Chapter 5 Willing to share my worries for my grandmother
Seeing this row of young and beautiful girls, Mrs. Jiang felt much more comfortable, and some of her previous dissatisfaction with Mrs. Zhou also dissipated.
Although she had never been very satisfied with Zhou's daughter-in-law, the Zhou family was kind to her son and her son was willing to marry her, so she had no choice but to accept the marriage.
Over the years, Mrs. Zhou has done quite well. After several years of teaching by her, she is able to preside over the middle school in a decent manner. The whole house is also kept in order, whether it is the concubines or concubines in the family or the people living next door.
She has never treated her nieces and nephews badly.
Jiang said: "Please find a place to sit down. You went out to play today, but where did you go?"
The fourth girl, Gu Ying, was a spoiled brat, and Jiang was her biological grandmother, so she was closer to her, so she approached her and said coquettishly: "Grandma, we went to the Chang'an Building to see the poems written by the students.
It’s really good.”
"Oh? I'm pretty good at poetry." Jiang laughed and said, "You can go out for a walk these days. If there are any students in this class that you like, grandma will make the decision for you."
The second girl, Gu Xiang, said: "Let me tell you, it is of no use whether you like her now or not. You have to wait until she is in high school. After all, we are also girls from a first-class Marquis mansion. How can we agree to her so easily?"
Although the truth is this, Gu Xiang's words are indeed a bit blunt, which makes people uncomfortable to listen to.
The third girl, Gu Yi, shook her fan and said with a smile: "I'm afraid what the second sister said is wrong. It doesn't depend on whether she can go to high school. If she likes it, even if she gets married and eats glutinous rice, I will do the same."
happy to."
Gu Xiang felt contempt in his heart, just like your mother. Is she willing to have an affair with someone and become a concubine?
However, she knew where this place was, and it was not wise to argue with Gu Yi. After thinking about it, she snorted and fell silent.
Jiang watched the struggle between the two men coldly and smiled: "Okay, I came to see you today because I actually have something to discuss with you."
"You also know about your eldest sister. Grandma won't say more. The Wu'an Marquis Mansion wants to choose another girl to marry from our house."
"When your eldest sister didn't come back, she said she suddenly fell ill and asked her to marry her and continue the marriage. Are any of you willing?"
As soon as Jiang said these words, the scene fell silent, the four girls stopped their movements, and Gu Yi's breathing became heavier.
Although substitute marriage is quite disgraceful, it also depends on the family you are marrying into.
That's the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion!
The one she is marrying is the Prince of Wu’an!
After this marriage, she will be the Crown Prince’s wife, and in the future she will be the Hou Madam!
The four girls present, except for the young Gu Yan, the other three became excited.
Gu Yi couldn't believe it: "Is what grandma said true? The person you want to marry is the Prince of Wu'an?"
Jiang glanced at her and said slowly: "It is the Prince of Wu'an Hou. After all, it is your eldest sister who has no fate with him. Now that the wedding is approaching, the Wu'an Hou Mansion cannot afford to lose this person. In this situation, we can only replace him with one person."
Get married."
"The two families have discussed it. The previously agreed dowry remains unchanged, except for the share that your eldest sister's mother privately subsidized for her. However, your eldest sister's mother has also said that the house will give her a shop and a farm.
Fill."
The dowry of a girl's family comes from several sources. One is prepared by the family and her father, and the other is sent by her husband's family when she is hired.
The other is what her parents have saved for her since she was born and what she has saved herself. The last share is a gift from her mother, which is taken out of her mother's private property.
If it were a different bride, the front two could not be moved, but the back two could be changed.
Jiang said: "Ayan is still young, Gillian is still sick, and although she lives in our house, she is the daughter of the Xie family, so we don't even consider it. Are you three willing?"
Gu Xiang squeezed the handkerchief tightly, his heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.
If she can get married and have the title of the crown prince's wife in the future, then her mother and younger brother will definitely not be bullied again?
Gu Xiang was about to stand up and speak, but was overtaken by Gu Yi. She saw Gu Yi stand up with a faint smile, stepped forward and curtsied, and said with a smile: "Since grandma said this, my granddaughter should be willing to share her worries.
"
Gu Ying was a step late and continued: "If the Marquis Wu'an Mansion likes my granddaughter, she will naturally be willing."
Gu Xiang was overtaken by Gu Yi. He secretly resented it and became a little anxious: "The same goes for my granddaughter."
Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang nodded lightly: "In that case, you should prepare well. Madam Wu'anhou will come to see you then."
The implication is that when the time comes, who can marry each other will depend on their abilities to see who can fall in the eyes of Mrs. Wu Anhou.
"Yes, grandma." The three girls looked at each other with different expressions.
Mrs. Jiang nodded, and then asked Mrs. Zhou: "Did the cloth store deliver this month's cloth?"
Mrs. Zhou replied: "It has been sent over. I just sorted it out yesterday. I was thinking of letting the girls choose. It is time to start making new clothes for this month."
The young men and girls of the Changning Marquis Mansion have a monthly salary. The girls are given a monthly payment of ten taels of silver, a piece of cloth, and a set of makeup. If the house orders jewelry, there will be additional jewelry to choose from.
Because the young men have to study outside and occasionally have something to eat or something with their classmates, they spend more. Therefore, the monthly salary is the same ten taels, but there are ten more taels for pen and ink, and a piece of cloth is also available.
There is also an embroidery workshop in the mansion. The girls can take the cloth to the embroiderer to help make clothes. They can make two sets of new clothes a month. If you are more favored, there may be an embroiderer in the yard to make clothes for the master.
Nowadays, in the Marquis of Changning's house, there are only two girls who have dedicated embroiderers. One is the eldest daughter, Gu You, and the other is the cousin, Xie Yixiao. These two are also the most talented in the house.
A girl from a wealthy family.
As Gu You is the eldest daughter of the Hou family, Zhou family naturally supports her a lot on weekdays, and Mrs. Jiang family also often gives her some things.
Although Xie Yixiao is a cousin, Zhou's aunt treats her well, and Gu You will give her some. Jiang feels sorry for her deceased daughter's only bloodline, and treats her more caringly than Gu You. What's the good thing?
Everything is tight to her.
In addition, there is the Xie family. She still has the monthly salary that the Xie family gives her every month. The Xie family may not have much affection for her, but she is a daughter of the Xie family and a legitimate daughter, so she should be given
All are given.
For this reason, the other girls in the house were so envious that their eyes turned green.
