Reborn to be replaced, remarried to the royal palace to raise children and train husband

Gu Qinlan asked, "Where are the things that Song gave me when I got married now?"

On that day, Song bought some dowry for her, but she did not examine them carefully. Given Song's character, she did not expect that she would give her any precious gifts.

A gleam of light flashed in Fu Yu's eyes: "Those items are properly stored in the warehouse, Miss, I will go get them now."

Soon, Fu Yu led two maids and carried a heavy box into the room. When the lid of the box was opened, Fu Yu could not help but frown slightly.

The box was filled with some old-fashioned jewelry and outdated fabrics, all of which were out of date in style and color.

The total value of these items is probably difficult to estimate.

Gu Qinlan knew Song's character very well, so she never took the box of items seriously.

However, at this moment, this box of items found a use.

"When you go to make up tomorrow, take this box of items with you."

Fu Yu seemed a little hesitant: "Miss, is this box of items too shabby to be sold?"

The total value of these items is estimated to be no more than two hundred taels.

Gu Qinlan responded calmly: "Since she can give this to me, why can't I give it to my sister?"

Fu Yu burst out laughing immediately.

It does!

Generally speaking, when elders give dowry to younger generations, the etiquette must be higher than gifts between peers. Who can accuse the young lady of doing something inappropriate when she takes out all these items?

If someone dares to say it is inappropriate, wouldn't it be tantamount to questioning the inappropriateness of the Song family's gift?

Would the Song family admit that they were inappropriate? Of course not.

So, at dawn the next day, Gu Qinlan took the maid and the box and returned to the Gu family in a carriage.

At this time, the lights in Gu's house were bright, colorful flags were flying, and the stage in front of the door had been built. The humming and humming of the opera attracted many ordinary people to watch. There was also a continuous banquet outside the door, which started yesterday and will last for three days.

Fu Yu was indignant: "Last month, when our young lady got married, the scene was never so grand? Young lady is marrying into the Duke of Duan's mansion! Second young lady is only marrying a scholar, why is there such a lavishness? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for not knowing your limits?"

Gu Qinlan chuckled: "I don't take it to heart, why are you so angry?"

Fu Yu pursed her lips and said, "They don't value Miss, and I feel unfair."

Gu Qinlan comforted him, "What's that? It's just some empty show. Sometimes, the bigger the show, the deeper the constraints."

As many people as are watching the wedding of Gu Qinlian and Ji Yinli today, there will be as many people waiting to laugh at them in the future.

If you don’t believe it, let’s wait and see.

When the doorman saw Gu Qinlian's carriage arriving, he hurried out to greet her.

"Aunt, the palace is busy today and the carriage cannot drive in. Please get off and walk in."

Gu Qinlan was not displeased. After getting off the car, she walked towards the main gate of the Gu Mansion, followed closely by the maids carrying boxes. The gatekeeper immediately announced loudly: "The Prince Duan's Mansion is adding dowry for the eldest aunt."

The guests inside the door turned around and looked back when they heard the sound.

The number of guests who came to the Gu family to congratulate today even exceeded the grand occasion on Gu Qinlan’s wedding day.

The whole courtyard was filled with guests of various identities, including officials from Jindu and ordinary businessmen.

Gu Qinlan walked into the mansion with a calm smile and graceful manner.

Seeing this, Gu Zhongyu stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here alone? Where is your mother-in-law?"

He hoped that the Zheng family could send more people to highlight the status of the Gu family.

Gu Qinlan replied: "Mother-in-law went to the temple to pray for the prince not long ago."

Although Gu Zhongyu felt depressed, he did not show it obviously: "Go to Qin Lian's residence quickly. You sisters have always had a deep relationship. Although you will each marry someone else in the future, you must visit each other often and take care of each other."

Gu Qinlan smiled gently and agreed softly, "Of course, that's beyond doubt. Then I'll have to trouble my daughter to go ahead and add some makeup for my sister."

She bowed politely to Gu Zhongyu, then led the servants straight to Gu Qinlian's courtyard.

At this time, Gu Qinlian's courtyard was bustling with laughter and joy, and many prominent ladies and celebrities in Jindu City gathered together.

When Gu Qinlan got married, the courtyard was deserted and lonely. She didn't like going out, and the Song family deliberately kept her behind the scenes, so she had almost no social life and few close friends.

Unlike Gu Qinlan, Gu Qinlian was lively and active by nature, and liked the hustle and bustle of life. The Song family was also happy to let her make friends, so she was quite popular in Jindu City and had many friends. Today was her big day, and people who had some friendship with her came to add to her makeup.

As Gu Qinlan stepped into the courtyard, she immediately attracted the attention of many ladies and young ladies.

A merchant's wife who was good at socializing hurried forward and saluted: "Greetings, Madam Crown Prince."

Gu Qinlan recognized her. She was Mrs. Tu, an influential merchant wife in Jindu City. Her husband ran a prosperous business.

Gu Qinlan nodded with a smile: "Madam, you are too polite."

Despite her young age, she was one of the highest-ranking women in the court thanks to her husband Zheng Dinglian's official position.

Led by Mrs. Tu, other ladies also saluted Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlian was dressing up inside the house when she saw the scene in the courtyard. She couldn't help but clench her fists in anger.

"This cunning woman! She stole the limelight on my wedding day!"

A girl with narrow eyes and thin cheeks rolled her eyes and whispered to Gu Qinlian.

This is Gu Qinlian’s close friend Sheng Mimi. Her father is a legal advisor in the government office and is a well-known figure in Jindu City.

Gu Qinlian smiled when she heard this: "Of course I do. What's your trick?"

Gu Qinlan signaled to the maid to place the box of makeup on the place where the gifts were hung.

Fu Yu handed the box to the steward and explained: "This is a gift from the eldest lady to the second lady as a dowry. Here is the gift list."

She handed over the gift list.

Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly reached out and snatched the gift list away.

Sheng Mimi said loudly with a provocative smile: "Let me see what kind of gift our Crown Prince's Consort has prepared for her sisters?"

She unfolded the gift list, glanced at it, and then burst into laughter: "Oh my God, Gu Qinlan, you are now a member of Prince Duan's Mansion. Even if you don't like Qin Lian, you shouldn't be so stingy, right? How can you afford such a shabby gift?"

Her voice was so loud that the ladies in the courtyard turned their heads.

The gossiper deliberately asked, "Miss Sheng, what kind of gift could make you lose your composure like this?"

Sheng Mimi was even more proud, cleared her throat, and listed loudly: "A set of gold and jade headdresses, a gold enamel nine peach incense burner, a set of dragon and phoenix auspicious sterling silver headdresses, a pair of jade ruyi, a set of Runan official kiln tea sets, and five pieces of silk."

"How can you come up with such a small amount of stuff?"

Gu Qinlan smiled calmly: "Miss Sheng, do you think the dowry I prepared is too meager?"

Sheng Mimi raised her chin slightly, her expression proud: "Of course, as a distinguished prince's consort, you only gave these meager things to buy dowries for your sisters. Are you looking down on Qin Lian, or are you underestimating the majesty of our Prince Duan's Mansion?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ladies in the yard changed their gazes and looked at Qin Lan with strange eyes.
