In order to prepare for the banquet, Ming Lan was busy almost hitting the back of the head during this period; the first issue was the money issue.

At the beginning, about four or five days after the newlyweds, Gu’s family had a distant relative who wanted to do a wedding. Therefore, the family’s relatives belonged to the seven corners and eight bends. There was no need for Minglan and his wife to come to Hexi, but because the family is currently mixed up That's not bad, and the one above the Chaotang is also considered to be the one above, so it is not easy to lose this family relationship, and Minglan sent it along with a gift.

This custom is called Sui Li. For anyone who has some connections and is a bit of a powerful relationship, as long as they send a happy event banquet post, whether you are going to have a drink or not, you should send a gift.

Since the founding of the country, the Ningyuan Hou Mansion is not particularly prosperous, but it is also a home of a large family with deep roots. There are countless in-laws and distant relatives, both inside and outside Beijing. In addition, Gu Tingye’s brothers and friends are clearly secret. There are a lot of relationships, even if it is not a foreign one, it is a very objective number.

It can be a month to be married. Although Minglan has not attended any banquets publicly, she has given out eleven and a half gifts, including four for the parents’ birthday, three for marrying a daughter, and a full moon. Two pens, one for promotion for a feast, plus one and a half for funerals—the half of the pen was sent together with the members of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion.

Minglan finally knows why the ancient big families like to live in groups. Those three or four generations of family members can always receive gifts from the grandfather’s birthday and receive great-grandchildren to marry the second room. The weddings and ceremonies are endless; of course, the courtesy, you come and me, and the gift money of the big family is basically not. It's just that there is too great a balance of payments.

With this calculation, the Gu family obviously suffered a lot:

Have a big birthday? The old Gu family and old ladies are all next door.

Marry a wife? Gu Tingye had just married, and Ming Lan couldn't die for a while.

Marry a daughter? Sister Rong was just able to go to elementary school, even in ancient times it was not that devastating.

Full moon wine? It's just that the husband and wife work overtime day and night, and it's too late now!

There is no money for the gifts, but because of the establishment of a separate mansion, the gift has to be given separately. Minglan gasped at the account book, her heart ached, and she finally realized what is meant by "heart like a knife" Cut'! She almost wanted to persuade Gu Tingye to live back to Ningyuan Hou Mansion.

Gu Tingye saw Ming Lan's good but unreasonable melancholy, and couldn't help asking strangely. Ming Lan said gloomily, "When my husband was away from home, did he ever bother with that yellow and white thing?"

Gu Tingye smiled, spreading his left arm on the red sandalwood chair, and drank the tea slowly: "That's natural. I've eaten a bowl of Yangchun noodles with sandalwood for a while."

Minglan nodded, looked at him sadly, and sighed: "My husband knows that these days, we have all gone out with more than 653,000 bowls of Yangchun noodles, oh... we should It’s right to go to a banquet, eat some back anyway."

Gu Tingye almost squirted tea from his nose, put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "It's okay. I can take it back when I look back."

Ming Lan sniffed, scratching the man’s tall and handsome nose, and said with a smile: "The chief governor is afraid that he will ignore his subordinates for a long time. Now there is no old man in this house, and no young man in the house, unless the chief supervises the concubine. Hi, otherwise where is the name!"

Gu Tingye glanced at Minglan with a pitying look, and instructed her ignorance: "For my husband, I will teach you a sentence. If it is a hot stove, it will be in summer and June, and someone will rush to burn it. "

This sentence is very philosophical in deep thinking, but it is difficult to hide the complacency. Ming Lan immediately looked at her husband with admiration and sincerely admired: "The husband is really good!" His eyes are full of admiration and admiration; this look immediately made Gu Tingye feel majestic and wise After spending a lot of time, I felt happy for a while and couldn't help but the corners of his mouth cocked.

"Yes..." At the next moment, Minglan couldn't help but said again: "If the fire burns too much, doesn't it mean that the stove is destroyed?"

Gu Tingye nodded, smiled and said: "Exactly. So you have to fix the stove door. No one can add firewood if they want."

Minglan was relieved and waved her little hand: "Well, husband, be careful."

Gu Tingye smiled and lifted Minglan's neck from behind, as if carrying a meowing kitten: "Good wife, to remind you of my husband, we are on the same stove now."

Ming Lan curled her neck, looked at Gu Tingye for a while, and immediately followed her kindness: "Then let's be careful together."

Gu Tingye was very accurate. Sure enough, since five or six days ago, congratulatory gifts have been received from the concierge. There are all in and outside Beijing, and there are generals guarding the border, and the officials in Beijing are closer. There are still relatives and friends who can only be hit by seven or eight poles, and they probably mean, "Your house is overjoyed, but I have a side job, and I can't say it personally. Hereby, I will be a little gifted."

Ming Lan read those famous posts and couldn’t help wondering--there are many people above that she didn’t post at all. What kind of joy is this? Then she showed the gift list to Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye skimmed through the list one by one. He raised his eyebrows when he saw some names, but he didn't comment, some he thought for a while, seemingly suspicious, and some he showed contempt and snorted coldly, but it was not too much of a gift. , He called Minglan and accepted them all.

"Not even the'thin gift' is accepted, I'm afraid someone will jump up in a hurry." Gu Tingye's face sank as water, and turned to the outer study room.

Ming Lan didn’t ask further, she just hurriedly went back to her room to write down the lists, and noted the subtle meanings that Gu Tingye had revealed at the time, in order to prepare for the needs; as for the gift list, it’s on the file. Don't worry about her.

Looking back at the ‘Boy Gifts’ of those big boxes and small cages, Ming Lan suddenly felt that the money was very troublesome, and she wished to return it immediately, so that she could have a peace of mind. Thinking of this, Ming Lan let out a long sigh. It is only today that she feels that she is a bit like a woman. She actually starts to regard money as dung?

Two more days later, the palace also awarded a reward. A large box of South China Sea tribute pearls, full and large, round and clear, a cluster of coral trees more than a foot high, the whole body is vermilion and moist, and the freshness is dripping. Both are rare and unusual treasures; plus a bag of three hundred taels of silver wrapped in bright yellow satin.

The reward is just a symbol. The emperor meant: Have you seen me? The surname Gu belongs to me.

Ming Lan held a bag of silver weighing about a bag of rice in her arms, and she didn't feel tired at all. On the contrary, she sighed with emotion, "I still feel comfortable eating the country's food after all."

This body, which is not working, is really delicate and tender. It probably took a long time to hold silver. At night, Ming Lan’s two tender arms were swollen, and Gu Tingye took the ointment and came in with a grim look. The fierce look in his eyes scared Danju who wanted to take the ointment away, and then personally rubbed Minglan's arms, with two distinct palms staggered up and down, rubbing vigorously while cursing in a hurry: "... you haven't seen it before. Silver!"

"Hehe, I haven't seen the silver rewarded by the emperor." Minglan gasped with a hissing air, her arms were sour and swollen, but she did not dare to ache. Looking sideways, she saw that Gu Tingye's face was dark, she couldn't bear it. Zhu said, "What's wrong, what's wrong with the holy reward?"

Gu Tingye said in a deep voice: "The emperor is very rare now. We don't need such a reward. We don't know how his difficulties are."

"Didn't it mean that the national treasury is very full." Ming Lan said strangely, leaving behind a plump national treasury, but it was a great achievement for the first emperor.

"The articles on the books are naturally full." Gu Tingye sneered. "The Yunnan-Burmese Miao Division in the south of the frontiers in the north, and the Lianghuai after the wars were rehabilitated. They wanted money everywhere, and the household department also supported them. If you don’t come out, a bunch of **** will only make short accounts!"

"Why didn't the emperor give an order to Shenfu, as if the treasury is full today, even if the servants are still full." Minglan's face became solemn.

Gu Tingye snorted coldly: "For one thing, if the emperor ascended to the throne, he would poke off this matter, it would seem that the emperor was not good at first. Fortunately, the emperor now has three years of filial piety; secondly..." Speak, hesitate a little.

"Secondly, in the first few years of his ascension, the new emperor always focused on stability, not to mention that the emperor had been a vassal for many years, and had no foundation in the capital, so he could not immediately rectify himself." Minglan took it and said slowly , "Besides, it is more important to clean up people who have committed troubles like Jing Wang Tan Wang than rot beetles."
