Gu Yao's dowry, Old Man Gu held a family meeting very cautiously.

The old man said: "This family affair is not the right one, and it can't climb the Zheng family." You don't have to slap a swollen face and become fat, I mean, let the Zheng family hire four thousand taels. Marquis Meng made up a dowry of 1,000 taels, and the Gu family also paid 1,000 taels. Girl, when your aunt got married, she didn't have this number. ”

You passed your aunt out, and the dowry was almost from the Zhang family, what do you sigh about!

Gu Yao didn't complain about this, but only asked the old man: "Grandfather, when the eldest sister gets married, how much does the public account dowry?" ”

The eldest man, who was originally listless, immediately jumped up when he heard this question: "Dad, take a look, my niece knows that she wants to marry Jin'er!" ”

The old man said hatefully: "She did such an ugly thing, if she doesn't kill her, it's already a blessing, what do you want to dowry!" ”

The eldest man was furious: "You are just stingy, you are eccentric, your grandson is a human, and your granddaughter is not a human?" ”

is so old, and he was yelled at by his son, the old man was unhappy, and he hated Gu Jin even more, because he said: "Didn't you marry her?" A girl with corrupt personal morality, do you want me to marry her all the money from the family? ”

Gu Yao looked at the father and son coldly, and then looked at the silent father on the side, the eldest aunt who was completely out of the matter, she suddenly understood why her grandmother did not return home, and her grandmother stayed in the capital on the grounds of serving her mother-in-law.

Quietly approaching Gu Tongzhi, Gu Yao said: "Dad, the eldest sister didn't want to marry in the public school, so I don't want it either." ”

She doesn't want it, which means that the three girls in the second room don't want it. Gu Tongzhi had to think about it carefully, thought about it, and said: "Let's still want it, the more the dowry, the more the foundation of the body." Like your grandmother, if it weren't for the rich dowry, how could she be so comfortable? Where did Daddy get the money to feed you? ”

Gu Yao grinned, the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, she said: "Believe me, Dad, he has collected a thousand taels at this time, and he will have more in the future." ”

Gu Tongzhi was dumbfounded for a long time, and finally nodded, got up, and said to the two people in the quarrel: "Father, eldest brother, don't argue." Because the family bought this house, it took a few years to send it faster. If where will all the money come for the girls to marry, and how can there be money for the boys to marry their daughters-in-law? What's more, the eldest brother is such a girl, and she doesn't want to marry in the public school. I have three daughters, and Zhen'er is still a concubine, a large sum of silver. ”

The eldest lord immediately said: "Yes, it should be like this." ”

The old man said: "The fifth girl is special, the third and fourth, how can they be the same as her?" ”

Then I can't ask for your silver! Gu Tongzhi immediately said firmly: "Father said so, and the five girls can't even ask for it." She is special, and she is also a concubine, how can she overpower her sister? The rules are the rules, and the rules of the Gu family are for the eldest man, so they must be obeyed. ”

The old man couldn't say anything against it.

If they are opposed, then why should the family business be given to the eldest son?

Fang Shi glanced at Gu Tongzhi and had to get up to support him: "Old lady, let me say something, is it feasible?" ”

When the family is in motion, women can participate, but they hardly need to open their mouths. The Fang family is a clan woman, and the old man has to give some face, so he said, "You say." ”

Fang said with a smile: "What the second brother said is that when the rules are set, they must be followed. But there are favors in addition to the rules, and there is no obstacle if there is no silver in the public. I, who is an aunt, don't have a daughter, I like this child very much, so I have to add one or two to her as a dowry. ”

That's a great idea!

The old man said, "That's the reason." Second, the girl is yours, and you can take care of the dowry yourself. ”

Gu Yao was not satisfied with this result, but it was much better than taking money directly from the public, so he nodded at Gu Tongzhi. Gu Tongzhi responded to the old man's words and prepared to go back to talk to Gu Yao about the dowry, but the old man asked: "How much dowry are you going to give?" ”

Gu Tongzhi had no choice but to say: "When Brother Heng'er's mother was here before, we had already discussed. Yaoyao's family affair is very good, and it doesn't hurt to have a little money, so she is the same as Yingying, she has two hundred taels of money to prepare things, plus two hundred acres of middle fields. ”

In addition to the field property, the house in the second room next to the Wanping County Office and Huaihua Temple is going to be moved over by the second room after the old lady is a hundred years old, and no one will be given, including Gu Tongzhi's partiality Gu Yao.

The second room had not prepared the dowry of the princess in the first place, and these were agreed upon by Gu Tongzhi, Xiao Li, and the old lady a long time ago.

Let's say that after listening to the words of the second son, the old man muttered in his mouth, to the effect: "Shuntianfu has one season a year, and the output is there, and the two hundred acres of Zhongtian are only five or six hundred taels." plus other necessary items, the total is not more than a thousand dowries. But with the addition of making up some points privately, you can still ask for a dowry of 2,000 taels. ”

After the calculation was understood, the old man stopped squeaking.

As a result, the Zheng family was hired for ten thousand taels of silver!

The matchmaker is even more amazing, and the prefect of Shuntian is indeed on the road.

When Old Man Gu didn't know what to do, the prefect of Lu spoke: "Zheng Hou also said that the Gu family does not need to prepare a dowry according to the dowry. The identity of the third master is now well known. The Zheng family's future family business will not be distributed to him, and this dowry is the private money given to Zheng Sanye after the Hou Ye and the prince discussed. Yes, as long as the Gu family does not pay any money. ”

Although Old Man Gu and Gu Tongzhi understand, they are not happy in the end. If the man presses the woman, the man gives 10,000, they can't give 5,000, and they have to have 4,000. Now these two thousand are all hard to make.

Governor Lu looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Don't worry too much. You know, I have one son. Although the lady recognized a righteous daughter, she was far away in the end. The insider will arrive later, and she has some dowry from the Yao family girl to Ling Ai, and she can also make up for it. ”

It's just a makeup, so how many coins can there be?

The old man who thought so, when he saw the things sent by Mrs. Lu, his old face was hot.

Let's take a look at these makeup additions.

The Meng family gave Gu Yao about 1,000 taels of gold and silver jewelry, two full boxes, and two famous paintings; Mrs. Lu added a small house in Sanjin in the north of the mansion, although the location is not very good, it is worth 1,800 silver; Yao Feifei gave the enlightenment bookstore in Shuntianfu directly to Gu Yao; Song Haitang divided the mountainous land she occupied in Huairou with 200 acres of Gu Yao.

When Mrs. Lu handed over the things to the Fang family, who was in charge of Gu Yao's marriage, she said with a smile: "We are all laymen, and we are mainly profitable, and the eldest lady is not vulgar about us." ”

The eldest lord is a commoner, and Gu Chen is not yet at the level of asking his mother for a decree, so the Fang family has to be called Mrs. Yi. The title is a trivial matter, even if it is this makeup, it is richer than the Gu family itself, and the Fang family is also a little embarrassed.

As for Gu Yao, after reading Song Haitang and Yao Feifei's letters, he accepted the makeup of the two, but refused to ask Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu didn't do it, because she asked, "Why don't you accept what they want?" ”

Needless to say?

However, since you want to hear it, I'll tell you.

"Let's talk about begonias first. Madame knows, we met when we were young, and we had a good personal relationship. These 200 acres of mountainous land were prepared by Song Haitang early in the morning and given to me by Granny He. She gave me these things, her mother-in-law wrapped 2,000 wedding cakes, and her mother's family wrapped 100 purses containing rewards, and I took them all. This is my love with the two families and with the begonias. ”

Song Haitang's share of 200 acres of mountainous land is not worth much silver. The two families are in such a relationship, Mrs. Lu had to nod and say, "That's it." You don't have such a relationship with Feifei, how can you accept her? ”

Gu Yao didn't answer, but handed the letter in his hand to Mrs. Lu.
