The first wife of the strongest peasant daughter

Chapter 76
Qingshan Town and Gujia Village are just that far away. It can be said that there is no one in Qingshan Town who doesn't know about their old Gu's family. Now that they know, they are still close?Gu Chuhan hurriedly asked about the situation, "Who insured the matchmaker? Which one? What's the situation?"

She asked several times, but Mrs. Gu gave her an annoyed look, "It's a man with the surname He from the east of the town, and what is his name?"

"He Jingzhi!" Gu Shilang said hurriedly.

"That's right! I met someone. He's a very shy and gentle kid. You know his father. He's a carpenter in the east of the town. We built a house before and made furniture at home! The family is not rich, and their lives are worse than those in the village. It’s better, he has a craft. Two sons, the eldest, learned carpentry from his father, and also came to our house. The youngest son was sent to the county town as an apprentice. One sister is already married! There are four acres of land in the family. It's under the name of an old scholar, and you don't have to pay land taxes! The family is also very good at managing people!" When Mrs. Gu heard about this sister's trouble, she felt good, and immediately inquired about the situation.

Gu Chuhan thought of the master surnamed He who came to the house to make furniture. He was very honest without talking too much, but he couldn't remember when his son came with him, what he looked like, and who he was, "I haven't seen what kind of person he is! Have you met Second Sister?"

Gu Shilang hurriedly made a small report again, "Second Sister has seen it!"

Gu Chuhan's face turned black immediately, "What the hell? Have you seen it?"

Gu Raniang's face was red and embarrassed, "Jiulang!"

"When we saw each other, your second sister didn't know, but she bumped into her when she came back from picking vegetables in the old house!" Mrs. Gu said angrily.

The courtyard of the new house is paved with stone slabs, and rapeseed is scattered in the small open space of matts. The courtyard of the old house is full of vegetables, and the vegetables are pulled from the old house.

"How is it?" Gu Chuhan turned to ask Gu Raniang.

Gu Raniang blushed slightly, "I don't know if it's okay, grandma asked my aunt to inquire again."

Gu Chuhan frowned, "Call me over and let me check! And what about his parents? How about his brother? How about his sister? How about his sister-in-law's family? I've found out everything!"

"Do you want to dig out his grandparents and ancestors as well?" Mrs. Gu couldn't laugh or cry.

Gu Chuhan rolled his eyes towards the roof, "If there is a rat droppings in the house, it will disturb the peace of the house!" Although Gu Ranniang's temperament is resilient, she is still soft after all, just find a soft-hearted husband's family and live a long life. .

Mrs. Gu agrees with this, thinking of her own situation, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Let your aunt inquire and see how things are going, and I'll also ask the boy from the He family to come over."

"Okay! Let's take care of things one by one!" Gu Chuhan nodded.

When the other rooms heard that Gu Chuhan was back, they also came over to inquire about the news. They heard that they were still waiting for the news from above, but there was no useful news, and they all left again.

But save Gu Lingshan?Lian snorted, "That's the one who hacked people to death and took their lives. Exile for three thousand miles is already light! Do you think you can be exonerated if you hook up with a magistrate? It's wishful thinking!" But thinking that the thresher might make him Sanfang got a sum of money, but he secretly hated it.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Gu are thinking about whether the eldest son can also participate in the threshing machine. There must be money to make this thing, even if there is no share, then such a good reputation, let the eldest son also participate Stocks, wouldn't it be more beneficial to take the scientific examination in the future! ?
Gu Chuhan only pushed it to Cheng Yi and Cheng Ju's father and son, saying that she was waiting for the letter from the magistrate, and she didn't dare to ask more questions about the rest.He directly pushed back Mrs. Sun and Boss Gu.

Boss Gu wanted to go to Cheng Yi, and told Gu Chuhan, "Da Lang found out what was able to save your father, and he also ran away. He spent so much effort on your behalf. The thresher has to be counted on him." share!?"

Gu Chuhan looked at him for a long time, and threw him a sentence, "You can go to Cheng Yi and tell him to try it?" She gave Yan Junfeng both the thresher and the sewing machine, so she didn't care about anything in it. Just give her the money!
Find it!Boss Gu drove them to the county town to set up a stall and followed them to the county town to find Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi heard him say that the threshing machine let Gu Dalang also participate in it. He was already in a bad mood, and his face suddenly turned cold, "Everyone in the Gu family village knows that the threshing machine was made by Gu Chuhan, and it was their brothers who pulled the threshing machine. Gu Xiaoqian is not at home, so if you ask him to take a share, where will you buy it!?"

"Our family Da Lang and Jiu Lang can be regarded as brothers. Besides, the threshing machine came from our Gu family. When the rice is harvested, Da Lang will let him back..." Seeing his face getting more and more ugly, Boss Gu couldn't continue.

Cheng Yi's eyes were a little cold, "This threshing machine is not sold for a few dollars, and whoever gets a share, you want Gu Xiaoqian to take credit for it! If the people above check it out, he is guilty of deception! He is the one who suffered Afford it? Or your family can afford it!?"

Boss Gu hurriedly said again, "I've told Jiulang too! When Dalang is successful in the future, he will definitely help Jiulang, and he will also help to save the eldest son Sanlang!"

"Then you can ask Gu Xiaoqian to see if he is willing to ruin his career!" Cheng Yi lazily listened to what he had to say, then turned around and left.

Boss Gu's face was stiff and ugly for a long time.

Going back to the wonton stall again, looking at the bustling Mrs. Gu and Gu Chuhan, her complexion was even worse. When she walked to the pancake table, she said angrily, "When something good happens, I don't think of Da Lang! After the good thing is over, there are errands left. Find Dalang! After Dalang becomes an official in high school, he will also run errands for you!?"

Gu Chuhan raised his eyebrows and looked at him coldly.

Everyone waiting in line to buy sesame seed cakes looked at him strangely.

After Boss Gu finished speaking, he let out an angry snort and rushed away angrily.

Mrs. Gu's face turned blue with anger.

Sometimes people who often come to buy sesame seed cakes ask, "Jiulang! Who was that just now? Why don't you ask for something good? Did you offend someone?"

Gu Chuhan put on cotton gloves and took out the biscuits, and said with a smile, "Everyone wants good things, but whoever wants to find someone to share good things with others!"

She gave an ambiguous explanation and didn't directly say that Boss Gu is an uncle, which can be regarded as returning the curiosity of the diners, and they all nodded in agreement, "There are a lot of people who think about beautiful things these days! They all want to share the good things of other people's families with themselves." !"

Gu Chuhan took out the biscuits, "The five who have received money, whose are they?"

Just taking advantage of the gap, those who had already given money said how much they wanted, took the biscuits and left, and stopped gossiping.

After breakfast was over, Cheng Yi came over, "The workshop has been packed, when do you think you want to go there?"

"You can go there tomorrow! The masters of the sewing machine have already mastered it, and the threshing machine is also good at it, and that is easy. If there is a problem that cannot be solved, send me a letter!" Gu Chuhan said.

Cheng Yi frowned, and discussed with her about moving the whole family to Fucheng, "When the workshop is established, if you have money, you can also directly open a shop and hire people to do the work! It's easier to do business in Fucheng than in Baihe County! You I just happened to find a good teacher in Fucheng to study hard for a few years to prepare for the scientific examination! I just happened to stay away from the messy people here!"

Gu Chuhan brought up the set of arguments for rejecting Hongyu again, "My mother's filial piety has not yet passed. Although our siblings are not as good as those who are sincere and filial, and cannot marry in front of the grave, it is not easy to abandon the family. , just run away!"

"Keep your filial piety in mind, that's enough! The most important thing for you is to do something, to save your father. I believe your mother will be pleased if she knows it!" Cheng Yi persuaded her again, and wanted to drag her into the Go to Fucheng.Otherwise, the sewing machine will be handed over to Yan Junfeng and moved to Fucheng, and it will not be easy to see him again.

Gu Chuhan immediately said with a serious face a bunch of big words that filial piety is the first thing to do in life, and said again that her mother has not passed her filial piety, she will not leave the village, and she will not even live in the county seat.nonsense!She is still waiting for the unearthed black diamond potatoes, and will plant a large piece of them in the future!Opening a business of tens of acres or hundreds of acres, she just sits and counts the money and becomes the owner!
Cheng Yi failed in persuading him to leave, and his expression was a little bad, "Is it because of those rumors? Or is it because of what my mother told you?"

Gu Chuhan smiled, "If it's really because of those rumors, I won't hug your thigh! I really need money to save my father now!"

Cheng Yi opened his mouth, thinking that if this matter happened to him, he would make the same decision, so he had to give up reluctantly, "Then I'll give you the key to the small courtyard, and you can move in whenever you want! "

"That's no need, my grandma can't justify it! Give me the dividend on time, just give me more!" Gu Chuhan laughed, and if he really wanted to take his yard, the words would be even worse.

Cheng Yi had no choice but to set aside 50 taels of silver for her, "The money for the sewing machine, you spend it first! All the rest will be shared by Junfeng!"

Although Gu Chuhan didn't look at the account book, she also knew that there were only a few sewing machines out. She had already ordered a sewing machine and took 100 taels of silver. If she took this money, she would really take advantage of it. If she didn't want it, "It's fine if the sewing machine is mine." Already!"

Cheng Yi was very upset and took the man and the sewing machine back to Fucheng. Before leaving, he asked her to send a letter to him if she had something to do. You can also go to the Su family for urgent matters, but if you want to find the eldest son of the Su family, the Su family will not do it for his sake. Will reach out.But it's better to find him if you have something to do!
Gu Chuhan agreed and sent him away.

Hong Yu also heaved a sigh of relief, Cheng Yi is gone, and those nonsense rumors should stop completely!
Then I came to find Gu Chuhan and Mrs. Gu, and said that I had visited someone’s family, Gu Raniang, and let them see how they were doing. "The family is also in business. There is a rice noodle shop in the south of the city, and it also sells groceries. Three sons!" The second child in his family is not bad, and he is good at talking and doing things! If you think it’s okay, you can see each other first!" When Ran Niang’s marriage is settled, it’s time to talk about Jiu Lang!
Gu Chuhan responded directly, saying to see each other.

After closing the stall, he left immediately and went to see each other at Hongyu's house.

Mrs. Gu was a little bit unsure. Their family was only in the countryside, and they only had two acres of land. Although her granddaughter was good, she couldn't help but see what other people thought.If you marry a high-ranking daughter, then you can't marry a high-ranking person who is not considered by people. By then, you will have no worries about food and clothing, but you will not live like a human being!
Hong Yu led the people over, and the young man's aunt came with him.

Gu Chuhan sized him up, and found that the young man was ordinary, an ordinary young man, he didn't look like he had any bad habits, the kind that people couldn't say bad or good about.

But the boy’s aunt kept talking non-stop, “There are three brothers in the family, my elder brother and sister-in-law love him the most, and I love him the most! She’s smart when she’s a villain, and she’s been managing business with the family! Except she can’t talk sweet words, she should Those who talk and do things are not bad! It’s not me boasting, just my Erlang, there are more than one family who come to ask for marriage! Erlang is also sincere, and he wants to find someone he likes, and he will be good to his wife for the rest of his life! See Look, I won't suffer any grievances from now on!"

She was the one who was talking, and Chen Erlang didn't say a few words at all. Mrs. Gu smiled and talked to her, while winking at Gu Chuhan.

Gu Chuhan went over to talk to him and asked him what he was in charge of the business and what he did on weekdays.

Chen Erlang replied that he was in charge of the grocery store, and he knew something about the goods from the north and the south.

Selling goods from the south to the north is a technical job. When Gu Chuhan heard this, he couldn't understand after asking a few words.

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Mrs. Chen over there immediately took over the conversation and spoke for him, "The business in the shop is still small now, and it is trying to grow bigger. In the future, it will be more than one shop by running back and forth. !"

Gu Chuhan looked at Chen Erlang and nodded no further questions.

Both Chen Shi and Chen Erlang have met Gu Raniang, and Chen Shi has also talked to Gu Raniang, with a gentle and manageable temperament.

After reading the photo, Gu Chuhan was not too optimistic.She also knows the current conditions of their family, and it is not easy to find a good family for Gu Raniang in the county.People in these county towns have a sense of superiority over those in their villages. Even if they have better conditions, they are still rural in the eyes of those people.Unless a landlord who has won fame like Master Qin's family, let them take a high look.

It took a lot of effort for Hong Yu to find such a family.I thanked her and said that I was going home to discuss it, and I also inquired and investigated it.

"Okay! Then you go back and discuss it! If you think it's possible, you're willing, if not, let's look for it!" Hong Yu laughed.She knows better about the situation in the county town, and she tries her best to find someone who is better in all aspects, mainly to ensure that Gu Ranniang will not be offended and angered when she gets married.Otherwise, Ran's life is not good, even if Jinxiu gets married in the future, she will cause trouble because of this matter, and the two children will live a life of resentment, that is definitely not what she wants to see!

When I got home, Mrs. Wang also inquired about the news, "I inquired about the situation of He Jing's house again, and it was the same as what the matchmaker said. People! His mother is quicker, and she is also very enthusiastic about people. There are two house lands in the family, and I guess she plans to separate the two sons in the future! That will save a lot of trouble! His sister is rarely heard of, and she seems to be married very well. !Then He Jingzhi, I have inquired more about him, he is honest, hard working, he is a kind person! He looks good too!"

The credibility of what Wang said was still very high. Gu Chuhan made some inquiries on his own the next day, specifically inquiring about the gossip women and wives, those who were most likely to have business contacts, and those little children.

On the contrary, some people said that He Jingzhi could not speak well, and even said that he was unwilling to give a few shavings and sawdust, but he was more obedient, which also proved that he was a kind person.

Letting them see each other again, the He family understood that there was hope, so Cui specially changed her son into new clothes, and his father, He Mugen, brought them home.

Seeing people coming, Gu Chuhan looked at He Jingzhi first, he was pretty, but he looked gentle and shy, and he didn't dare to give Shiro and Ruonian a wooden top and bamboo dragonfly, and his eyes were quite clear. Without purpose, it is much more pleasing to the eye than that of Huang Shengfan.

He Mugen also had a simple face, smiling and chatting with Mrs. Gu, praising Gu Chuhan for being smart, and knocking out those cabinets according to her instructions. He told many people, and they all said yes, they all praised Gu Chuhan, and some people asked him to open the cupboards. Cabinets like that.

At that time, he asked Gu Chuhan if he could beat him, but Gu Chuhan told him to do it anyway.

Mrs. Gu asked some more about the family situation, and He Mugen replied honestly, saying that although the carpenter's craftsmanship is not very good, it has been passed on to the eldest son. Can't die of hunger.

Gu Chuhan talked to He Jingzhi over there, asking him about his life and future plans.

He Jingzhi replied with a blushing face, "I still can't learn my skills well enough, and I can't make a good bed yet. When I get more solid in my skills, I'll see if I can learn from my master again. At least, at least You must be able to make a thousand-work bed."

A good carpenter craftsman, the ultimate in furniture is the Qiangongbabu bed.Rich families with daughters start looking at wood and making beds many years in advance.Therefore, whether it can make a thousand crafts bed is also a measure of the beauty of a carpenter's craftsmanship.

He still had some ambition and ideas, Gu Chuhan looked at him again, he was a little dissatisfied with his stature, at least he must have a pair of long legs, his legs can't keep up, "How old are you this year?"

"I'm sixteen this year." He Jingzhi said shyly.

Gu Chuhan nodded, looked at his height again, guessed that he would be longer, and he was not too short compared to other people, he was considered average, so he didn't pick this one anymore.Ask him directly, "Have you seen me, my second sister? Have you talked to her? Do you understand each other?" After the basic conditions have been discussed, it's time to talk about compatibility.

When He Jingzhi heard this, his face turned even redder, "See... I've seen you! You're very nice! Very good!"

He said two things in succession, and he was very satisfied with Gu Raniang.

The corner of Gu Chuhan's mouth twitched, could this really be love at first sight?
Mrs. Gu also felt quite satisfied.

He Mugen winked and didn't wait too long, seeing what he said, he took He Jingzhi away and went home to wait for the letter.

"How is it? That Chen Erlang's family, do you want to inquire again?" Mrs. Gu sent the guest back and turned to ask Gu Chuhan.

Seeing her satisfied expression, Gu Chuhan felt that it was really difficult to choose the He family, so he wanted to let Gu Raniang get along with He Jingzhi first, so that he could see whether it was suitable or not, but if this was the case, it would be fine for He Jingzhi Hurt, Gu Raniang will be splashed with dirty water.

"Then inquire about the situation of the Chen family!"

Mrs. Gu also doesn't want to miss a good family. The He family looks very reliable. The Chen family's current situation is good, but who dares to say that their family will not be better than the Chen family in the future?Even if there is an emergency and the third child cannot be rescued, there is Jiulang, and their family will never be worse!If people are really nice and feel a little bit superior now, then their family will be better in the future, her mother's family will be richer and tougher, and Ran Niang's waist will be harder, and she will be more popular and live a more comfortable life.

Gu Chuhan took advantage of his spare time in the morning to inquire about the situation of the Chen family and Erlang Chen.

In the end, he ran into Qian Chang who was hanging out with two friends.

"Yo! Who do I think this is? So it's the magistrate's best friend! What's wrong? Mr. Cheng's workshop has moved away, and the people have also left. Did you get something, or are you tired of playing and don't want you anymore?" Qian Chang sarcastically asked with a contemptuous smile.

Gu Chuhan snorted, "Is your skin itchy again?"

Qian Chang can't touch them now, but his mouth is even more unscrupulous, snorting, "It's only been fresh for a few days, you really think you can beat me up again, and send me to jail, someone will back you up!? "

"I hit you with someone to back you up?" Gu Chu said coldly.If you are lazy to talk nonsense with him, you will start to raise your feet.

Qian Chang was addicted to talking, but he was really afraid of being beaten. After being locked in prison for so long, the business of his family's restaurant would be affected when he came out again.If there are too many people, you can't beat them, and if you have few people, you will only be beaten!Those yamen servants who were fined don't take him seriously anymore!
Seeing that Gu Chuhan was about to attack, he ran away, faster than a rabbit.

"Fuck you, run fast!" Gu Chuhan cursed, and continued to inquire.

Many people have eaten Gu's tiger skin wontons and Huangqiao biscuits, know her, and when they see her inquiring about Chen's Erlang, they think that they are talking to her second sister, and a daughter-in-law tells her to think more about it. "Your family is not short of bride price now, is it?"

With such a sentence, Gu Chuhan knew that the Chen family might not be able to do it.Hongyu found the Chen family comprehensively when she was willing to marry their family, but she couldn't just find Gu Raniang a bad in-law's family.Live comfortably, even if things are not going well, I am happy in my heart!

After inquiring around again, she asked her to find out about the married daughter of the neighbor of the Chen family, and said that if she really wanted to marry the Chen family, she could find the eldest son of the Chen family.

"The eldest son of the Chen family is already married. What this means is that among the three brothers of the Chen family, only one is worth marrying, and the master is the only one worth marrying, and nothing else is allowed!" Gu Chuhan said directly to Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu sighed, "I just want to find someone with a good temper and good character for Ran Niang, who can live a happy life! It doesn't matter if you are rich or expensive, the most important thing is to live a comfortable life!"

Gu Chuhan also agreed, "Then don't investigate the He family anymore!"

But Gu Chunxiu came to the door again, and wanted to talk to Huang Shengfan, "You all said he was a bit Menglang, and he really liked Ran Niang! He was interested in Ran Niang! He didn't go to my house again, and promised me a lot, From now on, the family will listen to Ran Niang, and let Ran Niang take care of the money, and let it go east and never go west! The betrothal gift is also prepared by [-]% more! Stay at my house and don’t leave, so I have to make another trip!"

Gu Chuhan frowned, "I disagree!"

"This is your sister's marriage. You are still young and don't understand what's going on here!" Gu Chunxiu said to her.

"My second sister doesn't agree either! Do you still force my second sister to marry?" Gu Chuhan's face darkened.

Gu Chunxiu told her earnestly that it would be great to find someone she likes to pamper, so that she can live a better life in the future.

Gu Chuhan didn't want to listen, so Huang Shengfan made her look like he was not a gentle and kind person, and she didn't have to find Gu Raniang a husband who could suppress him, at least he wasn't the kind who had too much of his own ideas and didn't care about other people's wishes!Although Lin Shengbao is not very good, there is a saying that is quite right, self-righteous!

Let Mrs. Gu tell her, and she will go out and investigate He Jingzhi in depth.

Gu Chunxiu frowned when she saw that she went straight out the door without showing any face, "Jiulang just took a trip to Fucheng, but his temper is getting worse!?"

"The matter of saving your third brother didn't work out, so don't mention it!" Mrs. Gu was still holding on to the news over there, and she didn't know how much the magistrate could do with those rumors.

Gu Chunxiu felt displeased when he heard this, and then talked about Huang Shengfan again.

Gu Chuhan had already come to Qingshan Town, and saw that there were sour plum soup and herbal herbal tea at the entrance of the alley, so he went to order a bowl of each, and while drinking, he asked someone about He Jingzhi, saying that he wanted to break furniture.

The mother-in-law who sold the sour plum soup was full of praise, so Gu Chuhan felt relieved to go to their house and praised a lot.

Gu Chuhan listened, and couldn't help laughing. They were all good words, so she went to try He Jingzhi again, and drank the herbal herbal tea in one gulp, "Grandma's herbal herbal tea is very good! The people are so enthusiastic! "

"Drink well and come back!" The mother-in-law smiled.

Gu Chuhan got up and walked towards the carpenter's shop of He Jing's House, but she didn't go far when she felt a rush of energy and blood, and a sharp pain in her stomach, she gasped for breath, but after a while, her head was sweating from the pain, Looking at Qiang next to him, he wanted to reach out to support him, but a mouthful of black blood spewed out.
