The first wife of the strongest peasant daughter

Chapter 197
Lian's is now the mistress of the family, and most of the servants in the capital are well-informed. Seeing her directly laughing at Sifang's daughter as a concubine, they all looked down upon her.

The Gu family is well-developed, and they are also high-profile now!But that's three rooms!It's not a second room, nor a fourth room!

The fourth house has no rich family wealth, and the second has no cultural background. To put it bluntly, it is from a small family in a small town. To be able to enter the Cheng's house in Dali Temple as a noble concubine is already a high incense and a high ranking!If you don't care about Gu Jiuye's face, you don't want to be a concubine!

The Lian family is in charge of a large courtyard, and all the people who come in and go out are ordered by servants. Recently, he is particularly proud. Hearing that Gu Liniang is betrothed to be the third son of the He family as a concubine, the joke is not enough. joke.

"Oh! Fourth brother and sister! Li Niang is your own daughter after all. She came all the way to the capital, but she found someone who is a concubine. It doesn't sound good to say it! Li Niang is a big girl of Huanghua! The fourth brother and sister What do you think? Didn’t Lady Ran ask about it beforehand? Oh~ I remember Jiulang said before that the daughters of the Gu family should choose the best ones! Daughters of the Gu family don’t want to be concubines!”

Cao's face turned blue and red, "Jiulang said, it depends on the situation! If you find an ordinary family in the countryside, you must choose the best one, and you will definitely not be a concubine! But the He family is a scholarly family, and it also inherits a hundred years of history. It has been many years, with a profound background, and the hired concubine, the son-in-law of the He family is a talented person, and he is also a recruiter, which is rare!"

Although it was said that He Jia's two wives were lucky, and that hiring a concubine meant strengthening the righteousness, but after all, she was just talking about it, and she was still uneasy, afraid that she would really send her daughter to be a concubine.If things didn't work out, she couldn't listen to such words.

Lian laughed, "The fourth younger siblings rarely stay in the capital and go out rarely, so I don't understand. Li Niang is a concubine, so you can't call the He family's son son-in-law! That's the serious father-in-law of the family." Son-in-law! I'm not a serious relative to your family!"

Cao's face was ugly, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Gu Raniang said with a sullen face, "The second aunt seems to be the hostess of the house, and she knows more and more! Is the fifth brother's marriage settled? Grandma was still asking a few days ago, saying that it will be done after Wulang's marriage is settled. His, next to Juro's!"

Lian secretly gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart, but he smiled proudly and relaxedly, "Our Wulang is now the master of Juren, and he will become an official after passing the Chunwei exam after the Chinese New Year! We are not in a hurry! Although we can't compare with Shilang Ruoniang, They are Jiu Lang's younger brothers and sisters, and they are from a high-ranking family, but we, Wu Lang, want to find a daughter-in-law from a decent and good family!" The sarcasm said yes to Ruoniang, and a concubine to Gu Liniang.

Gu Ran's motherly face turned blue.

Gu Yuniang and Gu Liniang, who were about to come over there, also happened to hear her words, and their expressions were a little bit bad.

Seeing them coming, Lien said with regret again, "Liniang! Ouch! I think Liniang is also beautiful and clever, and she is also very beautiful when she dresses up! She is well-behaved! She is not bad at all like a lady from a rich family. Being made a concubine for someone, even if you get married, you can’t wear red, you have to wear pink! It’s only once in a lifetime, what a pity!”

Gu Yuniang's face turned red and pale, and she wanted to say a few words to her. She was an elder, and she looked at Gu Liniang worriedly.

Gu Raniang had already told her what she would hear before, and Gu Liniang saw that it was her family who said it first, and took a deep breath, "The second aunt is busy with the marriage of the fifth brother and the seventh brother, and the marriage between the two is not easy, so don't bother The second aunt is worried! I am young, so I like pink and delicate! As long as he has a good character, a good person, and a good family, he is better than anything else!"

Seeing that she still dared to insinuate that her two sons are hard to find marriage, Lian Shi also looked angry, "Li Niang is really young, she really doesn't understand, I think you are going to get married soon, so go ahead and tell me what you said." What a scholarly family, you have to learn this rule! Don’t run around with that girl Ruo Niang all day long! She is still young, so she doesn’t have to worry about being nice to her!”

Gu Liniang blessed Fuli, "Thank you, Second Aunt, for teaching me! But Second Sister has already invited the Palace Nanny to teach us!" The relegation satirized her, and by the way, she stepped on Ruo Niang!Enough is enough!If you don't look at yourself, even Fifth Brother can't stand it, let's see what she can find for Fifth Brother!

Lian stepped on it proudly, seeing Cao's mother and Gu Raniang all changed their faces in anger, and went back contentedly.

Gu Liniang stomped her feet, "If you have the ability, don't wait for grandma to come back!"

Mrs. Gu didn't care about the house, so she took the baby to play every day. If she couldn't play in the front yard, she would go to the back garden.

"Okay, don't be angry, Li Niang and Fourth Aunt! Seeing this, there are quite a few people who think so, so I have to wrong Li Niang for a while! Even if the wedding dress can't be red, I will show Li Niang the best looking one." Style!" Gu Raniang comforted.

Mrs. Cao smiled, "It's a lot of tempering! If you don't grind hard, how can you walk safely in the rest of your life!" Ran Niang married a businessman. Although she looks rich, she can't compare with the official family. The status is different, and she is clearly satisfied in her heart.Only Erfang wanted to be big and tall, but he didn't consider himself.

The clothes of Gu Raniang's Jiuyun Pavilion are exquisite and meticulous, the dresses are elegant and elegant, and each style is unique and exquisite, and they are all single style and single color. This one and only one makes all the ladies and ladies in Beijing flock to it.

The orders for clothes this winter are also full, and the spring models have not yet been printed out, and the orders have already been paid for, and two or three hundred embroiderers and weaver girls are working overtime to catch up.

Gu Liniang's wedding dress was bright red, and she couldn't use it anymore, so she had to redo a pink one.

Designed by Gu Raniang herself, it is pink and orange, combining panels and yarn materials, heavy embroidery and handmade flowers, the irregular skirt is layered like clouds, and the upper body is slightly waisted to fit the body, outlining Gu Liniang's slender and tall figure.

When the pattern came out, Gu Yunniang couldn't help but like it, "It's so beautiful! The second sister's hand is really good! This kind of wedding dress is so beautiful!"

"How is it? Do you still like it? I've already found pink and orange materials, so I'll make Yunxia clothes!" Gu Raniang looked at Gu Liniang and asked with a smile.

Gu Liniang couldn't help but blushed with excitement, "I like it! I like it very much!"

Gu Raniang nodded with a smile, "I will arrange it myself, and you will make some of your own clothes, as well as Mr. He's, shoes and socks, and listen carefully to Mammy to learn the rules and teach you the things! You don't need anything else. Don't worry, there's me and your mother!"

Gu Liniang bowed deeply, "Thank you, Second Sister, for helping me manage it!"

Helping her up, Gu Raniang patted her, "We are all a family, don't say such kind words!"

Mrs. Cao is also very satisfied with her due diligence, and the family has also saved some money in the past few years. He gritted his teeth and took 300 taels, and added 50 taels of silver to his private house to buy Gu Liniang's dowry.

Gu Raniang had already considered her situation, so when the marriage was made, she found someone through her relationship and bought things for the marriage. Although they are not particularly good, ordinary things can cost twice as little money, and the same money can Get more stuff.

Gu Chuhan also bought some useful things in Nanle County to add to her box, and then gave her another set of red gold noodles in private, and then pulled his own silver, trying to give her some more silver at the bottom of the box.Although she is going to be a concubine, but in the future, this identity will become her label for the rest of her life. She has both sons and daughters, and she is a stepmother.

Su Jin watched her pick up her little salary, sighed secretly, and couldn't help being jealous. She gave her heart to the Gu family, so she didn't know how to give him more!I was so angry for a long time, I still came over, "Ask your second sister if she wants to open another rouge shop!"

"Rouge shop? Do you have a recipe you don't want?" Gu Chuhan's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yes!" Su Jin said yes even if he didn't have it, he could get it if he wanted it!

Gu Chuhan nodded immediately, "Okay! Give it to me!"

Seeing her shining eyes looking forward to asking him for something, and finally learning to find him, Su Jin couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, "I'll go back and find it for you!" If he wants his heart, give it to her too!

It’s not hard to find formulas for face cream and face cream. Su Jin has some for Gu Chuhan to mix and use. It’s just that the ones used are difficult to match, and few can afford them after selling them. It’s not easy for Gu Raniang to collect them. The ingredients come out.Others are easy to find.

Within a few days, Fang Zi brought over together with Rouge.

Gu Chuhan didn't use these before, and he just washed his face and wiped some of the face cream he brought. Most of the time, he just washed his face and wiped it off.Playing with a few boxes of rouge, she couldn't stop tsk-tsk, "The two maids wiped this thing for me once when He Lianyun forced me to wear women's clothing!"

Su Jin brought the rouge box over, "I'll wipe it for you!"

"Will you?" Gu Chuhan doubted him, stop painting her face like a monkey's ass!
Su Xing stubbornly smeared on her face and fiddled with it for a long time, looked at it for herself, it was very unsatisfactory, didn't say anything, washed the veil and wiped it off for her.

Gu Chuhan hehehe gave him a pause, and sent the things back to the capital to Gu Raniang. Let her try it first, and then let her learn how to refine nectar essential oil and fragrance. She doesn't know how to fiddle with it, but she still passively accepts the perfume she used before. What are the main ingredients and what is the fragrance?

Gu Raniang took Gu Ruonian to discuss it for a long time, and then ordered utensils from the glass factory. After trying to tinker with it for a few days, two face creams were made, but rouge is not easy to make in this season, so they discussed making face cream first, and then Camellia rouge and plum blossom rouge, plum blossom dew and camellia essential oil, pulled Gu Yuniang and Gu Liniang into the shares, and the sisters partnered together.

Gu Ruoniang was very upset, pulled her face, turned around and was about to write a letter to Gu Chuhan to complain.

"Hey! This prescription was brought by Jiulang, and she meant the same thing. What's the use of you writing it! Come back and help me!" Gu Raniang smiled and pulled her back.

"Then I don't care! You go find them to work!" Gu Ruoniang said angrily.

Gu Raniang glared at her, "You said that you have learned a lot of things. If you don't learn well, is it for nothing! This rouge formula and facial oil, essential oil and toilet water formula, girls still have to learn to learn fine, and it is also a close one! "

"Brother Jiu knows a lot of things!" Gu Ruoniang said with a look of admiration.

Gu Ranniang laughed at her, and said angrily, "You! Jiulang knows a lot of things, and she only scratches the surface! But he is good at making machines! Which one do you specialize in? Goro specializes in law, and Erlang has been following Jiulang is also studying, and Juro has also passed. Look at what you are studying!"

Gu Ruoniang thought about it, but she was still not convinced. She learned everything, and she learned it very hard!There is almost no time to play!She also manages business, she just needs to learn some tactics, so that she won't let others take advantage of her family and bully her family in the future!

When Mrs. Cao heard that Gu Yuniang and Gu Liniang were going to open a rouge and gouache shop together, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Although she pulled out two daughters, there was basically nothing about their fourth wife.The direct benefit is for Li Niang!Sure enough, she had a good idea, Sanfang is smarter!Let's go up a little bit!Looking back, the future may still be uncertain!
Gu Raniang had money in her hand, and there was a shop in Kyoto. She and Gu Liniang went out and looked again and again, and finally decided to buy a new one with two floors above and below, to receive VIP customers and store things, so that the shopkeepers could live there.

Soon someone was found to renovate the shop, and the name was called Jiuyun Rouge Pavilion, which bears the name of Jiuyun Pavilion, but it is not the same as an independent store with independent accounts.

When the first winter snow came, the shop officially opened when the snowflakes were flying.

Gu Raniang is in charge of managing the size of the shop, and Gu Yuniang and Gu Liniang share the dividends.

Gu Laoer has been busy with the local dry goods shop, although he has opened the shop, but there is no business.The local products in the village can be sold, but they are not the only ones who sell them, and many dry goods are not available in the village, and they are purchased from other places and sold.Under the name of Gu Chuhan and Yan Junfeng's connections, although he didn't buy at a high price, but he sold less, so he put money in it, feeling anxious in his heart.

Gu Wulang saw that he had started to work, so he comforted him that the home furnishing store did not make any money in the first three months of opening, and he also paid for it, so that he could guard it carefully, and the business came.

But seeing that Gu Ranniang opened a rouge shop with her two daughters from the fourth room, she couldn't sit still.He doesn't know how much Gu Ranniang earns, but he has inquired about it. A set of clothes can cost hundreds of taels or thousands of taels, and an ordinary piece costs tens of taels. And those jewelry, which are so big, must make a lot of money!Now this rouge shop is probably making money!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get angry at Lian Shi, "Idiot! I told you a long time ago that I want you to look good, and it won't hurt to please them! Now I know! The shop's dividends have been smashed by you! Now the new shop has no share. Son! Just watch them make money together!"

Lian also regretted it in his heart, but it was more to find excuses for himself, complaining that the third room was not good, "If it weren't for me, I could say it! Besides, I didn't do anything to make people complain. It's not that they don't want to split up. I guess they are looking for trouble. of!"

"If you don't give them a chance, they can find a job!? You still have the face to say it!" Gu Er Er was about to die of anger.

"Then I'll go to them, tell them well, and give us a share too! Otherwise, it's not easy to prepare for Goro Qiro's dowry!" Lian looked at him carefully.

Gu Lao Er gritted his teeth angrily, and said angrily, "What are you going to do! Go and make me angry again, and make them even more annoying! You can't say good things from your dog's mouth, so they are happy! Shit! I won’t give it to you! Every time I say good things, I let you ruin it!”

Lian Shi also felt aggrieved seeing him scolding harshly.

But the rouge shop did not make any money. Although the things were expensive, and Jiuyun Pavilion was in front of it, but the shop, renovation, ingredients and utensils, as well as the manpower for digging, Gu Raniang estimated that she would not be able to earn back for three months. .Just like Jiuyun Pavilion, it lost money at the beginning and posted money in it, and only later did it start to make money. The early stage of operation is very important. With this experience, it is also very hard to do it.

After the He family saw the offer, Gu Raniang immediately took Gu Liniang to open a rouge shop together. Although it was a small business, it clearly had a share of property, and it was opened by her sisters. She didn't expect to subsidize the family. She had money in her own hands. , Earn a lot of money, and don't think about moving the things from the in-law's house to the mother's house, and I am satisfied.

Especially when I found out that Changxing Bo's mansion had hired a nun to teach Gu Liniang the rules and etiquette, I was even more satisfied, and set a date to get married a year ago.

Shen Fangchi inquired in many ways, and found out that Mrs. He San was considered critically ill, and there was not much time left. The He family kept the news and accepted the daughter of the Gu family as a concubine for He San, and snorted coldly.

Just as she was about to make something happen to her, news came from the Shen family that Mrs. Shen, who had been in poor health since winter, passed away.

"What did you say? Grandpa has always been in good health, how could he die of illness after a cold!?" Shen Fangchi was shocked.

Shen Guangfu was also dizzy for a while, and finally held onto the chair and fell down.

Grandpa Shen died of illness, and Shen Guangfu was the eldest son. It is absolutely inevitable to serve as an official and keep a filial piety, unless he can regain his love.The Gu family has been staring at them, and the officialdom has also suppressed them in many ways. It is better for Shen Guangfu to take refuge in Zhu Wenhan.Once he returns home from his post, how could the Gu family give him a chance to recover?

Shen Guangfu quickly submitted an official declaration to the imperial court, and was quickly granted permission.

Shen Fangchi is not reconciled, she has arranged for so long, Gu Qilang's line is still available, now that she is gone, at least she must guard at home!

His eyes fixed on Gu Raniang who went out from time to time.Yan Junfeng is not at home all year round, only she has lived in Kyoto with her son for a long time, isn't the long night empty and lonely?Running around for business and doing something with other men is completely justified!By the time……

It is true that Gu Ranniang has contacted not only the wives and ladies of the various families, but also the personnel of business transportation and ingredients, as well as Yan Junfeng's weaving factory. Some things will be brought to her, and she has to settle the accounts once a month.

And Ji Hongshan, the steward of the weaving factory, is a young man who was brought up by Yan Junfeng.Not only is he in charge of the weaving factory, but also Yan Junfeng's other business matters, and he has the most contact with Gu Raniang.Gu Raniang also ordered him to do many things.

Shen Fangchi was in a hurry. Shen Guangfu packed her bags and prepared to go back immediately. She hurriedly made arrangements and wanted to get revenge before leaving. She must not make them feel better!

Su Ding also came to the capital with the news, and stopped her directly, "Fangchi, you are crazy! You put your hands on Gu Raniang, do you think Yan Junfeng will let you go and let Shen's family go? I'm sure you'll bring up the kidnapping again. When he digs up the old accounts and suppresses them, is the Shen family planning to go down?" The guy named Huang Shengfan, he asked someone to check, and Yan Junfeng took him to the slave mine, as long as he said hello, he might be worse than a dog .I wanted to catch the Gu family as a handle, so I cleaned up everything!

Shen Fangchi was taken aback, thinking of the past few years when He Jingzhi and Shen Yi's furniture shop was suppressed by the Yan family, even the voice of the Shen family was suppressed, squeezed, and clenched their fists tightly.

"Grandfather passed away, you'd better go back to the funeral! And...if you wait any longer, you..." Su Chen wanted to take advantage of the fire. He had waited for her for so many years, and he didn't want to wait any longer. He hoped that she would be willing to marry with filial piety.If he didn't want to, then he wasn't going to wait for her anymore!
Of course Shen Fangchi knew, but she was not reconciled.So what if you keep your filial piety?She still has a chance!
Su Chen was afraid that this was just the beginning, and wanted to pull her out of Shen's house and not let her continue.Forcibly stopped her and followed Shen Guangfu back to Wuchang Mansion for the funeral.

As for the seat vacated by Shen Guangfu, Su Jin immediately arranged for someone to take it.

Gu Chuhan also sent a letter to Gu Lingshan, but she couldn't grasp the evidence, and her methods were clever, so she used clever schemes to beat the Shen family so hard that they couldn't get up again!

In the past three years, Gu Lingshan has not only been in charge of the family's business, as long as the Shen family is involved, those that can be suppressed will be suppressed equally, and those that cannot be squeezed out will start with raw materials, customers, and sales.Write her back and reassure her.

Gu Chuhan counted the days and urged Li Erlang to go home, "Now that the ship is almost finished, I don't have many things to do in the yamen, and I can take care of the affairs of the manufacturing bureau. You should go back quickly! You can't get married, don't go back Home preparations, hurry back two days before getting married!"

"There is still more than one and a half months!" Li Erlang smiled.The boat is about to be built, He Lianyun is afraid that he will take the opportunity to come over again, afraid that he will plot against her again.

"Anyway, let's try the voyage! Go back quickly! The Zhou family looks good, and it will be better for you, son-in-law!" Gu Chuhan thumped him.

Li Erlang dragged on for a few days, and Gu Shilang also urged him, so he took Gu Shilang to give him a bunch of instructions, and rushed back to his hometown with the caravan with his luggage, "I won't be able to catch up with Li Niang's wedding, remember to help me with the gift! "

"Understood!" Gu Chuhan responded.

His wedding date is in the twelfth lunar month, but Gu Liniang's wedding date is in November.

Mrs. Gu lived in the capital, so close, even though Gu Chuhan quietly went back to the capital with Su Jin to visit at night, she didn't dare to stay longer, and left after having a meal with her.

Gu Liniang got married, and took a few days off by visiting the sick to fulfill her filial piety, and rushed back to Kyoto with Gu Shilang.

Everything in the house was ready, and Gu Chuhan sent all the things he added to the box home ahead of time. This time, he only brought a trumpet guitar, "It's considered a dowry!"

They were not allowed to touch Gu Ruoniang's guitar and violin. Gu Liniang and Gu Yuniang shared an old violin, so they felt envious and longing to hear Gu Ruoniang's voice practicing the piano every day.But I also know that the new type of piano is expensive. Some people in Kyoto bought it, and a guitar can't be bought for thousands of taels of silver. Gu Chuhan gave her a guitar, and she was really overjoyed!
Holding the piano, trembling all over excitedly, with tears in her eyes, "Ninth Brother... Thank you Ninth Brother!" She knew that her dowry was weak, and the things that Ninth Brother bought her for her, and the red gold face that he gave her in private, In addition to this piano, it is more than half of what the family prepared for her!
Gu Chuhan patted her on the head with a smile, "I'll learn it when I have time. Folk songs are pretty easy to play, and it's fun!"

Gu Liniang nodded with red eyes.

Lian Shi resisted it and didn't say a word.Shichiro wanted to refuse to give it before!In a blink of an eye, I'll give this cheap girl Li Niang a hand!Didn't you say several hundred taels of silver?Just gave it to the fourth room!

Gu Laoer felt uncomfortable, but he gritted his teeth even more angrily for Lian's bad deeds. Just a few hundred taels of piano, Sifang gave it away without asking for it!

Gu Qilang shouted, "Even if you don't give it to me now, you have to give it to me when I get married!"

Gu Chuhan didn't say a word, and asked about the situation in the He family.

The leave she took was short, and the next day was the auspicious day for Gu Liniang to get married.

The He family was also very respectful, and He Jia also went to the team of drum music and sedan chairs to welcome the bride.

Gu Liniang was wearing her wedding dress, and Gu Chuhan carried the sedan chair on her back.

All the way to marry him.

The He family also set up ten tables of banquets to celebrate the excitement, and He Weiqing personally entertained Gu Chuhan.

He Jiayuan and his relatives from Ye's family were also there, seeing that Gu Chuhan and He Weiqing had come forward to entertain him in person, knowing that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and the other daughters in the family couldn't bring them in, so they could only watch.

The three sons are not separated, and the family style is strict. He Jia also has only one aunt, who was raised by the housemaid who served before. Mrs. Ye is also a gentle temperament, but she is weak and sick, and she knows that she may not be able to support her. too long.When I got up and saw Gu Liniang in person, I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Although Gu Liniang was embarrassed and nervous, and she was not stunning, but judging by the style of her wedding dress, the bride-in-law, as well as herself, were all sharp and shrewd people, not soft and gentle.

Mrs. Ye was worried about her sons and daughters. They were so young and ignorant. They didn't even know what death was. The younger one even knew that the father had married a new aunt and was happy and lively.

After drinking the wedding wine, Gu Chuhan and Gu Wulang rushed home to reassure Mrs. Cao, "The He family still pays attention to it, and the people of the Ye family are not vicious. Liniang will suffer for a while, and then she will get better later. Already!"

Mrs. Cao wiped away her tears, "It's also thanks to Jiulang that you supported the situation, and no one dared to look down on Liniang! Your fourth uncle's letter must thank you very much! Thank you Ranniang! These days really make you worry too much! In the future, if your fourth uncle and I are not here, Liniang will depend on you!"

"Whatever Uncle Fourth said, Aunt Fourth is being polite, we are all one family!" Gu Chuhan smiled.

Although Mrs. Cao had calculations, she was sincerely grateful, "I'll see how Liniang is doing, and I'll go back with your grandma!"

When Li Erlang got married, Mrs. Gu was going home, and it happened to be home for the New Year.

Gu Chuhan nodded, and went to the side to talk to Gu Wulang and his brothers, "How about your marriage? Is there no letter from the Min family?" She sent the Qin to Min Yan before she left.

Gu Wulang sighed helplessly, and couldn't help complaining to her, "My parents are thinking about messing around, and the Min family is still looking at the daughter of the other's first wife, so I guess they are very angry! I don't want to Don't worry about them, let them not be annoying, I'll settle down and study hard for a few months, and I'll talk about it after passing the Chunwei exam!"

"It's already this time anyway, it's not too late to wait for Chunwei!" Gu Chuhan nodded.

"I heard that the ship is ready, when is the trial sailing? Send me a letter in advance, and I'll go and have a look!" If Gu Wulang hadn't been preparing for the Chunwei exam, he would have gone to find her with Gu Wulang!
"It might be a sea trial before the year, or it might be February [-] next year! It depends on what the court decides! I have news to inform you!" Gu Chuhan smiled.

Gu Wulang nodded, and urged her to go to rest early, and had to rush back to Nanle tomorrow.

Gu Chuhan responded, "I've been waiting for news from the He family!"

However, news came from the He family that He Jia did not enter the bridal chamber, and Mrs. Ye fell ill and returned to the main house.

Gu Liniang waited all night in the new house alone.
