The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 264 Rejection
It's not too late for a man to get married at eighteen, and in order to silence Mrs. Tao, Mrs. Lu deliberately postponed the age of marriage.Besides, her Xiaobao is now a scholar, and after three years she is admitted to Juren, and then Jinshi, why can't a girl from a good family choose?
She wasn't interested in the candidates that Mrs. Tao said, they were only some daughters of landlords, veterans and merchants. She felt that the daughters of these families were not worthy of Xiaobao at all.

When Aunt Tao heard this, she almost couldn't maintain the smile on her face, but she also knew that the Gu family was different now, and after all, it was also the scholar's family.

What's more, Mrs. Lu is right. The fifth member of the Gu family won the prize of a scholar at such a young age. Maybe three years later, he will be selected as a scholar. After he wins a Jinshi, he will be an official. .

After she figured it out, she put on a smiling face again, "Look at you, what's the rush? That's what I said, but this time I said that the candidate for marriage is pretty good, and I get along well with you. Tian? If you don’t like it, let’s talk about it after your scholar’s ​​university.”

Seeing that Aunt Tao was no longer entangled, Mrs. Lu was relieved, and the matchmaker should not be easily offended.People can say that the living is dead, and the dead is alive, and it will be bad to go out and ruin her family's reputation.

In fact, Mrs. Lu also knew that this was just Aunt Tao's rhetoric!Her family's Xiaobao is only so young, so the girl can't be much older than Xiaobao, right?Whose girl wants to talk about kissing at such a young age?She wouldn't believe it if she didn't come here to sniff out the news!

Aunt Tao deserved to be a famous talker in all over the world. After a while, she made Mrs. Lu happy. After they chatted for a while, Aunt Tao got up to leave. When she left, she still had a gift from Mrs. Lu in her arms Pack pastries.

Gu Chengyu was still a little curious about that woman, she had never seen her before!Three years ago, when Mrs. Tao was a matchmaker for Gu Chenglian, Gu Chengyu had to go to school every day, so he had never met Mrs. Tao. After thinking about it for a while, he thought he was here to chat with Mrs. Lu, so he didn't care.

After writing all the posts, he tidied up before going to the main room.

"Hey! Then I'm leaving!" Mrs. Tao happened to be out of the room when she saw Gu Chengyu walking from the courtyard.

"Ouch! This is Mr. Xiucai, right? He's really handsome! He's no worse than the sons of the family!" Aunt Tao looked at Gu Chengyu from top to bottom, and her fiery eyes made Gu Chengyu a little uncomfortable.

This scholar of the Gu family is indeed a dragon and phoenix among the people, no wonder the wife of that family eagerly asked her to talk about it.

"You don't know me yet, do you? I'm your Aunt Tao."

"Is it Xiaobao? Come in and help your mother thread a needle and thread, she can't see!" Afraid of Aunt Tao's nonsense, Lu immediately interrupted her and was about to call Gu Chengyu in.

"Aunt Tao is going back? Then I won't see you off, Auntie, go slowly!" Gu Chengyu smiled at Aunt Tao, and then turned back to the main room.

Aunt Tao looked at Gu Chengyu's back and nodded, she was so polite.

In the private school in the town, Master Wen entered the inner courtyard angrily.

"Master!" Xiaocui glanced at the angry master, feeling a little uneasy.

"Did your son call a matchmaker? Why did you ask her to come to the house? Did you ask her to go to the Gu family?" Master Wen looked at Tang who was sitting at the table reading a book, and asked with suppressed anger.

Mrs. Wen recalled that Tang had been nagging his daughter's marriage in his ear two days ago, Tang said that he had taken a fancy to Gu Chengyu, but he had already said that he missed the opportunity, so he can't mention it now.

"I called the matchmaker, but I just asked her to find out. That woman is a capable person, and she knows what to say."

Having said that, she felt that the Gu family would definitely not refuse. Her master was also a scholar, and he was in the right family. She didn't understand why the master refused, and she didn't know who always said how good Gu Chengyu was.

"How can you win the pole like this? I am also a scholar. I am a scholar at a young age. I might be able to win the exam in three years. Do you think our family is good? We agreed to such a marriage, but we have no roots, and our daughter will be bullied in the future, and we will not be able to seek justice."

Master Wen sighed deeply, "You are so stupid! You only think about your future glory and wealth, but you don't care about your daughter's death."

"Why don't I care about my daughter? Didn't I just want to tell her that we are close friends? Didn't you say that Gu Chengyu is a good friend? Now you are the one who opposes it." Tang dropped the brush in his hand and became angry.

"Forget it!" Mr. Wen felt that it really didn't make sense with the woman and other people, "When will the matchmaker talk back?"

"They said they could come today." Tang said angrily.

Master Wen is afraid that the matchmaker will reveal the details of his family, but the Gu family refuses, and he will lose all his face.

Gu Chengyu went back to the main room and asked about Aunt Tao, but Mrs. Lu only said that she was here to get married, and Gu Chengyu was noncommittal.

A day later, Gu Chengyu walked out of the private school, he looked back at the gate of the private school, from the open gate he could see the garden inside the private school.Maybe he will seldom come to this place in the future, even after staying for three years, he will feel reluctant to part with it.

Gu Chengyu walked from the private school to the street. Master Wen is a responsible person, and he is especially strict with him, but he also imparts all his knowledge to others. This is a good teacher.

It's just that Mr. Wen obviously had something to say to him just now, but after looking at him for a while, he didn't mention it, and he didn't know what it was.

"My lord! You are back. You haven't congratulated me yet! You are already a scholar!" Gu Chengyu walked to the rented yard and knocked on the door, and Yu Tanzi immediately opened the door inside.

Gu Chengyu followed Yu Tanzi into the yard, and now only a few younger children lived in the yard, and the others were sent out to do errands, and the older ones were basically temporarily placed in the shop until he went Fucheng bought the house and made plans.

"Go to Yaxing to buy some fields. If you want to buy good fields, it is best to buy one near Shangling Village. There is a piece of ten acres. I will list it separately as family land. If the other fields are good fields, you can buy one hundred. mu."

It's not that Gu Chengyu has no money, but it's not worthwhile to buy too much. It's better to wait until he wins the Juren before buying, and then there will be more tax-free land.The reason why he bought a hundred acres was also because Mr. Gu felt a little bored staying at home, and Tian Shao was so tired that he didn't even seem to enjoy eating, so he wanted to find something for him to do.

"Yes!" Yu Tanzi glanced at Gu Chengyu, and felt that it was right to follow him. If Gu Chengyu became an official in the future, he would be the steward next to the high official. How much face would that have?

Just as Yu Tanzi was dreaming, Gu Chengyu's voice sounded again, "Go to my renter's house later and see if Lu Yang is still honest, send some food and money to the two old people, by the way, On the [-]th day, I will pick them up for a seat."
