Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Xie Zhaozhao guessed that he must be saying something to the person at the wordless tablet in his heart.

Maybe it has something to do with him, maybe it has nothing to do with him, but no matter what, she is a very important person to him.

She solemnly promised in her heart: "Although I don't know who you are, but you are respected by my husband so much, I also respect you very much."

After they finished offering incense, they didn't stay long and went out again, and Aunt Cui followed them out.

Only then did Xie Zhaozhao realize that there was an old lady in monk's robes sitting in the corner of the hall.

Liu Yiyi has packed up and everyone is returning to the city.

As soon as they came back, Taxue came to inform Xie Zhaozhao that the old lady said she would attend a palace banquet tomorrow, so they should discuss it again.

Gu Shaoyu frowned and said, "Hasn't this been discussed long ago? What else is there to discuss?"

Taxue didn't dare to say more. Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said to Gu Shaoyu, "What if mother has something wrong? I'll go check on her. You take a rest first."

When they arrived at Ci'en Temple, the old lady, Mrs. Tu, the second lady Mrs. Lu, and Xie Xiangxiang were all present.

For grand banquets like the New Year's Eve Palace Banquet, the mistress would bring her legitimate daughter to attend, while concubines and illegitimate daughters were not eligible to attend.

The old lady reminded them again not to make any mistakes tomorrow, and finally said: "Your uncles have all returned to Ouyang, only your cousin Zhi Baiju stayed in the capital, studying at the Luyi Academy in the north city, and the three sisters Zhi Yaoyao followed your second aunt and several cousins ​​to stay in the north city to take care of them..."

When she had said this, she looked at her three daughters-in-law and Xie Xiangxiang.

No one said a word, and anger appeared on Lu's face.

Xie Zhaozhao's expression didn't even change.

The old lady protected her family, she knew this in her previous life.

In her previous life, Gu Chengyan used her dowry to make a fortune from the Grand Canal project and natural disasters. The Marquis' Mansion had no shortage of money and could support the entire Zhi family without any pressure. The Zhi family had been living in the mansion and had never returned.

Eat her and drink her, and when you are full, scold her for not laying eggs.

The word "filial piety" weighed on her for her entire life.

It’s impossible in this life!

"There were several young ladies from official families who were unable to attend the talent show at the palace banquet. Zhi Yaoyao and her three sisters were very talented, so the Empress showed mercy and allowed them to perform in the palace. It was a good opportunity for them to broaden their horizons."

Mrs. Lu found it ridiculous and infuriating. What kind of people are the Zhi family?

Second Uncle Zhi and Zhi Baicheng almost ruined the innocence of Gu Huanhuan and Gu Xixi, and even brought members of the Zhi family into the palace?

I couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Mother, I don't have a broad mind like you. I can take anyone with me, but not my family members."

The old lady became sad: "My last name is Zhi too! Who told them to be my relatives? You will understand when you reach my age. When you get old, you will miss the old times and your relatives."

Tu said to comfort her: "Don't be sad, mother. I will bring them to the palace tomorrow."

Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "I have to dine with the Empress in the palace, so it is inconvenient to bring anyone."

First-rank imperial decree! Xie Zhaozhao's status is too high for the three sisters of the Zhi family to reach.

It's like if you want to ask for directions, you can just find a peddler, or even a local gangster, it's better than going to the palace to ask the emperor.

The old lady wept and said, "They live in a dilapidated temple in the north city. It's winter... They don't even have a decent piece of clothing to wear when they enter the palace. There's no time to prepare anything on the spot."

Tu added fuel to the fire and said, "Don't be sad, mother. Yan'er has worked hard to get the chance to enter the palace. You have done your grandfather a good job."

“Alas, if the three of them perform well at the palace banquet and get lucky, they will definitely be grateful to those who helped them.” The old lady said while looking at Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao said nothing and asked you to continue acting.

The old lady had no choice but to call out, "Madam San, you have to wear the imperial court dress at the palace banquet, so can you lend your clothes to these sisters?"

Tu and Xie Xiangxiang both looked at Xie Zhaozhao.

You can't stand it anymore? I thought you guys would continue to perform for a while.

She asked calmly, "How much does mother-in-law need?"

The old lady's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Tu.

Tu said: "Each of the three sisters has a set of clothes, plus a cloak and hood, a pearl hairpin or a crown..."

She listed them one by one, and seeing Xie Zhaozhao's eyes were as calm as water, Tu said, "Anyway, the three sisters will be returned to you when they come back. You dress them up neatly. If you are lucky enough to get a reward, I will make the decision and the reward will be yours."

Xie Zhaozhao didn't comment, and asked again: "What's a suitable price?"

The old lady and Mrs. Tu were almost madly excited. The Third Madam was very wealthy. Just listen to the price!

The old lady immediately said, "It doesn't have to be expensive, just something similar to the one you had for the Chrysanthemum Banquet will do."

Tu: "Yes, yes, that one is the most gorgeous and noble. Of course, forget about the ones I've worn before, because new clothes are always better for the palace banquet."

It had to be good and new. The clothing for the Chrysanthemum Banquet was made of the best and newest fabric in Jiangnan, and only a few bolts were available each year. Imperial Concubine Xi got two bolts and gave them all to Xie Zhaozhao.

The old lady and Mrs. Tu have good vision.

"Oh, that kind of material, paired with the colored glaze jadeite Ruyi step-shaking ornaments designed by Master Qu, the Hualu inlaid with night-shining pearls, and the hollow peony red coral headpiece... is most suitable for young girls to wear!" Xie Zhaozhao said, "A complete set of that kind costs more than 10,000 taels of silver."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes," the old lady and Mrs. Tu agreed strongly, "If we talk about vision, the third lady has the best vision."

The two men praised Xie Zhaozhao a lot and were eager to carry out a few boxes of Xie Zhaozhao's dowry.

Mrs. Lu was almost fainted with anger. Her daughter was only wearing a set of clothes worth dozens of taels of silver in the mansion, but the sisters of the Zhi family were wearing clothes worth more than ten thousand taels of silver!

I couldn't help it, and said to Xie Zhaozhao in a very unfriendly way: "You're not really going to lend it out, are you? They've all worn it, aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you wear it again?"

Who would want such luxurious clothes to be worn by someone else first? They wouldn’t even want to wear the same clothes as others, let alone wear the same clothes as someone else.

Xie Zhaozhao wouldn't be so stupid as to not understand this, right?

The old lady scolded Mrs. Lu: "It's okay if you don't want to help. The third lady is willing to help her relatives. This is a favor!"

"What's the word kindness? Do you think I'm a fool?" Lu hated the Zhi family and the Tu family so much that she was determined to ruin this plan.

The old lady immediately said to Mrs. Lu: "There is nothing to do here, you can go back first."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Wait a moment, sister-in-law, I will go back with you."

Tu suddenly felt bad and asked Xie Zhaozhao with a smile, "Should I ask someone to go to Qingpuyuan to get the clothes?"

Xie Zhaozhao asked in surprise: "What?"

"Sister-in-law, mother, you don't want me to lend out my dowry, do you? The elder told me that he would never touch my dowry!" Xie Zhaozhao said in astonishment, "I definitely won't lend out the dowry from my parents' side."

The old lady and Mrs. Tu were stunned: "Why did you ask so many questions just now?"

"I want to know clearly, do you want to borrow the clothes made in the mansion or my dowry? According to what my mother and sister-in-law said, the clothes and headgear would cost more than 10,000 taels of silver. The mansion has never made them for me, so I have no clothes to borrow."

The old lady and Mrs. Tu were stunned.

Xie Zhaozhao bowed straight and said, "Mother, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the courtyard first."

Mrs. Lu couldn't hold it in anymore, her bladder hurt from trying so hard to hold back her laughter!

At the hour of Mao the next day, the entire mansion became bustling with activity.

Xie Zhaozhao put on the court dress of a first-rank lady, and Gu Shaoyu watched without blinking.

"You look really good in court dress."

The golden crown was exquisite, beautiful, luxurious, elegant, and domineering! Although she had a gentle face, she still couldn't stop the overwhelming aura.

"I have to thank you for asking for the title for me." Xie Zhaozhao curled his lips, "I got this opportunity by following the elder."

"So marrying me is better than marrying someone else?"

"Well, there is indeed no one who can compare to you." In this life, this was the first time she was a lady of honor, and a first-rank lady at that.

Just as they were about to leave, Bei Chen called out cautiously at the door: "Lord!"

Gu Shaoyu stood up and walked to the door, and Bei Chen handed him an iron box.

"Open."

Bei Chen opened the box, and inside were three black sesame and walnut "pills" neatly arranged.
