The day after the meeting between Zhang and Zheng's families, Zheng Cong came to Gu Yao: "Third sister-in-law, Miss Zhang is very good." ”

"What do you like about her?"

Gu Yao, an old driver, asked generously, but Zheng Cong, a young and immature young man, had red ears. After inking for a while, Zheng Cong didn't say why, but said: "Zhang Hu told me yesterday that he has been working hard to be his sister's support." ”

If that's the case, that's fine.

Gu Yao said: "Then I won't be verbose, so I'll go and talk to my sister-in-law's mother and propose marriage for you." ”

Although he was a little embarrassed, Zheng Cong still solemnly clenched his fists and said sincerely: "The third sister-in-law is hard. ”

Gu Yao is also not polite, she is really hard in this matter. The marriage is in the Hou Mansion, the Jiang family is useless, and the wife of the prince will be responsible for part of it, but the six rites are handled by Gu Yao alone. This is the first time Gu Yao has done such a thing, and he doesn't know how many details in the middle, plus the time is urgent. Yes, time is urgent. After all, there are still two Yongle Northern Expeditions, which means that there must be two battles in the future, and Zheng Cong may go to the battlefield at any time.

On the side I saw, Zhang Binglian was well-behaved and obedient, and Mrs. Shizi had no opinion. In order to save Gu Yao trouble, she told Gu Yao before Gu Yao went to see the Jiang family: "You just said that Miss Zhang is decided." ”

Playing this sloppy eye, can the Jiang family not hear it?

Facts have proved that the Jiang family really didn't hear it, Gu Yao was speechless for a long time, went home and prepared for seven or eight days, and then invited the official media to go to Zhang's house to propose marriage.

Zhang Binglian still had some thoughts about this family affair in the end, and she was worried for many days, and after hearing that the matchmaker of the Zheng family was coming, an uneasy heart finally settled. Looking at her younger brother's happy face, Zhang Binglian discussed with her mother: "According to the third lady's temperament, if I become the Zheng family, I am afraid that it will not be possible to supplement my mother's family." In addition to the dowry, the mother will not make up one or two here. ”

The eldest lady was originally the daughter of a rich peasant, and she married in when the Zhang family was in the "Yanwang Rebellion", and she was a young widow, and she didn't understand these relationships. However, she doesn't understand the benefits of not understanding, and she never commands blindly. didn't know how to raise children, so he entrusted a pair of children to his mother-in-law. At this time, she still didn't understand these marriages, so she still threw them to her mother-in-law.

After listening to her daughter's words, she smiled softly and said, "I listen to your grandmother." ”

If the old lady says not to post it, then she will not post it, and if she says to post it, even if she asks all her belongings, she will not say a word.

Old Madam Zhang was not in a hurry to speak, but said: "It always depends on the employment of the Zheng family." ”

The Zhang family originally thought that this would take a year and a half, but after Nacai asked for the expedition, the Zheng family moved out of Master Chen, and wanted to set the wedding date in June. It is strange that the Zheng family is in such a hurry to accept the question, it turns out that they are in a hurry to get married. But, June, who set the family affair in June!

But the Zheng family spoke earnestly, and with the banner of Master Chen, the old lady of the Zhang family thought for a while and nodded. The granddaughter can not be married, and if the son-in-law is not there, Zheng Hou's father will be too unkind.

After getting the specific date, Zheng Hou sent someone back and said, "Got it." ”

Those who come also give money.

Zheng Cong is his own son and son-in-law, this is Zheng Hou's last task, and there is nothing to be reluctant to. The person who came carried a stack of silver tickets, about 5,000 in number; In addition, there are thousands of acres of fertile land in Xuanfu. The good fields of Xuanfu can't reach the middle fields in the south of the Yangtze River, but that's what it means after all.

After Zheng Shizi received the things, he quickly calculated the value, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Give them all to Gu Wu." ”

Mrs. Shizi didn't quite understand the meaning, so she confirmed it for Gu Yao: "What do you mean by giving the fourth brother a dowry?" ”

"What a dowry! 10,000 taels of silver dowry, four more than the first two of us, less than the previous two? ”

Shizi snorted lightly, and when he said this, he completely ignored Zheng Zhi, an unserious adopted son, which was also a ten-thousand-dollar appointment. Just when Mrs. Shizi thought that he was going to make up for the third room again, Shizi said again: "Give the Zhang family so many dowries, and I don't know how much silver I will return." Xiao Si looked stunned, this Tian made him a private room. ”

Mrs. Shizi knew that her man had a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and immediately said, "Let's do it." In the future, I will say that the son of the world will not treat his younger brothers well, and I will not spare him! ”

But the prince said: "It's not necessary. I'm really ordinary for the second and fourth children, and I don't plan to change them in the future. The third brother is just starting a family, our two sons, the future grandson, the third brother's three sons, these people are enough for me to work, how can I have the time to care about others? ”

Mrs. Shizi: ......

Gu Yao was receiving Yao Feifei at this time. Yao Feifei just entered the house, Han Xiang led the maidservant girl down, and she was going to be hired tomorrow, and the gift list had not been completed, and it was self-evident how anxious Gu Yao was.

While checking the dowry list, she said, "Good sister, I'm so busy that my feet don't touch the ground, I really don't have any effort." When my daughter-in-law enters the door, I promise to take care of the inn with you. Now, I am relieved, the miscellaneous things in the inn don't need to be talked to me for the time being. ”

Yao Feifei said: "Haitang has completely withdrawn, and if you don't squeak, I will be busy working alone." If it doesn't work, you have to listen to it. Last month, the turnover of the main store of Xiangsi was 12,000 taels of silver. ”

I go, how much?

"Twelve thousand, you heard it right, we have done business for half a year in a month."

Yao Feifei affirmed again, Gu Yao had to put down the list in his hand and asked, "How can there be so many?" ”

"That's going to ask you." Yao Feifei poured himself a cup of tea and said slowly, "When you gave Zheng Siye a blind date, did the prince also go?" Not only did he go, but he also slipped around the inn, set up a large hall, and invited a group of people to dinner. Eating and drinking below, listening to music above, since then, the gang has taken turns to be the host, and the auditorium has not been empty for a day. ”

So, Zheng Shizi is "accidentally" helping his brother again?

Gu Yao held his forehead and said, "Okay, I understand." You think about some good things, and turn back to give them to the son on behalf of homesickness. ”

Yao Feifei rolled his eyes indecently and said, "You still need to teach me!" Didn't I think that you were familiar with Zheng Shizi and knew what he liked, so I came to you? ”

"How do I know what the uncle likes? When I have time, I will ask my sister-in-law, and then I will tell you. ”

Just now, Yao Feifei left, and the princess arrived. After listening to the princess's intentions, Gu Yao was a little disapproving, she said: "The fourth brother is actually a very straight person. What if that Binglian asked him to post this thousand acres of land upside down? ”

Mrs. Shizi said: "If you are worried about this, it is better to teach the children well." In short, there are already a lot of 10,000 taels of silver, and there can't be more. ”

In view of the fact that what she said in the previous sentence was particularly reasonable, Gu Yao stopped talking and decided to let Zheng Zhi teach his younger brother well and teach him how to make money from his daughter-in-law. Having said that, Gu Yao refused to accept the things, and pushed back to Mrs. Shizi: "Let's let the eldest brother give it to the fourth brother." ”

"He didn't have that skill."

On behalf of her husband, Mrs. Shizi did not hesitate to refuse. After realizing that saying this was a misunderstanding of the son, he explained: "The thing was given by the father, but the son just did not object to it and made a small suggestion, and there was no other credit in it, so there was no need to come forward." ”

Gu Yao couldn't persuade him, so he had to accept it, and asked Shizi what he liked. As a result, Mrs. Shizi was ashamed to say: "Whatever I like, he likes." ”

Gu Yao: ......
