Chapter 19: Marrying a Daughter

In the past six months, Guo Yi can be said to have become popular rapidly, and suddenly became a celebrity from a ruffian and a hooligan. The matter of Wang Xianling is hyped properly, and in the scope of Changshan Country, Guo Yi is not short of fame. Of course, if you want to compete in the Central Plains, this is far from enough.

Fan Xin took out a scroll detailing the reasons why he chose Guo Yi. and advice on how he thinks he can dominate the world.

Among them, there are three core reasons: first, they are brave and strategic, and they are good at commanding the army; 2. Win the hearts of the army and the people; 3. Unwilling to live under others.

As for the imagination of the Central Plains, it is more straightforward. First accumulate fame in the local area, then enter the imperial court, oppose the eunuchs in the court, and find opportunities to make a name for themselves. When the world is in turmoil, raise troops in the countryside. With Changshan Country as the base, as long as you take Jizhou, you can compete for dominance in the world.

After reading it, Guo Yi had an idea: "This TM is Yuan Benchu's growth route!! ”

The other party showed full sincerity, and Guo Yi also expressed his attitude, Lao Tzu is indeed going to do great things! "I want to follow the example of Duke Zhou and Guan Zhong, respect the king, and calm the world. The annals of his daily history are not in vain in the name of loyalty and righteousness! ”

"Hey, hey." Fan Xin laughed twice, "Respect the king" is a ghost who believes it, and he fooled those scholars. However, now that the Han Dynasty is still alive, it is time to assume a posture of respecting the imperial court.

The two chatted until late at night, and Guo Yi arranged for him to sleep in the guest room.

"With a sound investor, I'm not short of money." The problem of money and food has always been a major problem. Although the loot was captured in the first two battles, there was not much left after the bounty.

The establishment of 500 people is the limit of his resources, and once the number of troops exceeds 1,000, he must set up a special grain transportation team. He's still in his early days, so he can't spend this money. Starting a business, if you don't have money to burn, you won't necessarily die, but you will definitely die if you burn money indiscriminately.

Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door.

Because Guo Yi has refused to visit recently, Zhao Rou did not have the habit of guarding the door in the early days. The other party is very persistent and keeps knocking. Guo Yi had no choice but to get up and open the door.

It's Yan Hua. She changed into a men's robe, wore a jade pendant around her waist, held a Qingfeng sword in her left hand, and her hair was tied up in a men's hairstyle. Valiant.

"Looking for me?"

Yan Hua handed over a card, "This is my address, and I will settle down in Zhending County for the time being." ”

"Okay." Guo Yi took the card, it was a wealthy area in the north of the city, and it was just a street away from Guo Yi's house.

"And. I asked Zilong, it was indeed you who won. ”

"I never lie about strength."

"I'll tell Zilong about your war chess deduction."

"He told me."

"Okay." Yan Hua felt that the topic was a little unprogressive, and the other party's answers were all clean and neat, leaving no room for answering. The main thing is that now the mood has also changed, and it is difficult to gag anymore. "If you have a useful place, you can find me. Leave. ”

"Goodbye."

Guo Yi doesn't have much opinion on herself, and it is human nature to fight for her sweetheart. Aren't we taking up arms to protect what we hold dear? But he was a general, and in the case of heavy casualties among his soldiers, he had to deal with those who violated military orders.

"What a heroic woman." Fan Xin had already gotten up, and his sleepiness still lingered.

"What? Interested? ”

"Xiaosheng is more interested in Miss Zhao. Although I am nearly 19 years old, I am not married and have no engagement. I hope that Your Excellency will cut your love. ”

"You're going to marry her?"

"Yes, marry."

"Let's prepare the dowry."

"Okay."

This is the best result for Zhao Xin, marrying a promising rich man as the main room. Of course, since it is a marriage, Zhao Xin's identity must also be adjusted.

Zhao Xin cried and didn't want to leave, but Zhao Rou was just silent. Weighing the pros and cons, this is the best choice for their mother and daughter, as a wife, then they will be protected by the law and the patriarchal system, safe and reliable. In case Guo Yi changes his mind one day, there is still the Fan family to rely on.

"Sir. Since Xin'er is going to get married, do you also have to prepare some dowry? There is also a woman who needs to be selected for marriage. Zhao Rou opened her mouth, which was tantamount to approving Guo Yi's decision. In fact, as long as Guo Yi insists, anyone's opposition is useless. The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the woman has no room for resistance.

The dowry is naturally easy to say, it is nothing more than money. The dowry girl is a little troublesome. If a large family marries a daughter, at least one dowry girl must be included. This dowry girl is either a concubine or the bride's personal maid.

First, it is a lowly concubine, and it is difficult to marry a good family. Of course, the exception is the "finger marriage" of superiors to subordinates. The second is that the ancient famous ladies did not give birth, and the husband and wife had never been in contact before they got married, so bringing their own personal maid over can speed up the adaptation to the newlywed life.

For example, the woman of the Wang family next door, the second aunt was the dowry maid of the lady of the main room back then. When the lady of the main room is pregnant and can't wait, the dowry maid is the first in line. If you want a tool, you will take the position and be supported as a concubine.

The second aunt will naturally become the spokesperson of the main room in the family, and the male owner has a group of wives and concubines, and he will not take care of it, and he will not take care of the main room, all of which will be handed over to the second aunt to clean up.

To put it simply, the dowry girl is to find a helper for her daughter to handle housekeeping, and make a name for her daughter in her husband's family.

Of course, the greatest advantage of a dowry girl is that she will never threaten the status of the main room. Not even if she had a herd of children. Since ancient times, examples of concubines have been corrected, but there has never been a second aunt who has been too right.

Guo Yi wanted to choose a bride girl, and only Liu Min chose it alone. There are no maids at home, and there are no concubines of their own. Liu Min lowered her head, Guo Yi could decide her fate with a single word.

Xin'er is handled according to the etiquette of marrying a daughter. Think of her as my daughter. The dowry is set according to the dowry offered by the Fan family. As for the dowry girl, it is not necessary. Xin'er is familiar with housework and has read books, so it should be more than enough to deal with a few illiterate concubines. ”

"I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the etiquette." Zhao Rou actually wanted to bring Liu Min over as a dowrywoman. This is the solution to this potential threat. Liu Min's identity is very ambiguous, on the one hand, she was given by Wu Dalang as an inheritance, and her status is low. On the one hand, with a hint of "supporting orphans", Guo Yi has always maintained special respect for her.

"That's it. I don't like the dowry system, that's all. Guo Yi lightly settled the matter and ordered: "The marriage will be arranged by you." Regarding the dowry, you calculate the money in the family. Half of it is used as a dowry for the two of them, and I want to marry Liu Min within this year, and you weigh it yourself. ”
