Chapter 202 Gu Yao Agrees to Marriage
"Big Daddy, I'll just listen to you and Mom on this matter. I know you won't hurt me anyway."
Although Gu Xing wanted to marry Lin Ye before, he just thought she was a good girl.
I no longer have that kind of thought now, so I think as long as I treat him well and my family background is similar to his, that's enough.
Now the Changning Marquis Mansion has also come to propose marriage, but he has never thought about it.
After all, they are not a good match. He is just the second son of a fourth-rank family. How could he have the ability to marry into a marquis's family?
Even if he married into the family, he probably wouldn't have a good life. After all, the wealthy and powerful families were all flattering and bullying the weak, and were very snobbish. He didn't think he could gain a foothold in the mansion with his own abilities.
Lin Wulang was relieved to see Gu Xing so clear-headed, although he had also thought about marrying him into the Marquis's Mansion.
But people must be clear-headed. Although they have come to propose marriage, we still need to investigate thoroughly.
"Don't worry, if the Changning Marquis's Mansion is indeed reliable, Daddy will naturally make the decision for you, but it still depends on your mother's opinion."
Gu Xing looked at him and said, "Big Daddy, why would the Changning Marquisate want to marry me? After all, although my mother is a fourth-rank official, there are so many fourth-rank officials, not to mention that their family is not a second- or third-rank official. Even if a second-rank official marries into the family, it would be considered marrying up."
Anyway, for Gu Xing, it doesn't matter who he marries, as long as he doesn't embarrass him. He believes that with his own abilities, he can live well wherever he goes.
Lin Wulang understood after seeing Gu Xing's expression. In fact, he felt that if she could marry into the Marquis' Mansion, it would be a good thing for their entire Gu family.
It means that their Gu family also has a relative in a marquisate, and even other children can move up to a higher level if they arrange marriages properly.
Even if they had no intention of currying favor with the powerful, it was the Marquis's mansion that came to them to propose marriage, and they felt excited just thinking about it.
It was a good thing that Gu Xing was not allowed to marry Lin Ye in the first place, otherwise there would be no chance for the Marquis' Mansion to come and propose marriage.
Even if it doesn't work out in the future, having this marquis's mansion come to propose marriage will make people in the capital look up to their Gu family.
A few days later, Gu Xiaoshu came to Gu Yao with information about Changning Marquis Mansion.
"Madam, this is the news from the Marquis' Mansion. Speaking of it, Changning Marquis' Mansion is not bad. Although it is a Marquis' Mansion, there are very few cases of bullying men and women and harming the people. Moreover, since the officials in their family are not high-ranking, although there are some filthiness in the mansion, at least it is still acceptable. The third lady of the Marquis' Mansion is okay in studying, but because of her poor foundation, she did not rank in this spring examination. But I think if I work hard for another three years, I will be able to do well."
After reading the information, Gu Yao had a pretty good impression of Changning Marquis Mansion.
At least it's not that bad in there, but because they have many children and it's a marquis's mansion, it's really hard for them to earn a fortune.
But for her, the matter of family property was still acceptable, at least no one was killed in the Marquis' Mansion.
Gu Xiaoshu said: "Madam, if that's the case, do you agree with the relationship between the Third Young Master and Madam Dai San?"
"I think it's not bad. At least the people in the Marquis' Mansion are normal. And although Miss Dai San is only a juren, as long as she has talent, she can still be a good candidate."
Gu Yao thought for a moment and sighed, "I'll discuss this with the doctor later."
Gu Yao picked up the information and went to Lin Wulang's yard, handed it to him and said, "Take a look, this is the news from Changning Marquis Mansion, what do you think?"
Lin Wulang picked it up and the more he looked at it, the happier he became. He said excitedly, "My dear wife, this marriage can still be done. Moreover, the Changning Marquis' Mansion is so sincere. We must not let them down. Anyway, the people in the Marquis' Mansion seem nice. Our Xing'er can still live a good life if she marries there."
"Although the investigation is okay, Xing'er still has to live on his own in the future. If the Marquis's Mansion looks down on him, he will be very sad in the mansion."
You should love your own child, and Gu Yao doesn't want her son to be bullied.
She didn't think the Marquis' Mansion was anything special, after all, few people in the Marquis' Mansion were talented. Most of them were just living off their old capital.
In fact, if the Third Lady of the Marquis' Mansion didn't look okay, she would have refused without hesitation.
"No, our Xing'er is so powerful, and we have you, and A Ping and the others, who will definitely support Xing'er. When the time comes, we will prepare more dowry for Xing'er. For the sake of our Gu Mansion and our family, the Hou Mansion will not dare to be too harsh on Xing'er."
Seeing Gu Yao still worried, he added: "Wife, in fact, men marrying people are the same. No matter how good-looking you are, who knows? Being a husband always has to endure. What's more, our Gu family is already very good. Xing'er can live well in the Marquis' Mansion with the help of the Gu family. What's more, she is marrying the third daughter, and the family will definitely be divided in the future. Wouldn't it be good for them to be the masters of the family at that time?"
Lin Wulang tried to persuade her, hoping that Gu Yao would agree, as this was a rare and good marriage.
If I give up this, will I be able to meet someone like the Marquis' Mansion again in the future?
Gu Yao thought for a moment and nodded: "You are right, the Marquis' Mansion is quite reliable, and although there are some dirty things in it, it is acceptable."
"In that case, let's agree to it. You are right. As long as the third daughter of the Marquis' Mansion is reliable, it will be a good marriage for Xing'er."
Hearing that Gu Yao finally gave in, Lin Wulang was very happy, with a bright smile on his face, and said, "Then I will immediately tell Xing'er to get ready. We are going to get engaged to the Hou family, and Xing'er will have a good life in the future."
Gu Yao thought about it and said, "Oh, right. I will find a young man from the palace to teach Xing'er the rules of the nobles in a few days. After all, we only accept the rules of scholars. But the Changning Marquis' Mansion is different. We can't let others laugh at Xing'er."
When Lin Wulang heard this, he said quickly: "My wife, you are right. I will trouble you now. This is a big deal. You must find a good man for Xing'er. We don't want a bad one."
Gu Xing was delighted when he heard Lin Wulang's words: "So mother agreed. I thought she wouldn't agree."
Lin Wulang sat beside him and said with a smile: "Your mother didn't agree at first because she was afraid that the Marquis' Mansion was unreliable. After all, our family doesn't need you to marry into a high-ranking family. As long as you can be happy, your mother still sent Xiaoshu to investigate. Unexpectedly, the Marquis' Mansion is not bad, but Xing'er, we don't know what's inside. If you get wronged after you get married, you must tell your family. We are your backers, and you don't need to endure it. After all, our Gu family is also a fourth-rank official residence, and there are not many high-ranking officials in the Marquis' Mansion. For your mother's sake, they will treat you well."
Gu Xing nodded: "I know, don't worry, Daddy, I will be fine."
