Chapter 30: Confidants are hard to find

The old wooden ladder creaked a dozen times, and Mrs. Xu went upstairs, and the door of a pavilion on the second floor was open as if waiting for the guests to enter.

Mrs. Xu didn't want to go straight to the pavilion that opened the door, and a middle-aged man with a tiger's back sat cross-legged.

At first glance, Mrs. Xu thought that she had seen black impermanence in the daytime, so she stroked her chest and asked cautiously, "But General Gu?" ”

Gu Ren clenched his fists, the sweat in his palms flowed out of his fingers and wet his trousers, and he said, "Mrs. Xu, please take a seat." He glanced sideways at the curtain behind him.

How could this strange movement escape Mrs. Xu's eyes, she took two steps and knelt on the futon, but her eyes fell on the curtain.

Behind the curtain is a screen, which depicts the scenery of the mountains and dews, which is not unusual.

"Mrs. Xu!"

Gu Ren suddenly raised her voice and retracted her gaze sympathetically, and smiled apologetically: "I don't know why General Gu sent me a post to invite me?" ”

"What are the two of us currently involved in, what am I for?" Guren straightened his back.

Mrs. Xu's beautiful eyes turned, and she thought that General Gu should have learned from Mrs. Ruan that the third miss could only marry Yuan'er, and now she came to settle the account with her, and smiled on her face: "After the third miss marries into the Xu family, I will treat her as my own daughter, general, please rest assured." ”

You regard Miss as your own daughter, so what should your son think of Miss as a person? Gu Ren is not stupid, he will also collect information from others, Xu Yuan's heart is not a secret to the second young lady Ruan Miaoyi here.

Gu Ren said: "Miss has been pampered since she was a child, and her food, clothing, and entertainment are all compared to the standards of the princess, and Mrs. is confident that she can still do this after she marries into the Xu family?" ”

Princess's Standard ...... The ten fingers in Mrs. Xu's sleeves rose and fell like waves, and she was shocked in her heart, according to such a purpose, she wanted to eat and wear the Xu family's family.

Raising such a delicate girl, doesn't the Ruan family have mountains of gold and silver?

The corners of Mrs. Xu's mouth twitched slightly, and her smile cracked: "Can you ...... Yes. "When the master is promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it should be enough to double the number of Yulu.

Gu Ren shook his head, this Mrs. Xu underestimated the power of the princess and the general. "No, the Xu family can't."

What do you mean? Mrs. Xu had a smile on her face.

At that time, there was a sound of panting outside the pavilion, the shopkeeper was sweating profusely, with two hemp ropes on his shoulders, and he walked in three steps one step, and a wooden board on the wooden ladder carried a wooden box and moved slowly.

"The general worked hard to save the little one's life, your object is too big......

Gu Ren got up and walked out quickly, Mrs. Xu turned her head sideways, and after a while, she saw Gu Ren dragging a large wooden box into the door with her bare hands, and the pavilion shook three times as if it was about to collapse.

"Madame, you can take a look." Guren sat down again.

Mrs. Xu gently opened the door of the box to reveal a gap, paused for a moment and couldn't see the doorway, she simply pushed, and the contents of the box suddenly reappeared.

"Wow—"

The shopkeeper stuck out his tongue and rested outside, when he saw a dazzling light shooting from the pavilion. out, legs and feet like a soft loach back against the wall slipped.

Mrs. Xu was also shocked and her tongue stiffened, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Gu Ren said: "10,000 taels of gold in exchange for the Xu family to dissolve the marriage contract, only earn and not lose." ”

Mrs. Xu looked at Gu Ren with both eyes, and was a little caught off guard when she encountered such a ridiculous thing for the first time.

In the play, the man is respectful and dustless, throwing a stack of silver tickets on the table, and saying to the woman with his nostrils facing the sky: "The money belongs to you, leave my son!" "It is only common sense that this kind of development should be developed, why did you change the script here with Miss Ruan Jiasan?

"I don't agree?" Mrs. Xu is a little lacking in confidence.

Gu Ren said: "It's simple, the Xu family needs to hire 20,000 taels of gold at that time." ”

"Isn't it difficult for you to be strong!"

Mrs. Xu is angry, although the Xu family has been a hairpin for generations, the ancestors have never produced a third-grade high-ranking official, and the accumulation of several generations of Yulu cannot make up 20,000 taels of gold.

Is it hard?

Gu Ren smiled, "A few days ago, the eldest prince of the Zunfu sent three boxes of kites, and the young lady made 50,000 taels of gold by transforming them and selling them to Li Yuanwai. ”

He suddenly understood why Wen'er looked disgusted every time he talked about the Xu family, he had no money, how could he afford to support the third lady empty-handed.

"You're forcing Liangshan." Mrs. Xu's tone is not good, although she is a woman, she will never give in when it comes to her son's happiness.

Gu Ren also had a temper, and slapped the corner of the table with a slap, only to hear the shopkeeper screaming in distress outside.

"Miss just has no father, but her mother, Princess Baozhen, is still there, and the marriage contract promised by Mrs. Ruan is not counted."

Mrs. Xu said: "It's written in black and white, why don't you count, and the Xu family will take advantage of it when you go to the court." ”

The question behind the curtain shook the corner of Ruan Miaoling's clothes, and shouted Miss silently, she was so anxious that she was dying, but she didn't expect Mrs. Ruan to keep her hand, but what should I do.

Ruan Miaoling seemed to have found the right answer, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

It turned out that no matter how she resisted, even to the court, it didn't help, it was because of a piece of paper.

The Ruan family's statement to the outside world that "the one who wins the champion marries Miss Ruan San" is a trick, no matter which son of the Xu family wins, she can only marry Xu Yuan, and she has been arranged clearly from beginning to end.

Gu Ren also realized that the real difficulty was here, "I added another 10,000 taels to buy that piece of paper, as far as I know, Ling Gongzi doesn't seem to be very happy about this marriage." ”

Mrs. Xu said: "That's because he has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade, the general can rest assured, no matter what method I use, I will definitely let the prodigal son turn back." "No mention of gold.

Mrs. Xu is selfish.

Xu Yuan has been timid since he was a child, and he was disliked by the bold Xu's father, so his heart was all tied to his eldest son Xu Heng, hoping that the eldest son could inherit the mantle of Xu Men. The neglected Xu Yuan is naturally crooked, and when he sees the tiger-faced Xu's father, he turns around and runs away, and he seems to be afraid of his eldest brother in recent years.

In the past, Xu's father valued his eldest son Xu Heng, and Mrs. Xu was devoted to raising Xu Heng, so she lacked the care for Xu Yuan.

When Xu Yuan grew up, some rumors about "wretched waste" came into his ears, but it was too late to regret it if he wanted to make up for it.

Xu Yuan's reputation is not good, it is even more difficult to marry a wife, and she will not let go of such a good opportunity.

In order for Yuan'er to live a good life, the wicked are the wicked, the third lady is currently wronged, but as long as she marries into the Xu family, she will be frugal and will never treat this daughter-in-law badly.

Gu Renmu sent Mrs. Xu out of the restaurant, and when she turned around, Ruan Miaoling had already sat down in Mrs. Xu's place, and he apologized: "The last general failed to complete the task, please punish the young lady." ”

"Uncle Ren, sit down."

Ruan Miaoling beckoned outside, the shopkeeper had weak legs and couldn't walk so he had to climb in, Ruan Miaoling took out a gold bar from the box and handed it over: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

The shopkeeper wiped his eyes dreamily, and said happily with gold bars in both hands: "It should be, it should be." ”

"You can run again and transport the boxes downstairs."

Ask the second shopkeeper who picked up the stunned shopkeeper and walked downstairs with a smile, how can the pie in the sky be so easy to encounter, and how much effort will be rewarded.

Gu Ren sighed: "I'm busy today. ”

"It's not in vain." Ruan Miaoling comforted Gu Ren in turn: "You also said that marriage is a big matter, which can be easily solved." ”

There are two watches today.
