Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House
Chapter 157: One more dowry, no way
Xie's face calmly asked Gu Yue, How much have you eavesdropped on?
Gu Yue whispered, I just overheard a little.
Really? So you already know about the dowry.
Gu Yue nodded cautiously.
Mr. Xie picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked calmly, What do you think?
Daughter, daughter...
Gu Yue was hesitant, but never spoke his true thoughts.
Mr. Xie put down the teacup and said, I want to hear the truth.
Gu Yue suddenly raised her head and said, Mother, my daughter is not convinced.
Xie Shi sneered, What can you do if you are not convinced? It is up to your father to decide this, and you have heard it. I have tried my best, but I still cannot change your father's decision.
Why is my father so partial? I give Gu Jiu everything that is good. I don't accept it. I am also a direct descendant. I am inferior to Gu Jiu. Why does she have a dowry of 40,000 taels and I only have a dowry of 20,000 taels. My daughter refuses to accept it. !
Gu Yue cried out, crying so sadly. It's like being aggrieved by the sky.
Who asked you to marry the emperor's grandson. If you marry the emperor's grandson, you can also have a dowry of 40,000 taels. No, it can even be more than 40,000 taels.
Xie didn't feel distressed, but stimulated Gu Yue. Of course, she was telling the truth.
Gu Yue cried louder and louder, Mother, my daughter is wrong.
She knelt down and threw herself at Xie's feet, crying and saying she was wrong.
Mrs. Xie stroked the top of her head, It's too late to realize the mistake. But it's also good for you to marry into the Haixibo mansion. I heard that Haixibo is one of the few courtiers in front of Your Majesty who can talk to him. It might be a way out for the government to gain a firm foothold and then affect Haixibo's position.
Gu Yue's eyes widened, Daughter doesn't understand what mother means.
Are you dumb?
Xie shi looked at Gu Yue with disgust.
Gu Yue was wronged.
Mr. Xie signaled to Chunhe.
Chunhe understood, went to the door to guard,
Prevent someone from eavesdropping.
Xie shi stared at Gu Yue, lowered her voice and said, Gu Jiu married the emperor's grandson, do you know what the identity of the emperor's grandson means?
Gu Yue said uncertainly, Prosperity and wealth?
Xie sneered, Not only is it rich and rich, but it also means that you may become a prisoner at any time.
Gu Yue opened her mouth wide, but made no sound.
Xie shi stretched out his hand and caressed Gu Yue's cheek, After Your Majesty ascends the throne, how many of His Majesty's brothers are left?
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, or another prince ascends the throne, do you think Prince Ning's Mansion will still have the scenery it is today? What kind of son-in-law, can you still be his son-in-law?
Gu Jiu married Gong Zizhao, as the saying goes, marrying a chicken follows a chicken, marrying a dog follows a dog, if the life of the son Zhao is not guaranteed, can Gu Jiu still live?
Gu Yue heard the words, and a light that could burn people burst out in her eyes.
Her eyes were bright, Mother, do you mean to let Haixibo support His Highness the Crown Prince or other princes, just don't support Prince Ning's mansion?
You're not stupid. Xie Shi smiled.
Gu Yue also laughed, Mother is wise, this method is too good. As long as Ning's mansion collapses, even if Gu Jiu has great ability, he will never be able to turn over.
That's the reason. The palace is not comparable to the family of officials and eunuchs. If an official commits a crime, as long as he doesn't die, there is a possibility of turning over. However, if the palace is jealous of the new emperor, it will usually end miserably.
Gu Yue nodded frequently, Thank you mother for teaching me, my daughter understands.
Xie shi looked at Gu Yue with a half-smile but did not forget to hit her, Have you ever thought about how to gain a firm foothold after marrying into Haixibo's mansion, so as to influence Haixibo's decision?
daughter……
Gu Yue was stunned, Daughter didn't think about it carefully, please ask my mother to teach me.
Mrs Xie smiled softly, Silly boy, of course, Zhao Erlang has to come forward for this kind of thing. You are a daughter-in-law, how can you talk to your father-in-law. As long as you can convince Zhao Erlang, Zhao Erlang and Haixibo will talk about this matter. grasp.
Hearing Xie's mentioning Zhao Erlang, Gu Yue lowered his head and smiled shyly.
Even the voice involuntarily became very light and soft.
Erlang, he... I haven't seen you for a long time, and my daughter doesn't know what he's thinking.
Xie snorted coldly, What are you in a hurry. You and him are already engaged. As long as there is no accident, you can wait to get married. After you get married, see him every day to see if you are tired of it.
Gu Yue shook her head again and again and said shyly, My daughter won't get tired of it.
Xie Shi sneered, looking at Gu Yue's appearance, she was extremely dissatisfied.
For the sake of a Zhao Erlang, he had to live and die countless times, and this daughter really disappointed her.
Xie suddenly lost his mind and didn't want to talk to Gu Yue.
She said to Gu Yue, If you have nothing else to do, just step back. What I said, you should think about it carefully after you go back.
Gu Yue didn't want to leave, she looked at Xie stubbornly, Mother, daughter's dowry, daughter wants more dowry.
Xie's face was stern, I'll prepare 20,000 taels of dowry for you, don't you think it's not enough?
But Gu Jiu has a dowry of 40,000 taels. Gu Yue said aggrievedly.
Xie scolded, Don't compare with Gu Jiu, she is married to the emperor's grandson, or the eldest son of the palace.
But……
Gu Yue looked at Xie Shi, Didn't my father promise to pay 5,000 taels of silver? Could my mother add the 5,000 taels, so that my daughter will have a dowry of 25,000 taels.
Mrs Xie sat up straight and stared at Gu Yue, Yue'er, I'll say it again for the last time. Your dowry is only 20,000 taels, and you don't have a single child. As for the 5,000 taels your father took out, I will say it again. It will be added to your dowry, so you can save five thousand taels from the account, understand?
Gu Yue was aggrieved, and her eyes were full of tears.
Why does a mother treat her daughter like this?
Xie snorted coldly, You have to ask yourself, how did this marriage come about? Also, Zhao Erlang is not the eldest son. If you have the ability to marry the eldest son of Haixi Bo, your mother will definitely give it to you. Prepare a dowry of no less than 30,000 taels.
Gu Yue burst into tears, Mother, mother...
She kept calling for her mother, but Xie was unmoved.
Xie's heart was extremely cold at this moment.
She looked at Gu Yue indifferently and said nothing.
Gu Yue got no response, and gradually stopped crying.
She sobbed and looked at Xie Shi, Mother is so cruel.
Xie Shi frowned and said angrily, If I was really cruel, you would not cry in front of me now, but be accompanied by the ancient Buddha in the nunnery. Think about it for yourself.
Gu Yue was stunned for a moment. Did the mother really think about sending her to the nunnery for reflection in the past?
Gu Yue wanted to cry when she thought that Xie Shi had been so cruel, but she didn't dare to cry.
She looked pitiful and looked a little weak.
Xie shi closed her eyes in disappointment and made it clear that she didn't want to see Gu Yue.
Gu Yue sobbed twice, but without getting a response from Xie's, she knew that today's conversation was over.
She stood up and bowed slightly, Mother, my daughter retire first.
Xie shi didn't move, still closed his eyes and rested.
Gu Yue bit her lip, feeling a little resentful in her heart. Then turned away.
Chun He walked in quietly, packed up the teacup, and poured another cup of tea for Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. drink some hot tea.
Xie opened his eyes, Go?
Chun He nodded, The three girls have already left. The slave girl looked very sad when she saw her red eyes.
Xie snorted coldly and smiled sarcastically, She is sad? What was she doing when I was sad?
My wife still needs to relax, the three girls slowly begin to understand.
Xie Shi sneered and shook her head, I'm afraid she won't be truly sensible until she gets married to the Haixi Bo Mansion and is sparred by others for a period of time. Only then will she know who is really good to her in this world.
Of course it's the wife who treats her the best. Over the years, the slaves have seen that the wife loves the third girl as her eyeball. It's a pity that the third girl hasn't realized this yet.
Xie sneered at himself, Forget it, don't talk about it. Go and take out Yue'er's dowry list, and I'll see if there is anything that needs to be added.
...
On the fifth day of the new year, the Hou Mansion invited relatives and friends to celebrate the New Year together.
Early in the morning, the people from the Gu Mansion all set out, took a carriage, walked through the main entrance, and headed to the Hou Mansion.
The carriage stopped at the second gate, Gu Jiu got off the carriage, and saw Gu Mei.
With a smile on her face, Sister Mei.
Sister Xiaojiu, come quickly. The old lady misses you. As soon as I heard that you were accused of marrying to the young master, the old lady didn't rest all night.
Lady Tii is worrying about me, because I'm not filial. By the way, is the marriage between Sister Qi and Sister Ying settled?
Gu Mei nodded, It's been decided, and I'll be hired after the first month of the month.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, Then I have to congratulate Sister Qi and Sister Ying later.
Gu Mei looked at Gu Jiu worriedly and hesitated.
Gu Jiu pretended not to see it, talking and laughing freely.
Everyone came to the Songbaiyuan to greet the old lady Wei.
Okay, okay, this year's New Year, everyone is finally here. Unlike in previous years, your second room is always absent, and it looks a lot deserted.
Xie said with a smile: In the future, we will be a two-bedroom family, and we will come to harass the old lady every year. Don't think we are noisy.
The old lady Wei Shi laughed loudly, Don't worry, the old man likes liveliness the most. He just likes watching the whole family get together. All sit down, don't stand. Xiaojiu, come to the old man and let the old man take a look.
The others took their seats one by one, and Gu Jiu stepped forward and came to the old lady Wei Shi.
The old lady Wei Shi took her hand and looked at Gu Jiu carefully, I've wronged you.
Gu Jiu shook his head slightly, Grandniece is not wronged.
The old lady Wei Shi sighed, You one, and Miss Wei San, the two of you didn't know how lucky you were, and you were both given marriages to the emperor's grandson.
The East Palace chose Wei San girl, that is, the third girl of the old lady's family, the third girl of the Zhuguo Gongfu.
By the time the Duke of Zhuguo's manor heard the news, it was too late, and there was no way to change His Majesty's decision.
Coupled with the fact that there was an empress staring at the back, Duke Zhu's mansion was very helpless, and finally he could only pinching his nose to recognize the marriage.
For this reason, the officials of the Eastern Palace were really happy.
Zhu Guogong also held military power, and the difference from Luhou's mansion was that the soldiers in Zhu Guogong's hands were permanently stationed in the north. The north is peaceful, and wars are rarely fought. The combat power is definitely not as good as Luhou's side.
However, once the northern side also fought, maybe the soldiers in the hands of Duke Zhu Guogong would be controlled by the Marquis of Lu.
In this way, the Marquis of Lu was immediately above the Duke of Zhu.
Once the Marquis of Lu began to control the troops in the north, he would have an army of nearly 300,000 in his hands.
Such a right is really scary.
Therefore, every day in the court, there is a memorial to impeach Luhou.
The civil servants jumped up every three days, saying that the Marquis of Lu was greedy and perverted the law, wasted on human life, and drank the blood of soldiers.
Bewitching the emperor every day, guarding against the Marquis of Lu. It was almost a matter of saying that the Marquis of Lu would be arrested and slashed with a thousand knives, and it would not be a pity to die.
The Son of Heaven has tremendous trust in those who trust him. As long as he doesn't do anything that threatens the imperial power, even if he offends the whole world, the emperor will trust him and entrust him with a heavy responsibility.
For people who are not pleasing to the eye, even if the other party is very precious, the emperor will not believe a word.
The Marquis of Lu was recognized as the most worthy of an official, and the most able to please the emperor.
He has been in the northwest all the year round, but he still has the trust of the emperor. Every time he returned to Beijing to report his work, the emperor would give Luhou a lot of rewards.
The emperor also took good care of Luhou's family in the capital.
This is why, the East Palace and the major palaces are all trying their best to win over the Marquis of Lu.
As long as it can get the support of Luhou, it means that he is only one step away from the throne.
However, Luhou, this bastard, took the money and didn't do anything. In private, he scolded Luhou over and over again.
As the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Lu, Pei Yun's marriage naturally attracted the attention of the whole capital from top to bottom.
Just yesterday, Pei Yun's marriage was decided.
The Son of Heaven personally conferred the marriage, and the man who betrothed Pei Yun was the eldest son of Duke Zhu's mansion and the elder brother of Miss Wei San.
This is also the reason why Donggong is so happy.
The son of the East Palace married Wei San, and Pei Yun would marry into the Wei family.
In this way, the East Palace and the Luhou Mansion are not connected.
To this end, Donggong had a whole night of self-indulgence.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The East Palace was elated, and the Wei family of the Duke of Zhu's government was half happy and half worried.
Even the old lady Wei Shi also sighed, feeling complicated.
The servants came to report, saying that the Wei family members of the Zhuguo Gongfu were here.
The old lady Wei hurriedly said, Quickly invite someone in.
Mrs. Zhuguo came in with the children.
As soon as Miss Wei San saw the old lady Wei Shi, she threw herself into the old lady's arms and burst into tears.
Auntie, I'm so sad. Miss Wei San cried bitterly.
Mrs. Zhu Guogong coughed twice, reminding Miss Wei San to pay attention to the occasion and measure. It is customary to cry and cry at relatives' homes during the New Year's Eve.
The old lady, Mrs. Wei, waved to Mrs. Zhuguo, The child is wronged, so let her cry.
Mrs. Zhu Guogong sighed, My aunt loves her, so why don't we love her. But the imperial decree has been issued, and this matter cannot be changed.
Miss Wei San raised her head and shouted, My daughter doesn't want to marry in the East Palace. I've seen the second son of the East Palace, he's an idiot.
Bullshit. Do you think you can talk nonsense in front of your great-aunt? Where did you learn the rules?
Mrs. Zhu Guogong softly reprimanded Miss Wei San.
Wei San girl was so wronged that she cried again.
The old lady Wei hugged Miss Wei San in her arms and patted her on the back gently, Okay, okay, I know you're wronged.
It's still my aunt who loves me the most.
The old lady Wei Shi laughed, You, you love to cry. You don't see Xiao Jiu crying. Like you, she was also accused of marrying her grandson.
Wei San girl looked at Gu Jiu curiously.
Gu Jiu nodded slightly, Happy New Year, Third Sister Wei.
Miss Wei San wiped away her tears, Sister Xiaojiu, I have heard all about you. You were accused of marrying you to Gongzi Zhao, what should you do?
Mrs. Zhu Guogong coughed again and again, reminding Miss Wei San to be careful when speaking.
Wei San girl lowered her head and bit her lip. She knew that she was going too far and shouldn't cry at relatives' house and spoil other people's spirits. It's just that she was really sad.
Gu Jiu said to her: Sister Wei, don't cry, the imperial decree has been issued, we might as well think about what to do in the future.
Miss Wei San nodded, Thank you, sister Xiaojiu.
Miss Wei San stopped crying, and Mrs. Zhu Guogong scolded softly, Don't get up from the old lady quickly. The old lady is so old, how can you stand up to such a fuss.
Miss Wei San hurriedly stood up, Auntie, grandniece let you see a joke.
The old lady Wei said, Why are you being so polite with your aunt? I know that you are wronged in your heart, so just cry.
Miss Wei San nodded, I listen to my aunt.
The old lady Wei told Gu Jiu again, Xiao Jiu, there is a chance to get close to your third sister Wei. It will be difficult for you to get close again in the future.
For a while, no one in the hall spoke.
Everyone thought that Wei San was married to the East Palace, and Gu Jiu was married to the Ning Palace.
The East Palace Tongning Palace will definitely not deal with it very much.
In the future, Miss Wei San and Gu Jiu will become rivals, enemies?
Everyone's eyes looked at the two people, and their hearts were also mixed.
This shitty finger marriage was thanks to the Queen Mother who came up with this trick.
