After hearing this, Gu Wanning shook her head and said, "Since we've moved in, we really treat you as brothers and sisters. Just watch the arrangements, we have no objections."

"Yes, yes, look at the arrangement." Gu Chenglin followed suit.

The demise of the Yang family made him clearly realize the importance of Gu Chengrui and his wife to their siblings.

If they hadn't been helping their siblings all the time, even if they broke up with the Yang family, they might end up no better than Yang Chengsen and the others.

At least he will be implicated so that he will never be able to take the imperial examination again.

Gu Chengrui gave the list to Yang Chenglin with a satisfied smile, and said, "Then pick out three things you like, and keep them in mind."

Yang Chenglin was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the list, and finally picked out a jade pendant, an inkstone, and a painting.

Gu Chengrui nodded, and after picking out a wooden eagle ornament, he gave it back to Zhou Ying and said, "Look at Wanning's sixty-six dowries.

If there is anything left, I will save it for Cheng Lin to marry a wife, and if there is nothing left, let it go. "

"Okay." Zhou Ying looked at Mama Sun after receiving it and said, "Mama Sun will give me some advice later. It's the first time I'm preparing a dowry, so I'm afraid something might go wrong."

"Yes, ma'am." Mama Sun nodded immediately.

At the same time, I also admire the husband and wife very much in my heart. It is really rare for them to return such a large betrothal gift without blinking an eye.

In the afternoon, before the betrothal gifts were put into storage, Zhou Ying and Mama Sun took the people directly and changed the thirty boxes of betrothal gifts, excluding food and picks, into twenty-five boxes of dowries.

In addition to the more than forty boxes of dowry they had prepared before, after a lot of selection, they sealed up sixty-six boxes of genuine dowry.

In the evening, after discussing with Gu Chengrui, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui gathered six more dowries for Gu Wanning.

Two catties of bird's nest, one century-old ginseng, cloth batch, tea set and tea leaves, a box of pearls, and a complete set of soap and rouge powder made by Gu Chengrui himself.

Although they didn't spend a penny.

But if you want to buy these things, you can't get them without ten thousand taels of silver.

What they didn't expect was that on the morning before their marriage, Liu's natal family and Yao's natal family, who had never shown up, came in at the same time, and each brought two dowries.

When Zhou Ying knew that they had separated Yao's sister-in-law and Liu's sister-in-law, she immediately invited them in and said, "Two aunts, sit down quickly. What kind of tea do you like?"

"Anything is fine, we don't choose." Aunt Yao said.

Zhou Ying took a look at the two of them, and seeing that their complexions were not very good, and they were also thin, she knew that their lives were not much better.

Then he made a cup of rose tea for each of them and said, "Then drink a cup of rose tea, it's good for us women."

"Thank you." The two thanked each other after receiving the tea.

Seeing that they were a little cramped, Zhou Ying asked, "Aunts, are you okay?"

"It's okay, if you can't go up or down, you can get by." Aunt Liu said.

"Although I was involved a little at the beginning, but now it's all right, and I've got a lot of honor from you." Aunt Yao said with a smile.

"Is it because the Gu family was raided back then?"

"Yes, but only for a while."

Then the two talked about the situation at home in detail.

Zhou Ying also learned that the two families were affiliated to the Gu family.

Once the Gu family fell, life for the two families would naturally be difficult, but the elder brother of the Yao family, who was an official in the court, was timid and cautious, and he was fine after being demoted two levels in a row.

Now because of Gu Chengrui's arrival, he has resumed his original position and became the fourth-rank official of the Ministry of Rites.
