The matchmaker also knew that the Gu family was not a poor family but a family of scholars, so he would definitely look at the family background of his future husband.

The matchmaker said with a smile: "This young master of the Han family is a wealthy family in our county. His family is in business, and many shops in the county are owned by them. They even have a lot of land. This young master of the Han family is really good-looking, and even his embroidery skills are very good. The Han family has spent a lot of money to train him. Moreover, this young master of the Han family had met Madam Gu outside before, so he fell in love with Madam Gu at first sight. That's why the doctor of the Han family sent me to ask her about it."

When Father Gu heard that the couple was from a merchant family, he said, "He is the son of a merchant. My A-Yao is a scholar and will take the provincial examination this year. If he passes, he will be a juren. If Sanfu marries a merchant's son, people will laugh at him."

The matchmaker wanted to make this marriage happen. If he succeeded, he would get a lot of money and even his reputation would be enhanced.

"Oh, Mr. Gu, you are thinking the wrong way. When the young master of the Han family marries into the Gu family, he will bring a lot of dowry. Even Mr. Han said that he would give a dowry to the young master of the Gu family. This is a lot of money. I also know that the Gu family is a family of scholars, but scholars cannot be short of money. Even in the future, they will have to continue to take imperial examinations, which also costs money. As long as he marries, Mrs. Gu's life will be better. So I think this marriage is still good. At least Mrs. Gu will no longer have to be short of money in the future. If he has a few more children, it will be a good thing for both families."

When Mr. Gu heard this, he felt a little excited. After all, although his family was not short of money, he also knew that the imperial examination was expensive.

It was even because they didn't have enough money that his daughter was always worried about family matters, thinking that if Young Master Han really married into the family as the matchmaker said, wouldn't it be a great help for his daughter?

However, he is not too snobbish and still cares about A Yao's reputation.

Father Gu frowned at the matchmaker and said, "I don't know if the young master of the Han family has a portrait. I want my head of the family to take a look and then discuss it with him if it's possible. But I still have to ask my A Yao's opinion on this matter. After all, they will be the ones living in the future."

When the matchmaker heard this, he was even happier and quickly pulled out a portrait and said with a smile: "This is the portrait of the young master of the Han family. Don't worry, Mr. Gu. He definitely looks good enough to match the eldest lady of the Gu family. She will definitely like him."

Father Gu opened the portrait and took a look at it, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. This young master of the Gu family was indeed good-looking, and very much in line with the aesthetic of that era.

But he couldn't show it, and said indifferently: "In that case, then go back and wait for news. I will invite you to my house after my head of the family agrees."

The matchmaker looked at Gu's father and felt uncertain, so he stood up and said with a smile: "I will go back first, Mr. Taifu, please tell me immediately if you have any news."

Gu's father asked the servants to send him back and even gave him some money, which made him very happy.

I didn't expect the Gu family to be so generous. They gave him some money before the deal was done. It seems that he must do this business well.

Father Gu looked at the portrait and waited for Mother Gu to come back. Mother Gu went to the farm today to supervise others' work and would probably not be back until the afternoon.

In fact, he was quite anxious and didn't know how to find a third husband for Gu Yao.

Otherwise, if Sanfulang still hasn't made it in next year, he will probably be fined or even punished.

Father Gu told this to Xiao Gu and asked: "What do you think? If possible, let's go to the Han Mansion to propose marriage. The Han family is a wealthy family, and the dowry will probably be quite a lot. Although our Gu family will not be concerned about the husband's dowry, his dowry will be for his and A Yao's child. And I heard from the matchmaker that he is quite good and good-looking. Although his status is a little low, he can be A Yao's husband overall."

Gu's father was not really too powerful. In fact, he knew very well that although their Gu family had produced Gu Yao, a golden phoenix, they were still a small family after all. Although the Han family was a merchant family, it was still possible for him to be a third husband.

Little Gu looked at her father and said, "Brother, although he is good-looking, he is just a merchant. If others knew about this, they would laugh at our family."

He felt that based on Gu Yao's achievements and character, it would be nice for her to marry a man from a scholarly family.

After listening to what little Gu said, Gu's father also felt that it seemed right: "Why don't we wait for the head of the family to come back and ask her. After all, A Yao's third husband has to ask her and the head of the family for their opinions."

Little Gu nodded and said, "When the head of the household comes back, we will tell her that she is A-Yao's biological mother and loves her dearly."

When Gu's mother came back and looked at it, she said, "Let's decide on it."

When Xiao Gu heard this, she quickly said, "Boss. But he is a merchant, isn't that too undignified?"

Mother Gu sighed, "You should know that A Yao's two husbands' families are still very poor. If you marry someone from a scholar's family, wouldn't it suppress them? Although he is a merchant, he is educated after all. Moreover, our family is so poor, there is no need to marry someone from a rich family. If you do that, your sister will not be able to live well at home, and even A Yao will be suppressed by that person. So it is better to marry someone from the Han family."

Mother Gu increasingly felt that this marriage was a good thing, and she also knew the Han family well. Although the family was not very rich, at least they were literate, and they had a high status for A Yao's two husbands.

Father Gu always listened to Mother Gu. After hearing what she said, he thought for a while and said, "Why don't we tell her about this after Yao comes back? We have to make her willing. Otherwise, she will feel uncomfortable."

Gu Yao is his daughter, and he always wants to make his daughter feel comfortable.

"I'll tell her when she comes back, but you should tell Wulang and the others about this so that they can have some idea of ​​what's going on."

Now that the two sons-in-law in the family already have children, they can have peace of mind. This will not make them anxious, and it is also good for the children.

Lin Wulang and the others felt a little sad when they heard the news.

Although I already knew that Gu Yao would marry a third husband, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and he seemed to be from a wealthy family.

Although we know that the merchant has a poor family background and is looked down upon by outsiders, the dowry is still a lot after all.

They had no dowry when they married into the Gu family. It was already good enough to have a few wooden boxes, a few sets of clothes and a few quilts. When they thought that the future third husband would bring a large dowry, Lin Wulang and his family felt very sad.
