Chapter 307: Forcing a good girl to be a concubine

When the onlookers heard this, they were all in an uproar.

"If you take a concubine, you can get a dowry of a thousand taels of gold. This is a thousand taels of gold!"

One tael of gold, ten taels of silver.

Thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver.

The people around him wished they could replace him with their own bodies.

You can get both a beautiful concubine and great wealth. Where can you find such good things?

Just when everyone thought that Gu Mingda would definitely agree, Gu Mingda slowly shook his head and said: "One is like honey and another is like arsenic. My wife and I have already made a white-headed promise, and we will never accept two colors for the rest of our lives. Although I have never met my daughter, I think that as a woman, if there is no one who is willing to accept herself as a concubine, she will definitely find her own lover in the future. "

Gu Mingda's words were quite tactful at this time.

However, the merchant left it to his own devices and said with a smile: "Master Zhuang Yuan, but the mother in the family is ferocious? Don't worry, my little daughter not only has a dowry of a thousand taels of gold, but she is also kind and gentle. Parents who take good care of themselves will not cause trouble to the No. 1 Scholar."

Gu Mingda was a little impatient at this time. Why did this man seem to be unable to understand people? He frowned and said: "Not to mention his gentle temper, not to mention the price of a thousand taels of gold, which is ten thousand taels or one hundred thousand taels." "Gold, there is no need to mention this matter. My wife and I have a deep relationship and have never wanted to take a concubine!"

After that, Gu Mingda was afraid that the man would continue to pester him, so he whipped his whip and the horse took two quick steps away from here.

Some people are like snakes and scorpions when it comes to taking concubines, while others flock to them like birds of prey.

The number two in the crowd gave his chief attendant a look. The chief immediately stepped forward, grabbed the merchant who wanted to marry his daughter, and said, "Sir, you don't have to hang yourself from a tree. The number one scholar refuses, so my second prize I’m willing to help with this.”

The businessman thought of his daughter who had a bad appearance and was said to be either the top pick or the top pick.

Tanhua is not married yet, but everyone in the capital knows that he is Ge Lao's son-in-law. How can a merchant dare to provoke Ge Lao? So after thinking about it, only the number one scholar with a weaker foundation can give it a try.

But then he thought about it. The second-placed wife had recently lost his wife, and it seemed that his daughter would benefit more from being a house filler instead of a concubine.

"Okay, okay, if No. 2 is willing to marry my daughter, I am willing to increase the dowry by another 30%."

Listening to the merchant's words, Chang Sui frowned slightly.

Others don’t know how the second-ranked man lost his wife, how can the long-term follower not know? How could this man of mine be willing to marry a businessman's daughter, who only wanted to become a rich man after high school?

"Sir, you are joking. Why should a woman who doesn't even want to be a concubine for the Number One Scholar want to be my master's wife? If word spreads about it, will my master still be an official in the officialdom in the future?" Chang Sui said with a cold face.

When the merchant heard this, he suddenly thought to himself that it was bad.

But the worse was yet to come, so he would not have started or said this. Otherwise, he would not have been threatened.

Chang Sui knew his master's temperament and said viciously: "Your daughter is willing to be a concubine for the number one scholar, but she refuses to be a concubine for my master? Do you look down on my master? Are you bent on offending my master?"

When the merchant heard this, he suddenly looked horrified.

Chang Sui continued: "Your daughter not only has to be my master's concubine, but the dowry she carries must also be three layers thick! Otherwise, you are deliberately trying to offend my master!" Gu Mingda didn't know that this businessman's daughter would eventually become a concubine. , when he came back from riding a horse through the streets, his family was already waiting for him.

Everyone could clearly hear what he said about rejecting the kiss earlier.

Niu Niu clapped her hands and said happily: "Daddy stays calm in times of danger! So awesome!"

When Gu Mingda heard this, his head suddenly filled with black threads, and he said, "Don't just learn that word and use it randomly. Being calm in the face of danger means being calm in the face of danger..."

Gu Mingda's characteristic of being a teacher came to light again. When he heard his daughter quoting idioms randomly, he couldn't help but correct her.

Niuniu was accustomed to her father dropping his book bag. Not only did she not feel irritated, but she still listened attentively.

"Dad taught my daughter today, and she remembered it. This word cannot be used, so which word should my daughter use?" Niuniu asked.

Without waiting for Gu Mingda to answer, Sun Jiaxing said: "Silly boy, what other word could you use? Naturally, you are still in peace, Liu Xiahui is still alive!"

As he spoke, Sun Jiaxing couldn't help but laugh, bowed to Gu Mingda, and explained: "Last year, when I was ranked second in high school, there were businessmen who stood in front of me, and they were also interested in the number one scholar, but they were I am happy to accept it, but I can’t compare to Brother Gu who is so calm in times of crisis!”

Sun Jiaxing deliberately quoted the idiom that Niu Niu said wrongly just to tease Gu Mingda.

It was rare for Gu Mingda to be teased like this by his friends, and he was not shy on his face. Instead, he turned to look at Zhang Yunniang and said: "There are many people today, and I am not afraid of others laughing. My attitude towards Yunniang has always been the same."

When Zhang Yuniang heard this, her cheeks turned red and there were tears in her eyes.

Gu Mingda reached out and held his wife's hand.

The only thing he is worried about is not his wife's misunderstanding, but the possible difficulties he may have.

After all, it was a thousand taels of gold, but Mrs. Gu was always thinking about it.

Gu Mingda added: "Twenty thousand taels of gold is better than being able to stay together as a family and come together."

Gu Mingda thought that he would say a few more words, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Gu didn't realize that these words were being said to her.

She even clapped her hands and said, "Second brother, just understand this. Everything is going well for your family and your family. No matter how many concubines you have, they are not as good as your original wife!"

Gu Mingda also didn't expect that my mother would suddenly have such an awareness.

Mrs. Gu said: "These days, I have been wandering around the market and listened to a lot of stories! The most terrible one is that the quarrel between wives and concubines in the previous dynasty actually caused a prime minister to confiscate his house and exterminate his family! It can be seen that this It’s better to have some peace in the back house!”

"Besides, Yun Niang has worked hard for so many years to take care of the family business, serve the parents-in-law, and educate the children. I can't find a better daughter-in-law than her!"

Gu Mingda has no shortage of children. Although Mrs. Gu is heartbroken over the loss of a thousand taels of gold, the old man also knows that Zhang Yunniang is filial to her. Some other daughter-in-law might look down on her, an old woman from the countryside!

No one expected that Mrs. Gu could be so far-sighted. Mrs. Li was so envious at this moment that she just kept thinking in her heart, why is such a good mother-in-law not her own?

Niu Niu was young and spoke straightforwardly. She threw herself directly into Mrs. Gu's arms and said, "Grandma knows a lot of truths! Grandma is really the anchor of the family! I will learn more from grandma in the future! However, grandma didn't tell me many of her stories. When will you tell Niuniu the story about the quarrel between wives and concubines? "
