Chapter 1116 Dowry
Only the unpromising people don't want to make money by themselves, but just stare at other people's pockets.
Gu Yunjiao naturally prepared Ruru's dowry long ago.
There is a folk saying that five do not marry.
The first of these is that the eldest daughter of a widow will not marry.
It means that a woman without a mother has lacked her mother's teaching since she was a child, so that the woman will not be able to deal with others when she grows up. Whoever marries such a woman cannot support her husband and teach her children.
Gu Yunjiao couldn't change this old saying, nor could she change other people's opinions. She only feared that Ruru would be looked down upon because of it. From a very young age, she not only taught her carefully, but also prepared her dowry with heart.
When I see something rare and good, I buy it back, thinking that it will be useful for Ruru's marriage in the future.
Early on, the trustee got the best red sandalwood and placed it there. After the engagement, they made a full set of furniture.
All kinds of antique jewelry have also accumulated a lot.
There were also some rare silks and leathers. Gu Yunjiao was afraid that they would turn yellow and become brittle in the warehouse, so she sealed them in boxes and put them in her own medicine store.
Ruru's dowry has only been prepared now, and there are already hundreds of thousands of silver. Gu Yunjiao plans to wait for her to get married, and then give her another 100,000 silver.
In short, no matter who Ruru married, Gu Yunjiao didn't want her husband's family to say nothing.
Ruru's wedding date has already been set, this winter.
It's just that the grandfather's expedition obviously can't come back to attend Ruru's wedding.
Next, Gu Yunjiao started to work on this big event.
Every day I only see a doctor in the morning, and I come back in the afternoon to sort out various things and make booklets.
Ruru has been wealthy since childhood, but she was still stunned to see what Gu Yunjiao prepared for her.
She knows what the conditions at home are.
The Ding capital was destroyed, and the estate of the Duke's Mansion could be said to be completely gone.
Father and eldest brother are only officials, and they are honest officials, and they don't care whether the family has money or no money.
Although their salary is enough to support a large family, there is not much left.
The dowry prepared by the sister-in-law for herself is about 150,600 to 60,000 taels of silver. This can only be done by the sister-in-law paying her own money and using her own money as a dowry for her.
Ruru cried fiercely while holding the dowry booklet.
The best person in the world for her is her sister-in-law.
Even if her mother was alive, she should not have done better than her sister-in-law.
Gu Yunjiao hurriedly called the tailor from the silk and satin shop to tailor Ruru's clothes.
Clothes should not be made too early, and the style will not be fashionable if it is too early.
Some of the jewelry was usable, but when the gold was dull, he took it to the gold shop to fry it. Just like new, Gu Yunjiao also took some gems and pearls accumulated in the past by the government and brought them out to Ruru to make jewelry.
Ruru was really taken aback by her sister-in-law's generosity, and kept saying no, no, but Gu Yunjiao always felt that something was missing here, something was missing there, and she kept adding to it.
On the eve of Ruru's marriage, the front line reported that the army on the western front had taken Ruzhou between Dachu and the Hexi Corridor.
Now from Ruzhou, the troops are divided into two groups and attack the city of Jin.
Two other armies had already crossed the Yunjiang River and stood on the land of what is now Dajin and what was once Dachu.
The four-way army marched steadily forward in an encircling trend.
And now Lin Shuo's side is just at the border of Chengbing, and it has not moved.
The place where he deployed his troops was not too far from the capital of Dajin, and he planned to give Dajin a fatal blow at a critical moment.
