Dowry
Everyone couldn't help being surprised, as Yufu was the queen of Beili, wasn't her dowry prepared by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs
Does Gu Huaijiang need to prepare another copy
Yu Fu also said: "General, dowry is not necessary. Even if you prepare it, you still have to send it to the mansion, isn't it unnecessary?"
"The dowry prepared for you is naturally for you, and will not be sent back to the mansion."
Gu Huaijiang said slowly: "With your current status, you can't marry according to the usual etiquette. After you get married, you must still live in the palace, and you can't be considered married. But Shubai, you still have to live in the palace after you get married. Fu's dowry will naturally also be sent to the palace."
"There is also a betrothal gift, which is naturally prepared to be sent to the palace."
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what Gu Huaijiang was planning.
Every marriage is counted as a member of Gu Hou's mansion. Gu Huaijiang has to prepare the dowry and dowry, but send them all to the palace. Doesn't this mean that all the property of the Gu family is sent to the palace
In the past, when marrying a daughter in Lin'an City, there was a saying of ten miles of red makeup. It said that a wealthy family used half of the family's wealth as a dowry for their daughter.
Based on Gu Huaijiang's love for Yufu, half of the family's wealth in the dowry may be considered a small amount.
Yu Fu glanced at Gu Shubai, making him dissuade Gu Huaijiang, but Gu Shubai just smiled and didn't speak.
Yu Fu looked at Gu Hanmo again, Gu Hanmo hadn't married a wife yet, and now he was distributing all of the Gu family's wealth for their marriage, so what will happen when Gu Hanmo, Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang get married
Gu Hanmo didn't move either, and even Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang didn't show any objection.
Yu Fu became anxious now, "General, how can there be any reason to prepare dowry and dowry? When the family moved to Beili last year, many properties in Dongling were not taken away, and the family was not well-off. If you are like this now, the third brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother will get married in the future, how can we do it without money?"
Gu Huaijiang looked at Gu Hanmo and the others in surprise, as if he remembered that they were not married yet, and there was still a lot of money to be spent.
Gu Hanmo: "..."
Once Yu Fu came, they were not their biological sons.
Yu Fu took advantage of the situation and said: "What's more, the marriage between Ji Kui and Yun Yan was simple at that time, the dowry and dowry were not discussed in detail, now it's just me and big brother, isn't it taking advantage of everyone?"
Yin Jixie hurriedly got up and said, "Yufu, don't say that. Father didn't treat us badly. I came here alone. Not only did father not dislike him, but he also gave me a lot of property. I have absolutely no grievances."
Su Yunyan also said: "Second sister-in-law and I are similar, Yufu, don't refuse. Eldest brother is father's eldest son, and you are father's most beloved daughter, as it should be."
Now it's all right, not only Gu Hanmo and the others have no objections, even Yin Jiyi and the others have no objections, Yu Fu has no choice but to persuade Gu Huaijiang.
Gu Shubai gently embraced her, "Father has a heart, so don't refuse."
Gu Huaijiang's intentions are always irresistible. When he makes a move, it will either be bird's nest and shark's fin and various precious supplements, or a rare work of art like Qibao Yingluo, or simply a house by the West Lake...
Yu Fu pursed his lips and smiled, feeling inexplicably moved, "Thank you General."
…
For Yufu's marriage, there was a heated discussion between the court and the court for a long time.
Knowing that Gu Huaijiang also came specially for Yufu's wedding, some ministers in the court proposed to appoint Gu Huaijiang as a general. If the former Dongling God of War can be kept in Beili, wouldn't it be easier to unify Kyushu
But Yufu directly rejected the proposal, she knew that it was already very difficult for Gu Huaijiang to come to Beili and the capital, so how can she give him a royal post
In his heart, he will always be from Dongling, and he will not accept the appointment of an official from a foreign country, no matter how high the glory is.
The court was also discussing Gu Shubai's official position. It is said that he had just been named a general after returning from this great victory. He was a military general in the court, second only to General Ouyang, and he had already been sealed.
He is young, so he can't surpass General Ouyang, who is a soldier in Beili, can he
But as a king, if there is no reward, there is no way to justify it.
Just when he was in trouble, Ouyang Qi took the initiative to ask for a demotion, intending to give up the position of general to Gu Shubai.
"Your Majesty, I'm not too young. I was forced to go to war in the past, and suffered from injuries. Now that the country is waiting for someone to come out, everyone can see the ability of General Gu. I am willing to give up this position."
Without waiting for the courtiers to discuss, Yu Fu still directly refused, "General Ouyang don't need to say any more, I will not agree to this matter. You have been a soldier in Beili all your life, if you say that I can give you a title and go home to raise you, it is not impossible. But I know that you still have a heart to serve the court, and you are still reluctant to leave the battlefield. If so, how can I have the heart to strip you of your position?"
Ouyang Qiyuan just wanted to give Yufu a step down, and instead of making her embarrassingly remove her position, it is better to take the initiative to resign.
He didn't want Yufu to refuse without even thinking about it, which was beyond his expectation.
Above the Golden Palace, Yu Fu stood up and said decisively: "When I just returned to Beili, I said that I will repay the courtiers who made sacrifices and contributions for Beili. General Gu's talent is indeed outstanding, but he can't surpass Ouyang at all." The general's contribution in the past. If I let you live under others, and others don't talk about it, I will feel ungrateful! Like General Ouyang, Bao Taifu, and Tian Taishi and others, no one will dare to discuss them against them from now on I will never tolerate this matter!"
With her words, Ouyang Qi finally put his heart back into his stomach, and those veteran ministers who served the court saw Yufu's determination.
The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden.
Now that she has stabilized Beili's situation, she has not become suspicious of the old ministers of the past, on the contrary, she is extremely respectful, and no one doubts her virtue of being a wise king.
Standing in the queue of courtiers, Gu Shubai raised his head and smiled at Yufu.
After the court was over, Ouyang Qi walked with Gu Shubai, subconsciously sizing up his expression. Seeing that Gu Shubai didn't look unhappy at all, he couldn't help being curious.
"I know you are not a person who strives for fame and fortune, but you and His Majesty are about to get married, and the wedding didn't mention your promotion, so you don't care at all?"
"I don't care, but I am very happy."
Ouyang Qi sighed helplessly, "It's no wonder that your family in Guhou's Mansion was squeezed out by Emperor Ning in Dongling. Look at you, how are you similar to those courtiers in Dongling? To be honest, I worked hard for half my life to get here. Even if you ask me to put it down for a while, I can't do it. But your father used to be the general of Dongling, but now he comes to Beili, but he would rather be dressed in white. I really admire and don't understand."
Gu Shubai smiled and said: "Father has his insistence. As for my happiness, it is because I don't want to use His Majesty to be promoted to a noble, and I don't want others to say that Gu Shubai got to where I am today because of a woman. I love her so I want to marry her not because of her status, nor because of any official position or power she can give me."
Ouyang Qi thought about it for a while, when he first came to Beili with Yufu, many people talked about him when they saw his good face.
On the contrary, his appearance has become a burden to him. He must try his best to show his talents to others in order to get rid of the suspicion of "little boy".
Ouyang Qi said: "If I knew you thought this way, I wouldn't have said those words just now. I thought that I have never known you in military matters, and I don't know you well enough. Fortunately, Your Majesty I didn’t agree just now, otherwise, wouldn’t I have done something bad with good intentions?”
Gu Shubai cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It is an honor for Shubai to be considered a confidant by General Ouyang. But don't worry, General, I know His Majesty will not agree."
"And why?"
He looked at the main hall behind him. After the court was over, everyone had already left, and Yufu had already left, leaving only the golden dragon seat on top.
He looked far away, with a slight smile on his lips, "Because she knows my heart, understands my intentions, and understands what I want."
As soon as Ouyang Qi was old, after listening to his words, he couldn't help but think back to the beautiful love in his youth and youth.
Gu Shubai came back to his senses, and smiled apologetically, "By the way, if General Ouyang is free, would you like to come to the mansion to have a talk? My father heard the name of General Ouyang, and he also wants to discuss with him."
Ouyang Qi's eyes lit up immediately, "I can't ask for it, please!"
…
The matter of promotion was no longer mentioned, but Ouyang Qi always wanted to do something for them in his private heart, and after much deliberation, he finally came up with a good solution.
"Your Majesty, please come to my Beili Xinde city to guard, and exchange Gu Jiuge back. After all, he is His Majesty's elder brother. If he is not present at such a grand ceremony as Jiji and the wedding, it would really not be complete."
Yu Fu was overjoyed when he heard Ouyang Qi's words, in fact, she had already planned to order someone to temporarily exchange Gu Jiuge back, but she didn't want to delay state affairs for personal reasons.
Not wanting Ouyang Qi to take the initiative to speak, Yu Fu thought for a moment and asked, "How is the wound that General Ouyang opened last year?"
"Very well, Your Majesty need not worry."
Ouyang Qi said with a smile: "The small problem in my lungs has been cured, thanks to your Majesty asking the two immortal doctors from Immortal Valley to treat it carefully. I have longed for the land of Dongling for a long time, please allow me to go and guard it. "
Since he said so, Yu Fu had no choice but to agree.
The decree of changing the general was passed on to Gu Jiuge, who was naturally happy, and hurriedly ordered people to hand over the matter, packed his bags and returned to Beijing.
In a short while the news spread, and even Dongling knew the news of Yufu's wedding.
In Lin'an City, Ning Chengzhi watched the singing and dancing drunkenly, and was stunned when he heard the message from the palace man. The wine glass touched his lips, but the wine flowed from his chin to his neck.
Sitting beside him, Concubine Li felt distressed when she saw this, "Your Majesty, you should have thought about today when she left, don't be sad."
She took out a veil from her bosom and wiped it for Ning Chengzhi, only to find that it was not only alcohol, but also tears that slid down his chin.
Concubine Li's hands trembled, she stood there in a dilemma.
Ning Chengzhi wasn't a good emperor, but he was a noble born emperor, even when the rebel army was about to hit Lin'an, Concubine Li never saw him shed tears like this.
Today, because of the news of Yufu's wedding, he shed tears without warning.
"Your Majesty..."
Concubine Li felt sore in her heart, she couldn't help but her eyes were red, and the veil in her hand that was supposed to wipe off the wine for him suddenly turned to cry for herself.
Seeing his abnormal state, the palace servants waved their hands quickly, the music stopped abruptly, and the figure of the maiko also stopped turning.
"Your Majesty..." Is this dance going to continue
Ning Chengzhi held the wine glass and stood up unsteadily, with tears in his eyes and a smile in the corners of his mouth.
The palace servants rushed forward and tried to support him, Concubine Li also got up from her seat and stood behind him to protect him.
"I did something wrong, I really did something wrong. If I knew this would end up like this from the beginning, I might as well personally marry them both. Why are they in this situation now..."
He staggered down the steps, his voice was weak, "I was really wrong, really wrong..."
Clang.
The bronze wine glass landed on the steps, whirled around twice, and finally fell silent, motionless. The fine wine in the cup has already spilled aside, and the mellow fragrance is overflowing—
But never put it back in the cup.
The insurgents retreating to the south also got news that Beili was married, and even the general guarding the northern city had been changed, which seemed to be an excellent timing.
But after inquiring carefully, he found out that the chief general in exchange was Ouyang Qi, the most respected general in Beili. He was not only a seasoned veteran, but also the one who suppressed Beili's civil strife with iron blood.
Compared with such an experienced general, the rebel army looked more and more like a mob, with no chance of winning.
Yin Shuo didn't care who Beili replaced as the main general, whether it was Gu Jiuge or Ouyang Qi, he had no intention of marching into a sneak attack.
Last time outside Lin'an City, Gu Shubai easily smashed all the vanguard army he sent to attack. From that moment on, he knew that the rebel army had no chance of winning.
Now it's just a day to day.
What he cared more about was that she was going to get married, and it really was Gu Shubai.
In the past, he thought that Yu Fu rarely saw strangers, and among the only young talents he saw around him, Gu Shubai was a top-notch one. In addition, the two of them had gotten along with each other in Guhou's mansion, so she would be unwavering in his steadfastness.
He had hoped that after Yufu returned to Beili, he would change his identity and environment, and be able to fall in love with other people—
Even if that person is not Yin Shuo, as long as it is not Gu Shubai, he will be happy in his heart.
But until now, it is still Gu Shubai.
He is destined to be defeated by Gu Shubai in this life, whether he was in Dongling in the past, or he is facing each other now...
In a trance, he saw Princess Danyang walking towards him.
She was wearing a bright red wedding gown, nine phoenix gold hairpins on her head, and festive rouge on her face, "Don't be sad, husband, she married someone else, and I will marry you."
Yin Shuo didn't know if he was dreaming or if the soul of Princess Danyang really came back.
After he feigned death and left Lin'an, he often saw Princess Danyang. Since he went back to the valley to see her tomb, she appeared more frequently.
Is this a dream or is it real
Yin Shuo didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but now he would rather believe that it is true, "Danyang, you are already dead, do you still want to marry me?"
"Think, if I marry you in this life, I will marry you again in the next life. But when I marry you again in the next life, you must remind me of one thing."
She took off the phoenix hairpin from her head, took a comb from somewhere, and combed continuously along the long black hair like a waterfall.
"One comb to the end, two combs of white hair to match the eyebrows, three combs full of children and grandchildren, and four combs of silver bamboo shoots to make the mark..."
She sang a song about combing her hair, her voice was faint like a ghost—no, she is a ghost now, and she is no longer Princess Danyang.
She did not know how many times she combed and sang, and when she looked up she smiled and said to him: "My husband will remind me in the next life, don't forget to sing the hair combing song, okay?"
Yin Shuo didn't answer her.
The hair-combing song is sung by the bride at home on her wedding day while combing her hair. Even if she can still marry me in the next life, I can't remind her.
What's more... He doesn't want to marry her in the next life.
Even if he can't marry Yufu, he doesn't want to marry Danyang again.
Before she was alive, he had said such cruel words too much, but now he just said: "It doesn't matter if you sing or not. You didn't mean that Kun Yuyang sang the hair-combing song when he was married, so that he could be with her." Is Ning Xuan affectionate? Now that Ning Xuan is dead, you don't have to envy them."
The people Princess Danyang was most jealous of during her lifetime were Yu Fu and Kun Yuyang.
Yin Shuo thought that saying this would make her happier, but Princess Danyang's face was pale, and two lines of blood tears were shed in her eyes, "It turns out that even after singing the song of combing hair, the husband and wife can't grow old in love? Husband, how can I do it?" How about being in love with you forever?"
She rushed towards Yin Shuo, he was startled and immediately opened his eyes.
It turned out to be a dream.
He looked around the room, only to feel that the room was dark, and every dark corner might hide the ghost of Princess Danyang.
There were footsteps outside the house, clack, clack.
He immediately grabbed the quilt under him, his veins bulging from nervousness, but he saw his trusted subordinate walking in.
"My lord, there's news from Xikun."
