Chapter 340 Very Satisfied
After chatting for a few words, Mrs. Lu released him, waved his hand and said, "Okay, go, your teacher and Seventh Master are waiting for you in the outer courtyard, and I will keep you soon."

Du Jinning got up to say goodbye, saluted Guan Jiaze, and retreated.

After the two went out, Guan Jiayu also stood up and said hello to the two elders: "Aunt Four, Aunt Seven, I'm going back too." She also said goodbye and left the door.

Seeing Guan Jiayu's figure disappear into the corridor, Mrs. Lu turned her head and asked Mrs. Guan Qi, "How is it?"

Mrs. Guan Qi nodded: "He is indeed a good boy." After a pause, he said with a bit of regret, "It's just that the family background is a little weak."

Mrs. Lu was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and said: "You are right. As a mother, I naturally hope that my daughter will marry and live a good life. Girls from our aristocratic family are all good at food and clothing. Although it’s a bit low-income, it’s still far from us. My master was rude. He only thought about how outstanding his students were, but he forgot that their family was poor and poor. Now they still live in Zhuangzi’s house and share Zhuangzi’s land. Woolen cloth."

"I... I didn't mean that." Mrs. Guan Qi was a little embarrassed, blaming herself for not being able to speak, "After all, when picking a son-in-law, you are always picky everywhere, and you always want everything to be satisfactory. But how can there be such a thing in this world? Perfect? ​​It's just picking the one that I value the most. This kid is smart and clever, but he won the top case at the age of 12, and a scholar is just around the corner. He must have a future, otherwise you will also You won't mention this to us. You told me about their family's situation. If I was particularly concerned about this, I wouldn't come here today. I just said it casually, and I didn't mean to dislike this marriage. .”

Only then did Mrs. Lu feel relieved, and she could understand Mrs. Guan Qi's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Isn't that the case? I don't talk about marrying a daughter, but only marrying a daughter-in-law. I was picking and choosing at the beginning, thinking that this one has such shortcomings, that one With such shortcomings, I am always dissatisfied. I understand your feelings."

"Exactly." Mrs. Guan Qi breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Mrs. Lu did not misunderstand her.

Although the Guan family is an aristocratic family, not every branch is promising.Their team is not as prominent as Guan Le and their team.Guan Lehe felt that his disciple was promising, so he and Mrs. Guan Qi were very grateful to find Master Guan Qi to mention this marriage.This at least shows that Guan Lehe recognizes their character and thinks that their daughter is good-looking and worthy of his disciple.

If they didn't love their daughter and hoped that her daughter would marry a good family, with Guan Lehe's personality, they would have agreed to the marriage directly without even having to look at each other.

Seeing that Mrs. Guan Qi really didn't dislike Du Jinning, Mrs. Lu kindly explained to Mrs. Guan Qi: "Don't think that Du Jinning is still living in Zhuangzi and renting the land of Zhuangzi. In fact, he is not without money. This kid can do it When the family was separated, the whole family didn't even have food to eat. They were really poor and white, wearing ragged clothes and carrying two rags. But it's only been two years. Look at how much property this child has left ?”

She counted to Mrs. Guan Qi: "Now under his name, there are more than ten or twenty teahouses and bookstores in Fucheng and counties. How is the business and how much income is there every day? You just ask your master to go there." Just look at the Boyue Tea House and Bookstore. In addition, when he created fried green tea, the aristocratic families in our county gave him 700 taels of silver to buy his secret tea recipe. He used the money to I bought a tea tree on the top of a hill myself, and went to Huizhou with Mr. Yuan and Mr. Qi to jointly set up a tea garden. You have also drank the tea, and it is very expensive to sell. We only sold it here for six taels of silver a catty; If you go north, the price will double."

Mrs. Guan Qi gasped.

Lu Shi did not tell her about these situations at the beginning.

She couldn't help being secretly afraid.If she hadn't explained what she said clearly just now, it is estimated that Mr. Lu would not have said these words to her.

Although they are a family, they only have a better reputation, and they are protected by the family when they encounter problems.If you really want to say how much money you have, you don't know.

For example, their house is nothing more than a few hundred acres of land, a few shops, and one or two houses.If the property under Du Jinning's name is very profitable, then this kid's family background is no worse than that of their master Guan Qi's family.

Thinking about it this way, the only regret left in Mrs. Guan Qi's heart was gone.

She stood up gratefully, and blessed Lu Shi: "Thank you, Sisao, for telling us about such a good marriage for Sister Rong. I thank you on behalf of Sister Rong."

"Ah, what are you doing? Don't be too polite." Mrs. Lu hurriedly got up to help her, "Our master is also a promising disciple, so of course he has to marry a girl from our Guan family."

The two looked at each other, and both pursed their lips and laughed.

In the outer courtyard, Master Guan Qi gave Du Jinning a test and was very satisfied with her.

He is a man, but he doesn't have the entanglement of Mrs. Guan Qi. What he values ​​more is whether Du Jinning is promising.Once this child is admitted to Jinshi and becomes an official, is he afraid that he will not have money to envoy?And can this kid be admitted to Jinshi?That's for sure!Both IQ and EQ are extremely high, as well as Guan Lehe's support, Qi Bokun and Yuan Xiuzhu's appreciation.Unless the luck is bad, the kid will be able to become a Jinshi and become an official in less than ten years.

Du Jinning and the others had dinner in the outer courtyard, enjoying themselves; Mrs. Lu also kept Mrs. Guan Qi for dinner.After dinner, Master Guan Qi and his wife left together.

Guan Lehe returned to the backyard slightly drunk, and after asking Mrs. Guan Qi what she meant, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, I will tell that child Jinning about this in two days."

In his opinion, there is nothing impossible about this marriage.

Du Jinning didn't have a father, so he, as a teacher, took on the role of father.The wife he chose for Du Jinning, although a little selfish, wanted Du Jinning to have a closer relationship with the Guan family, so that other aristocratic families would not take advantage of their master and apprentice.But he still thinks more about Du Jinning.

Since Du Jinning talked about standing in line, it will be very troublesome for him to marry a wife in the future.Marry a girl from a small family, that's definitely not good enough for Du Jinning.According to Guan Lehe, Du Jinning is destined to go far.He needs a wife who is knowledgeable and reasonable and can help him deal with some things, not a wife who is afraid to get on the stage and drag him down.It is imperative to marry a lady from a family.

But marrying a lady from a family involves the issue of political camp.Unless Du Jinning can meet pure ministers like them who don't stand in line, it will be very troublesome.

So the best way to achieve the best of both worlds is to marry the young lady of their Guan family.

Guan Qi and his wife are upright and honest, knowledgeable and reasonable.Their daughter, Guan Yuerong, has a gentle temperament and good looks. She is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a child who is admired even by the high-sighted Lu family.From Guan Lehe's point of view, she and Du Jinning are a perfect match, and after they get married, they will definitely be as harmonious as he and the Lu family.

He thought so thoroughly for Du Jinning that Du Jinning had no reason to refuse this marriage.
