The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 425 Where to Look (2)
On the second day, Qing Shu had already adjusted her emotions, and opened the heartwarming letter of commitment sent by Ma Shi.Because of her mental preparation, she was not as angry as she was yesterday when she read the letter.Moreover, she found a very small amount of comfort from the letter, and her disgust towards Gu Ye's mother finally faded a little bit.

Although her little Bai Hua Niang was stupid enough, fortunately she did not write that she and Gu Li should serve as one husband, but said that the two cousins ​​should marry into the same big family and become the same daughter-in-law.She shook her head, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

As far as she knew, the aristocratic families of this era married their children and grandchildren. If they married sisters, they must serve the husband together. One of the sisters was the main wife and the other was a concubine.However, it is very rare for two brothers to marry a sister with the same surname as their main wives.Father General should lose his temper, because this matter is quite difficult to handle.If the man's family were ordinary people or small officials and history, they would be willing to curry favor with the general, but what the Ma's family wanted was the descendants of a fourth-rank official, so it was basically useless.

In the end, with this letter of commitment in hand, Mrs. Ma either made the sisters serve a husband together, or used some means to make Qingshu quit and let Gu Li marry.It can only be said that Gu Ye's stupidity is pathetic and hateful, being played by Ma's applause without knowing it.

Regarding the dowry, Gu Ye promised that when Gu Li got married, her aunt would add a dowry of forty liters.According to the customs of the capital, a high-ranking official and a wealthy family have to prepare a dowry of [-] levies when they marry their daughters. This is just a base number.For a noble family to marry a daughter, the dowry is more than [-]!However, because frugality is advocated today, many dignitaries and senior officials marry their daughters according to the standard of [-].Calculated according to the [-], half of Gu Li's dowry would have to be paid by Gu Ye's family.

Gu Yunfu's family has no official status and no rank, and it is all thanks to the general brothers that they became a small rich family in the local area.According to their status and conditions, in the capital, twenty levies of dowry is not bad when marrying a daughter, but they are delusional about [-] levies, and their big hearts have no limits.If there were not too many variables in the middle, if the general's father hadn't passed away early, Ma Shi might be chasing the general's father for the son-in-law of a wealthy official!

Qing Shu compared the handwriting of this "commitment letter" with the handwriting on other letters left by Mrs. Gu Ye, and they were very similar.She put it away, put on her hat and gloves, and took Xiaojuan to the front.

At this time, the door of the mansion was wide open, not only the servants were looking out, but the butler Gu was also in front, looking out from time to time.

Qingshu walked unhurriedly towards the open door of the mansion, and the servants all saluted and greeted him.The butler Gu turned his head when he heard the commotion, and greeted him, "It's cold outside, why don't miss wait in the front hall. The young masters have arrived, and the old servant will report by himself."

Qing Shu kept on stepping, "No need, the young masters will be very happy to see me welcome them."

Seeing this, the butler Gu didn't stop him anymore, and immediately ordered the servants to line up on the left and right in front of the mansion gate.

Qingshu stood at the gate of the mansion, standing slightly sideways, looking at the direction Qingyang and the others came from.

After a while, someone with sharp eyes said that the young masters were back.

Seeing the chariots and horses guarded by more than a dozen riders come into view, Qing Shu waited with a smile.As the distance got closer, the figures changed from blurred to clear, and the faces of the knights could be clearly seen.

Zhou Boyan wore a blue brocade robe and a blue cloak, and sat firmly on the back of a tall horse.He didn't wear a cloak hat, and the phoenix eyes under the sword eyebrows were still clear and cold at first, but when he saw the figure waiting in front of the mansion, the coldness receded immediately.At the same time, the sense of alienation on his jade-like face dissipated, and he turned to stare at the figure in front of him with a smile on his face.

Qing Shu lowered his head, turned around and prepared to enter the mansion.At this moment, from the other side, there was a delicate voice from a woman, "Sister Qing Shu."Qing Shu subconsciously turned her face away, looking at Gu Li who was walking over with a shy face, she suddenly felt nauseous, and the smile on her face disappeared.

Gu Li was supported by the servant girl Mei Erxu, wearing a pink dress that girls like, wearing a hairpin ring, and walked over with lotus steps.She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she glanced shyly in the direction of Zhou Boyan and his party, ignoring the butler Gu who came forward, and asked Qing Shu softly, "Sister Qing Shu, Did brother Qingyang come back?"

Qing Shu is not blind, so he naturally saw Gu Li's look at Zhou Boyan.She narrowed her eyes slightly, and didn't want to talk to Gu Li, so she stepped into the house to make room for the horses and horses that were approaching.

Gu Li was left on the spot, a little embarrassed.Even though she was embarrassed, she glanced in Zhou Boyan's direction again, bit her lip, and called "sister, wait for sister" cheekily, and followed into the mansion.

Xiaojuan turned her head and saw that Gu Li had followed in, she was very angry.But because the young lady didn't speak, she had no choice but to hold back and not chase people away.She was angry, not for anything else, because Gu Li hated Young Master Yan's appearance.In her heart, Mr. Yan belonged to her young lady, so how could others care about him.

Qing Shu entered the mansion, stopped at a place out of the way, turned around and waited for his younger brother and the others to come in.Gu Li spontaneously stood in front of Qing Shu, and followed Qing Shu to the gate of the mansion.

But for a moment, Zhou Boyan rode in front, followed by three carriages, the brocade-clothed guards got off their horses and followed the reins, and entered the mansion.

Zhou Boyan got off his horse, and Gu Shitou immediately took the reins.The carriage had already parked, and a servant immediately put down the horse stool.The book boys who followed waited for Qingyang and Hao to get off the car.Mr. Lu's family in the second car also got out of the carriage.

When everyone was busy greeting and greeting, Xiaojuan said loudly, "Hey, you are a girl, do you have any sense of shame? Where are you looking?"

The sudden and shocking words caused everyone to pause and all looked over here.It was only then that everyone realized that Xiaojuan had her hips crossed and was glaring at another maid.

Mei'er lowered her head so low that she couldn't lower it, and softly defended, "No, no, I didn't look anywhere."

As for Gu Li, her face was as red as a boiled shrimp, and she couldn't lift her head.However, careful people will notice that when she lowered her head, she actually looked in one direction out of the corner of her eye.And in that direction, stood a slender figure with his back to her.

Although the young lady didn't reprimand her, Xiaojuan knew that her words and deeds were inappropriate, so she wanted to stop there.But when she turned her face, she noticed that Gu Li was still peeking at Mr. Yan.She immediately became angry, and glared at the top of Meier's head, "Hey, don't you understand people's words? Keep watching, keep watching, and if you dare to look around, you will definitely poke your restless eyes."

Zhou Boyan bowed to Mr. Lu who had just got off the carriage, and left without looking back.From the beginning to the end, he didn't look this way.

Gu Shitou glanced at Qingshu suspiciously, and signaled the guards to follow the young master, while he himself stayed and directed the people to carry all kinds of baggage, big and small.

At this time, Qing Shu stepped forward, smiling and facing the crowd who were stunned because of their incomprehension.She asked if Mrs. Lu was tired with Shengge, if Qingyang and Hao were having fun, and so on.After that, Qingshu took Qingyang and Hao away, Shengge was dragged away by Maizi and Zhou Xing, Lady Lu and others also went back.But the servants were busy moving things, and no one greeted Gu Li's master and servant.
