After traveling to ancient times, I picked up a sick husband

Chapter 56 Not the Same (Second Update)

After Gu Yunjie finished drying her clothes, she was about to go home, when she saw Liu Yuehong looking at her, as if she wanted to go forward but didn't dare to do so.

"What's wrong?" She raised an eyebrow.

Liu Yuehong took a few steps forward boldly, looked around, made sure that no one was looking at her, and whispered to Gu Yunjie, "Xiaojie, I want to tell you something, let's go to your house and talk about it."

Gu Yunjie glanced at her.

She is not very familiar with the girl in front of her.

Meeting the worried eyes of the other party, nodded: "Come in."

Liu Yuehong sat on the opposite side of Gu Yunjie uneasily, thinking about whether to say this, but if she didn't say it, she was afraid that she wouldn't have the chance to say it in the future.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Xiaojie, I followed them to bully you once before, so I apologize first." Liu Yuehong kept twisting the corner of her skirt without knowing where she put her hands: "I have thought about this matter, and only You can say it alone, but I don’t know who to tell it to, except you, because they are all afraid of Grandpa Lizheng.”

Liu Yuehong's voice was full of tears.

"Last night, I heard Lizheng tell my parents that he wants to give me to some son in the county as a concubine. There are many children in my family. If my parents want to sell me to someone as a concubine, I can't say What."

"Then what do you want me to do when you tell me about this?"

"I don't know. I don't even know who that person is. If I ask you to help me find out, I'm sure I won't be able to find out anything. I just think that if I really leave here, I'm afraid it won't be easy if I want to come back. .”

She has three younger sisters.After the father and mother gave birth to four daughters, they gave birth to a younger brother. In their hearts, the son is the most important thing.

"Introduced by Li Zheng?" Gu Yunjie had an intuition that something was wrong.

"If it wasn't for Grandpa Lizheng's introduction, where would my parents know any young master in the county? The other party is willing to offer a bride price of ten taels of silver." Liu Yuehong's voice became softer and weaker.

A bride price of ten taels of silver is already quite a lot for the people in the village.The betrothal gifts of ordinary people are only five or six taels of silver.

"If you know what the other person's last name is, I can help you find out. You don't even know what the other person's last name is, so it's hard for me to inquire about it. Even if you find out clearly, what can you do? If the other party is not a good person, Can you go against your parents' wishes and run away from marriage?" Gu Yunjie was not sure for a moment whether Liu Yuehong asked her to tell her about it, whether it was her own idea or Li Zheng's.

Liu Yuehong bit her lips: "Escape from marriage is definitely not allowed. If my parents find out, they might beat me to death. I can't do anything, just want to come and talk to you. They all said you are better, your brain is better than yours. Smarter before. Thinking of apologizing to you before I leave the village."

"Things from the hour have passed, and I didn't take it to heart. If you can find out who it is, I will help you find out."

Liu Yuehong got up: "Forget it, just let it be fate, I can't change anything after finding out. Xiaojie, sometimes I really envy you, you have a father and grandma who love you."

To say that I am not envious is a lie.

When Xiaojie was still a fool, Uncle Gu and Grandma Gu regarded her as a treasure in their hands.For such a big event as retiring the engagement, it was Xiaojie who decided on her own, and the parents at home didn't say anything wrong.

But there are many sisters in her family, it is impossible to get the favor of her parents, who made her not a son.

If she was born a man, the son her parents expected, she would be treated differently.

Liu Yuehong went back.

Gu Yunjie looked at the back of her going back, and whispered to Chu San who had just come back to fetch water: "Do you think there is something strange about this?"

"It's a little bit. Li is just fine, why did such a thing come up, maybe, he is helping Liu Zihao to make a road, and using a girl from the village as a favor."

"Let me guess, the Liu family intends to give Liu Yuehong to Chen Guangshi. Before Liu Zihao made Chen Guangshi lose face, the Liu family will definitely find a way to make up for it. Liu Yuehong's appearance is not bad, and she is one of the best in the Liu family village."

"The Liu family really worked hard to catch up with the Chen family." Chu San dismissed Gu.

"Then Chen Guangshi is not a good person." Gu Yunjie told Chu San about the things he found out from shopkeeper Hu: "As long as the girl he likes, if the other party refuses, she will rob and threaten her in various ways. Mr. Kang turned a blind eye to these behaviors and didn't care about them at all."

"Are you going to save her?"

"It also depends on whether she is smart or not. As you can see, this is her parents' decision. What can I, an outsider, do to help her?" Her own parents were willing to send her there, so why would she be reluctant to be an outsider.

"We can observe this matter secretly." Chu San said softly: "We and the Liu family will face each other sooner or later, don't you think so?"

Gu Yunjie nodded.

Chu San took the water and went out.

Seeing that it was still early, Gu Yunjie decided to go to the mountain.

It is always right to rely on the mountains and eat the mountains, there are many treasures in the mountains, and it is always right to go around if you have nothing to do. If you can harvest a few century-old ginseng or something, it will be perfect.

Due to time constraints, I couldn't go far. I harvested two hares, some common medicinal materials, and a lot of mushrooms.

When I got home, I put the wild rabbit in a bamboo cage and started cooking and washing vegetables.

……

During the meal, Gu Xiangxiang told her parents what Liu Ziyu told her.

"The Liu family really meant to ask you to get married in advance and take care of your father-in-law?" Xu Lifen's expression was not very good.

"Ziyu said that Zihao is busy with his studies and doesn't have time to take care of his family. His father is inconvenient to go to the field now, and he is injured. The family cannot be left alone, and the work in the field cannot be left alone." Gu Xiangxiang looked at the food in front of her, and also I lost my appetite.

She is happy to let her marry Liu Zihao.When she thought of serving her father-in-law as soon as she passed, she couldn't be happy.

She was thinking that Zihao would become an official's wife after he obtained his fame in the examination, but he would be treated like a servant girl as soon as he married.

Gu Haikun is not at home now, he went to Xiulei Gong Temple like other villagers.

"They haven't made it clear yet, so let's pretend we don't know about it. It was agreed before, and Zihao will get married after he wins a scholar. There is no reason to advance the wedding date." Xu Lifen thought of something, and glared at Gu Xiangxiang: "You Said why are you so unlucky, before you even passed the door, father-in-law thought of you and took care of you."

"Mother, if you want to blame this, you can blame Gu Yunjie. I heard from Ziyu that the reason why Zihao's father became like this is because of Gu Yunjie."

"Your youngest son Yu Ziyu, she is not a good person." Xu Lifen thought of something: "It would be fine if Liu Zihao passed the exam, but if he didn't pass the exam, you can wait to suffer with them."

When Gu Xiangxiang heard this, her face collapsed: "Mom, you have to help me."

"During this time, if you have nothing to do, go to the Liu family instead. You can't pretend to be sick, let the Liu family know that you are weak, so that you don't get sick and give Liu Jiaqi."

Gu Xiangxiang's eyes lit up: "Mother, it has to be you."

……

"Xiaojie, come here quickly." Gu Lanshi opened the bag and saw a layer of white on the new seeds bought by Xiaojie, and happily called Gu Yunjie: "It's sprouted, it's sprouted."

Xiaojie was watching Chu San peel the rabbit skin. The scene was too bloody. Hearing grandma's call, she ran over immediately.

Take a closer look, it really sprouted.

"Grandma, what's the matter, they didn't lie to us, right?" Gu Yunjie wanted to try it out, but was slapped by Gu Lanshi: "It looks like it can be sown tomorrow. You two will follow me to sow seeds tomorrow. "

The seeds sprouted, and Gu Lanshi began to soak the second wave of seeds.Twenty catties of seeds are only enough for two acres of paddy fields.

The family has five acres of paddy fields and needs [-] catties of seeds.

As soon as Qinghua came in, she saw grandma and grandson surrounding the seeds: "Are you rice seeds? I don't think it's the same as what we usually plant."

The grains are fuller and longer, golden and very beautiful.

"This is a new variety that Xiaojie bought from the county. She said that the yield is higher than the seeds we are planting now. I plan to try it." Gu Lanshi did not hide it.

"The yield of this seed is really higher than what we are planting now?"

"That's what the shopkeeper said, and I don't know." Gu Yunjie smiled embarrassedly: "I don't have much experience, and I believe it when they say that. My grandma said, you can try it. If you don't get any harvest, buy it." The same goes for several months of rations."

"I think this kind of seed is plump and very beautiful. Xiaojie, do you have any left of this kind of seed? I want to try planting some too."

"How much do you plan to plant? I'm soaking the seeds. If you need them, I'll soak them for you."

"Let me plant one acre, is there still so much?" One acre of land is about ten catties of seeds. If one acre is planted, even if there is no harvest, the family still has a few more acres of grain to harvest.

"Okay." Gu Lan asked Xiaojie to weigh another ten catties of seeds.
