Chapter 546: Building Momentum (Four Watches for a Monthly Pass)
This time, along with the eunuch who passed the decree, there was also the new weaving official Zhuge Hong.
Xia Mingjie and a number of other officials were dismissed, some were resentful and some were happy, and Zhuge Hong was among the happy people. He has been waiting for a long time in the ministry, and it is absolutely impossible to go to the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to be a weaving officer, which is a big fat shortage, but Guo Zhinu created this opportunity for him.
Therefore, he had an excellent impression of the Guo family and was determined to encircle the Guo family.
He secretly laughed at Xia Mingjie's stupidity in his heart: There are many beautiful women in this world, coveting the beauty of the Weaver Girl, too much gain outweighs the loss, if you take care of the Guo family, why will it end up like this!
After Guo Daquan received the order, he stepped forward to appease him with a pleasant face, asking this and that.
Guo Daquan was busy paying respectful to the new parents, and he didn't dare to slack off.
Zhuge Hong was very satisfied, and specially asked Guo Zhinu to participate in the brocade conference this year. Because she was abducted and her reputation was damaged, the court guessed that she would lead the practice, and since then she has been hiding behind the scenes to contribute to the Guo family. Because of this, Qin Cha did not force her to come to receive the order.
Guo Daquan affirmed: "Participate." The little sister is ready to go when she returns to her hometown. ”
Zhuge Hong's eyes flashed with a different color, and he quickly smiled: "So good, very good!" ”
But I was surprised in my heart: Doesn't the Weaver Girl retire?
It's amazing, how dare she come to people!
With doubts, a group of officials left Guo's house.
The weavers of the Guo family's workshop flocked out, and the sound of cheering was endless.
Guo Dagui immediately ordered: All stewards and weavers will be rewarded with one month's silver.
Guo Daquan sent away the Qin Cha and the eunuch, and came back to discuss with his younger brother. Guo Dagui said again: "Add one more month, and reward two months of moon silver!" ”
The weavers were so happy that they didn't even have the heart to go to work. Relish about it.
Steward Qiu and others urged back and forth in the workshops, shouting "stop arguing, let's work", but it didn't work much, and no one was willing to listen, and they were not easy to punish, so they had to let everyone go as they pleased.
Town. The streets, alleys, restaurants, and tea shops are also discussing this matter.
Someone sighed: "Although the sins of demons have been washed away, but in the end they have lost their reputation, and it will be difficult to marry in the future." ”
The others chimed in: "Not really. The Fang family refused to ask for it. If the Fang family doesn't nod, the Guo family will not dare to marry. Even if Young Master Fang is expelled from the clan, it is also someone else's son! ”
Saying that, everyone sighed and regretted.
Soon, however. The Shen family released the news: The Shen family is asking for the third young master Shen to marry Guo Zhinu.
This is Shen Hanqiu receiving a letter from his father. learned of the arrangements he made after negotiating with his third brother Yue's family.
On this day, he held a banquet in the Shen Family Villa, inviting businessmen from all walks of life.
When the guests gathered and staggered, between the sit-up and noise, someone asked if the marriage between the Shen family and the Guo family was true, and it was time to make up the matter.
Shen Hanqiu smiled: "It couldn't be more real. ”
Everyone looked at Guo Daquan on the side.
Guo Daquan thought that this matter was still undecided, and he sneered and didn't know how to respond.
And the people saw him like this. They all looked at Shen Hanqiu suspiciously.
Shen Hanqiu said solemnly: "Miss Guo has a strong character, although she fell into the hands of gangsters. However, she was very intelligent, threatened with her life, preferred to die rather than give in, and finally got out of trouble safely. Such a chaste martyr, my Shen family must not miss it! Therefore, as soon as the third brother lost his wife, his father proposed to Guo's family. ”
Everyone looked strange and hurriedly asked, "Master Guo has agreed?" ”
Shen Hanqiu smiled: "I haven't agreed yet." Because my third brother hasn't come yet. My father has returned to his hometown to arrange and bring his third brother to Xiazhao, and then the two families will face each other to discuss family affairs. ”
Shi Duo cared about Fang Chu and said busily: "Young Master Fang swears that he will not marry Guo Zhinu. ”
Everyone nodded their heads, saying that everyone knew about it.
Shen Hanqiu said proudly: "He begged him, my Shen family will never back down!" ”
Shi Duo quipped: "Don't fight between the two of you. ”
Everyone laughed and asked Guo Daquan who he liked selfishly.
Where can Guo Daquan come back, glaring at Shen Hanqiu, I don't understand what happened to him today, causing everyone to talk about such a sensitive topic, how do you want him to answer?
Shen Hanqiu said with a smile: "This matter still depends on Guo Zhinu." Guo Zhi's female character is noble, no one knows! On that day, she said in the Yan family: She will never learn from those who deceive the world and steal fame, and said, 'People who really want to marry you will never care about the world's eyes'. Before Young Master Fang swore his determination in public, it was also shocking; Of course, my Shen family can't be left behind, and I must also show my determination. ”
After that, he patted Guo Daquan on the shoulder playfully, and said, "Brother Guo, don't blame the big brother for being abrupt." This is what my father meant. He will soon be here with his third brother. I'll say it here first, and it can be regarded as showing the determination of the Shen family for my father and third brother. I also hope that you can say a few kind words in front of Master Guo and Sister Guo, and my brother will thank you when the time comes. ”
Guo Daquan sneered: "This, I also want to ask my father." ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
In the midst of laughter, countless people whispered and turned their minds away.
What Shen Hanqiu said just now has a deep meaning:
First of all, it is Guo Zhi's strong character and her innocence in the disaster.
Secondly, the Shen family does not value false fame, and wants to compete with Fang Chu for a daughter-in-law; The Fang family values fame and does not support Fang Chu, no matter how much Fang Chu values love and righteousness, he has no chance of winning, because Guo Zhinu hates people who deceive the world and steal fame.
The merchants had their minds moved.
They are not as intertwined as the brocade family, and they don't need to be too taboo.
As long as they offer their sincerity to the Guo family, they may be able to pick up a big bargain. Because although the Shen family is good, the third young master Shen has just died of his wife, and his stepwife's reputation is not good; Not to mention the Fang family, the elders don't agree, at this time, they don't take the opportunity to go to the Guo family to propose, when will they stay?
Therefore, before the feast was over, many people excused themselves to leave.
Shen Hanqiu calmly saw off the guests, with a far-reaching smile in his eyes.
Guo Daquan came to his side and complained in a low voice: "Look at you making trouble!" ”
Shen Hanqiu said with a smile: "A family of adopted daughters asks for a hundred families!" ”
Guo Daquan was puzzled: "You mean ......?"
Shen Hanqiu said inscrutablely: "You just go home and wait to deal with the proposal." ”
Guo Daquan went back suspiciously.
Sure enough, since the afternoon, there has been an endless stream of people coming in front of Guo's house.
Only then did Guo Daquan understand Shen Hanqiu's intention: he wanted to take this opportunity to build momentum, save Qingdu's reputation and reputation, and reduce the bad impact of the kidnapping on the Guo family and Qingdu.
In the face of the suitors from all walks of life, he folded a very smiling face.
Unless it is particularly unseemly, he politely refuses on the spot; If he has a good character and family background, he didn't say anything to death, leaving it to his father and sister to choose and decide.
On the other side, Cai and Shen Hanmei also smiled and tried their best to receive female guests.
For two days in a row, the Guo family was so busy.
Although they are busy, they are all beaming and very dignified.
When the news came out, more seekers came to the door, which was simply "like a market".
