Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1922

Let alone Guo Ye's sworn brother, even if it was Guo Ye's bodyguard, Qin Ying, Wu Yuanqing would not dare to offend easily!

He hurriedly helped Qin Ying and others up, and then said to Guo Ye: "So you are really Qin Guogong's sworn brother, you are really disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Guo Ye said: "Then I hope my uncle will make it easier for me to marry my sister!"

"Uh... this question..." Wu Yuanqing said embarrassingly: "You see, we have spread this post, so we can't tell everyone the candidate and make a default decision, right? I think even if Qin Guogong came in person, he wouldn't be offended. Are there many people?"

Seeing Guo Ye's complexion, Wu Yuanqing hastily added: "However, I will provide you with convenience, and try to make you embrace the beauty. It is also an honor for our Duke Ying's mansion to be married to Duke Qin's brother."

"Okay, lead the way! I'm putting my words here. If I don't give Guo Dabao face, I don't give my elder brother face! I want to see who has such courage in Chang'an City!"

"Please come inside!"

After Guo Ye made such a fuss at the door, the number of competitors was reduced by more than half.

After all, if Wu Meiniang hadn't been a virgin and had a heart of her own, she would be much less attractive to everyone.

Furthermore, nowadays, who doesn't know that Qin Guogong is the illegitimate son of His Majesty, and the military and political power in Chang'an is gathered in one body, so he is likely to ascend to the throne?Is it worth it to offend Qin Guogong's sworn brother for a woman?

Guo Ye followed Wu Yuanqing into the living room, and after waiting for less than an hour, the guests were basically all present.

Wu Yuanqing greeted everyone and brought everyone into a courtyard.I saw the floor paved with red carpet, the walls surrounded by yellow satin, the delicacies had already been arranged, and the angry lanterns were hung all over the place, illuminating the whole courtyard as if it were daytime.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Wu Yuanqing stood up and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, everyone came here after receiving invitations from my Wu family, and they must have known the purpose of today's banquet. Yes, it is to find a good husband for my sister. "

"However, there are too many young talents here today, it's really confusing. So, I'm going to come up with a question to test everyone's sincerity to my sister!"

The person with good deeds said: "What's the problem?"

Wu Yuanqing smiled slightly and said, "The sincerity is of course the amount of the dowry!"

Chapter 1773 The Highest Price Wins (1)

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

Although everyone had heard some rumors beforehand, they never expected that Wu Yuanqing would be so shameless that he would state this condition so nakedly.

Whoever pays the most dowry gifts will be satisfied with sincerity.In other words, isn't it the one with the highest price?

Is Ying Guogong's mansion marrying a daughter or selling a daughter?

Guo Ye's face sank, and he said loudly: "Wu Yuanqing, this topic is not suitable, right? How can the amount of dowry be related to sincerity? Are you picking a son-in-law or a buyer? Are you doing this? , can you be worthy of the spirit of the old Ying Guogong warrior Xun?"

"Then according to what you mean... what kind of topic can you see the sincerity of the distinguished people? Competing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or poetry and poetry? Or writing a few policy discussions"

"Sincerity comes from the heart, how can it be seen through the competition?"

"Hey, you are making things difficult for me. If you don't pass the competition, how can you tell it by just looking at it? There is a saying that it is difficult to draw a dragon or a tiger. Knowing people and faces without knowing the heart, I, Wu Yuanqing, don't have that ability."

Guo Ye said angrily: "Could it be that because you don't see sincerity, you have to compare money with money? You are making unreasonable words!"

Wu Yuanqing said unhurriedly, "Brother Guo, please be calm and don't be impatient, and listen to me slowly."

Then he cupped his hands in all directions, and said: "Everyone, there must be many people, like this brother Guo, who don't take this topic seriously from Mr. Wu, thinking that I, Wu Yuanqing, have fallen into the eyes of money, and only recognize money but not money." People. However, Wu has his own reasons for Wu!"

Someone said: "What's the truth? Say it! Say it!"

"The people who came today all came here after receiving invitations from our Wu family. In other words, everyone is favored by our Wu family. If my sister marries anyone, it will not be regarded as humiliating her."

He paused for a moment, and continued: "The amount of dowry we use to determine our sincerity is limited to the gentlemen who have accepted the invitation. It is not just a cat or a dog who can take my sister away just because of money." of."

Wu Yuanshuang added: "In other words, those who can participate in this banquet today have no problem with their character. On this basis, let's look at money. Everyone said, is there any reason for our Wu family to do this?"

Guo Ye sneered and said, "Let your tongue shine like a lotus flower, after all, isn't the one with the most money the winner?"

Wu Yuanqing said: "Brother Guo, it is unreasonable for you to say that. A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. It can not only find a good husband for my sister, but also get a lot of money. Such a best of both worlds, our Wu family Why not?"

Wu Yuanshuang also said: "Is it right for you to marry my sister to someone who is reluctant to give money? Oh, I understand. Are you too shy to afford money? Humph , you don’t have money, what kind of garlic do you pretend to be!”

Obviously, they had already prepared for these remarks.

At this moment, one of the brothers from the Wu family is playing red face and the other is playing bad face.After singing and drinking, Guo Ye was really speechless.

In the end, Guo Ye had no choice but to say: "Joke, I am the sworn brother of Duke Qin, how can I have no money? Just comparing money alone does not show Guo's means. But since the two uncles insist, then do as you said willing!"

Wu Yuanqing said to the others: "Anyone else have any opinions?"

Most people think that if you have an opinion, you can’t raise it. Whoever raises it can’t be called a big clove without money!

Of course, there were also people who had been arranged by the Wu Brothers below, and they all said loudly: "I have no objection!"

"This way is good!"

"That's it!"

Guo Ye also sarcastically said: "Ying Guogong's mansion was the first to open up a generation of ethos, and what happened today will definitely become a good story!"

Wu Yuanqing didn't want to make a fuss, pretended not to understand the meaning of Guo Ye's words, and said: "Thank you for your support, then let's start now. The minimum dowry is [-] guan, is there any higher bid?"

Immediately someone said: "I will pay [-] guan!"

"Thirty thousand pens!"

"Thirty-five thousand guns!"

……

The price calls came one after another, and the price tag also went up.In the end, no one continued to bid until it reached [-] strings.

In Pingkang Lane, there is a little famous beautiful girl who has less than a thousand coins to redeem her body.No matter how beautiful Wu Meiniang is, it is impossible for her to be worth a hundred times that of Meijiao Niang.A large part of the [-] coins is the bonus of her status as the Duke's daughter.

The last bidder was a young son. Guo Ye had some impression of him. His surname was Sun and his name was Yuan Bai, and he was the son of a wealthy merchant.Their family is also a big customer of Changlefang Bank.

Seeing that there was no one bidding, Sun Yuanbai couldn't help but feel a little overjoyed. He cupped his hands and said, "At first, I thought the bid would be around 15 guan. Every time I think of how everyone has given our Sun family face, I admit it! I've accepted it!"

These words are obviously modest, but the implication is that they are extremely arrogant-you poor people, you have not done your best, and you all kneel down to me!It's boring, it's really boring!

The people who came here today are either rich or expensive, it's not that they can't afford the money, they just think that Wu Meiniang is not worth so much money.Seeing this kid being so arrogant, I felt resentful in my heart.

However, everyone is a smart person, knowing that if they refute at this time, it will only make Sun Yuanbai more proud.At this moment, the best way is to take out more money and slap him in the face severely.

Of course, it is reluctant to pay for it yourself.

Ever since, all eyes were focused on Guo Dabao, who was rumored to be married to Wu Meiniang for life.

For a time, Guo Ye became the person everyone expected.
