Chapter 131: Xiao Jiu's marriage

"Sit down for me."
Gu Jiu sternly scolded Gu Yue.
"Third sister, don't look at what this place is. This is the Chamber of Commerce, not a place to spoil you. You dare to use an abacus to hit people, you are presumptuous!"
"Why are you scolding me? Big sister scolded me, why don't you care? If I want to kill someone, you will interfere with me?"
Gu Yue exhaled.
Gu Jiu's eyes were sharp, and she looked at Gu Zhen who was laughing.
Gu Zhen met Gu Jiu's gaze, her smile froze on her face, and she slowly lowered her head, not daring to smile blatantly.
Gu Jiu said with a serious face: "Don't worry about the reason, you just can't hit people. Qingmei, take off the abacus in the hands of the third girl."
Qingmei obeyed her orders, stepped forward and said, "Three girls, you are offended."
Then Qingmei abruptly broke off Gu Yue's fingers and took the abacus from her hand.
Gu Yue sat down dejectedly, very upset, and said aggrieved: "Second sister, are you satisfied now."
Gu Jiu was too lazy to pay attention to Gu Yue.
She was also wronged, and she really didn't know where she had such a big face.
She looked at the eldest wife Zhang, bowed slightly, "Let the elder mother laugh."
The eldest wife Zhang was a little guilty, "I was negligent, so I shouldn't mention it."
Immediately afterwards, Zhang's face was stern, and he said solemnly: "Girl Zhen, Girl Yue, you two are sisters. You scolded and beaten in front of everyone, and you two didn't even look at my big aunt. . Xiao Jiu scolded you for not being wrong, you are presumptuous."
Gu Zhen and Gu Yue lowered their heads together, making an appearance of admitting their mistakes.
The eldest wife Zhang snorted, "I don't know how the second younger siblings discipline you. But under my nose, you can't tolerate your presumption. If you dare to do this again next time, then you should not come to the Council to participate in the stewardship. The meeting hall is small, and it can accommodate you two."
"Auntie, I knew it was wrong. Please give us another chance." Gu Zhen looked with a low eyebrow.
"Auntie, I won't dare anymore." Gu Yue looked aggrieved and wanted to cry.
Zhang's face was cold, "Okay, okay, and I'm still wronged. This is the end of this matter, and it is not allowed to mention it in the future."
"Yes!"
As the Spring Festival approaches, there are many things in Fuzhong.
Gu Jiu and his sisters are very busy with his wife Zhang every day.
On Xie's side, the spirit has not been very good, the whole person is sick and can't lift the spirit.
The doctor checked several times and said that she was so depressed because of her depression. Advise her to look away.
Xie nodded, seemingly listening to the doctor's words.
But as soon as the doctor left, Xie said, "Look a little bit, it's easier said than done. Knowing easy things is hard, this lady can't look away."
Chunhe persuaded: "Madam, the marriage of the three girls has been settled, so don't worry about it."
Xie laughed at himself, "Simply put it. Just Yue'er's dowry will kill me."
Xie's heart is upset.
Gu Yue betrothed to Zhao Erlang, and Xie's heart was suffocating, and he could not vent.
However, she still couldn't show it clearly, and she had to do her best to prepare a dowry for Gu Yue.
As a daughter of a prostitute, Gu Yue married the second son of the Earl’s Mansion, and the dowry must not be less than 20,000 taels.
At least 25 thousand taels and 120 sets of dowry must be prepared.
Xie rubbed his eyebrows.
If this marriage was planned by her, she would be willing to prepare the dowry for Gu Yue.
However, this marriage was planned by Gu Yue by all means, and Xie was somewhat resentful when preparing for the dowry.
There is grievance in the heart, but there is no way to vent.
It's no wonder that Xie can't be refreshed all day, and he doesn't have the mind to discuss the distribution of housekeeping power with his wife Zhang.
Maid Dongmei came in from outside, "Madam, there is a matchmaker here."
Xie stunned for a moment, "What matchmaker? No one in the mansion wants to be a kiss? Is it looking for a big room?"
Dongmei shook her head, "The matchmaker said in person that she should discuss the marriage with his wife."
Xie frowned, "Have you asked the matchmaker, who did she come to propose marriage for? Whose marriage should be discussed?"
"The slave and maid asked, but the matchmaker didn't say it. The matchmaker said he wanted to see his wife."
Xie snorted, "Even matchmakers dare to take Joe these days, who will give them a face."
Chunhe hurriedly persuaded: "My wife should see the matchmaker. The matchmaker's mouth is very broken. If the wife does not see each other, the slave and maid are worried that the matchmaker will arrange some things and destroy the girls' reputation."
After a pause, Chunhe said again: "Madam, the marriage of the four girls has not yet settled."
The implication is that for the sake of Gu Shan, Xie should not offend the matchmaker.
Even if the matchmakers are all inferior, but they walk the streets and alleys, go to every house, and the news is well-informed, and most people can only bow down.
Many of the secret things of the big family are spread by them. Many of the reputation of the girl's family are also corrupted by them.
Treating these matchmakers, staying aloof and rewarding them generously is the best policy.
As long as they use money to plug their mouths, they are also keeping their promises and basically do not talk nonsense outside.
Xie frowned, "Go and invite the matchmaker, and I will reluctantly see it."
"Yes!"
Dongmei went to invite someone, and soon brought in matchmaker Li.
Li Matchmaker has a typical matchmaker's face, and her speech movements are exaggerated.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Hexi."
Xie raised his eyebrows and smiled, "He Xizhi?"
Without waiting for a greeting, Matchmaker Li consciously sat down in a chair, "My wife doesn't know, someone has taken a fancy to your second girl, ask me to be a matchmaker."
"Fancy my second girl?" Xie's surprised.
Gu Jiu's diseased rice seedlings was actually seen by some people, and they asked someone to come to the door to negotiate.
Xie suddenly became interested, "Which one has the fancy of my second girl? Come and listen."
Matchmaker Li laughed, "I don't want to hide from my wife, I am attracted to the second girl in your house, but she is a first-class rich and distinguished person. As they said, she is not picky about anything else, just because she is in love with the second girl in your house."
"Sell less, which one is it?" Xie Shi was impatient.
Matchmaker Li smiled triumphantly, and then said mysteriously: "It was Mrs. Luhou who asked me to come to her door and say that she wanted to marry the second girl from your house for the youngest son of his family.
Ma’am, I’m not talking nonsense, Luhou is a wealthy family in Beijing. Luhou held a heavy soldier in his hand and had a high position. How many people wanted to curry favor with Luhou House.
Now Mrs. Luhou has taken a fancy to the second girl from your house, tusk, the second girl from your house is blessed. Seeing that he is about to marry into Gaomen to enjoy the blessing. "
Xie's eyes widened and couldn't believe it. "You mean Mrs. Luhou asked you to say a kiss?"
"Exactly! Madam, this is a good marriage that you can't find with a lantern. As long as you nod your head, I promise to help you facilitate this marriage."
Matchmaker Li patted her chest, as if everything was under her control.
When Li Matchmaker wanted to come, such a good marriage, as long as Xie's not stupid, he would definitely agree to it.
The two parties can then discuss matters related to their parents.
As long as the marriage is settled, she can get a generous amount of money to thank the matchmaker.
Li Matchmaker thought of Mrs. Luhou's generous actions, and she felt happy in her heart.
Xie's mood is complicated, and Mrs. Luhou actually fell in love with Gu Jiu. It's not a joke, how could it be possible.
Is Mrs. Luhou lame? Why did she look at Gu Jiu.
Chunhe secretly reminded the Xie family, the Xie family recovered, coughed lightly, and asked, "Does Mrs. Luhou have anything else to say?"
Li Matchmaker smiled and said: "Don't worry, my wife, the youngest son of Luhou Mansion, I have seen it with my own eyes. He is a talented person who has studied martial arts since childhood and has already served in the military. It can be described as a young talent. And your second girl, talented and beautiful, is a natural setting. Pair.
By the way, if your wife invites the second girl from your house out, I will also look at each other for the Luhou mansion. "
Xie smiled, "My second girl has been weak since she was a child. If it is cold today, she can't stand the wind, so don't let her come out."
Oh!
Matchmaker Li gave a meaningful cry, and secretly observed Xie's expression, trying to figure out Xie's thoughts.
The situation of Gu's house, Li Matchmaker had already inquired clearly before coming.
Gu Er girl was born with the original partner, and Xie's is the second wife.
I can think of it, how unwelcome the child is to the children left by the original wife.
Xie must be unhappy when she heard that the daughter left behind by the original wife was going to marry to Gaomen.
Matchmaker Li laughed, "The wife is right. The girl is fragile and can't come out to blow the air in such a cold weather. Then, how is the marriage of Luhou Mansion, how is the wife? This is not found even with a lantern. It’s a good relationship, missed this time, next time I won’t have such a good opportunity."
Xie said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will consider this marriage carefully. It's just the marriage of the children, and we still need my master nodded.
Well, you go back first, and in a couple of days I will send someone to invite you to visit the house, and personally tell you what my master thinks. "
Matchmaker Li laughed, "It's still a thoughtful wife. It's about the marriage of the second girl in your house and should be considered carefully. If this is the case, then I will leave first."
"Wait a minute!"
Xie suddenly stopped Li Matchmaker.
Matchmaker Li smiled and asked, "What else does the wife have to order?"
Xie's thought for a while, and asked: "Ms. Luhou really likes my second girl?"
"Naturally it is true." Li Matchmaker said very seriously.
Xie smiled, "So I can rest assured. There are so many girls in the family, except for the three girls, they have not yet been married. As a mother, I am worried that it will be broken. I am afraid that it will delay the children's future."
Matchmaker Li immediately came up and said, "Is my wife going to talk about kissing for the children? Let me take care of it. Whose master is your wife, just tell me, I will run errands for you."
Xie's smiled, "The marriage of a few boys in my family hasn't been seen yet. Especially the third child, the eldest is not young, can you take a look for me?"
"Yes! Whose girl does the wife fall in love with?"
"The girl from Beijing, I'm not too familiar with it. You can introduce it to me first."
The two chatted together.
According to Li Meipo’s family, most of them are people who are in line with Gu's family. Some families are even lower than Gu's family.
For a family higher than Gu's family, Li Matchpo was not introduced.
It is the old rule to marry a daughter high and a daughter low.
When Gu Ling marries a wife, most of them can only marry the right girl, even the lower one. Want to marry a girl with a higher rank than Gu's house unless she is lucky.
Therefore, when Li Matchmaker introduced, she was particularly pragmatic. Directly filtered those top girls,
Xie listened very carefully, and obviously she was really moved to tell Gu Ling about a marriage.
The two chatted for half an hour, and the tea was changed twice.
The Xie family said to Li Matchmaker very affectionately: "Thanks to you, otherwise I will look like a blind man, and I can't figure out who these wealthy people in Beijing are."
Matchmaker Li said with a smile: "There are many wealthy people in the capital, and the relationship is complicated, and relatives are connected to relatives. The wife has just returned to the capital, and it is excusable to not understand these relationships for the time being. The wife is anxious, and you can wait for a long time. Sort out these relationships."
"Hope. Mrs. Luhou gave birth to three sons and one daughter, which is very lucky. Luhou's second son, are you married?"
"I'm talking about dear, the marriage should be settled soon."
Xie screamed, his expression unclear.
As a human spirit, Matchmaker Li naturally understood Xie's thoughts.
However, she would not say anything now.
The person who invited her is Mrs. Luhou, unless Xie can do more, she will run for Xie.
Xie asked again: "The youngest son of Luhou Mansion, isn't he young?"
"After the new year it will be seventeen."
Xie nodded, "A boy who is only seventeen years old is not too old. He is a good match for my second girl in age, but I don't know what his temperament is.
My second girl was frail and sick since she was a child, and her temperament is sensitive. If she meets a careless boy, I am worried that my second girl will be wronged. "
Li Matchmaker flattered, "My wife is really kind. You are extremely worried."
"Married into such a family requires a girl not only to be smart and virtuous, but also to be sensible, courteous, and healthy."
"The wife said so."
Xie smiled and said, "I'm just talking casually. When you meet Mrs. Luhou, please greet her for me."
"Madam, don't worry, your greetings will definitely come."
Matchmaker Li stood up to say goodbye, Xie asked Chunhe to send Matchmaker Li out.
Chunhe sent Li Matchmaker to the gate, and handed a purse, "This is my wife's wish."
Matchmaker Li squeezed the thickness of her purse, and smiled immediately, "Mrs.
Chunhe said: "The four girls in my family are not young anymore, and the marriage has never been eye-catching, and my wife doesn't think about it. If the aunt has a suitable family, don't forget my wife and the four girls."
Matchmaker Li grinned, "Don't worry, Miss Chunhe, I don't forget that no one will forget his wife and the fourth girl. Put a hundred hearts on me, and the fourth girl's marriage is in my heart."
"There is also the marriage of the three young masters." Chunhe reminded.
Li Matchmaker promised, "I know, I know. I will never forget."
For the sake of money, I will never forget it.
Sent away Li Matchmaker, Chunhe returned to Furongyuan.
"Has Li Matchmaker gone?" Xie asked.
Chunhe nodded, "I have sent away Li Matchpo. The slave servant reminded her that she would take the wife's advice to heart."
Xie frowned and looked upset.
"What is the wife worried about?"
Xie was bitter, "When I was in the northwest, I wasted no effort to get married with Luhou Mansion. In the end, not only did the matter fail, but he also lost so much, and even made the master angry. Now, without any effort, Luhou Mansion She actually took the initiative to get married. It's..." She was so angry.
Xie's anger was upset, and his face became ugly.
Chunhe hurriedly persuaded: "After all, the northwest is a bitter cold place, and there are not many choices. Fortunately, now that I return to the capital, the marriage between the girl and the young masters will be resolved one by one. The wife should relax."
Xie gritted his teeth, "Doesn't Mrs. Luhou have eyes? Don't care if you don't like Yue'er. Even Shan'er didn't take a look at Gu Jiu's sick young girl. What kind of vision is this? Where is Gu Jiu's dead girl Well, it is worth dignified that Mrs. Luhou took the initiative to get married."
Chunhe Zhangzhangzui, I want to say that the second girl is pretty good, knows how to settle accounts, knows how to housekeepers, looks good, has a tall stature, and is cured of this disease. Mrs. Luhou doesn't dislike Gu's lowest rank, and it's normal to see the second girl.
Of course, Chunhe only dared to say these words secretly in his heart, and never dared to say them.
Chunhe still knew Xie's thoughts.
Chunhe persuaded: "The four girls are going to be the young masters of the house. There is no need for his wife to stare at the marriage in Luhou Mansion.
Even if the second girl married, she was only one of many young grandmothers. No matter how she has the ability, don't even think about stewardship.
The grandmother of Luhou Mansion is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and her natal brothers are promising. When the second girl married, she would definitely not be able to compete with the grandma of Luhou Mansion. "
Xie's mood was frustrated. She didn't hide it at all. She said directly: "This lady cannot accept Gu Jiu's marriage to Luhou Mansion. Why can she be valued by Madam Luhou and marry better than Yue'er."
Chunhe asked cautiously: "Does the wife want the fourth girl to replace the second girl in the Luhou Mansion, or does he consciously refuse the proposal of the Luhou Mansion?"
Xie frowned, "Let me think about it again."
