Gao Shilian and Zhangsun Wuji were both dumbfounded!
They couldn't accept such a situation!
Uncle Gao Shilian's face darkened.
"Tell me clearly, why did you break off the engagement with the eldest daughter of the Li family?”
Lu Mingyu looked around and said solemnly in a low voice.
"I was going to the Li family to pick up the bride today, but I didn't expect...
Madam Dou and Li Shi Min actually asked for an exorbitant price.
They asked me for a 100,000-yuan betrothal gift and even wanted to take all the businesses under my name!
They kept saying that Li Shimin also needed this much betrothal gift to marry his eldest grandson.
But I just asked Sister Zhangsun, you only want a betrothal gift of 10,000 yuan!
I just feel that this matter is very strange. Why does the Li family want so much money from me?
Could it be that they wanted to learn from the Hongnong Yang family?”
The Yang family of Hongnong Prefecture referred to Yang Su and Yang Xiaogan.
When King Yang Su of Yue was alive, he was already very ambitious. He had always been feared by Emperor Wen and Emperor Yang of Sui.
In Yang Xiaogan's generation, he took advantage of Yang Guang's second crusade against Goguryeo to rebel.
However, this guy had great ambitions but little talent, so he didn't listen to Li Mi's suggestion.
From the moment he started to attack Luoyang, he had made every wrong step. In the end, he died in defeat last year!
Yang Xiaogan's defeat did not cause the other noble families to give up. The other aristocratic families were also ready to make a move!
Why did Lu Mingyu dare to say such things to Gao Shilian?
Because Lu Mingyu realized that Gao Shilian was still a sincere gentleman.
Although he was Zhangsun Wugou's uncle,
However, in history, it was relatively late to join the Li Tang regime!
It seemed that he had only joined the Li Tang regime in the fifth year of Wude!
Moreover, Uncle Gao Shilian had also gotten into trouble recently!
The Minister of War, Hu Sizheng, had once plotted a rebellion with Yang Xiaogan, but after the matter was exposed, he fled to Goguryeo.
Gao Shilian was implicated in the relationship with Hu Si Zheng and was demoted to the main book of Zhu Yuan County.
Gao Shilian was very filial to his mother. Because of the serious plague in Lingnan area, he could not bring his mother along, so he left his wife Xianyu to take care of his mother on his behalf.
He then remembered that his sister (who was Zhangsun Wugou's mother) had no home to settle down in. He had sold the big house and bought a small house to settle his sister.
He gave the rest of the money to his mother and sister and traveled light.
Before he went into battle, his uncle Gao Shilian had a wish.
He had personally seen his niece, Zhangsun Wugou, get married!
However, he did not expect that Zhangsun Wugou would not marry Li Shimin, whom he had helped him choose previously.
It was Lu Mingyu, whom he was very familiar with!
And this Lu Mingyu was the fiancé of the eldest daughter of the Li family, Li Xiuning!
Uncle Gao Shilian was going to call it ridiculous.
However, this matter was related to the Li family's rebellion. Gao Shilian's attention was completely focused on this matter!
"What evidence do you have? Maybe the Li family is just greedy!"
"I don't have any evidence." Lu Mingyu shook his head.
But would you dare to let Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Wugou step into such danger?”
Uncle Gao Shilian was speechless.
He only had some contact with Yang Xiaogan's adviser and was demoted to that remote place in Lingnan.
(Lingnan was indeed a desolate place at the end of the Sui Dynasty.)
If his niece married Li Shiming, if they failed like Yang Xiaogan, it would be a disaster!
Gao Shilian was a very cautious person. He did not want his niece and nephew to be involved in such a whirlpool!
Gao Shilian also knew that Lu Mingyu had opened so many wineries, tea houses, taverns, and tea houses. He was very well-informed!
These words were absolutely true!
Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng didn't even show up when Li Xiuning got married. They were so mysterious that no one knew what they were up to!
Gao Shilian pondered for a moment and turned to ask Zhangsun Wuji,""Wuji, what do you think?"
In this time and space, because Zhangsun Wugou had not officially married Li Shiming,
Therefore, Zhangsun Wuji and Li Shiming did not interact frequently.
On the contrary, she interacted more frequently with Lu Mingyu!
At first, Zhangsun Wuji only went to Lu Mingyu's restaurant and teahouse to spend money.
After getting to know Lu Mingyu, she realized that Lu Mingyu's understanding of this world was very grand and comprehensive.
Following Lu Mingyu, she could learn many things that couldn't be learned from books!
Because Zhangsun Wuji realized that he could always learn something from Lu Mingyu.
His understanding of this world was always refreshing. He respected and trusted Lu Mingyu from the bottom of his heart!
"Brother Mingyu is right. The Li family is indeed not right. They might be harboring evil intentions!
He had to be careful about his sister's marriage!
Younger sister can marry brother Mingyu, with brother Mingyu taking care of her, I am at ease!”
Uncle Gao Shilian sighed deeply.
"You young people are too reckless.
Don't you know that you're offending the Li family!
Now that I've been demoted and will be leaving for Lingnan, I won't be able to take care of you.
If the Li family makes things difficult for you, what should you do?”
