Big red curtains, tent hooks and beards, some patterned curtains...

The matchmaker was dazzled and envious.

This man is so generous in his actions, he may love this woman so much in his heart.
The matchmaker glanced at the room separated by the flower curtain, not knowing what a beautiful woman she was, worthy of the effort of this tall, handsome and promising General Xizheng.

In less than an hour, the two parties even settled on the date of getting married, which is the sixth day of the first lunar month after the Chinese New Year.

It is less than a month before the end of the new year, which means that the preparation time for both parties is at most one month.

The matchmaker couldn't help worrying, would she be able to make it in such a hurry?
But Gu Zhang gave her a lot of money, and only let her go through this, and she didn't have to worry about other things.Even if she was full of questions, she didn't dare to ask.

On the second day, Gu Zhang took care of all the etiquettes such as Nacai, Wenming, Najib, and Nazheng.

Su Ruoli took the two little girls out for shopping in a relaxed manner. Of course, Gu Zhang ordered Chen Niuer, his personal soldier, to order her, so as to avoid the incident of being kidnapped last time.

The location of the store that cooperates with Princess Anping has already been selected. It is located on a clothing street in the downtown area. Princess Anping deserves to be a big deal.

Su Ruoli already had a rough decoration plan, and after seeing the storefront, she felt more confident.

She planned to open the store in the few months before she got married, and when she married Gu Zhang, she would just stay at home and wait for the money to be counted.

At this time, the General's Mansion and Cuiwei Hall had already become a mess.

Luo Shi was lying on the warm kang, crying and rolling on the ground, crying so miserably, people who didn't know thought she had died.

Sisters Gu Meiniang and Gu Lanniang sat on the edge of the kang and guarded her, their faces were also very ugly.

They never expected that Gu Zhang would spend so much money to marry Su Ruoli this time.

Ordinarily, Su Ruoli was originally the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. Although Luo Shi used some means to divorce her, but now she was kidnapped by men in black in Beijing. With Zhang's current status, being able to marry her is a blessing from her previous life, but it took such a big fanfare and a lot of trouble, isn't it flattering her?
Even Gu Lanniang, who has been greatly favored by Su Ruolitian, thinks so, not to mention Luo Shi and Gu Meiniang, who have always been at odds with her?

There are two reasons for Luo Shi's sadness. One is that Gu Zhang emptied all the money in the family and returned it to that little bitch Su Ruoli.Another one, if Su Ruoli came in in the future, she would be ashamed to see others.She never liked this daughter-in-law, so she tried every means to drive her out, but now it's a good thing, her son not only married her, but also made it so grand, isn't this a slap in the face of her?

How could she, who had been spoiled by Gu Hongjun all her life, bear it?
After crying for a while, Luo Shigang gradually stopped under the persuasion of his two daughters, turned over and sat up, his face was already full of sternness, "Little hoof doesn't pee, what do you look like in the mirror? Want to marry me?" Son, all right, marry me if you have the guts, and see how I deal with you!"

After all, Gu Lanniang should be more honest. Hearing such vicious words, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, "Mother, if Zhang'er marries her in, it's fine in my opinion. After all, we will be a family by then, so don't let Zhang'er face it!"

"Bah!" As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Shi spit on his face and scolded: "Who is in the same family with her? I don't even admit that I marry her, don't let me, a mother-in-law, drink her tea! If I don't drink her tea, she won't be my Gu family's daughter-in-law for a day! On the day of marriage, I won't go out to see how that little bastard bows down to Gao Tang?"

Luo Shi already had a plan in mind, if he didn't show up, Su Ruoli and Gu Zhang would be very embarrassed on the day of their marriage, and they would be the laughing stock of Beijing!It also made everyone know how Gu Zhang didn't follow her, even his mother refused to agree, and he dared to marry his wife back. Isn't this going against the heavens?

In the few days when the new year is approaching, the sky is getting colder.After a day's snow fluttered down, the ground was covered with a thick layer.

The Chinese New Year is almost here, and there are not many sick patients in Sanyuantang, and the guys have all sent money back to their hometown for the Chinese New Year.

Su Ruoli was also idle, nestled at home, lying on the heated kang, drawing styles of underwear and boots all day long.

Anyway, there are two little girls in the family who take care of the housework, and Chen Niu'er is happy to be the shopkeeper.

The shop that she and Anping jointly opened is called "An Ruoxuan" using a character in their names, and it has already opened.Just in time for the Chinese New Year, and with the addition of Anping's name, the business is simply unstoppable.

Anping has already hired twelve embroiderers, but none of them can satisfy the desire of these noble ladies.

The more this is the case, Su Ruoli is not in a hurry to get people to rush him.

She came up with an idea, which of course also came from her previous life.Every seven days or a week in the store, a limited edition is launched, and whoever offers the highest price will sell it to whomever.

Sometimes, people are like this, and things with higher prices are flocked to and looted.

Su Ruoli has seen too many examples like this in her previous life, and in this life, she can use it at her fingertips. Anyway, women who can afford such clothes and boots are usually rich or expensive.

For a while, there was a trend of fashion in Beijing, and everyone was proud of owning a piece of An Ruoxuan. If they could have a set of limited editions, in the circle of noble women, their value would immediately increase.

There are even big-spending families who do the dowry for their daughters and feel elated by owning a few items from An Ruoxuan!
Only a few days after opening, Anping asked someone to send 1000 taels of silver notes, plus a red gold hair, saying that it was for her to press the bottom of the box.

And these things, Su Ruoli has not had time to tell Gu Zhang.Gu Zhang has been busy buying her dowry for the past few days, and he is too busy to touch the ground.

What's more, this is all a little private money earned by the woman's family, so Su Ruoli has a little selfishness!

The new year is coming in a busy way, after the first day of the new year, Su Ruoli started to get busy.

First, Gu Zhang asked the best embroidery house in central Beijing to send a bright red bride for her to try on, and then asked the best jewelry shop to send several sets of hairstyles for her to choose from.

It took a long time to settle on these things alone.

Su Ruoli was so exhausted that he fell asleep on the kang as soon as it got dark.

As soon as she woke up the next day, Gu Zhang had already brought someone over to bring the dowry that she bought for these days.

Su Ruoli was a little dissatisfied, just as soon as she put on her coat, Gu Zhang rushed in with a whole body of cold air, two cold big hands were warmed up on the brazier before coming to hold her small hand.

Su Ruoli muttered in a ignorant way just waking up, "I knew it would be so troublesome to be married, so I might as well not marry you?"

An unintentional joke caused Gu Zhang to be confused, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who are you going to marry if you don't marry me? Could it be that kid Li Fu'an?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoli knew that this person was jealous again.I can't hear the previous sentence, but only hear the latter sentence.

She smiled helplessly, pouted and said, "Anyway, those things will go into your general's mansion sooner or later, why don't you carry them over together and send them to me, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

"This is different!" Gu Zhang looked solemn in front of her, "This dowry will be carried on the street to show off on the day you get married. If it is sent to the general's mansion, what will people who see it say about you?"

Su Ruoli really didn't know that there were so many excuses for this ancient dowry, so he immediately shoved him unwillingly, "The left and right are all set by you, so let others say what they want."

Gu Zhang knew her temper, but he didn't want to be so troublesome.She is a quiet person, so naturally she can't see it being so lively!

Immediately, he comforted her tightly, "Anyway, I won't let you worry about it, what are you bothering about? It's all on me." Patting his chest, Gu Zhang smiled in relief!
