    Gu Jinchao was waiting for her camellias in the back room, selected varieties that bloomed in spring, and sent them to his father.  She pointed to a pot of white and pink camellia and told Qingpu: "Go to grandma's place to say hello at noon and bring this pot of camellia up."

    A few days ago, the Feng family formally invited a matchmaker to go to the Xu family in Tongzhou to arrange a date, and the date of the wedding was set for May 28th.  These days, Mrs. Feng often came to talk to her, mostly to tell Xu Jingyi to get married.  She also asked her father to discuss the betrothal gift.

    Xu's mother told her privately: "The Madam said that the betrothal gift for the renewal of the marriage should not be too large. After all, there will be another marriage in the family soon, and we have to prepare a dowry for Miss Lian Si, so we will prepare a dowry of twenty dan."  That's it" Mrs. Feng attaches great importance to Gu Lian's marriage, and her father suppresses it for fear that the two marriages will conflict.

    After all, the engagement between Gu Dezhao and Xu Jingyi still bothers Feng, and she hopes that Gu Lian can make the Gu family proud.

    Gu Jinchao said to Xu's mother: "If the betrothal gift is too small, I'm afraid the Xu family will feel disrespected by us. Go and tell your father that even if there are only twenty loads, the things on each load must be carefully considered and must not be neglected."  If he has no money, he can pay it from me."

    Xu¡¯s mother went to talk to Gu Dezhao, and Gu Dezhao came to find her immediately.

    His eyes are blue and black, and he must not have slept well these days.  "How can father get money from you!" He was very determined. "Your money was left to you by your mother, and it will be your dowry from now on. No matter how hard it is, father will never touch your things."

    Jin Chao asked him: "Then what are you going to do? All your profits are now in the hands of your grandmother, right? You only have more than a thousand taels of silver at most, which is not enough to buy two fine jade Buddhas. You also need to use gold Ruyi to pack the box."  Are you going to talk to grandma about it?"

    The eldest daughter was still very clear about his accounts. Gu Dezhao blushed and said, "It's difficult for your grandmother too. Such a big family depends on your second uncle and the income from our house. Why don't I sell Liangxiang?"  A small farm over there collects money, but the income of that farm is not good"

    Jin Chao smiled and said: "Second uncle's salary? Second uncle's salary is twenty-four shi per month, and his salary is one hundred guan, which is barely enough to support two households. Seeing that Sister Lian is getting married, all the money my grandmother has on hand is used to give to Sister Lian.  My son has bought a dowry." She thought of the last time she overheard Feng talking to her second uncle.

    "Second uncle said that our expenses have increased a lot since our branch came in. But the income you have on hand alone is more than two thousand taels of silver every month. All this money is with my grandmother. We, the people in the fourth room, Xi  Sister, Sister Yi, who are not very frugal? How much expenses can they have? Now they only have the money to buy betrothal gifts, but they can¡¯t use it anymore?" Jin Chao smiled.

    Gu Dezhao fell silent when he heard what Jin Chao said.  He always defended Feng in front of Jin Chao and did not want the relationship between Jin Chao and Feng to be bad.  But Feng is sometimes partial, and the best things always come from the second wife, because there is Gu Deyuan, who has a higher official position, and Gu Lian, who can marry into the pavilion's hometown as her daughter-in-law. Even Feng has the highest expectations for Gu Jinxiao  of.

    Gu Dezhao asked Jin Chao: "Your second uncle said something like that?"

    Jin Chao only said: "I don't want to care about you, but I can't let the Xu family be disgraced. You thought of a way to solve this problem. However, the property and the house deed are in your hands and cannot be easily touched."  "My father only has the confidence to speak if he has these things on hand.

    Gu Dezhao went to talk to Feng.

    Ms. Feng was very angry that day and said with excitement: "Why am I partial to your second brother? Think about it, Sister Lian married into the Yao family and enjoyed a good life. From now on, the Yao family will treat us well, and we will benefit."  As a member of the Gu family, you must not be short-sighted!"

    Gu Dezhao said: "I understand what you said. I have never said a word about the profits being handed over to you. It's okay for you to buy a dowry for Sister Lian, but the betrothal gift for the Xu family cannot be too small."  , if you think you don¡¯t have enough money, why don¡¯t I sell the things I want to leave to Sister Chao and make a dowry for Sister Lian first!¡±

    Feng was so speechless by him.  I sold things to Sister Chao and bought boxes for Sister Lian.

    How will you hear this if you spread it out?

    Feng said coldly: "You have already turned your heart towards Miss Xu before she got married. You are afraid that I will wrong her in the betrothal gift. Do you still think of me as your mother?" Thinking of Gu Dezhao and Xu Jingyi.  , Feng was so angry that his liver hurt!

    These two people had arranged the marriage behind her back, so she could only send Cheng Baozhi back to Jiangxi, otherwise how could these betrothal gifts fall into the hands of outsiders.

    After Xu Jingyi gets married, I don¡¯t know if I will obey her discipline!

    Gu Dezhao hesitated for a moment and then said: "Of course I have you in my heart, but I'm afraid you don't have me in your heart."?I am very excited. This matter must be settled as soon as possible. If Sister Lian can marry Mr. Chen, then who is Yao Wenxiu?

    ¡­¡­

    When Gu Jinchao arrived at the Dongkua Courtyard, he saw the Second Madam and the Fifth Madam coming over, but Madam Yao was invited to the flower hall to drink tea.

    The little girl brought her a spoon and said, "Second Miss, please sit down for a moment. The Madam will finish speaking in a moment."

    Gu Jinchao was sitting under the verandah and saw the closed Xijijian fan, but he was very confused in his heart.

    Mother Tong said that Mrs. Yao came here to cancel the engagement.  The Yao family's decision to break off the marriage was undoubtedly a big blow to Feng, who had always been looking forward to the marriage between the two families. However, Feng's reaction to calling her two daughters-in-law to have a secret talk did not really look like anger.

    Gu Jinchao glanced at the Yao family girl and mother-in-law standing outside. She changed her arrogant attitude of raising her head and chest and looked very humble.

    ¡­There must be something wrong with this.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
