Generally, a child bride is equivalent to the one bought by her husband's family, not to mention the dowry, even her whole person belongs to her husband's family.

   But Baolu was different. Although her grandmother Wan had to send her to the Gu family as a child bride, she was actually accompanied by a dowry.

   A pair of bracelets, a few ingots of silver and four medical books.

The    is very thin, but it is all the things Wan can take out. Of course, Baolu has eaten and used more than these these years, but those things are still well preserved except for the few ingots of silver that Li Baolu used.

   Including that pair of silver bracelets.

Li Baolu never thought about her dowry, because she was in charge of their family's money, and she never separated herself from Gu Jingyun. For her, the money she earned belonged to Gu Jingyun, and so did Gu Jingyun. her.

Is there any difference between    dowry and Gu's property?

   Gu Jingyun said: "It doesn't matter, but I just want to add some property to your name so that people will not criticize you."

   "Do you care about other people's criticism?" Li Baolu squinted at him.

  Gu Jingyun nodded solemnly, "I don't care, it's not okay to criticize you."

He returned the things in his hand to her and said with a smile: "Okay, let's choose, I only got these materials after I released the wind for more than half a month. Among them, there are two complete villages, three scattered fields, and shops in Beijing have always been It is in short supply, and no one is selling it, even if we have it, it is difficult for us to grab others."

   "I've calculated carefully. It's not cost-effective to buy a shop in the capital. It's better to buy all the land, and then go to Baoding to buy some shops for rent, or do some small business. The shops there are much cheaper."

  Li Baolu flipped through the information and got a headache, "I have to go and see it on the spot, but I can't tell the pros and cons from the description on the paper."

   Gu Jingyun knew at a glance that she was lazy again, and reached out to take it, "Forget it, I'll choose it for you."

He threw the documents aside, stretched out his hand to hold her whole in his arms, and said with a low laugh: "In more than a month, it will be New Year's Eve, and the annual ceremonies of each family have to be prepared. We were away last year, so we didn't enter the palace. I have escaped a lot of banquets, this year is definitely not so lucky, you will ask someone to come to the house tomorrow to make two new clothes for everyone, and we will enter the palace to attend the palace banquet on New Year's Eve."

  Li Baolu grabbed Gu Jingyun's hand on her waist, her face flushed slightly. Since that night, after she made it clear that she was going to have a make-up wedding, Gu Jingyun always looked for an opportunity to hug her. As long as the two of them were alone, they would definitely do something.

Li Baolu broke his hand. Seeing that he couldn't break it, she could only accept her fate and let him go. She nodded along with his words and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will ask Hong Tao to instruct the people in the embroidery workshop to measure the size when we come back from school. , select a style."

  Gu Mansion wants to make new clothes, not only the master, but even the servants have to make two sets.

   However, this cost is not large, because in addition to the fabrics of the servants who have to go to the cloth shop to buy, the fabrics required by the masters are all produced by themselves.

   And the fabrics to be purchased are also bought from their own fabric houses, and the cost price is very cheap.

   And the fabrics produced by themselves come from the palace and Qin Wenyin.

  Gu Jingyun Jian was in the heart of the emperor. The emperor knew that the property distributed to him by the Gu family was not good, so he made excuses from time to time to give him some rewards.

  What is the reward? There is very little gold and silver, because if the reward is too much, the general manager of the inner treasury and the ministers will have opinions.

   So they are all rewarded with satin and silk brocade, and ornaments.

   And since Li Baolu asked for an order to reopen the girls' school, the queen liked her even more. The emperor rewarded her, and she also followed.

Her rewards are more targeted. All kinds of jewelry, brocade and silk, the Queen has rewarded her twice this month. Each time, the things are very few and not noticeable, but they add up. It can be said that since Li Baolu has been in Beijing for so long, she has not spent much money on jewelry and clothes.

She once rebuffed with sincerity, but the queen said it bluntly, "These things are collected by the officials of the late emperor and piled up in the inner treasury. There are few concubines and concubines in the harem of your majesty, and they are not used much. It is a waste to let them pile up in the inner treasury. , I can’t say that it will be damaged and rotten, so it is better to reward those who have merit.”

  Li Baolu smiled, "Niangniang, how can I get any credit?"

   "Why not?" The queen said solemnly: "You are happy when you come to the palace. Isn't that credit? Besides, you are a teacher, and you have made merit in educating people. I think you will reward you as a reward."

   In short, I was looking for various reasons to give Li Baolu something.

   But Li Baolu always felt uneasy, because although she was more involved in the palace than the general officials and family members, she also appeared to be very close to the queen, but in fact they were not very close.

   At least Li Baolu didn't think from the bottom of her heart that they were so close.

  Gu Jingyun smiled when she saw her uneasy and said, "Since the maiden rewards you, you can just accept it with peace of mind."

   "Why is Niangniang so nice to me?" Li Baolu asked in a low voice, "Because I once saved His Majesty and the Crown Prince? But His Majesty also gave me three promises, so let's repay that love."

   "It's not just for this." The Queen didn't love Li Baolu deeply. Of course, it was impossible to give her gifts for no reason. Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "She is for Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty intends to use me, but because the emperor's holy will has not been able to speak to the ministers, I declined." Gu Jingyun laughed softly: "I think teaching is very good, there is no need to rush to the morning court every day. Your Majesty Maybe I think I refused to avoid him being embarrassed, so..."

"Besides, the Empress was right, the late emperor was extravagant, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs collected a lot of rare and precious treasures, all of which are effective from the top to the bottom. The local officials pay tribute to Your Majesty every year, all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and furnishings are available today. Neither the Queen nor the Empress are extravagant people. Since they entered the palace, not only did they not move things out of the inner library, but they put away the things in the palace and put them in the inner library. Those things may be invaluable, but they are difficult to exchange for gold. Silver can only be rewarded to the ministers."

  The emperor and the empress gave Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu this kind of reward, not only because of feelings and guilt, but also because they wanted to clear their inventory. Anyway, some things that are not very valuable should be rewarded. Rather than reward others, it is better to reward people they like.

  Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "Not only you and me, but my uncle has also received a lot of rewards this year. Fortunately, each time there are not many things, and the value is not eye-catching, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble."

  Li Baolu finally accepted the reward from the palace with peace of mind.

  There are too many rewards, so she specially set aside a big house to put them there. Because the fabrics for the rewards come according to the seasons, she has no shortage of fabrics in any season.

   She doesn't know how to make clothes, so she can hire an embroidery lady from an embroidery workshop to make them, and she provides the materials, so the commission is not expensive at all.

  Because the weather was getting colder and colder, Li Baolu planned to make another fox fur cape for Gu Jingyun. At this time, she was squatting in the warehouse looking for the fox furs that the queen gave her last time.

Li Baolu dug out the fox fur from the bottom of the box, looked at the box, which already took up one-third of the room, and said happily, "Even if one day we run out of money, we just take out these things or sell them or take them, our life You can have a good time too.”

   Gu Jingyun leaning on the door frame: "...I'm so useless, I can't even support you?"

   "I'm afraid I'll spend too much," Li Baolu gave him a flattering smile, jumped up to him and said, "Isn't this feeling inspired by looking at the things in the room?"

  Gu Jingyun nodded her forehead, glanced at the boxes in the room, and nodded slightly: "But you're right, these things are not cheap."

   So he decided that both the emperor and the queen were invited to Baolu's wedding ceremony and their wedding. Those two were big families.

  So, after Qin Xinfang and his wife and Qin Wenyin were together, the emperor was the sixth person to know that they were going to make up the wedding.

emperor:"……"

  The emperor looked at Gu Jingyun silently, and cleared his throat after a while and said, "You are old, you should have a consummation, and are you planning to have a few family dinners? I will take the queen and some children with me."

   "Go back to Your Majesty, I will invite not only my family, but also my colleagues and friends for the wedding, so the scene will be a bit big. If Your Majesty wants to go, you have to prepare in advance."

   So you really want to do it grandly?

   "Like your eldest apprentice?"

  Gu Jingyun nodded.

The    emperor was a little nervous. He could almost predict how everyone would talk about this matter. He reminded: "Qinghe, how long have you been married?"

"Which time did your majesty ask?" Gu Jingyun looked up at him calmly and said, "If you consider the marriage relationship in the law, it should be more than three years, and it will be four years after the new year and the spring, when the minister is going to leave. In Qiongzhou, if Chunxi wanted to follow, he had to change his nationality into Liang, so the governor agreed to issue a marriage certificate."

"In terms of civil marriage, it was 11 years ago, and it has been 12 years since New Year's Eve. At that time, the grandmother of the Li family sent her to my house and made it clear that she wanted to be me as a child bride. For those who got married, the governor did not issue a marriage certificate in order to get more tax. But from the perspective of folk customs, she was also my wife at that time."

"As for the fact of marriage," Gu Jingyun's face was still calm, but the tips of his ears were slightly red, he said lightly, "Then we don't have it yet, because we don't have a consummation, and after this wedding, We naturally have the fact of marriage."

emperor:"……"

  The emperor was considering how to get rid of his thought that he might be made fun of, when he looked up, he saw Director Su, who was beside him, winking at him.

  The emperor followed his gaze, only to find Gu Jingyun's red ears.

  The emperor was happy, and his previous worries disappeared. He laughed and nodded cheerfully: "Okay, then you go to prepare, and tell me when you have chosen a date, and I will go to congratulate you in person."

  Gu Jingyun was stunned for a moment. He thought it would take some effort to convince the emperor. After all, unlike Zhao Ning, he had been married for almost four years.

   But he soon became happy. If the emperor came forward, his wedding would only be more perfect.

   Gu Jingyun slammed it to the end, and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

Only at this time did the emperor realize that Gu Jingyun was only Mu Ai's youth, and he waved his hand cheerfully: "Are you going to invite the queen? Go, go. When the day is chosen, tell me that I and the queen will add makeup to Chunxi. "
