Chapter 668: Negotiation
Gu Rui is young and good-looking, at the beginning, the master of the Hu family really liked her. Although she came in sick, with a sick spirit, and she couldn't serve him, he still called his old wife, there is no need to save money on medicine, and the medicine is good for Aunt Gu.
Old wife? Yes, Master Hu is already fifty-seven. His original partner was only three years younger than him, but he was not an old wife!
Yao sat down with Master Hu, looking at this old man who was older than himself and even older than Gu Wang, but he became his "son-in-law", and he still couldn't call it out, and he had all the tastes in his heart.
However, Master Hu looked at Yao, and there was no joy on his face. In order to treat this good-looking Aunt Gu, his Hu family spent a lot of money into it, but he didn't expect that this Aunt Gu was a person with no conscience. When I was sick, I didn't say anything, and when I was sick, I cried and made trouble, and I made noise every day, so I had to go home.
And the temper is very bad, and the temperament is extremely rude. Later, he felt that he could understand the slut, why he sold his wife and left a concubine instead.
That concubine must be the kind with an excellent temper, which is the opposite of the woman who sold it to him.
Yao's heart was turned upside down, while the old man of the Hu family was as cold as ice. The two men sat facing each other, and no one spoke for a long time.
"Master Hu......" Yao said tentatively, "Our Gu family is also a famous scholar in Runan, and even now, it is also famous...... I don't want my daughter to marry a prodigal, but let the delicate girl end up like this......"
Master Hu is also a good person, and after listening to her beginning, he knew what Yao's idea was. He raised his eyebrows, and asked without being surprised: "Madame said so, but I can't afford it." Do you want to redeem your aunt? ”
"Yes...... Please make a price. Yao said with difficulty. After finishing speaking, he looked at the man in front of him with trepidation.
She was afraid of two things, one was that she was afraid that this old man Hu would not want to ...... After all, he is a newcomer who has only been admitted to the door for a long time, and the fresh taste has not yet passed, how can he be willing to let go?
The second is that he is afraid that this old man will figure it out and is willing to let go, but it is the lion who opens his mouth and offers a price that she is completely unable to afford.
With such a complicated and tangled psychology, she looked at Master Hu with a worried face, waiting for his verdict.
Old Man Hu frowned.
This Aunt Gu, he really doesn't like her arrogance, unreasonableness, and noisyness, which makes his head hurt every day. However, it is undeniable that she is young, has good color, and looks superior, not to mention that she is still from a scholarly family, can read and read. Even if it is the housekeeper's things, she knows a lot......
If it is not to be his own concubine, but to be the wife of one of his children, it is definitely a very suitable candidate.
Several of his own women, whether they are wives or those aunts, are no longer in good color. It's like a silk cloth that has been washed too many times, no matter how carefully maintained, the faded pattern, in the end, is still not as good as the new material.
So sometimes he is interested, and the only place he can go is Aunt Gu's yard. Get some sleep, coax and get some jewelry...... It's still a good day.
It's just that what this woman said is also reasonable, and Aunt Gu's conversation can also be seen that her background is definitely not simple, and she is not a concubine who is cultivated as a thing, but a concubine who is serious about being the mother of a large family.
Such a daughter's family should be a concubine for herself...... How can I bear it?
After all, what's wrong with her? It's just marrying the wrong person.
Master Hu's heart was conflicted and entangled, and he pinched his beard vigorously until he broke three beards and his jaw hurt hotly, and he finally made up his mind.
While gasping, he said to Yao's family: "Madam, I am not an unreasonable and shameless person, your Gu family is a scholarly family, and the daughter of that family naturally has to have a good marriage...... Fortunately, this is southern Yunnan, which is far away from your Runan, and after you go back, as long as you don't mention it, others will naturally not know, just say that it is good to leave. ”
"Master Hu, you are really a kind-hearted person!" Yao was overjoyed. I didn't expect this old man Hu to be really good-hearted, which made her overjoyed.
Such a good person, and his family is so rich, the money for redemption should not be asked for from her, right? Perhaps, it may be possible to return Shi Niang's deed of sale to her directly!
"Then Master Hu, look at this ransom money...... Yao asked cheekily.
She doesn't have much money now, and she has to go back to Runan, and it will cost a lot of money for the three people on the road. If you can spend less, it's better to spend less.
Master Hu is already willing to return Gu Rui to her, why do you care about this bit of silver? He said briskly: "When she came in at that time, I bought it for fifty taels of silver, so it is better for you to ...... it now."
Not fifty taels? Yao's eyes were glued to his mouth, for fear of missing every word he said.
Although fifty taels was more than she expected, it was already extremely low for a young and beautiful aunt. She calculated the rest of the money, and it was still enough.
But I didn't expect that before Master Hu's words were finished, he was interrupted by the person who walked in.
An old woman with a dignified appearance and an awe-inspiring expression, walking in solemnly with a cane, standing between the two people, didn't look at Yao, just asked Master Hu, and asked coldly: "Master, there are guests coming, why don't you notify the old wife?" This female guest, how can she let the master come to greet her? The lord is not afraid of spreading the word, and the reputation of Yu Hu Mansion will be damaged? ”
Master Hu suddenly became disgraced.
Yao looked at the old woman in front of him, with a majestic look on her face, and her heart was dissatisfied. A merchant woman, in front of her, what is there to take Joe?
The Gu family is in Runan, and they can be regarded as a family with a head and a face! Even if it is her mother's family, although she is also a businessman, she is a grain merchant in the rice and flour business, and it is not comparable to this kind of small businessman!
"I don't know what to call this distinguished guest?" What the old woman needed was not her husband's answer at all, she turned around, looked at Yao lightly, and asked, "Come to our Hu family, I don't know what advice you have?" ”
The old woman refused to sit down, so Yao could only stand up and tell the story of the incident.
"Oh, it turns out that you are Aunt Gu's mother." The old woman didn't have any smile on her face, but just drank, "Who is the person in charge of this Baoxia today?" Why don't you understand the slightest etiquette? ”
Before her voice fell, a slender girl ran out quickly and removed the chair behind Yao.
Yao's face twitched, and a wave of anger suddenly surged in his heart, and he was about to go crazy. But Granny Rong behind her hurriedly pulled her hard.
Yao settled down and endured it desperately.
The old woman smiled, sat on the chair opposite Master Hu, and said to Yao's: "Madame just said that Gu's is in Runan and is a well-known scholarly family, so this rule must be the most exquisite." So, the old woman smoked this chair, you wouldn't care, would you? ”
"I don't care, I don't care, how can I care." Yao's laughter was even more ugly than crying, "Originally...... Where is my seat in front of you? ”
