Chapter Fifty-Eight

"That's Xie Yuan. www.biquge.info"Gu Zhi touched his beard, and he felt a little envious in his heart, but then he thought about it, but he also secretly said that it was good.

At this time, Wang Kai whispered to Gu Zhi: "I don't know when it is appropriate to come to the door to propose?"

Gu Zhi was stunned for a moment, coughed, and then said, "This, wait until Ah Wan returns." ”

After Gu Zhi finished speaking, he took Gu Weijun away.

Gu Juan, who was far away in Shaoxing, naturally didn't know the good news of his father and brother at this time. It's just that these days, she and Master Pan have discussed a lot of things, the matter of Cao Yun is a matter of taxation in the final analysis, a whip law in the Wanli period is quite effective in the land south of the Yangtze River, but it is not unreasonable.

The peasants were relieved of the hardships of hard labor, and the families of the great families reaped huge profits from the silver barter. The increase in the tax revenue of the imperial court and the benefit of the three parties seemed perfect, but things were far from simple. Gu Juan knew that the so-called whip law only delayed the decline of the country's finances, and it was not a life-saving medicine for the entire Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the word is the head, it is the sin of raiding the family and destroying the clan, and there are a lot of people jumping into it.

On the evening of this day, Gu Juan and Ren Xuan'er went to the bride's room, Shaoxing customs, three days before a woman's wedding, the makeup ceremony of important female relatives.

This Gu Juan can be regarded as Pan Yun's aunt, naturally she is fortunate to add makeup to her before she gets married, and the Kunshan Pan family's extravagant gift list is naturally very good-looking, plus the women present all know that Gu Juan has a special identity and is quite loved by the Pan family, so the ladies present respect Gu Juan very much.

At this time, the bride was sitting in front of the mirror trying on the dress, although Pan Yun's appearance was not as outstanding as Pan Xianyi of the Pan family in Kunshan, but she had the gentleness of a woman in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

"My aunt is so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful woman as my aunt. ”

Pan Yun said softly, his voice was soft, and the listener was comfortable. Gu Juan couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "Yun'er is also very beautiful. ”

Gu Juan brought the Nanzhu phoenix crown to Pan Yun, and the people who were lined with it were more and more picturesque.

At this time, the noble lady on the side said: "I heard that our future uncle is a talent, and he is a famous talent in Shaoxing, but the marriage three days later, but I don't know how many Shaoxing women will be envied." ”

Pan Yun secretly went to see Xu Wenchang, and he was indeed chic and handsome. For a while, her face was flushed.

After everyone laughed for a while, they dispersed, and before Gu Juan went out, he glanced at Pan Yun again. There was a sudden melancholy in my heart.

This woman who is as gentle as water may really respond to the sentence of being famous, in short, she died a few years later.

Gu Juan sighed lightly and left.

When Gu Juan returned to the small building, he saw Ren Xuan'er facing the mirror alone.

"What are you doing here?"

"It's nothing, but I feel more and more that this face is a little flat, if it can be as beautiful and lovely as Ah Juan, I guess life must be different. ”

Gu Juan was a little funny, she said: "Maybe it's not happy yet, being beautiful is used as a marriage tool by the family, what does Xuan'er think?"

"It's my mediocrity that disturbs me, Ah Juan is right, why bother yourself. ”

"But what did Pan Yu'an say?"

"He has long been scared by you, Ah Juan, and when he sees me running away at this time, where will he say anything?"

At this time, Ren Xuan'er took out a letter, handed it to Gu Juan, and said a little embarrassedly: "Ah Juan, my grandfather wrote that Uncle Gu and Gu Gongzi were both lifted. ”

Gu Juan was stunned for a moment, and then touched his eyebrows a little complacently.

"As I expected. ”

Ren Xuan'er couldn't help but be a little amused when she saw Gu Juan like this, so she hurriedly said, "What about the other person?"

"No surprise, the solution is correct. ”

"You're so confident. ”

"Naturally. ”

"Congratulations, Mrs. Xie Yuan. ”

"Rejoice and rejoice. ”

In the past two days, everyone in the mansion has been busy, but Ren Xuan'er noticed that something was wrong.

"In ancient times, women got married, but the wedding hall should not be located in the woman's house. ”

"Isn't that a big deal?"

"The wedding please sticker does not explain that it is a rich, besides, this Xu Wenchang is quite famous in Shaoxing, how can he be rich. ”

Gu Juan was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect this, in ancient times, men who were in wealth were extremely demeaning, and Xu Wenchang was also a talented person, how could he be so easy to get into the rich, and the history was sketched out in a single stroke, but no one knew the secrets.

The two were talking in the garden, and a few maids walked by, looking hurried and seemed to be very anxious, and one of the maids also said: "How can this aunt be like this, he actually came to the door to withdraw the marriage letter, how can this be good for our young lady." ”

Gu Juan was stunned for a moment, the divorce letter, the day before getting married, what was this Xu Wenchang going to do?

"Go check it out. ”

Without anyone to show the way, Gu Juan knew where to see the excitement, the most lively front hall in Pan Garden, full of people and bustling, only to see a man in a long shirt holding a marriage book, standing straight in front of the hall.

"My lord has something to do today, so my aunt should go back. ”

Xu Wenchang said coldly: "I, Xu Wenchang, will never be in trouble!"

Pan Yun's mother hurriedly came out, looked at Xu Wenchang and said: "Wenchang, you just listen to my advice, go back first, we will get married tomorrow, how do you let Yun'er deal with herself?

Xu Wenchang's face was unbearable for a while, but he still said: "Aunt doesn't need to say much, I'm not dissatisfied with the lady, but I really don't know, how do I know that my brother and you agreed to fail the exam and get in!"

"Where are you going to put me like this?"

Pan's mother saw that he was so determined, but she didn't know what to do, and today her husband and father-in-law both went out, but she didn't know what to do.

Gu Juan, who was standing on the side, finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Xu Wenchang's brother agreed with the Pan family that if he passed the exam, he would marry normally, and if he failed the exam, he would be rich.

In this way, it is indeed a bit excessive.

"Can Xu Gongzi listen to me?"

Xu Wenchang turned to look at Gu Juan and asked, "Who is the lady?"

"If Wen Chang and Yun'er get married, they will also call me aunt. ”

Xu Wenchang............

"There are a lot of people here, is it possible that Wen Chang wants to know about this in Shaoxing tomorrow? Where are you Yun'er?"

"I ........."

"Wen Chang doesn't need to say much, and go to the inner room with me and my sister-in-law to talk. ”

Xu Wenchang couldn't help but follow the two to the inner room.

As soon as he arrived indoors, Xu Wenchang's momentum was weak, in fact, Fang Cai was just too angry, and now he thinks about it, he is indeed a little reckless.

Gu Juan saw Xu Wenchang like this.

I know it.

"Wen Chang sit down, it's all his own family, don't be restrained. ”

Xu Wenchang sat down, but saw Gu Juan smiling slightly.

I felt a chill all over my body.
