Chapter 137 Father Gu’s Opinion
Besides, he had always been intelligent, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He could even write essays for the women's imperial examinations, which was also due to the careful teaching of Doctor Jia.
Although he was born to Jia Erfu, he grew up by his side, and Jia Dafu was very fond of him.
In fact, seeing that Jia Dalang was becoming more and more intelligent, Jia Dalang had some ideas in his mind. He wanted him to marry a more powerful family.
But Shicheng is such a small place that there is no hope at all. The previous prefect simply looked down on their family.
After Lord Gu came, his wife married into the Gu family.
Sometimes he thought about the two or three young ladies of the Gu family, but Doctor Jia felt that there was still no hope.
So he just lay down, thinking that as long as he could marry into the Gu family, everything would be fine. As for Doctor Jia, he thought that at worst he could find a family of equal status to marry him off, and being a doctor would be a pretty stable life.
When Jia Dalang and his companions arrived at the Gu Mansion, they followed the young masters at home and studied with them.
It has to be said that the Bugu family is a family of officials, and even the husband who is a teacher is knowledgeable. They have benefited a lot from these few days.
Even their eldest grandfather said that they seemed to have been reborn and became more stable.
Even his father said that it was a good decision for them to go to Gu's house, and that they would have learned more if they had gone there earlier.
Jia Dalang knew that they were a little older than the two young masters of the Gu family, and they would probably not stay for long before they had to get married.
Gu Dalang knew that his eldest father had wanted him to marry into a wealthy family.
He knew his identity. He was just a merchant. How could he possibly marry into a wealthy family? At most, he could only marry a merchant of equal status.
On this day, Jia Dalang was studying with the young masters of the Gu family. During the break, he saw Gu Ning talking to another woman.
Gu Dalang blushed as he saw her. This girl was so pretty. Although she looked only about eleven or twelve years old, she looked even prettier when she grew up.
Gu Dalang had been to the Gu family several times, so he knew that this was the second daughter of the Gu family, Gu An.
"Brother, I didn't expect that the second young lady of the Gu family is so beautiful. She seems to be more beautiful than before. She is twelve years old now, and she should be taking the imperial examination soon."
These young businessmen like ladies from scholarly families the most.
The daughters of scholars have a brighter future. If they can marry their husbands, they will not have to worry about their lives in this life. The children they give birth to in the future will also be able to change their families and become daughters and sons of officials.
"It would be great if Big Brother could marry a young lady from the Gu family. That way no one would look down on us anymore."
Gu Dalang said softly: "Don't talk nonsense. The young lady of the Gu family is not someone we can remember. Their elders are all young masters who are well matched with them, not people like us."
Gu Erlang said immediately after hearing this: "I don't think so. Maybe we can still be Miss Gu's second and third husbands."
Gu Erlang was still quite confident. After all, there were scholars in their Jia family now.
What's more, the woman wanted to marry three husbands, so he felt that he could give it a try.
Gu Dalang said immediately, "Don't do anything reckless. Our Jia family still needs the help of the Gu family. If you offend the Gu family, be careful that your mother and father will punish you."
Jia Erlang was also a little scared. He quickly covered his mouth and said, "Brother, I won't say anything. Let's go over there first and go play with Aning and the others."
Gu Ning and the others had a pretty good impression of the Jia family. After all, the few people in the Jia family who were their own age were all pretty nice and they could get along well with each other.
Jia Dalang is proficient in everything from playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also good at speaking and doing things, so sometimes Jia Dalang would be invited to banquets during the New Year.
"Brother Jia, come and take a look. This is my painting. Come and help me appreciate it."
Gu Ning's favorite thing is painting. He feels that he can find his own tranquility in painting. Moreover, he has learned painting for many years, so every time he paints, he will let people appreciate it.
Gu Dalang came to Gu Ning, fanning himself, picked up the painting and was very surprised when he saw it.
"I didn't expect your brother's paintings to be so beautiful. No wonder he usually goes out."
Hearing his praise, Gu Ning felt very shy and laughed: "How can it be as good as what you said? In fact, we should thank the teacher. If it weren't for the teacher's careful teaching, my words would be worse than human eyes."
"You are indeed outstanding." He is the eldest granddaughter of Gu's father. Lin Liulang can't stand him. He is not a girl, but he has to say that he is no worse than a girl sometimes. "
And because Gu Yao has devoted herself to nurturing the children in the family, each of Gu's children is calm and successful, and they are all presentable.
Now, many people in Dahu want to marry Gu Ning.
It's a pity that Gu Yao has been looking for a wife for Gu Ning who can take good care of her and be very well behaved. After all, he will be a doctor in the future.
But the family affairs during the New Year were really good. Although it was not very popular in Beijing, many people in Shicheng were praising you.
Because Gu Ning received a good education, he is not arrogant at all. He is always gentle and elegant, and he is very charming when he goes out.
Moreover, Gu Yao did not take Gu's father's boys lightly at all. Sometimes she would let them read some books that girls should read, just to cultivate their horizons.
Take them out to travel and see the world, and they will be admired by people in the whole Stone City.
Father Gu was happy to see that the children of the Jia family were very respectful and courteous to their own children.
Before, he didn't want the children of the Jia family to be study companions with his own children. After all, other people would definitely gossip about it, and even think that the Gu family did this because of money.
Later I found out that these children were all knowledgeable and even knew the rules, and they were not noisy.
The head of their family also said that the Jia family had given A Yao a lot of help. There were even scholars in the Jia family now, so he accepted it.
It seems that the decision made at the beginning was not a bad one. At least they are not arrogant and do a good job as study partners.
"Brother, I didn't expect that the young masters of the Jia family are so good, especially the eldest Jia Dalang, who is handsome and treats people well. He even speaks in a pleasant way. It's a pity that I don't know which family he will marry in the future."
Gu smiled and said, "I think they should be engaged. After all, he is one or two years older than Ning. He is really good and I heard he has read a lot of books. If he were not a merchant, he would have a bright future."
"It's true that his status as a merchant is daunting, but there are no scholars in the Jia family right now. If he can pass the imperial examination, his marriage will be even better."
