Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Gu Jiu was listening to Xiao Cui's gossip about the quarrel between Mr. Gu and Mr. Xie.

Qingzhu entered the door and said, Girl, the master called you to the study in the outer courtyard.

Master sees me at this time, can you tell me why?

Qingzhu shook his head, I don't know the servant who sent the message, but I just told the girl to hurry over. It seems that the master has something important to order.

Gu Jiu said, I see, tell the servant who sent the message, and I'll be there in a while.

Qingmei worried, The master has just finished arguing with his wife, and he is about to see the girl. It won't be a problem, right?

Gu Jiu smiled and said, No matter what happens, you have to go.

She guessed in her heart that when Master Gu saw her at this time, it was probably related to the Xie family.

After arriving at the door of the study in the outer courtyard, after being notified, Gu Jiu entered the study.

The daughter has seen her father.

Sit down.

Gu Jiu obeyed and sat down on the chair.

She calmly looked at Master Gu, who had calmed down. There was no trace of anger on his face, but his expression was too serious, as if something serious had happened.

Master Gu coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, Listen to what your aunt said, you have learned very well about the stewardship.

My aunt is very praised. My daughter is just doing her best. Gu Jiu bowed slightly and said.

Master Gu nodded secretly, It's good to know how to do your best in everything.

After a pause, Master Gu took out a dowry list, This is your dowry list, you can take a look first, if you want to add anything, you can say.

Gu Jiu was surprised. She didn't expect that Master Gu would let her review her dowry list in advance.

Immediately afterwards, my heart rejoiced.

Thank you father.

Gu Jiu took the dowry list with both hands. From furniture to daily necessities, cloth and quilts, almost everything that a person needs in life can be found on the dowry list.

At the bottom of the list, Gu Jiu was most concerned about it. There were 5,000 taels of silver at the bottom of the box.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief,

Five thousand taels of silver can do a lot of things.

In addition to the dowry farm and shop, Gu Jiu can already foresee the life of a little rich woman after marriage.

After reading it, Gu Jiu put the dowry list back on the table, The hard-working father has worked hard for his daughter's marriage. All the necessary items are complete, and the daughter can't think of anything else to add.

Master Gu nodded, To be a parent is to help your children live a good life. What do you think about marrying the maid?

Gu Jiu thought about it and said, Daughter changed tomorrow to draw up a list and give it to father to review.

That's fine. The dowry will be your confidant in the future, and you need to nod and agree. In order to avoid discord between the master and the servant, people will take advantage of it.

Thank you father for your concern.

Um!

The next topic, Master Gu seems to be difficult to talk about, and has never spoken.

The housekeeper Gu Quan saw this, what he should do at this time, of course, is to share the worries for the master.

I don't know if the second girl knows that the eldest girl's wedding date is scheduled for July. The time is tight, and the dowry for the eldest girl has not been prepared in time. The master is worrying about this. The second girl is a good steward and has filial piety. This It's time to stand up and share the worries for the master.

Gu Jiu looked at the housekeeper Gu Quan with a surprised face, and asked her to come forward to prepare a dowry for Gu Zhen. Is there a mistake?

Master Gu really had a fantastic idea. After quarreling with Mrs. Xie, he even came up with this idea.

Gu Jiu said, The elders are all there, so there's no reason for me to prepare a dowry for the eldest sister. If I spread it out, I'm afraid people will talk about it.

It's okay!

Master Gu said simply: It is urgent to follow the right. The wife is busy preparing the dowry for the third girl, and Gu Quan is busy preparing the dowry for you. There is no time. Girl Zhen's wedding is recently, and the dowry has not yet been prepared. At this time, everything is The dowry is the priority. You don't need to care about the opinions of outsiders.

Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled. Looking back at the quarrel between the Lord and the Xie Shi, it seemed that the situation was three-point worse than the rumors.

Gu Jiu didn't know that Master Gu had beaten the Xie family.

If she knew, she would sing a cool song for Xie.

Xie was killing himself.

Without Gu Jiu's thought, she would kill herself.

Master Gu quarreled with Mrs Xie, and Gu Zhen's dowry was just a fuse.

The fundamental reason is that both of them have accumulated a lot of resentment and dissatisfaction with each other.

Just what Xie Mao has done has already made Master Gu hate everyone in the Xie family, including the Xie family.

The reason why he didn't turn against Xie Shi was because he didn't want to be seen as a joke, and he wanted to be ashamed.

The second is to stabilize the backyard to prevent a fire in the backyard, but also to alienate the relationship between the Xie family and the Xie family.

Therefore, at that time, Master Gu put up with Xie Shi.

The two got along as if nothing was wrong.

I have to say that Master Gu's patience once paralyzed Xie Shi.

Now that the Empress has passed away, the East Palace is getting worse, and the Crown Prince may be deposed at any time.

As an official of the Eastern Palace, Xie Mao could also be beheaded at any time.

For Mr. Gu, the situation was very good.

At this time, why should Master Gu endure Xie Shi any longer? Naturally, taking the opportunity, he must teach Xie Shi a lesson and vent his grievances accumulated over a long period of time.

However, Xie Shi decided that because of her old age, Master Gu hated her.

Of course, there are also reasons for this.

However, the reason why Master Gu really hates Xie's is because of Xie Mao.

Aging and fading is just the last straw that crushes Master Gu's reason. The dowry is the fuse for venting anger.

Gu Jiu asked softly, My father asked me to handle the dowry of the eldest sister, does my wife agree?

Master Gu said with a straight face, You don't need to pay attention to your wife's side.

Gu Jiu bowed her head, knowing it in her heart. It seems that Master Gu is deliberately trying to lose face of the Xie family.

I don't know how much the two quarreled.

Gu Jiu thought about it for a while, It's what a daughter should do to share her father's worries. I don't know how much dowry the father plans to prepare for the eldest sister? How much dowry is prepared by the Xu family.

Master Gu frowned, thought about it, and said, Prepare five for your big sister...

I wanted to say 5,000 taels of dowry, but when the words came to my lips, Master Gu suddenly changed his tune, Prepare 8,000 taels of dowry. I will make up 3,000 taels in private, plus the money from the public, and the rest will be taken from the book. As for the betrothal gifts from the Xu family, no matter how much they are, they will all be subsidized for your eldest sister as a dowry. There is no reason for a family like us to withhold the bride price gifts from the girl's family for household use.

Gu Jiu replied, The dowry doesn't count. Eight thousand taels of silver should be enough to buy a dowry for the eldest sister. It's just that time is tight, and there is no time to make new furniture. Father, daughter has an idea, I don't know if it should be said.

Master Gu nodded, Let's talk.

Gu Jiu said: The furniture in the eldest sister's room is not out of date, and they are all popular in recent years. It's better to hire a few painters to repaint the furniture, so that it can be used as a dowry in the Xu family. , you can leave a little more money for the big sister.

In addition, Zhuangzi and the shop, I think I should buy one separately. At any rate, the eldest sister can benefit from it every year in the future, and when spending money, it can be easier on hand. The rest of the items, satin cotton cloth are prepared a little more.

After doing the math, it should be possible to prepare a dowry of 60 sets for the eldest sister. The daughter has a little idea, I don't know what the father thinks?

Master Gu nodded secretly, You are very thoughtful. You go down first and draw up a dowry list according to the eight thousand taels. If there is no problem, you can follow the list.

Gu Jiu responded, Daughter obeys father.

After the business was finished, Gu Jiu prepared to leave.

At this time, the servant came in to report, saying that the sixth young master and his wife were here.

Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, Xie's speed was so fast, so he came to the door. He also brought Gu Zhen as a helper.

Gu Jiu secretly looked at Master Gu, and it seemed that there was another tough battle to be fought.

Master Gu frowned, What are they doing here?

The servant shook his head, I don't know.

With a straight face, Master Gu hummed from his nose, Let them in.

The little servant hurried out as if he had been granted amnesty.

Gu Jiu also took the opportunity to bid farewell.

However, Gu Jiu was still a step behind. Before she walked out of the study door, Mrs. Xie and Gu Chen came in.

As soon as Mr. Xie entered the door, he first glared at Gu Jiu. Fire spit in his eyes, looking like he was going to eat people.

Gu Jiu was not afraid of the Xie family, she looked at Gu Chen.

Gu Zhen's face was not very good-looking, and he seemed to be embarrassed. He shook his head slightly towards Gu Jiu, and told Gu Jiu to leave quickly, without having to participate in these disputes.

Gu Jiu nodded slightly, raised his feet and was about to leave.

Stop! Mr. Xie called out and stopped Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu looked back at Mr. Xie, and then at Master Gu.

This is a contest between the two of them, but she wants to see whether the west wind prevails over the east wind, or whether the east wind prevails over the west wind.

Master Gu said with a stern face, Xiaojiu, you can leave. I'll tell you what to do, and you should hurry up and do it well.

The daughter listens to the father.

Gu Jiu ignored Xie Shi and left the study neatly.

Xie's face turned pale with anger and was extremely angry.

Gu Chen coughed lightly, Mother!

It seemed to remind Xie Shi not to embarrass Gu Jiu.

Xie snorted and was also very dissatisfied with Gu Chen. Whether it was her own son, why did she always help Gu Jiu to speak.

What are you doing here? You're still pulling Rooku, do you think Rooku has too much time to study?

Master Gu was extremely dissatisfied with the Xie family.

Gu Jiu left the study, and the voices in the study gradually faded away.

Gu Jiu shook his head slightly, this family war would obviously end with Xie's failed compromise.

However, will Xie's obediently compromise and accept his fate?

Based on Gu Jiu's understanding of the Xie family, he definitely wouldn't.

Xie's will temporarily dormant, looking for opportunities and waiting for the opportunity.

However, Master Gu's understanding of the Xie family is still superficial.

He didn't know that when a woman started going crazy, the lethality was extremely amazing.

Look at it, one day, Master Gu will fall into Xie's hands and suffer a big loss. Only then will he know, don't underestimate the women in the house, especially the crazy women like Xie Shi.

It can be said that Xie Shi and Xie Mao are indeed brothers and sisters, and both have crazy genes.

Gu Jiu walked in the garden and pinched a flower.

Does she want to remind Master Gu?

Even if she reminds her, can Master Gu listen?

From the bottom of his heart, Master Gu looked down on the Xie family, and how could he regard the Xie family as a threat.

Gu Jiu smiled softly, Master Gu will one day pay the price for despising women.

Ah, this flower is so pretty.

Gu Jiu sighed with emotion.

She'd better keep silent, don't talk too much and be annoying.

There are some things that you won't believe if you haven't experienced it yourself.

She will be a quiet boudoir girl, watching the fight between the two.

Gu Jiu turned around and said to Xiao Cui, Go and invite the eldest sister to the Zhilan Courtyard. You tell her it's about her dowry.

Xiaocui bowed to answer and went to invite Gu Zhen.

Qingmei said: The girl arranged the dowry for the eldest girl. I don't know how many people will be stunned when the news spreads. The master is completely disrespecting the wife.

Gu Jiu smiled softly, Master and wife have already torn their faces, so how could they give face to the wife. Let's go back to the room, it's time for the big sister to come.

The garden is hot, so go back to Zhilan Courtyard to cool down, because there is an ice basin.

It was hot early this year, and Fuchu had prepared an ice basin early.

It would be even more perfect if I had another iced watermelon.

But no watermelon.

Gu Jiu said: There are two farms in my dowry. Next year, I will let people plant watermelons in the farms. When the weather is hot, there will be iced watermelons to eat.

The girl thinks so far, she has already thought about next year's events.

Gu Jiu laughed, Before, in the study in the outer courtyard, the master showed me my dowry list. There are a lot of good things, and the dowry purchased for 40,000 taels of silver is indeed very rich. I'm afraid there are 140 dowries.

Qingmei said: One hundred and forty sets, that's a lot. The slave girl heard that the third girl has one hundred and twenty dowries, but her dowry is half less than the girl's. It can be seen that each dowry is light and fluffy. , it's purely for face.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, It's a big matter of marriage, so you must save face. I don't know how much money my wife has prepared for the third sister.

If there is too little money in the press box, at the speed of Gu Yue spending money, I am afraid that he will go back to the house to fight the autumn wind before next year.

At that time, Mr. Xie gave it or gave it or gave it.

Girl, the eldest girl is here, along with Aunt Hu.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, Please come in.

Gu Zhen's eyes were red and swollen, obviously crying.

Aunt Hu also looked worried and nervous.

Big sister, Aunt Hu, please take a seat. Qingmei, serve tea.

Gu Zhen was in a hurry, and she asked as soon as she sat down, Second sister, you asked me to come over and said it was about my dowry. Please also explain in detail the second sister.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips, Big sister, don't worry, take a sip of tea first, and then let's get down to business.

Gu Zhen was in such a hurry, but fortunately Aunt Hu grabbed her and shook her head slightly.

Gu Zhen calmed down, drank tea, and her excitement finally subsided.

Can second sister speak now?

Gu Jiu thought for a while, To tell you the truth, I just came back from the study in the outer courtyard. My father ordered me to buy a dowry for the eldest sister.

Ah? This is Gu Zhen, with a surprised look on her face.

What? This is Aunt Hu, looking in disbelief.

Gu Jiu nodded solemnly, You heard right, father asked me to buy a dowry for you. The dowry costs 8,000 taels.

Really?

Gu Zhen's eyes lit up and she was overjoyed, Second sister, didn't you lie to me?

Gu Jiu smiled and shook his head, How dare I lie to you about such a big thing.

That's great. Gu Zhen cried with joy, she was so excited.

Concubine Hu was very worried, Master passed over the wife and directly asked the second girl to buy the dowry for Girl Zhen. This is slapping the wife in the face.

Gu Zhen muttered, Madam deserves it.

Aunt Hu glared, Shut up. How did you talk, have you forgotten the rules?

Gu Zhen felt guilty.

Concubine Hu said to Gu Jiu again, The eldest girl doesn't choose to say anything, it's all unintentional. I also asked the second girl to pretend not to hear it.

Aunt Hu was very worried that Gu Zhen's words would reach Xie's ears.

If Xie's intentionally wears Gu Zhen's shoes, it will make Gu Zhen very embarrassed and lose face in front of others.

Gu Jiu smiled knowingly, Did Big Sister speak just now? I never heard it.

Aunt Hu was relieved, and she thought that Gu Jiu was the best person. Talking and doing things are kind. No wonder the eldest Mrs. Zhang, the ladies from the Hou residence next door, and the old lady all liked Gu Jiu.

Gu Zhen was far inferior to Gu Jiu in this respect, and she still had to learn.

Aunt Hu gave Gu Jiu a grateful smile.

Gu Jiu nodded slightly and said, For the 8,000 taels of dowry money, listen to my arrangement first. If you have different ideas, let's discuss it slowly and draw up a dowry list that everyone is satisfied with, how about it?

Gu Zhen nodded again and again, Second sister, tell me, how are you going to arrange these eight thousand taels?

Qingmei prepares the four treasures of the study.

Gu Jiu picked up the pen to write, and recorded the dowry that he had initially planned.

After writing, she handed the list to Gu Zhen for review, eldest sister, please review it. If there is anything inappropriate, feel free to mention it.
