Chapter 356

Three days later, Chang Errui approached Yuan Laorong and his wife again and told him about his decision not to marry Gu Dafu's family.

Yuan Laorong's daughter-in-law saw that he had made up her mind, and she couldn't delay the girl anymore, so she sent someone to inform Gu Dafu's family, and gave a generous gift.

When Mrs. Chen learned that the Yuan family had rejected the marriage of the two families, she was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, so she sent him away with a stiff face, and finally went home after closing the shop. Come out, what did you do? Let the Yuan family reject the marriage!"

Gu Yumei was mixing spices at home. When she heard this, she was surprised, angry, and secretly happy. She didn't have to marry and farm in Yanfu Village.

She retorted: "Second Aunt, I only met the Yuan family once, and you were there at that time. You can see how I am doing. Whether the marriage is successful or not is none of my business. I didn't do anything to upset the Yuan family. thing."

Mrs. Chen didn't know that Chang Errui bumped into Wan Lifang sending Gu Yumei's brother and sister to the town. Hearing Gu Yumei's words, and thinking about entertaining Yuan Laorong's wife on the day the shop opened, she also felt that Gu Yumei had nothing wrong with it.

But why not?

That day I saw that Yuan Laorong's daughter-in-law liked sister Mei very much.

Chen felt that her family had been played by the Yuan family, so she was so angry that she stood in the room and scolded the Yuan family a lot.

When Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui came back and heard that the Yuan family rejected the marriage, they also felt uncomfortable.

Gu Dagui comforted Gu Dafu: "Forget it, big brother. The Yuan family is not successful. Let's look for it again. During this time, there are several families who have come to propose marriage to Sister Mei. Let's pick and choose, and we will definitely find a good family."

Gu Dafu said: "Those people are all rushing to our workshops and shops, their minds are not pure, how can there be any good people?"

Marrying with those people is harming Sister Mei.

Gu Dexing reminded: "Isn't there still Wan Xiucai's family? Father, Wan Xiucai's family is really a good family. Wan Lifang's conduct and knowledge are good. You may wish to consider it. If it succeeds, Mei Mei's life will not be as good in the future. Had a bad time."

Chen's eyes lit up: "That's right, there is also the Wan family. Although Wan Xiucai is a bit more noble, he is a scholar after all. If we get married with his family, our family will also be honored."

Gu Dafu didn't like Wan's family before, but after Yuan's family refused, he finally fell in love with Wan Xiucai's family when he heard about it. After thinking about it, he said, "Wan's family looks good, but marriage matters cannot be hastily decided." , let me think about it first."

Gu Yumei was very happy to hear that her father would consider the Wan family. If she could marry into Wan Xiucai's family, then she would be the young mistress.

……

The third grandpa and the third grandma were very sorry to hear that the Yuan family rejected the marriage of the two families: "The Yuan family is so good, but it didn't work out."

"Why is the Yuan family unhappy? Could it be that they dislike us for fleeing famine? Or did they hear some gossip?"

Anything can happen on the way to escape from the famine. Many people are not willing to marry a girl who fled from the famine, for fear that the girl's body will break down on the road.

The third grandma has always been worried about this, and she couldn't help asking when she heard the Yuan family's rejection of the marriage.

The third grandfather sat next to Brother Cheng, watched him write on the sand, and sighed: "Who knows what it is, but no matter what it is, it can't be because of a few gossips. Yuan Lichang is not like that Hearing that the wind is the rain, being able to bring his daughter-in-law here on the day the shop opens means that the girl is fine, if he really dislikes it in his heart, he will not let his daughter-in-law come that day."

Third Grandma sighed.

Gu Jinli was tinkering with her mosquito-repellent incense in the yard. Hearing this, he comforted them: "Third grandfather and three grandmas, don't worry. Recently, many families have come to the rich uncle's house to propose marriage. Gu Yumei has no shortage of people to marry. Isn't that Wan Xiucai's family here?" It's been two times, and I've seen that Gu Yumei really likes the Wan family, maybe she can be a talented lady in the future."

Gu Yumei has a big heart, she likes to marry a scholar, and then dreams that the person she will marry will pass the exam, a scholar this year, a candidate next year, and a high school champion the year after.

The third grandma said: "It's easy to be a scholar lady. Besides, sister Mei doesn't know much. She's a peasant girl. If she marries into a scholar's family, she can't even speak a word with them. Her life will not be easy."

Gu Jinli didn't reply, thinking that whether life is going well or not is all Gu Yumei's fault and has nothing to do with her.

She continued to stir the fragrant mud in the pottery dish, and after the stirring was finished, she brought over a dozen grinding tools.

Gu Dashan made the grinding tool for her. It was very simple, that is, to plan out small grooves the size of soybeans and half the length of an arm in a piece of wood.

She poured the mixed fragrant mud into the small grooves, filled each small groove one by one, and put it in the yard to dry.

The third grandma saw it and asked, "Can you really burn this mud as incense after it's dried?"

After the busy farming season, Xiaoyu said he wanted to make mosquito coils. He had been tinkering with this thing for half a month. He went to Xuanhufang to buy a lot of medicinal materials, found some old bark, and ground the old bark and medicinal materials into powder. Mix together.

Fortunately, those medicinal materials are cheap, otherwise Xiao Yu would mix the medicinal materials with the old bark, and she would feel distressed to death.

Gu Jinli said: "Yes, after two days, our family will be able to use mosquito coils, so we don't have to be bitten by mosquitoes, and we don't have to cry from being smoked by wormwood."

There is no mosquito-repellent incense in Dachu. Every summer, everyone can only use wormwood to smoke the house, but the smoke of wormwood is so strong that even if a person sits at the door, he will be smoked heavily by the wormwood in the house.

And too much smoke is not good for the lungs.

There is no wormwood in the mosquito-repellent incense she makes, but only three kinds of herbs that kill mosquitoes and insects: white chrysanthemum, aphid, and red-backed vine.

"Then old lady, I'll just wait. If the mosquito coil you make can't kill mosquitoes, don't do it next time. It's a waste of money." The third grandma was a little afraid of Gu Jinli's attitude of spending money. Go too far, after you settle down, as long as you have money in your hands, you can work hard, there is no time to stop.

After Gu Jinli finished drying a mold of mosquito-repellent incense, he continued to put the clay from the clay pot into the groove of the mold. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Third Grandma, why don't we make a bet that if I make it Mosquito coils can kill mosquitoes, so you always give me a tael of silver."

"A tael of silver, you girl really loses money. Well, isn't it just a tael of silver? The old woman is also a person with a bit of money nowadays, and she can afford to lose a tael of silver." The third grandma readily agreed, anyway, Even if she loses the money, it's still for Gu Jinli, she doesn't feel bad.

Gu Jinli: "Then let's make an agreement, and the third grandma won't renege on her debt if she loses."

Brother Cheng hurriedly said: "Second Sister, Second Sister, I will testify for you. If you win, I will ask Third Mistress for money for you."

The third grandma glared at him: "You little heartless, the third grandma loves you for nothing, so she will help your second sister."

Cheng Ge'er giggled, knowing that the third grandma loved him, so he wasn't afraid.
