[Chapter 2138 Tie Kui Fanwai (62)]
When Ning Zhan got the news, he immediately asked the people around him to inquire about Gu Pengyu’s news.
The information sent to inquire was the same as what Xiao said, Gu Pengyu is not only good-looking, but also very talented. At the age of sixteen, he was already a Juren, and he was the ninth place in that session. This result is quite good.
“And what else? For example, is there a maid in the room or is there a good friend?” Ning Zhan felt that family background and talent were second, and character was the most important.
The person who sent it shook his head and said, “Sir, the rules of the Gu family are very strict, and the servants dare not speak at will. We have not found out for the time being.”
It’s a good thing to have strict family rules, but that doesn’t mean that Gu Pengyu is really good.
After thinking about it, Ning Zhan still looked for Brother You and asked him to help him find out the details of this Gu Pengyu.
Brother You said with a smile: “You are a brother, you really care about being a father.”
Having said that, he still agreed to help Ning Zhan check this Gu Pengyu. After all, this is about Ning Ruhui’s lifelong happiness. Ning Zhan will regret it for the rest of his life if he goes out of business.
At noon that day, Brother You said to Ning Zhan: “Gu Pengyu has neither a good friend nor a girl he likes. There is a maid next to him who has taken over the house, but the Gu family has this rule, and when the marriage is settled, the maid will be sent to the room. send away.”
The young master of a big family will let the maid teach personnel before getting married. Oak-hee didn’t like it, but he didn’t interfere with other people’s rules.
Although Ning Zhan felt uncomfortable, he also knew that Gu Pengyu could not be blamed for this: “His Royal Highness means that the marriage of the Gu family can be promised.”
Qiyou shook his head and said, “Gu Pengyu is one of the most famous talents in the capital, and his character is also very good. But if you want your sister to live comfortably in the rest of her life, don’t agree to this marriage.”
“Why?”
Qiyou said: “Gu Pengyu is not only good at studying, but also proficient in rhythm, even chess skills and painting skills are also involved. What about your second sister? Which one is she proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, poetry, and poetry?”
Ning Zhan paused and said, “What do the couple do to live a life and be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?”
Qiyou chuckled: “Gu Pengyu’s personal maid can write and paint well, especially the one who took over the house, who is good at painting. It can be seen that he likes versatile girls. Your sister can’t do anything, after getting married What are the husband and wife talking about together? Do you want to talk to him about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea?” Like his parents, they usually sit together to discuss important military and political affairs, or their brothers. His father was very impatient to listen to trivial matters at home, and her mother rarely said anything.
After thinking about it for a while, Qiyou changed his mind and said, “Put yourself in the shoes and think about it. If you were to marry a girl who didn’t know one big character. You married because of your parents’ orders, but would you like her?” Certainly not.
Ning Zhan immediately retorted: “My sister has been literate since she was five years old, and her handwriting is very good.” However, Ruhui was not interested in such things as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Qiyou smiled and said: “To the talented Gu Pengyu, your second sister is no different from an illiterate country girl. Besides, Gu Pengyu’s maids are all beautiful, and they are all gentle and considerate. The beauty of yours. Your second sister is only average in appearance, and has a pungent temperament. Do you think he will like your second sister?” In fact, most of the girls in Xungui’s family are average-looking. No way, genes are like that. Ning Ruhui’s appearance is actually considered good among the noble ladies.
Ning Zhan grasped the point this time and asked, “The maids around Gu Pengyu are all beautiful?”
“It’s only worse than the maids next to my eldest brother.” The maids next to their brothers are all good looking. And the most beautiful ones are the eight beside Qihao.
Ning Zhan was stunned. His second sister and the maids next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked a little bit different.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhan said angrily, “What does the Gu family mean by putting such a beautiful maid next to Gu Pengyu?”
Qiyou said: “I want to know, this must be what Gu Pengyu asked for.”
Ning Zhan’s face turned dark in an instant: “Grandma Gu must know Gu Pengyu’s preferences. She knew that her son liked beautiful women and even came to propose marriage, but she didn’t know what An’s thoughts were.” For a lifetime.
“Gu Pengyu regards money as dung, but he is the youngest son and can’t share much of the family property. And Uncle Anyang is notoriously rich, your second sister will definitely have a generous dowry in the future. Besides, your second sister is so powerful and young. You can easily open a shop and make money. If Gu Pengyu marry your second sister, Gu Pengyu will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life.” This was actually Qiyou’s guess. However, he didn’t check his guesses. Grandma Gu came up with this idea.
“Hey, they are taking care of my family and marrying my second sister, not to marry a daughter-in-law, but to marry a housekeeper who can make money?” If so, it would be too shameless.
Qiyou chuckled and said, “I can’t say that. After all, Gu Pengyu’s conditions are so good, and there are countless girls who want to marry him. Maybe, Gu Pengyu still feels wronged!”
Ning Zhan snorted coldly: “Whoever loves to marry will marry, my second sister won’t marry anyway.”
After the two of them talked, Ning Zhan went home. I didn’t go to see Xiao, but went directly to the backyard to find Ruhui.
Hearing Ning Zhan say that Gu Pengyu can’t marry, a thought popped into Ruhui’s mind: “Does he have a sweetheart?”
Ning Zhan shook his head and said, “No. But this guy likes beautiful, multi-talented little birds, so the maids around him are not only beautiful, but also know how to draw and calligraphy. In addition, this guy spends money like flowing water, and often buys some at high prices. Ordinary calligraphy and painting, inkstone and other things.”
Ruhui didn’t understand and asked, “What does it mean to spend a high price on ordinary calligraphy and painting and inkstone?”
“It was the calligraphy and paintings that he liked. They were only worth three or five taels, but he bought them for one hundred and eighty taels. Outsiders complimented him on his discernment and knowledge, but I thought he was a fool with a lot of money.” , but it is true. But Ning Zhan also exaggerated, Gu Pengyu has only done this kind of thing twice.
Ruhui also felt that Gu Pengyu was mentally ill, so she couldn’t help but ask, “Is the money in his family brought by the wind?”
Ning Zhan sneered and said, “Who said it wasn’t! Second sister, with the speed of spending money, he won’t be defeated by gold and silver. Besides, the Gu family is a scholarly family, but not a rich and powerful family. He is just a The eldest son, the youngest son, will definitely not be able to share much of the property in the future. If you marry him, the burden of supporting the family will fall on you in the future.”
Ruhui was still a little reluctant, so he hesitated and said, “He is now a juren, and he will definitely be admitted to the jinshi in the future. When he becomes an official, he will also make money.”
“Second sister, your time as a housekeeper is not too short. Do you think that if the family only relies on father’s salary, we can live a life of fine clothes and food?” Ning Hai’s salary adds up to a few thousand taels a year. The money was only enough for the two sisters to buy a few sets of jewelry. Thinking of silk, silk, silk and jade food, it is a dream.
Ruhui was silent.
Ning Zhan said, “Second sister, you can’t compare to the maid next to Gu Pengyu. Besides, you are so inexperienced in chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry. Do you think Gu Pengyu will look down on you? Not only does he look down on you, but also Will it be nice to you?”
Ruhui remembered the scene where the two met at Lingshan Temple, and Gu Pengyu was very polite to him. If you just meet a girl from an acquaintance, this attitude is fine. But if it is a blind date, this attitude seems very cold.
“Second sister, what you said just now was a little unpleasant. But it’s about your happiness in your life, you must think twice before doing it.” Ruyi’s wedding date has been set, in February next year. Peng Kangshun was very interested in this marriage, and ran to Ning’s house whenever he was free. As far as Peng Kangshun’s attitude is concerned, his life will definitely not be bad after Ruyi’s marriage.
Ruhui asked, “Why do you look at me if you don’t look down on me?” She also fell in love with Gu Pengyu, otherwise she wouldn’t ask such a stupid question.
Uncle Anyang is indeed rich, even if most of the property is handed over, the money that can be saved before will not be returned to the public. Of course, Ning Hai took the initiative to hand it in, but Yuxi confiscated it.
Ning Zhan said: “Everyone knows that we are a rich family, and your parents will love you and the eldest sister so much. They will definitely buy you a generous dowry. In addition, the second sister can earn hundreds of taels a year by opening a teahouse. Gu Pengyu’s marriage With you, there will be no need to worry about money in the future.”
The teahouse was opened by Ruhui with the money from her private house. First, it was fun and secondly, she wanted to earn two pocket money. Unexpectedly, the teahouse also has seven or eight hundred taels of income a year. To the Ning family, this amount of money was nothing, but the average official family spent so much in a year.
Ruhui’s face suddenly sank: “Emotionally, their family uses me as a tool to make money?”
“Second sister, why get angry, we just don’t agree to this marriage.” Everyone is selfish, and the eldest grandma of the Gu family must want to make her son live well.
Ning Zhan felt uncomfortable seeing Ruhui, and whispered, “Second sister, I’ll tell my mother about this.”
Although Ruhui liked Gu Pengyu, the other party didn’t like him. It’s not that she can’t get married, so why rush.
After calming down, Ruhui said, “No, I will tell my mother about this myself.” What kind of vision does her mother have! If it wasn’t for Ning Zhan being careful, she would have been tricked.
Ruhui went to Xiao Shi and said that she did not agree with the marriage. It didn’t say that the Gu family’s purpose was impure, but that Gu Pengyu would definitely attract bees and butterflies when he grew up too well. And she didn’t want to deal with the women who came to her door all day after she got married.
Xiao Shi was so angry that his heart ached: “She is like this, how can I reply to the Gu family?” He said that Gu Pengyu was too good, so he didn’t want to. If you spread it out, you should not be laughed at to death.
Even if she likes this marriage in her heart, but Ruhui has an opinion since she was a child and Ning Hai has said that the marriage must be approved by Ruhui, the Xiao family can only politely refuse the Gu family.
Grandma Gu was a little surprised when she heard that Ru Hui did not like Gu Pengyu. Seeing the appearance of the second girl of the Ning family that day, I thought this marriage was a sure thing. Unexpectedly, the Ning family refused to marry.
Gu Pengyu was secretly relieved when he knew that the Ning family refused to marry, the second girl of the Ning family had to have no looks, and she was fierce and did not look like a girl’s family. After seeing him that day, he was full of reluctance. It’s just that Grandma Gu said that this is a good family, and it’s useless for him to object.
Looking at Grandma Gu’s appearance, Gu Pengyu said, “Mother, don’t worry, I will definitely be able to marry someone better than the second girl of the Ning family in the future.” Many girls, when they saw them, were heartbroken. Therefore, Gu Pengyu is very confident in himself.
Knowing the child Mo Ruomu, Grandma Gu still knows Gu Pengyu’s thoughts. It’s just that the Ning family refuses to be relatives, and it is useless to talk more.
