu Boyan's mother could not bear it. After being carried home, she could not get out of bed again.

Paralyzed!

Once she became paralyzed, she could no longer work as a matchmaker or do any deceptive things, and she cursed all day long.

As the saying goes, there will be no filial son by the bedside of a patient who has been ill for a long time. Moreover, the old woman can't make money, has a bad temper, and costs money for medicine. Her children don't want to take care of her at all.

The eldest pushed the third, the third pushed the fourth, the fourth pushed the elder sister, the elder sister pushed the younger sister, and no one wanted to take care of the old woman.

The children, who used to love to gather together and hang around their mother, now scattered and never interacted with each other again.

Only Gu Boyan would occasionally ask someone to bring back some silver to fulfill his filial duty. The old woman held on to the hard-earned silver, lived frugally, and never made any money again.

These are all later stories, so we won’t discuss them for now.

Back in the capital, because the Marquis's Mansion is still in mourning, the marriage can only be held in a low-key manner.

According to the marriage rules of Beiyi, the bride must send the dowry to the groom's family two days before the wedding.

The Wei family was worried about the dowry.

Because her daughter was marrying up, Mrs. Wei was afraid that a dowry that was too shabby would bring shame to her daughter, and worried that her daughter would not live well, so she tried her best to prepare a generous dowry for her daughter.

Tang Chujun had prepared a lot of betrothal gifts for his son earlier, a total of 108 loads, which contained all kinds of good things.

Although the Shi family gave such a generous betrothal gift, the Wei family did not keep a single thing and prepared to take it all back to the Shi family as their daughter's dowry intact.

But the problem is that the dowry is too much.

The dowry alone was over 148 pieces. The main reason for this was that the Shi family had too much betrothal gifts.

The dowry prepared by the Wei family was very substantial, all of it solid: beds, boxes, buckets, stools, and boxes.

Just take the step-out bed as an example. It was made by Wei Cailing’s grandfather.

And those top-grade An porcelains were the latest and best craftsmanship of her grandfather. The Wei family had prepared all the pots, pans, and bowls.

Wei Zhongshi looked at the dowry of his eldest daughter that filled the courtyard and the house and shook his head, "No, no, it's too much! It's okay on normal days, but now is the hottest mourning period for Qi'er. It will take hundreds of people to carry so much dowry around half the city. Isn't that asking for trouble for Qi'er?"

Mrs. Wei said, "I have already chosen and chosen again. Look, I have taken back all those barrels, but there are still so many."

Wei Zhongshi stroked his forehead and said, "You are so honest. If you really need these pots, pans, buckets, stools and boxes, why don't you send them to them after you get married?"

When Mrs. Wei heard this, her eyebrows raised, "How can that be possible! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! How can a dowry be taken away piecemeal after the wedding? That's so unlucky!"

Wei Zhongshi was scolded by his wife, so he didn't dare to come up with any bad ideas. "Then I don't care, but you should not make such a big fuss! I am a small official marrying off my daughter, and the dowry is comparable to that of a royal family marrying off their daughter. Is this appropriate?"

"Isn't it because your in-laws gave a lot of betrothal gifts? Your son-in-law's mother is very generous and wants to give her son everything. Isn't that the case? Let me count for you. Among the 148 loads, 108 of them are betrothal gifts from the Shi family. I squeezed and squeezed, pressed and pressed, collected and collected, and reduced and reduced..."

Wei Cailing's gentle voice came closer and closer, "Mother, please leave half of the Shi family's betrothal gift to Pingting. Why would I need so much?"

"No!" Wei Zhongshi and his wife said in unison, this time in unison.

Wei Zhongshi said, "We will prepare Pingting's dowry, so you don't have to worry about it. This is given to you by the Shi family, you can take it all."
