Chapter 389 Approaching (6)
The concubine Shizi sighed softly, and said with a sad face: "You are young, you have never experienced anything, and you don't know the horror of war. Every time there is a big war, we all have a family of generals in the city. Half of them are responsible for the funeral. Chen Guogong’s family, because of the battle in Xijiang in the past, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren died on the battlefield. Now only a posthumous son is left, guarding this family court.”

When Gu Qingmei heard that her mother-in-law brought the topic to such an unlucky matter, she couldn't help being a little unhappy, and quickly changed the topic, "Mother, I should have helped manage sister Ying's marriage, but now I have I'm pregnant, so it's inconvenient to worry about my mother. I can't help you much, so I can give Ying some money for her own money, and give her two sets of head jewelry to make a pressing box."

As she said this, the two little maids on the other side put the brocade box in their hands on the Eight Immortals table next to Shi Zifei.

Seeing that the bank notes were all 1000 taels, there were ten in total, a total of 1 taels, and the concubine Shi Zi couldn't help being startled, "You child, why give her so much money?"

Gu Qingmei smiled and said: "Last time, Mrs. Lu Guogong gave me an emerald ring worth thousands of gold just by making a move. I think the family is very rich. Our sister Ying married, if I don't have some private money , I’m afraid it will make people laugh. Mother, please don’t be polite to me, this money is also the meaning of the husband. The husband loves his sister, so give more money for his waist, mother can’t refuse. "

After hearing this, the concubine Shi Zi handed the bank note to Wu Shi who was at the side, "You girl, Yu'er is also blessed to marry you."

Lan's opened the two brocade boxes, and suddenly let out a soft cry, "Sister, look, you really deserve to be the youngest mistress of our family, and you are generous with your actions."

The concubine Shizi saw that in the brocade box was a set of gold jewelry inlaid with red treasures and a set of gold jewelry inlaid with sapphires. Shake, the bracelets, earrings, and rings are a complete set, and the gemstones embedded on them are huge and transparent in texture. These two sets of jewelry alone are worth several thousand taels, and I can't help being moved.

"You child..." She didn't know what to say.

"Mother doesn't like it?" She winked at her mother-in-law mischievously.

"How could it be? I want to hide these two sets of jewelry and not give them to Sister Ying." Shi Zifei knew that she was making fun of herself, so she burst out laughing.

"If mother likes it, I'll have someone make a set for mother during the Chinese New Year."

"I'm already old, how can I still wear so many jewelry? By the way, I have some jewelry here, some are my mother's dowry, and some are left by Mrs. Jun. The style is old. I always wanted to renovate it and give it to you, but I was getting old and kept forgetting it. I remembered it today, Lan Shi, go open the warehouse and bring the box of jewelry. Those jewelry are not worn, so it’s a pity to put them away. I think this girl has a good idea, why don’t let her renovate it, and let her wear it for fun.”

There were several keys hanging on Lan's belt, and he usually carried them with him. Hearing what she said, he tore the keys off his belt, then turned and left the house.

Gu Qingmei smiled and said: "Mother has good things, but I don't know how to get them out sooner, so I can add a few dowry to Sister Ying."

"She is enough. With a sister-in-law like you, I am very relieved. Even if there are any difficulties in the future, I am not afraid. Those jewelry are still in the warehouse for nothing, so I might as well give them to you to play with. Now I only worry about sister Jing Regarding my son's marriage, although she was raised under my name since she was a child, she is a concubine after all." Because Lan's family is not around, it is only for Shi Zifei to say this.

"By the way, can you help me find out about your natal nephew that I mentioned to you last time?"

When Gu Qingmei heard this, the mother-in-law hadn't given up on the idea, so she smiled and said, "Of course I have already inquired, but there have been many things going on recently, so I forgot. My nephew is about a few months younger than Miss Jing, and has a good temperament. Yes, I love reading, but I don't have any fame and my family is a little low, so I'm afraid I'll wrong Miss Jing."

"How about this, why don't you turn around and find a reason to invite your elder sister's family to come over to our house for a stroll, let me take a closer look, and let Jing Jie meet him."

"If that's the case, then I'll find an excuse another day and invite my eldest sister's family to come over for a sit-down." The mother-in-law has already talked about this, and Gu Qingmei couldn't stop her, so she had to agree.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started chatting without saying a word, and after a while, they saw Lan's mother-in-law leading two rough envoys and walking in from outside with a big box.

After entering, she put the box on the ground, took out the key and opened the lock on the box, and saw that there were flat brocade boxes inside. She casually took out the top one, a one-foot-square box, and held it to Gu Qingmei's. before.

"Look, young mistress, are these jewelry available?"

When Gu Qingmei saw it, she was startled, it turned out that there was a set of emerald-embedded jewelry inside, and a pair of emerald chaise concubine bracelets, she couldn't help but panicked and said: "Mother, this is too expensive, I can't take it! "

The concubine said: "The gift from the elders cannot be denied. Take it, it will be given to you anyway."

Gu Qingmei thought for a while, then got up and said, "Okay, then I won't be hypocritical with my mother, so that I won't let her look at me as petty. Qing'er, we made a fortune today. Your sister didn't catch up with the good times, but you catch up Come on, when you get married later, I will pick a good look for you."

"Aunt Mei! You're so rude!" Seeing her suddenly teasing him, Su Chenqing stomped his feet in reluctance, and his little face blushed suddenly.

Gu Qingmei raised her hand and patted her on the shoulder with a smile, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's take the reward from mother and go back quickly, in case mother changes her mind and feels distressed, take the reward back , let’s fight it out.”

Lan said with a smile: "The concubine is still right, our youngest mistress loves money, look at this misleading look about money."

Everyone laughed again, and Gu Qingmei took people back to her yard, took out all the things her mother-in-law gave her, and counted them. The styles were indeed a bit old, and some jewelry had been damaged due to the age. Some of the hairpin rods were broken, some gems were missing, and some were simply too old. The Shizi Concubine did not lack jewelry, so she didn't go to repair it, and put it away as tatters.

Most of these are jewels inlaid with gems and jade, and the gems and jade inlaid on them are of excellent quality.

Although Su Chenqing was born as a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold, he had never seen so many jewels of such fineness, and couldn't help but be speechless, "Aunt Mei, this is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, right?"

"En!" Gu Qingmei nodded and smiled. "This is still a conservative estimate."
