She wanted Gu Yun and the others to secretly watch Zheng Hongqiu and the others. In fact, the first impression is very important. As long as they are not too disgusted and look similar, everyone should be satisfied.

Zheng Shuyi naturally knew what Gu Yao was doing, and she agreed with it and approved of it.

She also knew that she had to be nice to her two younger brothers, so she and Zheng Hongqiu and the others came to the Gu family's back garden.

Gu Yun and Gu Ying had already been waiting in the corner. Looking at the two men beside Gu Yao, they felt shy and their faces blushed.

They naturally knew that Gu Yao had already told them before, so the two of them were specifically looking at the future wife and her husband.

While listening to their conversation, Gu Yun and the others also had some ideas in their minds.

The two returned to the bedroom and sat in silence. Then Gu Ying couldn't help but say, "Brother, what do you think? Which one do you like? This is what my sister requested for us. If it were someone else, they would be married blindly, but we can meet our future wives in advance. I think the one in blue is pretty good."

"I think the apricot yellow one next to it looks better." Although Gu Yun is more outgoing than Gu Ying, he is still very shy when encountering such things.

But he also knew that this was their chance. Besides, those two ladies were born as scholars. They would definitely become juren in the future.

So in order not to waste her sister's kindness, she must choose carefully.

"We both like him, so let's tell my sister later."

Gu Yao already knew that her two younger brothers would definitely like them, after all, Zheng Hongqiu and the other two were really good-looking.

It's okay at home, although a little poor, but at least they can make ends meet. What's more, the two of them are also ambitious. At most, I can take care of them a little more, so that the Zheng family will not be too poor.

After sending Zheng Shuyi and the other three away, he came to Gu Yun's room and said to them, "How do you two see it? It's okay, right?"

Gu Yun stood up and bowed, blushing as he said, "Sister, they are both pretty good. We both like them. I like the apricot-yellow one, and Ah Xing likes the blue one. I'm sorry to bother you with this."

"Since you like it, let's proceed to the next step. Let dad take you to burn incense in a while. Zheng Shuyi and the others will also be there. Then you two can meet each other again. This way, your life will be a little easier."

If they like each other, then they will be in love and look forward to their married life.

Gu Yun and the others nodded immediately upon hearing this, and suddenly came back to their senses. They felt as if they were too open and embarrassed.

Gu Yao looked at their embarrassed expressions and left. Men are thin-skinned after all.

The two of them were willing to listen to her and meet Zheng Hongqiu first, which meant they were quite open-minded.

Father Gu also knew what Gu Yun and the others meant, so he told Xiao Gu and Lei.

They had met Zheng Hongqiu and the other two. They were very satisfied with them. After all, they were good-looking, had good family backgrounds, and were also well-educated and talented.

How could they not be satisfied? Their family was a little poor, but at least they were scholars and Gu Yao's friends. And they also believed that they would not harm the two children?

Zheng Hongqiu on Zheng Shuyi's side was worried: "Cousin, do you think the country is satisfied with the two of us?"

In fact, there was no need for them to think so. After all, they were both scholars, and any man could marry them.

It’s just that they really admire Gu Yao, so they want to become her relatives.

In this way, it would be possible for the two of them to get Gu Yao's attention.

"I think I am satisfied with you. Just rest assured. Don't you have confidence in yourself?"

Zheng Shuyi didn't expect that these two cousins ​​actually had some inferiority complex, which was funny. They were both scholars now, so they shouldn't be like this even if their family was poor.

Considering how much they both admire Gu Yao, it makes sense.

In fact, if her position had not been taken by someone else, she would probably have wanted her brother to marry Gu Yao.

However, after listening to Zheng Shuyi's words, the two of them regained their confidence, thinking that they were not ugly, were scholars, and their families should be willing to be with her given their salary.

After Zheng Hongqiu returned, she told her family the good news. Her mother and father had another quarrel, but today was a good day.

Zheng Hongqiu and his family's parents are quite open-minded, and they are also self-aware. Although the young master of the Gu family was born in southern Fujian, at least his sister is a woman. Now they have moved to the provincial capital and the family is rich, so they are willing to do so.

However, Gu Yao deliberately arranged for Zheng Hongqiu and Gu Yun to be together. When they met, they got along well and were willing to get together. Then, Zheng Hongqiu's two families sent Mei Lan to propose marriage.

Gu's mother naturally agreed, but she refused twice. She agreed the third time.

Little Gu took Gu Yun to do needlework together. They were engaged, so naturally they had to make wedding clothes.

You also have to make clothes for your future wife's family to show that you are capable.

Xiao Gushi shed tears while doing this: "You are going to get married in the future, and I don't know if we can see each other more often. I feel sad when I think you are leaving me."

He really couldn't bear to leave his child. When he thought about not being able to see her after getting married, he didn't know what to do.

Gu Yun stood up and hugged her and said, "Don't worry. Even if I get married, I will come back to see you. What's more, I am also married in the capital, and my future wife will also go to the capital for the imperial examination. We will always be together."

His father only had him as his son, so he couldn't accept him marrying far away.

It was quite painful for him to think about it. After all, he had lived in hardship in his own home for so many years, and he didn't know what to do when he suddenly had to go to a stranger's home.

Wiping her tears, the young Mrs. Gu said, "I just haven't gotten used to it yet. Let's do needlework first. After you become a good daughter-in-law, you will become a beautiful groom."

Xiao Gu knew that she couldn't cry, otherwise it would make her son feel bad again, and then she smiled.

The same thing happened over there, the Lei family had no daughters but only sons, so they couldn't accept their children getting married.

They also know that it is best for men to marry people, and both of them want to be husbands of others who are much better than them, so they should be happy.

The next day, I went to Gu's mother and saw their red and swollen eyes, and I knew they had cried.

"Don't worry, they both married into good families. And they are A-Yao's friends, so it will be very convenient for them to go back to her parents' home in the future. At worst, I can take you out for a walk more often, and you can also invite them to come along."

Father Gu also felt bad. Although Gu Yun and the others were not his or hers, he had watched them grow up and taken care of them, so what was the difference between that and having his own children?

Gu Yun was very sensible and cared for the adults. When they were poor, they helped with cooking and chores, and when they became rich, he made clothes for them, which really made him feel distressed.

Two days later, Gu Yao took advantage of her vacation to gather the whole family and said, "Mom, Dad came here today to discuss the dowries of my two younger brothers. I have already divided the dowries among them. Take a look."

Gu's father and the others knew that Gu Yao treated Gu Yun and the others very well, so the dowry would definitely be large.

Lin Wulang and the others had no objection. After all, this was earned by Gu Yao, and Gu's mother also worked hard for it. What's more, they were very good to Gu Yun and the others and liked them very much, so naturally they would not stop them.

Xiao Gu and her family were also looking forward to it. Although they knew that Gu Yao would not mistreat the two children, this was their son's future support, so they naturally wanted to know how much the dowry would be.

Mother Gu and Father Gu looked at each other and said, "We have no objection. In this case, this will be their dowry from now on."

"You two brothers, take a look at them, they are your children, and you should also take a look at these dowries.

The young Gu family was shocked when they saw it. They never expected that Gu Yun and his family would have such a large dowry. There were more than ten acres of farmland alone. There were even shops, houses, and some gold and silver jewelry.

In Gujia Village, when a man gets married, sometimes just a few sets of clothes are enough, and if there is even a quilt, it can be considered a very generous dowry.

"My dear wife, isn't this too much dowry? How about a little less? After all, they don't need so much."

Xiao Gu and her family were very worried. They were afraid that if they really gave the dowry, their family would be dissatisfied.

Gu Yao smiled and said, "My two little dads, these dowries are for them. After all, a man has more dowries than others. Besides, they are my brothers. I will not treat them unfairly. The dowries are just like this. They just need to stay at home and wait for their marriage."

Little Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Lei burst into tears. They didn't expect that Gu Yao would be so kind to the two children. They quickly asked Gu Yun and Gu Ying to kowtow to her.

"My two children, you must remember your sister's kindness to you and protect her wherever you go in the future."

Gu Yun and the others nodded immediately. Of course, she was their sister and they would protect her.

The Gu family is their backing. No matter where they marry in the future or how capable their wife is, her parents' home will always be their retreat.

Seeing how much dowry they had, they were very excited and grateful to Gu Yao and their families as well.

Looking at the dowry here, the two of them felt confident, especially after listening to Gu Yao's words.

They thought that even after they got married, they would go back to their parents' home more often and not let their family members down.

As time gets closer, two years have passed, and the relationship between the Gu family and the Zheng family has become closer and closer during these two years.

Zheng Hongqiu and the others were also very familiar with the Gu family. After all, this was the home of their future doctor Lang.

This time, Gu Yao and Zheng Shuyi will go to Beijing in advance, and they haven't even bought a house in Beijing.

However, she still has to wait and see if she can become an official directly in the capital after passing the exam.

"Ayao, let's go to the capital as soon as possible, otherwise there will be too many people."

She was determined to live in her aunt's house. She had originally invited Gu Yao, but she was unwilling to refuse directly.

Gu Yao was just like that, so she didn't try to keep him.

Of course she would not live in Zheng Shuyi's relatives' house. Why would she go there when they were all alone?

Anyway, she brought enough money, enough to buy a house.

So she took Gu Xiaoshu, Zheng Shuyi and her classmates from the mansion on the journey together.

Han Yuqing had given birth to a daughter before, and he brought the child with him to see Gu Yao off.

They knew that if they passed the exam this time, Gu Yao would become an official, and their family would go to the capital together. So their eyes were full of anticipation.

I left my family and traveled for more than half a month before arriving in the capital. Looking at the prosperous capital, I felt that the capital was full of nobility.

In the capital, if you throw a brick, you can become an official.

The capital of the emperor is full of royal relatives and nobles. Some of the dignitaries look up to this place.

They all want to settle down in the capital, which represents their future and hope.

However, we also know that only by passing the Spring Examination can one become one of these officials.

The capital city is still a bit cold this year, and Gu Yao is still wearing a cloak, which is very thick.

We have suffered a lot along the way. The journey is long and it even rains sometimes.
