The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 125 Major Events in the Village

"I heard from elder brother that this time Hua Geer was called down in the first match, and I was very disappointed to see elder brother." Father Gu also hoped that the Gu family could produce a talent and shine in the family.

"The scholar is so easy to test? Take Xiaobao's wife as an example. He was in his thirties when he was a scholar. How old is Brother Hua? Brother is too impatient." Lu put the silver into the money In the box, I picked up the tassel on the kang and embroidered again.

"Old man, I have embroidered twenty handkerchiefs here. You go to the town tomorrow and bring them to Mrs. Hu from the embroidery village. A handkerchief is ten coins. The price is agreed upon. By the way, I will get it for you." Come back with some embroidery work." Mrs. Lu has been doing embroidery work for the embroidery shop all the time, and this batch of handkerchiefs are made of silk and satin, and Mrs. Lu embroidered with great care.Because Mrs. Lu doesn't do rough work, her hands are not rough, and the embroidered satin handkerchief will not scratch the satin.

"Hey! Take Xiaobao to school tomorrow, and bring it to me." Father Gu quickly agreed.

"Mom! Don't get the handkerchief anymore. It's time-consuming and it's tiresome to the eyes. The family will move again soon, and soap has to be made. I'm so busy. How can I have time to do embroidery?" Gu Chengyu felt sorry for his mother, all day long Sitting on the kang doing embroidery work, my eyes are so tired, not to mention that I can't make much money with a handkerchief.

"His mother! Xiaobao is right. I figured that Uncle Sun will come to our house to work soon, and he can't come alone! We have to provide a meal at our house. Besides, we will have nothing to do in these two days." If you want to move, there is a lot of work at home, so forget about the embroidery work, and you won’t earn much from embroidery all day long." In fact, Father Gu also loves Mrs. Lu, and now that the family has money, of course he is reluctant to bear Mrs. Lu's hard work.

"Okay! Do you think I earn less? You, Gu Changqing, don't look down on these little money now, do you?" In fact, Mrs. Lu also knew of Gu's father and the others' good intentions, but she was unforgiving and insisted on Just say a few words.

"Look at you, it's coming again!" Papa Gu was also very helpless, Lu's family is just a firecracker, and it will catch fire at one o'clock.

At this time, Gu Wan's voice came from outside the courtyard, "Father! Mother! Li is telling you to go to the entrance of the village and say that you have something important to say!"

Accompanied by the voice, Gu Wan quickly entered the main room, "Father! You go quickly! They have all gone, and I don't know what happened?"

When Gu Chengyu heard that Li was about to talk about something important, he guessed that it might be about corvee service.However, there is no need for his family to worry, since they have all the money anyway.

"Second sister! Do you know what good things I brought back when I went out today?" Gu Chengyu wanted to tease his second sister. Since what happened last time, the little girl has become much more sensible, and she is no longer the same as before. Seeing Lu's acting like a baby, she wants to buy this and that.

"Could it be that you bought me a bracelet again?" Gu Wan immediately regained her spirits when she heard the good news.

Lu Shi nodded Gu Wan's forehead, "You think the silver bracelet is a Chinese cabbage? Buy it if you want?"

"Then I'll go to the entrance of the village!" Father Gu stood up from the kang and walked towards the gate.

"Then you go! Anyway, I'm not going, and I'll tell my family what's going on when I come back." It's very difficult for the Lu family to go out, and they usually don't participate in major events in the village.

"Little Treasure! What kind of good thing is it? Don't keep it to yourself."

"What are you in a hurry for?" Mrs. Lu smiled and took out a piece of lotus-colored muslin from the kangqin, "Here? Look, isn't it pretty?"

In fact, this lotus root color material is more expensive than other fine cotton cloths, not only because its texture is finer than other cotton cloths, but also because this color is less and difficult to dye, so this material is ten times more expensive than other cotton cloths. Five cents a foot!

"Ah! This color is so beautiful. Mom! Is this piece of cloth intended to be used as my clothes?" Gu Wan stepped forward to touch the fine cloth, feeling that she couldn't put it down.

"Xiaobao bought it for you, but he picked this color for you. This color is very expensive!" Seeing that Gu Wan likes it, Lu Shi was also very happy.

"Little Treasure! You're so kind, it's not in vain for me to take care of you since childhood!" Gu Wan spread out the material and gestured on her body.

"You girl, you just can't talk! Your younger brother treats you well not because you take care of him, but because you are his older sister." It's obvious that Lu's love for Gu Wan is a girl, and she still has to rely on her brother in the future Tell the siblings that blood ties are indelible.

"I'm just talking! Mom, help me embroider some flowers on it! I don't know what kind of skirt this color goes with." Gu Wan thought about her skirt, but couldn't find it. One can match.

"Ouch! I'm so exhausted! How could it be a woman's job to go to the ground?" Accompanied by the shout, Mrs. He had already arrived in the yard.

"Mom! We're back!" shouted He, walking towards the main room.Today it's her turn to cook, so she has to come to the main room and ask her mother-in-law for food.

As soon as she stepped into the room, she saw Gu Wan holding a piece of cloth and gesturing on her body, "Oh! Where did this cloth come from? Why is the color so beautiful? It's still made of fine cotton!"

While talking, Mrs. He stepped forward, wanting to touch her hand.When Gu Wan saw He's hands full of dirt, she quickly rolled up the material and hid it behind her.

"Second sister-in-law! Can't you wash your hands when you come back? It's so dirty!"

"Hey? His sister-in-law? Don't you know that people who go to the fields are so dirty? We are not like you, like a girl from the landlord's family. Come and try to go to the fields with me tomorrow? Keep your hands better than mine. It's still dirty! His sister-in-law, let me touch that cloth!" Mrs. He got a little angry when she saw her sister-in-law talking about her like that, and she ate and drank with you at home, but on the contrary, she despised them for being dirty?It's just that her temper comes and goes quickly.At this moment, she only remembered the fabric shaking in front of her eyes just now, she had never seen such a beautiful fabric before!

"Second brother! It's your turn to cook today, right? Do you still have time to hang around here?" Mrs. Lu saw Mrs. He pestering her endlessly, so she had to send Mrs. He to cook. If she had known about it, she would have taken it out later. Calling this lazy woman is hard to get out of her eyes.

"Second sister-in-law! Everyone has this cloth, and the color of your cloth is also very beautiful!" Gu Chengyu planned to give the cloth to them and let them make their own clothes.Anyway, he didn't favor one over another, everyone in the family bought it.

"What? I have it too? Mom! Take it out and let me see it!" When He heard that she had it too, her face was full of smiles. She hadn't worn new clothes for many years.

It's too late for Mrs. Lu to stop her now. In fact, she also knows that she must have bought them all for her family, otherwise she wouldn't have bought so many, but she still feels distressed!

"Could the cloth be without yours? You cook first, and I'll give it to you later!" She wouldn't take it out right now, and then give it to the second child's family, and distribute it to everyone after dinner , this woman definitely wants it again.

Mrs. Lu opened the cabinet next to the kang, where the rations of the Gu family were stored, dug out the old amount with a bowl, and handed it to Mrs. He.

He pursed his lips, muttered and left.

When the members of the Gu family arrived one after another, Father Gu came back from the entrance of the village.As soon as he came back, he sighed and sat on the kang, looking not in a good mood.
