Chapter 699 Marrying the Wrong Man or the Right One? (20)

Thinking of the power of the Wen family, the man felt that this was nothing. He smiled and said, "Of course, how about four taels of silver?"

Gu Yuxi shook his head and refused: "Uncle, you are confused. In Menghua City, the starting price is at least ten taels of silver. Don't you think highly of Mr. Wen as your prospective son-in-law? You can buy off his marriage with four taels of silver. I think the love lock you lost is worth more than four taels, right?"

The man took a deep breath and thought that his niece was indeed sharp-tongued and mercenary. He would definitely lose money today.

Gu Zhicheng reminded: "Father, don't lose the big picture for the small, or you will ruin your sister's marriage and Xiaoxi's marriage."

The man who was reminded gritted his teeth and responded generously: "Uncle naturally knows that he has his share of foolishness. Forty taels! Set things right for the marriage between you two sisters, so that one of you won't resent your father if he doesn't live well in the future."

After saying this, the man took out the forty taels of silver that he had just placed in his arms, which was not yet warm, and was very reluctant to part with it.

"Uncle is really generous and sensible." Gu Yuxi snatched the silver and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, my aunt and my mother don't know about this. It would be bad if we don't tell them, right?"

Thinking of Yang's unreasonable face, Gu Fenghuan was afraid that the night would be long and she said, "Sister, men are the head of the family. Women don't understand the truth. If I tell them, I'm afraid it will make a fool of myself."

"That's true." Gu Yuxi muttered.

"Sister Xiaoxi, Master Wen is still waiting for the result. Didn't you just say that the Ruyi and other things are with you?"

"Yes, as the saying goes, it is better to destroy ten temples than to ruin a marriage. If the birth dates are incompatible, then the marriage will not be possible."

"Don't worry. Your uncle asked a master to look at the horoscope. It fits you very well. Your father also asked me to look at your marriage plan. Don't worry."

"Since you say so, uncle, I feel relieved. I will go get the token."

Seeing Gu Yuxi go to get the token, the group felt relieved. Wen Pinyan thought: "This woman is not that vulgar."

"Nephew, please wait a moment. I will be back soon. It won't take long."

But when these words reached Gu Fenghuan's ears, they changed their meaning. She felt mixed emotions and thought to herself, "Gu Yuxi, you can only be like an ant and let me step on you for the rest of your life."

However, she knew that Gu Erfang was not an easy person to deal with. He had been clearing out the Yang family's assets over the years and was not as honest as he appeared to be.

But what does this have to do with her? She just likes to see Gu Yuxi's busy appearance. She has to make a living by collecting herbs. It seems that this dyeing factory will soon become the property of their eldest wife.

The crisis in her grandfather's family has been resolved for now. When she marries into the Wen family, she will get rid of the trouble of the Wen family being exiled for meddling in other people's affairs. In the future, when her husband passes the imperial examination and has a successful career, her good days are still ahead.

Gu Yuxi found the jade ruyi from a cabinet in her boudoir. She thought it was of good quality and thought that after the Wen family was ransacked, it might have a chance to return to her hands.

"Uncle, please take a look at this. The birth date and other things are also here. Is it my cousin's?"

The man took the item without blinking an eye.

The woman just smiled slightly, and Wen Pinyan seemed a little dazed. He seemed to hesitate for a moment about his act of marriage fraud.

This woman is good-looking, but her manners are a bit vulgar and she likes to take advantage of others. However, this kind of woman is easy to talk to and deceive.

"Cough cough!" The dry cough brought Wen Pinyan back to reality. He said, "Thank you."

"Mr. Wen, there is no need to be so polite. I may call you my brother-in-law soon. My sister has a kind character and is a good wife. Please do not neglect her in the future."

"Of course, I hope you can find a good husband, Miss Gu."

"Each each other."

Gu Fenghuan didn't want Wen Pinyan and Gu Yuxi to have too much contact, so she quickly interrupted Wen Pinyan's unspoken words: "Master Wen, since you have made your choice, then just follow your heart and don't disturb Sister Xiaoxi."

Wen Pinyan clasped his hands together, bowed, and said, "Miss Gu, please explain today's matter to me for your future conversation. Goodbye."

"My humble abode is simple and will not accommodate guests. My father and I will not accommodate you. I will see you off."

"Don't follow me, we are disturbing you."

Gu Yuxi was just pretending and watched Gu Erfang follow the group of people out. After the courtyard gate was closed, she weighed the extra twenty taels of silver, which was the price of a marriage transaction.

"When you have no money, you can do anything. It's really cheap."

When Wen Pinyan arrived at the eldest house, he began to change his words: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, elder brother, Feng Huan and I love each other. Now I have reached the age of 15 and Feng Huan has already reached the age of 15. I would like to trouble you to be a witness for me and Feng Huan."

"Hahaha, my son-in-law, there is no need to say more. We will be a family in the future. It's just that Huan'er is of low status, and I'm afraid I'm not worthy of you..."

"Father-in-law, you are worrying too much. We have already been engaged, so there is no need to worry about the family lintel."

"Since you said so, kid, we have nothing to hide. We will still meet in half a month."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

The few of them were talking and laughing, and Wen Pinyan felt relieved. He became more convinced that the woman next to him was courageous and decisive.

When Gu Yang, who had just returned from her father's farm, heard that Gu Yuxi had replaced the jade ruyi and other items, she was so angry that she was out of breath.

"My son is confused. Although the Wen family is an official of some importance in the capital, they are still officials after all. Why do you want to give such a good marriage to the first wife?"

"mother."

"Don't call me." The woman pulled her daughter's hand away from her arm, and after doing it several times, she stopped caring and turned her head to the side.

"mother."

"Tell me what's the benefit of this. You are my daughter, don't fool me."

After being called by her daughter for a long time, the woman felt better. When she saw her daughter put twenty taels of silver in front of her, she said, "This is the money for marriage, what are you giving it to me?"

"Mother, this is the money that man got after discussing with the first wife. Now he will definitely tell everyone about the first wife's marriage. Don't you want this money?"

The woman suddenly burst into tears and was very angry: "When will this day end? You and Ci Xin should take the things back quickly. I'm afraid you will suffer a loss."

"Are you willing to divorce that man?"

"If I divorce him, the people of Menghua City will only scold us. After all, he has built up a good reputation over the years."

"We know this, but now is not a good time."

"When will that be?"

"Give me two years. After two years, I will definitely give you an explanation."

"really?"

"It's natural."

Seeing Gu Yuxi so serious, the woman felt reassured and went back to the accountant to check the account book.

The moon is bright and the stars are dim, the wind is as cold as a knife, Gu Yuxi is afraid that the next few days will be very busy...
