Chapter 272 Daughter’s Life as a Talented Scholar

Gu Fei actually almost knew what Tao'er was going to say, but her store was currently short of only one chef, so when she was busy, she took the responsibility herself.

 It's just that chefs are expensive. Hiring a chef for a month costs two taels of silver at least, and Gu Fei is reluctant to part with it.

When the whole family came out of Zhuangzi, no one was riding in Gu Sanlang's mule cart. They all walked forward slowly.

Mrs. Chen suddenly said: "By the way, I have some good news that I haven't told you yet. Your sister-in-law is pregnant!"

 Gu Fei said "Ah" happily, "The relationship is great, and my parents will be able to have their grandson soon."

Mrs. Chen was overjoyed and whispered: "I guess this baby is a son. They say sour sons and hot daughters. Your sister-in-law loves sour foods."

Gu Fei pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing. In this era, it is impossible to favor sons over daughters. Men are the labor force. If there is no man in the family to support the household, then you will really be bullied.

Her mother's waist is so strong, isn't it just because she gave birth to three sons?

After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she pulled Gu Fei and whispered: "There is something that I just wanted to talk to you about. You can save me another trip when you come back."

“You go tomorrow and check out Lanzhi’s voice to see if she is willing to marry your second brother?”

"If you are willing, then the family can find time to sort things out. Your second brother is already eighteen and there is no time to delay."

"If you don't want to, tell me and I will keep Erlang at home to farm and not let him go to the city, lest your second brother see Lanzhi and cause trouble."

Gu Fei listened patiently to her mother's words and smiled with her lips pursed.

Chen said angrily: "Why are you giggling? Remember to ask quietly tomorrow, and don't ask so obviously, so as not to embarrass her."

Gu Fei turned to look at her mother, "No need to ask."

“I just heard from Lanzhi two days ago that she is willing to marry her second brother.”

Mrs. Chen was startled when she heard this. She didn't know whether she was happy or worried for a moment.

 After a long while, he sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll find a day to do things for them."

Gu Fei looked at Mrs. Chen, "Mom, you asked me to ask again, why are you unhappy when Lanzhi is willing?"

 Chen shook his head, "I'm not unhappy, I'm worried."

 “Lanzhi’s appearance is so good, I’m afraid Erlang won’t be able to look at his wife.”

Gu Fei thought for a while and whispered in her mother's ear: "Mom, don't worry, someone went to the store to propose marriage to Lanzhi a few days ago."

 Chen was startled, "Really? Who is he?"

Gu Fei said slowly: "The second young master of the Hou Mansion."

Mrs. Chen clicked her tongue a few times, "Sure enough, let me tell you, this marriage must be from the right family. The young lady from the Hou Mansion should match the young master from the Hou Mansion."

“Oh, no, Lanzhi doesn’t agree with what you mean?”

 Gu Fei nodded, "I don't agree."

"That's why I asked Lanzhi what she wanted to marry and who she wanted to marry. She was not willing to be a concubine for the prince of the Hou family. I said that I would find a scholar to be a good wife for her, but she was not willing either. I looked at her. It means that she is willing to marry into our family."

Mrs. Chen was speechless for a long time, and then she muttered: "This girl is also a fool. Her daughter is destined to be a scholar. Marrying a scholar may make you an official wife in the future. Isn't it better than marrying your second brother?"

 In Mrs. Chen's heart, her daughter must marry a scholar in the future.

Gu Fei thought for a while, "Maybe Lanzhi still cares about the body contract."

“Besides, mother, maybe Lanzhi also likes the honest and honest second brother.”

Mr. Chen laughed "Pfft", "It's useless to be honest, but it doesn't mean to be honest."

 “I don’t know about my adopted son yet.”
