The first wife of the strongest peasant daughter

Chapter 71

"This life is really unbearable! I can't live anymore! Everyone in the circle sees that our family is not considered a human being! Just bully our family! I can't live through it! I can't live through it!" Lian cried all the way.

Quite a few villagers were on Xiaotupo's side, watching the beaming of the third room of the Gu family, and seeing her like this, they were all puzzled.

Some people thought that when she ran out crying, she was still looking for Mrs. Gu, because she had quarreled with Mr. Gu and was beaten by Mr. Gu, so she came to her mother-in-law for comment.

But this side is going up, it's a big deal, she ran over crying at this time, just like howling, it's not good!

Lian Shi didn't care, she just wanted to make trouble, and she wanted to make Sanfang look bad for her!Just to make them feel bad!Otherwise, it would be hard to get rid of the bad breath in her heart!
"My mother! My God! I can't live through this day!" Lian ran over, regardless of what everyone said, sat at the gate of the new courtyard, patted his thigh and started crying.

Mrs. Gu ran over, and when she saw her like this, she was furious, "Lian Xiaocui! What are you trying to do!?"

Originally thinking that the Feng Shui of this new courtyard is good, the third son would be rescued if he moved here, but Lian Shi made a fuss at this juncture. She was so angry that she directly called Lian Shi by name and surname.

Lian Shi was also taken aback when he heard the yell, but he was overwhelmed by jealousy and hatred in the next moment, "What do I want to do? What do you think I want to do? What else can we do? Our family is not biological! It's just us One family! The other sons are all sons, but we picked them up, ah!? Even an unrelated nephew can help make a fortune. If it’s not enough, I’ll ask him to build a house! My son can’t live anymore , you’re blind and can’t see, right!?”

Gu Pozi's face was gloomy, and she was furious.

Li Jiazhu, who ran over when he heard the situation, also turned red and ugly.

Gu Er Er also came over there, but instead of questioning and scolding, he came over and called Lian Shi, "Go home! What are you doing here!?"

"I won't go back! Why should we pinch our family!? Isn't our family human? Are you not her biological son? Or is Goro Qilang not her grandson? They have taken advantage of several houses. What does our family have? Only The third son, only the grandson of Sanfang, we are not, ah!?" Lian cried and stood up again, "The house is given to Sanfang, and the land is also sold to Sanfang, well, it is to save the third son , let’s not talk about it! But now? If we have it, we will still give it to the third house! The booth, the money, and the house! Everyone, at any rate, their son has passed the exam! The fourth family has opened a shop early! The fifth family has also placed I made a fortune at the stall! Now even an unacquainted nephew helps to make a fortune! Do you think we picked it up? Tell me! Tell me!?”

Mrs. Gu's face was livid with anger, her chest heaved, "You..."

Seeing her approaching Mrs. Gu, Li Jiazhu hurriedly blocked her, preventing her from making a move on Mrs. Gu.

Seeing that he still dared to stand up, Lian said even more, "You still have the face to block it! Shameless for taking so many advantages!"

"I..." Li Jiazhu couldn't say anything to refute, he really took advantage of it.The sugar oil fruit sold at home has been sold for several taels of silver!

Lian directly scolded him in the face, "Say it yourself, did my mother-in-law teach you the sugar oil fruit? Did your family get rich with this!? You still have the face to come here to work as a foreman to earn this money ?! Who gave you face, so shameless!?"

Li Jiazhu was at a loss when she scolded him. He really didn't think too much before. When his aunt asked him for help, he only thought that his aunt helped them set up a stall. He wanted something in return, and he didn't plan to ask for money. have this.

"The face I gave you! If you want face, come to me!" Gu Chuhan shouted angrily and strode over.

Gu Boss and Gu Lao Si were busy everywhere, and Gu Lao Wu also came over.

Mrs. Sun also ran over, "What's the matter? It's a big day today, what are the younger brothers and sisters doing?" It's really mindless to make trouble at this time!The mother-in-law is now thinking of changing the house and changing Feng Shui so as to save her third son!On this big day when she was on the beam, she came here to find bad luck by crying and making a fuss, so I hate her to death!
Gu Chuhan has never built a house by himself, but it is certain that the upper beam will be damaged!Looking sharply at the Lian Shi who is making trouble, "My silver, my money, my prescription, my stall, who do I want to talk to, who has anything to do with you?!"

It was her posture that dared to hit her, which made Lian even more angry, "What's the matter? You ungrateful little bastard! This is not the time to beg my family!? You are not afraid of retribution!? You think you seduce A man is really capable if he gets money!?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Chuhan went up and kicked her out.

Lian Shi screamed and fell hard.

The spectators around also gasped.

"You little bastard! How dare you hit someone?!" Gu Er Er also rushed up, scolding Gu Chuhan angrily.

Lian came up slowly, crying and cursing in a high voice, "You little bitch dare to hit me!"

The sound of the horse's hooves stopped outside the circle of people, and Cheng Yi dismounted and walked in quickly, "It seems that I came here by accident!"

Surprised, Sun immediately poked Boss Gu to make him stand out.No matter how Jiulang hooked up with the magistrate, now that he even ran over to the third house and never returned to Fucheng, he will definitely have a good time in the future!

Boss Gu was also shocked. He didn't expect him to come back, and he reacted after being stabbed by Mrs. Sun, "Mr. Cheng! This... this is happening at home. It really makes Mr. Cheng laugh!"

Cheng Yi looked at Gu Chuhan's gloomy face, his eyes were cold and stern, walked over, looked at Lian Shi and Gu Laoer, "What's going on?"

Seeing that he came over, Gu Laoer was also shocked, his face was a little ugly, before anyone else could speak, he hurried up and explained, "It's all these shameless girls! I heard that my mother taught my sister-in-law to fry candy. Youguozi, she is not angry, she came here to make trouble! When I heard about it, I hurried over to chase her away! Today, Jiulang and the others are going to fight, it is a big deal! This ignorant bitch is still here to make trouble!" Lian kicked, "Bitch! Get the hell out of here! It's a disgrace here!"

"Second Gu, you..." Lian Shi unexpectedly got kicked by him, and immediately became angry.Just about to yell and scold, I saw him winking over.

Boss Gu was robbed of the conversation, so he pulled his face and put on a big brother's style to teach Gu Lao Er, "Second, what do you usually do! A woman can't control it! Such a big matter, let her come and make trouble!? It’s joyful, but also bad luck! If you have any dissatisfaction, come to me directly! It’s not just a candied fruit, my sister-in-law’s family was poisoned, you also went to see it, and almost sold it! Fried a candied fruit, You can also see a child’s snacks, and cause trouble because of this! Is it ashamed or not!?”

Being scolded by him counting on his face, Gu Lao Er became angry and scolded him non-stop in his heart.This will act like it, and scold him and slap him in the face in front of people.It's not the time for him to ask for things in the past!But he had already said what he said just now, and in front of Cheng Yi and all the villagers, he had no choice but to hold back, pushing them all on Lian Shi, scolding Lian Shi, "How dare you stay here, why don't you get lost!? "

Lian Shi looked at his eyes, then at the crowd, at Cheng Yi, and had to grit his teeth and leave crying.

"Grandma!" Gu Chuhan hurriedly supported Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu was so angry that her ribs hurt, and she was shaking all over. Thinking of the new courtyard that was just built, Feng Shui was finally healed, and Feng Shui was ruined by crying!Thinking of the son who was exiled in the wilderness and didn't know life and death, and might not be rescued, there was a fishy sweetness in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"grandmother!?"

"Mother!"

The crowd suddenly became a mess, those who helped, those who pinched people, and those who called for a doctor.

Gu Chuhan went up to carry Mrs. Gu home, knowing her knot in her heart, and patted her chest to give her comfort, "Grandma! It's okay! Don't be angry! Feng Shui can't be broken! You forgot, the old monk of Shaolin Temple said that my body Bringing auspiciousness and blessings are profound! Isn’t he Master Huixu, an eminent monk in Shaolin Temple? He is said to be very famous! Then with me here, our family must be shrouded in auspiciousness, and the lucky stars are shining! Dad will definitely be rescued!”

"Master Huixu from Shaolin Temple?" Cheng Yi asked in surprise.

Gu Raniang wiped her tears and nodded, "I met Jiulang when he was selling Spring Festival couplets, and he said that Jiulang is auspicious and blessed!"

Cheng Yi looked at Gu Chuhan and nodded, "Master Huixu is an eminent monk in Shaolin. Today's holy majesty ordered him to take over the royal temple, but he was rejected! The empress dowager also listens to the master's lectures every year! What he said, I can't be wrong. !"

What he, the magistrate said, must not be wrong!Then everyone remembered that Master Qin heard that Master Huixu was passing by the town, but he chased him a long way.

Looking at Gu Chuhan again, his eyes changed.Is it really the auspiciousness that the master said?But why have so many things happened to the third room of the Gu family, none of them are good! ?
Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Li Jiazhu hurriedly stood up and spoke, "Jiulang's family has come to a dead end, so he just opened his mind! Otherwise, he wouldn't know so much!" He wanted to talk about rice transplanters and sewing machines, and then looked at Cheng Yi, afraid of offending him and bringing trouble to his aunt's family, swallowed it again.

Yang Xiaoqian, who followed in, pursed her lips in contempt, she was just a little boy who seduced the magistrate with his face, even more lecherous and vulgar than a woman, what did he know! ?What the master said about wearing auspiciousness is almost the same as wearing a dejected body!Look at the magistrate's appearance, he is about to marry a wife without a daughter-in-law, how long can he sell his ass! ?
Although I know what the old monk of Shaolin Temple said, Gu Jiajiulang has auspicious auspiciousness on his body, and their family did get money, but it didn't go well!And today it was a good night, but Lian's crying and making a fuss, the joy was all overwhelmed!Mrs. Gu even vomited blood there!If the feng shui in this house is not good, or if something happens when the house is built, something will happen if you live in it!

It was because Mrs. Gu knew that she vomited blood angrily, "The newly built house is also broken! What crime did I do!?"

The Suns were all persuading her, saying that it would not be a problem, "If you can't do it, let the master take a look! Crack it!"

Cheng Yi suddenly pulled Gu Chuhan back, "Gu Chuhan! I'll recognize you as a younger brother today! Let me sworn brotherhood! My big brother, shouldn't I be insulting you?"

Gu Chuhan looked at him in surprise, "Being sworn..."

"Yes! Betrothal! Today is full of joy, and you and I are betrothed, which will add another joy! How about it?" Cheng Yi said this, but he was inexplicably nervous, because he was afraid that he would disagree.

Swiping ink makes his face look bad, so it's fine to call him a brother, but if the young master wants to make a sworn vow with Gu Jiulang, won't he be tainted by their family in the future! ?

Boss Gu listened, wishing that it was his son that he pulled!Why didn't I think of making Da Lang sworn worship with him before! ?Then you can catch up with the magistrate!And he heard people say that because of the rice transplanter, the magistrate has made great achievements, and he wants to be promoted!

"Oh! This is really a happy event! Jiulang! Don't hurry! Such a happy event is the best of both worlds!" Sun Shi reacted, and immediately laughed, holding back the envy in her heart, and urged Gu Chuhan.

Gu Chuhan frowned, she was not interested in recognizing a foster brother at all!

Seeing her expression, Cheng Yi couldn't help raising his heart, and asked Mrs. Gu, "Grandma! What do you think?"

Gu Chuhan opened his eyes wide, did he shift his target?

Sun's side immediately persuaded Mrs. Gu to agree, "Mother! This is really a happy event! It will be more stable if there is a happy event in Shangliang! Moreover, I will sworn brothers with the magistrate and become brothers. After that, even if I am a member of the county government, there will be no one Dare to insult you!"

Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Chuhan, with tears streaming down her eyes.

"Okay! I agree!" Gu Chuhan really couldn't see anyone crying, especially when he was old!
Cheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay! Get the candles ready!"

Mrs. Sun is very quick and active, and has all the incense candles ready in a blink of an eye.

The doctor over there came over, looked at Mrs. Gu and said that she was angry, and she would be fine if she spit out the blood.

Mrs. Gu was supported by Gu Raniang.

Gu Laoer looked at it and smiled and came up to her to help her.

Mrs. Sun prepared something for Boss Gu, and moved out a stool for Mrs. Gu to sit on.

In front of the new hospital, Cheng Yi and Gu Chuhan became sworn brothers with different surnames.

"I don't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but I want to die in the same year and the same month!"

The corner of Gu Chuhan's mouth twitched, why did he suddenly feel like he was married in Taoyuan?Do not!They are sworn brothers!
Cheng Yi pulled her up, "I will be your big brother from now on!"

"Brother!" Gu Chuhan immediately shouted with a smile.

"Brother Han!" Cheng Yi also laughed, feeling very bright.

"Eh... Eldest brother, please call me by my name!" Gu Chuhan was a little chilled, wondering how this elder brother would react when he found out that the younger brother he sworn was actually a girl one day!

Cheng Yi changed his words with a smile, and directly took off the jade badge on his body and gave it to her, "A meeting gift from the elder brother!"

"I... I'm poor!" Gu Chuhan froze.

Cheng Yi laughed loudly, "Your younger brother, you don't need to give it!" He called Mrs. Gu and grandma again, saying that she would help greet the beam.

Mrs. Sun gave Old Ambassador Gu a wink, "Mr. Cheng is a distinguished guest, how can I let you handle it! We are already ready!"

Boss Gu also said yes, called Li Jiazhu, and started to climb the beam.

No matter what the villagers say or discuss, Gu Jiulang has got the eldest brother of the magistrate, and with the magistrate's protection in the future, no one will dare to bully him casually!And that jade token looks like it's worth a lot of money!

Gu Lao Er's eyes are so hot, this jade is worth money just by looking at it!Not only became sworn brothers with the magistrate, but also snatched such a treasure!This is given out casually, maybe there are other good things!After thinking about it, he kept surrounding Cheng Yi and saying good things.Don't let him blame their family for what happened just now!In the future, Wulang will test his fame, but he still has to count on this one!

Cheng Yi didn't stay long, got on the beam, and left directly after eating, "I still have something to do in the workshop, so I'll go back first!"

"Brother, go slowly!" Gu Chuhan bowed his hands to see him off.

Cheng Yi greeted Mrs. Gu and left with the servants.

Gu Laoer pulled his face, and blamed Lian when he went back, "He is sworn sworn brothers with Mr. Cheng, and he will have a relationship with the magistrate in the future! Then the magistrate Cheng heard that he would be promoted, and the emperor ordered a reward! You If you insist on making trouble at this time, you are rushing right under your nose!"

"You still have the face to blame me? Who am I making trouble for? Not for this family! For your son and your daughter?! You still dare to beat me!?" Lian jumped up all of a sudden, and she was kicked by that little bastard My foot still hurts now!
Gu Lao Er said with a sullen face, "Anyway, don't recruit him in the future!"

Lian snorted contemptuously, "What's wrong with sworn marriage? Didn't he change from being sneaky to being aboveboard! He just ran off to hang out with men, and there's nothing left in his life!"

Gu Laoer didn't speak.

Mrs. Sun was also very skeptical about this, but she didn't say anything.But she saw that her mother-in-law not only had to pay off her debts, but also had to build a new house and save her third son, which was not an easy task!It doesn't matter what gossip or not, it's about men and women!Let alone Gu Jiulang, even if Gu Shilang followed the magistrate, he would not be able to save him!

Knowing that there would definitely be rumors and rumors outside, Gu Chuhan's family didn't care too much, watching the house being tiled and completed.I also hired a carpenter to make doors and windows, and made furniture.The family is looking forward to moving into a new home.

Cheng Yi asked people to move two crabapple trees and an osmanthus flower, "It is said that palms are best planted in the yard for Fengshui, but if you want to plant them, you can just transplant one on the mountain over there! Plant these flowers and trees, and the flowers will bloom." It’s also pleasing to watch in season!”

"Grow grapes! You can still eat the fruit! Or apricot, peach!" Gu Chuhan said directly.

Li Jiazhu hurriedly said, "My apricot over there is delicious, big and noodle-y, and it's sweet when ripe! I'll bring you one later!" Someone in the village planted it, so he went to buy one for his aunt.

Cheng Yi saw that since he had good intentions, he didn't say any more.

As the rice grows taller and the wheat turns yellower, the household items in the new yard become more and more complete.

Still wearing spring clothes, Jinxiufang launched summer clothes again, and the deposit for custom-made clothes has been paid more than 200 taels.

Gu Chuhan was allocated another 20 taels of silver, and together with the income from setting up a stall, they took out the tables, chairs and cabinets.

As for the bed, she didn't let it be made, but let it be made of bricks.It has been improved, it is not too high, and two more beddings are placed, which is just right for sleeping.

Gu Pozi, Gu Raniang, and Gu Shilang and Gu Ruoniang have no objections. They all know that the family is not well-off now, and it is not easy to build this new yard.Several people have grown up and have their own houses, and they all have to sleep.But it is impossible to lay down a few beds without a few tens of taels of silver!Build a kang, save trouble and money!In winter, when it is cold, you can still burn the kang, no need to burn the brazier!

However, Gu Chuhan's kang is also exquisite, "Cousin! You are so good at carpentry, please make two grille doors on both sides of this kang for me! It is the ceiling of the bed! The edge of the kang is also made of wood. Bundle it!"

"I'm not good at carpentry, so I follow those master craftsmen to make doors, windows and benches!" Li Jiazhu smiled foolishly, afraid that it would be ruined by her.

"It's okay! Cousin, just do it! I believe in your craftsmanship!" Gu Chuhan smiled and gave him the blueprint.

In order to earn more money by working more, Li Jiazhu learned bricklaying and carpentry.After looking at the pattern, it's not too difficult, it's almost the same as carving the cabinet door, so I should come down.

The kang was tidied up, and the gauze curtain that Gu Chuhan gave Gu Raniang to make was also brought back.

Because there is a sewing machine, there is no need to embroider flowers for a few gauze curtains, and it will be done very quickly.Gu Chuhan took it and took it home and hung it up with the help of Mrs. Gu Shilang.

They are still in the filial piety period, so the gauze tents are all plain, turmeric, water green, blue green, green, and light gray.

When the broken tables, chairs and benches were brought back, Li Jiazhu also helped clean up the yard, and the water spinach and green vegetables scattered by Mrs. Gu also came out.

The newly transplanted crabapple trees, sweet-scented osmanthus, and apricot trees also slowly came to life.

After tidying up, I am ready to move into my new home before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Cheng Yi was going home at the Dragon Boat Festival, so he sent a set of the Four Treasures of the Study and a set of Four Books and Five Classics in advance.

Hong Yu also gave Gu Raniang a holiday, and gave her two pieces of cloth and a set of dishes.

Xue Jinxiu bought two pairs of porcelain vases with her private money, and brushes and brush pads, "Mom, let me go housewarming with you too!"

Hong Yu looked at her daughter and said with a smile, "I won't go! You can't do without people in the embroidery workshop! If you want to go, go with your sister Ran Niang!"

They also gave a housewarming gift, and Gu Raniang invited Xue Jinxiu in advance, and she was obedient and took Xue Jinxiu with her, "It said that the house is all finished, but I haven't come home to see it yet! After finishing Jinxiu, come back and live with me for a day! "

Xue Jinxiu blushed and smiled, "Okay! I'll be with Sister Ranniang!"

Hong Yu smiled and watched them pack up their things, and got into the mule cart with Gu Chuhan.

"Brother Jiulang! Ruoniang said several times that your new home is well built, what is it like?" Xue Jinxiu was full of anticipation and couldn't help asking the driver.New housewarming, then she should be the first guest to live there!

"You'll know when you see it!" Gu Chuhan smiled.

Xue Jinxiu asked Gu Raniang again.

Gu Raniang laughed, "I haven't gone back to read it for a long time, I don't know what happened!"

Gu Ruoniang told Balabala how big the yard was, how tall the house was, and how nice the house was, Xue Jinxiu was even more looking forward to it.

The mule cart got off the main road, and a road went straight to the head of the village. Turning the corner and going directly to the end of the village, you can see a small hillside in the distance, which used to be a courtyard of green bricks and black tiles.

Although the enclosed courtyard of Sishuiguitang is not big, you can see many houses.

Mrs. Gu got out of the car and went up to open the door, "Everything has been moved here, and I will sleep in the new courtyard tonight! Let's cook and eat in the new courtyard!"

Xue Jinxiu looked at the brand-new brick wall, the thick gate, and across the threshold, there was a large osmanthus planted in the shadow of the wall.

The simple inverted houses are the cowshed and the pigsty.

After two gates, there is a spacious yard with a crabapple tree on the left and right sides, and a freshly revived apricot tree in the southeast corner.

Each of the four halls has two side rooms, and the left and right side rooms also have two side rooms, which are much larger than theirs.

In the house, the two halls are very spacious and empty, with only one incense burner on them.

However, there is a large landscape painting on the back wall, high mountains, sea of ​​clouds, waterfalls, flowing water, the sun and the moon appear in the same sky.But the close view is a small bridge, willow forest, and a faint village.In the magnificent atmosphere, there is aspirations like idle clouds and wild cranes.

On both sides is Gu Chuhan's favorite couplet:
Looking up to the sun, the moon and thousands of years

Looking down on the eternal flow of rivers and rivers

Xue Jinxiu recited silently, "This couplet is great! It's majestic!"

Seeing that she thought it was bought, Gu Raniang smiled and said nothing, and did not explain that it was from Gu Chuhan.Take her into the house to see.

The east room is for Mrs. Gu, who lives with Gu Ruoniang.The east ear room was made into a bathroom and a hut.

The west room is Gu Raniang, who is unwilling and insists on letting Gu Jiulang live in it, so the side room is turned into a study.

Gu Raniang lived in the first room in the east wing, next to Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruoniang; Gu Shilang lived in the first room in the west wing, next to Gu Chuhan.

Xue Jinxiu followed into the East Wing. When entering the door, there are tables, chairs and small bookshelves by the window, and a whole row of large cabinets. Looking up, you can't see the beams, but are blocked by two rows of smooth wooden planks.The kang mentioned is a plain tent hanging from the top with flower panels on the bed. The whole room is clean and tidy, spacious and bright.

"This room looks so comfortable!" Xue Jinxiu touched the ceiling of the bed, and then touched the simple tent, and also liked the furnishings in the room.

Gu Raniang couldn't help being surprised too.

Xue Jinxiu looked around and asked again, "Brother Jiulang! What's your room like with Shilang? Is it the same as Sister Ranniang's?"

"Almost!" Gu Chuhan nodded.

"I'll go and have a look!" In order to prevent it from being too obvious, she went to see Gu Shilang first.

Gu Shilang's room is similarly furnished, but there is one less cabinet and more bookshelves.Bamboo and cypresses are simply carved on the ceiling of the bed, and the curtains are plain blue.

When I arrived at Gu Chuhan's room, it was the same as Gu Shilang's room, but because the main hall room was large, a small partition was added to block the position of the kang.

The study room is simpler, with bookcases and shelves on the north and west sides, two tables in the middle, and an unfinished world map on the east wall.

"This picture is a bit strange!" Xue Jinxiu satisfied his curiosity and expectation, and his eyes fell on the painting on the east wall.

"Hang up whatever you want." Gu Chuhan said with a smile.

Mrs. Sun came over outside and asked Minger if all the dishes prepared for the housewarming were ready. He saw Xue Jinxiu in a pink cotton silk embroidered flag dress, the young couple wore silver inlaid jade butterflies on their heads, and rice-grain-sized beads on both sides Floating leisurely, with a small jade bracelet on her hand, she was definitely not a girl from a poor family. After looking at her, she couldn't help laughing and asked, "Whose girl is this? She looks so cute and cute!"

"It's the daughter of the Xue family in Jinxiufang, Jinxiu!" Gu Raniang introduced, and then introduced to Xue Jinxiu that Mrs. Sun was an uncle.

Hearing that she was the aunt of Gu Chuhan's family who had passed the exam, Xue Jinxiu politely bowed her knees slightly to greet her.

"Oh! Miss Xue is really a lady!" Mrs. Sun repeatedly praised her.

Xue Jinxiu blushed slightly.

Mrs. Sun looked at her and then at Gu Chuhan, thinking of what Lian said about hooking up with the boss's daughter in the county town, her eyes flickered slightly, "Is everything ready? Mother! Even the fifth family will not set up a stall tomorrow." , the five younger brothers and sisters are good at crafting, let us two take charge of the cooking!"

Mrs. Gu didn't refuse, she had already agreed with Mrs. Wang about cooking, and Ran Niang could also use it.

For dinner, Gu Raniang started cooking, cold Malan head, spicy tofu, boiled pork slices, and fried pork with mushrooms.I drank egg porridge stuffed with rice wine.

Both Mrs. Gu and Gu Raniang kept calling for Xue Jinxiu to pick up vegetables.

Xue Jinxiu looked at them, and at Gu Chuhan's eating movements, he was more elegant than her mother, and couldn't help laughing.

After dinner, Gu Chuhan washed up, and took Gu Shilang to the study to study and practice calligraphy.

Although Gu Shilang didn't study systematically enough, he didn't finish "Thousand Character Classic" and "San Zi Jing", and he also listened to "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius", but he has practiced his characters decently.

"Tomorrow, the housewarming must be busy. Brother Jiulang is still studying in the study?" Xue Jinxiu turned her head and asked.

Gu Ruoniang replied, "That's a daily homework, no matter how busy Brother Nine is, he must complete it!"

Xue Jinxiu nodded, feeling that Gu Chuhan was informal but principled.

The new kang was burned for several days, and a thick mattress was laid out. Except for Mrs. Gu who accepted the bed, everyone slept soundly and dreamlessly until dawn.

Gu Raniang stayed at home to cook, and Gu Chuhan and Mrs. Gu rushed to the town and bought a bunch of chicken, fish, meat and eggs. There were all kinds of vegetables at home. The Sun family and the Wang family had vegetable plots, and the second Gu also asked him to pick his family's vegetables.

After breakfast, Mrs. Wang came over in a hurry, and Mrs. Sun and Gu Raniang started to work on the noon dinner.

It was the Xie family who came the fastest. Xie Gaozhi and Mrs. Zhao brought their youngest son Xie Sanlang, Xie Yuanzhi and Mrs. Zhou brought their daughter Xie Siniang. Except for Xie Dalang and Xie Erlang who were in the school, almost the whole family moved.

Xie Yuanzhi came early just to talk more, and specially asked his daughter to change into a newly made skirt.It's just that when he saw Xue Jinxiu in Gu's house, he was not as good-looking as his daughter, but she was dressed in silver inlaid with jade, pearls, and jade bracelets, which immediately compared her to him, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.

Gu Chunxiu also came here early, not only her, but also Sun Weimin.

Gu Chuhan finally saw the real person of this eldest uncle. He was not tall, but his figure was already a bit blessed. He had a round face with high cheekbones, but he was dressed in silk and satin, and he wore a jade wrench on his hand.

Sun Weimin also looked Gu Chuhan up and down, thinking of those rumors, his eyes flashed quickly, and he went into the main room with a smile.

Gu Chunxiu sent gifts, two large boxes of snacks, a piece of ten catties of meat, three pieces of cloth, and six small porcelain bowls.

From time to time, Gu Chunying's family also came.

Xie Fangyun and Xie Xiangyun also came together.

Mrs. Li and Li Jiazhu also brought Li Da Niu three over to recognize the door.

Lian Shi didn't seem to have the scene of going up to the beam, so he also brought Gu Xianniang over, but he talked to Gu Chunxiu as soon as he came, and showed her how much Gu Xianniang had learned in Jinxiufang, how long it took to go there, and how long she was able to make clothes and earn money. That's a few taels of silver!The flags on the body are all made by myself!
As for Gu Xianniang’s claim at home that the sewing machine was made by Gu Chuhan, Gu Er Er didn’t believe it, and Lian Shi didn’t believe it even more, because it was Gu Chuhan who seduced Cheng Yi and got the benefits of dedicating his life, and he boasted that it belonged to him!
Gu Chunxiu didn't really want to tell her that she liked Gu Raniang.After a few months, Gu Raniang has become a slim girl, not only has she grown taller, but her flesh is no longer thin and sallow, she has a fair face, a gentle personality, and she is also capable.Even if there are no parents, the third bedroom is not what it used to be. They are willing to marry Gu Ranniang, but they are not willing to marry the daughter of the second bedroom!

She didn't need her to help with the cooking. After looking around the room and complimenting her, she dragged Mrs. Gu to talk about the marriage again, "We are at home during the Dragon Boat Festival, let's see each other first! The parents of this family have very different personalities. Really good, the guy has a good personality, can talk and come to things, and is very stable and reliable in his work! If you marry into his family, you will definitely not be offended!"

Mrs. Gu thought for a while, "Is it because the guy doesn't look too ostentatious?"

Gu Chunxiu said "good-looking but can't be a meal" on the lips, thinking of Gu Chuhan, smiled and said, "Hey! What's the point of not being ostentatious, since I said it to Ran Niang, it must not be crooked! Although it is not as good as Jiulang He looks handsome, but he is a good person, and knows how to live! When Ranniang marries, she won’t have to step on the ground, it’s a good day to see!”

Gu's mother-in-law's two daughters, the eldest daughter chose a poor-looking and good-looking family, who has been acquainted with wealth for so many years, but it's not good to say that going out, she is tall and beautiful, so she found Sun Weimin.The little girl wanted to pick a good-looking one, but she looked decent when she stood up, she had a tight life, and she still had to look at her face.

She was hesitating here, but Lian had already called Gu Chunxiu, "Chunxiu! I can count on you for your niece! Lady Ran is your niece, and Lady Xian is also your niece!" with a smile on her face. He said, gnashing his teeth with hatred in his heart.She said so many good things and made up things, but she said that she had no good family, but in the blink of an eye she told that little bitch Gu Raniang that she had a family!
Gu Chunxiu was a little embarrassed, and smiled embarrassingly, "I'm just running errands for him and passing on a message!" Tell her that he fell in love with Gu Raniang and asked her to make peace.

Lian Shi was even annoyed when she heard this. She also thought about letting her daughter marry into the Sun family. Her eldest aunt would not be offended as a mother-in-law.In the end, even the boss didn't want to!It is said to help each other to see each other, and it is now like this!
The more she thought about it, the more she hated her, Lian sneered, "I'm helping others spread the word, I don't know when I met Ran Niang? My Xian Niang is just too stupid, I have to tell her!"

Gu Chunxiu frowned, "Second sister-in-law is not afraid to spread the word..."

Mrs. Gu's face was already darkened with anger, thinking about the housewarming today, she took two deep breaths to suppress her anger.

Over there, Xie Yuanzhi looked at the opportunity and asked Gu Chuhan, "This girl from Xue's family looks strangely neat, and looks good in clothes, are you just taking her home?"

Gu Chuhan raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a joking smile on his face, "Second uncle! The girl from the Xue family came back to live with the second sister for a day, and it was also a housewarming gift for shopkeeper Xue and the proprietress!"

Xie Yuanzhi smiled sheepishly, "I think this girl is good! If this falls into our house, wouldn't it be a good thing!"

Gu Chuhan chuckled twice, "Is the cousin's marriage done?"

"Not yet! Both your second aunt and I are reluctant to let her go to someone else's house!" Xie Yuanzhi said with a busy smile.The words are extremely ambiguous.

"My daughter wants to marry and go out to live in someone else's house, so she should be more cautious!" Gu Chuhan nodded, and went to see how the dishes were doing.

Mrs. Wang and Gu Raniang were sweating profusely from work. Seeing her coming, "Jiulang! The dishes can be served on the table! Serve the cold dishes first, and the hot dishes will be ready soon! Several big dishes are ready!"

"Okay!" Gu Chuhan responded, and called Gu Shilang and Li Erlang to help move the table.

Li Jiazhu looked at it and hurriedly set up tables and stools.

There were dozens of people, big and small, and four tables were set up.

After a noisy meal, Mrs. Sun helped to pack things. Everyone sat in the room and talked, listening to Mr. Gu showing off his eldest son's fame as a scholar, how many land taxes he could exempt, and their family would not have to pay taxes in the future. Everyone is favored by their family and does not pay taxes. How much money can be saved this year.

Xie Gaozhi's eyes were almost burning with anger, he couldn't stay any longer, he called his son to leave early.

Xie Yuanzhi's family had no choice but to leave as well. In today's situation, there is nothing to say at all, so it's better to leave early.

Xie Fangyun and Xie Xiangyun also left early and went home.

It was Gu Chunxiu who walked slowly. Seeing that Lianshi was gone, she discussed with Mrs. Gu that when the wheat was harvested, there was someone at home, so she brought the young man to see each other.

Mrs. Gu agreed, "I don't have time at home now, I can only wait for the wheat to be harvested!"

After sitting for a while, Gu Chunxiu said to leave.

Gu Chunying was half a moment behind, "What kind of family did the elder sister tell Mother Ran? Has Mother seen it?"

"I haven't seen it yet!" Mrs. Gu replied.

After hearing this, Gu Chunying pursed her lips, "Then let's talk about it after the mother sees you if you are not satisfied with that!"

"What? You also told Ran Niang?" Mrs. Gu asked.

"The family background is naturally not as good as what the elder sister said, let's talk about it after my mother has seen it!" Gu Chunying didn't say much, and called Qian Shifeng back home.

Mrs. Gu trusts and relies on Gu Chuhan very much now, and after cleaning up, she tells Gu Chuhan about seeing each other.

Gu Raniang disagreed, "Mother's filial piety has not yet passed, and my father's life and death are unknown, and I don't want to say goodbye at this time!" Jiulang is not a real boy, although she is much better now, she is a girl after all.She can't stand up as an elder sister, but she can't leave the mess of the family to her and get married by herself!
Mrs. Gu said angrily to her, "It's not that you are asked to marry now! Let's see first, if it's good, we will settle it! Marriage must be a filial piety! It's best if your father can come back and watch you get married , that's really good!"

Gu Raniang was still unwilling.

Gu Chuhan guessed what she was thinking. Although she didn't want to marry Gu Raniang early, she couldn't keep Gu Raniang according to her perception. Only by adapting to this society can she live. "Second sister, see each other first! Good Let’s talk first! Since you can’t delay, then don’t delay! The good ones will be picked away later!”

Mrs. Gu also preached, "If you can find a good family, your mother can rest in peace! If you don't look for it all the time, you will really be an old lady? What about the younger brothers and sisters?"

Gu Raniang frowned and did not refute, but she still didn't want to.

But Gu Chuhan is in charge, and he waved his hands to set a date for seeing each other, "Let's go through this test first! Don't be ugly! Don't be scumbag! Don't be poor!"

"Then I can't find it!" Mrs. Gu scolded her.

Gu Chuhan raised the corner of his mouth, "There are so many! As long as we are good, we can choose whatever we want!"

Mrs. Gu smiled and shook her head, "Hurry up and tidy up, I have to set up a stall tomorrow! The wheat will be harvested in a few days!"

It takes a few days for her family to collect and plant sorghum on the two acres of land.

Gu Chuhan responded and was busy cleaning up the stalls.

The next day I got up early, had a simple breakfast, and rushed to the county town to set up a stall, "Jinxiu! You and the second sister go to the embroidery workshop first! There are not many people here, and there is no need for you to work here!"

Gu Raniang was also reluctant and stayed to help.Xue Jinxiu looked at it and didn't leave, "I'll go with Sister Ranniang after breakfast is done!"

Gu Chuhan refused to listen, so he had to let them.

After breakfast, it was almost time (nine o'clock), Gu Raniang and Xue Jinxiu hurriedly washed their hands and rushed to the embroidery workshop.

"Sister Ran Niang!"
