Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 289 It's Not a Forced Marriage, It's an Insult! (two more)

A bowl of rough yellow tea brought out those feelings that were dusty in the memory.At the side, seeing Jin Xi and Sun Yubao talking like this, Guo Hai's mother felt relieved.

Jin Xi took another sip of tea, looked up and saw Guo Hai's mother standing beside her with her hands holding the corners of her clothes, she couldn't help being surprised.

"Aunt Guo, why don't you sit down?" Jin Xi asked, could it be that there are not enough stools?As she said that, Jin Xi made a gesture to stand up and give way.

At the same time, Sun Yubao, Acai and Awang stood up and let Guo Hai's mother sit on the high stool.Mother Guo waved her hands again and again, saying that her waist and legs were sore from sitting every day, and she was more comfortable standing.

This sentence has a foreign language, that is, there are not enough stools, so Ah Cai asked Jin Xi to go to the Chenghuang Temple to see the carriage, Jin Xi nodded, and Ah Cai and Ah Wang left Guo's house together.When they came outside the courtyard, Ah Wang went to guard the carriage by himself, while Ah Cai stood outside the gate of Guo's courtyard with arms folded, waiting for Jin Xi.

Jin Xi and Sun Yubao sat on the long stool, and let Guo's mother sit down on the small back stool.Sun Yubao turned his head to look at the room on the left, and asked about Guo Hailai.

Guo's mother pressed her hands on her thighs, looked at Guo Hai's room, forced a smile at Sun Yubao and Jin Xi, and said, "I didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so I went out, saying I was going to the bookstore to copy books! "

"Then when will he come home?" Sun Yubao asked again.

Mother Guo froze for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I don't know, he left without telling me!"

Sun Yubao was speechless, Jin Xi paid attention to Guo Mu's expression, and asked softly, "Aunt Guo, did you have a dispute with Big Brother Zhenbang?"

Guo's mother looked at Jin Xi in surprise, smiled wryly, and said, "You are such a careful girl, you can see all of this."

Both Sun Yubao and Jin Xi were taken aback. Guo's mother and son depended on each other for life, and he was extremely filial to his mother.

"Aunt Guo, can you tell us what's going on? Of course, if you have difficulties, then forget it." Sun Yubao asked.

Mother Guo smiled wryly again, glanced at Sun Yubao and Jinxi, and said, "There is nothing you can't say, besides, you and my Zhenbang have such a good friendship, so I might as well tell you straight."

"We were upset about moving. Zhenbang found out that the rent here is cheap, there is a small market to buy vegetables in the east, and there are many people in Chenghuangmiao Street. When he doesn't go to the bookstore to copy books, he can do it I went to Chenghuangmiao Street to write letters and paint paintings to earn money. But, I don’t want to live here!” Guo’s mother said slowly, her eyes gloomy.

"Brother Zhenbang is also unable to do what he wants, which makes you wronged, auntie. Now he is running to the bookstore to copy books, and he is also helping people accept letters such as writing errands, while still concentrating on studying knowledge. In the not-too-distant future, Brother Zhenbang will definitely achieve something, and by then, Auntie, you will also enjoy the blessing." Sun Yubao comforted Guo's mother.

Mother Guo glanced at Sun Yubao, smiled wryly, shook her head slightly, and then nodded again.The gloomy look in his eyes has not faded.

Sun Yubao wanted to speak again to appease his good friend's mother, but seeing Jin Xi winking at him, he stopped talking knowingly.

"Aunt Guo, my uncle is only half right. I guess, Aunt Guo is definitely not the kind of person who cares about living poor or rich." Jin Xi smiled slightly, accepted the words gently, looked at Guo Hai's mother and said: "You You must feel that the environment in this area is not good, and you are afraid that it will hinder Brother Guo's study, so you want to change your residence, right?"

Guo's mother looked at Jin Xi in surprise, and felt more and more that she was really a delicate girl.Nodding repeatedly, he said: "Only you can understand my painstaking efforts, Zhenbang, he won't listen!"

"Brother Guo is full of filial piety. It's not that he doesn't listen, but that your thoughts are not integrated. When he comes home, you can discuss it with him. When we meet him later, we will talk to him." Jin Xi It is said that in ancient times, Meng's mother moved three times in order to choose the best neighbor for her son.

As an ordinary woman in the mountains, it is really rare for Guo's mother to have this insight.Jin Xi couldn't help feeling a little more admiration for Guo's mother.

Regarding the matter of moving, let’s stop here for the time being. The three sat in the yard drinking tea and talking while waiting for Guo Hai’s house to come.While talking, the topic turned to the previous matchmaker who was pushed out of the house by Guo's mother.

"There is a Zhao Yuanwai nearby. He has a good family and has a son and a daughter. Xu Zhenbang set up a table in front of the Town God's Temple two days ago to write letters and draw pictures for people. Then Zhao Yuanwai found out our family's identity through inquiring. situation."

"In the past two days, Zhao Yuanwai sent the matchmaker to our house every day, saying that he fell in love with my Zhenbang's good looks, and wanted to marry their second daughter to our Zhenbang as a daughter-in-law. He also promised a dowry of 50 taels of silver. Outside the county seat, there are still ten acres of land." Guo Mu said, when talking about this marriage, her face was not showing any joy.

"Brother Zhenbang, do you know about this?" Sun Yubao asked in surprise.

Mother Guo shook her head, and said: "Marriage matters, parents' order and matchmaker's words, how can I not go to inquire carefully, and just tell him the truth first?"

Jin Xi nodded, glanced at Sun Yubao, and found that he lowered his eyes slightly, and a touch of unnatural feeling flashed across his face, which could also be interpreted as guilty conscience.Jin Xi laughed secretly, Sun Yubao must have thought of the whip girl who stalked him, right?

Sun Yubao seemed to notice that Jin Xi's eyes were turning back and forth on him a few times. In order to hide his inner guilt, he raised his eyes seriously and quickly got back to the topic, asking Mother Guo: "Is it time to inquire carefully? Marriage matters are not child's play, don't be hasty!"

It was the first time for Jin Xi to see her little uncle showing such embarrassment, and she felt a little funny in her heart.Immediately, he let go of his eyes, and then asked: "Yes, Aunt Guo, how did you inquire about it?"

Guo Hai is full of knowledge, and looks even more talented. Even if he is wearing a patched and washed white gown, he is extremely elegant and handsome if he stops there casually.

If it is true that she has a relationship with the daughter of the Zhao family, she will get a helping hand from the old father-in-law, Zhao Yuanwai, to help Guo Hai's mother and son gain a foothold in the county, and even provide strong financial support for him to enter school and take scientific examinations.

When Guo's mother mentioned this, the angry expression that she had suppressed before could not be suppressed and surfaced again, she shook her head and frowned and said: "The matchmaker praised the second daughter of the Zhao family, only the sky can have such a daughter, I was a little tempted at first , don’t laugh at me for being greedy, mothers, who would be willing to see his son be so difficult? If there is such a good thing, it’s okay!"

Jin Xi and Sun Yubao shook their heads together, they don't know how to joke.In the families of princes, princes, dignitaries, and dignitaries, the marriages of their children are often used to form an alliance of interests, as a means of joining forces.This is especially true of royal marriages.

In the small Guo family who can’t even eat enough, Guo’s mother hopes that her son can relax a little bit. This is not greed, but out of maternal love.

"You don't need to inquire about it. Everyone in the neighborhood knows that the second daughter of Zhao Yuan's family passed by a family in front of her. She was divorced and returned to her mother's house. Now she is an old daughter raised at home. I heard that , she's still a stone girl..." Mother Guo felt a little regretful as soon as she said that, she felt that she was really stunned by the matchmaker, and she actually said this in front of the two people, embarrassing them both.

A trace of embarrassment really flashed across Sun Yubao's handsome face, he was a pure boy who had never even touched a woman's hand.The concept of the stone girl is also occasionally glimpsed from those scriptures, which is mysterious and tragic...

As for Jin Xi, she did not have the embarrassment and embarrassment expected by Guo's mother, nor did she have half-knowledge like Sun Yubao.Instead, she sat there quietly, frowning slightly, with an old-fashioned look in thought.

Stone girl?Jin Xi fell silent, this is the greatest joke the creator made on a woman.Stone girl?That means not being a real woman, not being able to enjoy the joy of being a woman, but also depriving her of the right to be a mother.

In this ancient era when unfilialism was the most common thing and having no descendants, even an old bachelor with a lot of children at home, unless he was looking for a woman to do housework and take care of the children, it was absolutely impossible to marry a stone girl.

It is a kind of deceit for Zhao Yuanwai to marry such a girl to Guo Hai.

"Mr. Zhao also said that if my family is willing to marry his second daughter, he will find a good school in the county for Zhenbang, my family, and get him a place to take the scientific examination. The two personal maids of the new wife will accompany her. Come here, it’s a dowry and a prepared house, but his family wants us Zhenbang to write a paper letter, vowing that no matter what happens in the future, even if we become prosperous, we will not divorce our wife!” After Guo’s mother finished speaking, her angry fingers started trembling.

Jin Xi and Sun Yubao also frowned, Zhao Yuanwai was clearly bullying, not only an insult, but also a kind of bullying.

Although Jin Xi's soul is from modern times, she has lived here for more than two years, and she can completely think from the perspective of Guo's mother and Sun Yubao.

The Zhao family wanted Guo Hai to swear that he would never divorce his wife. If Guo Hai's fortune was bad and his life was so ups and downs and poverty that he didn't even have the money to take concubines, then no matter if he was a concubine or a concubine, he would have no place for him, and he would have no heirs.

To put it another way, if Guo Hai Hanchuang studies hard, if he really achieves certain achievements in the future and takes concubines, then his children will always be concubines, not concubines.

In this ancient era, the richer, more powerful and powerful the family was, the more they cared about the word "concubine and concubine". If the concubine's mother did not allow it, some of the children born of the concubine could not even be included in the genealogy.So, isn't Guo Hai no heir?

There are three ways to be unfilial and having no descendants is the biggest. No wonder Guo's mother was so angry that she even pushed the matchmaker to the ground!
"Auntie did the right thing. It's a pity that I didn't know about the situation. Otherwise, I would have kicked the matchmaker a few times at the door! You are talking nonsense, what kind of matchmaker!" Sun Yubao said extremely displeased.
