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

Chapter 926 The Lion's Big Opening

Just like that, I went there two more times, relying on the matchmaker's clever mouth and Gu Wanfang's conditions were acceptable, the Ding family finally let go.

It's been almost three months, why hasn't this marriage been done yet?

After Gu Chengyu came back from the Hejian Mansion, he clearly heard from Father Gu that there was great hope, so what happened this time?

"I've said it long ago, she's so high-minded! Isn't this hanging on to our family? Does our family still have to have his daughter? I've seen that girl too, and she's not a fairy, so I can't forget it." ? Why can’t you find a girl from a good family in this capital?”

Father Gu told his wife before that no matter how much Brother Fang's father owed his family, it shouldn't involve the baby.

Besides, after getting along for such a long time, they all saw that Brother Fang was kind and honest, and he didn't have any flirts.

On weekdays, his younger uncle is also very respectful, and he is very filial to their elders.

I just opened a small book shop outside, and I haven't made any money yet.Every time I come into the mansion, I still know to bring pastries and fresh gadgets.

Although it is not a precious thing, it is also a filial piety, isn't it?
Mrs. Lu is also a person who knows how to rely on others. Although she looks down on Gu Changbai very much, she still helps Gu Wanfang to make things happen.

It's just that the matchmaker has been there three times, and this matter has not yet been completed, and Lu's face is a little ugly.

Their Gu family is now an official family, and even the princess is polite when he sees her.

The Ding family is a family of merchants, and besides, that girl is a concubine, enough to be picky about their Gu family?
The previous time, she thought it would work, so Lu asked Mrs. Ding's family to visit the cosmetics shop outside, so as to meet the girl by chance.

Lu's family is quite satisfied with that delicate and soft girl, after all, she is not a daughter of a family, so she can't be too harsh.Although his temper is a bit shy, he can handle it well.

Mrs. Lu thought that Gu Wanfang was still a white man, and she was not too young, so she didn't have the right to be picky, so it was almost enough.

After she came back, she said it was okay, even though she was a concubine, she was not very petty.

That's it, I want the matchmaker to go again, if it works, then everyone will be happy.If it doesn't work, they will have to ask the matchmaker to find another one.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Na Ding would call the matchmaker over as soon as she returned to the mansion.Say yes, but with one condition.

Lu's words made Gu Wanfang blush, and he also knew that for his marriage, the two old people had to worry about him recently, and he felt very sorry.

"The Ding family's request is a little too much, the matchmaker, let's refuse it!" Gu Wanfang glanced at Gu Chengyu, and immediately made up his mind.

"What do you mean? Then we've been busy for so long, so let's forget it?" Father Gu was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Gu Wanfang in surprise.

Gu Chengyu rubbed his forehead, can someone tell him what's going on?
He has been busy with his own affairs recently, and has not paid any attention to the progress of Gu Wanfang's marriage.

He looked at Ming Mo who was standing beside him, only to see Ming Mo shook his head at him, expressing that he didn't know.

Gu Chengyu knew that Ming Mo would not pay attention to this matter without his order, because it was under the jurisdiction of Guanshi Chen of the Outer Court.

"Don't forget it, what else do you want? They made it clear that they don't want to get married. Is it selling a girl or marrying a girl? I still don't believe it. Without the butcher, we can still eat hairy pigs." ?”

Mrs. Lu gave Papa Gu a blank look, and she went to see her in person.Unexpectedly, the Ding family would say such a condition, making it clear that they did not take their Gu family seriously.

"What are you talking about?" Papa Gu was at a loss for words, the girl is not a hairy pig!
Gu Chengyu couldn't laugh or cry, what kind of metaphor is this?Damn, it's not appropriate to use it here, okay?

"What's going on?" Gu Chengyu sighed helplessly, Gu Wanqian will not get married again, and will be 21 next year.

For men in this dynasty, it was generally too late to talk about marriage when they were fifteen or sixteen.

"The matchmaker said that the Ding family encountered difficulties in doing business, and wanted our family to give us more money as a dowry, so that they can turn around. When we have money in the future, we should give it back to our daughter as a dowry."

Fearing that Mrs. Lu would say something astonishing again, Father Gu quickly described what happened.

Gu Chengyu was stunned when he heard that, this Mrs. Ding's family is really shameless, what is the difference between this and Ming Ming?
I'm still waiting to return it later, I'm afraid it's not meat buns beating dogs, and there will be no return.

"How much money?" Gu Chengyu was a little curious. Judging from their appearance, it must be the lion who opened his mouth.
"2000 taels of silver." Gu Wanfang's face was a little ugly. He was really frightened when he heard that the dowry was so much.

Gu Chengyu was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What did Master Ding say?"

"Master Ding, as the head of the family, how could he not know about this?" Father Gu who had been silent all this time opened his mouth. He felt that this matter might not be possible.

Although the old couple has saved a lot of money over the years, the soap prescription dividends given by Xiaobao can get more than 1000 taels every year in recent years.

Last year's dividend was extraordinarily high, as high as 800 taels, and it seems that there will be more increases in the future.

But Brother Fang is just a nephew, and everyone has selfishness.It is impossible for him to give so much money to his nephew and grandson to marry a daughter-in-law, because he still has a daughter and a son!

The grandchildren below are all grown up. If you want to talk about marriage, buy a house, and make a living, what should you not use money for?

If he leaves early in the future, shouldn't he leave money for the old woman?
The rest of the silver has to be distributed to the descendants.It is impossible for him to give his heart and soul to a nephew, and there will be no such stupid person in this world.

"A total of 2000 taels! How much silver is that?" Lu's voice was a little sharp, and Gu Wanfang lowered his head when he heard it.

Ding's family only has a small restaurant and a small cloth shop, and the shop is still rented.In addition to the two small yards, all the belongings add up to only about 1000 taels of silver.

Gu Chengyu sneered, what kind of business turnover needs 2000 taels of silver?This is when their Gu family is being taken advantage of!
He looked up at Mrs. Lu, because he was in the mansion, so he made a homely dress.He only wears a pair of red gold inlaid red agate pomegranate bracelets on his hands, and a peony hairpin inlaid with gold silk inlaid on his head.

Although she was dressed plainly, the pair of bracelets were worth a lot.

This is what Gu Chengyu found out from the space. Whether it is craftsmanship or materials, they are all excellent.He gave his mother a lot of good things, and that day he went to visit the makeup shop with Mrs. Ding's family. According to his mother's temperament, she probably dressed up in jewels.

The Ding family saw that the Gu family had a rich family, so they moved their minds.Coupled with the bragging of the matchmaker from time to time, the Ding family must feel that the Gu family is not short of money.
