Chapter 207: The Fig Leaf
He tried to push away the people who were blocking the door of the ancestral hall and ran in several times, but to no avail.
Wang Yueniang listened to the shout, and a sneer overflowed at the corner of her mouth, just such a man, is he still a treasure?
If it weren't for the fact that his family has a family background, who would be impatient to be good with him?
Don't look at her and Gu Chengyi for so many years, Gu Chengyi is very shrewd and didn't give her much benefit.
Let's just say that Lin Wu, although he has no silver, but he still knows how to be considerate, and if he saves some private silver, he will buy her jewelry and please her, which shows that he also has a heart or two.
Gu Chengyi was completely different, he pointed to the two small money, and took advantage of her with the intention of not playing for nothing.
If she didn't want to marry into the Gu family, she would be better than him if she picked someone at random in the village.
Wang Yueniang glanced at Gu's father, and now she can only point to Gu Chengyi that his father is soft-hearted, otherwise she won't end well.
The other Gu family members are not uncommon with the baby in her belly.
"Three thousand taels is really too much, Patriarch Yang, if you sincerely want to reconcile, then say a sincere number."
Three thousand taels! Who is shelving, who doesn't have flesh pain? Uncle Gu also felt that it was too much.
Gu Chengyi was even more reluctant to live or die, and he could see that the Yang family just wanted to blackmail the money, otherwise why would they spend so much energy to fight with them?
He glanced at Gu Chengyu and saw him sitting in his seat, as if he was thinking about something.
He was indignant again, the Gu family was going to lose money, and he didn't know that he stood up to suppress the arrogance of the Yang family, and he didn't know what he was doing in the exam, and he was bullied by the Yang family.
How did he know that Gu Chengyu was thinking about the Gu family's clan rules! The only person in the Gu family who has a reputation now is him, and he should be the one who drafts the clan rules.
After he prepared it, he took it to Uncle Gu for a look. From this day on, the clan rules will be enforced.
Gu Chengyi's matter made the clan lose face, and punishment was necessary.
When he goes to the capital, he will definitely not be able to restrain the clansmen, Uncle Gu is holding the clan rules, even if he punishes people, it can be regarded as reasonable.
Patriarch Yang and Boss Yang glanced at them, and they also knew that if they wanted three thousand taels, the Gu family would definitely not be willing.
Especially when Wang Yueniang was drugged, even when he went to the Yamen, maybe he had a quibble, and he had to say that Wang Yueniang was murdering for money, if it was too much, it would become their Yang family's plan in the end, and it was also possible.
Boss Yang pulled Patriarch Yang aside and began to mumble.
For Boss Yang, of course, the more silver, the better, he advocated saying two thousand eight hundred taels first, and then sitting on the ground to repay the money, and Patriarch Yang also agreed.
Then the two clans began to argue again, Gu Chengyu didn't want to sit here and listen to their nonsense, so he stood up and planned to go back home first.
"Xiaobao!" Father Gu couldn't help it, and when he saw that Gu Chengyu was going back, he hurriedly called out.
For Wang Yueniang, he doesn't know what to do!
"Daddy!" Gu Chengyu walked to Daddy Gu's side and knew that Daddy Gu was in a dilemma.
However, Gu Chengyi spent money, and the Yang family would no longer soak Wang Yueniang in the pig cage. If Wang Yueniang is immersed in the pig cage, then Gu Chengyi is fine, wouldn't outsiders want to wear the Gu family and bully people by relying on the strength?
"Daddy! If you want that baby, you have to ask the second brother, after all, it's his, isn't it? ”
Gu Chengyu won't be in charge, if he helps make a decision, then Gu Chengyi will always have something to say in the future.
Daddy Gu also felt that it was reasonable, and he had to ask the second child about this matter.
Gu Chengyu thought about it, after all, he was a member of the Gu family, and it was not very good to walk at this time, so he sat down again.
It's just that this matter is not over yet, no one cares about Wang Yueniang, but he can't let this woman ruin the reputation of the Gu family.
After the Yang clan and Gu Chengyi fought for more than half an hour, the two sides lowered the silver money to two thousand taels, and on the Yang side, they refused to lose it anyway.
"Patriarch Yang! You have already negotiated the silver, and as a lifter, I couldn't interfere in this matter before. Otherwise, there is a suspicion of bullying. ”
Gu Chengyu saw that they had already negotiated, so he was ready to tell his plan.
"That is, Gu Juren understands the righteousness, and I admire it."
No matter what Gu Chengyu's reason was, he didn't intervene in this matter, and their Yang family could get the silver so smoothly, so they had to thank Gu Chengyu for raising his noble hand.
Gu Chengyu saw that Patriarch Yang was still on the road, nodded, and continued: "This matter alone has made our Gu and Yang families lose face, but I have thought of a way here, which can not only protect the reputation of the two families, but also have a lot of money, I wonder if Patriarch Yang can listen to the next plan?" ”
Patriarch Yang has a good thing to save the face of the two families, and he is naturally willing, after all, the person who suffers the most in terms of reputation in this matter is their Yang family.
"I want to hear about it!" Yang Cheng arched his hand towards Gu Chengyu and said.
"The reason is because of Wang Yueniang's widowhood, if the Yang family had already given Wang Yueniang a letter of resignation before today, then this matter can be regarded as matchless fornication at most, and it cannot be regarded as adultery."
Although there will still be a reputation for indiscretion, Yang Jiaming has saved his face.
The reputation of their Gu family is not much loss, this is the case in ancient times, men make mistakes, called romance, women make mistakes, called Tian shameless, n baby slut.
If it is passed on, it will only be a romantic affair.
Patriarch Yang's heart moved, this method is good, but?
"Raise people, this method can be regarded as the best of both worlds, but the village knows that Wang Yueniang is still my Yang family's wife, and they don't believe it when they say that we have divorced her!"
Gu Chengyu smiled slightly, "I don't believe it matters, let's just say it." They are not your Yang family, your family gave a letter of resignation, is it possible that the village is still shouting? ”
Boss Yang was not happy to hear this, if he said so, what was their arrest in the morning?
"That's not possible, then what has become of our Yang family? Given the letter of resignation, we have no reason to make trouble! ”
Boss Yang squinted at Patriarch Yang, he knew that the patriarch must be for the sake of the clan, but if this is the case, then what should his family do?
"Isn't that easier? Let's just say that you don't know that your mother has given a letter of divorce. ”
In fact, Gu Chengyu also felt far-fetched for this reason, but if the Yang family had insisted on this matter, they would have given the letter of resignation a long time ago, and now it is a misunderstanding, what can those people in the village do?
Of course, the shame behind it must be indispensable. Only today, the Yang family just didn't agree to this, and their reputation was almost lost.
Gu Chengyu's suggestion is just to maintain the reputation of the two families! They don't care about the other whispers and ridicule behind them.
Patriarch Yang glanced at Gu Chengyu deeply, only to see Gu Chengyu looking at him with a smile, he was stunned, and remembered the sword of Gu Chengyu's entourage.
In fact, in this matter, he also knew that if he agreed or not, the Yang family's face was lost. It's just that this has a clear statement, and it can be regarded as a fig leaf.
Gu Chengyu no longer ignored Boss Yang, he believed that Patriarch Yang would definitely be able to convince him.
