After dinner, Gao Cui went to Gao Zhao's house and talked about the dowry.

"Zhao'er, I see that your mother is worried about your dowry, and our family can't afford a dowry under this condition."

Gao Zhao didn't think about this problem, and when he heard his aunt say this, he immediately said: "I forgot about this, I have to tell my father and mother quickly, I can't worry about making a dowry for me." ”

went to the main house, Gao Zhao went straight to the point and said: "Daddy, if I want to marry my senior brother, don't think of any way for the dowry, how to prepare before, how to prepare now, what kind of Wu family is like, don't you know?" If you care about this, don't come to propose, the Wu family knows what the situation of our family is, why bother to buy a dowry? Even if you buy ten times as much, you can't look down on it. So don't toss, anyway, my family is on this condition, and I'm like this, if I'm picky, I'm not happy to marry? ”

Gao Wenlin glanced at his wife, meaning: Look, I knew my daughter would say that.

"Don't worry, Dad won't do that, do your best, don't worry about this."

"I'm going to make my point of view, there are younger brothers and sisters at the bottom, but don't spend them all on me, I regret that I didn't think about it earlier, but I also thought about it, but I didn't come up with it."

Gao Wenlin smiled: "You can pull it down, if you can make money, I can take the top prize." ”

Gao Zhao pouted and said: "Dad looks down on people, if I have a way to make money, Dad can't stop it." ”

As soon as Gao Wenlin heard it, his daughter was about to have a messy idea again, he said with a black face and seriousness: "Zhao'er, don't make up your mind, you run around and play with your father and don't care about you, but you can't make any money, no matter how poor the Gao family is, it is also a scholar's family, not relying on his daughter to show up and make a fortune in business, Dad can't afford to lose this person!" How does your brother look up? Who will dare to marry their daughter to your brother in the future? Could it be that your sister can only marry a businessman? And what do you think of the Wu family? ”

Gao Zhao immediately admitted his mistake: "Dad, I'll just say it casually, I don't want to do business, and I don't have that ability." ”

Gao Wenlin's face eased at this time, "I don't look down on Shang Jia, Shang Jia also relies on his own ability, and he suffers no less than us scholars, and some readers are not as good as Shang Jia to act above board, but this world is like this, for example, I can be friends with Shang Jia, but I will not be in-laws with Shang Jia, it is not easy for my Gao family to come to this point, my father's generation is considered a petty official, and I expect my son to be stronger than my father, so I have to pay attention to these." ”

Gao Zhao is very grateful to his father, and he will explain the truth to her since she was a child, and tell her father what she thinks, and her father will communicate with her and will not blindly reject her.

She was well-behaved, with low eyebrows and low eyes, "Dad, my daughter is taught, and she will not talk nonsense in the future, nor will she think nonsense." ”

Gao Wenlin's goddaughter Jiang never interjected, and then said that she agreed with the master's words, the Jiang family married, did not consider businessmen, the eldest sister had a shop in the county to propose, the father refused, the eldest brother-in-law Feng family is farming, so he promised to marry, to her, the scholar's family, after inquiring, immediately agreed, knowing that the Gao family is not rich, the father thought of buying a shop as a dowry, that is also rented out, never own business.

After making amends, I coaxed my father and mother to say that Gao Zhao had returned to the house, and after thinking about it, I still handed a note to my senior brother to talk about the dowry, first the villain and then the gentleman.

Let's draw a picture and let the senior brother guess and see how he reacts.

Draw a bride, covered with a head cover, next to three dowry boxes, one is smaller than a small, and the groom has a sad face.

Well, the eyebrows are eight twenty and crying.

After painting, Gao Zhao looked at it for a long time, no, this groom is like a father.

Tear up and redraw.

Draw a bride crying chirping, no, I won't cry, then draw a groom crying chirping, the bride turns around with the dowry, I think my dowry is less, bye you!

After finishing the painting, I slept peacefully, dreaming, in the dream, the senior brother cried and shouted Senior sister, don't go, Gao Zhao held his head high and waved his hand, pulled the dowry, held high the sign of the martial arts competition, and prepared to wander, no, it was to go to the rivers and lakes.

Wu Changliang received a small note, looked at it for a long time, and couldn't guess what his sister had drawn.

A child had an insect in his eye, so he rubbed his eyes, and the little lady went to get the medicine box, but this medicine box was a little bigger. It must have been the last time my sister got into the worm in her eye, so she remembered to draw this.

Smile and write back.

Gao Zhao received a small note and scratched his head, what do you mean?

Two villains hand in hand, one person and one box, the two of them smiled.

Oh, what the senior brother means is the same as our family, if I marry you, I will give you a box dowry, and if you marry me, I will marry me with a box, no more, no less, the two families are the same, fair.

That's good, that's it.

Gao Zhao returned a blessing, and the dowry was decided.

Wu Changliang replied, I'll give you medicine, you give me medicine, take care of each other.

Gao Zhao, who was happy, saw that his second uncle came early in the morning, and remembered that today's list was released, and the days passed so fast, and he felt that he had only run for two days, and half a month had passed.

"Second uncle, I'll go to the kitchen to make arrangements, go out so early, I didn't eat breakfast."

"I ate dry food in the car, don't be busy with anything else, just cook the noodles." Second Uncle Jiang said.

"Hurry up and take a break, the master has gone to the yamen, I just talked about why the second brother hasn't come yet, and the master said that he didn't publish the list so early."

Second Uncle Jiang sat down, took the tea poured by Jiang and took a sip, "My father didn't sleep well all night, he woke me up a long time ago, and our mother prepared dry food for me to eat on the road, which reminded me that I had also taken the county exam back then, but I didn't pass it, so I wasn't the material for reading, but I hope Brother Hao can pass the county exam, otherwise our father won't let him continue to study." ”

"Second brother, no, the master said that Brother Hao'er is not bad at learning, and the master still wants to wait for him to pass the county exam and come to the county to study with Mr. Jia, that Mr. Jia is good at learning, not your brother-in-law said that people will not accept it."

Jiang naturally wanted to speak for the master in front of his mother's family, and besides, Mr. Jia was good at learning, and she was not wrong.

Second Uncle Jiang was overjoyed and thanked his sister-in-law, the gentleman from Beijing must be better than the gentleman of the Liang family in the countryside, and that Mr. Liang is just a showman.

After eating, Second Uncle Jiang couldn't sit still at home, so he went to the gate of the yamen to wait for the list, Gao Zhao asked Xianglan to send a letter to Jia Xibei, saying that he would not go today.

The Jiang family is restless, the Jiang family has been looking forward to a scholar in the family since her grandfather's generation, but there is not even a child who has passed the child, Jiang Hao is the hope of several generations, as an aunt, she naturally hopes that her nephew can be selected, that is, a showman, and her father will faint with excitement.

Gao Zhao accompanied his mother, thinking about distracting her mother, so as not to make her too nervous, because her mother's body, excitement and nervousness are not good for the heart.

But when she told her jokes, her mother also listened absentmindedly, and she smiled reluctantly, but she didn't listen at all.

Gao Zhao watched his mother sit down and walk in the house for a while. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
