Gu Yi’s ears perked up instantly.
Master Gu and Madam Gu also looked at each other unexpectedly. They thought that the Song family would have to think about it for a few days before coming to their door to talk about it.
“Although the jade bracelet was said to have been broken by Yuan Min, it was broken after all, and our Song family is not someone who does not respect their promises, we agree that Yue’er and Young Master Gu are betrothed.”
Gu Yi was overjoyed and resisted the urge to jump up, “Don’t worry big brother, after the betrothal I will treat the little girl even better.”
Song Si glanced at him, not taking his words, and said, “We have one request.”
“Not to mention one request, even if it’s ten requests, we will agree.”
Gu Yi couldn’t wait to respond.
Master Gu also smiled and said, “Yi’er is right, we will agree to as many requests as we can, please say so, Sir Song.”
“There are still a few days to go before the results of my house exams come out, and my family wants them to settle the marriage after this matter.”
“No problem.”
Master Gu agreed in one breath, “We’ll wait for your news, and we’ll go over when you say when the marriage will be fixed.”
“Thank you, Master Gu, for your understanding.”
“We are already grateful that the Song family has agreed to settle the marriage.”
“Apart from that, there is one more thing.”
Song Wangyue took out the silver cheques, nineteen thousand taels of them and pushed them in front of Gu Yi, “This is the silver cheque Young Master Gu took when he went to the capital, I’m afraid he’ll spend it carelessly and keep it for him.”
“Well kept, well kept.”
Mrs. Gu smiled, “Yi’er is spoiled by us, he never knows how to spend money frugally, we are relieved to have you by his side in the future.”
Song Wan Yue put the other 10,000 taels on the table as well, “This is the money from the pills I sold, you two should have heard from Young Master Gu, I sold quite a few great tonic pills, the herbs were all given to us by him, we can’t take the money from the sale alone, here’s 10,000 taels for you.”
“That won’t do, since Yi’er gave you the herbs, they are yours, and the money from the sale naturally goes to you, not to us.”
“That’s right.”
Gu Yi nodded in agreement and pushed the 19,000 taels of silver cheque and the 10,000 taels together back in front of Song Wan Yue, “We’re about to be engaged, what’s the point of dividing what’s yours and what’s mine? What’s mine is yours, what’s yours is still yours, these are all for you.”
Master Gu and Madam Gu,……
Song Wangyue pushed it back, “I can’t take it.”
Gu Yi pushed it back again, “Take it, if you don’t take it, I’ll fill a box of silver tickets for you to go over when the wedding is fixed.”
Master Gu,……
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
The housekeeper came in with the account book and placed it respectfully in front of Song Si.
There were two books in total, one recording the total amount of herbal tea made, and one recording where it was sold, how much it earned, and how much it netted after expenses.
“In business I’m not going to be polite with you, after the money I advanced, we made a total of 20,000 taels, half for each of us, 10,000 taels for each family.”
“We’ll take five thousand.”
Song Wangyue said, “All the channels were opened up by you, we can’t get that much credit.”
Master Gu waved his hand, “The channels are readily available, even if you don’t sell herbal tea you will sell something else, the profits were agreed to be shared equally in the first place, so don’t be polite. ”
The housekeeper placed the 10,000 taels of silver cheque respectfully in front of Song Wan Yue.
Gu Yi picked it up and placed it on the pile, pushing it all forward, “Take it, my father’s family is big, he doesn’t care about these tens of thousands of taels.”
The corners of Elder Gu’s mouth twitched violently a few times.
Mrs. Gu saw it clearly and hid her mouth in laughter.
“Miss Yue’er, just take it, you know Yi’er’s temper, if you don’t take it, he’ll be able to send it home for you the day after you leave with your first foot.”
Gu Yi was really capable of doing such a thing, in order to avoid scaring the family, Song Wan Yue stopped pushing back and took all the silver tickets, “In that case, I will first keep them for Young Master Gu.”
“Good, good, good.”
Madam Gu smiled and nodded her head.
……
The two of them came out of Gu’s house and walked out a long way, Song Si was still a bit unaware that they had come to deliver silver tickets, but they ended up bringing back several tens of thousands of taels.
Song Wan Yue took advantage of the lack of people on the road and counted out 10,000 taels and handed it to him, “A moment later, big brother said it was the income from the herbal tea and didn’t say a word to the family.”
Song Si took it and quickly put it away, “Yue’er, I don’t think this is a good idea.”
“I’ve already got it back whether it’s proper or not, put it here with me first, we’ll talk about it later.”
Song Si sighed inaudibly, he always felt that Gu Yi was sometimes terribly clever and sometimes terribly stupid.
……
When they returned home and learned that the herbal tea had earned 10,000 taels, the Song family was happy again. Grandma Song immediately brought her two daughters-in-law out to cook ten dishes and asked Song Lin to bring out the jar of good wine so that several people could have a good drink.
Song San’s little injury had not yet fully healed, so naturally he could not drink, and he looked straight smacking his lips.
Nurse Song was not used to seeing him like this, so she knocked his chopsticks, “Eat properly.”
Song Sanxiao dared not speak out in anger and put a large chopstick of vegetable into his mouth, muttering as he ate, “This is fifteen taels of good wine per catty, how can I not crave it when I can’t drink it?”
Despite his slurred words, Song’s grandmother, who had good ears, heard him, and she stopped her chopsticks and raised her voice, “How much is a catty?”
Song Sanxiao was so scared that he swallowed the vegetables in his mouth, choking and almost rolling his eyes.
Grandma Song put down her chopsticks and twisted his ear, “Say it again, how much is a catty?”
Song Wangyue looked at Song Sanxiao and unhurriedly put the vegetables into her bowl, dumping the pot without any burden, “Fifteen taels a catty, at first I said to buy three taels, but Third Uncle urged me to buy such a good one, and said to hide it from you guys.”
Song San Xiao wailed, “Yue’er you …… hurt, hurt, hurt …… mother, you gently, gently.”
Song Wan Yue leisurely ate her meal, looking at Song San Xiao’s painful grimacing appearance, not at all heartbroken, who let him leak his mouth, this pot has to let him take the blame.
The old man, Song Lin and Song Shu were so frightened that they hurriedly put down their wine goblets, not daring to drink. Fifteen taels a catty, that’s half a tael of silver for them.
“Lao, boss ……”
Elder Song’s voice was a little shaky, “We drank, drank a, a catty, right?”
Song Lin also followed suit and shook, “A, more than a catty.”
Snap!
Elder Song slapped Song San Xiao, “It’s all your fault, you loser, for encouraging Yue’er to buy such expensive wine, and now, well, we’ve lost most of this year’s harvest!”
