Chapter 205 The Emperor's Mind Is Unpredictable (2)
Jingyi was a little stunned when she heard that, it was just a bed, why did it start to be built four years ago?Could it be that it still needs to be built for three or four years?

Gu glanced at Jingyi who was a little stunned, "You! Don't think that getting married is a trivial matter! Just talking about this sachet, you have to prepare at least a hundred of them! Think about it, you married someone , it is absolutely necessary to reward the servants. If you don’t prepare it in advance, but want to make it now, how can there be time?”

Jingyi nodded with a vague understanding, and asked, "Mother, what about the elder brother's marriage?"

"Your elder brother's marriage was originally scheduled for October, but the emperor ordered the marriage. If your elder brother's marriage was brought forward, it would be so easy to have two marriages at the same time. So, your elder brother's marriage is not a day. It's just that you can't watch your elder brother get married with your own eyes."

Jingyi sighed and said: "Yes! Eldest brother and sister Cui's marriage in October, alas! However, my daughter is a little happy. She is no longer serving you by your side, but with sister Cui, mother will not be lonely. gone."

Gu said with a smile: "Yes! That Cui Qianqian is really good. Now my mother only hopes that you and your elder brother can have a smooth wedding."

Jingyi blushed, and said lightly: "Look at what mother said, could it be that you just hope that your daughter will go out quickly?"

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and here Mrs. Gu kept taking care of some other trivial matters, teaching Jingyi while taking care of them, how to take care of common affairs?How to take care of the inner house?When I got busy, the time passed quickly.

The mother and daughter had lunch and started to get busy again.Jingyi couldn't help scolding Yuanxi secretly, since the emperor has already decreed the marriage, why are you in such a hurry to get married?What a toss!
The two were looking at the account books when they saw the butler come in and said: "Madam, the marriage bed has been brought over. Look, where is it suitable?"

Gu thought for a while, "Let's put it in Miss's yard. We'll go and have a look later."

The two straightened out the account books, and Mrs. Gu took Jingyi's hand and went to see the marriage bed.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, but Jingyi was stunned!

This is a nanmu lacquered gold wedding bed, which has three entrances in total, occupying half of the room, with a rolling canopy on the top, steps on the bottom, and a verandah in front of the steps.On the right side of the veranda is a small cabinet with two drawers and two doors, in which some belongings of the owner can be placed, and can also be locked. A lamp stand can be placed above the small cabinet, so it is also called a lighting cabinet; Things are hidden in the box.The second half is the bed. A pair of vases are carved on both sides of the bed, which means peace and tranquility;

Looking at such a huge 'furniture', Jingyi sighed: "Mother, is this the marriage bed?"

Mrs. Gu smiled lightly and said nothing, but Nanny He said with a smile: "Yes, miss. This is called a thousand-work bed. As the name implies, it means one work a day. A marriage bed takes as much as a thousand-work man-hour, which is three years. It takes more time to make a marriage bed."

"More than three years?" Jingyi couldn't help but admire her grandfather's foresight!
Jingyi took a closer look at this Qiangong bed, all the carvings are hollow wood carvings, real lacquer and real gold veneer, meticulously carved, it can be seen that the huge amount of labor is involved!
Jingyi shook her head and sighed: "It's just a bed, it's too luxurious!"

However, Mrs. Gu disagreed and said: "A person spends half his life on the bed, how can he be careless? Besides, you are going to marry King Ping! Only such a marriage bed can we afford!"

Jingyi sighed secretly, it was too extravagant and wasted!It's just that in such an era, the status is clear, not to mention King Ping, but the identity of her father, Ping Nanhou, is never allowed to be too simple and plain.

Liu Xing'er came in and reported: "Madam, Miss, the old master and the old master are back and are waiting in the front hall, please come over!"

Gu Shi and Jingyi went to the front hall and took a look. There were several big boxes in the hall. Seeing her mother and daughter coming in, Su Wei smiled and said, "Why? Madam, are you satisfied with the marriage bed? "

Gu said with a smile: "Naturally! Father chose high-quality wood and hired famous craftsmen, which is naturally excellent."

The old man smiled and said: "Yiyi! These boxes of things are considered to be your grandfather's makeup!" After finishing speaking, he signaled the servants to open the boxes one by one, so that Jingyi could go forward and have a look.

After Jingyi looked at them one by one, she was shocked and said: "Grandfather, these things are too expensive, forgive my granddaughter for not being able to bear them!"

"Hey! Grandpa added makeup to you, so of course you have to charge it! What's the matter? Dislike the fact that Grandpa gave you too little?" The old man feigned anger.

Jingyi hurriedly shook her head and looked at Su Wei.

Su Wei smiled and said, "Okay. Yiyi, since your grandfather gave it to you, just accept it." After speaking, he took a small box from the table and handed it to Mrs. Gu. "Madam, take a look first, this is the dowry I prepared for Jingyi! Do you think it's okay?"

Gu Shi took a look, his face was a little surprised, and said: "Master, is this dowry too generous?"

The old man waved his hand and said, "Daughter-in-law! Yiyi is married to the royal family, and King Ming will get married in two days. I let people see the dowry list of Princess Ming. We Yiyi, too. It can't be worse than hers!"

Jingyi felt a bit dumbfounded, thinking she would decline again, she heard Su Wei dispatch the servants, and said lightly: "Yiyi, these things are here for you, and you can keep them. After you get married, you will go to The city is closed. It is a barren land, and the emperor will grant the closure of the city to King Ping, I am afraid it is with deep intentions! These money, when you get there, will naturally be useful. You just take it well."

Jingyi's eyes were slightly red, but the elders were very considerate, they actually thought of some things about her after marriage.Jing Yifu leaned back and said: "Yiyi is here to thank grandfather and father."

The old man stroked his beard, and said: "Yiyi, although you are not in time, you will be an adult after you get married, and you can no longer be as casual as before. King Ping is not bad, although he is not favored, but After all, he has some skills! The emperor sent him to seal the city this time. The old man thought that maybe he just wanted to hide him in the snow! I am afraid that he will be reactivated sooner or later. You have to plan well for him, don’t let him People take advantage of their shortcomings!"

Jingyi nodded and said: "Yes! Yiyi respectfully obeys the instruction!"

Su Wei smiled with satisfaction: "Yiyi, you have been very smart since you were a child, and it's okay to be like this now. At least it keeps you out of the wrong place! It's just that your mother will miss you often. Leisure At that time, remember to send some letters back from time to time, so as not to remind people!"

"Yes! My daughter wrote it down."

Gu's eyes were red, and she said with a smile: "Look at what you are saying! Yiyi is not married yet! Yiyi, mother has already selected several companion rooms for you, and your personal maid will also be together. I will accompany you to get married. As for Nanny He, her family is here, and when she turns around, mother will ask her what she means. What do you think?"
