Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 592: Stumped
When Liu heard this, her heart trembled. If he was not an outsider, then what big deal could he be talking about? Her eyes couldn't help but fall on her sister-in-law's face.

Aunt Gu was urged by her mother and didn't know where to start. Seeing her sister-in-law looking at her, she subconsciously shook her head and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

With a "pa" sound, Old Mrs. Gu slapped her eldest daughter in annoyance.

Aunt Gu was slapped so hard that she gasped and laughed angrily: "Am I your biological daughter or your enemy? I have never seen you hit your sister on a daily basis."

"What's the matter? You're so fragile that I can't even move?"

"I am a grandmother after all."

When Liu heard this, she didn't have time to think about it for a moment. The way mothers and daughters get along is different in different places in the world. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law rarely have a good conversation with each other.

While the mother and daughter had not yet parted on bad terms, she quickly invited her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to move to the warm room together.

Like the upper room in the main courtyard of the west wing, there is also a warm room suite here, but it lacks a fireplace and platform. However, it has a large kang by the window and two rows of six chairs.

Aunt Gu also wanted to go in and talk more, but the hall on her second brother's side was very large, and with few people around, even if someone spoke a little louder, there would be an echo, so it was really not a place to discuss serious matters.

The three of them moved into the warm room and did not enter the inner bedroom.

Liu first waited for Old Lady Gu to sit on the big kang by the window, and then she and her sister-in-law took off their shoes and sat on the kang, surrounding a kang table on either side.

After the maids served tea and snacks and left, Aunt Gu glanced around, then withdrew her gaze and said with a smile, "Come back, I think the fortune teller was talking about my second brother.

This is the blessing of having children and grandchildren. Even Erlang is not bad. All my old sisters praised the prescriptions written by Erlang, the young doctor, for being effective and cheap. "

Liu knew that her elder sister-in-law was referring to the fortune-telling incident that happened when the twin brother and sister were young and went to their maternal home to pick up Old Lady Gu who had quarreled with Old Man Gu and returned to her mother's home.

This was not a good topic, and in front of her mother-in-law, she could only smile and said, “The main thing is that your second brother can teach children, can choose children, and children are happy to listen to him.

Look, I am also enjoying the good life, my nephews and their wives are also filial, you and your eldest brother-in-law also have children and grandchildren, and your life will only get better and better in the future."

"Haha... I appreciate your words. I like to hear them." Gu Dagu picked up the teacup and said, "Your eldest brother-in-law and his second brother's wife also like Sanniu."

Is that all?

Liu was surprised and waited for what was to come.

"This morning, when it was still light, my second aunt took me to burn incense. On the way back, she mentioned Sanniu again and wanted me to come back and listen to what my third brother and his wife had to say.

She gave birth to two sons and three daughters. Now there is only one son and one daughter who are not engaged. The one she wants to marry is this son.

It just so happened that the third girl was two years old. She had gone to school for two years, could write and do math, and she also learned the dyeing craft from her uncle. Now she has become a master in a dyeing workshop.

Our family's financial situation may not be as good as that of my fourth brother's wife's family, but to be honest, the child is not much worse than my fourth brother's wife's nephew, and now he gets one or two taels of silver per month.

There are twelve taels of silver here every year, plus the New Year holidays, the boss will also give rewards and gifts. This child is considered to be the best among his cousins.

As far as I know, there were many families eyeing this child's marriage proposal before, but the child's second aunt only had two sons, so she was not in a hurry at all.

So, she said that if my third brother and his wife agreed to the marriage, she would buy a house with a shop in the town for her eldest son, like my house.

Regardless of whether her son and his wife live in the town or not, they will have a new yard in the village and 20 mu of land. Yesterday, he revealed all his family assets to me, which shocked me. Not only me, but even your eldest brother-in-law didn't know that they had accumulated so much wealth.

She also told me clearly that she was attracted by the good relationship between your two families. With you and my second brother as my second uncle and second aunt, her son won't have to worry about being bullied by this marriage.

Besides, her third brother and his wife are diligent and conscientious, and Wulang and his siblings get along well with each other, so she doesn't worry about whether Sanniu can work for Sanya after she gets married.

She also told me directly that she didn't care how much dowry her daughter-in-law would have, after all, she was her brother's sister-in-law, and she didn't think about taking advantage of you.

Although her two sons are not rich, they are still capable of supporting the family. The problem is that we ordinary people don’t know who to turn to when we are in trouble.

She just wants your second brother and you two to be kind. Liu Lang is a prospective juren. As long as her eldest son gets along well with you, she will have less worries with you as her support.

I know what kind of person she is. She is not the kind of person who would make trouble. She doesn't talk much on weekdays, but she usually does what she says.

She is not the type of person who likes to take advantage of others. If I give her a piece of meat, she will find an opportunity to give me a basket of eggs in return. The children also like this second aunt very much.

Just like you, she has only two sons, and she and her husband don’t favor any of them over any other. They often say that everyone is a member of the same family.

It was not difficult to be a daughter-in-law in her family. Her eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to two girls in succession, which made her mother-in-law very anxious, but she remained calm.

So after thinking it over, I decided to come back today to first listen to what you and my second brother have to say, and then listen to what my third brother and his wife think."

Liu found herself stumped. After a moment's silence, she said, "How is the child? I only heard you say that the child can write and count, and has a skill.

What about his height, appearance, and how he behaves? To tell you something that my fourth sister-in-law didn't hear, her nephew from her mother's side is a bit short and looks average.

Sanniu is the best looking of the two sisters, and she won’t have trouble finding a good husband. We can’t be so picky and end up with someone who’s not as tall as her and has pockmarks on his face—”

Aunt Gu couldn't help laughing out loud, and when she thought of her second brother showing off because he was tall and good-looking and was favored by his wife, she became even happier.

"Miss."

Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes.

"I know, I know. Without pockmarks, he is not as tall as our Erlang and Liulang, but he is not short either. He is half a head taller than Sanniu.

This child is a dyer, his hands are not very pretty, and he is dark-skinned, but he is an honest and well-behaved child, and his life could not be better."

In other words, he is a child who makes up for his shortcomings with hard work? Liu thought about it again, but still couldn't remember what the candidate her sister-in-law mentioned looked like.

After thinking about it, she decided to keep it a secret since her sister-in-law was not like other relatives.

"So, it's a good match. Just the other day, I heard the kid's father mention that my third brother and his wife fell in love with the second son of the Changgen brothers."

"Who?"

"Zhou Changgen from Hexi of our village is the bricklayer who helped Sanniu build her workshop and house. His second son is also two years older than Sanniu.

The third brother and his wife felt that the husband family that the eldest girl had found was still a little far away. From what the child's father said, they are now waiting for his family to come and propose marriage, and the betrothal gifts will be given before the New Year."
