Chapter 287 288. Selection
These people became quiet, but their eyes were still fixed on Xu Nuo, hoping that she would change her mind.
"Since the person has been chosen, I'll leave first." Xu Nuo felt particularly uncomfortable standing here.
She also felt a little guilty for letting so many people stand here and choose for her.
"Okay, you go first. Your mother and I will pick an auspicious day." Thinking of the matchmaker gift that she was about to get, the matchmaker's eyes narrowed with smile.
After Xu Nuo left, Lao Matchmaker took out a few red envelopes and said, "This is fate, don't worry about it. I'll use this to buy you some food."
When it was Gu Lehuan's turn, the old matchmaker stuffed the remaining red envelope into her arms and said, "As for the boy from the Gu family, don't leave for a moment. I will follow you to your home to discuss the betrothal gift!"
You have found a treasure, you know, many people in these streets want to marry Miss Xu, if they were not reluctant to give up their family business, you would not be the one to marry her. "
Gu Lehuan lowered his head, thinking in his heart, is this my fate?
As soon as the matchmaker came in, Wang Caiyue jumped up immediately, "Aunt Lao, you're here."
"Congratulations, congratulations," the matchmaker said. Wang Caiyue looked at her son with a complicated expression. He was chosen.
"I came here today not only to congratulate you, but also to discuss some things with you.
This matchmaker Xu is looking for a son-in-law to live with her, and then he will set up his own household.
She doesn't want her son-in-law to be too involved with her family in the future, so she will compensate you with some money in one lump sum.
In the future, if the child is willing to be filial, he can give gifts to relatives during festivals and she will not interfere with these things.
But I also hope that you will not go to their house to disturb them in the future. You can’t go to them to ask for money and property in various ways. All of this must be written in the marriage certificate.”
Wang Caiyue still felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but these things had already been said before.
"How much money will be given?" This is what she is most concerned about now. If she doesn't find money, the family will really go hungry.
The matchmaker gestured. "Three hundred taels of silver. I can tell you, this is a lot. If you don't believe me, go out and ask around. Others who have found a son-in-law before didn't give so much.
Even if you give a betrothal gift to marry a wife, others still have to give back a dowry, so you guys are making a profit."
Wang Caiyue glanced at her eldest son with concern, "I wonder if one of our children will have the Le family name in the future?"
"That's impossible," the matchmaker rejected it outright, "the government will keep records of these things, so they can only be recorded with the woman's surname.
You guys have to think this through carefully. I'll give you a betrothal gift, but you can't regret it."
Wang Caiyue gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay!"
The light in Gu Lehuan's eyes faded, and he knew that the matter was settled.

Jin Qianqian was not idle while waiting for Gu Wenheng.
He goes back and forth between the four stores every day. The business of the two stores that Hu Dong opened before has been very stable.
The shopkeepers here were all selected from the first batch of servants bought by Gu Wenheng.
Looking through the old account books, I found that although there were one or two calculation errors, there were no major problems with the rest.
It seems that these people all know that Hu Dong is an actuary and dare not make a fuss about it.
After checking the goods again, I found that the storage and stock were quite sufficient. Even the quantity they shipped this time might not be enough.
"Madam, there's a commotion outside." Qinglan ran in. "The shopkeeper has already reported it to the police. I want to ask you if you want to leave through the back door first?"
Jin Qianqian, "Don't worry, let's see what happens first."
As he spoke, he slowly moved to the wall closest to the shop in front, and at this time the sounds from outside also came in.
"Look, my face is covered with red pimples because I used what you call soap." The sarcastic voice made Jin Qianqian couldn't help but pick her ears.
"Ma'am, I don't know when you purchased it. I'll help you check the records." Shopkeeper Liu said gently.
"What are you investigating? You're the only one selling this soap, and I haven't used anything else in this period of time. If it's not your problem, then what's the problem?
You are profiteers, selling this poisonous stuff. What do you think we should do now?"
Manager Liu called over two shop assistants and said, "Go to the pharmacy in front and ask the doctor to come over. Go to the government office and ask the official to come over. We can't make the decision on this matter. Everything is up to the official."
The woman covered her face and stood in front of them, "What's wrong? You are the bad guys who are the first to complain and want to report to the police first. This is obviously your problem. Come with me and deal with it quickly."
Shopkeeper Liu smiled. He had been well-trained to be the shopkeeper here. He had seen many kinds of challenges countless times. In a situation like this, they could handle it easily.
"I think the scars on your face are quite serious. If they are not treated properly, you may be disfigured. I have asked someone to call a doctor. I only want to prescribe the right medicine for your condition."
"How can you talk like that, boss? Am I sick? I just hurt my face because I used your soap. Hurry up and find someone to talk to about it." The woman still refused to give in.
Shopkeeper Liu raised his hand, and the other two waiters who were far away immediately ran out. The woman couldn't stop them even if she wanted to.
"Don't worry, as long as you buy from us, we have records. This batch of goods comes from the same furnace, so there is no question of who is good and who is bad.
If something really goes wrong, our store will definitely take responsibility.
But you may not know that our soap is also a tribute to the palace. The nobles in the palace are using it. Our boss doesn't dare to play with his life and property."
Seeing that the woman's eyes were a little evasive, Manager Liu was even more confident, "Can you tell me now the exact time you bought the item? If you really can't remember, you can just tell me an approximate date.
Just tell us the name of the buyer and we can find it here.”
A customer nearby said, "We have always used the soap from their store and there has never been a problem. Look at the pile of numbered soaps in the corner. They keep one piece for every batch that comes in. If there is a problem, it's not just your problem.
Tell the shopkeeper immediately to find out which batch of goods it is from, so that everyone can be prepared."
"That's right, why don't you tell me quickly? I've been buying them every day these days, and I'm getting a little flustered because of you."
The woman looked around but refused to say, "How can I remember so much? I'm so busy every day."
"There must be a name, right? As long as you can say the name, we can definitely find it." Someone helped to give advice.
The woman continued, "I seem to remember that the waiter that day was illiterate and did not take any notes."
