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

"Did the prince say anything?"

"He just said that I should agree, and his eyes showed determination." Gu Shaoyu said, "1000 million strings of cash is too big, I won't agree."

He is the youngest minister in the court and it is impossible for him to be kidnapped by anyone.

Xie Zhaozhao pondered for a while, and she was sure that, at least for now, the prince had not yet proven that "Tu Qianyue" was Guan Yingying.

Given Guan Yingying's personality and her pride, she definitely doesn't want to be the "Guan Yingying" of the Guan family, and Gu Chengyan will definitely never admit that she is Guan Yingying.

Therefore, the prince was just suspicious and testing Gu Shaoyu, which was nothing to be afraid of.

"If I can take the lead in opening up trade routes to the south, or even Xiandou, will the court compete with the people for profits?" she asked Gu Shaoyu.

"No! According to what the prince said, even if the court spends 1000 million taels of silver to open an inland trade route, Your Majesty will not consider this trade route within three to five years."

If the imperial court decided to open a trade route, it would save silver in a planned way. After saving for three to five years, an extra 1000 million taels of silver would be saved before the plan could be implemented.

In three to five years, Xie Zhaozhao's business routes should be complete and he should have earned all the money he deserved.

The people of Daqian had already received fresh supplies, so it made little sense for the court to spend a large amount of money to open up trade routes.

Seeing her relaxed look, Gu Shaoyu said, "I have saved some money over the years. I will give it to you later to help you with your business."

Xie Zhaozhao was very curious about how he had private money. The Marquis’s family must be so poor that they have to eat dirt, right?

"Then ask Mo Yan to go to the Marquis' Mansion to get it tomorrow?"

"No need, I'll ask Nanxing to bring it over."

Xie Zhaozhao was not polite. The Marquis's Mansion was almost bankrupt, but the elder still hid his private money and gave it to her. This made her happier than earning millions.

Unconsciously, she treated him as her own, and she didn't want to use his money, no matter how much, to subsidize that scumbag family.

Not long after Gu Shaoyu left, Nanxing came over and handed her a box.

He also reminded her: "Miss, this money is from the private vault of the elder and has nothing to do with the Marquis's Mansion."

This means that you are telling her not to tell anyone and not to let anyone in the Marquis' Mansion know, right?

When Xie Zhaozhao opened it, he found that there were 30 taels of silver notes inside.

She counted it several times and found that it was 30 taels.

Wow, Lord Gu actually hid 300,000 taels of private money. He is really an expert at hiding money.

His salary shouldn't be that high, right? How could he have so much money?

Corrupt?

However, she felt that Gu Shaoyu was not the kind of person who would embezzle money, so the 30 taels were a reward from the emperor?

***

The entire capital city suddenly became much quieter during this period, and many of the dandies in the Colosseum were wondering: "Where is Yin Er?"

"Li Er, I haven't seen you for a long time."

They stopped Zhou Lingyin and asked him if he knew where Yin Jinan and Li Yunmu had gone.

Zhou Lingyin spread his hands and said, "I don't know. I'm very motivated now! I study hard in the academy every day. Maybe I will be the top scorer in the next imperial examination~"

The playboys rolled their eyes and said, "I don't believe you at all!"

In a blink of an eye, it is the seventh day of July, the wedding day is approaching.

The entire Xie Mansion was decorated with lights and colors again.

There is an endless stream of people coming to add makeup.

The Xie family's marriage of their eldest daughter was naturally very solemn, and they held banquets to entertain relatives and friends for five days, three days before the wedding and two days after the wedding.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, people from all the mansions come to add dolls to the two legitimate daughters.

Xu is now the mistress of the Xie family, in charge of household affairs, but Miss Xie is the younger sister of the next head of the family, and Xie Yu treats his sister as if she were the apple of his eye, so everyone wants to curry favor with Xu, but they dare not look down on Xie Zhaozhao.

Each branch and each family in the clan gave the two young ladies exactly the same dowry.

The Imperial Concubine Xi in the palace asked the head maid to bring dowry gifts to her two nieces. She did not show favoritism and gave them both identical gifts.

However, Xie Anfeng loved his daughter, Xie Yu loved his sister, and Aunt Xu loved the young lady, so they gave all the dowry left by Xie Zhaozhao's mother to Xie Zhaozhao.

How could Xie Zhaozhao take everything with her? Except for the farm and shop that she used to manage, she left everything else to her brother.

In the mansion, the dowries given to the two young ladies by the Duke were almost identical, with each receiving 60 loads of dowry.

The rest depends on my mother.

How does Xie Xiangxiang compete with Xie Zhaozhao? What can they use to compete?

On the day of adding the dowry, Xu Huanzhang, the head of the Xu family and a famous scholar in Daqian, also came with his wife and son.

He is Xie Zhaozhao's uncle.

Naturally, it was to add dowry to Xie Zhaozhao. Xie Xiangxiang and the others didn't care. Although Xu was also a daughter of the Xu family, she was a concubine's daughter, and Xu Huanzhang didn't even want to do a face-saving job.

Six loads of dowry were added to Xie Zhaozhao's wardrobe, which included gold, silver, jewelry and banknotes, real hard goods.

Her aunt grabbed her hand, feeling happy but also sad: "You were such a small girl before, but now you are going to get married. I feel relieved when I know you are going to marry Lord Gu. My sister's spirit in heaven should be relieved."

Uncle Xu Huanzhang pinched his beard, quite proudly: "Zhao Zhao, the Xu family is very satisfied that you can marry my disciple."

Only then did Xie Zhaozhao know that Xu Huanzhang was actually Gu Shaoyu's mentor who had taught him for ten years.

"Uncle, how did he become your disciple?" Xie Zhaozhao was very surprised. This was a secret that was kept too secret.

"Back then, the Marquis of Pingyang was a rough soldier who could not read a single word. He doted on this youngest son and knelt at the gate of Xu's house, repeatedly praising the youngest son for his intelligence and begging me to teach him. I was pestered by him so much that I agreed to ask about the child's knowledge."

Xu Huanzhang said, "This child is extremely intelligent. Not only does he have a photographic memory, but he can also draw inferences from other cases. He is even smarter than your older cousin."

The old marquis was a peasant, but he was honest. He kept asking Man Daqian who was the most knowledgeable. He heard that Xu Huanzhang was a great scholar and there was no one more knowledgeable than Xu Huanzhang in Daqian, so he kept chasing him.

Xu Huanzhang didn't accept him at that time, not because he disliked his background, but because Gu Shaoyu was only three years old at the time. How smart can a three-year-old child be? It was just that the old marquis doted on his son.

But the old marquis was very persistent. He knelt in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer. Finally, he moved Xu Huanzhang and accepted Gu Shaoyu.

Who knew that this teaching would last for ten years, that he would give everything he knew, accept a genius, and train a young minister.

However, Xu Huanzhang was afraid that someone in the royal family would imitate the old marquis, so he made an agreement with the old marquis and Gu Shaoyu not to say that they were his disciples.

Many years ago, Xu Huanzhang fell seriously ill and withdrew from the court. Later, Emperor Hui went to visit him once. It was unknown what the emperor and his minister talked about, and then Xu Huanzhang retired.

Now my cousin Xu Wenrong is also famous all over the world, but he does not take up a job as an official. Instead, he works as a teacher in the Xu family's private school.

Xie Zhaozhao was talking to the Xu family when Xu Li ran back happily from outside and looked for Yuanyuan and Manman in the yard.

"Sister Yuanyuan, I'm almost dying of anxiety."

It was the seventh day of July, and the weather was extremely hot. Xu Li was fat to begin with, and he almost became a water ball.

Yuanyuan scolded, "Everyone is here to help the young lady with her makeup today, why are you making such a fuss?"

"Sister Yuanyuan, Master Yin and Master Li are back. They are here to add makeup to the young lady!"
