Chapter 74
Gu Qingmei did some calculations and said, "About four to five hundred taels."

At this moment, Gu Shaowu's voice was heard from outside the yard, "Mother, Fourth Aunt is here and wants you to go home."

Gu Liushi and Gu Qingmei's heart skipped a beat all of a sudden, their hearts were broken, Li Zhaodi must have listened to what they just said.

Sure enough, I heard Li Zhaodi's unhappy voice, "What are you arguing about? It shows that you have a loud voice!"

Gu Liu raised her hand in frustration and smacked herself, saying: "Look at my mouth, I know she likes to listen to windows, but I still ask you this kind of question."

Gu Qingmei said coldly: "Just listen to it, I'm afraid what's wrong with her, if she dares to instigate big brother to steal money again, I won't let them off so easily like last time."

When Gu Liushi heard her say bad things about her eldest son, she was a little displeased, "Don't talk nonsense, no matter how bad he is, he is still your elder brother!"

Gu Qingmei said angrily: "Mother, it's because of your thinking that you are used to this big brother!"

Gu Liushi glared at her, but thinking that her daughter had earned so much money recently, she felt that she lacked confidence, so she could only go back to Dongli Room secretly.

Thinking of his unbelievable eldest son, he inevitably felt ashamed.

When it was getting dark, Gu Yunzhi's family came, and he giggled like an old hen when he entered the door, "Second sister-in-law, I congratulate you, the task you entrusted to me has been completed!"

Gu Liu hurriedly let her into the east room, "Come in and sit down, is that really going to happen?"

Gu Yunzhi's family said hello to Gu Yunbai, then sat on the edge of the kang and said, "It's done. When I entered the door, I was a little worried. I didn't expect that I just opened my mouth to explain my purpose. The wife of that family asked clearly. After Brother Yang's name, he agreed immediately, and now I can't escape the matchmaking ceremony."

Gu Qingmei heard it in Xilijian, took a silver ingot of twelve taels from the box, came to Donglijian, and stuffed it into the palm of Gu Yunzhi's house, "Auntie, thank you for your hard work this trip, my third brother's matter, You have to take so much trouble, we must do it successfully. I am young and do not know what to do, you should remember to mention my mother when the time comes. What do you need to buy, what to buy, you can make a list for me later. "

Seeing that she was so generous, Gu Liushi was very distressed, but it was hard to say anything in front of her, let alone get the money back, but the expression on her face was a little unnatural.

When Gu Yunzhi's family saw that Gu Qingmei's hand turned out to be a ten tael ingot of silver ingots, they couldn't keep their eyes open from laughing. They repeatedly praised Gu Qingmei's ability, and said that they would find a good husband for Gu Qingmei in the future.

Gu Qingmei exchanged some polite words with her, found out the date when the Geng Tie would be placed in Xiaoding, and sent her out.

After returning, Mrs. Gu Liu complained: "You kid, although you have made some money, you can't spend it recklessly. Your third aunt usually guarantees a matchmaker, and at most she can earn one or two taels of silver. You can earn dozens of dollars, and you actually gave her ten taels of silver in one go."

"Mother, the reason I gave her so much money is to let her do her best for our family. Our family and Tian's family are originally high-ranking, and we can't tolerate any mistakes."

Gu Liushi sighed, "Anyway, you earned the money, so I can't control so much."

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Mrs. Gu came to the next yard to meet Mrs. Gu. The son said he was kissed, and according to the rules, he had to tell the old man.

Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes, "I know that your Meizi has made money by painting flowers recently, but even if you make money, you have to know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, what is Tang Geer's boss?" Status? That's a relative of the emperor, you've been fooled by the lard, and you still want to climb up to the relatives of the emperor, you don't even think about it, how much money do you have? Can you afford someone else's daughter?"

Gu Liu said: "Miss Qianjin must bring a dowry when she comes to marry, and we can't spend our own money."

"Damn! What do you mean we can't spend our own money? To marry this daughter-in-law, you have to build her a house. She is a daughter of a thousand gold. Can you live in an adobe house with your poor boy? No matter how you say it, you have to build it for her. How much does it cost for a few big tile-roofed houses? Last time I asked you to make a set of head and face jewelry for your sister-in-law’s granddaughter. Look at you one by one, one said no money, the other said no money, and finally got a few pieces Broken jewelry, let me take it to shame, now I have money to build a big house?"

Gu Liu held back her breath and said, "Isn't this one moment and another moment? There was really no money at that time, and the money was earned by Meizi's hard work in drawing flowers in recent days."

"Since you have money now, then give your sister-in-law 50 taels and buy a small village so that my great-granddaughter can go out in style."

Gu Liushi didn't come up in one breath, and was almost dizzy by her mother-in-law, but she didn't dare to argue with her mother-in-law, but whispered softly: "The money is all earned by Meizi, and I won't count if I say it."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Gu immediately widened her eyes. "How did you become a mother? You can't even be the master of a girl?"

Gu Liu said: "Meizi is getting more and more capable now, and I really can't be her master as a mother."

Mrs. Gu immediately got off the kang, put on her shoes, and went outside, "Since you can't make the decision, I'll go and tell her."

Gu Liu's face suddenly changed, "Mother..."

However, Mrs. Gu ignored her obstruction and walked out briskly, all the way to Gu Qingmei's room.

Gu Qingmei was leaning on the kangqin to sew handbags. Seeing her lift the curtain and come in, she couldn't help but frowned slightly. Ever since the old lady forced the whole family to give her aunt's granddaughter a head jewelry, she felt Tired of this old lady.

Mrs. Gu sat on the edge of the kang leaning her body, and said pleasantly: "Meizi, I heard that you have earned a lot of money now?"

Alarm bells rang in Gu Qingmei's heart, "I don't have much money, it's just a few tricks, how much money can I make?"

"Grandmother has something to discuss with you. Your aunt's granddaughter is married and doesn't have much dowry. Since you have money, why don't you borrow 100 taels from grandma and ask grandma to buy a villa for your cousin and niece? Wouldn't it save face as a dowry? "

Gu Qingmei thought to herself, sure enough, as soon as this old lady appeared, she had nothing else to do except ask for money.

She put down the needle and thread in her hand, looked at the old lady Gu seriously, and said, "Grandma, it stands to reason that I can't refuse you if you have spoken."

Old lady Gu said: "I knew you were a good boy!"

But Gu Qingmei said again: "It's just that my fourth brother wants to get married here, and the money in my hand is not even enough to build a house for him. You didn't see that I was doing work for nothing, so you wanted to sell some more money and give it to me. Fourth brother save some more money."
