Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

An Ran didn't know what kind of impact he had on those little girls, but he said that when the matchmaker came over, he would naturally propose marriage to An Ran.

Mrs. Gu still said the same thing.

"Does the old aunt know the conditions proposed by my girl?" Old Mrs. Gu said.

The matchmaker surnamed Wang nodded and said: "I know, I know, everyone in our circle has heard about it."

Mrs. Gu nodded and said, "Is the Huang family still willing to meet the conditions you mentioned?"

Matchmaker Wang said: "Yes, yes! You have always been in the countryside and don't know much about the situation in the city. You don't know which family I'm talking about, right? It's Young Master Huang Wu of the famous Huang Family Bank in the city! The Huang family is Those who open a bank have a lot of money! In our county, their family's money is second to none, and no one dares to say that they are first. I think I am a perfect match for our girl Gu."

Old Mrs. Gu said doubtfully: "If you are so rich, why do you want to marry An Ran from our family? Wouldn't it be possible to marry a better girl?"

Matchmaker Wang clapped her hands and said: "You may not know that there are eight young masters in their family! Others praise their family for being lucky, saying that their family is like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, but with eight children, no matter how rich they are, they will not be banned! In addition, in the future, , in order to prevent the family from being divided and reduced, this large amount of money must be divided among the old family. The other seven sons, and even new sons in the future, may not be able to share much. In this way, , said to be one of the top rich men in our county, it is not easy for this fifth young master to marry a girl with good conditions. "

Matchmaker Wang's mouth became dry as she spoke, and she took a sip of tea, and continued: "At the last auction, Mr. Huang, Mrs. Huang, and Mr. Huang all met your Miss Gu. I was really satisfied with her ability. I feel like marrying her back." I will definitely lead Mr. Huang to live a good life, so I asked me to come over and mention this matter."

"As for your Miss Gu's request, it's really not a big deal to their family. Not all the children are named Gu, but only some of the children are named Gu. That's totally fine. In fact, they have so many sons. It would be a big deal to let one of them go out to recruit a child. , but their family is concerned about face and doesn’t want to be said that the richest man wants to let his son out to be his son-in-law, so he has been insisting on marrying a daughter-in-law. In fact, it is just a shame to pretend to be fat. In the past few years, four daughters-in-law have entered the house. After giving birth to another child, the family expenses increased greatly. Even the richest man could hardly hold on and was about to collapse. Therefore, although the Huang family is the richest in our county, the betrothal gifts prepared for their sons, except for the eldest young master, , the other young masters don’t give much, so the betrothal gift is too small, and it is impossible to hire a good wife. Your Miss Gu is already pretty good. Although her background is a bit low, she is capable and has a lot of dowry. And she is from a wealthy family in the capital. She is well-educated and knowledgeable. Wouldn’t marrying her be better than marrying a girl from a poorer family in the county? Anyway, Young Master Huang Wu can’t marry a girl from a better-off family in the county.”

Mrs. Gu couldn't help but worry when matchmaker Wang said that the Huang family had too many sons, so she couldn't give too much as a betrothal gift. She was afraid that the other party wouldn't give much as a betrothal gift, and her granddaughter's marriage would be too shabby by then, and the news spread to Beijing that she would be married off. The person laughed, so he immediately asked: "Then...how much is the betrothal gift?"

Matchmaker Wang stretched out a finger and said, "I can only give you so much."

"One hundred taels?!" Mrs. Gu said in surprise.

It's not like he has ten taels, he is the richest man in the county.

But one hundred taels, Mrs. Gu thought it was not too little. After all, the condition proposed by her granddaughter, to be honest, there were still people willing to pay one hundred taels as a betrothal gift, which she thought was very good.

Matchmaker Wang couldn't help but was speechless after hearing this, and said: "Old sister, what do you think? After all, he is the richest man in our county and he runs a bank. Even if the gift is small, how can it be one hundred taels? Of course it is one thousand taels!"

"A thousand taels?!" Mrs. Gu couldn't help but lost her voice after hearing this, secretly thinking that this is also called a betrothal gift that is too small? ! If so, how much should it be? ! This is simply because poverty limits my imagination!

Matchmaker Wang said: "Exactly! Old sister, the Huang family has at least one hundred thousand taels of silver. I heard that their family has an income of tens of thousands taels every year. It is really not too much to prepare a betrothal gift of one thousand taels for their sons. .”

This much money is nothing in the capital. After all, an ordinary wealthy family in the capital has an income of more than 10,000 taels a year, but in this small county, this much is really a lot.

So when Mrs. Gu heard that the Huang family had an income of tens of thousands taels a year, she once again felt that the door to a new world had opened. She thought about how rich these rich people must be! Their family is still struggling to have enough food and clothing, but in fact they are already doing well in the village. However, they have an income of tens of thousands taels a year.

So Mrs. Gu immediately said: "Since the Huang family doesn't mind the conditions proposed by my girl, that's fine. I'll ask the girl later to see what she thinks."

Matchmaker Wang knows that other people's homes may be dictated by parents or matchmakers, but the Gu family's situation is different. Miss Gu is the most assertive person in the family, so it is normal for Mrs. Gu to ask her opinion on major marriage matters, so At that moment, Matchmaker Wang said: "No problem, I'm waiting for news from my elder sister."

After Matchmaker Wang left, Mrs. Gu asked An Ran for her opinion.

When holding auctions before, An Ran got to know some wealthy families in the county, and knew that Matchmaker Wang basically told no lies. The Huang family did have many sons and married many daughters-in-law. Now the family has a large population, which leads to too much expenses. , so that it is possible that the betrothal gift is small.

So An Ran immediately said: "I will send someone to inquire about their family situation. If they are good, I can agree."

She said she sent someone to inquire, but in fact she went out to inquire on her own. In such a small county, it is not difficult to inquire about such things.

When Mrs. Gu heard what An Ran said, she said, "That's it, send someone to inquire first."

She easily believed that An Ran could find out. If it were another granddaughter who told her this, she would not believe it at all, because she did not believe that the other party had that ability. However, An Ran even organized an auction, and even organized an auction. She was so successful that people from all over the country got to know her and praised her for her ability. This ability made Mrs. Gu believe An Ran no matter what she said.

After An Ran inquired about it, she found that the situation of Young Master Huang Wu was basically the same as what the matchmaker Wang said. The only thing was that Young Master Huang Wu was born as a concubine, but his aunt was not the kind of person who climbed into bed at all costs, but Mrs. Huang's. The confidant maid was arranged for her husband to keep as a pet when she was pregnant and unable to serve her husband. The relationship between the master and servant has always been very good, so Master Huang Wu said he was a concubine, but in fact the mistress treated him well. This is also Mrs. Huang She was worried about his marriage, fell in love with the capable An Ran, and felt that she could help this bastard.
