The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 69
Matchmaker Gu came out of the Sun's residence, and seeing people looking around curiously from time to time in the neighbors of the Sun's residence, she tossed her handkerchief, and said loudly to Sun's residence, "Master Sun, Mrs. Sun, tomorrow the Gu family will send me to take care of you." If the matchmaker comes to exchange the Geng Tie, don’t go out. Although the eldest son has been divorced by the Gu family, there are many good girls in the capital, and I, the matchmaker, will definitely find a good family.” After finishing speaking, he smiled and met all the way. Those who didn't know each other greeted each other, saying that the son and daughter of the family had reached the age of marriage, and they would definitely find her as a matchmaker.

Ever since the matchmaker left, Mrs. Sun and Zhang have been scolding non-stop.

Sun Renhuai yelled and shut up, and after getting his ears clean, he said with a gloomy face, "Come here, tell the young master to meet me in the study."

The steward, Sun Laicai, trotted over and replied, "Master, the young master left the mansion early in the morning."

Sun Renhuai patted the table, "Take a few people out and bring that unworthy son back, immediately, immediately."

Two quarters of an hour later, Sun Jingdong trotted all the way back home and went straight to Sun Renhuai's study.

Seeing his son who was already out of breath after a few steps, Sun Renhuai slapped the table with a gloomy face, "Say, did you go to Li Mansion again?"

Sun Jingdong hurriedly denied, "No, father, my son didn't go to Li Mansion, but just attended the poetry meeting as promised by his classmates."

Sun Renhuai calmed down, "I asked you to think about it a few days ago, why the ancient mansion that lost Gu Yunhu can survive in the capital safely, have you thought of the answer?"

"Father, my son has thought about it carefully. In less than two years, the ancient mansion will have no place to stand in the capital. The theory of safe survival is not credible."

"You idiot, it would be a different scene if the Gu family didn't have Gu Yunfu, who has been eating inside and out. Do you think that Gu Yunfu would end well after he did so many things that bullied his younger brother's orphans? Those brothers of Gu Yunhu, you have to Those inconspicuous people who have been favored by Gu Yunhu, they are all staring at them with wide eyes! They are all waiting to clean up Gu Yunhu! You fool who only looks at the surface." Sun Renhuai roared angrily.

Sun Jingdong was baffled by the yelling, "Father, what are you talking about?"

Sun Renhuai stared at his son with hatred for iron and steel, and stabilized his emotions: "Look at the servants of the ancient mansion, who is not a wounded soldier who retired from the army. And look at the servants taken in by the ancient mansion, they are not the wives of soldiers who died on the battlefield. They are also their relatives. Everyone in the army admires the act of taking in these wounded soldiers who have nowhere to go, homeless soldiers or relatives of soldiers who died in the line of duty, but no one can do it. The ancient mansion is getting poorer and poorer now, But the reason for this situation is not just that Gu Ye's mistress is weak and useless, it also includes Gu Yunfu's taking advantage of the fire and the fact that the Gu Mansion still followed the rules of Gu Yunhu's life."

Sun Jingdong was extremely shocked, "Rules?"

"Every year, the Gu Mansion takes out a sum of money to subsidize or resettle the wounded soldiers who have retired from the battlefield. It is like this every year, and it has never changed in the past five years. It is said that when a person dies, nothing is left. But the ancient Yunhu is different, even if he is dead, no matter how poor the ancient mansion is, his prestige is still there. Even if the Gu Ye family is nothing, even if the current ancient mansion does not have a master who can support the scene, it seems that anyone can step on two But look, in the past five years, except for Gu Yunfu who eats meat, except for your mother who stupidly went up and stepped on two feet, who else would dare to do this?"

"But……"

"Gu Yunfu is fine for the time being because he is Gu Yunhu's brother. Your mother stepped on it but it's fine. Do you need me to explain the reason?"

"Father, what do you mean..."

"Your mother is Gu Qingshu's future mother-in-law. Even though there are many people who are dissatisfied with your mother's behavior, they endured it for Gu Qingshu's sake. Jingdong, what do you think will happen to our Sun family if this marriage ends? The end? Don't underestimate those little people, let alone the loyalty of the remnant soldiers who have been funded by the ancient mansion."

The sun was shining brightly outside, but Sun Jingdong was breaking out in cold sweat.

Seeing his son frightened like that, Sun Renhuai sighed, and said resolutely: "Hurry up and break ties with the Li family. If you dare to meet Li Haitang again, for the sake of the entire Sun family, I would rather break your leg."

The matchmaker Gu Siniang came out of the Sun Mansion and went to the Gu Mansion to meet Su's mother.She explained in detail what she said when she arrived at the Sun's family and what the Sun family's reaction was.When she spoke, she was well-behaved, and she looked directly at Mama Su, without looking or glancing randomly at all.She guessed that the person sitting behind the screen must be Miss Gu who caused a sensation in the capital to avenge her younger brother.

Mother Su graciously invited Matchmaker Gu to have tea and snacks, and said "I'm tired".

At this time, the handsome and lovable little fish turned out from behind the screen, stuffed a purse into Gu Matchmaker's hand, and said with a smile: "The master said, I have to trouble Gu Matchmaker to worry about changing the Geng Tie tomorrow."

Matchmaker Gu squeezed the purse calmly, and realized that what was in it was not copper coins, but a tael of broken silver. She happily accepted it, and then got up to say goodbye to Mama Su.Everyone knows that this purse is a small thing, and there will be a separate reward after the event is completed.

A reward of one tael of silver is not much for a wealthy family, but it is not much for a poor ancient mansion known throughout the capital.Matchmaker Gu is naturally aware of the embarrassment of the ancient mansion, and she thought she would get a reward of four or five slings, but the reward she got exceeded expectations, which is naturally gratifying.Besides, this is compared with the wealthy but stingy and stingy Sun Mansion, the one or two pieces of silver is definitely a surprise and even more popular.

As soon as Matchmaker Gu left, Gu Qiang ordered someone to close the corner door and the back door tightly.The door didn't open at all, so naturally there was no talk of closing it again.

Not long after, two carriages came outside the closed door of the ancient mansion. A steward knocked on the door, but no one answered.The steward continued to knock, "Open the door, there is a visitor, open the door quickly."

They knocked and yelled at the door again and again, attracting the attention of the gatekeepers of the left and right mansions.

There was a boy beating the curtain of the carriage, and Sun Renhuai showed his face, frowning and asked, "What's going on?"

Sun Laicai reported: "My lord, I don't know what happened to this mansion. The gate is closed and no one answers."

Sun Renhuai's eyes fell on the eldest son's face, "Go knock the door."

Sun Jingdong was unwilling in every way, but he didn't dare to disobey. He stepped forward and asked the boy to knock on the door. He reported the door of his house, "Junior Jingdong, I will bring my sister to your house to visit my aunt. If there is any trouble, I will also look at Haihan."

The door was silent, and still no one answered.Sun Jingdong's face turned dark, as did Sun Renhuai's.

The young servant took the trouble to slap on the heavy vermilion lacquered wooden door and knock on the iron ring on the door.

Sun Jingdong looked back at Sun Renhuai, Sun Renhuai snorted coldly and threw down the curtain.

The sun is rising higher and higher, and the sun at noon in late summer and early autumn is no less capable of drying people than the sun in midsummer.Several servants took turns knocking on the door and yelling, their palms were flushed, their voices were about to smoke, but it was still quiet inside the gate of the ancient mansion.
