Chapter 1 One thousand taels of dowry

Fengtou Town.

In a family that is not a simple home, there is a man and a woman kneeling in the lobby. Although the man is wearing a coarse cloth shirt, he cannot cover up his handsome and uncast face. At this moment, his thin lips are tightly pursed, and his deep eyes are full of determination.

The woman has a pretty face and is a jasper in her family. At this moment, her eyes are wet, her nose is red, and tears are hanging on her pink cheeks, which makes her pity.

A middle-aged man sat on the high seat in the lobby, with anger erupting in his eyes: "I tell you, Gu Siyi, I will not marry my baby daughter to you. You will die of your heart!"

"Uncle, I love Rou'er, and Rou'er loves me too. I promise to treat Rou'er well in the future. Why do you want to break us up?" Gu Siyi said unwillingly.

Zhang Zhao slapped the table in anger and said, "Just because you want to give Rou'er happiness? You don't even look at your home. It's so simple that the mouse feels dirty when you move in. How much money can you make as a fisherman? Even supporting my daughter is a problem."

"Ro'er said she didn't care, she only cared about me."

Zhang Zhao interrupted: "She doesn't care, I care, I won't let her suffer with you unless..."

Zhang Zhao's change in attitude made Gu Siyi suddenly feel a little hope: "Unless what?"

Zhang Zhao said slowly: "I will agree unless you use a thousand taels of silver to get a job."

What?

One thousand taels?

He couldn't even take out a hundred taels. He knew his conditions and actually asked him like this. Isn't this trying to force him to give up?

But what can I do?

Seeing Gu Siyi's look at him with a daze, he sneered.

"Why, can't you take it out? Since you can't take it out, you'll want to marry my daughter."

He suddenly smiled and said to his daughter, "Rou'er, the young master of the Liu family is happy for a long time. If you marry him, you will be the young grandmother of the Liu family. Whatever you want to do? "

Zhang Wanrou cried and said, "Father, my daughter only wants to marry Brother Yi. Except Brother Yi, I will not marry anyone. Please help my daughter."

Zhang Zhao said cruelly: "No, unless he can give out a thousand taels of silver as a betrothal gift, you can only marry the young master of the Liu family."

Gu Siyi had no choice but to: "Okay! I promise you that I will take out a thousand taels to marry Rou'er."

"Don't promise too early, this is a deadline. My daughter can't wait too long. I'll give you half a year to prepare. In half a year, my daughter will be someone else's."

Half a year?

What could he do in half a year? He knew that his intentional difficulties were to make him retreat, but he couldn't, so he could only nod.

Gu Siyi looked confused when he came out of the Zhang family. He didn't know what to do next, how to raise enough 1,000 taels. Even if he sold the fish pond, it was not worth 100 taels.

He left in a daze, and suddenly heard several people discussing: "Hahaha, I have won a lot of money now, please go to Manxianglou for a big meal."

"Really? How much have you won?"

"Hahahaha, I won 100 taels today, I wonder how many people are envious and jealous of them."

"Tsk tsk tsk, don't forget me if you get rich in the future."

...

Gu Siyi's confused eyes had a focus. By the way, you can gamble...

At this time, Zhang Wanrou was rubbing Zhang Zhao's shoulders. She couldn't help but complain: "Father, why do you want to say a thousand taels? When will Brother Yi earn it? I don't want to marry the Liu family. It's ugly. It's so oily and gas-filled. It's not as good as Brother Yi's finger."

Zhang Zhao patted his daughter's hand and comforted him: "Daughter, my father is all for your own good. Do you really want to marry Gu Siyi's family?"

Zhang Wanrou curled her lips, but did not refute. Although she loved Gu Siyi, she didn't dare to go in his house once.

Zhang Zhao knew his daughter's thoughts: "Don't worry, if Gu Siyi doesn't have a 1,000 taels of betrothal in half a year, I will postpone it for some time, but it must be enough 1,000 taels, otherwise he will not be qualified to marry you."

Zhang Wanrou thought for a while and felt that this method was good. Give some time limit to make Brother Yi feel the pressure and then get rich soon. She had no objection.

Then he called sweetly: "Dad, you are so good!"

A few days passed, Gu Siyi sold his fish pond and got ninety taels. In addition, his entire property was 150 taels. He was going to take it to the casino to gamble, and he only allowed to win and not fail. If he failed, he would not even have a way out, so he decided to go to the casino to observe every day.

At that time, he was standing outside Fengyang Casino, Fengyang Casino, the only dominant casino in Fengtou Town, which was crowded every day and was very lively.

He never thought that he would bet on all his wealth here, and the carnival inside was as heavy as a death talisman.

Some people in the casino are sad and some are happy. Some people who come in and out are welcomed and praised while smiling, and some are bombarded with crying.

Gu Siyi pursed his thin lips and stepped in resolutely.

The smell of sour sweat came to his nose. He frowned and watched the dozens of gambling tables coldly as the crowds gathered around the edge of the gambling table and shouted loudly. He walked to the table casually. Although there were many people, with his tall body, he could easily see the table.

"Buy big and buy small, bet quickly," the person who was shaking the dice shouted.

“Buy Big”

"Buy a small one"

"Hurry, it's going to be opened"

Immediately, the dice clock covered with dice slowly opened...

"Oh, it's small, it's so good, I won."

"Oh, I lost"

...

...Divide line

Far away from Feng's house in Yanwang City, in the yard of flowers, a woman in red was bored and swinging on the swing. Her face broke without using her makeup. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her red lips were flaming, and she was extremely enchanting, as if she was a rose fairy walking out of the painting.

Suddenly, a figure jumped down from the roof quickly, and in an instant, he arrived next to the woman, clasped her fists and said respectfully to the woman in red,

"Young Master, I've found it."

It turned out to be a stunning beauty with a cold face. Her beauty looked indifferent, as if she had no feelings at all, but often such people are fragile inside and use their cold appearance to hide all pain.

"Oh, Mengxuan, where is it?" The woman seemed to hear something interesting, and her expression instantly became vivid and brighter.

The woman called Mengxuan handed a jade pendant to the woman. The woman took it and stroked it carefully, with a look of nostalgia "I finally found you."

Suddenly the woman seemed to think of something, "Mengxuan, what's going on with my life savior recently?"

"He went to Zhang's family to propose marriage but was rejected, but Zhang Wanrou's father had a request. If he took out 1,000 taels of silver as a marriage within half a year, he would agree to marry Zhang Wanrou and enter the house."

The woman frowned slightly, "It seems that I have to bring him back in person, otherwise he will become someone else's."
