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

Chapter 370

He tried several times to push away the people blocking the entrance of the ancestral hall and run in, but to no avail.

After Wang Yueniang heard the shout, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. How could such a man be considered a treasure?

If it weren't for the sake of his family's wealth, who would be patient with him?
Even though she and Gu Chengyi have been friends for so many years, Gu Chengyi is very shrewd and didn't do her much good.

Let's just say that Lin Wu, although he has no money, is still considerate anyway, and if he saves some private money, he will buy her jewelry to please her, which shows that he has a little sincerity.

Gu Chengyi was completely different, so he pointed at the two little coins and took advantage of her with the intention of not playing for nothing.

If she didn't want to marry into the Gu family, she would be better than him even if she randomly picked someone in the village.

Wang Yueniang glanced at Gu's father, and now she can only point at Gu Chengyi's father to soften her heart, otherwise she will not end well.

The other Gu family members don't care about the baby in her womb.

"3000 taels is really too much, Patriarch Yang, if you sincerely want to reconcile, then say a sincere number."

3000 taels!Who will leave it, who will not feel heartbroken?Uncle Gu also felt that it was too much.

Gu Chengyi was even more unwilling, and he could tell that the Yang family just wanted to extort money, otherwise why would they spend so much energy arguing with them?
He glanced at Gu Chengyu, and saw him sitting on the seat, as if thinking about something.

He felt aggrieved again in his heart, the Gu family was about to pay money, he didn't know how to stand up to suppress the Yang family's arrogance, and he didn't know what he was doing in the exam, he was bullied by the Yang family.

How did he know that Gu Chengyu was thinking about the family rules of the Gu family!He is the only person in the Gu family who has a reputation. He is responsible for drafting the family rules.

After he draws it up, he will show it to Uncle Gu.From today, the family rules will be implemented.

What happened to Gu Chengyi caused the clan to lose face, and punishment was a must.

When he goes to the capital, he will definitely not be able to restrain the clansmen. Uncle Gu holds the clan rules, even if he punishes people, it is justified.

Patriarch Yang and Boss Yang looked at each other, and they also knew that if they wanted 3000 taels, the Gu family would definitely not agree.

Especially when it comes to the matter of Wang Yueniang's drugging, even in the Yamen, maybe they will argue a lot, and even say that Wang Yueniang murdered her for money, if it goes too far, it is possible that it will become their Yang family's plot in the end. .

Boss Yang pulled Patriarch Yang aside and began to mutter.

For Boss Yang, of course, the more money the better, he proposed to say 800 taels first, and then pay back the money on the ground, and Patriarch Yang agreed.

Then the two clans began to argue endlessly again, Gu Chengyu didn't want to sit here and listen to them arguing, so he stood up and planned to return home first.

"Little Treasure!" Father Gu couldn't bear it anymore, seeing that Gu Chengyu was about to go back, he hurriedly called out.

As for Wang Yueniang, he didn't know what to do!

"Father!" Gu Chengyu walked to Papa Gu's side, knowing that Papa Gu was in a dilemma.

However, Gu Chengyi spent money, and the Yang family would no longer soak Wang Yueniang in a pig cage.If Wang Yueniang was soaked in a pig cage, then Gu Chengyi would be fine. Wouldn't outsiders want to bully others by taking advantage of the Gu family's ability to raise people?
"Father! If you want the baby, you have to ask the second brother. After all, it belongs to him, doesn't it?"

Gu Chengyu doesn't know how to call the shots. If he helps make a decision, Gu Chengyi will always have something to say in the future.

Papa Gu also thinks it makes sense, he has to ask his second child about this matter.

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, after all, he was a member of the Gu family, and it would not look good to walk now, so he sat down again.

It's just that this matter is not over yet, no one cares about Wang Yueniang, but he can't let this woman ruin the Gu family's reputation.

After more than half an hour of verbal battle between the Yang family and Gu Chengyi, the two sides reduced the money to 2000 taels, and on Yang's side, they refused to lose it no matter what.

"Patriarch Yang! You have already negotiated the money. As a Juren, it is not good for me to interfere in this matter before. Otherwise, I will be suspected of bullying others."

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Gu Chengyu was ready to tell his plan.

"That's right, Gu Juren understands righteousness deeply, I admire you."

No matter what Gu Chengyu's reason was, he didn't intervene in this matter, and their Yang family was able to get the money so smoothly, all thanks to Gu Chengyu's noble hand.

Seeing that Patriarch Yang was still on his way, Gu Chengyu nodded, and continued: "This incident has made our Gu Yang family lose face, but I have thought of a way here, so that we can keep the reputation of the two families. I don’t know if Patriarch Yang can listen to my plan?”

Patriarch Yang was taken aback. He was naturally happy to save the face of the two families. After all, it was the Yang family who suffered the most in terms of reputation.

"I would like to hear the details!" Yang advocated cupping his hands towards Gu Chengyu and said.

"The reason is because of Wang Yueniang's status as a widow. If the Yang family had already given Wang Yueniang a divorce letter before today, then this matter can be regarded as unmarried adultery at best, not adultery."

Although this would still bring him a reputation for indiscretion, Yang Jiaming saved his face.

Their Gu family's reputation didn't suffer much. This was the case in ancient times. When a man made a mistake, he was called a romantic, and a woman made a mistake, and he was called a shameless, cowardly and slut.

If it is spread out, it will only be treated as a romantic affair.

Patriarch Yang's heart moved, this method is good, but?

"Master Juren, this method is the best of both worlds, but everyone in the village knows that Wang Yueniang is still my Yang family's wife, and they don't believe that we have divorced her!"

Gu Chengyu smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, let's just say yes. They are not your Yang family. Your family has given a letter of divorce. Is it possible that they are still shouting all over the village?"

Boss Yang was not happy after hearing this. If this is the case, what is their arrest in the morning?

"That won't work, so what happened to our Yang family? We have given a divorce letter, and we have no reason to make trouble!"

Boss Yang squinted at Patriarch Yang. He knew that the patriarch must be thinking about the clan, but if this is the case, what should his family do?
"Isn't this easier? Just say that you didn't know that your mother had already given the letter of divorce."

In fact, Gu Chengyu also felt that this reason was far-fetched, but if the Yang family insisted on this matter, they would have already given a divorce letter. Today is a misunderstanding, what can those villagers do?

Of course, the ridicule behind it must be indispensable.It's just that the Yang family just doesn't agree to this matter today, and their reputation has almost been lost.

Gu Chengyu's suggestion is only to maintain the reputation of the two big faces!They don't care about the whispering and ridicule behind other people's backs.

Patriarch Yang took a deep look at Gu Chengyu, only to see Gu Chengyu looking at him with a half-smile, he shuddered all over, thinking of the sword of Gu Chengyu's entourage.

In fact, he also knew that if he agreed to this matter, the Yang family would lose all face.It's just that this is a fig leaf if there is an obvious statement.

Gu Chengyu no longer paid attention to Boss Yang, he believed that Patriarch Yang would be able to persuade him.
