Chapter 203 Marriage to the Guo Family
Before Gao Shun could speak, Li Qiang said angrily: "Their Guo family has a good idea, they don't use their daughter-in-law to marry, and they let a girl who has no father and mother be bait." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Gao Shun was very dissatisfied with Li Qiang's words, and scolded: "What nonsense? Even if her parents passed away, they would be the daughters of the Guo family. He asked Zhao Xiong again, "Have you seen that girl?" β
According to Zhao Xiong's introduction, this girl is the daughter of Guo Taishou's brother, and after his brother passed away, he lived with Guo Taishou's family.
Zhao Xiong blushed and said, "Lord, I saw her from a distance in the Taishou Mansion. β
Gao Shun asked again: "How do you feel?" β
"It's very delicate and beautiful."
"How old are you?"
"Seventeen last year, eighteen this year."
"And then?"
Zhao Xiong said: "Later, Guo Taishou sent the county to Mayi County to consult my opinion, and I replied that he would wait for the lord to come back. β
Gao Shun was in a good mood and said: "Okay, tomorrow I will send Jun Cheng to Guo's house in Yangqu County, Taiyuan County, if that girl has not yet promised to marry others, I will immediately send someone to marry you." β
"Thank you, lord!" Zhao Xiong was very happy.
Gao Shun is very satisfied with the Guo family, with these people from good families, it is a very good thing to be able to marry the Guo family, even if it is not a concubine, besides, Zhao Xiong and the others are not young anymore, it is time to think about their marriage.
The Guo family is a Taiyuan family, has produced many high-ranking officials, and has a high reputation and influence in Bingzhou; The former Taishou Guo Yi of Yanmen County, the former Youzhou Thorn Shi and the current Julu County Taishou Guo Xun, the former Liangzhou Thorn Guo Hong and others are all from the Yangqu Guo family, and the former Julu Taishou is now Yingchuan Taishou Guo Dian from the Guo family branch; The close branches that have a close relationship with the Guo family have also developed very well in Jizhou and Yuzhou; Gao Shun estimated that Guo Jia, Guo Tu and others should have a very close relationship with the Guo family in Taiyuan.
Li Qiang and Zhao Xiong couldn't see Gao Shun's thoughts, and thought that Gao Shun really thought about them.
It is 250 miles from Yinguan to Yangqu County, and it takes at least 5 days to go back and forth (Yangqu County in the Eastern Han Dynasty was changed to Dingxiang County during the Three Kingdoms, and Yangqu County was relocated to the north of Taiyuan).
For Zhao Xiong's marriage, Gao Shun had to wait here for a few days; Li Qiang wanted his daughter-in-law, but he was a little dissatisfied.
In these few days, Gao Shun released several middle-level military attaches and several junior civil officials, supplemented the officials and Cao of the Taishou Mansion, and sent the superintendent to visit the counties; The existing personnel were secretly systematically examined, several officers of the rank of military officer were supplemented and replaced, and the existing officers and men were reorganized, with two middle-level military attachΓ©s serving as infantry commanders, each of whom had jurisdiction over three songs, each of which had five tuns, and the cavalry had been reorganized into six songs, each of which had five tuns.
Five days later, Jun Cheng returned, and the eldest lady of the Guo family had not yet agreed to marry, so she agreed to marry Zhao Xiong and sent an elder to negotiate the marriage.
The style of the Guo family's elders made Gao Shun see the strength of the Shi family.
He first proposed that Gao Shun provide the recipe and production method of Shanggu wine; was directly rejected by Gao Shun.
retreated, and demanded: "Junhou, do you want to grant the Guo family the exclusive right to sell wine in Bingzhou?" β
"Hehe, old man, we have no intention of selling to the outside world, and now our own liquor store is not satisfied, and there is no excess to sell to the outside world."
Gao Shun saw that he didn't mention the matter of marriage, but only blindly asked for it, and he was very dissatisfied.
The old man of the Guo family was also very dissatisfied with Gao Shun's attitude, and said angrily: "Junhou, since you want to get married, then show a little sincerity!" β
Although Gao Shun completely received the previous memories, but at that time, Gao Shun lived in a remote country, and he didn't know anything about the family at all, and what affected him more was the memory of his previous life.
Seeing that Gao Shun was pondering, the old man said again: "Junhou, then the Guo family takes a step back, the Guo family funded the construction of three drunken immortal pavilions in Bingzhou, the income from the wine shops in Taiyuan County and Shangdang County belongs to the Guo family, and the wine shops in Yanmen County belong to Zhao Taishou, how about it?" β
"Hehe, we don't want outsiders to interfere in our family affairs!"
Li Qiang sat on one side, already angry, the Guo family deceived people too much!
Zhao Xiong was very embarrassed.
"Do you want my children to marry and endure hardship?"
Gao Shun promised: "Hehe, no, when they get married, I will give them 3,000 acres of fertile land and a house." β
"Do you want my children to farm?"
"Give them another three hundred slaves."
"Hmph, the output of three thousand acres of land is not enough for three hundred slaves to consume."
"Then give them five thousand acres of fertile land."
"Hmph, even if they are given 10,000 acres of fertile land, what does it have to do with the Guo family?"
The first interview ended unhappily.
Gao Shun felt that it was really difficult for him to personally participate in this matter, so he asked Du Bian and Jun Cheng to continue to negotiate with the Guo family.
Li Qiang said: "He obviously looks down on the background of our people, let alone treats his daughter as a person, he wants to sell it to us." β
Gao Shun explained: "Guo Taishou definitely won't mean this, I guess this old thing is making his own assertions." β
Zhao Xiong said: "Guo Taishou didn't ask for anything at the beginning. β
Gao Shun said: "If the family is equal, there may not be too many requirements, but our background is low, even if we are too guarded, they look down on us, these people are too high; If it weren't for the early death of the girl's parents, they wouldn't have married us even if we had given them the recipe for the wine. β
Du Bian lived up to expectations, and negotiated with the Guo family in two days, and the Guo family married 10,000 acres of fertile land, 500 slaves, and a house; Gao Shun needed to provide Guo Jialiang with 1,000 horses, and did not mention the matter of the wine shop.
Gao Shun was satisfied with this.
Li Qiang muttered: "Lord, the world will be ours in the future, what's the use of asking for 10,000 acres of fertile land?" β
"Hehe, this is a piece of the Guo family's heart."
"The value of a thousand good horses can far exceed that of 10,000 acres of fertile land."
Gao Shun said: "Giving them half of the inferior horses and half of the medium horses is not a threat to us." β
Zhao Xiong said: "Lord, I'm sorry for you." β
"Haha, it's all trivial, it's okay."
Du Bian was appointed as the champion Hou Jiacheng as a matchmaker, handling all matters thereafter, and all expenses were paid from the Hou Mansion.
Du Bian was very satisfied with this, and quietly told Gao Shundao afterwards: "Lord, the Guo family is just to test the attitude of the lord, I hope you don't worry." β
"It's okay, you go and tell them that you can open a drunken immortal pavilion in Taiyuan, let's make a chef, Zhao Xiong and his wife will have half of the share, and the Guo family will have half of the share, and the Guo family will have half of the share; Fine wine can be purchased from Upper Valley County. β
"Yes, my lord!" Gao Shun took the initiative to give in and give face to the Guo family, and Du Bian felt that things were much easier.
Marriage pays attention to three books and six ceremonies, which is extremely comprehensive and cumbersome.
The so-called three books are the documents that should be prepared for the six rites, that is, the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony and the letter of welcome.
The six rites refer to the six kinds of etiquette, such as Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and greeting in person.
The six rites have been completed, which means that the ceremony of marriage has been completed.
After arranging everything, Gao returned to Taoyuan Fort by the way.
The Guo family attaches great importance to the marriage, and immediately notified the members of the Guo family who are officials abroad.
Du Bian's flowing money was spent, and everything was done very decently.
When the news spread, many families began to think carefully and planned to marry Gao Shun's forces. At this time, there is no shortage of wise people, many families have a premonition that troubled times are coming, and they will not put their eggs in one basket.
