Chapter 24: Who Wants to Marry a Beggar
"The marriage certificate is with your father, it seems that I have to read it......" Yao narrowed his eyes and said.
Nothing in the world stands up to scrutiny. This research really came to a problem. Lin Enzhi was four years older than Gu Rui, and when the marriage contract was made, Lin Enzhi was only more than two years old, and Gu Rui was not even pregnant at that time. Therefore, the marriage book is also quite simple, in addition to the names of the two parties, parents, grandparents and matchmakers, the two parties involved, Lin Enzhi wrote down the name and birthday, but Gu Rui's part is only vague "Gu's daughter".
There was no way, who knew when Yao would have a daughter?
This marriage was also decided by Gu Wang and the master of the Lin family when they drank too much and took a fancy to each other. Later, no one took this matter seriously, and it was not replaced by an official marriage certificate. The Yao family even maliciously imagined in his heart that if the Lin family was not defeated, he was afraid that they would be the ones who did not recognize the marriage contract.
But now, it was Lin Enzhi who came to the door of the Gu family with the marriage book.
"Sure enough, there is a play!" Yao's mother and daughter looked at the marriage book, glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Mother, since it is written as 'Gu's daughter', then in fact, whoever marries him in our family is the same." Gu Qiao said. My sister was able to get rid of that poor acid, and she was greatly relieved.
Yao was still a little hesitant: "I'm afraid that the person surnamed Lin will not agree to *one* book* reading* novel xstxt ......" After all, it was a concubine who was orally agreed at that time. But suddenly changing to a concubine, the difference is too big.
Gu Rui snorted coldly: "If you have to marry him, he will burn high incense, and dare to dislike whether he is a concubine or a concubine?" Beat it out with a stick! "He was angry when he spoke.
Yao thought about it, folded the marriage book and put it back in the box, and went to look for Gu Wang happily.
Unexpectedly, Gu Wang resolutely disagreed.
"A gentleman does not deceive the dark room!" Gu Wang's face turned red with anger, and he scolded his wife loudly, "Although it is not stated on the marriage contract that it is Shi Niang, but when I made an agreement with Lin Fangwen back then, I originally referred to the eldest daughter!" I can't do such a thing! ”
Yao was so angry that he couldn't speak. What was the situation then, and what is the situation now? At that time, the Lin family was strong and powerful, and even the Zongping County Order at that time, in front of the Lin family, was honest and respectful. But now, Lynn is as depressed as a beggar!
When I came to the door, the shoes on my feet even showed my toes!
This old man, does he have to marry his delicate daughter to a beggar to be happy?
"Master, don't worry, listen to the concubine slowly." Yao Shi said slowly, "Do you remember what happened some time ago, Master Heaven's master said that Shi Niang is extremely rich. There are so many children in our family, but she has the best life, and the only one who can make a difference is her...... Our Gu family is in Shan'er, and their generation must have someone to be an official, otherwise, these industries will not be able to be saved! ”
Gu Wang fell silent. He knew that what Yao said was true.
Seeing that his attitude was relaxed, Yao struck while the iron was hot: "But whether a woman's life is expensive or not, in fact, it is all in the husband's family that she married." In the life of our ten mothers, we must be able to marry a rich and noble family, so that it is possible to help Shan'er and a few other children, so as to help my mother's family...... Marrying this child of the Lin family is a complete part of your gentleman's righteousness, but what should we do with the Gu family? After a hundred years, won't you and I have to be gnawed by these local heroes to the point that there are no bones left? ”
"But Enzhi, this kid is actually quite grown, and in the past few days in the house, he can't let go of his hands...... I've also tested him, and the article is pretty good......" Gu Wang was still a little hesitant.
In the final analysis, he insisted on the marriage contract with Lin Enzhi, not really because he kept his promise as he said, but just optimistic about his future. If Lin Enzhi was a stupid big man, stupid and stupid, then there would definitely be no need for Yao to speak, he would blast him out first.
When Yao heard that it was going to be bad, he hurriedly said: "Master! You're out of the question! No matter how well this Lin family kid writes his article, he won't be able to get a jinshi in the future! Even if he wins the Jinshi, even if our family fully supports it, he will send a second-class county as a county commander at most. After a lifetime, no matter how smooth his official career is, he can be a five-grade Beijing official, because his Lin family ancestor burned high incense. But at that time, we were definitely gone, and we couldn't enjoy his blessings, not to mention, we took care of our family, but I was afraid that we would have been eaten by the local tyrants! ”
Gu Wang is completely speechless at this moment.
"Master, think about it again, now that the Lin family kid is like this, being able to marry a daughter-in-law is the virtue of the ancestors, not to mention the girls in our house, which one is not pampered, and which one is not a good daughter? Marry him, what else can he dislike? Yao Shi stepped up again.
Gu Wang groaned for a long time before he said, "Which girl do you have a crush on?" ”
Yao said with a smile: "The concubine thinks that Fourteen Niang is very good, demure and chaste, and she will be a capable virtuous helper in the future." ”
Gu Wang shrugged his eyebrows and glanced at his wife, knowing her tricks clearly. But after thinking about it, there was really no better candidate, so I acquiesced.
"Okay, I'll find a chance to try the Lin family's boy's tone." Gu Wang's attitude has changed a lot, from the initial "Enzhi" to the current "Lin family boy".
As soon as Yao heard what he called Lin Enzhi, he knew that what he had just said had worked, and he was very happy.
Gu Wang's brows couldn't stretch for a while because he was worried about Lin Enzhi's attitude, but Yao's was already happy to smile.
It's just that none of them thought about whether Gu Ming himself would agree to this marriage. Gu Rui was pampered and raised and didn't want to marry a poor egg, could it be that Gu Ming was born cheap and liked to marry a beggar?
Yao really didn't make a mistake, and Lin Enzhi really didn't dare to object. Gu Wang found him, took out the marriage book and showed it to him, pointing out that it did not indicate which his future wife was, so he carefully selected a demure and generous daughter for him, and when he proposed to his wife, he didn't say a word, and directly agreed.
"Does he dare to object?" In Wei Ziyuan, Yao said proudly to his two daughters, "He is like this, and he will thank the Bodhisattva for being able to marry a daughter-in-law, which is also your father's trustworthiness, otherwise, if you change to an ordinary family, you would have beaten him out with a mess!" ”
"Mother, it's so good, it's good! I finally don't have to marry that beggar! Gu Rui was so happy that she rolled in Yao's arms.
Gu Qiao was also so happy that she couldn't see her teeth and eyes.
As for Gu Ming, no one paid any attention.
