Chapter 38: The Price of Swap

"Whose brother are you?" Gu Qian glared at the sixth brother fiercely and asked loudly.

Gu Fang was also annoyed, and asked Yao's family: "Mother, am I thinking about Shi Niang?" 16. What is this trickster trying to do? ”

Yao's really had no choice, so he had to coax his daughter to leave first.

Gu Qian left in a huff.

"Mother, you can't see clearly at the age of sixteen, but you can be different." Gu Fang carefully analyzed his mother, "After a few years of the imperial examination, what will Shi Niang want at that time!" Why bother so much now! What's more, whether it is a marriage of ten mothers or fourteen mothers, for the Gu family and for the father, there is actually no difference. ”

These words just hit Yao's heart. In the final analysis, the only people who can really think about Shi Niang are herself and her own children.

Although Sixteen is good at strategy, it is indeed a little younger now, and many things are still not understood. Yao settled down and said to his son: "My mother is so old, what else can't I think through?" What do you have, just say it! ”

"One, dowry!" Gu Fang said solemnly.

Although she was already mentally prepared, her heart still skipped a beat when she heard the word dowry. What does this mean, isn't it enough to receive her as a concubine under her knees, but also to match the dowry of the concubine?

But after thinking about what he said just now, she reluctantly \ read \ novel xstxt and said: "The share that should be in the house according to the rules must be indispensable to her ......"

"If you agree with Fourteen Niang in advance that you will prepare a dowry for her in the future according to the specifications of Gu's concubine, there should be basically no problem with Fourteen Niang. But what about Daddy? Gu Fang stared straight at her and asked.

Yao was speechless.

"Fourteen Niang, how can you agree? How could you accede to such an impudent request? And my uncle, my uncle won't agree to it! You are so good to him, and you send money and food, if he has a little conscience, he will not agree to the demands of their shameless villains......" In the room, Lilac became more and more angry, and her voice couldn't help but raise the volume.

Gu Ming put a finger in front of her mouth, gently "shh If so, then this marriage is still a little interesting. But what if he agreed? ”

"No...... Lilac lowered her voice, "slave...... The slave doesn't look like that kind of person...... "However, as she spoke, her voice became weak.

Gu Ming smiled slightly: "Nothing is impossible. He is only 14 years old this year, and his foundation is not very good, if he wants to be admitted to the Jinshi, it must be a matter after marriage. But if he gets married, then he can still live in Gu Mansion, but what about money? Where does the money come from? And that's when it's time to spend money......"

In her last life, in order to provide him with peace of mind to study, she almost took her meager dowry as a fine light, embroidered and spun cloth every day, and was so busy that she died. In this way, by the time he entered Beijing to take the exam, he still had enough to make up. Obviously, he had already moved out of the Gu Mansion, but he could only go to the Gu Mansion and ask Gu Wang for help in a low voice.

After all, life is real, and it can't be coaxed by a mirror. For this, Lin Enzhi, who must be poor halfway, has the deepest feelings.

Not only could she think of it, but he must have thought of it. The dowry of the concubine is very small, but the concubine is different, in addition to the dowry according to the ancestral system, there is also Yao's own subsidy. If he marries a concubine, then his life will be much better after that.

"Fourteen Niang, you have given him almost everything you have, if he is still like this, then he is really not human......" Lilac stammered when she heard this, and tears were about to flow out.

Gu Ming shook his head calmly: "Some people, even if you cut out your heart and send it to him, he will dislike it." ”

"Fourteen Niang, maybe my uncle is not such a person...... He may care about your affection and will not do such an ungrateful thing! "Lilac still tries to make things better, more human.

Gu Wang looked at her and said softly, "Don't squeak...... Let's wait quietly......"

In this life, Lynn has really grown compared to the previous life, and he knows that he has given himself a bowl of ravioli...... However, in the face of such temptation, can he really withstand it?

This kind of kindness is comparable to the love between husband and wife for more than ten years in the last life?

Gu Ming was not optimistic at all.

All she was looking forward to now was what kind of things the Yao family would come up with to exchange with her.

By the way, she hasn't cared about Baimei for a long time, I don't know how her painting is doing? Called the cloves and went to find the white plum.

Baimei is really in a bad mood these days. Fourteen Niang got a good marriage, she is the eldest girl of Fourteen Niang, it stands to reason that she should be very happy. But when the Gu concubine got married, she only married a big girl.

And now the relationship between Fourteen Niang and Lilac is far better than herself, which makes her extremely depressed. But in the past few days, she has tried hard to get to Fourteen Niang, but Fourteen Niang always asks her to paint and paint......

She's been drawing for so long, and the patterns she's drawn are piling up so high. Except for that night, Fourteen Niang made a Kong Ming lantern, which was never used again.

Bai Mei always felt that Fourteen Niang was playing tricks on herself.

So in the past few days, she has also had a taste of self-abandonment, scurrying around the house all day long, listening to the excitement everywhere.

The hottest topic in the house now is that Fourteen Niang got a good husband, and Tenth Niang regretted smashing everything in her room.

"I really burned the wrong incense!" Bai Mei was very depressed. So I didn't take the initiative to look for Yao in the past few days. Fourteen Niang is going to be the wife of the Lady of the Decree in the future, what can the wife of a squire of the Yao family be!

Lilac almost turned the entire Gu Mansion around, tired of two legs, and finally found her. glared at her a little unhappily and said, "Sister Baimei, you don't guard the yard in broad daylight, what are you doing running around?" ”

"Isn't there you next to Miss? I can't even put a needle in, is it fun to stay in the yard? Running around outside, you can also ask for more news for Fourteen Niang! Bai Mei was not a weak one, and immediately sent the words back.

Lilac didn't bother to distinguish with her anymore, but just told her: "Fourteen Niang is looking for something with you, it seems to be asking about painting." ”

Fourteen Niang seems to take this painting very seriously, but what is the use, she doesn't say.

Draw? Bai Mei was a little panicked, and hurriedly said, "I...... I'll go back with you...... But Sister Lilac, you have a big face in front of Fourteen Niang, remember to help me say a few good words for a while. ”

"You didn't paint, did you?" Lilac glanced at her.

Bai Mei pursed her lips and was silent.

Lilac had no choice but to say, "I can help you this time...... But next time I won't help you again! ”

"Not in the future!" Bai Mei hurriedly laughed.

"Didn't you just say that you have been inquiring about the news in the house these days, then tell Fourteen Niang some recent news. Fourteen Niang may not blame you anymore. Lilac came up with an idea with her.

Bai Mei nodded hurriedly.

She has figured it out now, Lilac has face in front of Fourteen Niang, and she can't directly confront her, so she has to figure it out slowly.
