Chapter seven hundred and sixty seventh my marriage is set
Gu Chengyu touched his nose and smiled bitterly. He didn't know that his mother had found out all the housing prices in the capital within a few days of arriving in the capital.
Gu Wanfang was shocked when she heard this. This was five hundred taels of silver!
"I can't have this. I'd better take it back, uncle. It's too expensive."
Gu Chengyu waved his hand, "Don't say polite words to me. We are of the same race, and we are uncle and nephew. When you enter the officialdom in the future, those people will naturally regard us as one, and you will understand in the future.
Well. Besides, when you get married, you don’t even have a house to live in, and you lose my face. There’s no need to argue about this matter. It’s getting late, so you should go back first! I’ll come back tomorrow to test your homework.”
This is the bad thing about ancient times. Whether Gu Wanqian is living well or not, he can really be related to Gu Chengyu.
Outsiders will definitely say that my nephew doesn’t even have a house outside. Your uncle lives in such a big mansion, why don’t you let your nephew live in it?
After all, it was like this for people of the same clan in ancient times. They traveled thousands of miles to come to a strange state. If there were clansmen around, they usually lived in their clan's mansion.
Therefore, poor clansmen from those aristocratic families often come to visit Qiufeng. Seeing that they are from the same clan, they will never let them go home empty-handed.
Those in the clan who make progress in their studies will be sent to live in the house, so that they can help each other in the future.
Gu Chengyu didn't want to say more. He had something to talk to his parents today. It was getting late and he didn't want to delay.
Alas! Anyway, it’s a knife to extend your head, and it’s a knife to shrink your head.
"This?" Gu Wanfang was a little embarrassed. If he said he wasn't moved, it would be a lie. But is it really okay to just hold it like this?
Mrs. Lu felt so distressed that her face turned ugly. Seeing this, Father Gu had no choice but to say: "Brother Fang, please go back first! You can take this yard. Since it is your brother-in-law's gift for your marriage, it is also his wish. You can also
Don't refuse."
Father Gu places great emphasis on the words "congratulatory gifts for marriage". Don't expect Xiaobao to send congratulatory gifts when you get married.
"Thank you uncle, thank you uncle and great-uncle." Gu Wanfang was extremely grateful and thanked her quickly.
"Brother Fang! Your brother-in-law is so kind to you! When you become a Jinshi and become an official in the future, you must not forget your brother-in-law's kindness!"
Although Ms. Lu was dissatisfied, her son had already become a good person, and it would be ugly if she tried to stop him again.
However, she was very dissatisfied with her son's behavior of lying about the money just now. This stupid son actually went so far as to give away money for free and not be remembered!
Gu Chengyu knew Lu's purpose, it was just to make Gu Wanfang feel grateful to him! So he didn't stop Lu from saying this. He was not a bad person, and since he had given something, he always wanted to get something in return.
Gu Wanfang nodded quickly in response, "My grandnephew and grandnephew all know the kindness they have shown me, and they have always been impressed by it. Because of Xiao Yao's incident, my father committed an unforgivable crime. Even though
Later I regretted it, but the wrong thing had been done, and it’s a blessing that you didn’t argue with us. Now my brother-in-law doesn’t care about the past grudges, and treats me very well, and I still feel bad about it.”
When Gu Wanfang said this, he looked a little sad and a little ashamed.
"Don't think too much, we are still relatives after all, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are connected!" Father Gu was a little pleased when he saw this, he is a grateful person.
After another half an hour, he finally sent Gu Wanfang away, who had expressed his gratitude so much, and agreed to find a bride for Gu Wanfang tomorrow.
After Gu Wanfang left, Gu Chengyu did not move. Instead, he poured another bowl of tea and drank by himself.
She knows her son better than her mother. As soon as Mrs. Lu saw her little treasure like this, she knew she had something to say.
"It's already dark today. If nothing happens, you should rest early. You have to get up early tomorrow to go to the palace as an errand!"
Lu saw that Gu Chengyu still didn't speak. Although she was confused, she still said tentatively.
It seemed that it was difficult to speak. This was the first time I saw Xiaobao like this.
"Father, mother" Gu Chengyu didn't know what to say at all, ugh! This fucking ancient life.
"What's going on?" Father Gu couldn't help but feel worried when he saw his youngest son looking like this.
"My marriage has been decided." Gu Chengyu took a deep breath and finally spoke.
Then, there was silence in the room. Both Father Gu and Mrs. Lu opened their mouths and looked at Gu Chengyu blankly.
Even the mute grandma looked shocked, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
"What are you talking about? What marriage? Whose marriage?" Lu's mind was in a state of confusion, and she couldn't help but ask three questions in a row.
"Didn't you say before that it's too early to get married and you have to slow down? How did you decide it? You haven't even asked your parents about this, so why did you decide it yourself?"
Dad Gu finally realized, this is wrong!
Xiaobao had been telling them to marry him later, but now he said that his marriage was settled, which was too strange.
"You couldn't have imitated those people who don't know the rules and etiquette, and decided to have a lifelong private life with their girl? This can't be done, you are an official, and doing this will definitely harm your reputation."
Mrs. Lu quickly looked at Gu Chengyu nervously, saying that it was settled silently. If she hadn't said goodbye before, could it be that she had already settled with her by then?
Why don't you come back and talk to them so that they can propose marriage? Could it be that the girl is a little unsure?
Since I can make a lifelong commitment to Xiaobao, what kind of good girl can I be?
Mrs. Lu looked eager. After all, Xiaobao was still too young and could easily be fooled in this matter.
In just such a moment, Mrs. Lu had already figured out a lot of plots in her mind, and at the same time, the look in her eyes when she looked at Xiaobao became extremely unkind.
"Mother, where did you go? How could your son be such a person? It is absolutely impossible to have a private life." Gu Chengyu replied helplessly.
"Is it possible that someone has been a matchmaker for you? But shouldn't you ask me and your father before you talk about matchmaking? Why did you talk to you first?"
Ms. Lu was confused, and suddenly she thought of a possibility.
"Did your teacher tell you to kiss me?"
"Didn't he say last time that his teacher wouldn't let us get married now? How could he be the matchmaker for his teacher?" Dad Gu immediately retorted.
Gu Chengyu stroked his forehead, are these the important points? Why don't you care who the person you are proposing to is?
"Which family does that girl belong to? She can't be a city girl from a small family, right? Who acted as the matchmaker?"
At this moment, Lu finally remembered the most critical issue that they had ignored just now.
"She is the teacher's granddaughter, Miss Yao, the daughter-in-law of the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace. Teacher Qian'er mentioned it to me, and I agreed."
Gu Chengyu smiled and filled both Mrs. Lu and Father Gu with tea.
"What? Is that Miss Yao?" Mrs. Lu had never met Yao Mengxian, but she had heard Gu Chengyu mention it before.
However, Xiaobao did not go into details at that time. She only said that her family belonged to the Duke of Zhenguo and that she was the legitimate daughter of a top family. At that time, she thought she was an irrelevant person, so she did not ask further questions.
