Chapter 421 Strange Fragrance, Locked Door
My aunt and Bai Xue have already returned and are packing and counting today's betrothal gifts.
As soon as Gu Qingshi entered, he heard their whispered exclamations, "This is too valuable. I thought the small box contained something else, but it turned out to be full of pearls."
They were startled when they heard the door open, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Gu Qingshi coming back, "Close the door quickly!"
After Gu Qingshi closed the door, they stealthily waved for Gu Qingshi to come over and handed her the betrothal gift list.
"Qingshi, take a look for yourself. Lu Yuan's betrothal gift is too generous and too much."
Although I knew that Lu Yuan would not be stingy, and I saw that there were a lot of things, I didn't expect it to be to this extent.
The contents of these betrothal gifts were completely beyond the expectations of my aunt and Bai Xue, and they broadened their horizons.
My aunt had already drunk some wine, and her face turned even redder. "I know that in the past, when girls got married, some wealthy families gave them a lot of dowry and betrothal gifts. I have seen it today."
Bai Xue nodded wildly, "Yes, my brother-in-law is so kind to you, sister. Look at this box of pearls, they are so beautiful."
Bai Xue had never seen such beautiful pearls. Compared with the pearl bracelets and necklaces sold outside, the pearls in this box were much larger.
Each one is well-proportioned and glowing, and you can tell at first glance that they are good things.
Gu Qingshi didn't expect Lu Yuan to be so generous, so he quickly took it and took a look. Bai Xue opened another small box, which still contained pearls, but this time they were smaller.
“This would look great as a bracelet or necklace.”
Small pearls have their own beauty. "Sister, the big ones can be made into necklaces and earrings, and the small ones can be made into hairpins and bracelets, etc. You can also make both big and small ones, and they will definitely look beautiful."
After saying that, she urged Gu Qingshi to open more betrothal gifts. When they came back before, they just checked the gift list and moved the things. The pearls had just been opened.
"Sister, I see there are gold hairpins and bracelets on the gift list. Please open them and take a look. I really want to see if they are the same as in the TV series."
Gu Qingshi looked at the gift list, took a deep breath and was about to open it, but Bai Xue suddenly stood up and said, "Wait, close the window first, so that no one can see it."
After closing and locking all the doors and windows, Gu Qingshi took his aunt to start unpacking. They then saw a box of gold bracelets and several sets of silver jewelry, all of which were matched sets with exquisite craftsmanship.
We saw the step-shaking gold hairpins and other items, as well as other agates and the like. Each piece can be exhibited in a museum.
These things were passed down from the Lu family and can be considered antiques.
In addition to these things, there are also house deeds, land deeds, car keys, shares of Lu Group, etc. Seeing these, I found that the previous ones are actually quite normal.
Not to mention the houses and cars, the dividends from the shares of the Lu Group are simply impossible for ordinary people to calculate. Lu Yuan even secretly put in a bank card that he wanted to hand over to Gu Qingshi but was rejected.
After watching all this, my aunt and Bai Xue were amazed at first, but later they became numb. After seeing so many good things, they actually felt that it was just so-so.
Because we had the dowry list, we were able to quickly check all the items and put them away properly, including the betrothal money.
According to Lu Yuan, the betrothal money was actually given to his uncle and aunt to thank them for their kindness and care towards Gu Qingshi. Most people would keep the betrothal money, but his uncle and aunt would not keep any. They planned to give it all to Gu Qingshi as her dowry.
In an era when it was rare to find a family with an annual income of 10,000 yuan, 660,000 yuan was a huge sum of money that no one dared to even think about. Many people would be greedy for it, but my uncle and his family never thought about it. They felt that they had no reason and no qualifications to ask for it.
Their life is already very good now, but they feel ashamed that they cannot give Gu Qingshi more dowry. How could they possibly accept this betrothal money?
Gu Qingshi couldn't win the fight with his aunt, so he could only put the money away for the time being, thinking that there was still a long way to go, and it would be fine if his uncle and aunt could earn more than 660,000 yuan in the future.
Because there were too many valuable things, Auntie and Bai Xue were worried. "We won't go back. We will guard these betrothal gifts with you. Today, everyone in this neighborhood knows that Lu Yuan is here to give betrothal gifts. Even if they don't know the specific things, they know it's not simple because they have so many cars. It would be bad if someone had bad intentions."
Gu Qingshi couldn't find any words to refute. She knew they meant well, but there was nothing she could say. In fact, if they left, she could just put them in the space, which would be much safer than having the three of them guarding it.
It was already past eleven o'clock after counting all the betrothal gifts. Gu Qingshi was just about to go to bed with his aunt and the others when his pager rang.
Gu Qingshi was worried about Lu Yuan and the others, so she saw that it was the hotel number and called it. Someone answered the phone quickly and said that Lu Yuan was looking for her.
Gu Qingshi didn't expect Lu Yuan to act crazy when drunk. She thought he would sleep obediently. When she heard that Lu Yuan was not asleep, she was afraid that Lu Yuan might vomit and be in danger. She was really worried about Lu Yuan being alone, so she told her aunt and others and prepared to go find Lu Yuan.
Aunt and Bai Xue agreed to go together, but Gu Qingshi was afraid that Lu Yuan was still drunk and if he asked for a hug and kiss again, it would be bad if Aunt and Bai Xue saw them, so he refused.
"No need, I can go alone. My brother is here too. If I'm really too busy, I can ask him for help. You guys can just take a rest. I'm worried about you being alone."
Actually, what my aunt said makes sense. Many people saw Lu Yuan coming to offer the betrothal gifts today. Who knows, some scoundrels might come to visit. It would be safer for the two of them then.
When my aunt and Bai Xue heard this, they didn't insist. Gu Qingshi drove back to the hotel quickly, and as soon as they entered, the receptionist in hotel work clothes came over.
Gu Qingshi originally wanted to get the key, but the front desk said that Lu Yuan had changed the room, "because the guest vomited and it was very dirty, so a new room was opened."
This is possible. Gu Qingshi frowned slightly. If she had known earlier, she should not have left Lu Yuan like that. It would be very dangerous if he got drunk and vomited, and he might even fall. It was all because of Lu Yuan's behavior before that she ran away.
The new room was on the lower floor. Gu Qingshi took the key and opened the door. "Lu Yuan?"
Gu Qingshi called out but there was no response. The bed was a little messy, the sanitary napkin door was closed, and Lu Yuan seemed to be inside.
Gu Qingshi moved his nose and smelled a scent. He looked around and found that incense was burning not far away.
"This is for repelling mosquitoes." The receptionist who brought her here saw her gaze and explained, "If everything is ok, I'll go down first. If you have any questions, please come to me."
"Okay." Gu Qingshi nodded, and the receptionist dutifully helped her close the door.
Gu Qingshi knocked on the bathroom door. "Lu Yuan, are you okay? Can I come in?"
There was no sound from inside. Gu Qingshi said it again, but there was still no sound.
Gu Qingshi was a little anxious, afraid that Lu Yuan had fainted inside, so he opened the door without paying too much attention, but the bathroom door was locked from the inside.
