Allure of a Country Maiden

When Mrs. Gu heard the footsteps, she quickly took out a jade bracelet that looked like it was not ordinary and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket. Then she quickly closed the jewelry box and ran out, locking the door.

At this time, the dowry bearers sent by Prince An's palace were led by Du Wei, the steward next to Du Zhongkai, and walked in across the Moon Gate.

The accountant just ran back.

Gu's heart was beating very fast. She tried her best to look as if nothing had happened and looked at the group of people walking over with a smile.

The accountant was shocked when he saw Mrs. Gu here: Why is Madam guarding here? Where is Xiaoyue?

But with people from the palace present, it was not convenient for the accountant to ask the questions in his heart, but a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Dewey was also a little surprised that Mrs. Gu appeared here at this time. The prince was already here, and the young lady immediately said goodbye to her parents. Why is she still here? But before he had time to think about it, he bowed to Mrs. Gu and said, "Madam, Prince An's Mansion has sent someone to carry the dowry."

The steward of Prince An's Mansion was a little surprised when he heard Dewey's name. Why was Du's wife guarding the door of the warehouse? But he didn't have time to think too much. The dowry must go before the wedding team. Most of the dowry is rare treasures or expensive jewelry, which cannot be touched. You need to be extra careful when carrying it. Mr. Du said there are a total of One hundred and thirty-eight to carry the dowry. It would take a lot of time to carry out such a large dowry, so he bowed to Mrs. Gu: "Mrs. Du, this is Furong, who is responsible for bringing people to carry the dowry of the Crown Prince's wife."

Gu's ancient work smiled calmly and nodded: "Here comes Mr. Laofu."

The third-rank official in front of the prime minister's door is much bigger than the official of my husband-in-law! Gu thought.

"I don't dare to call you madam, I'm just a servant running errands." Furong couldn't help but twitching his mouth after hearing this, and replied politely.

The accountant and Dewey also resisted the urge to hold their foreheads.

He is just a steward, why do you call him an adult? Too deliberately flattering!

"Your Majesty, you are humble!" After saying this, Mrs. Gu handed the key back to the accounting room: "Remember to count the dowry! Don't miss anything!"

The corner of Furong's mouth twitched again. Was he counting the dowry now? Shouldn't this work have been done long ago? Where can I get it now?

Gu felt guilty and did not dare to stay for a long time, so she left in a hurry without saying this.

Everyone just thought she was rushing back to the main courtyard.

The clerk suppressed his uneasiness, bowed to Fu Rong, and then opened the door of the warehouse: "Manager Fu, the dowry has already been paid one by one, please!"

"We have Mr. Lao Du." Fu Rong nodded, feeling relieved. He thought to himself: The wife of Du Mansion is really ignorant, she might as well be a cashier who understands etiquette! Mr. Du, this good cabbage is really eaten by pigs!

The thoughts in his mind flashed through his mind, and then he turned around and said to the servants of the palace behind him: "Be careful, don't bump into the princess's dowry when you carry it back to the palace."

"Yes!" The servants of the palace responded uniformly.

Dewey and the accountant looked at each other. The servants of the palace were really well-trained!

The palace sent more than two hundred people to carry the dowry this time. That was because Mr. Du said there were one hundred and thirty-eight to carry the dowry. Furong looked at the dowry in the room and saw that it was not enough! There were only ninety-odd ones here at most, and these looked like betrothal gifts sent by the crown prince, because the betrothal gifts were given by his boss, so he recognized them.

Furong remained calm, thinking in his mind whether to let some people go back quietly, otherwise so many people were sent to carry the dowry, but there were not so many dowry carryers. If outsiders saw this, it would be embarrassing! The Wang Mansion has no face, and the Du Mansion has no face either!

Furong knew that there were few servants in the Du Mansion and there were not enough people for today's wedding banquet, so the servants who helped greet the guests were all temporary workers hired from the dental shop. Those people were the most talkative!

He was just about to walk over and let the servants behind him leave quietly. At this time, Dewey walked to a nearby room and opened the door: "Manager Fu, the warehouse is too narrow to hold so much dowry. There is still part of the dowry in this room." . This is my lady’s dowry list. Please count it in pairs.”

After saying this, Dewey handed over a dowry list written on red paper with both hands.

Furong secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Fortunately, it was not a mistake. He took the dowry list and said with a smile: "Okay!"

He couldn't help but take another look at the original warehouse. Although it was indeed not big, compared to the several floors of the palace, it was really too small, but there was still a lot of space! Why are the dowries divided into two rooms? He just thought about this idea and did not delve into it.

Then he took the dowry list and counted it, watched the dowry being carried out one by one, and reminded everyone to handle it with care.

Mrs. Gu found a place to hide Meixia's jewelry, and then she hid in the dark and watched the dowry being carried away. Her heart was bleeding!

The time was too short just now! She didn't even have time to buy something good, what a loss!

After the ninety-nine dowry was carried away, Mrs. Gu just wanted to return to the main courtyard.

Then she saw loads of dowries tied with big red flowers being carried out of another room!

Gu's eyes widened! what happened? !

Only my husband owns the key to that room, and no one other than him has ever entered in all these years!

She asked her husband, and he said that it was the small Buddhist hall where Du Yijin's mother lived before she was alive, and her tablet was enshrined inside. If she wanted to see it, she could go in and pay homage.

After hearing this, how could she be willing to go in?

It turned out that Du Zhongkai had lied to her! That room is not a small Buddhist temple at all, it is also a warehouse!

snort! She said that she would use all the Du family's property to subsidize her natal family and pay off Gu Honggen's gambling debts! It turns out they were all lies to her!

Du Zhongkai has been guarding against her for a long time! Before she got married, there were two warehouses!

I'm afraid the things in this small Buddhist hall are the real good things!

OK! She had been married to him for so many years and raised the two children left behind by her first wife! There is hard work without credit! Du Zhongkai actually dared to hide it from himself like this!

Why did all the Du family's belongings go to Du Yijin! From now on, what else will her Chunkang family use to find a wife?

No, Du Yijin cannot take away all the Du family's belongings! Mrs. Gu watched the dowry being carried out one after another. She didn't care about anything and just wanted to stop it!

The previous dowries were all betrothal gifts from Prince An's Mansion, as well as rewards from the Queen Mother and everyone's additions to Du Yijin. She just took them all away! She doesn't care!

Why should she take away all the Du family's wealth?

Mrs. Gu couldn't help but wanted to rush forward. At this time, the "mother-in-law" who was waiting for her found her: "Madam, it's not good!"

Not bad! All the family property has been moved away! Seeing her maid running over, Mrs. Gu quickly said, "Ru Niang, just come! Help me stop those people, they will soon evacuate the Du family."
