The first wife of the strongest peasant daughter

Chapter 108 Make the Gu Family Bow Their Heads
Mrs. Cui was really tired of waiting, she wanted a daughter-in-law before, and she took it again and again, but it was still delayed until the end of this year.My son has been waiting for three years!She also pressured Gu Ranniang not to let her marry her!His father has been rescued, and the family has made so many credits that they can earn tens of thousands of taels a year. She suspects that their family has other small plans and wants to get another high!

It's because Cui is afraid of being rejected, and is annoyed that they don't value their family, and they depend on them for everything when they get married, and they are too used to it!Seeing that Gu Chuhan still dared to show his face, he was even more annoyed, "Jingzhi Capital has been waiting for three years, and it doesn't make sense to wait any longer! You don't have any other ideas, right? Why don't you seize the opportunity and get married quickly! Jing If one person is over there, it is better to have someone to serve him!"

Although the status of women in this feudal society is low, and when they get married, they have to serve their parents-in-law and their husbands, but Cui's questioning made Gu Chuhan suddenly displeased, "The wedding date has been set long ago, what other ideas do you have?"

Because there were quite a few people who talked to her about their marriage, Mrs. Gu pushed them all away, and someone came to Cui Shi and wanted Cui Shi to keep her matchmaker. Naturally, they said a lot of good things, praising their family's vicious vision, and snatched such a good marriage early. , made a fortune!
Cui was very happy when she first started making money, but as time went by, she couldn't hear the words that their family relied on the Gu family to make money!Why does their family rely on the Gu family? If the Gu family didn't have her son and men beating those furniture, they would earn a lot of money!The furniture was made by her son and the man, so how much is their family divided! ?People will still be told to rely on them!
After being told several times that such a wealthy daughter-in-law might run away with others, Cui became more and more worried.The He family had a shareholding in the home furnishing store before, and she knew best how much money the Gu family made!
Looking at Gu Chuhan's seeming aloof, he was even more annoyed, "You just said that the wedding date will be advanced, will it work!?"

After all, she is Gu Ranniang's future mother-in-law. If she offends her, Gu Ranniang's life will not go well in the future. Gu Chuhan suppressed his anger, "If our family had other ideas, we would not have engaged with your family in the first place! One more thing, it's not good for my father to come back soon As soon as he got home, he rushed to marry the second sister, and our family will always be reunited for a while! Also, my grandma just has a wind evil in her body, and she will be fine after taking the medicine for a few days. If there is no existence, you can delay it!"

Her explanation made it difficult for Cui to say anything else, so she endured her anger and went home.

Seeing her come back with an ugly face, Huang Shengfan knew that there was nothing to say, so he sneered contemptuously.

Over there, three aunts and six wives asked Cui about the result of wanting a daughter-in-law again, and when they heard that there was no one, they felt sympathetic, "It's no wonder they are tyrannical, their family is no better than before, if you say it was high-ranked before, even your family can't get high! Who knew that you decided on their family! It’s nothing, and it’s good at first glance, but who told you to rely on her family to make a fortune! She must have a tough waist, and she must be superior!”

The other woman lowered her voice, "Let me see, do they really have other ideas?"

The Cui family was already on fire, but when another bucket of oil was poured on them, the anger became even hotter, "Huh! Other ideas? I don't even look at their family's background! It's fine if you don't have a mother, and your father is still a murderer! If it weren't for the fawning Man, where can I earn so much money! Why do I rely on them for my family, without my family Jingzhi and his father making furniture, they still can't afford to open a shop and earn so much money! It's not all my family's help!"

"Yeah! But who told their family to be related to power and earn a lot of money? Isn't this tyrannical! I don't think you, a mother-in-law, will ever enjoy the blessings of a mother-in-law. You have to look at your daughter-in-law's face and serve her daughter-in-law. !"

"I think so too! Otherwise, I've begged three or four times, but I just don't agree to get married! Speaking of her family, your family's Jingzhi is a good-looking talent, and his craftsmanship is good! How many daughters secretly like your family's Jingzhi!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Cui snorted angrily, and said proudly, "I'm not boasting about my family's Jingzhi, this Qingshan Town is really top-notch! He has been handsome since he was a child! Now he manages a shop and is still in the prefectural city of Wuchang Mansion. That's a lot of money! There are people who give him handkerchiefs and food!"

The two people who were talking complimented her again, "That's right! Jingzhi is nothing to worry about even marrying a young lady! Besides, with your family's current wealth, that is also a wealthy family! It is necessary to take a concubine, and it is just a shock to the Gu family. !” Then he praised He Jingzhi again and again.

Cui's heart felt better when she heard this, but she thought it was better to take a concubine for her son, after all, she didn't want this marriage to be dirty.The Gu family's tyranny is too hateful, and I definitely don't want to!She had other ideas in the first place, but if she really didn't want to be with their family, her son would blame her too!

Thinking of his son being eaten to death by them and carrying things with him every time, he became angry again.

Gu Chuhan is also asking Gu Ranniang to discuss. Every time she receives letters and things from He Jingzhi, her little daughter Huaichun is so happy. She is so busy with her daily work and stays up late every day to embroider wedding dresses, "If you want, Let's move up the wedding date!"

Gu Xianniang was with her in the embroidery workshop, she was pregnant again, Zhang Bolin was even more attentive, picked up and dropped off every day, and occasionally sent some snacks, Gu Raniang was always envious when she saw it.I can only look at the letters and things He Jingzhi gave her and miss him.But she is not an ignorant child, how can she get married in this period!She just shook her head, "The wedding date has been set long ago, and it will be on that day!"

Seeing that she was determined, Gu Chuhan nodded, "I'm a bit harsh today, wait until August [-]th, and then go to give gifts, and send them more!"

Gu Raniang responded, and went to boil medicine for Mrs. Gu, preparing to cook.

Rumors have spread everywhere, saying that Mrs. Gu is dying, and the He family wants to marry a daughter-in-law quickly, and they are very happy, but the Gu family disagrees!Xie's filial piety period has passed long ago. Although Mrs. Gu is a grandma, if she dies, she will definitely keep her filial piety based on her dedication to the three-bedroom family.The He family thought it was so thoughtful, why didn't they agree?

Everyone speculated, why the Gu family has become more developed, Gu Raniang is ready to climb high branches, and the Gu Chuhan brothers have not seen frequent trips to Fucheng!

The Wang family set up a stall in the town, and heard those rumors first, and knew without thinking that she couldn't get rid of the relationship with the He family, so she didn't dare to tell Mrs. Gu, but she told Gu Chuhan, "Although it's not a serious problem, it's not good anyway! "Remind her to be careful.

"I see." Gu Chuhan thought that even if Cui had some criticisms, the rumors spread would not spread everywhere.When getting medicine for Mrs. Gu, he passed by He's house and came to the door.

When Cui Shi first heard the rumors, she was also flustered, but then she thought, this is the truth!Otherwise, why didn't their family agree to get married! ?These people talked about it, maybe they had a guilty conscience, so they agreed!At that time, they will bow to his family!

Seeing Gu Chuhan coming, he was startled, "What are you doing here?"

"Those rumors outside." Gu Chuhan said, and put down the dried plums for her.

Mrs. Cui was displeased when she saw the handful of black dried vegetables. Every time their family bought them as gifts, they made so much money. Every time they came, they were worthless and not on the table. !Look down on their family!Pursing her lips, "I'm not talking nonsense! It's not what I said! Whenever our family wants a daughter-in-law to go there with a gift, they see it and make their own guesses, but it has nothing to do with me! You are still here to blame me coming?"

Seeing the anger in her eyes, Gu Chuhan explained, "I'm here because the dried plums at home are ready, and I'll give you some. By the way, I would like to remind you, don't be taken advantage of by someone with a heart, and fall into other people's danger! There is more than one person I don't want to see you guys have a good time, I want to ruin this marriage, and let our two families divorce!"

Cui frowned, thinking about it, she pursed her lips and didn't say much.

"My grandma's condition is getting better, and the medicine has been changed. I still have to go get the medicine, so I'll leave first!" Gu Chuhan finished greeting, turned around and rushed to get the medicine.

Cui thought about it for a long time, and she definitely didn't want to retire, but she really couldn't bear the Gu family's superiority over them. After Gu Ranniang married, how could she respect and serve her as a mother-in-law!

"You have to overwhelm them! You can't let them stand sideways!"

She inquired carefully, she had to put on a show, let Gu Raniang know who is superior and who is inferior before she enters the door, and be obedient and obedient after she gets married!Then when I received a letter from He Jingzhi asking about the situation at home, I told him that it was nothing, that Mrs. Gu had already recovered from her illness, and then withheld the things that came back a little later.

Gu Chuhan didn't know it at all, and was greeting the Xie family at home.

Xie Gaozhi and Xie Dalang, Xie Yuanzhi and Xie Erlang said that they only knew that Mrs. Gu was seriously ill after hearing rumors, and they came to visit.

Mrs. Gu's condition has gradually improved, and she no longer lies on the kang, she can get off the kang and walk around.But seeing that they brought Xie Dalang and Xie Erlang with them, they knew that they were not visiting her, so they thanked her with a smile, "It's really troublesome my uncle and uncle!"

"No trouble, no trouble!" Xie Yuanzhi said with a smile.

Xie Gaozhi was impatient to talk to them, so he directly asked Gu Chuhan about his achievements, and then asked Gu Dalang about rushing for the exam.

"My elder brother has already gone there ahead of time! He said he was going to familiarize himself with the environment and communicate with his classmates and other students, so he left a few days ago." Gu Chuhan said directly.

Hearing that he had passed by a few days earlier, Xie Dalang couldn't help frowning, "Didn't you say they were all together?"

"I didn't know you were going to participate in Qiu Wei too!" Gu Chuhan said in a huff.

Seeing that she didn't care, Xie Gaozhi couldn't help being angry, "Da Lang and the others are going to participate in Qiu Wei for the first time, and they are not familiar with anything, so you just go with them and help out!"

Let her follow the exam?Gu Chuhan raised his eyebrows, "What?"

"Of course it's for the examination room!" Xie Gaozhi stared.

Xie Yuanzhi quickly explained with a smile, "We haven't talked to any powerful people, and we don't know anything about it. You know a lot, and you know how to talk and do things. It's the autumn harvest again, and we can't leave home. You Just help me and follow your cousin over there. Of course, we must pay for the money we manage by ourselves!"

This is the best way that Xie Yuanzhi thought of for a few days.Gu Chuhan's surname is Gu, and the credit also belongs to the old Gu's family, and the children of the old Gu's family are also the children of the old Gu's family, they can't get it at all!I just wanted to let Gu Chuhan go with me to catch up with the exam, not to mention the food and lodging back and forth on the way would save some money, with him following me, I could move my joints over there, get some money, and see that his family just donated the credit for the loom, The examiner will also pay more attention to his son. It will be easy to pass this Qiuwei exam!
Although Xie Yuanzhi was a little uncertain, Gu Chuhan was more likely to follow him!
Just to allow Gu Lingshan to return home safely from exile, she spent nearly 2000 taels of silver, "How much silver are you planning to spend?"

Xie Yuanzhi smiled embarrassingly.

Xie Gaozhi had already said with a straight face, "You think it's uncles and cousins ​​who make a lot of money, and you never think about our family! We can only dig out food, save money and deduct that little bit, which is better Come to your uncle! In short, our family doesn’t have much money, so we scraped together 30 taels of silver, if you have a conscience, you can help add some more!”

Some relatives would give some errands to students rushing for the exam. Xie Dalang knew that seeing his father talk like this, Gu Chuhan's expression was already bad, and he said hurriedly, "We didn't come here to ask for errands! I want to borrow it from my cousin! After I get a high school honor , I will return the silver to you!"

Mrs. Gu couldn't help but also frowned.It's not that she didn't want to borrow it. In fact, Xie Dalang didn't know how good his knowledge was. The scholar took the exam several times, but Jiulang entrusted his relationship to let them pass the exam.Now go to the Juren examination, those adult examiners and their families don't know each other, how can he pass the examination!Even if I lend them money, I'm afraid it won't be paid!

"Then how much are you going to borrow?" Gu Chuhan asked with a smile.

Xie Dalang looked at Xie Yuanzhi and Xie Erlang, "I'll borrow 300 taels!"

Gu Chuhan nodded and looked at Xie Yuanzhi and Xie Erlang, "What about you?"

Xie Yuanzhi was good at drilling, and saved 50 taels of silver for Xie Erlang to take the exam, but this was only enough for Qiu Wei to go back and forth, and it was definitely not enough to manage. He hurriedly said with a smile, "Our family borrowed 500 taels! The money looks like Too many, if you need to manage those examiners, I’m afraid it’s not enough, and they’ll look down on them, so they might be in vain! If you follow along and help manage them, it will definitely be of great use!”

Xie Gaozhi looked at it, his face became even more ugly, and he said angrily, "300 taels is enough! We also borrow 500 taels! Your family must not be short of this money! The shop is open, and a mattress sells for a few hundred taels!"

"Then what do you expect to pay back after you borrowed money?" Gu Chuhan asked.

"After becoming an official in high school, I'm afraid I won't pay you back!? It's not like I won't pay you back!" Xie Gaozhi said displeased.

Xie Yuanzhi also smiled and said yes, "Don't worry about this, you will definitely pay it back!"

Gu Chuhan laughed out loud, "Even if you can pass the Qiu Wei exam, after you pass the Juren exam, there will still be an exam, the palace exam, do you want to do it again? It's even more difficult to pass the exam!"

"Our family will definitely remember your kindness, and Erlang will pay back the money in the future to repay you!" Xie Yuanzhi laughed.

Gu Chuhan nodded, "Let's do it! I'll do the math for you, and I'll also give you some popular science. After the Jinshi degree, no matter whether you stay in the Six Departments to observe politics, or you are sent to a local government, the highest at the beginning is the seventh rank, and the eighth rank is the highest. Do you know how much a year’s salary is for a seventh-rank official? Excluding a few deniers of rice and cloth, the total is 72 taels of silver! How many years do you plan to exchange for it?”

"72 taels of silver!? That's impossible!" Xie Yuanzhi didn't believe it at all, "All the officials are rich!"

"One hundred thousand snowflake silver from the magistrate of Qing Dynasty! Do you just don't want to borrow it!? When you came to our house to borrow money, you borrowed it as soon as you said it. Now our family has a problem with you, but you don't take it out! Do you still have a conscience!? Ingratitude Aren't you afraid of being poked in the back!?" Xie Gaozhi scolded angrily.
