Chapter 592 Marriage

   Gu Wanning shook her head and said, "Since we moved in, we really treat you as brothers and sisters. You can look at the arrangement, we have no opinion."

   "Yes, yes, look at the arrangement." Gu Chenglin followed suit.

The demise of    Yang Mansion made him clearly realize the importance of Gu Chengrui and his wife to their siblings.

  If they hadn't been helping their siblings, even if they broke up with the Yang family, they would probably end up not much better than Yang Chengsen and the others.

   At least he will be implicated and never take part in the imperial examinations again.

  Gu Chengrui smiled with satisfaction and gave the list to Yang Chenglin: "Then pick out three things you like and leave them to remember."

   Yang Chenglin was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the list, and picked out a jade pendant, an inkstone, and a painting.

  Gu Chengrui nodded, picked out a wooden carving of a flying eagle, and gave it to Zhou Ying, "You look like you've gathered Wanning's sixty-six dowries.

  The rest will be reserved for Cheng Lin to marry a wife, and if there is no more, forget it. "

   "Okay." Zhou Ying took it and looked at Mama Sun and said, "Mother Sun will help me come up with an idea later. It's the first time I'm preparing a dowry, so I'm afraid something will go wrong."

   "Yes, ma'am." Mother Sun nodded immediately.

   At the same time, I also admired the husband and wife very much. It was really rare that they returned such a large betrothal gift without blinking an eye.

   In the afternoon, before the dowry gift was put into storage, Zhou Ying and Mother Sun took them directly, removed the 30 boxes of dowry gift, removed the food, and picked out the dowry, and changed it to 25 sets of dowry.

   In addition to the more than 40 boxes of dowry they had prepared before, after picking and choosing, they sealed up the sixty-six genuine dowries.

   In the evening, after discussing with Gu Chengrui, Zhou Ying gathered six more dowries for Gu Wanning.

  Two catties of bird's nest, one hundred-year-old ginseng, cloth batch, tea set and tea leaves, a box of pearls, and a full set of soap and rouge gouache made by Gu Chengrui himself.

   Although they didn't spend a penny or two.

   But if you want to buy these things, you can't get it without ten thousand taels of silver.

   What they didn't expect was that on the morning before the wedding, Liu's family and Yao's family, who had never been seen, came in at the same time, and each brought two dowries.

   When Zhou Ying found out that they separated Yao's sister-in-law and Liu's sister-in-law, she immediately invited them in and said, "Two aunties, sit down, what kind of tea do you like to drink."

   "Whatever, anything is fine, we don't pick." Aunt Yao said.

   Zhou Ying took a look at the two of them, and seeing that their faces were not very good and they were thin, she knew that their lives were not much better.

   Then brewed a cup of rose tea for each of them and said, "Then have a cup of rose tea, it's good for us women."

   "Thank you." The two thanked each other after taking the tea.

   Zhou Ying saw that they were a little embarrassed, and asked, "Two aunts, how are you at home?"

   "It's alright, if you can't go up or down, you can pass." Aunt Liu said.

   "Although I was a little implicated at the beginning, it's all right now, and I've also received a lot of light from you." Yao's aunt smiled.

   "Is it because the Gu family was copied?"

   "Yes, but only for a while."

   Then the two talked about the situation at home in detail.

   Zhou Ying also learned that the two families were the subordinates of the Gu family back then.

  As soon as the Gu family fell, the life of the two families was naturally difficult, but the elder brother of the Yao family, who was an official in the court, was timid and cautious, and he was fine after being demoted two levels in a row.

   Now, because of Gu Chengrui's arrival, he has resumed his original position and became the fourth-rank official of the Ministry of Rites.
