On the morning of the third day after Ah Long returned to Xianyuan Town from Qingfeng Gorge Longjia Village, Ah Long was still sleeping lazily when he was woken up by Xi'er.

"Brother Aaron! Hurry up and get up! The eldest lord and the uncle are going to talk to you! They may want to talk to you about your marriage to Guo Ruyu! ”

Xi'er looked at Ah Long who had just woken up and said eagerly, Ah Long was a little confused after listening to Xi'er's words!

"Who is Uncle Guo?!"

"Alas! This person is the younger brother of Big Mom, and he is in his forties this year! His name is Xue Zurong! He is the great butler of the Long family! Therefore, everyone calls him 'Uncle Guo'! This guy is mean! When you talk to him, you must be careful, you must not fall into his sleeve! Do you understand?! ”

Xi'er helps Aaron prepare clothes and others while talking to Aaron.

Ah Long changed his clothes, and after washing, he followed Xi'er to Long Tianwei's study and living room.

After arriving at Long Tianwei's living room, Ah Long saw that Long Tianwei was sitting on the Taishi chair in the master's position, and Xue Zurong was sitting on another Taishi chair side by side with Long Tianwei.

Xue Zurong is a very thin middle-aged man, his face is pale and there is no blood, but his eyes are very sharp, and his whole person exudes a sense of arrogance and murderous aura!

Long Mengwen, the third son of the eldest lady Xue Mulan, sat on the vertical row of chairs on Long Tianwei's left.

Long Tianwei asked Ah Long to sit on the vertical row of chairs on Xue Zurong's right!

At this time, Ah Long and Long Mengwen were sitting opposite each other, and Long Mengwen was sneering and staring at Ah Long quietly!

Long Tianwei cleared his throat with tea and said, "Cold wind! Yesterday morning, Guo Baichuan replied to me, he is willing to be the master and comprador manager of the Long Jiajun! Yesterday afternoon, we asked the matchmaker to go to Guo's house with the dowry to help you propose! The matchmaker came back and said that the Guo family basically agreed to your marriage with Guo Ruyu! However, Master Guo Baichuan wants to talk to you! Therefore, I want my uncle to take the Guo family to meet Guo Baichuan, an old liar! ”

Aaron took a sip of tea, thought for a moment and said, "Dad! Does the old man of the Guo family want to talk to me, or to talk to his brother-in-law?! If he wants to talk to me, I'll just ask Xi'er to take me! ”

Xue Zurong sneered and said, "Dragon Cold Wind! You have the same virtue as your self-suicidal mother, you have nothing to do all day long, how many taels of silver do you use from our Guo family?! The purpose of me accompanying you to Guo's house is to help you and Guo Ruyu get a rich dowry and bride price in Guo's house! You must know that in the future, after you and Guo Ruyu become a family, you will no longer be able to take advantage of our Guo family! Now, in order to help you and Guo Ruyu arrange the wedding room and new home of Longtianfu on Chengdong Street! The Long family has already spent 2,000 taels of silver, and this money can buy back 10 big buffaloes! Able to buy 100 maids! Do you know?! In the future, we will help you with wedding wine, etc., and spend more money! In the future, your family will spend 200 taels of silver every month, right?! If you don't have any money in your hands, who will call you Young Master Long?! ”

Long Mengwen smiled dryly and said, "That's right! Now, my brothers who have married a family still live in Longfu, and the monthly pocket money of each of our families is 40 taels of silver! Of course, now that you don't have a family, you are considered an adult, and your monthly pocket money is 20 taels of silver! After you get married, you have to live on your own! You want our Long family to pay you an extra 180 taels of silver per month, 2,160 taels of silver per year, and in 10 years, one person will spend nearly 20,000 taels of silver from the Long family! This cost, the Long family will definitely not be able to help you! Moreover, you Long Hanfeng can't write, and you can't martial arts! What contribution do you have to the Long family?! You're just a playboy who can pick up girls, eat for nothing! Why do you spend so much money?! ”

Long Hanfeng patted the table and said, "I understand!" Don't you just hate me?! Do you want to kick me out of the Long family?! If, I'm not Lord Long's biological flesh and blood! You've already killed me! In addition to yelling at this and that all day long, what contribution do you have to the Long family?! Isn't this world fought down by Grandpa Long Xiaotian and Dad Long Tianwei?! Did you fight it?! Why can you enjoy the blessing of 'the predecessors planted the trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade', but why can't I enjoy the cold wind?! Uncle! You're ruthless! If you can convince me today, I will go to the street to beg for food immediately, and in the future, I will never spend a penny more on the Long family! ”

Xue Zurong and Long Mengwen faced each other, they didn't know how to answer Long Hanfeng's question, they were confused by Ah Long!

Long Tianwei smiled and said, "Cold wind! You are my own son! I won't let anyone bully you! Actually, you misunderstood the meaning of your eldest uncle and your brother Mengwen! When we help the family save money, don't we help the family earn money?! Besides, the Guo family is a top-level family in Xianyuan Town, and our Long family is the number one military leader in this area! Guo Baichuan only has three sons and one daughter, Guo Ruyu! How can I say that the Guo family should also give Guo Ruyu a decent dowry, right?! Longtianfu is your grandfather's residence, at that time, we spent more than 100,000 taels of silver to buy land and build a mansion! Now, we will put the title deed and real estate of this house in the name of your Long Hanfeng, isn't this a generous gift and affection from our Long family for you and Xue Ruyu to marry?! ”

Aaron smiled and said, "Dad! Don't say it, I see! When will I go to Guo's house with Uncle Guo to negotiate with Guo Baichuan?! ”

Xue Zurong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Master! I feel that it is better to let Hanfeng negotiate with Guo Baichuan by himself! We outsiders are mixed up on the side, and we may offend Guo Baichuan! What do you say?! ”

Long Tianwei scratched his head and said, "Cold wind! You negotiate with Guo Baichuan alone, aren't you afraid that this old liar will bully you?! ”

Aaron smiled and said, "Dad! How is this possible? I married Guo Ruyu, and we let their Guo family climb our Long family! Their Guo family has the support of our Long family, won't they be able to do bigger business in the future?! And if they make money, I will definitely let them pay more filial piety to the Long family! In this way, the Long family's money will also increase! ”

Long Tianwei smiled and said, "Great! O cold wind! After you jumped into the river and came back, the whole person was enlightened! Become smart and sensible! Okay! Dad believes that you will be able to fight for better development opportunities for the Long family! So, you call Shangxi'er and take the official sedan chair at home to Guo Mansion! Our Long family can't fall off the shelf! ”

So, Xue Zurong took Ah Long and Xi'er to the military camp next to the Dragon Mansion to take the official sedan chair.

......

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Ah Long and Xi'er were taken to Guo Baichuan's study and living room by the Guo family.

Then, Xi'er and Xuan Jingzi, Guo Ruyu's personal little maid went to play in the courtyard of Guo's house.

Guo Baichuan invited Ah Long to sit on the sofa and drink tea and talk!

Guo Baichuan is a man in his fifties, because he is well maintained, therefore, it looks like he is only in his thirties, he is thin and tall, and he looks very elegant and elegant!

"Nephew of the Cold Wind! Didn't Master Long say that let Xue Zurong, the housekeeper of your Long family, come to me with you?! Where are his people?! ”

Guo Baichuan fiddled with the folding fan in his hand, looked at Long Hanfeng and said slowly!

"My future father-in-law! That butler really wanted to come with me! But, suddenly, he had diarrhea! Therefore, he is not coming! ”

Ah Long smiled, fiddling with his fingers, after Guo Baichuan listened to Ah Long's words, he laughed!

Guo Baichuan said: "Cold wind! Let's get down to business! It's been a few years since you and our family got along! I still know a lot about your character and ability! You are different from the Long family, you are loving, moral, and love to read! Originally, I shouldn't have objected to Ruyu marrying you! However, the death of my father Guo Kaida does have something to do with your grandfather Long Xiaotian, which is caused by business disputes! This is a family feud! However, more than twenty years have passed since this happened! This family feud has passed a generation, and it stands to reason that your generation should be freed from the past suspicions! Of course, I think so too! Therefore, I put forward a condition with Long Tianwei, if you want to marry Guo Ruyu, Guo Ruyu can't live in the Dragon Mansion, you have to live in peace! Because, I'm worried that the other Long family members will hurt Guo Ruyu! However, Long Tianwei disagreed! Moreover, Long Tianwei also proposed that our Guo family give the Long family a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver! O cold wind! Tell me, how domineering and bullying your father is! So, I beat Guo Ruyu up, I didn't expect that she would jump into the river with you to find her death! ”

Then, Guo Baichuan sobbed and couldn't talk anymore!

After Guo Baichuan's mood returned to normal, Ah Long said, "Dad! You're too tired about me and Ruyu's affairs! We are the younger generations, we are indeed too ignorant, and we cherish family affection and righteousness too much! However, after jumping into the river and escaping death, I have learned a lot of truths, and people should love their elders and relatives! My dad just told me that he renovated the old mansion of my grandfather Long Xiaotian and made a new home for me and Ruyu, and then he put the title deed and property of the old mansion in my name! In this way, even if I am separated from the Long family! In the future, the Long family will no longer care about the cost of my new home! But it doesn't matter, Ruyu and I have hands and feet, and we can start a small business to earn money to support our family! We will definitely be a good person, and no longer drag down your elders, embarrass you and cause trouble! ”

Guo Baichuan said: "Virtuous son-in-law! It's rare that you're so sensible! It seems that it is indeed a good thing for Ruyu to marry you! Actually, the Long family has expressed something about your marriage! Our Guo family can't be ruthless, how can we watch you sell baked cakes and sugar gourds on the street to make money, right?! As you know, our Guo family is in Xianyuan City, and has the title deeds and property rights of four street row shops such as Chengdong Street and Chengxi Street! Every year, the rent of each of our street shops will not be less than 50,000 taels of silver! After you and Ruyu got married, the Longtian Mansion where you live is south of East Street, so let's do it, I will put the title deeds and property rights of the row of shops on the south of Chengdong Street and the entire street under Guo Ruyu's name! Take this as a dowry for Guo Ruyu to marry you! In the future, you will also have an income of 50,000 taels of silver every year, so that you will not be short of money to live, and at the same time, you can also do some decent business within your ability! In this way, you and Ruyu's days can also be prosperous! ”

Aaron smiled and said, "Dad! If only it could! Ruyu and I must respect you and your mother well! ”

Guo Baichuan said: "Alas! Money is something outside of the body! As long as you use your money well! Don't let your money hurt you! In the future, you must not be contaminated with eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling these things! Also, the name of your residence 'Long Tianfu' is too domineering, and it is easy to provoke the world to be unconvinced! You can change its name to 'Suncheonfu', it will be better! ”

Aaron said, "Dad said it well! When I go back, I'll ask the servants to change the name of the house!" Father! Do you still need me to help you convey other meanings to Long Tianwei?! ”

Guo Baichuan smiled and said, "Cold wind! You're getting better at talking! You go and tell your father that after you book the wedding toast day, prepare eight sedan chairs to our house to greet your relatives! In short, you have to make the whole wedding decent and lively! Don't let the citizens of Xianyuan Town underestimate us! Also, you go and tell your father that if you want to make a lot of money, let him use his connections in the imperial court military department to get the position of the salt and iron supervisor of Hugua Ferry! In this way, in the future, the Long family army will not lack military spending! At the same time, our Guo family undertakes the specific procurement and operation of the salt and iron business, so that our Guo family can also smoothly develop the business network in other places and earn more money! After all, in the future, my sons Guo Wanqian, Guo Wande, Guo Wancai, etc., they will have to start a family! ”

In this way, Ah Long said goodbye to Guo Baichuan, took Xi'er, and took the official sedan back to Longfu to report the results of the negotiation to Long Tianwei.

When Ah Long arrived at the Long Mansion, Long Tianwei, Xue Zurong, Long Mengwen and others were still waiting for Ah Long's negotiation results in Long Tianwei's study and living room.

After Ah Long sat down, he immediately reported to the three of them Guo Baichuan's commitment and requirements for his marriage to Guo Ruyu, as well as Guo Baichuan's advice to the Long family to expand their business and make money!

After listening to this, the three of them were very satisfied with this result!

Long Tianwei smiled and said, "Alas! can ask for a daughter-in-law, and can also make a lot of money! The cold wind has really become smarter! You and Guo Ruyu can get nearly four miles of street row shops, and in the future, your rental income will be huge! When the time comes, you will be the richest person in the Long family! In the future, we are short of money and we have to borrow from you Long Hanfeng! In the future, Xi'er, Huan'er and other servants will live with you, and Long Xiaogang, Long Cuiling and other little brothers and sisters will also follow you, so that it will be more convenient for them to study in private schools on East Street! It can also help the family save a lot of money! O cold wind! In the future, you must help your family bear all kinds of expenses! ”

Ah Long felt that Long Tianwei was too wolf-hearted, and in the future, Long Tianwei would definitely use up his and Guo Ruyu's money and rob it all!

Aaron smiled and said, "It should be! Daddy! Master Guo proposed to let you strive to do the supervision of Hugua Ferry! You have to hurry up and deal with this matter! In this way, in the future, the Long family army will not lack military funds! ”

Long Tianwei smiled and said, "I know this!" However, I have to discuss with Mr. Guo in person, how to pay the upfront costs such as facilitation fees and license fees for this business? ! This cost involves more than 1 million taels of silver! Also, how to supervise this business and profit dividends in the future, we also have to finalize it! Of course, Guo Baichuan used to be the agent of the salt and iron business, and their Guo family relied on this business to start, in this regard, Guo Baichuan does have more ability and experience to make money than others! The matter of the salt and iron business, after you and Guo Ruyu get married, I will go to Guo Mansion to discuss with Guo Baichuan! ”

Then, they agreed to change Longtianfu to Shuntianfu after tomorrow, and put the title deed and property rights of this property in the name of Long Hanfeng, and at the same time, Guo Baichuan also fell into the name of Guo Ruyu from tomorrow onwards the title deeds and property rights of the shops on the south street of Chengdong Street in Xianyuan Town.

The wedding of Long Hanfeng and Guo Ruyu is scheduled to be held on the eighth day of the next month, and the Long family will receive relatives according to the highest local specifications and invite relatives and friends from both sides to drink happy wine!

......

In the afternoon, Ah Long and Xi'er took the official sedan chair to Guo's mansion to report Long Tianwei's response to Master Guo.

Guo Baichuan smiled and said, "Virtuous son-in-law! You're doing a great job as a diplomat! Yes! In the past few days, I have put the title deeds and property rights of the shops on the south side of Chengdong Street in the name of Guo Ruyu! Then, I asked my housekeeper to discuss the list of treats with Xue Zurong! Your Long family should also hurry up and handle your own affairs! Regarding the salt and iron business, do it according to Long Tianwei's wishes! If he doesn't want to pay the capital, he can take a little less in dividends! In terms of business supervision, we both send people to participate in business operations, everyone is honest, and everything is easy to do! ”

Aaron said, "Oh! Father! If, Long Tianwei won't pay a penny! How many shares will he be able to hold?! ”

Guo Baichuan smiled and said, "Let's open Sanqi!" He is 30% and I am 70%! If, as I suggested, he contributes a portion of the money, we can split it fifty-fifty! ”

Aaron said, "Daddy! I understand! I'll report to the Long family's father later! Father! I haven't seen Ruyu in a few days! Look, can you let me go see her?! I'll say a few words to her and leave! ”

Guo Baichuan smiled and said, "Okay! I don't think you like climbing walls and building as much as you used to! Yes! Go to Ruyu's room to find her yourself! Remember, go back to your Dragon Mansion early! If, you delay the marriage! After that, I don't care! ”

After Ah Long came out of Guo Baichuan's study and living room, he asked Xi'er and Xuan Jingzi to take him to Guo Yuru's boudoir.

After Ah Long and Guo Ruyu met, the two of them drank tea and talked in the living room of the boudoir.

Guo Ruyu said: "Oops! Why are you only here to see me now?! You're dying of me! Now, my mom and dad are going to talk to me about what they will give when I marry you! You say, how do I know about this kind of thing?! But I can't talk nonsense! Right?! So, I can only keep giggling at them! ”

Aaron smiled and said, "Okay! I've already talked to your father about the dowry! I also talked to my dad about our new house, wedding and wine! You just wait in your room for a month, and you just do what your parents instruct! On the eighth day of the next month, I will marry you, and then, we will live together! Do you understand? ”

Guo Ruyu smiled and said, "Ah Long! You're amazing! I'm so happy! Huh! There is another thing, when the time comes, the Guo family will let me bring my personal maid Xuan Jingzi, as well as Huang Shunyu, the second dog we knew before, and his son Ah Mao Golden House and a few other servants to our new house and live with us! These servants are all related to the two big buffaloes that fell to death of the Guo family, and they have no money to repay the Guo family's losses, so they themselves sold themselves into slavery for the Guo family! You say, can we take them?! ”

Aaron smiled and said, "Alas! Huang Ergouzi and A cat are our destined people! Actually, they were okay with us in the past! Let's take them in! ”

Guo Ruyu smiled and said, "Alas! You're so good at scarring, forget the pain! The second dog almost castrated you! ”

Everyone laughed!

Aaron said, "That's it! Bear with me during this time! After this month, we'll be together forever! Now, I'm going back to Long's house to run errands! ”

So, after Ah Long and Guo Ruyu embraced, he pulled Xi'er away!
