Chapter 60 Dowry

Gu Yanfei pursed his lips and smiled with interest, his eyebrows and eyes slightly curved.

The one who will marry into the Fang family with the bride is just the dowry and dowry, that is to say, the Fang family is sure that the jade pendant will appear in the bride's dowry.

"Meow meow!" The cat urged a few more times, which meant that it had listened to her and completed the task. Where is its reward?

Gu Yanfei casually pushed the box containing the small dried fish to it, and the cat immersed itself in eating, purring.

Gu Yanfei sat down in front of the desk again, resting her elbows on the window sill leisurely, her right fist resting on her chin, staring blankly at the clusters of withered flowers and trees outside the window, recalling the events of her previous life in her mind.

At that time, shortly after she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, her marriage with Fang Mingfeng was officially settled, and in February of the following year, her dowry was sent to the British Duke's Mansion.

Later, the Fang family withdrew the marriage on the grounds of her chastity and flaws, and even her dowry was returned by the Fang family.

After retiring, Mrs. Gu put all the blame on her and sent her to a nunnery for self-reflection. She never had the chance to count her dowry again.

In her previous life, was there a jade pendant in her dowry?

have!

Half of her dowry is from her father's family, and the other half is from her mother Xie's family. She has everything she needs, including jade pendants, which is considered decent.

In my memory, the items in the Gu family's father-in-law are all common things, and all the daughters of the Gu family have their own configurations, and those items are basically bought in jewelry shops in the capital.

so--

At this point, the answer clearly appeared in Gu Yanfei's mind: the jade pendant that the Fang family wanted at all costs was most likely part of her mother's dowry.

"Meow?" Qingguang ate up all the dried fish in the box, raised his head, licked his mouth with his pink tongue, then squatted in front of Gu Yanfei, and yelled at her coquettishly several times.

Even if Gu Yanfei doesn't understand cat language, he still understands it. This glutton hasn't eaten enough yet!

"Go away." Gu Yanfei stretched out his fingers and flicked the cat's forehead.

The cat seemed to have been hit hard, and fell down on its back, exposing its snow-white and soft belly in front of Gu Yanfei, with its four paws curled up, trying to pretend to be cute.

Gu Yanfei pretended not to see it, and took out another booklet from the drawer.

This is mother Xie's dowry list, which was given to her by elder brother Gu Yuan before returning to the military camp.

She has been fine recently, so it's time to count mother's dowry.

The greedy milk cat never gave up, licking the back of Gu Yanfei's hand for a while, rubbing her calf with her cheek for a while, and writhing like a caterpillar on the desk...

Gu Yanfei remained motionless, flipping through the dowry booklet in front of her.

Xie's family is a military family, and it's not a high-ranking family, so the mother's dowry is not rich, but it is very comprehensive, all kinds of gold and silver jewellery, silk and satin, antique calligraphy and painting, furniture, land property and houses, etc. .

In her previous life, her elder brother also gave her this dowry list, but as soon as the elder brother left, the back foot of the list was forcibly taken away by Madam Xu, and she kept saying, "Second girl, you don't understand this, this dowry list should be handed over to Mrs. Tai for safekeeping." Come on, lest you be deceived."

Back then, she didn't dare to say no to Nanny Xu at all. She was inferior and introverted, thinking that Nanny Xu was right, she really didn't understand common affairs.

Gu Yanfei casually flipped through the dowry booklet, skimming through it hastily, until she turned to the category of gold, silver and jewelry, and then became focused.

There are five pieces of jade pendant mentioned in the brochure, the first piece is Pixiu jade pendant, the second piece is white jade pendant with unicorn cloud pattern, and the third piece...

After closing the dowry booklet, Gu Yanfei got up straight away, stroked her skirt, and asked Bi while walking out, "Is Gu Yunxie still in Cihe Hall?"

"Bao inquiring" Juan Bi hurriedly said: "Girl, after the British lady came to the Cihe Hall, the third girl was sent back to Cailing Courtyard by the Tai Madam... Just now the British lady has left, and the old woman who guards the door of the Cihe Hall said that she He didn't look very well when he left."

Gu Yanfei looked at the three-flowered cat on the desk, licked the corners of her lips in interest, and said, "Let's go to Cailing Courtyard." After leaving these words, she walked out of the room.

Juanbi quickly followed.

The sky outside had turned into a dark dark blue, with a whitish crescent moon faintly visible between the clouds, and lanterns were hung up all over the Hou Mansion, like fireflies flickering in mid-air.

Juan Bi held a palace lantern and walked in front to lead Gu Yanfei.

Cailing Courtyard is not far from Yuheng Courtyard. The master and servant shuttled through the windy courtyard and arrived at Cailing Courtyard after taking about half a cup of tea.

After being notified by the little maid guarding the gate, Gu Yanfei was welcomed into Gu Yunxie's small study.

Under the bright candlelight, Gu Yunxie sat on a pear wood armchair with half-shaven long hair, and changed into a half-new water-red shirt, which could not conceal his exhaustion.

In the past few days, she has been serving Mrs. Gu's illness in Cihetang, and she hasn't had a good rest. She is really tired now.

"Second sister." Gu Yunxie bowed her body, which was regarded as a courtesy. During the conversation, her usual smile was gone, and she looked at Gu Yanfei with a little dissatisfaction.

Gu Yanfei was a little too cold for Mrs. Gu's grandmother.

Sure enough, blood is not the most important thing.

Gu Yanfei didn't show politeness to Gu Yunxie, and said with a smile: "I heard that Mrs. Tai gave you the key to my mother's small warehouse, and I came here specially to get it."

Gu Yunwei frowned, never expecting that Gu Yanfei came here for this.

Gu Yanfei stood three steps away, looking at Gu Yunxie not too far away.

The corners of her lips were naturally slightly raised, and there was a feeling of a smile when she pursed her lips.

Seeing Gu Yanfei take it for granted, Gu Yunxie was not only dissatisfied, but also uncomfortable.

As early as when she was ten years old, Mrs. Gu solemnly handed her the key to the warehouse, and told her: "Sister Xie, all the dowry in this warehouse is your mother's dowry. I will give it all to you, as for the property of the shop Zhuangzi and the cash in the dowry, it will be shared equally between you and your eldest brother. Now grandma will take care of it for you, and I will give it to you when you are old."

At that time, Gu Yuan also regarded her as a pearl in his palm, and said with a smile: "Sister Xie, I will give you all of mother's dowry. Brother will earn another dowry for you."

At that time, Mrs. Gu and Gu Yuan's loving voices were still in my ears, but now...

There was a slight throbbing pain in a hidden corner deep in Gu Yunxie's heart, feeling empty and lost, as if everything that once belonged to her had been taken away bit by bit.

She backed down step by step, but Gu Yanfei didn't like her at all, and pressed her every step of the way.

The flickering candlelight reflected in the bottom of Gu Yunxie's eyes, as if an unknown flame was burning in the pupils.
