Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 141: How many girls are you bringing?

Gu Ruoxing's departure date was set for October 26th. Although it was less than two months away, there was no formal ceremony, so it did not seem hasty.

During the little time she had left at home, Gu Ruoxing did not get closer to her mother, Wang, but instead engaged in a cold war with her.

The reason was simple: his father had previously proposed to give him several profitable shops, but his mother was unwilling and said she wanted to leave them to her younger brother.

For the first time, Gu Ruoxing felt that her mother was so biased.

"Miss, the lady is here." Xing'er reminded in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruoxing sat a few inches further inside and glanced at the door. She was angry, but who wouldn't want to talk to their mother before getting married?

When Wang came in and saw her daughter, she put the box in her hand on the table with a "bang" sound.

"I know you are resentful, but you can't just think about yourself. Your brother and your half sister will have a lot of places to spend money in the future. Your eldest aunt is the housekeeper, so she can give some to the main house. Your second aunt is rich, so it's better not to say it." Wang came this time and spoke to her daughter in a very frank manner.

"These are the three shops your father picked out for you to take. There's also three thousand taels of silver in notes. Keep them."

After hearing what her mother said, Gu Ruoxing looked up in surprise. This was a lot more than she had expected, and she really gave her father's shop.

"Mother—" Gu Ruoxing's voice trembled a little, and then she threw herself into her mother's arms, "I only hate that I ended up like this."

"You have to watch your mouth in the future. Although a concubine is also listed in the royal jade book, she is still inferior to the main wife." Wang said earnestly. She thought of the methods she used to control concubines. Who could have thought that one day, her daughter would become someone's concubine?

After hearing this, Gu Ruoxing cried even harder.

The courtyard of the third house was filled with things sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Li came over to help sort it out, with a smile on her face. "Second sister-in-law, I've been feeling like I'm in a dream for a while now. To think that Qinghe has such great fortune is even more gratifying than when my second brother won the third place in the imperial examination."

Bai smiled. Because of the emperor's decree, marrying her daughter off was suddenly on the agenda. She didn't complete the double confinement period and only stayed in bed for more than 40 days. However, the doctor said that it would be fine in these few days.

Gu Qinghe also followed behind Bai, perhaps out of a compensatory mentality. In this life, the things sent from the palace were much more than in the previous life. The eunuch who was on duty even came to tell her that some of the things were specially picked out by the Eastern Palace.

She looked at it and nodded to the eunuch, "Thank you for your help, eunuch."

The eunuch waved his hands quickly, "It is a blessing for a servant to be able to run errands for you."

How could he dare to deserve this person's thanks? She is the future mistress of the palace, and you are the one who has to curry favor with her.

As soon as he put his hand down, Yingchun came over and stuffed a purse into his hand, "Please keep it, it's cold, have a cup of hot tea."

As the eunuch collected his purse, he lowered his head and thought, this future Crown Princess is quite majestic, even more powerful than the ladies in the palace. If he had to say who she resembles most, it would probably be the Empress Dowager?

Thinking of this, the eunuch quickly raised his hand and hit himself on the head. This is the prince's wife, how can she be compared with the prince's grandmother.

But it's almost the same. People always joke that if someone marries a wife, he will marry an old lady who is of the same generation as your grandmother.

The eunuch covered his mouth and chuckled twice, then proposed to leave. Bai asked Mama Liu to see him off, and this time, she gave away a few more silver ingots.

As the eunuchs walked back, they were still discussing, "The Crown Princess's family is very generous. The masters in the palace reward people with small amounts of silver, but this lady gives out silver ingots."

"Okay, keep your mouths shut. Do you have to let the people who delivered things to the third branch of the Gu family a while ago know that you got a lot of rewards today? This will easily make people feel unbalanced." The leading eunuch, holding the red envelope given by Yingchun separately, looked very serious.

After seeing off the people from the palace, Li followed Gu Qinghe and her daughter into the main hall.

"Second sister-in-law, Qinghe's marriage is being arranged by the palace, so it's not too troublesome. Although the date hasn't been set yet, the prince has already performed the ceremony of coming of age, so I think it will be the beginning of next spring at the latest." Li looked at Gu Qinghe and smiled.

"How can we guess the royal family's intentions? We just have to wait for the news." Bai said, "Didn't the eunuch just say that the Empress Dowager will send two maids to teach etiquette in a few days?"

Li naturally knew that her second brother and his wife had never intended to marry their daughter to a wealthy family, so their family was just waiting for the letter and doing as they were told.

"Our Qinghe's rules and etiquette are one in a million. I guess that nanny is just going through the motions."

"Qinghe," Li turned the conversation to Gu Qinghe again, "Have you ever thought about bringing a few maids with you?"

Gu Qinghe naturally understood what his aunt meant, because when his eldest sister Gu Yueru got married, she brought four maids with her, just for the purpose of being adopted by his eldest brother-in-law in the future. For example, if his eldest sister became pregnant, his own maids would have a marriage contract, so everything would be easy to deal with.

"Aunt, I understand what you mean. You're thinking of me, but I've only had Yingchun and Wangchun around me since I was a child, and I'm not used to having other people around me." Gu Qinghe said calmly, "Besides, he's the Crown Prince."

The people around her must not be touched, this is also the bottom line. Yingchun and Wangchun are both devoted to her, so she wants to choose good men for them and let them go out of the palace to become the main wives.

Li understood what her niece meant. She was unwilling to push the people around her out. Besides, what could the prince not get if he wanted it?

Wasn’t the niece in front of me also intercepted by the prince at Xiangguo Temple?

"You're right. Auntie is too narrow-minded." Li smiled and said, "Your eldest sister left in a hurry when she came last time. She sent a message yesterday saying that she would come to buy you some makeup in a while."

"My elder sister is at the Lu family and she's still thinking about me."

"It's only natural. We're sisters."

Li continued talking for a while, then stood up. As she was about to leave, she said, "Look at my memory. I was dazzled by the things in the palace as soon as I entered the palace, and I forgot everything. Mother asked us to have dinner at her place tonight, so don't forget."

"Thank you for the reminder, sister-in-law." Bai smiled, "Do you know what mother is going to say?"

Li did not hide it, "Even if Ruoxing gets married and Qinghe gets married, the old lady wants to share some of their dowry. We should do it in front of everyone, and then we can talk about it later."

"Okay, I got it. Take care, sister-in-law." Bai and Gu Qinghe sent Li to the gate of the courtyard, watched her go away, and then returned to the courtyard.
