Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

When they arrived at the main courtyard, Gu Xi smiled cleverly, "Mother, what do you want me to do?"

Seeing Gu Xiling's happy face, Song was in a better mood and handed over a list. "The things that the Queen gave to me and my mother, which we can use, will be kept. The rest of the gold, or anything else you can use, will be given to you."

"Ah?" Gu Xiling couldn't believe what she heard. Whether it was the tribute bestowed by the emperor or the gold, it was enough to increase her private money. "Mother, my daughter-in-law has a dowry and monthly allowance. I can't take all of these benefits."

It’s really a good thing!

Gu Xiling took the list, but spoke very modestly.

However, when she saw that there were many other things under the gift list, especially 20,000 taels of gold.

It almost blinded Gu Xiling's eyes!

It’s not that she hasn’t seen so much gold before, and it was delivered to her without any effort.

"Mother, this is a reward for the Marquis' Mansion and father. Why did you give it to me? I can't take it. Please take it back."

Song chuckled and patted Gu Xiling's hand gently. "You are such a good kid. If you hadn't gone shopping to buy corn seeds, how could Jin'er, my mother and I have received these rewards? In the final analysis, it's all thanks to you."

"Besides, if you hadn't discovered Aunt Bai's scheme in advance, the Marquis wouldn't have been safe, let alone captured Prince Ning and made merit. When the Marquis's mansion was besieged, you protected my mother and me. Everything was thanks to you."

"These rewards are given to you after discussion between my mother, the marquis, and me. If you don't want them, I will have someone bring them to you. Buy whatever you like, don't be reluctant. If you can't spend them all, then save them. If you have a daughter in the future, you can give them as a dowry for her; if you have a son, you can prepare a betrothal gift for him."

Since her mother-in-law said so, Gu Xiling certainly couldn't continue to refuse.

Gu Xiling bowed to Song and said, "Thank you, mother. You just dote on me too much and love me too much."

Song smiled and said in a gentle voice, "There are only five masters in our mansion. You and Jin'er are the youngest. Who should I pamper? Well, there is no shortage of money in the mansion, so just accept it."

"Yes, mother!" When Gu Xiling came back, she not only had a list of gifts in her arms, but was also followed by a dozen people carrying imperial gifts and gold back to Zizhuyuan.

Zhou Jin was reading under a tree. Seeing Gu Xiling's big show, he was quite surprised. "What's going on?"

Gu Xiling repeated Song's words, looking very excited, "I'm rich now, is there anything you want, my lord? I'll give it to you!"

Zhou Jin shook his head and laughed, "You don't have to give it to me. This is the private money given to you by your elders. Just keep it. I don't have any money, I'll withdraw money from the account. Besides, I'm not holding a poetry gathering now, nor am I going out for drinks with others, so I have less places to spend money."

Gu Xiling insisted, "No, everyone who sees it gets a share! Otherwise, I would feel bad if I took all the money for myself. After all, it's just talking, and it's the prince who did the work! The prince was even injured because of this, how can there be no reward at all?"

Seeing this, Zhou Jin also became interested, "Can I ask for a reward? My leg is really healed..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Gu Xiling hurriedly stopped him. Zhou Jin's legs had indeed improved a lot recently, but Doctor Liu said that he couldn't be careless. "If you don't want to become a cripple, you better behave yourself."

Zhou Jin felt hopeless and said pitifully, "My wife, don't you feel sorry for me?"

Feeling sorry for a man? You will be unlucky for the rest of your life!

As a woman, sometimes you should be a little tougher.

"I love you, so I won't let you do whatever you want." Gu Xiling said firmly, "I'm not one of those concubines who pleases men. I'm your wife and you're my husband. Everything is based on your health. You have to plan for the long term and not be too greedy."

Zhou Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He finally understood why men like messy women, because those women would coax men without principles.

"My lady is right!" Zhou Jin agreed.

However, seeing Zhou Jin's somewhat disappointed look, Gu Xiling decided to give Zhou Jin a "sweet date" and whispered in Zhou Jin's ear: "In the evening..."

"Really?" Zhou Jin's eyes lit up and his gaze was rippling.

"It's more real than real gold!" Gu Xiling blushed and stopped chatting with Zhou Jin and went to the warehouse.

Count her private money!

Having money to spend, spending it as you like, and never spending it all, life is really great!

After taking inventory of the warehouse, Gu Xiling asked someone to lock it and she took the key.

Madam Yuan asked, "Madam, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and we need to send a gift to the Jingyang Marquis's residence. Madam asked me to ask if you have any special instructions. If not, Madam will prepare according to the usual practice."

Gu Xiling was stunned. She didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Before she knew it, five months had passed since she got married.

But Gu Xiling felt that time passed very quickly and every day was interesting.

"No special request, just follow the custom. Mother just gave me so much private money, why not give the festival gift to the Jingyang Marquis's Mansion from my private treasury?"

Hearing this, Nanny Yuan shook her head and smiled, "The Crown Prince's wife is joking! How could she possibly touch the Crown Prince's wife's private vault when sending festival gifts and exchanging gifts?"

"Besides, if you use your private treasury to send festival gifts, what about the Marquis' wife? What about the old lady above? They all have their own families, and they have always used public funds throughout history!"

Hearing what Nanny Yuan said, Gu Xiling smiled and nodded, "Then I'll follow mom's advice and let mom make the arrangements!"

"That's right!" Nanny Yuan smiled, "If you are dealing with friends, you don't have to pay for small gifts with the official account. For example, when we visit relatives during the three festivals, we pay for them with the official account!"

"By the way, what did Madam tell us about the date of the festival gift to the Xie family? Madam, just now, you also asked this old servant to come and ask the Crown Prince's wife."

Gu Xiling thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "My sister is in great need of money, but we can't just give her money. We need to give her two hundred taels of silver in addition to her daily festival gifts!"

When Nanny Yuan heard this, she quickly responded, "Yes, Madam Crown Prince! I'll tell Madam Hou right away!"

After Nanny Yuan left, Xiulan pouted and said, "Madam, you are so kind. Let alone giving Miss Xirong two hundred taels of silver, even if you gave her two thousand taels of silver, she would not be grateful to you."

Gu Xiling laughed dumbly, "I don't need her to be grateful to me. I got so much gold, and I have to thank Sister Xirong for reminding me."

"Ah?" Xiulan scratched her nose, her eyes suspicious, "Madam, are you sure Miss Xirong was reminding you? She clearly wanted to make fun of you, but we were just one step ahead of her!"

Even the maid Xiulan could see it clearly!

Gu Xirong definitely doesn’t wish for Gu Xiling to be well, and even less does she wish for the Changning Marquisate to be well!
