Chapter 269 Grasp the Present
The old lady casually explained a few words, and then asked everyone to go back to their respective courtyards.
Aunt Shen was busy making up silver taels for her baby son, Ding Page was bored and went back to continue the baby, while the old lady was busy going to give the Gu Mansion a dowry! Simply come to the first cut and then play, when the time comes, people will bring it into Hao's mansion, and the whole city will know that Gu Yun married Hao Ling as his wife, can Hao Ling continue to refuse?
Hum...... Since he tried every means to find a reason not to, then she gave him a reason that he couldn't refuse!
This matter is very important, and the old lady is not good at handling it herself, so she can only find a henchman of her own to handle it. chose and chosen, but Aunt Wan became the most suitable candidate.
Wan Niang also lived up to her expectations and took the initiative to accept the matter.
Since she suffered a big loss in Xingguo Temple last time, her temperament has changed greatly, and she has almost lost all her hopes for Hao Mansion, she can't even have children, what else can she expect from Hao Mansion? The only hope is that it would be best if someone could help her support her in the future, so that her old age would not be too miserable.
And now, with a great opportunity in front of her, why shouldn't she seize it? As long as Gu Yun successfully enters the Hao Mansion, successfully marries Hao Ling for a hundred years, and becomes the housemother of the Hao Mansion smoothly in the future, does she still need to worry about the old age of this great hero?
Wan Niang respectfully squatted slightly in front of the old lady, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely handle this matter properly, and the old lady will not worry about it." ”
After so many years, the old lady also knows Wanniang's ability to do things, and this matter is not complicated, but she is just asked to go to the Gu Mansion as a representative to propose marriage, which is very simple.
"Well, go early and come back early, Yun'er will go back with you this time, and when things are in order, it's not too late to come."
Gu Yun heard that the old lady wanted Aunt Wan to go to the Gu Mansion to propose marriage, and she was very happy at the moment, so she agreed to go back to the mansion with Aunt Wan first. Anyway, once the family matter is decided, after getting married, she can stay in Hao Mansion for as long as she wants, so why rush now?
Gu Yun was happy in her heart, so her expression was stretched, her eyes were shining, and her eyebrows were more picturesque, and her skin was like congealed cream.
The more the old lady looked at it, the happier she became, and she wished she had such a granddaughter.
As soon as her granddaughter was mentioned, the old lady suddenly remembered the marriage between Hao Lingzhu and Xu Fu, and after Xu Jie returned to the capital from Taihe County last time, the old man and his wife of the Xu family also sent someone to talk back, saying that Xu Jie was very satisfied with the young lady of Hao Mansion and also intended to marry. It's just that since the last message, there hasn't been any news again, and no one has mentioned the matter of marriage.
The old lady couldn't help but be a little worried, Hao Lingzhu had reached the age of marriage, if there was no news from the Xu Mansion, then it was time for her to help Hao Lingzhu go to see the people next to her. Hao Lingzhu looks dignified and magnificent, and she is the eldest daughter of the Hao Mansion, so this husband's family also needs to choose carefully.
After thinking about it for a while, the old lady decided to send someone to the capital to spread a message, and let the lady of the second room of the Hao family go to explore the tone of the Xu Mansion first, and then make a decision before it is too late.
The old lady picked and chose among her own people, and finally chose an old mother who had been by her side for more than ten years, and asked her to go to the capital to deliver a message.
The things that should be done are almost arranged, and the old lady is in a very happy mood, so she sent someone to tell Aunt Shen that if she is okay, she will simply accompany her to Xingguo Temple again, so that she can go to worship a Bodhisattva again and bless everything well.
Aunt Shen was upset, and when she heard the old lady say that she was going to the temple to burn incense, she wished she could go over together, so that she could pray in front of the Bodhisattva, and bless Hao Yu's affairs to go smoothly, and earn all the money back as soon as possible, so she hurriedly responded.
The time was arranged on the morning of the second day, and Aunt Shen made a little arrangement for the affairs in the house, and rushed to Xingguo Temple with the old lady. Ding Yezi excused himself because he was unwell, so he did not go with them.
When the old lady and Aunt Shen came back from the temple in the afternoon, Aunt Wan had already returned from the Gu family and brought back the meaning of the Gu family. Earlier, the old lady had already hinted to the Gu family what she meant, so the Gu family also knew that their daughter was going to marry into the Hao Mansion in the future, and now Aunt Wan was ordered by the old lady to go to propose marriage, did the Gu family have any reason not to agree? hurriedly responded, and asked Aunt Wan to come back and tell the old lady, everything went according to the rules, and only let the matchmaker go to propose marriage.
Aunt Wan came back and told the meaning of the Gu family, and the old lady's mood was even more happy, and she hurriedly instructed again: "Wan Niang, then you will go out to show me tomorrow morning, find a more reliable matchmaker, and handle this matter as soon as possible, and I will rest assured as soon as possible." ”
Wan Niang hurriedly agreed.
said that Hao Yu's side, if he didn't continue to put money into it and then meet those fox friends and dog friends, Hao Ling might not be able to find those people. Since he found out that Hao Yu had embezzled 80,000 taels of silver, Hao Ling quietly sent someone to chase after Hao Yu to monitor his every move and see what kind of people he was in contact with on weekdays.
Aunt Shen's dowry is very expensive, and she has also made a lot of private money in the past ten years in Hao's mansion, except for some things that are inconvenient to exchange for silver taels immediately, the others are almost all she has.
How can such a big movement be hidden from everyone? Hao Ling also quickly got the news.
Anyone with a little brain can guess that Aunt Shen suddenly gathered such a large sum of money, which must be related to Hao Yu. It's just that I don't know if she will continue to toss Hao Yu blindly, or if she wants Hao Yu to make up for the hole in the loss.
After a flash of time, another two days passed, and after continuous tracking, Hao Ling finally found the gathering place of Hao Yu and the group, even if he rushed in with people without hesitation, and among the people he brought in, there were also officers and soldiers!
When Hao Ling led people to rush into the wing of the restaurant, he saw Hao Yu like dementia, listening to the five people fooling him in a daze. And on the wine table, there are delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there are two jars of good wine that are more than 100 years old.
The five suddenly saw a large number of people and officers rushing in, and they immediately panicked, and they were busy trying to escape one by one.
Hao Ling had already made preparations when he came in, could there be a place for a few of them to escape? All five of them were immediately arrested, and none of them were able to escape.
Hao Yu looked at Hao Ling in astonishment, and asked angrily, "Big brother, what are you doing here?" ”
Hao Ling put his hands behind his back, looked at Hao Yu unhappily, and said in a deep voice: "Hao Yu, let's go back and talk about this matter!" ”
Seeing that his friends were going to be kidnapped, and his road to making a fortune was going to be cut off, how could Hao Yu agree? He hurriedly rushed forward and blocked in front of the officers and soldiers, "What are you going to do?" These people are my friends, is there any royal law in this world? How can you just arrest people? ”
Before Hao Ling could speak, the head catcher of the government had already stepped forward and said: "Second young master, these five people are wanted criminals, they have defrauded many people all over the country over the years, we finally got the exact news, this time we want to catch these five people!" Let them no longer be a disgrace to the world! ”
Hao Yu was stunned inexplicably, and couldn't believe what the head catcher said, "Fraudster? ”
Zhang Zhutou nodded yes, "Exactly, and has been circulating in various states and counties for many years." ”
"Aren't they merchants engaged in maritime business?" Hao Yu still couldn't believe that this was a hoax, and still stubbornly asked.
Zhang Zhutou was a little impatient and Hao Yu asked, really, are the young masters of rich families all idiots? He had already made it very clear that these five people were habitual offenders, why did the second young master of Hao Mansion still chase him and ask?
Helpless, even if he is impatient, he has to pretend to be patient, otherwise, I am afraid that he will do it as a headhunter.
Zhang Zhutou reluctantly smiled and said: "Second Young Master, these people are just liars, they don't do anything all day, they know how to cheat, eat and drink, and nothing else, they may not even have seen the sea, let alone what kind of sea business they do." ”
Hao Yu's eyes were about to catch up with the size of pigeon eggs, and he looked at one of them in disbelief. He pounced on him, grabbed the man's collar tightly with both hands, and asked in a hateful voice, "Brother Tu, aren't you in the maritime business?" You tell me! You're in the business of the sea! What about our goods? ”
At present, where does Tu Xiongwei dare to make up words to deceive Hao Yu? Isn't this a clear way to dig a hole for yourself?
He smiled at Hao Yu wryly, bowed his head and said apologetically: "Second Young Master, Second Young Master, I'm really sorry, our brothers did do maritime trade business a few years ago, and they did make a lot of money, and none of the words I told you were false." However, later the ship encountered a very strong storm at sea, the whole ship fell apart, all the goods fell on the bottom of the sea, all the silver was lost, and our brothers finally picked up a life. Second young master, for the sake of our friendship these days, you pull the brothers again and get us out of prison, I promise, I really promise, I will definitely pull another batch of goods back from overseas. When the time comes, we will still be rich! ”
Seeing that Hao Yu was stunned when he heard it, it seemed that he still wanted to believe in the meaning of this Tu Majestic, Zhang Zhutou couldn't listen to it anymore, and shook off Tu Majestic's big mouth, and said viciously: "The monk opened a brothel in front of the temple, your mother is tired and crooked, right?" ”
The palm power of Zhang Zhutou was amazing, and these big mouths were thrown down, and Tu Xiongwei had already been beaten and swollen in the face, and he couldn't even speak for a while, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
Hao Ling slapped Hao Yu on the shoulder with a palm, restrained his movements, and then said to Zhang Zhutou: "Zhang Zhutou, these people will be handed over to you to take back, there is no need to interrogate carefully!" ”
