Chapter 354 Chance Encounter

"The Wan Xiucai family?" Mrs. Chen was stunned when she heard this: "But the Wan Xiucai family of the Wanjia private school in the town?"

Matchmaker Zhou said: "It is his family. The eldest son of Wan Xiucai's family is seventeen this year. He is studying now and plans to take the scientific examination next year. With Master Wan's knowledge, it is certain that he will take the examination next year."

“My family runs a private school, teaching and educating people. Wan Xiucai’s disciples are all over our Qingfu Town, and our old classmates are all over He’an Prefecture.”

"In addition to the private school, the Wan family also has a house in the town and nearly a hundred acres of land in the countryside. The family is simple, with only two brothers. Wan Xiucai's wife is also easy to talk to. She is not a shrew in the market. Everyone is literate. A gentle man. If your girl marries into the Wan family, she will really not suffer at all and will only enjoy blessings."

 Matchmaker Zhou has an upright appearance, with no makeup or makeup on her face, which makes her look very comfortable. Moreover, she was an official media, registered in the government office, and her status was unusual. After she showed her official media brand, Mrs. Chen had a lot of trust in her.

However, her family has already fallen in love with Chang Errui and is now waiting for the Yuan family to come to propose marriage. How can they accept the marriage of Wan Xiucai's family.

Chen said: "To be honest with Matchmaker Zhou, my niece's marriage is decided by her father. Unfortunately, Sister Mei's father is not here today. You go back first, and I will tell him about it when her father comes back."

After Zhou Matchmaker heard this, she didn't pester her. She sat for a while, left the gift from the Wan family, and then left.

Gu Yumei sat in her room and listened, her face already red. The young master of Wan Xiucai's family is still good at reading. He will become a scholar after taking the scientific examination next year. The family has a private school, a house, and hundreds of acres of land. This family's financial situation is good.

As soon as Ms. Chen entered her room, she saw her blushing and snickering. She clicked her tongue and said, "Are you happy to see you like that?"

Gu Yumei didn't dare to say that she was happy. She only blamed Gu Dafu: "Marriage matters are naturally ordered by my parents. My father has the final say."

Her father loves her, and if she begs her father, he will definitely agree.

"Huh, it's good that you know. Be honest and diligent during this period. The Yuan family may come here at any time. If they see you being lazy, they will dislike you." After saying this, Mrs. Chen left the room and continued. He went to prepare the spices. Seeing that Gu Yumei didn't come out, he shouted again: "Are you deaf? I told you to work harder. What are you doing hiding in the room? Come out and work quickly."

Gu Yumei could only go out of the room and continue to mix the spices.

 In the evening, after the family had dinner, Ms. Chen told the story about Wan Xiucai’s family coming to propose marriage.

"The Wan Xiucai family has actually fallen in love with our sister Mei." Gu Dafu was very happy. After all, there were hundreds of families asking for girls, and the number of people who came to propose marriage made his girls more valuable.

only…

“Wan Xiucai seems a bit pedantic, doesn’t pay much attention to others, and seems a bit difficult to get along with.”

On the day the shop opened, Gu Dexing felt very comfortable being flattered by Wan Lifang, so he helped the Wan family speak: "Dad, Wan Xiu is a scholar with a good reputation. He is inevitably a bit aloof, but he is a very good person. On the day the shop opened, he was He solved a lot of doubts for his son. Xu Tongsheng couldn't teach, so my son asked him for advice. After he told his son once, his son understood."

Gu Dexing looked at Gu Dafu's face and saw that he was not dissatisfied, and then said: "Dad, Wan Xiucai is a scholar, and he is already a noble family. This noble family is different from the common people. If our family can marry the Wan Xiucai family, it can be regarded as a change of lintel. …Grandpa’s lifelong wish is to change the lintel.”

 Gu Dafu’s eyes turned red when he heard him mention his father. Yes, his father’s lifelong wish was for his children to become famous and transform from farmers into scholars.

Seeing that Gu Dafu was a little moved, Gu Dagui quickly reminded him: "Brother, we are still waiting for news from the Yuan family." Gu Dafu also remembered the Yuan family's affairs. Although Wan Xiucai's family was good, he still felt that Yuan's family was in trouble. That side of the family is more suitable for Sister Mei. After all, the Yuan family is good, and Sister Mei will not be upset if she marries her.

"What the second brother said is, don't rush this matter. Let's wait for the Yuan family first." Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui both wanted to wait for the Yuan family. Although Gu Dexing and Gu Yumei liked the Wan family better, they could only Give up.

 Several families were surprised when they heard that Wan Xiucai's family had invited an official mediator to Gu Dafu's house to propose marriage. They were relieved to learn that Gu Dafu did not accept the proposal.

Grandpa San said: "The rich man has a clear vision. Although Wan Xiucai's family is good, the Yuan family is more suitable for us farmers."

He has also seen that Wan Xiucai, he is a noble person and likes to put on a bad air. Wan Lifang is not noble and can talk. But the third grandfather just doesn't like Wan Lifang. He thinks he is very vain and not as good as Chang Errui. Be practical.

The third grandma said: "Dafu has always been a down-to-earth person. If he likes the Yuan family, he will wait for news from the Yuan family and will not change his mind halfway. Don't worry."

But Gu Dafu waited and did not wait until the Yuan family came to propose marriage. He was a little anxious and a little angry. What did the Yuan family mean?

 Have you taken a liking to his sister Mei?

Isn’t it a great day when the shop opens?

It’s been ten days, why haven’t you come yet to propose marriage? Two days ago, when the scholar's house was full of people, he invited matchmaker Zhou to visit her again, but he held her back and refused to accept the request.

 Gu Dafu was anxious.

Ms. Chen was also anxious. Seeing that the Yuan family had not come to propose marriage for such a long time, she looked at Gu Yumei with disgust: "Did you do something that day that made the Yuan family dislike you?"

Gu Yumei felt a little guilty, but she quickly retorted: "Second Aunt, you were there that day. There is nothing I can do, but please don't accuse me wrongly."

He sneered again and said, "It's probably because the Yuan family feels that they are not worthy of our family, so they are too embarrassed to come to propose marriage."

"Bah, with the Yuan family's conditions, you still think you are not worthy of our family? What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Chen spat at Gu Yumei, thinking that she really dared to say that the Yuan family is the eldest son's family and has a brick kiln. In this village, you need money and status, and if you don't deserve it, it's because her family doesn't deserve it.

When Gu Dexing saw Chen scolding Gu Yumei again, he walked out of the room and said, "Sister Mei, have you packed up? Let's leave after packing."

"Okay." Gu Yumei smoothed her hair, straightened her newly made summer clothes, and followed Gu Dexing out.

Ms. Chen didn't stop her. Today, Gu Yumei and Gu Dexing went to the cloth store in the town to buy fabrics to make purses for the Qiqiao Festival. When they were ready, they sent two to the Yuan family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which was a way of urging the Yuan family.

 After sending the money for the Qiqiao Festival, if the Yuan family is really interested, they should come to propose marriage, or else they should tell them the truth and make it clear whether it is successful or not.

The Gu Dexing brothers and sisters went there on foot. After walking for half an hour, a mule cart stopped next to them.

Wan Lifang lifted the car curtain and looked at them with a smile on his face: "Li Fang thought he was wrong, but it turned out to be Brother Gu."
