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

Chapter 263
"Let me tell you, don't promise anything blind this time, otherwise, be careful that I scratch your face." Mrs. Lu threatened Old Gu.

She also knew that the old man and Gu Xiu were not much different in age, they had been playing since they were young, and their relationship was naturally unusual.But this Gu Xiu really doesn't make people like her, not only dislikes the poor but loves the rich, but also loves to take advantage of small things.

Old man Gu kept saying yes, but in fact he was quite annoying to the elder sister, while Gu Wan pursed her lips and smiled.

"Ouch! Changqing's family, are you at home?"

At this time, a strange woman's voice came from the courtyard, and Gu Chengyu heard it in her own room. The voice was not familiar, so she probably didn't know it.

He went to the window, glanced into the yard, and found that it was a woman in bright clothes. About 40 years old, but wearing red and green, the material on his body is made of muslin, and his face is covered with white powder. He holds a handkerchief in his hand, and touches the silver hairpin on his head with one hand from time to time. She should be living a good life, as can be seen from the woman's strong body.

"Which one is it? Come in quickly." Mrs. Lu couldn't make a sound, but she could tell her family's name, so she always knew her.While talking back, she opened the lattice window a little wider to see who was in the yard.

Looking at it this way, it turned out to be her?The woman was almost at the main room, so Lu hurriedly asked Gu Wan to take down the needle and thread, and asked her to go back to her own room to do needlework.

"Mother! Who is it?" Gu Wan asked curiously, especially her mother wanted her to avoid it.

"Why are you asking nonsense, girl? Back in your own room, didn't you and the dumb mother-in-law learn how to behave? It's not the time yet?" Learning needlework in the morning, and learning to write and behave in the afternoon.

Gu Wan had no choice but to pack up her things, and walked out the door, just in time to bump into the woman.

"Yo! This is Miss Wan from the Gu family, right? She is really a big girl! The longer she is, the better she looks?" The woman smiled and scanned Gu Wan from top to bottom, her eyes showed regret, it was just a pity Already engaged.

Seeing the woman, Gu Wan realized what she was here for, she called Aunt Tao, blushed in shame, and returned to her room as if fleeing.

"Why are you so shy, girl? I saw my aunt running faster than a rabbit." Aunt Tao joked before entering the main room.

"It turns out that Aunt Tao is here. Come and sit on the kang and drink tea!" When Lu Shi saw that it was her, she immediately gave up the vacant seat.

Seeing this, Gu Lao had no choice but to stand up, "You two are chatting, I'll go to the field." He was too embarrassed to stay in the house, a woman came, he wanted to avoid suspicion ,
Aunt Tao was not too polite, she sat down on the kang, and began to complain, "You are not mean! You don't know how to take care of me when there are good things."

"Why do you say that? Didn't the third son marry his daughter-in-law and sister Wan before, didn't they all find you? We are old acquaintances, you are straightforward, and we love to deal with you, but recently our family has no one. Say hello!"

It turned out that this woman was a matchmaker. In the surrounding villages of Shangling Village, there were only two matchmakers.

In fact, the Gu family's two marriages were taken advantage of by Mrs. Tao. In ancient times, three matchmakers and six engagements were emphasized, and there must be no matchmaking without a matchmaker.

So although the two marriages are considered successful by themselves, they still need to hire a matchmaker to protect the matchmaker.

"Who said that? Your boss asked someone to marry your granddaughter and grandson!"

Aunt Tao picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, tsk tsk!The life of the Gu family is really going well!This tea is definitely not cheap, even if she was told, she would not be able to tell, but the taste is really unique, this is the best tea she has ever tasted.

In fact, this is the tea that Gu Chengyu took out from the space, or is it fried by himself, produced by the space, can it not taste good?

Mrs. Lu was a little surprised. She didn't know that the elders asked someone to talk about their marriage outside.But even if she knew, she wouldn't care about it, and she didn't know the good young man and the little girl, and besides, the big house might not believe her!
"You have wronged me. The old man separated from our family. His family entrusted someone to promise marriage, so I can't interfere, right? You know, I'm just a stepmother, how can I manage the affairs of the first and second families?" Son? If you really want to do this business, you can find Da Fang yourself!"

Mrs. Lu doesn't want to care about it, it's okay if it's good, if it's not good, then it's her fault, she only cares when she's full!

Aunt Tao was not angry when she heard this, "Don't I know your situation yet? I'll just say that. The main reason I came here is to say goodbye to your kid. Your fourth child is now fourteen, right?" ? Not ready to say kiss yet?"

Aunt Tao didn't come here for the big house, there are three members of the Gu family who are not married!She doesn't want to think about Gu Wan, but isn't there another two?Besides, she came here today, but she was entrusted.

"Didn't the fourth child of my family study medicine under Langzhong Li? Langzhong Li said that the girl who has a family friend wants to tell the fourth child, but I don't know if it will work."

In fact, what Li Langzhong wanted to tell Gu Chengchi was the daughter of his son-in-law's second aunt, who happens to be thirteen this year, and she will come to see her in these two days.

Li Langzhong's son-in-law's second aunt's family is doing well, with [-] to [-] acres of land, a wealthy family, Lu's is still satisfied, and the rest will have to be seen after reading.

"What? Congratulations!" Mrs. Tao was a little surprised, but she didn't expect that the fourth child of the Gu family was already looking at her.

"I don't know if it will work or not. Don't talk too much outside. If it doesn't work, I will ask you to be a matchmaker."

Mrs. Lu was afraid that if she didn't speak, Mrs. Tao would pester her, and if she did, she was afraid that Mrs. Tao would talk nonsense outside, so she could only hang on to a sweet date.

As for whether it will be successful or not, that's not something she can predict, is it?But Li Langzhong said that the daughter of that family has a good temper, she is beautiful and intelligent, she can still trust Li Langzhong.

Mrs. Tao hastily agreed, and then said: "Your fourth son said we were married, but hasn't your family's scholar-in-law not yet?"

"What? Xiaobao is still young! You are only eight years old, why did you think of kissing him? Are you joking?"

Mrs. Lu was very surprised, this Mrs. Tao didn't talk about getting married today, she vowed not to give up, right?And still put your mind on Xiaobao?

"What's the point of getting married first? I have a good candidate here!" Mrs. Tao detoured for so long, and Mrs. Lu rejected her twice, so she couldn't refuse this time, right?Although the Gu family is not what it used to be, but the family she mentioned is not bad!

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she finally realized that Aunt Tao's target today might be Xiaobao, but she would never allow it.

"I'm not going to hide it from you, my little treasure is still young! I can't tell him my wife so early, I don't have to let him change his temper. Besides, he is now studying hard, so it's not like he didn't go any further. I hope that if he is less than eighteen, I will never find him a wife."
