Chapter 121 Gu Ping's Marriage
"Dad, I will attend more banquets in the future and look for someone for Ah Ping. This matter still depends on fate. I must find someone who suits Ah Ping's taste. Even if we agree, it won't work. It still depends on her."
Father Gu also knew that Gu Ping was very opinionated, so he said kindly: "You are his father, you can handle it yourself. Also talk to A Yao about this matter. After all, she is the prefect, and she has many officials under her. Our A Ping must also find a young master from an official family to be his doctor."
In Gu's father's mind, Gu Ping would naturally be the head of the Gu family in the future, and she couldn't just find anyone to marry her. If she couldn't find someone good enough, she would be laughed at in the future.
In their generation, the Gu family had already risen, so they absolutely could not marry an illiterate man.
If Gu Yao was not too poor at that time, he would not have looked for the Lin family. It was just that after seeing the changes in Lin Wulang over the years, he felt that Lin Wulang was not bad.
At least he didn't hold Gu Yao back, and he was good at managing household affairs. He was even very satisfied with his seven children at home.
When Gu Yao came back, she heard from the servants that Lin Wulang was looking for her. When she arrived at his yard, she saw him drinking tea with a worried look on his face.
A Lu, if there is anything that is troubling you, tell me and I will help you solve it. "
He and Lin Wulang now have a family relationship. After all, they have been together for so many years, and Lin Wulang is indeed very gentle. The housekeeper does a good job and she has no worries.
Seeing Gu Yao coming, she said, "Wife, what do you think of Ah Ping's husband? Dad told me today that Ah Ping is getting old now and it's time to find a husband, otherwise the good man will be engaged to someone else."
In fact, Lin Wulang was a little anxious. How could he not want a good son-in-law, but there were few good men in Shicheng.
Gu Yao smiled and said, "We have to take our time with this matter. We have to find Ah Ping a husband who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that we can have something to talk about with her."
She really likes men who can read, so she would never consider finding an illiterate man for Gu Ping.
Although there are few good men in Shicheng, you can still find them if you look carefully. After all, there are quite a lot of young masters from official families in Shicheng.
"You can attend more banquets, and you can also spread the word that you want to find a husband for Gu Ping. I believe you will be able to find one by then, but you still have to talk to Ah Ping and get her approval."
Gu Yao is not a feudal patriarch, so she will definitely allow Gu Ping to meet the other party.
Otherwise, how could she decide which one was right for him without seeing anything?
Of course, you can't have free love here, otherwise you will be criticized by others.
It’s okay to burn incense and meet in person. Wasn’t that how Gu Xiaoshu succeeded in the beginning?
"By the way, A-Lu, Xiaoshu's husband is pregnant. We should give him a gift when the time comes. We should also find her two husbands. After all, it's not right to have only one husband."
Lin Wulang was delighted when he heard this: "I didn't expect that Brother Wei is pregnant. That's great. I will go to see him tomorrow with gifts. I haven't been to see him recently because I was thinking about Qin Xiaoshi giving birth."
Because of Gu Xiaoshu, Wei Sanlang has a good relationship with the Gu family.
At least in the past year or so, he would sometimes chat with them at Gu's house to pass the time.
Because he hadn't been pregnant for more than a year, he was usually anxious. Sometimes he would go to the temple to burn incense.
Now that she is pregnant, Lin Wulang is of course relieved.
They are all members of the Gu family, so seeing Wei Sanlang always worried about her pregnancy, he was also worried about him.
It would indeed be a cause for gossip if the husband wasn't pregnant, especially since it's already been a year.
Now that she was pregnant, no one would say anything. If she had another girl, Gu Xiaoshu would have someone to carry on her legacy.
"It's time for Xiaoshu to find two other husbands. It's hard to believe that she didn't find one before, but with Xiaoshu's current family fortune, there will probably be many men who only want to marry her."
Sure enough, two days later, Gu Xiaoshu's two husbands were settled, one was the son of a scholar, and the other was the son of a student.
Both of them wanted to find a good family, especially since the son had a reputation.
But her family was very poor and had no property, so being able to marry Gu Xiaoshu was considered good enough.
At least I can help both families with the status of the Gu family.
Gu Xiaoshu was flattered that two men from prestigious families wanted to marry her.
"Madam, why don't I reject them? After all, their mothers are both scholars and students. It would be a loss for them to marry me."
Gu Yao smiled and said, "Since they like you, they must think you are capable. Just accept it. After all, you still need two husbands. At most, you can be nicer to them in the future. After all, you are a member of our Gu family. Don't you think you are not worthy of them?"
Gu Xiaoshu did think so. After all, she had no official title and was only a minor official. What if they thought she was marrying above her station after she married them? "
"Don't worry. If they are willing to marry you, they know that you will be their wife and mistress in the future, and they will serve you well. Go back more often to accompany these husbands, treat them better, and give them more gold and silver jewelry. They will definitely like you more."
Gu Yao always thought that Gu Xiaoshu was not bad, and he did his job well in the government office and had good relationships with people, so there was no question of whether he was marrying above his station or not.
Now she has a family business again. The two scholars and the student's families are very poor. They want to marry Gu Xiaoshu just because of the hard work, so she thinks the two of them are quite suitable.
After hearing what Gu Yao said, Gu Xiaoshu agreed. In her heart, Gu Yao was the smartest, so whatever she said was what mattered.
When Zhu Tongsheng and Chu Xiucai heard that Gu Xiaoshu disagreed, they were very happy and immediately decorated their house and waited for the matchmaker to come.
Zhu Tongsheng looked at his son and said, "It's good for you to marry into the Gu family. You will have a good life in the future. Just don't forget your family."
Zhu Dalang said immediately after hearing this: "Don't worry, mother. I won't forget my mother's family. After all, my mother's family is my support. Only when my mother's family is doing well can I be well."
Zhu Dalang was very satisfied to be able to join the Gu family. Although he was the son of a scholar, his family really didn't have much property.
He usually has to work in the fields, and his mother hasn't passed the imperial examination to become a scholar yet. It's been many years and she probably won't be able to pass it.
Now her mother is still thinking about whether to open a private school to enroll some children, so that she can earn some money for the family.
"Da Lang, I'm thinking about opening a private school in the future. It just happens to be in the village. This way I can collect some money and give you some as a dowry."
After all, it's for the family. After all, he has a daughter who needs to get married, so if he doesn't increase income and cut down on expenses, she probably won't even be able to marry a son-in-law.
