Chapter 668 Lu Qingqing's Dowry
He Feng saw her mother's expression, smiled and handed her a piece of roast chicken, saying, "Mom, try it first and see if it tastes the same as what you ate when you were a child."
She brought her mother to the capital to enjoy a good life, not to let her come here to be sad when seeing the things.
Mrs. He smiled and looked at He Feng, and said, "You guys eat it too. It tastes better when you eat it while it's hot."
Lu Jianan was the happiest. After hearing what his grandmother said, he immediately started to eat the roast chicken leg.
"Well, it's delicious, grandma, it's so delicious!" Lu Jianan's words were slurred, and his cheeks were full of roast chicken.
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and they finished the two plates of roast chicken in no time.
"Xiao Cui, tell the people in the kitchen to buy two more roast chickens tomorrow." Gu Yunxi ordered with a smile. This roast chicken was the most delicious she had ever eaten. The taste was so unique that she didn't even want to waste the juice.
Xiao Cui stood aside and nodded quickly in agreement. There was also a roast chicken in the kitchen, which was a reward from the young lady to the servants.
After the masters had finished their meal, Xiao Cui returned to the kitchen and asked Mrs. Ying to cut the roast chicken into pieces and share them with the servants.
Everyone who had eaten it said it was delicious. The servants all asked Xiao Cui where she bought the roast chicken. However, when they learned that one roast chicken cost one or two taels of silver, the servants looked embarrassed.
Forget it, it’s too expensive and we can’t afford it. Their monthly salary is only one or two taels.
Xiao Cui also silently touched the purse around her waist, which contained two taels of silver, which was her monthly salary for last month.
After washing up in the evening, Gu Yunxi started drawing on the desk, while Lu Jianchuan read a book beside her. Neither of the couple spoke, and they were busy with their own things in silence.
Gu Yunxi was so engrossed in drawing flowers that she drew until the hour of Hai. It was not until Lu Jianchuan yawned repeatedly that she reacted.
"Achuan, what time is it?" Gu Yunxi couldn't help but yawn and asked.
Lu Jianchuan smiled and said, "It's three quarters past midnight. Have you taken a rest?"
"Okay, okay, you go to bed first. I'll tidy up and go to bed." Gu Yunxi hurriedly urged him to go to bed. After all, Lu Jianchuan still had to go on duty early tomorrow morning.
But it’s different for me. If I don’t sleep well tonight, I can still take a nap tomorrow morning.
After thinking about it, I feel happy that I don’t have to go to work diligently every day like in my previous life!
Gu Yunxi packed up, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep with a smile on her face. When she woke up in the morning, Lu Jianchuan was no longer in the bed. Gu Yunxi was used to it.
After getting up, washing and having breakfast, she went to see the children before preparing to go out to the yard to see Mrs. He and Mr. He.
She still had a lot to ask Mr. He about business matters and the management of the furniture shop.
However, when she walked out of the door, she saw servants carrying box after box of things into the yard, and she didn't know what they were.
"Xiao Cui, what is this for? What's in the box?" Gu Yunxi asked Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui hurried forward and explained with a smile: "Young Madam, these are all prepared for Miss Qingqing by Madam. She said they are the dowry prepared for Miss Qingqing."
Qingqing's dowry? Yes, Gu Yunxi suddenly remembered that Qingqing had set a date for the wedding in early May. Counting the days, it would be these few days.
I went back to my hometown and almost forgot about it when I came back!
She had prepared a set of exquisite patterns for Qingqing in the morning. The pattern was a picture of magpies on plum trees. It looked very beautiful after it was embroidered on a folding screen.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunxi gave a few instructions to the servants, turned around and went out to the largest treasure house in the capital.
There was basically nothing bad in the Treasure Pavilion. Gu Yunxi picked out a few items, one of which was a pair of gold and jade headpieces, which cost her three thousand taels.
In addition, she also bought a pair of jade bracelets, a pair of hairpins, a pair of earrings, and several hairpins, made of gold, silver and jade.
The shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion couldn't stop smiling. Seeing that Gu Yunxi looked unfamiliar, he originally thought that she was just here to look around the shop and at most pick up some simple hairpins or something like that.
Unexpectedly, this unfamiliar lady was so generous. She spent nearly ten thousand taels on the things she bought from their Treasure Pavilion.
"Which house are you from, ma'am? Shall I have the things delivered to your house?" the shopkeeper said with a smile.
On the one hand, he really wanted to leave a better impression on Gu Yunxi, and on the other hand, he also wanted to know which family Gu Yunxi was from.
Gu Yunxi smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need, my servants can carry this little thing."
After saying that, she told Xiao Cui to take all the jewelry she had bought, settle the bill, and then turned around and left the Treasure Pavilion.
The treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion smiled, personally escorted Gu Yunxi to the door, and said, "Madam, take care. Come back if you need anything."
Gu Yunxi smiled at him, took Xiao Cui across the busy street, walked towards the embroidery shop, and entered the shop.
Gu Yunxi glanced behind him and curled the corners of his mouth.
None of these businessmen are stupid. The owner of the Treasure Pavilion may not have any bad intentions, but he sent someone to follow her to find out her identity? She refused to let him!
Achuan is still a seventh-rank editor in the Hanlin Academy. Their Lu family is not well-known in the capital. She spent a lot of money to buy so many things, and she was also worried about being targeted.
It’s better to be careful, Gu Yunxi thought, and took Xiao Cui to the back of the embroidery shop, quickly changed clothes, and quietly slipped out through the back door.
The master and servant returned to the Lu family with ease. The servants were still moving wooden boxes. He Feng was directing them from the side. Seeing Gu Yunxi coming back, He Feng hurried over.
"Yunxi, can you help me check these porcelain vases? Are they of good quality? I heard that when people in Beijing marry off their daughters, they buy porcelain vases. So, I asked your father to order a batch a few days ago."
He Feng's face was full of joy, but also a little conflicted. As her daughter's wedding day drew closer, her heart became more nervous.
Once you get married, you belong to someone else's family, and when you come back, you are a guest.
In the future, my daughter will have her own husband and children, and the focus of her life will revolve around her husband and children. As a mother, it is a luxury for me to get along with my daughter like I do now.
Gu Yunxi smiled, walked forward and opened one of the boxes, only to see that it was filled with vases neatly arranged inside.
The porcelain vase with exquisite patterns shines bright white under the sunlight and looks very delicate.
Gu Yunxi gently took out one of them, put it in her hand, and felt the smoothness and coolness of the porcelain bottle. She smiled and said, "Mom, where were these porcelain bottles made? They feel really good!"
He Feng smiled and said, "Your father went out to order it. Mo San took him there and said it was the most famous kiln in the suburbs of Beijing."
"Your father ordered a total of 300 pieces of porcelain, including porcelain bottles, porcelain bowls, porcelain basins, etc., and spent a total of more than 800 taels of silver."
