Lu Ru was startled and asked in a low voice: "He said it so many times, but Madam refused, why did she suddenly agree again?"

Gu Ruoyun's white fingers stroked the lines of the green-glazed lotus tea cup, and a sharp light shot out of his eyes.

"I used to think I could take over those four grain stores, so I didn't want to cooperate with Zhou Bu Ren. Now that I don't see the opportunity, I have to find another way."

"When the time comes that the Lins and their daughters will no longer have a profitable business, I wonder how they will still boss around at home. Since who has the final say in the Marquis Mansion who supports the family, I can only make some drastic changes."

Lu Ru hesitated, "Madam, if the Marquis finds out about you and Butler Zhou, it will be troublesome."

"Do you really want to cooperate with him? Why don't you serve the Marquis well? The future of the young master and the young lady will not be bad in the future."

Gu Ruoyun snorted and said, "Master Hou is just coaxing me with his words, but in fact he is not willing to spit out any good things."

"As for Zhou Buren, I can certainly control him."

-----------------

In the twelfth lunar month, Su Yihui and Xu Liangping's incident at Huguo Temple was gradually no longer mentioned. I heard that Mr. Xu Ge had locked up his grandson at home for a month and had just released him.

Seeing that this matter would not cause any waves, the Xu family came to the Su family in a low-key manner to pay the betrothal gift. After all, the two had already consummated their marriage, so the wedding should be held sooner rather than later.

One of the people who came to hire for the Xu family was Prince Duan, who was also an in-law of the Xu family, and the other was Lord Qiu, the Minister of Rites. No matter how much betrothal gifts the Xu family paid, just looking at the two people who paid the betrothal gave the Su family full face.

When Su Chengye heard that these two people were coming, he immediately beamed with joy.

The delivery of the betrothal gift was at the entrance of the main hall. Su Qingyu wanted to remind the stewards to carefully check the betrothal gift and store it in the warehouse, so she hurried over when she heard that the Xu family was coming to offer the betrothal gift.

The betrothal gifts entered the Su family's door, and the yard was filled with things.

Not far away, Su Yihui was wearing a bright red fire fox fur cloak, which was dazzling. Cheng Rujin beside her was like a delicate white flower in winter. The two held hands and walked towards Su Qingyu together.

"Third cousin, the Xu family's betrothal gift is too generous. It shows that the Xu family really values ​​you."

Since Cheng Rujin broke up with Su Qingyu, she no longer pretends to be so, and has been fighting fiercely with Su Yihui these days.

These words made Su Yihui smile so happily that her chin almost reached her forehead.

Inside the room, Prince Duan exchanged some polite words with Su Chengye and the old lady, then handed over the betrothal gift list and said: "Suhou, old lady, Mr. Xu Ge attaches great importance to this marriage. Miss Su family is blessed."

Su Chengye took the betrothal gift list and was about to read it when he heard the voice of a boy reporting the betrothal gift list from outside.

"The bride price is fifty thousand taels of silver."

"Two hundred catties of wedding cake."

"Three animals and six loads of seafood."

……

Su Chengye stood up suddenly, "The Xu family gave a bride price of 50,000 taels of silver?"

How is this possible? Back then, when the legitimate daughter of Prince Duan married the eldest grandson of the Xu family, she was given a bride price of 50,000 taels, which attracted the attention of the entire capital.

But the concubine daughter of the Su family and the legitimate daughter of Prince Duan are definitely incomparable, and the eldest grandson of the Xu family and the grandson of a concubine are even more incomparable.

Why did the Xu family give so much?

At this time, Prince Duan was also stunned. He remembered that the bride price on the betrothal gift list was five thousand taels. Why did it read fifty thousand taels? Could it be that I read it wrongly?

But this time the appointment was not only about reading out the list, but also required the Su family to count it before it could be recorded in the account. No one from the Su family raised any objections, which meant that it was really fifty thousand taels.

Could it be that the Xu family changed their mind, but forgot to change the betrothal gift list in his hand?

Prince Duan thought about it and found that this was the only reasonable reason, but he had thoughts about the Xu family. The Su family's concubine received the same betrothal gift as his daughter. Wasn't this an insult to Prince Duan's palace?

Su Yihui, who was in the yard at this time, had endless surprises on her face. She never expected that the Xu family would give such a luxurious betrothal gift.

Glancing at Su Qingyu who was giving instructions to her servants, Su Yihui walked over with what she thought was the most elegant step.

"It's really troublesome for my eldest sister. When I get married, my eldest sister will help me worry about the betrothal gift. I'm going to be an exhausted old woman."

"Hey, I heard that Prince Duan and Qiu Shangshu came in person this time. Sure enough, you still have to marry a living person to have such dignity."

Cheng Rujin, who was on the side, sneered: "The Shen family is going to hire people soon, right? There won't be a box of paper money by then, right?"

Cheng Rujin's words made Su Qingyu frown slightly and said calmly: "That's better than being a concubine and not having any shit."

Such vulgar words were not what a young lady from a wealthy family should say. After saying this, Su Qingyu only felt happy in her heart.

The maids and boys working around them lowered their heads and tightened their lips.

I don't know who burst out laughing, and then there was laughter again, but the silence soon returned.

Cheng Rujin's face turned red with anger, and he snorted and said, "I'll see if my cousin can still laugh when she accepts her betrothal gift."

"Now that Third Master Shen is gone, what valuable things will the Shen family give you? You are no longer of any value to the Shen family."

This is also how Cheng Rujin has always comforted herself. Even though she is Shen Zhao's concubine, she is still more glorious than Su Qingyu, the wife of a dead man.

Su Yihui looked at the dowry in storage and raised her chin slightly. Her arrogant look made her look more like a legitimate daughter than Su Qingyu, the legitimate daughter.

Then he pretended to be generous and said: "Sister, if you need help in the future, you can go to the Xu family to find me. I won't stand idly by."

Su Qingyu sneered, "Third sister, you are marrying the concubine of the Xu family, not Mr. Xu Ge."

Does she really think that useless Xu Liangping can do anything great? The Xu family is the Xu family, and the Xu family has a prominent family background, which does not mean that Xu Liangping can have any future.

Su Yihui was speechless by Su Qingyu and said seriously, "Are you just jealous? If you have the ability, why would you let the Shen family give you such a heavy betrothal gift?"

At this time, the servant who was reading the betrothal gift list had already shouted himself hoarse, and he had only read out a small part of the list.

Anyone who listens to the Xu family's betrothal gift must have paid attention to it, and everything is the best of the best. The case papers from Xuanqu, the agarwood from Guangfu, the cinnabar from Chenxi, and the amber from Dadian, Yunnan, none of them were easy to deal with.

Prince Duan in the room had a distorted expression on his face. None of the betrothal gifts matched the betrothal gift list. What did the Xu family mean?

Su Chengye supported the old lady and stood at the door of the main hall. The smile on his face never stopped when he looked at the bustling scene in the courtyard.

No matter what, it's a good thing that the Xu family values ​​Su Yihui.

Every betrothal gift must be registered and carried in after the steward of the Su family has seen it and found no problem.

Su Qingyu's eyes suddenly glanced at an exquisite nanmu box, inside which was a pair of Tian Qingyu's Five Blessings and Longevity. The most rare thing about this pair of jade ruyi is that when they are put together, you can see a little red in the center.

Su Qingyu narrowed her eyes slightly. She remembered seeing this pair of jade Ruyi at Mrs. Shen's house in her previous life. Why were they included in the Xu family's betrothal gift? She was certain that it was the one belonging to Mrs. Shen. After all, things with this appearance were rare and it was impossible to find the same one again.

"Wait a minute, bring over the pair of jade ruyi and let me take a look."

Hearing this, the boy holding the betrothal gift quickly came to Su Qingyu with the nanmu box.

Su Qingyu picked up the pair of jade Ruyi and looked at it carefully. She could confirm from the feel and details that they were indeed Mrs. Shen's.

But how come the Shen family's stuff is included in the Xu family's betrothal gift? In the previous life, this thing was always with Old Madam Shen. What went wrong?

While Su Qingyu was stunned, Su Yihui suddenly walked up behind her, and then bumped into Su Qingyu with her elbow.

"what."

Su Qingyu was caught off guard by the collision. She lost her balance and her body's center of gravity tilted forward. The jade ruyi in her hand flew out.
