Peasant woman's day

Chapter 107

Ten taels of silver a piece of cloth, for a child to wear, still crying in front of me and seeking accomplices?Your second brother Gu has a tight mouth, but the eldest Gu is an honest person, and Mrs. Gu is on good terms with Fu Rong.You're still doing it to bluff others, but if you come here to bluff me, let's pretend to be a little bit better.

In the evening, Furong brought supper to Gu Simei as usual.As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Gu Simei resting her chin on her hand, staring at the candle in front of her with dazed eyes.Fu Rong coughed, walked forward, put down the tray, and squeezed her arm: "Fourth Sister, why don't you wear big clothes. You're a big girl now, so why don't you take care of your body?"

When Gu Simei heard Fu Rong's voice, she stood up quickly, her face slightly embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, I didn't pay attention for a while, so I forgot."

Fu Rong had already gone to the clothes rack next to her to get her big padded jacket, and put it on her: "Eat quickly." As she said, Fu Rong fiddled with the brazier a few times with the tongs, seeing how much brighter the room was. up.

"Sister-in-law three, I..." Fourth sister Gu scooped up a lump of dough, but didn't put it in her mouth. She seemed to be struggling for a while, but when she raised her head, she stopped talking.

Fu Rong just pretended not to understand, and looked at her: "En?" Zhong Lin was about to take the boy's exam, and now is the critical period of preparation for the exam, if he passed it, he would be a scholar, Gu Simei was probably worried.Furong didn't say anything, it's up to her how she treats it.

Gu Simei blushed and put the bowl down: "Sister-in-law, you taught me not to tell others about this, so I never dare to show it in front of others. When we were going home that day, I happened to meet him .We went to the old place and met secretly for a while, but, but we didn't do well." The more Gu Simei said, her face turned redder, and she lowered her head.

At least she listened to her own words.Fu Rong straightened her clothes and pressed her shoulders: "Sit down, I'll comb your hair for you."

Gu Simei sat down obediently.Fu Rong took the comb, opened her hair, and said softly: "A man, besides a woman, has a family and a country in his heart. And a woman, it seems that she has nothing else to do except the one-third of an acre of land." gone."

Gu Simei nodded shyly, and looked at Furong from the bronze mirror.

Furong shook her head slightly: "It's not true. The reason why a family is called a home is that both men and women are indispensable. A woman should not only be good to others, but also to be good to herself. Life is first and foremost a matter between two people. , and then there are family matters. If you really take charge of a family in the future, the food, clothing, and dealing with people in this family will all be in your own thoughts."

Gu Simei immediately became embarrassed, twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands: "Sister-in-law, I, I can't do it."

"No one is born to be able to do it." Fu Rong kept moving her hands, "You have to have a steelyard in your heart, think about whether you can live in your heart. Sometimes you need to be right with people, but most of the time, it's still right about things. it is good."

Gu Simei nodded with a half understanding.

After two days, Gu Sanbo really left and came to the county seat.Furong was about to go out that morning when she saw a carriage parked at the door of Mrs. Gu's house.The carriage can be seen at a glance as the kind of rented public carriage.As soon as the car door opened, Gu Sanbo bent over and came out.

Gu Qingchen and Fu Rong went up to meet her.Aunt Gu San followed Gu Sanbo out of the car, her hair was neatly brushed, her clothes were half-new, the floor was very clean, and there were still creases on the clothes.Aunt Gu San nodded to Furong, and teased Yuanyuan again.Yuanyuan greeted him obediently, and Gu Sanbo smiled: "This kid is smart."

Papa Gu and the others came out early when they heard the movement.Old man Gu came up and gave Gu Qingchen a piece of loose money: "Third brother, you go to the restaurant and order a table, come over for lunch today, and invite your godfather too. Let's have a drink A few cups."

Furong took a look at Gu's father's expression, and she should be happy with Mrs. Gu's affairs.It happened that there was no need to cook at noon, so Gu Qingchen and Furong still went to the street to buy some vegetables, and they had to eat at home in the evening, so Father Gu would definitely want to stay with Gu Sanbo and the others.

Gu Qingchen walked to a larger restaurant in the county to order a table, and happened to meet Steward Fan talking to the shopkeeper.Steward Fan was not surprised when he saw Fu Rong and the other two.Fu Rong just nodded at him and didn't say anything else.

The shopkeeper held the abacus in his hand, and showed it to Steward Fan: "Steward Fan, look, this is the total, right?"

"That's all. Don't go overboard with vegetables and the like. I'm inviting VIPs. If something goes wrong, you should consider it in your own mind." Steward Fan just glanced at it, and winked at the servant behind him. .The boy immediately took out an ingot of gold ingot and put it in the shopkeeper's hand.Butler Fan walked out without looking sideways.

But housekeeper Daofan took the car all the way back to the dealer, and entered through the back door.As soon as he entered the gate, several people surrounded him, asking for answers.Steward Fan glared at them: "Is there no rule? The young master sent me to do something, and I have to answer the call now. I don't have time now, so we can talk about it later in the evening."

Those people all retreated.Steward Fan then asked the boy to find out where Young Master Fan was now, and sat in the pavilion to rest by himself.While cupping tea, a young servant ran over panting, "Guard Fan, the young master is in the study."

"En." Steward Fan got up, straightened his clothes, and walked quickly to the study.Before entering the door, he adjusted his clothes.Knocking on the door lightly, he bowed and said, "Young Master."

"Come in." Young Master Fan said without any emotion.

Steward Fan went in, saluted first, and then reported everything about the table reservation just now.Young Master Fan nodded: "The people in the capital are naturally different than the people here. When the time comes, you will accompany them in person. Don't go on a business trip."

Steward Fan agreed, but he still hasn't retreated.Young Master Fan didn't raise his head, but his voice became cold: "But is there anything else?"

"Back to young master, when I was leaving, I met Boss Gu's family there." Steward Fan bent over again.

Young Master Fan raised his head suddenly, and asked after a while, "How is his child?"

Fan Guanjia said: "Look, little one, that child is growing very well, even taller than before."

Young Master Fan waved his hand: "Go down."

The door was gently closed, but Young Master Fan had no intention of reading any more and threw the book on the table.Her mind was full of Furong's pleading eyes that day, his hand stroking the lid of the teacup, why could she be so willing?It turned out that a house as big as my own was not comparable to those few thatched houses.Does that indifferent look look like that of a maid?Perhaps, compared with wealth, freedom is more important to her.

Old man Gu was very happy today, he took Gu Sanbo to drink a lot of wine, old man Gu persuaded him a few times, that's all.In the evening, Fu Rong helped Mrs. Gu settle down the family of Gu Sanbo. Mrs. Gu's back was sore, so she went back to the house to rest.Fu Rong walked to the courtyard, but saw Old Gu sitting in the courtyard alone, lost in thought.Seeing Fu Rong, she quietly entered the room, pulled Gu Qingchen who was talking to Boss Gu and the others, and pointed outside.Gu Qingchen understood, found an excuse and went out.

Gu Qingchen gently draped the big clothes on Old Gu's shoulders: "Father, it's still a bit cold at night. Why are you sitting here alone? If you smoke too much, it's not good for your health. "

Old man Gu took a sip, and said, "I've been used to it for decades, so it's not like you can stop smoking if you don't smoke. Third, sit down."

Gu Qingchen sat down as he said.

Father Gu wanted to take another sip, and wanted to go to what Gu Qingchen said just now, so he put down the cigarette stick: "Your third uncle and the others have settled down?"

"It's settled. My sister-in-law and my daughter-in-law have cleaned up the house. I boiled two large pots of water and brought two buckets of cold water in." Gu Qingchen replied.

Father Gu nodded and sighed: "Your wife is a thoughtful person. Your mother has been a housekeeper for so many years, but she can't compare to her meticulousness." The house is well-managed, and when I think about Mrs. Gu, my eyes can't help but darken again.

Gu Qingchen said with a smile: "Father, we are your sons. When you are free, come to me and I will have a drink with you. Sleep when you are drunk, who can say anything?"

Old man Gu smiled and waved his hands: "Forget it, my bones are old too. Two or three catties of wine used to be enough for me to quench my thirst. Your third uncle came here today to find a marriage for your elder sister. He came to ask me What do you think?"

Gu Qingchen looked at Father Gu silently.A wry smile appeared on Old Gu's face: "I'm really afraid. I'm afraid that if she gets married, her temper won't change, and she will make a fuss again. The fourth girl hasn't talked about her in-law's family yet. If it's because of her What can I do if I delay the fourth girl?"

Fu Rong listened to Gu Qingchen's retelling of Gu's father's words, and said with a smile: "Father agrees. I'm afraid, not only the elder sister's matter, but also the fourth sister, someone came to ask. That's why father said that. "Papa Gu doesn't care about family affairs, when did he mention Gu Simei's matter?Someone must have gotten the message.

Gu Qingchen has always listened to his wife's words very much, especially when it comes to these human relationships.After hearing this, he remembered the matter between Gu Simei and that child from the Zhong family, and said, "I just don't know if Simei has changed her mind."
