The eldest married as a merchant's wife

Chapter 97
On a typhoon day in July, it rains at every turn.The good thing was that he couldn't wait for the weather, he picked a good day to marry, and Geng Wu personally brought the elders of the family to come to propose marriage.

The rain was falling from the eaves, and the table in the center of the Qinghong wine shop was filled with gifts with red paper, red candles, rock candy, thread dough rings, peanut candy...

The old man sat on the right side as a guest, followed by Geng Wu, and Aunt Hong was watching tea pouring water.

This time it was the head of the ancestral hall who came in person, not some distant cousin of the Mei family. Old Guan Fu was very pleased with Geng Wu, and tapped his water pipe: "The marriage letter is completed, the betrothal money is fully sealed, the gold hairpins are complete, and the virtues and birds are in pairs." Ordinarily, this is an old rule, we ordinary people don't pay much attention to this, but when a girl gets married, she can't make her marry bitterly, what happened last time, this time can't be compared to him."

Old Guan Fu cares about face, and he doesn't want the people in the town to look down on the Guan family. He wants Geng Wu to marry Xiuhe away in a dignified way, so as to stop people's gossip.

Geng Wu nodded yes.

The 21-year-old Geng Wu wore a dark black coat with double-breasted, solemn and meticulous collar. His long hair was combed black and shiny, with a clear and handsome face, vaguely resembling the young master of a wealthy family in the past.

Old Guan Fu stared at him for a long time, and then said leisurely: "A man must have the roots of a family, and he can't just rely on the foundation of his ancestors to sit and eat. I, Guan Fu, don't like that carefree and rich young master."

Geng Wu's eyes were shining brightly, with a modest smile on his lips: "Uncle's words are easy and reasonable, and Geng Wu is not a lazy person. This time, he came back from fishing sharks at sea and rented a cargo ship for the ancestral hall. He only started to go on the road after getting married. If there is a surplus in the coming year, I will definitely buy a bigger house for Xiuhe, and I am not willing to wrong her."

Old Guan Fu was secretly satisfied, kept silent for a while, and then puffed up his pipe again: "How long does it take to go back and forth, I can't always let my daughter waste time at home..."

Xiuhe was embroidering a bride's red dress on the attic, only to hear her cheeks turn red, and she called out, "Father—"

The ending sound is still spinning, old Guan Fu knows that the girl is reluctant to let her son-in-law embarrass her.This girl, who was engaged last time, was silent, but this time she is saving money for her husband's family before she gets married.

And said she didn't like it.

That "Father" sounded soft and coquettish in Geng Wu's ears, and he remembered the gentleness she had suddenly swayed under the attic when he sent her home on a rainy night.

Geng Wu said with a solemn face, "It's at least seven or eight days, and at most ten days. I'm not worried about leaving her at home alone. When the business is established in the future, I will hire a few guys to run the boat. I'm in the town. Set up two shops to accompany her."

"Hmm." Guan Fu nodded, finally satisfied.

Aunt Hong interjected and laughed: "It can't be too long. It's not good for a young couple to be separated. I'm still waiting to hold my granddaughter. Fortunately, it didn't work out last time, otherwise I would have a baby with the Mei family. I still have to call someone a young master, and I can't even hug her happily. In the future, Xiuhe will be pregnant with your child, so you can't close the door to prevent me from entering. "

Damn, who is pregnant with him.

The window of the attic was opened a little, and the words from below floated up in the wind.Xiuhe closed the door tightly with a "squeak", dragged her embroidered shoes, and stuffed her face into the bed.
