   Chapter 60 The Dowry

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

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

   "Meow Meow Meow!" The cat meowed a few more times, meaning that it had already listened to her and completed the task, what about its reward?

  Gu Yanfei casually pushed the box containing the dried fish to it, and the cat buried its head and started to eat, making a purring sound.

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

   At that time, shortly after she returned to the Houfu, her marriage to Fang Mingfeng was officially set, and by February of the following year, her dowry was sent to the British government.

   Later, the Fang family withdrew from the family on the grounds that she was chaste and flawed, and even her dowry was returned by the Fang family.

After   withdrew from the relatives, Mrs. Gu Tai put all the blame on her and sent her to the nunnery for self-examination. She never had the opportunity to count her dowry again.

   In her previous life, did she have jade pendants in her dowry?

Have!

   In her dowry, half of her dowry is the share of the public, and the other half is the dowry of her mother Xie's family. She has everything that should be there. All kinds of jewelry, including jade pendants, are available, and it is also decent.

   In my memory, the shares in the Gu family were all ordinary things. All the daughters of the Gu family were equipped. Those objects were basically purchased in the jewelry stores in the capital.

so-

   Pushed to this point, the answer clearly emerged in Gu Yanfei's heart: the piece of jade pendant that Fang's family wanted at all costs was probably part of his mother's dowry.

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

   Even if Gu Yanfei doesn't understand cat language, he understands it, this glutton hasn't had enough!

   "Let's go." Gu Yanfei stretched out his finger and flicked the cat's forehead.

  The cat seemed to have been hit by something, and fell down on all fours, exposing its snow-white and soft abdomen in front of Gu Yanfei, curling up its claws, trying to pretend to be cute.

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

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

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

  The greedy milk cat didn't give up, licking the back of Gu Yanfei's hand for a while, rubbing her calf with her cheek, and twisting around like a caterpillar on the desk...

  Gu Yanfei stood still, flipping through the dowry booklet in front of him.

The Xie family is a family of military generals, and it is not a high-ranking family, so the dowry of the mother is not rich, but it is very comprehensive. All kinds of gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, antique calligraphy and painting, furniture, farm houses, etc., everything you need. .

In her last life, the eldest brother also gave her this dowry list, but as soon as the eldest brother left the front foot, the back foot list was forcibly taken away by Xu mama, and he kept saying: "Second girl, you don't understand this, this dowry list is still handed over to Mrs. Tai for safekeeping. Well, lest you be deceived."

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

  Gu Yanfei casually flipped through the dowry booklet and browsed carelessly until he turned to the category of gold and silver jewelry, and then he became focused.

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

   After closing the dowry booklet, Gu Yanfei stood up directly, stroked his skirt, and asked the question as he walked out, "Is Gu Yunchang still in Cihetang?"

"Bao inquires," Juan Bi hurriedly said: "Girl, after the British lady-in-law arrived at Cihetang, the third lady was sent back to Cailing Court by Mrs. Tai... Just now, the British lady-in-law had already left, and the old lady who guarded the door of Cihetang said that when she left, Your face doesn't look very good."

  Gu Yanfei glanced at the three-flowered cat on the desk, hooked the corner of his lower lip with interest, and then said, "Let's go to Cailing Courtyard." Abandoning these words, she walked out of the house.

   Kuanbi quickly followed.

   The sky outside had turned a grayish dark blue, and a white crescent moon could be faintly seen between the clouds. Lanterns were hung all over the Hou residence, like a little firefly flickering in the air.

   Juanbi held a palace lantern and walked in front to lead Gu Yanfei the way.

   Cailing Courtyard is not far from Yuheng Courtyard. The master and servants shuttled through the courtyard with the rustling evening wind, and they arrived at Cailing Courtyard after about half a cup of tea.

  Informed by the little maid guarding the gate of the courtyard, Gu Yanfei was welcomed to Gu Yuncong's small study.

   Under the candlelight, Gu Yunchang sat on a pear-flower wood armchair with her long hair half-draped. She changed into a half-new, water-red robe, which could not hide her exhaustion.

   In the past few days, she has been serving Mrs. Gu Tai in the Cihetang. She has not had a good rest. Now she is really tired.

   "Second sister." Gu Yuncong bowed and bowed as a courtesy. During the conversation, there was no longer the usual smile, and there was a bit of dissatisfaction in Gu Yanfei's eyes.

   Treating Mrs. Gu Tai's own grandmother, Gu Yanfei was a little too cold.

   Sure enough, blood is not the most important thing.

  Gu Yanfei didn't show any courtesy to Gu Yunchang either, and said with a smile, "I heard that Mrs. Tai gave you the key to my mother's small storeroom. I came here on purpose to get it."

  Gu Yunchang raised his brows, not expecting Gu Yanfei to come here for this at all.

  Gu Yanfei was standing three steps away, looking at Gu Yunchang not too far.

   Her lips are naturally slightly upturned, and she has a smile when she purses her lips.

   Looking at Gu Yanfei's natural appearance, in addition to dissatisfaction, Gu Yunchang felt a sense of discomfort.

As early as when she was ten years old, Mrs. Gu Tai solemnly handed her the key to the warehouse, and told her: "Sister 嫆, this warehouse contains your mother's dowry and the contents inside. I'll give it to you, and you and your eldest brother will share the property and cash from the shop Zhuangzi in the dowry. Grandma will take care of it for you first, and I'll give it to you when you're ready."

   At that time, Gu Yuan also regarded her as a pearl in his palm, and said with a smile: "Sister Chang, my mother's dowry is all for you. My brother will also earn you another dowry."

   At that time, the loving voices of Mrs. Gu Tai and Gu Yuan were still in my ears, but now...

   Gu Yunchang felt a slight throbbing in a hidden corner deep in her heart, feeling empty, and if she lost something, it seemed like everything that once belonged to her had been taken away bit by bit.

   She gave in step by step, but Gu Yanfei didn't miss her at all, and pressed her step by step.

   The flickering candlelight reflected at the bottom of Gu Yunxiang's eyes, as if a cluster of unknown flames were burning in the pupils.
