Chapter 40 Guo Xiaoxiao

Nothing happened overnight.

When it was dawn and I was injecting vitality into Kaifeng Mansion again, Wu Haogu also got up from a clean and small bed.

The bed was owned by Liu Wuji, but the one who cleaned up the bed for Wu Haogu was Guo Xiaoxiao, the black girl who couldn't get married in Guo Jing.

Xiaoxiao is thirteen years old this year, not ugly, with handsome eyebrows and round eyes, and a little loli is already a little curvy and angry, and she is about the same height as Wu Haogu. I really don’t know how graceful it will look when she grows up? But this girl’s skin is a little darker.

However, Guo Xiaoxiao's difficulty in marrying is not because of blackness, but because he can't get the dowry.

Most of the men in Kaifeng Prefecture are burdened by houses, while their daughters are troubled by marriage.

A woman without a dowry can hardly marry a good family even if she looks like a fairy, unless her surname is Zhao... Of course, it is not Zhao Tieniu's Zhao, but Zhao Kuangyin's Zhao!

The daughter of the royal tribe of the Zhao Song Dynasty has always been the first choice for housewives in Kaifeng Mansion. Before the Wu family declined, Wu Chengzhi always wanted to find a daughter-in-law named Zhao for his son. If he could get a county lord, it would be fine if he would pay tens of thousands of dollars.

If you marry the county lord, you will be able to win an official position. If there is an official position, how could the Wu family have the same trouble today?

Unfortunately, the county lord didn't find it (the county lord didn't sell it in the shop, he had to wait for the opportunity to get it), but the disaster came first...

Guo Xiaoxiao's family is poor and has a brother, Guo Jing, who has no house or money (now he has money), so he naturally has no hope of marrying a wife.

So Guo Jing and his old mother, Mu, always wanted to use Guo Xiaoxiaodian as a concubine (of course, there is no need to bring a dowry to be a concubine, and they can also get a sum). They had agreed with Wu Haogu, who had not been replaced, so they would send Guo Xiaoxiao to the warm bed when Wu Haogu married a wife named Zhao... The reason for this arrangement is also a custom. Taking a concubine before marrying a wife was disrespectful to the daughter's family, especially the daughter-in-law was the daughter of the Zhao family.

As a result, Wu Haogu was still a young man who had never slept with a woman at the age of 20.

However, Guo Xiaoxiao didn't seem to have any intention of Wu Haogu. After dawn, she ignored Dalang when she came in to clean up the house and kept asking where "Brother Wuji" had gone. Guo Jing was so shady that he pointed at the girl and scolded him.

"Why are you so unaware of your eyes? Ask Liu Wuji in front of the Wu family's official? How could that kid compare to the Wu family's official?"

Xiaoxiao then looked at Wu Haogu, who was not very energetic after taking a closer look at the sleep-deprived Wuxia, but was not very satisfied. He dug his mouth and muttered, "You have praised Wuji as the emperor. I think it's better for Brother Wuji..."

"You, you..." Guo Jing stomped his feet, "I'm so angry that I'll send you to the official of Wuda to warm up the bed today!"

As he spoke, he wanted to catch his girl.

"No, no..."

The little rabbit, who seemed to be frightened, shouted and rushed out of the house.

Guo Jing was about to chase him, but was stopped by Wu Haogu, "Third brother, what are you doing? It's okay if Xiaoxiao doesn't want to. In the past, your family was poor and could not marry a girl. Now you still lack the few hundred pieces of marriage funds?

Isn’t it better to find a husband’s family to be a eldest wife than to be a concubine?”

Guo Jing shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, "Da Lang, you were born in a rich family. How could you know that poor couples are sad... A little wild girl, a wealthy family, looks down on her, can only marry a poor soldier from the north wing of the city and join the army. She will never make a fortune in her life. How can she be your concubine?"

After hearing this, Wu Haogu could only smile bitterly and speechless, because every sentence Guo Jing said was true.

The soldiers of Kaifeng Prefecture have all fallen to this point. Isn’t it just that there is a country without any defense?

It seems that the root of the disaster more than 20 years later is this!

Let’s be honest, let Wu Haogu join the army and become Qiu Ba by himself, and he would not want to be a hundred people.

After the first day of April, he would be at least an equal painter with Mi Youren. Just two strokes would be enough for the big soldiers of the imperial guards to work hard for most of their lives.

In this world, who would regard being a soldier as a good thing?

Thinking of this, he was not interested in talking to Guo Jing anymore, so he clasped his fists and said, "It's already dawn, so I'll go back to the inner city. Tomorrow is the first day of April. Xiao Yi and you must go to Daxiangguo Temple tonight. You can take it in early tomorrow morning to bring it to the First Tianshui Lane."

The interactions worth nearly 58,000 yuan are hidden in the monk Fu's room of Daxiangguo Temple. The original "Drunk Arhat Picture" made by Wu Haogu was also there, and they are all guarded by Monk Fu.

"Okay, I know."

Wu Haogu finished his orders and was about to leave, but Liu Wuji came back.

He brought breakfast to Guo Jing and Wu Haogu, and also brought laughable news.

"Dalang, Miss Yan heard that your photo is amazing. I would like to ask you to paint a picture of the courtesan in Yihongyuan..."

"Xiao Yi, what are you saying?"

Before Liu Wuji could finish his words, he was interrupted by Guo Jing.

"Yihongyuan is a butcher shop, and the ladies there are also worthy of Dalang to paint. Dalang's painting skills will be the title of painting sooner or later, and in the future, he will paint the official and the empress dowager."

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Sanlang, you are so serious. Actually, Xiao Yi reminded me that it is not impossible to draw photos for the lady..."

Liu Wuji was overjoyed, "Dalang, have you agreed?"

"No," Wu Haogu shook his head quickly, "I don't draw the women in Miss Yan's place, at least I can't draw them now, so let's talk about them in the future."

Seeing Liu Wuji's expression of disappointment, Wu Haogu persuaded: "Xiao Yi, you are also a wealthy person. Why do you go to Yihongyuan to find Miss Yan's madam? Why would you wait for this incident to come to you and your third brother to tell you and your friends a good marriage."

"What about you?" Liu Wuji asked with a smile, "Are you still thinking about the eighteenth sister of the Pan General's family?"

When Liu Wuji mentioned Pan Qiaolian, Wu Haogu's heart was thumping and his cheeks were a little hot.

"I won't mention it anymore, I won't mention it anymore." Wu Haogu stood up, then patted Guo Jing and Liu Wuji on the shoulders, "Brother Guo San, tell Xiao Yi what he discussed with Brother Gao last night, and let me talk to the monk when you arrive at Daxiangguo Temple.

In addition, you have a share in the Panjiayuan game this time. Brother Gao got 30% of the investment, and I got 40% of the investment, and each of you 10% of the investment, is it okay?"

In fact, in the panjiayuan gambling battle, Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Monk Fu have little effect. However, since Wu Haogu regarded them as partners, he had to bring them wealth. Moreover, he also needed a few good brothers to help him now. He still understood the principle of a hero and three helpers.

"OK."

"Everything is decided by Dalang."

"By the way, third brother." Wu Haogu thought for a while and said, "Let the monk make an account book, and he will take care of the money in the public, but the four of us must discuss and decide, and I can't decide alone.

Our brothers' activities will continue, and they will grow bigger, and there must be rules."

"Hi, look at what you said, we all listen to you."

"Yes, yes, you'll be fine if you have the final say."

Guo Jing and Liu Wuji both raised objections this time. They have been given a lot of money with Wu Haogu these days, and have never been so rich in their lives. Naturally, they listened to Wu Haogu.

"Since you listen to me, you must set good rules." Wu Haogu shook his head and said seriously, "Our brothers' business has just opened, and we have to do big things in the future. How can we not have rules?"

"Do you need to be bigger?"

"This fake painting activity..."
