Chapter 894 Adding dowry

When Sheng Changbai heard this, he nodded in agreement. A gentleman should be straightforward. If possible, he naturally did not want Gu Tingye to use deception.

Gu Tingye sat on the seat, holding the armrests tightly with his palms. After thinking for a long time, he made a difficult decision and said.

"In that case, I'm going to propose to Sheng Sheng now. It's just that Madam Sheng and Minglan still need more trouble from you, Ziqing!"

Li Zhan was also a resolute person. He stood up directly and walked out of the room, saying.

"In that case, I will go to Shou'an Hall to be a lobbyist for you!"

Seeing this, Gu Tingye became more confident and immediately prepared to return home and visit Sheng Hong and his wife with gifts.

In the Shou'an Hall, Li Zhan sat at the bottom, looking at Old Mrs. Sheng, explaining his intentions clearly, and quietly waiting for his grandmother to make a decision.

Minglan seemed to have been shocked. She was stunned, staring blankly at the void in front of her, wandering in the sky.

It took a long time for Old Mrs. Sheng to come back to her senses. She coughed, which woke Minglan up and turned her gaze to Old Mrs. Sheng.

"Although Gu Tingye has a high and powerful position, he has a notorious reputation. What will happen if Minglan marries him?"

Mrs. Sheng looked worried. Gu Tingye's reputation back then was so bad that all the daughters of good families were unwilling to marry him. Now he has become a close confidant of the official family, and almost everyone who comes to propose marriage will The threshold of his home has been leveled and it has become very popular.

Li Zhan knew Mrs. Sheng's worries and quickly assured her.

"Rumors are often untrue. Grandma, don't take it to heart. You should know that I will not cheat Minglan!"

Mrs. Sheng nodded. She still had great trust in Li Zhan. Gu Tingye could hire Li Zhan as a lobbyist, so his character should be guaranteed.

"In that case, I have no objection. The rest depends on whether Minglan is willing?"

Mrs. Sheng cast her loving eyes on Minglan, with a hint of questioning in her expression.

Minglan saw Li Zhan and Mrs. Sheng looking at her, and a flash of panic flashed in her heart. She was so confused at this time, she was surprised that Gu Tingye actually fell in love with him, and she was shocked that Gu Tingye had played so many tricks in order to marry her. means.

Minglan did have a bad impression of Gu Tingye before, but after Gu Tingye saved her life many times, she got to know Gu Tingye deeply. Her impression of him changed drastically, and she felt that he was a pitiful and respectable person.

Minglan was deeply moved by what Gu Tingye had done, but she still didn't dare to entrust her life to him easily and had concerns.

Li Zhan looked at the hesitant Minglan and was helpless. There were some things that Gu Tingye could only face by himself, so he suggested.

"I think if you are still shaken and can't make up your mind, you might as well have a deep talk with Gu Tingye. It's not too late for you to make a decision!"

Minglan looked at her grandmother timidly, hoping that she could help her make an idea.

Mrs. Sheng saw that Minglan was also undecided, so she felt that Li Zhan's suggestion was also a good idea, so she nodded and gave instructions.

"In that case, go to Wei Ruixuan and invite Gu Tingye!"

Li Zhan got up and left Shou'antang, invited Gu Tingye over and informed him of the matter.

Li Zhan stayed outside the hall, looking at the blue sky. He felt that the spring day was just right, so he ordered someone to bring a deck chair, and gradually fell asleep under the sunshine.

Gu Tingye walked out of Shou'antang Hall briskly, unable to conceal his surprise and excitement. He wanted to share his inner joy with Li Zhan, but when he saw Li Zhan who was sleeping soundly in spring, he couldn't help but have black lines on his head.

Originally, Li Zhan stayed outside the hall to prevent Minglan's reputation from being damaged. Now he ignored Minglan and Gu Tingye's conversation and actually fell asleep. It was really unreliable.

Gu Tingye walked to the recliner, reached out and gently pushed Li Zhan a few times to wake him up, and announced the good news excitedly.

"Ziqing, Minglan promised me!"

Gu Tingye grabbed Li Zhan's arm tightly. It was as beautiful as a dream, making him feel a little unreal, with a hint of uncertainty in his tiger eyes.

Li Zhan opened his sleepy eyes in a daze, looked at the excited Gu Tingye, and impatiently opened Gu Tingye's fingers, waved his hands, and said with an impatient look on his face.

"I know, then go back and prepare for the wedding. Don't disturb my nap!"

Gu Tingye watched Li Zhan turn over, turned his back to him, fell asleep again, calmed down a little, and no longer disturbed Li Zhan's rest, and left Sheng Mansion with light steps.

Time flies, ten days have passed, and the two daughters of the Sheng family have set their wedding dates. Wang Ruofu feels sorry for his daughter Ru Lan, but cannot resist Ru Lan, and agrees to Wen Yanjing's proposal of marriage.

Li Zhan and Hualan came to Sheng's house holding two red sandalwood boxes. They exchanged a few words in Wei Ruixuan. Li Zhan came to Shou'antang holding one of the red sandalwood boxes.

Old Mrs. Sheng was adding a dowry to Minglan. In addition to the money from the Sheng Mansion, she also included a lot of gold, silver, jade and several shops in her dowry to support Minglan.

Li Zhan was not polite, so he took the dowry list from Old Mrs. Sheng's hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and then raised his head and said exaggeratedly to Old Mrs. Sheng.

"Grandma is so partial. She actually came up with so many good things. I'm so jealous!"

Mrs. Sheng looked at Li Zhan who was playing tricks and laughed and cursed.

"Now you are a boss. You are still such a scoundrel, and you are jealous of girl Ming!"

Li Zhan smiled slightly and sat next to Old Mrs. Sheng without meeting each other. He put down the rosewood box in his hand and said rogue.

"I will always be a junior in front of my grandmother, so naturally I can be jealous of Minglan!"

Mrs. Sheng glanced at the cheating Li Zhan, reached out and slapped him, and said with a smile.

"You will try your best to make me happy!"

Mrs. Sheng glanced at the rosewood box Li Zhan placed at hand and asked.

"What did you get here?"

Li Zhan picked up the rosewood box and handed it to Mrs. Sheng. Then he picked up the dowry list and walked to the desk nearby. He dipped his purple pen full of ink and added a few strokes to the list.

Li Zhan looked at the few additions to the list with satisfaction and nodded. After the ink dried, he took it back and handed it to Ming Lan, and asked quite plainly.

"Are you satisfied with it?"

Minglan was confused by Li Zhan's operation. Looking around, she saw the words "Ten shops, five Zhuangzi, hundreds of hectares of fertile land, ten thousand taels of gold, and fifty thousand taels of silver."

Minglan's eyes widened, she looked at Li Zhan in disbelief, and she quickly declined in fear.

"Brother-in-law, this is too expensive. I don't dare to take it. You should give it to the fifth sister!"

Li Zhan shook his head, glanced at Mrs. Sheng, and said.

"This is not what I gave you. It's the dowry I gave you for my grandmother, so you can keep it and keep it at the bottom of the box!"

"As for Ru Lan, your eldest sister has already sent it to her!"
