Chapter Ninety-Six: Tying the Knot
Landlord Hu's eldest son was originally forced to help his father achieve this family affair in desperation, but in fact, he wished that Shang Rong'er was dead or escaped, so that Landlord Hu could not become a family and died quickly.
In this way, the Hu family's property will naturally fall into his hands, and at that time, he will no longer have to look at anyone's face.
With a roll of his eyes, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhou coldly, "I said Second Mrs. Shang, you said that our Hu family is a Qinglou, what kind of woman can enter if you say you can enter?" Although my father is old, we are also serious people, and the wife we marry must be a serious girl who is pure and clean. Since this is already a ravaged person, where is he still qualified to enter our Hu family's house? ”
Zhou heard that the Hu family was about to regret it, and hurriedly begged anxiously, "Master Hu, I have to ask you to go back and plead with Old Man Hu, so that he can take Shang Rong'er into the door!" You see, the bride price has been delivered, and you won't regret asking for it back, right? This hurts the face of your Hu family. ”
"It is much better to recover the bride price than to let this cheap goods step into our door and ruin our lintel's reputation." As he spoke, Master Hu shook off Zhou's pull without saying anything, and went back with someone.
Seeing that things were about to come to naught, Zhou stomped his feet and had to give up.
Before leaving, she glanced at Shang Rong'er resentfully, gritted her teeth and said, "Since you have left the business, you will never step into the door of my business in the future!" You are no longer a merchant's daughter, just live in poverty in this remote countryside! ”
After saying that, she turned around with relief and led people away angrily.
When Shang Rong'er saw Zhou leaving, not only was she not disappointed, but like everyone else, she put her heart down, and her face gradually became happy.
Gu Ze was still so ashamed that he didn't dare to look at her, his heart was "poof" and "poof" jumping, and he looked helpless, which made people want to laugh when they looked at it.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment of the two parties, Gu Zhen stepped forward and took Shang Rong'er's hand, and said warmly: "Since you said such a thing, you must also have taken a fancy to my brother, right?" If you don't dislike it, then you can stay here and be my brother and sister, how about it? ”
Shang Rong'er had two red glows floating on her face, although she was silent, but that happy appearance had already made people understand her intentions.
After getting along for a few days, Mr. and Mrs. Gu have long fallen in love with this knowledgeable and amiable eldest lady. I just feel that she doesn't have the posture of a young lady at all, and she is more gentle and kind than the daughters of ordinary people's families, and I wish I had such a good daughter-in-law.
They were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together, and insisted on leaving Ye Yun'er's family, killing chickens and geese, just like the New Year's holiday, making the house lively and lively, celebrating today's happy events.
When she arrived at the county seat the next day, Ye Yun'er heard that the Hu family wanted all the bride price back, and dismissed the marriage contract with Shang Rong'er, and her heart finally let go.
When she went back to the town, she asked Gu Ze to marry Shang Rong'er as soon as possible, so that she could live in the Gu family, so that she would not be gossiped about, and she would save the merchants from looking for trouble in the future.
Gu Ze was full of worries, stroked a blind eye, and sighed, "If my eye is good, I can give her some minimum decency, but ......"
Ye Yun'er knew that he was too inferior, and said disapprehantly: "Miss Shang values your character, not your appearance, why should you be arrogant?" ”
Seeing that Gu Ze was still preoccupied, Ye Yun'er had no choice but to give up and decided to ask Shang Rong'er in person.
At night, after Ye Yun'er had dinner, she came to Gu's house, and in front of the Gu family, she jokingly mentioned the matter again.
Aunt Gu also happily agreed, and even said that she wished she had such a good daughter-in-law.
"If anyone marries such a good daughter-in-law, it will be a blessing for eight lifetimes!"
Such unstingy praise made Shang Rong'er's face flush with shyness.
But in a blink of an eye, Aunt Gu said with some concern: "It's just a pity, my Gu Ze is a blind cripple, and I think he is a little unworthy of Miss Shang." ”
Ye Yun'er was about to ask about this, but she didn't want Aunt Gu to say it for her, and it would save her more trouble.
saw Shang Rong'er smack her lips, and said resolutely: "Since I have made up my mind to enter your house, I won't care about these people." Besides......"
She glanced at Gu Ze and continued embarrassedly: "I think Brother Gu is very good, kind and responsible, and he is exactly the man that many women want to rely on...... As for his blindness, it is insignificant in the face of these conducts. ”
Listening to Shang Rong'er's heartfelt words, everyone present couldn't help but feel relieved.
Gu Ze was even more embarrassed and excited, and his smirking appearance made people can't help but be amused.
Within a few days, the Gu family held a decent wedding for Gu Ze and Shang Rong'er.
With the participation of Mu Yihan and Ye Yun'er, the wedding was particularly vigorous and magnificent, attracting many villagers to watch, and even the village chief and other squires came to drink and celebrate.
After the wedding banquet, everyone gradually dispersed, and the Gu family regained calm.
In the wedding room, Gu Ze mustered up his courage, grabbed Shang Rong'er's slender hand, and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to make money and build a house that belongs to us." Although I can't give you the glory and wealth you used to have, I also want you to live a decent and decent life in front of others, and I will definitely not live up to your trust in me. ”
Shang Rong'er blushed slightly, nodded, and said sincerely: "I'm not rare for any glory and wealth, as long as you are good to me, it's enough." ”
Gu Ze hurriedly raised his hand and swore, "I swear, I will be good to you in this life, and I will never treat you badly!" ”
With his vow, Shang Rong'er's last bit of vigilance against him was completely gone, and she leaned on his chest peacefully, her cheeks dyed with happiness.
But even if Shang Rong'er said that he didn't care about his disability, Gu Ze still minded very much, for fear that he would inadvertently frighten Shang Rong'er.
He secretly went to the hospital a few times, hoping that he would have the right eyes that could be grafted onto his eyes.
The hard work paid off, and in the end he met this opportunity.
But when he heard that it would cost him a hundred taels to receive his eyes, he was speechless and didn't dare to count on it anymore.
Frustrated, he told Shang Rong'er about the incident.
When Shang Rong'er was talking to Ye Yun'er, she was quick to talk about it for a while.
Ye Yun'er listened and secretly thought about it.
She now has four restaurants, each of which brings her two or three hundred taels a month. Now, she has two or three thousand taels in her pocket.
But just a hundred taels is a trivial matter for her.
Immediately, she offered to give them a hundred taels of silver for their urgent needs.
