Chapter 269 Catch the Current
The old lady casually said a few words and asked everyone to go back to the courtyard.
Aunt Shen was busy collecting money for her baby son. Ding Yizi went back bored and continued to settle the fetus, while the old lady was busy giving a bride price to Gu's house! Simply cut and play later. At that time, people will be brought into Hao's mansion. The whole city knows that Gu Yun has married Hao Ling as his wife. Can Hao Ling continue to refuse?
Humph... Since he finds all kinds of reasons, she will give him a reason that he can't refuse!
This matter is of great importance. It is not easy for the old lady to do it in person, and she can only find her own confidant to handle it. After choosing, Aunt Wan became the most suitable candidate.
Wan Niang also lived up to her expectations and took the initiative to accept this matter.
Since she suffered a big loss in Xingguo Temple last time, her temperament has changed greatly, and she has almost lost all her hopes for Haofu. She can't even have a child. What else can she expect from Haofu? The only hope is that it would be best if someone could help her retire in the future, so that her old age would not be too miserable.
And now, with a great opportunity in front of her, what reason does she not hold on? As long as Gu Yun successfully enters Hao's mansion, successfully becomes a good relationship with Hao Ling for a hundred years, and becomes the mistress of Hao's mansion smoothly in the future, does she still need to worry about her in her old age?
Wan Niang respectfully squatted slightly in front of the old lady and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the old lady, I will definitely do this properly and won't let the old lady worry about it."
After so many years, the old lady has also been aware of Wan Niang's ability to do things. Besides, this matter is not complicated. It's just that she went to Gufu as a representative to propose marriage. It's very simple.
"Well, go early and go back early. Yun'er will also go back with you this time. It's not too late to come back when it's done."
Gu Yun was very happy to hear that the old lady asked Aunt Wan to go to Gu's house to propose marriage. At this moment, she was very happy and promised to review the house with Aunt Wan first. Anyway, once the marriage is settled, after the marriage, Hao Fu will stay as long as she wants. Why should she be in a hurry now?
Gu Yun was happy in her heart, and her expression was relaxed. Her eyes were shining, which made her eyebrows more and more picturesque, and her skin was like gel.
The more the old lady looked at it, the happier she became. She wished she had such a granddaughter.
When it comes to her granddaughter, the old lady suddenly remembered the marriage between Hao Lingzhu and Xu's mansion. The last time Xu Jie returned to the capital from Taihe County, the master and wife of the Xu family also sent people to reply, saying that Xu Jie was very satisfied with the young lady of Hao's mansion and was also involved in marriage. However, since the last message, there has been no news again, and no one has mentioned the marriage.
The old lady couldn't help worrying. Hao Lingzhu has reached the age of marriage. If there is no news from Xu Fu, it's time for her to help Hao Lingzhu go to see the people's house next to her. Hao Lingzhu is dignified and elegant, and she is the eldest daughter of Hao's family. This husband also needs to choose carefully.
After thinking about it for a while, the old lady decided to send someone to the capital first to send a message, and let the wife of the second wife of the Hao family go to explore the style of Xu's house first, and then make a decision.
The old lady picked her own people again, and finally chose an old mother who had been serving her for more than ten years and asked her to send a message to the capital.
Almost all the things that should be done have been arranged. The old lady was very happy. She sent someone to tell Aunt Shen that if she was okay, she would simply accompany her to Xingguo Temple again, so that she could worship a Bodhisattva again and bless everything.
Aunt Shen was upset. Hearing the old lady say that she was going to burn incense in the temple, she couldn't wait to go there together, so that she could pray in front of the Bodhisattva and bless Hao Yu's things to be smoother. She earned all the money as soon as possible, so she hurriedly responded.
The time was arranged on the morning of the next day. Aunt Shen made a little arrangement for the things in the house and rushed to Xingguo Temple with the old lady. Ding Yizi didn't go with them on the pretext that he was not feeling well.
When the old lady and Aunt Shen came back from the temple in the afternoon, Aunt Wan had also returned from the Gu family and brought back the meaning of the Gu family. Earlier, the old lady had hinted to the Gu family that she meant, so the Gu family also knew that their daughter would marry Hao's house in the future. Now that Aunt Wan was ordered by the old lady to propose marriage, does the Gu family have any reason not to agree? He responded in a hurry and asked Aunt Wan to come back and tell the old lady that everything went according to the rules, just let the matchmaker propose marriage.
When Aunt Wan came back and told the meaning of the Gu family, the old lady was even more happy. She hurriedly ordered again, "Wanniang, then you can go out to show me tomorrow morning and find a more reliable matchmaker to deal with this matter as soon as possible. I can rest assured earlier."
Wan Niang hurriedly agreed.
But Hao Yu said that if he didn't continue to throw money in it to meet those friends, Hao Ling may not be able to find those people. Since he found that Hao Yu had embezzled 80,000 taels of silver, Hao Ling quietly sent someone to follow Hao Yu and monitor his every move to see what kind of people he usually came into contact with.
Aunt Shen's dowry is expensive. In addition, she has also made a lot of private money in Hao's house for the past ten years. Except for some things that are inconvenient to be exchanged for silver immediately, everything else has almost been poured out.
How can such a big movement be hidden from everyone? Hao Ling also got the news quickly.
Anyone with a little brain can guess that Aunt Shen's sudden collection of such a large amount of money must have something to do with Hao Yu. I just don't know whether she continues to toss around for Hao Yu or wants Hao Yu to make up for the void of loss.
In a flash of time, two days passed. After continuous tracking, Hao Ling finally found that Hao Yu and the group of people gathered. Even if they rushed in without hesitation, among the people he brought in, there were no shortage of officers and soldiers!
When Hao Ling rushed into the room of the restaurant, he saw Hao Yu like dementia and listened to the five people fooling him. And the delicacies gathered on the wine table, and there were two jars of good wine for more than a hundred years.
The five people suddenly saw a large number of people and officers and soldiers rushing in. Suddenly, they panicked and were busy to escape one by one.
Hao Ling had already made preparations when he came in. Is there still a place for them to escape? All five of them were immediately arrested, and none of them could run away.
Hao Yu looked at Hao Ling in shock and asked angrily, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Hao Ling put his hands behind him, frowned and looked at Hao Yu unhung uncompassedly. He said in a low voice, "Hao Yu, let's talk about this when we go back!"
Seeing that his friend is going to be kidnapped and his way to get rich will be cut off, how can Hao Yu agree? He rushed forward and stood in front of the officers and soldiers, "What are you going to do? These people are all my friends. Is there any royal law in the world? How can you arrest people randomly?"
Before Hao Ling could speak, the catcher of the government office came forward and said, "Second young master, these five people are wanted criminals. Over the years, many people have been defrauded all over the country. We have finally got the exact news. This time we are going to catch these five people! Let them never harm the world again!"
Hao Yu was stunned and couldn't believe what the catcher said at all, "Frauder?"
Zhang catcher nodded, "That's right, and he has been in various states and counties for many years."
"Aren't they businessmen engaged in maritime business?" Hao Yu still couldn't believe that it was a scam, and still stubbornly asked.
Zhang Catcher was a little impatient with Hao Yu's question. Really, are the young masters of rich families all idiots? He has made it very clear that these five people are recidivists. Why did the second young master of Haofu still chase him and ask?
Helpless, no matter how impatient he is, he has to pretend to be patient, otherwise, I'm afraid that he, the catcher, will do it.
Zhang Catcher said with a reluctant smile and said, "Second young master, these people are just liars. They don't do anything all day. They know how to cheat, eat and drink, and can't do anything else. They may not even see the sea, let alone do any sea business."
Hao Yu's eyes stared at him so much that he was about to catch up with the pigeon's egg. He looked at one of them in shock and disbelief. He rushed up, clutched the man's collar tightly with his hands, and asked in a hateful voice, "Brother Tu, aren't you doing sea business? Tell me! You are in the sea business! What about our goods?
At present, officers and soldiers, how can Tu Xiongwei dare to make up words to deceive Hao Yu? Isn't it obvious that you have dug a hole for yourself?
He smiled at Hao Yu and bowed his head and said apologetically, "Second young master, second young master, I'm really sorry. Our brothers did do maritime trade business a few years ago, and they did make a lot of money. None of what I said to you is false. However, later, the ship encountered a strong storm at sea. The whole ship fell off, all the goods fell to the bottom of the sea, and all the money was lost. Our brothers finally picked up their lives. Second young master, in terms of our friendship these days, you can pull our brothers again and get us out of prison. I promise, I really promise that I will definitely pull back another batch of goods from overseas. At that time, we can still make a fortune!"
Hao Yu was stunned when he heard it. It seemed that he still had to believe in the meaning of Tu's majesty. Zhang catcher could no longer hear it anymore. He slapped Tu's majestic big mouths and said viciously, "Open a brothel in front of the monk's temple. Are you tired of living?"
Zhang's palm strength was amazing. These big mouths were thrown down, and Tu Xiongwei's face had been swollen for a long time. He couldn't even speak for a while, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
Hao Ling slapped Hao Yu on the shoulder, restrained his action, and then said to Zhang, "Captain Zhang, these people will be taken back to you. There is no need to interrogate carefully!"
