Lucky Star Gao Zhao

Chapter 387 It's Done

After dinner, Gao Cui went to Gao Zhao's house to talk about the dowry.

"Zhao'er, I think your mother is worried about your dowry. Our family can't afford a dowry."

Gao Zhao didn't think about this issue. Hearing what the aunt said, he immediately said, "I forgot about it. I have to tell my parents quickly. Don't worry about getting my dowry."

Going to the main room, Gao Zhao went straight to the point and said, "Father and mother, if I want to marry senior brother, don't think of any way for the dowry. How did I prepare before, and how do I prepare now? Don't the Wu family know what our family is like? If If you care about this, don’t come to propose marriage. The Wu family knows what’s going on with our family, so why do we bother to buy a dowry? Even if it’s ten times as expensive, we don’t like it. So don’t worry about it. Anyway, my family has this condition, so I will. If you are picky, why am I not willing to marry?"

Gao Wenlin glanced at his wife, saying: Look, I knew my daughter would say that.

"Don't worry, Dad won't do that, do your best, and don't worry about it."

"I'm going to express my point of view. There are younger brothers and sisters at the bottom, so don't spend them all on me. I regret that I didn't find a way to make money earlier, but I also thought about it, but I didn't come up with it."

Gao Wenlin said with a smile: "You can pull it off, if you can make money, I can even take the number one exam."

Gao Zhao pouted and said, "Father looks down on people, if I have a way to make money, don't stop me."

Gao Wenlin was overwhelmed when he heard it, and his daughter was about to come up with messy ideas again. He said with a dark face, "Zhao'er, don't come up with crazy ideas. I don't care if you run around and play around, but you can't make any money with ideas. No matter how poor the Gao family is, it’s still a family of scholars. They don’t rely on their daughters to show their faces and do business to make a fortune. Dad can’t afford to lose this person! How can you make your brother look up? Who will dare to marry your daughter to your brother in the future? Don’t tell me your sister can only marry merchants ? And what does the Wu family think?"

Gao Zhao immediately admitted his mistake: "Father, I just said casually, I don't want to do business, and I don't have that ability."

Only then did Gao Wenlin calm down, "It's not that I look down on merchants. Merchants rely on their own abilities and suffer no less than us scholars. Some scholars are not as upright as merchants, but this world is like this. It's like saying, I can be with merchants Be friends, but I will not be in-laws with merchants, it is not easy for my Gao family to come to this point, father is only a small official in this generation, and he expects his son to be better than father, so we must pay attention to these."

Gao Zhao is very grateful to her father, who will explain the truth to her since she was a child, and tell her father what she thinks, and he will communicate with her and will not blindly reject her.

She was obedient, with low eyebrows and low eyes, "Father, my daughter is educated, so she won't talk nonsense in the future, and she won't think wildly."

Gao Wenlin's goddaughter, the Jiang family, never interrupted, and she agreed with the master's words. The Jiang family married and never considered merchants. The eldest sister had a shop owner in the county to propose marriage, but her father flatly refused. Promised marriage, went to her, a scholar's house, and after inquiring about it, he immediately agreed, knowing that Gao's family was not rich, so my father tried to buy a shop as a dowry, but it was also rented out, and he never operated it himself.

After paying the gift, he coaxed his parents to say that Gao Zhao went back to the house. After thinking about it, he should pass a note to the senior brother and talk about the dowry, first villain and then gentleman.

It's better to draw a picture and let the brother guess, and see how he reacts.

Draw a bride with her head covered, three dowry boxes next to each other, each smaller than the other, and the groom looks sad.

Well, eyebrows at [-]:[-] is a mournful face.

After finishing the painting, Gao Zhao looked at it for a long time, no, this groom looks like his father.

Torn up and repainted.

Draw a bride crying, no, I don’t know how to cry, then draw a groom crying, the bride turns around and walks away with the dowry in her arms, thinking I don’t have enough dowry, please!

After finishing the painting, I go to sleep peacefully and dream. In the dream, the brother is crying and calling to the younger sister, don’t go.

Wu Changliang received the note and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what the junior sister drew.

A son had worms in his eyes, so he rubbed his eyes, and the little lady went to get the medicine box, but the medicine box was a little too big.It must be the last time my junior sister got worms in her eyes and remembered to draw this.

Smile and write back.

Gao Zhao scratched his head when he received the note, what do you mean?
The two villains held hands, each with a box, and they were smiling.

Oh, brother, what you mean is that our family is the same. If I marry you, I will get a dowry box, and if you marry me, I will get a box as a dowry, no more, no less, the two families are the same, fair.

That's good, that's it.

Gao Zhao returned a blessing, and the dowry was settled.

Wu Changliang bowed his hands back, I will give you medicine and you will give me medicine, taking care of each other.

The happy Gao Zhao saw that his second uncle came early in the morning, and remembered that the rankings were released today. The days passed so quickly. It felt like he had only run for two days, and half a month had passed.

"Second Uncle, I'll go to the kitchen to make arrangements. If I go out so early, I haven't eaten breakfast."

"There is dry food in the car, don't worry about anything else, just finish cooking the noodles." Second Uncle Jiang said.

"Hurry up and take a break. The master has gone to the yamen. I was just talking about why the second brother hasn't come yet. The master said that the list was not announced so early."

Second Uncle Jiang sat down, took a sip of the tea poured by Jiang, "My father didn't sleep well all night, so he woke me up early, and my mother prepared dry food for me to eat on the way, reminding me of the time when I I also took the county test, but I didn’t pass it, I’m not the material to study, but I hope Brother Hao can pass the county test, otherwise our father won’t let him continue to study.”

"Second brother, no, the master said that Brother Hao's knowledge is not bad. The master still wants to wait for him to pass the county examination and come to the county to study with Mr. Jia. That Mr. Jia is good at learning. It's not your brother-in-law who said that he would not accept him." .”

The Jiang family naturally wanted to speak for the master in front of her natal family, and she was right when she said that Mr. Jia was well educated.

Uncle Jiang was overjoyed and thanked his sister. The gentleman from the capital must be better than the gentleman from the Liang family in the countryside. That Mr. Liang is just a scholar.

After dinner, Second Uncle Jiang couldn't sit still at home and went to the gate of the Yamen to wait for the announcement. Gao Zhao asked Xianglan to send a letter to Jia Xibei, saying that he would not pass today.

The Jiang family is restless. Since her grandfather's generation, the Jiang family has longed for a scholar in the family, but there is not even one who has passed through childhood. Jiang Hao is the hope of several generations. As an aunt, she naturally hopes If a nephew wins, even if he is a scholar, his father will faint with excitement.

Gao Zhao stayed with his mother, trying to distract her and keep her from getting too nervous, because the mother's body, agitation and tension are not good for the heart.

But when she told jokes, my mother also listened absent-mindedly, and forced a smile, but she didn't listen at all.

Gao Zhao watched his mother sit down and walk around the room.
