Chapter 145 Prepare a set of bedding for Ji Nanzheng to sleep on the floor for a long time
Ji Nanzheng hurried back. This time, he stood outside the door and knocked.
He thought that the first thing he would do when he saw Wan Zhou was to hug her in his arms and thank her for giving him the chance.
Even though he was 27 years old, and many people already had grown up children, this was his first time falling in love. Although he managed to hold himself together on the outside, inside he was no different from a teenager who was just beginning to fall in love.
Joy, excitement, and some indescribable emotions fill my heart.
My whole heart is full.
"General, the lady has gone to bed." Bai Lu came out and replied.
Ji Nanzheng looked at the sky and saw that it was just past dinner time, so he took a break and immediately asked, "Is she feeling unwell?"
Otherwise I wouldn't have gone to bed so early.
"No, Miss is just a little tired."
In this way, Ji Nanzheng knew that Wan Zhou didn't want to see him.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of loss.
"Then I'll come see her tomorrow." Although he was disappointed, he didn't intend to force it.
"The young lady said that since she has agreed to the marriage, we will meet again after the wedding." Bai Lu said.
She also didn't know why her young lady didn't want to see the general even though she had clearly agreed to the marriage.
But after all, she was a servant, so she passed on the message word for word.
Ji Nanzheng: "..."
His hands unconsciously clenched into empty fists and his brows furrowed deeply.
I don’t understand what Wan Zhou means?
If she doesn't want to, why should she agree?
If you don't want to, why refuse to see it?
Suddenly, doubts and loss intertwined, but in the end, he convinced himself to walk back next door.
At least Wan Zhou has agreed to come in and become his wife, Ji Nanzheng. As time goes by, there will always be a time when the clouds will clear and the laughter will be revealed.
In the room, Wan Zhou was reading a book.
After Bai Lu replied and Ji Nanzheng left, she continued to focus on the book.
She didn't meet Ji Nanzheng just to calm him down and let him know that the reason she agreed to the marriage was not because of him, at least not just because of him.
Ji Nanzheng's sincerity may be precious, but no matter what, she will not repeat the same mistake and put her fate on a man.
Being a mistress, creating a good environment for her son to grow up in, and using this identity to make the academy more influential will be her main career in the future.
As for Ji Nanzheng? Who said she had to fall in love with him as soon as she got married? In her dowry, she would first prepare a set of bedding suitable for sleeping on the floor for a long time.
Didn't he say that he respected her and waited for her to slowly like him? Then he would just wait on the ground.
After all, she is also a human being with emotions and desires. Occasionally, she has some needs. With Ji Nanzheng's hardware, she can still accommodate him by sleeping with him.
Wan Zhou couldn't help but smile. After going around in circles, things seemed to have returned to the starting point, but the difference was that her life would move towards a completely different stage.
Such a big thing happened, Wan Zhou sent messages to his father and Huayang early the next morning.
Huayang arrived early in the morning and, for the first time ever, was willing to come in and wait in the hall.
When Wan Zhou came, he hurriedly stood up and the first thing he said was: "Miss, how much dowry do you prepare this time?"
Wan Zhou raised his eyes and looked at Hua Yang. The two looked at each other for a moment and smiled at the same time.
Huayang smiled reservedly.
Wan Zhou smiled brightly.
"Brother Huayang, you are teasing me." Wan Zhou said coquettishly, unconvinced.
Huayang didn't know what he was thinking of, but he smiled again, with a hint of affection hidden in his eyes. After a moment, he said seriously, "I am happy."
"I have been studying with Madam since I was 6 years old. Miss is actually very similar to Madam. She may seem indifferent, but in fact, she never admits defeat at all."
"The three names Gu Wanzhou are already very famous now. Miss, you made this choice. I know that Gu Wanzhou will become even more famous in the future, and will be talked about in the way you like."
Wan Zhou: “…”
Brother Huayang understands her well.
Yes, we are all famous, so why not become more famous in the way you like?
Huayang was not an outsider, so Wanzhou told him everything about taking the housekeeper's power and the betrothal gift.
After hearing this, Huayang smiled and shook his head, seeming happy but also helpless.
"Brother Huayang, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I just want to laugh." Huayang put away his smile and said seriously: "Then the young lady will need some useful people. Don't worry about this, leave it to me. The Dingguo Mansion only has a few acres of land and a few hundred people. It won't be a problem for the young lady."
"Brother Huayang, this is not the way to brag." Wan Zhou felt that Huayang's tone was a bit too much.
There are a few acres of land and hundreds of people involved, and there is no telling how many troubles there are.
"If that doesn't work, I'll be your housekeeper myself." Hua Yang joked, "I can manage thousands of businesses, so I shouldn't be unable to manage a Duke's Mansion."
"Then thank you very much, Butler Hua." Wan Zhou also joked.
"No, no, no, you should rely on yourself. I still have to make money for my little nephews."
Little nephew?
"Brother Huayang?" Wan Zhou looked at Huayang with some surprise.
Huayang frowned for a moment, then looked up at Wanzhou with a smile in his eyes: "Didn't you tell me not to call you Miss before? From now on, I won't call you that. I am just a brother, the uncle of the children."
After saying that, he joked, "Why do I feel like you're trying to get close to the general's wife?"
"I'll let you climb up. I don't mind." Wan Zhou also joked.
She is really happy.
Although in her heart, Huayang had long been like a brother and the person she trusted the most, he kept calling her "Miss" with a humble and respectful attitude, always maintaining an unequal position with her. She didn't like that feeling.
They are equal.
How nice it is like this now. It was the first time she saw Huayang joking with her so easily.
"As for the dowry, should I, as the elder brother, take care of it?" Huayang got back to the business.
Wan Zhou nodded, "Don't be so exaggerated."
Through the academy, Wan Zhou also got a rough idea of Huayang's family background, which was more than she imagined.
As for her own, Huayang said that he had not separated it at all. Anyway, all his property and shareholders were Huayang and Gu Wanzhou.
It's like half and half.
"It can't be less than the 300,000 yuan betrothal gift." Hua Yang said, "You were the mistress in the past, so you have to keep the place under control."
……
While Wanzhou and Huayang were discussing the dowry, Lady Wang and the Duke went to Gu's house.
Propose marriage.
Already sent the post in advance.
The wife of the Marquis of Changning also went with them. Mrs. Wang did not have much contact with the wife of the Marquis of Changning, and she invited her to be a matchmaker only because among the respectable ladies she liked, the wife of the Marquis of Changning had a relationship with Jiang.
Mrs. Wang came in person, and how could Mrs. Changning Marquis refuse? She immediately replied that she was willing to go with them.
Gu Lian and Jiang solemnly received the distinguished guests.
Jiang still hasn't gotten back her housekeeper rights, but she's been very happy these days because Jiang did well in the exam and will definitely get a government position after the palace examination.
Mrs. Wang was used to socializing and valued reputation, so when she arrived at Gu's house, she prepared generous gifts and spoke very politely. She had done her homework beforehand, and as soon as she entered the house, she started to receive compliments.
"I heard that your son-in-law did very well in the imperial examination. Congratulations. He is really young and promising. He will surely have a bright future."
"This child is really capable." Jiang was so happy that she couldn't suppress the smile.
The Duke's wife still had a smile on her face, but she kept shaking her head in her heart. She didn't even know how to say a polite word when others complimented her.
The Duke also exchanged a few polite words with Gu Lian, and then began to talk about business.
Of course, the wife of Marquis Changning would do this job. She cleared her throat and said, "So, it can be said that it is a double blessing..."
The wife of Marquis Changning joyfully recounted the matter of the Duke's Mansion's engagement to Wan Zhou, as if it were her own family's happy event.
"Ah, what?" Jiang's mouth, which she could not suppress, opened in surprise when she heard that the Duke's Mansion wanted to pay a betrothal gift of 300,000 to remarry Wan Zhou.
