After Wan Xing inquired about it for several days, Lin Weixi finally pieced together the truth about the dowry.
Gao Xi died of illness last year, and the King Yan's family had a great business, so naturally he would not be greedy for his daughter-in-law's dowry, so Gao Xi's dowry was handed over to the British government as it was. The British government had the idea of marrying a girl surnamed Gao again, and was very generous in the dowry. Later, the prince of the United Kingdom and Gu Chengyao reached a consensus and asked Gao Ran to marry him for the sequel. Then do bodyguard money.
Gao Xi is the eldest daughter of the government, and her own dowry is expensive, and her mother Wei has only her one child. Wei's dowry plus the dowry prepared by the British government, as well as private subsidies from the eldest Princess Shoukang, Gao Xi's net worth can be imagined.
Later, Gao Xi died of illness without leaving children. If the married daughter has no children, the dowry will be returned to the family. At that time, the matter of Gao Ran's re-marriage was already a certainty. If the British lady-in-law wanted to win over the in-laws of Prince Yan's mansion, Gao Ran's attitude was very important. The British lady-in-law bleeds heavily for this, and transferred most of Gao Xi's dowry to Gao Ran. , and another four new sets of head and face jewelry. However, in Gao Xi's dowry, there are still things from the Wei family. If it was an ordinary daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law of the British in-laws can directly call the shots, but Wei also has a princess, which is a bit tricky.
Wei's family has been dead for many years. She has a daughter under her knee. Gao Xi's dowry should be inherited by Wei's family, and her family has no right to recover it. The trouble is that Gao Xi also died at a young age, and she left no child interest. The British government was very uneasy when dealing with Gao Xi's estate. Although the eldest princess Shoukang has no successor in these years, she is seeing decline, but as long as Shoukang is alive for one day, then she is the coquettish guest of the royal family and the aunt of the current emperor. The decline of Princess Shoukang's mansion is the royal family's own business. If outsiders dare not give face to the eldest princess, then the royal family will not reason with you.
The British government was worried about this senior and senior princess, so she could only politely send a message to the princess' palace, asking how the eldest Princess Shoukang should deal with Gao Xi and even the dowry left by the Wei family.
The eldest princess Shoukang enjoys royal worship all her life. Although the Princess Mansion where Shoukang lives now has her title, but after her death, the Princess Mansion will be taken back by the Zongren Mansion, and it will be given to another princess after repairing it. It has nothing to do with the concubine and the concubine's family. . Princess Shoukang has no son, and Nuoda's family property will be returned to the state treasury after her death, so the dowry of married daughters is not as important as ordinary families.
If this is an ordinary concubine, after Gao Xi's death, Wei's dowry will be inherited by the concubine, even if this concubine has nothing to do with Wei or Princess Shoukang. But Gao Ran is the daughter of the Han family, the culprit who killed the Wei family in the first place, how could Princess Shoukang allow this bunch of sluts to take such a big advantage? Princess Shoukang sneered after receiving the letter, and immediately disregarded the face of her in-laws, and ordered the long history of her house to go to the British mansion. What she prepared for her granddaughter Gao Xi, a melon seed had to be brought back.
After many years, the princess's palace took back the dowry of the daughter-in-law. This means that it is too heavy to slap the face. The big family attaches the most importance to the face, and the eldest Princess Shoukang did this to slap the face of the British government in front of the whole capital. Throw it on the ground. The British lady was furious to death, but who made the family name Gu, the most noble of the family. The British lady-in-law was so angry that she didn't dare to do anything to Princess Shoukang except for scolding her son and daughter-in-law in private. Now that the in-laws of the two mansions have become enemies, the British husband and wife are also cold-faced, secretly saying who cares about the princess's mansion, they are dignified British mansions, can the Gao family's married daughter still be able to afford a dowry
Therefore, Gao Ran's dowry was the part prepared by the British government in Gao Xi's dowry, and some four seasons clothes and gold and silver jewelry were added later. Of course, these dowries can't be said to be bad, but they are only normal and expensive in the capital. female level. There are so many nobles in the capital like dogs, there are too many dukes and women who are favored by their parents and who later marry high, Gao Xi's dowry is simply sky-high in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of women of the same class, it is nothing more than that.
Wei is the only daughter, and Gao Xi is also the only daughter. The cumulative dowry of three generations cannot be underestimated, but Gao Ran has no financial support from his mother's family, and the dowry prepared by the British government is only mediocre. After all, the grandchildren of the British government are prosperous, and even if Gao Ran is married, she is no more than an out-married daughter. Can it be compared with the son and grandson of the government? However, if Gao Ran gets the financial power of her husband's family, Prince Yan's mansion, it will be another matter. No matter how deep the family background is, don't compare the wealth with the royal family. The day they can compare is most likely the day when the family is cut off.
After Lin Weixi learned that her mother Wei's dowry and her grandmother's privately subsidized farm land deed were all taken back by the Princess Mansion, she felt a long sigh of relief. That's good. The dowry given to her by the British government is the private property of the Gao family. They are willing to transfer it to Gao Ran. Lin Weixi has nothing to say and doesn't care much in his heart. However, the relics of his mother Wei Shi can't be touched by Gao Ran anyway.
His mother's belongings and his grandmother's belongings did not fall into Gao Ran's hands. Lin Weixi was extremely happy. For a few days, everyone was in good spirits at happy events, and even looking at Gao Ran's eyes became kinder. In this way, what Gao Ran got was far from what she had in the first place. Lin Weixi deeply regretted it and was extremely happy.
At this moment, thinking about Gao Ran's act of showing off his wealth a few days ago, Lin Weixi felt more and more ridiculous. Lin Weixi had an inexplicable smile all night, glancing at Gao Ran from time to time. Lin Weixi's movements were not deliberately concealed, Gao Ran was a little hairy for some reason, and even Gu Chengyao glanced at Lin Weixi several times strangely.
In the second half of the meal, Lin Weixi basically stopped touching the chopsticks, just poked at the rice in her own meal. After Gu Huiyan stopped, she immediately put the chopsticks away. Xu is because the chopsticks are too neat, so Gu Huiyan glanced here: "Eat well, don't giggle."
Lin Weixi was very dissatisfied with this sentence: "What is a smirk?"
The other servants in the room were shocked to the point of numbness when they heard this, and even Gu Chengyao was not surprised. The host girl Lin is a very special existence in the palace, no matter who offends, she can't offend Lin girl.
Sure enough, Gu Huiyan didn't care when he heard this kind of confrontation, but changed the subject and talked about another matter: "You will be removed from the service in May. It's not long before now. Are all related things ready?"
Lin Weixi pursed her lips and hummed. She didn't answer, but turned her face to look at Gu Huiyan: "I want to get rid of clothes in Prince Yan's mansion?"
Gu Huiyan glanced at her lightly: "otherwise?"
The people listening next to him were a little unable to stand. King Yan offered to do filial piety to Miss Lin, but Lin Weixi actually showed reluctance? Gao Ran's expression was not very good at that time. Lin Weixi was too fond of Qiao, and King Yan was also true. Why is such a hypocritical and pretentious woman so used to her? But when Gu Huiyan mentioned it like this, Gu Chengyao, who was sitting next to him, had no objection. Gao Ran smiled and agreed: "Missing filial piety is a major event. The fact that Miss Lin can get rid of her filial piety in the palace of Yan Wang is really related to the palace. I haven't dealt with the matter before, if there is anything I don't like, please forgive Miss Lin."
Gao Ran secretly buried a nail in his words. This is a polite sentence. Who knew that Lin Weixi would really answer: "Since the first concubine has never arranged a wedding or funeral, then forget it. It's not a big deal to get rid of the funeral, I myself The arrangement is enough, there is no need for the imperial concubine to study now."
As soon as these words appeared in the scene, Gao Ran did not expect that one of her polite words would actually be put on the line by Lin Weixi, her mouth stiffened, and she said to herself: "Although I am young, I am also guided by my grandmother and elders at home. She has handled some important things. Since Miss Lin lives in the palace, she is a distinguished guest of our family. Besides serving this kind of thing, how can we let you, the guest, prepare it yourself?"
"What's wrong, I'm the only one left in the Lin family. If I hadn't met His Royal Highness King Yan, what could I do?" Lin Weixi glanced at the side, she dared to respond to Gao Ran face to face, but she didn't dare Brushing Gu Huiyan's face. To put it bluntly, the decision-making power of this matter is still in Gu Huiyan's hands. Seeing Gu Huiyan's calm and calm expression, Lin Weixi did not reveal his emotions at all. Lin Weixi felt the invisible pressure and hurriedly said flattering words: "I have a relationship with His Royal Highness King Yan, It's not because I have a relationship with Prince Yan's mansion, it makes no sense to ask Prince Yan's mansion to help me with the removal of clothes. Your Highness, Prince Yan, do you think that's right?"
"Why is there no fate?" Gu Huiyan looked at Lin Weixi with an easy-going look, but what he said was completely different, "Is there any difference in your eyes between me and Prince Yan's mansion?"
"Of course there is a difference. Prince Yan is you, but Prince Yan's mansion is a family divided by the imperial court. If someone else in the manor instructs me, I will definitely ignore it, but if it is you, Prince Yan, then you can speak up, I will be full of heart and mind at the place. Don't quit."
Gu Huiyan finally laughed and glanced at Lin Weixi lightly: "You are the only one who can speak."
Lin Weixi knew there was a drama as soon as he heard it: "Then this is settled like this?"
"It's up to you."
Lin Weixi immediately smiled happily, and at the end did not forget to make a knife in the direction of Gao Ran: "Although the guest is at your own discretion, it is better not to bother the two of you if you can. No need to rush to learn, His Royal Highness Yan Wang has agreed. Now, I'll do it myself."
Gu Huiyan didn't forget to bring him at such a time, Gu Huiyan felt helpless and funny. This kind of little girl's mind is too far away from him. Gu Huiyan is used to being surrounded by blood-stained military newspapers, or cold court struggles. Suddenly, a little girl is pulled into his children's plans, as if he is also infected with Fireworks from another world. Although it is thin and shallow, it does not feel bad.
Gao Ran and Gu Chengyao were sitting together, and when Lin Weixi glanced at Gao Ran, Gu Chengyao could see it clearly. His upbringing and childhood experience told him that he should like gentle and generous women, and Gu Chengyao thought so for so many years. Lin Weixi ran counter to the virtues he expected from a woman. Gu Chengyao thought he would be bored, but when he actually encountered Lin Weixi's undisguised provocation, he found that he was not impatient, but was calm and somewhat helpless. It's like... pampering.
Gu Chengyao was taken aback by his own thoughts, and then he laughed at himself, what was he thinking about, Gao Ran was the destiny he was looking for. Now he is just tolerating Lin Weixi in every possible way because of his father's face.
The two male hosts showed a condoning attitude towards Lin Weixi, and Gao Ran immediately became unhappy. She thought in her heart that Lin Weixi did it on purpose, and deliberately did the opposite, attracting Gu Chengyao's attention, and then went further to pretend to be pitiful with Gu Chengyao. Gao Ran was so angry that his liver hurt, and his heart became more and more determined. He had to let Lin Weixi move out quickly. Prince Yan's mansion can only have her as a mistress, and there is no room for a second master.
The matter of Lin Weixi's removal of the clothes was settled in this way. Gu Huiyan said that Lin Weixi was to let Lin Weixi toss and toss himself, but later he still called in people to help her. Lin Weixi showed a little resignation, and Gu Huiyan said, "This is a manpower sent by me in my personal name. You don't mean that you don't want to accept the help of King Yan's mansion, but you don't reject King Yan."
Alright, Lin Weixi shut up obediently.
On the third day of the fifth lunar month, Lin Weixi took off her plain filial piety clothes and took off the finely broken white flowers on her hair bun. The three years of fatherly filial piety officially ended. Even so, Lin Weixi remembered the kindness of Lin Yong and the original body, and did not put on clothes such as bright red and rhubarb, but still wore a cool-colored shirt and skirt.
The eldest princess Shoukang also paid close attention to Lin Weixi's filial piety. It just so happened that it was the Dragon Boat Festival soon. The emperor and the empress dowager Qian went to Xiyuan to watch the dragon boat race, accompanied by royal family members and close officials. The eldest princess Shoukang asked someone to send new clothes and new jewelry early, and she was gearing up to dress up Lin Weixi, and then led her out to formally introduce her to the ladies and wives in the capital.
Lin Weixi looked at the Yunjin dress and sighed, but she couldn't bear to disappoint her grandmother, so she dressed up grandly according to Princess Shoukang's wishes.
How could Lin Weixi think that Princess Shoukang had the idea of dating her this time.
