Mrs. Yang San couldn't help but praise Tong Er's shopkeeper: "What a capability!" ”

Tong Er's shopkeeper is honored.

Mrs. Yang San led Yu Tang and Miss Xu to busily decorate the house here, while Yin Hao forcibly dragged Pei Yan to the restaurant where he met the Gu family.

I don't know how Gu Chang told his family, it was Gu Chang's eldest uncle who came to negotiate the marriage with the Yin family, that is, Gu Shou, the sect leader of the Gu family, but Gu Chang's father did not come forward.

Gu Shou's eyes lit up when he saw Pei Yan, and he stepped forward with a smile and took the initiative to greet Pei Yan.

The last time Gu Xi and Pei Tong were engaged, it was Gu Xuan who came forward on behalf of the Gu family.

He said regretfully: "Last time I heard that you went to Huai'an, I was still thinking about how it was so unlucky. I also thought about waiting for September to invite you to come over to eat crabs and enjoy chrysanthemums, but I didn't expect our two families to be so fateful and meet at the marriage in Chaoyang, which shows that our two families are destined to be in-laws. ”

This was a bit flattering, and Gu Chaoyang was very uncomfortable listening to it.

Fortunately, because of Gu Xi, Pei Yan and Gu Shou became equals, so that he would not be too embarrassed.

Pei Yan looked down on the second room of the Gu family very much, and his impression of Gu Shou, who had been working hard to support the Gu family, was okay, plus Gu Chang's marriage would be officially decided today, Gu Chang would definitely have a lot of trouble in the future, he was in a very good mood, and he was not stingy with his gentleness, and said to Gu Shou with a smile: "I didn't expect to see you here." Are you alright? A few days ago, I heard my mother say that the eldest son of your house contracted a cold, is he feeling better now? ”

Of course Gu Shou's son is fine, otherwise Pei Yan would not have spoken about this matter. Gu Shou smiled: "He just didn't listen to the old man, and he took off his clothes too early." After that, he pulled his eldest son out to meet Pei Yan.

His eldest son is more than ten years older than Pei Yan, and it can be seen that Pei Yan can only be called "Uncle Shi", and Pei Yan is in a better mood.

Everyone sat down to agree on Gu Chang's marriage, Pei Yan regarded himself as an ornament, didn't say a word, and took the time to think about the mountains and forests of Yu Tang's house.

Of course, the best way is to plant other things, but if Yu Tang insists and does not agree to replant, then he can only work on the sea buckthorn tree.

Sea Buckthorn Tree ...... It's common in the northwest, but it's almost never in the south, especially Lin'an, can you work it? And if there is anything special about the sea buckthorn fruit that can be used to coax people, he has to find someone to ask. It is better to be able to use medicine. When the time comes, you should be able to sell it as a dried fruit or candied fruit.

Pei Yan finally stayed up until he ran out of lunch, thinking that they would discuss the specific marriage matters in the afternoon, so he didn't wait here, and wanted to go back to see what Yu Tang was doing, but he was pulled by Gu Shou: "You are not someone else, and you still need your help to make up your mind about some things!" ”

Gu Shou still takes good care of the son and daughter left by his cousin's wife, especially when Gu Chang has a career and Gu Xi has an idea, he is more willing to help.

Gu Chang's father is unreliable, when he discussed Gu Chang's marriage with Gu Chang's father before, Gu Chang's father was quite happy at first, but after listening to a few words from Gu Chang's stepmother, he began to worry about money. What else do they say about the poetry and books of their Gu family, if they pay too much attention to money and things, I am afraid that they will be looked down upon by other Jiangnan families at that time. Gu Changding, according to the ancient etiquette, just find a way to send the wild goose, and what other tea, wine, and dim sum, the meaning, just form pairs.

He almost didn't say that it would be good to just send a pair of geese.

Gu Shou knew that he couldn't count on Gu Chang's father in this matter. But he can't break the rules of the clan and spend more money on Gu Chang's marriage, nor can he take out his own money to subsidize Gu Chang.

Thinking of Gu Chang's shabby appearance when he got married, and then thinking of Gu Chang tidying himself up in a bright and decent manner no matter where he went, he was not only sad in his heart, but also wanted to help Gu Chang and Gu Xi.

Then the best way is to let Pei Yan be present to testify, not that Gu Chang neglected his in-laws, but that Gu Chang's father is shameless and unwilling to spend money for his eldest son, so that when Gu Xi comes out of the cabinet, if the dowry is not very good-looking, Pei Yan can also tolerate one or two, and it is even possible to pity Gu Xi because of this, and say a few good words for Gu Xi in front of Pei Lao'an, Gu Xi's life in the Pei family will not be too sad.

He thought about it very long-term and thoughtful, but he couldn't stand Gu Chang and felt embarrassed. He said: "Uncle, Wang Qibao is in Hangzhou City, Yaoguang is a little busy these days, don't force him." Then he said to Pei Yan, "It's all trivial things on my side, and you are not an outsider, so I won't be polite to you." ”

Pei Yan saw Gu Chang's reluctant smile, and knew that the next thing was not very good-looking, and he didn't want others to know what role he played in the marriage of the Yin and Gu families, let alone sit here and listen to the Yin and Gu families.

He unceremoniously got up and took his leave.

Yin Hao definitely wants to keep him.

It was the first time he presided over the marriage of the younger generations in the family, and it was also the first time that there were no "aunts" and "sisters" around him, he was afraid of doing something unruly and making the Yin family laughed at. This is also why he had to come with Pei Yan.

Now that Pei Yan was leaving, seeing that the Gu family couldn't keep anyone, he immediately stood up and said to Gu Shou: "You are an elder, I'll send you off Yaoguang." After speaking, he also gave Gu Chang a look and asked him to accompany Gu Shou.

Gu Chang nodded.

Yin Hao sent Pei Yan out of the private room, and just took two steps before saying, "You are leaving, what should I do here?" ”

Pei Yan glanced at Yin Hao.

No wonder others say that the men of the Yin family can't do anything but study and be officials.

It seems that Yin Hao is also a master who has been spoiled by the Yin family's "aunts and grandmothers".

He said, "Didn't you bring a matchmaker?" When the time comes, let the matchmaker talk about it. You just nod or shake your head, don't you even know this? ”

Yin Hao raised his hand and was about to pat Pei Yan's head.

Pei Yan hurriedly took a few steps forward, avoided Yin Hao's palm, and said unhappily: "Don't be polite to me just because you are my brother, be careful that I leave your family alone." ”

"Are you in charge?" Yin Hao quickly caught up with Pei Yan and said, "Won't I nod and shake my head?" The question isn't when to nod and when is it appropriate to shake your head? You speak well to me. Don't forget, this family business was recommended by you, and if my cousin doesn't marry well, you don't want to live in peace. ”

Pei Yan didn't feel a little guilty, and said: "If you feel bad, no matter how much I recommend you, you can't be tempted, don't push anything on me." ”

I also feel that Yin Hao really has no merit except for being an official and studying, and he is still raising an outer room outside and making an illegitimate child, thinking about it, he has a little sympathy for Mrs. Yin.

Yin Hao tugged at his arm and said, "You hurry up and give me an idea, if their dowry is very valuable, what should I do?" Otherwise, you open your private vault and let me pick two things. ”

These old friends of these families all know that Old Lady Qian left all his private collections to Pei Yan by name, and the unique antiques that are difficult to find for others can only be liked or disliked by him.

The Gu family is also one of the four major surnames in the south of the Yangtze River, although it is not as good as before in recent years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, in case they take out any antique calligraphy and painting as a dowry, how can they prepare corresponding things to marry their aunts and grandmothers to support the façade.

To say that the Yin family is not worse than the Gu family, but the bad thing is that their family values their aunts and grandmothers more, so the aunts and grandmothers will have a lot of money to marry when they go out of the pavilion, and the good things in the family are almost scattered, which is also an important reason why the Yin family gradually has some difficulties in property when they reach Yin Hao's hands.

Pei Yan knew a lot about the affairs of the Yin family, and when he saw Yin Hao's idea of beating his private treasury, he couldn't help but say in a weird way: "I said, why do you have to ask me to come?" So I'm waiting here! You think too much, though. It is impossible for the Gu family to give anything particularly valuable as a dowry, and you don't have to worry about not being able to afford it at all. ”

Yin Hao's heart tightened, grabbed Pei Yan's shoulder, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Pei Yan felt that since the Gu family was not authentic, he couldn't complain that he would dig a pit for Gu Chang again, who would let him provoke their little girl when he was fine!

"My sister-in-law is looking forward to my nephew getting married as soon as possible!" He said, "But Miss Gu's dowry list is said to have not been sent to me until now. ”

In other words, the Gu family dragged their daughter's marriage and wanted the Pei family to make concessions.

Yin Hao was dumbfounded.

This is unthinkable in their Yin family.

Pei Yan saw it and felt that Yin Hao and their Pei family were both victims, and he should be more lenient with Yin Hao. He couldn't help but say softly, "You don't have to worry. Your Yin family takes a fancy to Gu Chaoyang and not his father, no matter what his father does, you just need to talk to the sect master of the Gu family about how to deal with your aunt's marriage. After I have a nephew, is it an uncle who likes to be generous and buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone and snacks and candy? Or do you like a grandfather who doesn't pluck a hair? ”

When Yin Hao heard this, his heart was settled, and he couldn't help but ask Pei Yan again: "How to agree with the Gu family about the marriage of my aunt and grandmother?" ”

Pei Yan wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this, but when he thought of Gu Chang, he still patiently said to Yin Hao: "What are the agreements between the aunts and grandmothers of your family and the husband's family?" ”

Yin Hao thought about it carefully and said, "There is no agreement!" Since it is their dowry, it is naturally at their disposal. ”

Alas! No wonder everyone was proud to marry a girl from the Yin family in the early years.

Pei Yan said: "When you meet different people, you have to deal with them differently. If it were me and I met someone like Gu's, I would have agreed that what would happen if my aunt and grandmother were married in their house? If so, how to deal with it? What should I do if I have children after marriage? What if you have no children? ”

All in all, it is impossible to let the Gu family benefit and take advantage.

Yin Hao, a man who never cared about household chores, suddenly realized that Pei Yan had opened a door for him. He said eagerly, "Look at me! ”

It's like bullying people.

However, it is indeed to bully people - people have not married before, so they guard against this and that, and they obviously do not regard the people of the Gu family as gentlemen.

Pei Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth and decided to add more firewood: "There's no way for me to say this, who made the elders of the Gu family so unreliable." I don't know what to do with my nephew's marriage yet? Fortunately, the old lady's filial piety has not yet passed, and he can help them cover up one or two. ”

Yin Hao suddenly felt the same hatred for the enemy, and said to Pei Yan: "If it weren't for Gu Chaoyang's sake, who would be impatient to deal with such a person." ”

Pei Yan smiled: "Who said it wasn't." ”

That's when he walked away.
