Chapter 72 The biggest investment after time travel

That's a lot of money!

Thinking of this, Gao Wen calmed down and asked, "Mr. Shi, why do you tell me to trust you? Is it possible that because of your words, I will give you 4000 taels of silver?"

Shi Linsheng nodded: "That's right, 4000 taels is not a small amount after all, and many people have never seen so much money in their entire lives. Gao Wen, if you believe me, I can write you an IOU. If the matter is not settled in the end If it works, you can come to find my bad luck. If it works, hehe, old man..."

Yes, if things come to fruition, old man Shi will be holding Gao Wen's handle, so are you afraid that he won't succeed?

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Linsheng picked up a pen and wrote down the IOU of 4000 taels of silver on the paper, stamped his fingerprints with inkpad, handed it to Gao Wen, and shouted sharply: "If the matter is successful, you have to marry my daughter Judging from your article, it is not a problem to be a Jinshi in the future. If there is such a day, you will give her the title of an imperial wife. The old man has already felt sorry for my poor San, so I can only use this method To make up for it. Gao Wen, write a marriage letter to this old man."

Having said that, old man Shi cried again.

From the bottom of his heart, Gao Wen was still very willing to exchange 4000 taels for a good citizenship.However, the old man Shi added such a condition, which made him a little unhappy... But, this is the Ming Dynasty and ancient times.There is no such thing as free marriage. Isn't it the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker that a man and a woman get married?Come to think of it, I will do the same when I get married in the future.Forget it, let it go, let it go, for the sake of my own future, I just want to marry that Shi Youyi in the future.Besides, that little girl is really beautiful!

Thinking of Shi Youyi's charming figure, Gao Wen's heart shuddered.

Immediately, he picked up the pen and wrote a marriage letter to Shi Linsheng, and said: "This matter is really too important, and it will cost so much money. My money is all placed with my mother. This matter needs to be approved by her old man." yes."

"That's natural." When Shi Xianzhu saw the marriage letter, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "Good handwriting, your handwriting is born to be compiled and edited, and the old man's eye for knowing people is really good." In his mind, he had raised Gao Wen's future from Juren to Jinshi, and finally to Hanlin.

After receiving the marriage certificate, Shi Linsheng said solemnly: "Today I have sent someone to send your article to Lao Tongnian in Zhuanglang County, Pingliang Prefecture. The old man will give you a day to raise money. I will go to Pingliang the day after tomorrow to handle this matter. Now It's mid-January, and the county examination is next month. Time is running out, and you have to send a fast horse to the capital to exercise when you change your household registration. .By the way, I heard that your land deed in your hometown is still there, so bring it together so that your household registration can be transferred to Zhuanglang County."

Gao Wen thought about it, the time was really tight, if he missed it, he would really miss the county examination this year.Just nodded: "Okay, I will definitely call the old man tomorrow morning."

Shi Linsheng stood up and said, "That's it. I'll hire a carriage and horse to go to Zhuanglang County tomorrow afternoon. Listen to me, little bastard. If you go back on your word in the future and refuse to marry my daughter, or treat her badly, this old man will count as hard work." I will die with you even if I lose my family and life.”

This was already full of murderous intent, and Shi Linsheng yelled loudly about a little beast, but the problem was that Gao Wen couldn't do anything about him.

After sending Shi Linsheng away, Gao Wen was extremely excited, so how could he fall asleep.I planned to talk to my mother about this matter again tomorrow morning, but now I couldn't hold back anymore, I went out and strode towards home.

The 4000 taels are all my net worth at this moment, and I have to throw it all out this time. It can be said that it is the largest investment I have made since I traveled to the Ming Dynasty. What I invest in is my future, and what I invest in is what I can finally stand in this world. Such a height, can not be careless.

Mother Gao's ears are so keen, as soon as Gao Wengao stepped into the alley, she could already hear that it was her son who had returned.

When Gao Wen stood at the door, Gao's mother had already lit the lamp, opened the courtyard door, and asked in surprise: "Wen'er, why are you back in the middle of the night, but something important happened?"

In her heart, she suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness.

Sure enough, the son's voice sounded very heavy: "Mother, this is not a place to talk, quickly, go into the house."

After entering the main room, Shi Youyi didn't know when she had brewed a cup of Gao Wen's favorite Xinyang tea, or the expensive winter tea, put it steaming hot on the table, and was about to leave.

Gao Wen called her to stop: "Miss Shi, you also stay and listen, this matter is also related to you, close the door."

"Yes." Shi Youyi closed the door, and then put a less hot bamboo fire cage in front of Gaomu's knee, and stood behind her, her eyebrows lowered.

Gao Wen took another deep look at her, and thought to himself: Actually, although Miss Shi's family is poor, she is also from a scholarly family. She is literate, has a good temper, and knows how to be filial to her mother.A man can get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for.It's just that I don't know what she thinks.This matter between men and women cannot be forced.Today, I have to ask this matter clearly.If she doesn't want to, let it go.

He already had an idea in his mind, so he asked his mother, "Mother, how much money do we have?"

Gao's mother: "Mother has three meals a day of simple tea and light food. She has no other expenses, and she is blind. I don't know how much money the family has. You have to ask Miss Shi about this."

Shi Youyi replied in a low voice: "Everything in the house is gold, converted into silver, it looks like four thousand and dozens of taels of silver."

"That's good, that's good." Gao Wen rubbed his hands: "Get up later, I'll use it myself."

Gao's mother was surprised: "The family is so rich, Wen'er, what do you want so much money for?"

"I'll talk about this later, my son has something else he wants to ask Miss Shi."

When Shi Youyi heard this, she was obviously a little surprised: "But I don't know if Gao Dianshi has anything to ask?" The voice was gentle and gentle, even with a hint of fear.

While talking, she picked up the kettle on the stove to refill Gao Wen's teacup.

Gao Wen: "That's it. Just now, Shi Linsheng came to my residence, asked me to marry you, and asked me if I would like to."

"Ah!" Shi Youyi let out a low cry, and dropped the kettle in her hand.

Fortunately, Gao Wen had sharp eyes and quick hands, and grabbed the kettle at the nick of time.

"Ah!" Gao's mother also yelled, her face was full of joy: "Wen'er, this is a great joy! Amitabha, my Wen'er has finally grown up and is going to marry a wife. God, you really treat my Gao family Not thin! Willing, willing, willing!"

Looking at this grown-up son, and thinking of her husband who had passed away for many years, Gao's mother's eyes became wet.

"Daddy, Daddy!" Shi Youyi cried in a low voice, and the resentment, uneasiness, and sadness that had been suppressed in her heart these days were completely vented at this moment.

Gao Wen looked at Shi Youyi seriously: "Miss Shi, although it is said that marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. But now you have a family and you can't go home. Besides, I, Gao Wen, always pay attention to your love and my wishes when I come back today. I want to ask if you would like to marry me, Gao Wen, if you are willing, I will go back to your father. If not, let this matter be over."

Shi Youyi just cried, louder.

Gao's mother felt distressed for a while, hugged her future daughter-in-law, and scolded Gao Wen: "How can a girl's family stand up to your questioning, you bastard. San, don't cry, I love you."

During this period of time, Shi Youyi took good care of Gao's mother at Gao's house.

Gao's mother liked her for her filial piety and gentleness, and she already regarded her as her daughter-in-law in her heart.

"Mother!" Shi Youyi threw herself into Gao Mu's arms, her tears wet Gao Mu's clothes.

Gao Wen had something on his mind, and compared to the major decision that was about to be made, this fact was too small, so it was natural not to waste time on it, so he became a little impatient.

Said: "That's all right, I'll ask three times, count from one to three, if you agree, nod your head, if you disagree, shake your head. Okay, I'll start, three! That's it, you didn't nod."

Shi Youyi raised her head in astonishment, and said in a low voice, "Why do you just say three...and, and..."

Gao Wen: "You didn't shake your head. If you didn't nod or shake your head, that means you acquiesced. Okay, after a while, I'll call a matchmaker. Three matchmakers and six hires will marry you, and I will give you an upright wedding."

"Mother!" Shi Youyi threw herself into Mother Gao's arms and cried again.

"Don't cry." Gao Wen frowned, and said louder: "Get down to business."

"Yes." Shi Youyi just came behind Gao's mother again, her eyebrows lowered and her eyes pleasing, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.However, from time to time, he secretly glanced at Gao Wen, and then lowered his head in panic with a blushing face.Thinking about it, I agreed in my heart.

Gao Wen: "Mother, let's talk about the 4000 taels of silver."

Gao's mother: "This is the dowry that the Shi family asked for, isn't it too much? Besides, Master Shi Lin Sheng Shi doesn't recognize this daughter anymore."

Gao Wen: "No, although the money was given to Master Shi, it has other uses. My son wants to ask my mother about it. This matter is of great importance. Mother, you should think clearly about it and answer it."

Seeing her son's serious face, Mother Gao nodded, "Speak, Wen'er."

Gao Wen: "My Gao family moved to Hancheng from my grandfather's generation. Do you have any relatives in Zhuanglang's hometown in Pingliang Prefecture? Is our land deed in our hometown still there?"

Gao's mother shook her head: "Mother heard from your grandfather before that he is the only child in the family and has no relatives in his hometown. The land deed is still there, but it is just a piece of waste paper. I will find it for you later."

"Okay, it's good to have a land deed." According to the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to move your household registration back to your original place, your grandfather must have [-] acres of land in your original place. Gao Wen asked again: "When I was in my hometown, the same village Is your person still around?"

"There is no such thing as people from the same village. Your grandfather was considered a wealthy family in his hometown back then, and the entire village belonged to our family. There are only our Gao family in the village, and the rest are hired tenants. After the disaster, the tenants all After leaving, the Gao family also fled to Hancheng."

Gao Wen: "Mother, have you heard that my grandfather fled to Pingliang Mansion from other places, or even other provinces?"

Gao's mother was stunned: "No day, your grandfather said it before, who knows what happened decades ago? We are a small family, with only three generations, a small population, and no genealogy to check."

"That's good, that's good!" Gao Wen clapped his fists: "Mother, let me ask you. If my son can be changed back to a good status, do you think it's good?"
