Splendid pastoral, the doctor girl is a little sweet

Chapter 74 Cousin Gu Rongdong

Gu Yingying said: "That is inevitable."

But I knew very well in my heart that if Shen Ruyi and his family's prodigal son hadn't made troubles outside, they probably wouldn't have encountered such difficulties.

At first Fan was going to report to the official.

The mother was also worried that his cousin Gu Rongdong, who had not yet obtained a degree and was not married, would lose face after Granny Xu's Fan family reported to the government.Worried about affecting my cousin's future.

But fortunately, at the critical moment, my mother listened to Granny Xu's persuasion.I understand, if Shen Ruyi and the others repay the debt once, there will be a second, third, or even many times waiting for them.

The money of the long house is all accumulated through hard work.It hurts to use it to repay the debt of the prodigal son Gu Rongdong, isn't it?
What's more, father and second brother are both fighting abroad, so no one can predict what will happen in the future.

You have to leave some silver taels for your family members.

Mother nodded in agreement.

After Fan's help to report to the official, Gu Yingying and her family members could hear the villagers say how dissatisfied Shen Ruyi was with them.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, Shen Ruyi and the others owe Dong Yueer the silver, but they have to give it.

In the case of offending the people in the long house, Shen Ruyi had no choice but to ask her parents for help, took some silver taels from her father, and sent them to Fucheng.

Gu Yingying only learned about these things after overhearing some conversations between Zhu Shi and Feng Mei in private.

Feng Mei said: "If you say that your second uncle was kicked out of the Jinxia Academy by the people there, it's not too unjust. You see, the two of them have only one son and one daughter, but they have no education. good."

Mrs. Zhu said softly: "We can only whisper this here, but it's hard to tell my mother-in-law. If she hears it, she will definitely feel uncomfortable."

"That is." Feng Mei agreed.

"It stands to reason that the second uncle and the husband and wife should have no problems in educating their children. But who would have expected that the second uncle, a self-disciplined person, would teach his cousin the way of drinking with a singing girl and listening to others sing?" Qu'er's son is coming?"

In the memory left by the original owner, he only knows that his cousin Gu Rongdong is a prodigal son, ignorant and incompetent, and he is not good to the original owner.

So the original owner didn't have a good impression of his cousin.

Later, Gu Yingying also heard from the villagers that Gu Rongdong was spoiled by his parents, and if he didn't correct it in time, he would cause trouble in the future.

She just listens.

Thinking that the cousin was far away in Fucheng, even if the second uncle lost his job and could not give her cousin a home in Fucheng, he would not come to this country to meet her and her family.

Since there is no need to meet each other, there is nothing to worry about.

But she didn't expect that the person who looked down on the villagers, like the second aunt, would come to harm the family again when her father and second brother left home for less than a month.

After overhearing what Feng Mei and Zhu's said that time, Gu Yingying learned that Shen Ruyi's prodigal cousin was really ignorant.

My cousin has lived in Fucheng since he was a child, and it is rare for him to go back to the countryside with his second aunt and the others once a year.When I grew up, when I was studying in the academy, I went out with my second brother and some classmates to make trouble, and they were all injured.

Later, like the second brother and the others, they were all imprisoned in the prison of the government office.

After the second brother came out, he really changed his mind, became hardworking, and improved a lot.

But after the cousin got out of the prison, not only did he not change, but he also blamed the second uncle for not being able to make money, and for not being able to buy a house in Fucheng, so that the family members stayed in Fucheng to live.

Let him go back to what country?
Being with flowers, birds, insects and fish every day, even if you can meet a big living person, you may not be able to meet a confidant.How depressed is he?Second Uncle and the others, have they considered him?
The second uncle was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but in front of the second aunt, he only dared to give his cousin a hard look, and didn't dare to say anything wrong with him.Otherwise, once you say it, you will anger the second aunt, and that will be troublesome.

So no matter whether the cousin wants silver taels, fancy clothes, or jade pendants, the second uncle and second aunt will try their best to comply with the cousin's request.

The second uncle and his husband and wife are idlers, and after the second uncle left the academy, they really have no source of income.

So where did the second uncle and the others get the money they gave to my cousin?
It is not from the hands of the people in the long room.

As soon as my cousin has some money, he will go to sit on the painting boat, drink, listen to music, and chat with some dignitaries.

He thought that only in that way can he show his noble status, which is different from ordinary men.

But the guest officials who went to listen to the music on the painting boat not only had to give money for tea or drinks, but also to give money to the singers.

My cousin is very disdainful to ordinary singing girls, but he has a special liking for H Kui Wanmei, that excellent singing girl.

It's just like Wan Mei, even if the cousin gave it to the female shopkeeper once, he would be rewarded with ten taels of silver.He could only sit in the outer room of the private room, under the supervision of several strong men, and see Wan Mei's figure standing beside the carved wooden bed through the door curtain and layers of veils.

It is so graceful.

Ling cousin only saw her once, and felt pity for Wan Mei, and wanted to take her away from that noisy place immediately.For the rest of his life, he was only by his side.

But as soon as my cousin was about to stand up, he was pinned down on the seat by several strong men who supervised him, making him unable to move.

"Mr. Gu, don't forget that you have an appointment with our shopkeeper. Please also respect our Miss Wan, and keep your promise!" The burly man glanced at Gu Rongdong coldly. ,road.

Cousin Gu Rongdong could only continue to sit.

But sitting in the outside room watching Wan Mei only gave him a cup of tea, and he was not even allowed to stay in the outside room.

The cousin felt aggrieved: ten taels of silver, you are not allowed to take a closer look!
Want to eat people, is this?
After the cousin returned to the inn, Wan Mei's graceful figure was all in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.So late at night, I was still tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep because I missed Wan Mei.

A few days later, my cousin asked Dad Zhu to take a message to his second uncle who was far away in the countryside on the grounds that he was unwell and needed to be treated by a doctor. He had to give him 20 taels of silver for treatment.

So, as soon as the second uncle heard the news, he quickly gave 23 taels of silver, and asked the old man who was driving the ox cart to send it to his cousin.

That time, my cousin got 20 taels of silver, so he had the confidence to talk to Wan Mei face-to-face with the female proprietor of the [Lanyue] painting boat.

Yes, he no longer wants to look at the beauty through the curtain, but wants to see it up close, and even wants to listen to Wan Mei playing the piano and have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

"Wan Wan is not the proprietor of Lanyue. The real owner is Dong Yueer, a good sister she met when she was a singing girl in the imperial city."

Gu Yingying remembered that the words Feng Mei overheard at that time were these few sentences.

Later, Sister Xinlan also told her:
"I guess, maybe even Shen Ruyi's son, Gu Rongdong, doesn't know that the real female shopkeeper of Lanyue is actually the female shopkeeper of Yingyue Pavilion. That woman is called Dong Yueer. She is for money and does not hesitate to give it to others. Been a good singer for many years."

Gu Yingying only knows that Gu Rongdong is 21 years old and has not married a wife, because his second uncle has high hopes for him, hoping that he can get a good name in the exam earlier and make his family shine.

The second uncle once told his father that at least his cousin would marry a daughter-in-law after he went to Beijing to rush for the exam and become a prostitute.

But my cousin is a ignorant person. He doesn't like to study on weekdays, but he is very interested in traveling in the mountains and rivers, going on a boat and listening to music.

So whether my cousin can be a flower hunter, as long as the folks who have seen my cousin know it well.
