60. Chapter 60
Recently, there are two happy events in the Qin family's compound, one is that Aunt Qin has newly recognized her goddaughter, this goddaughter is Gu Sanniang, who has known her for nearly ten years, and the other thing is that her godlady Gu Sanniang wants to marry Shen Zhuo, the old man who lives in the same courtyard.
Two years ago, Gu Sanniang and Shen Juren showed their hearts to each other, just because Gu Sanniang vowed to be widowed for her deceased husband for three years, Shen Zhuo was willing to wait for her for three years.
Speaking of the family affairs of Shen Zhuo and Gu Sanniang, it is also simple, one of the two is that there is no one in her mother's family and is not bound by her husband's family, and the other is that her hometown is far away in the capital, and she makes her own decisions about everything, so there is no need to alarm others.
On the day of the merger, the old blind fortune teller on the street looked at Shen Zhuo's eight characters and said that he was a general and a general, and one day he would go straight to the top. Then he gave Gu Sanniang a batch of eight characters, but said that she was like the reincarnation of Coptis chinensis, and she would soak in bitter water all her life, but she met Shen Zhuo, and merged with his eight characters, and it was a perfect match in the world.
Approved here, the old blind man frowned again, Aunt Qin was pleased to hear it, seeing his hesitant appearance, she hurriedly asked, the old blind man sighed, and said in his mouth If he leaks the secret of heaven, the Jade Emperor is afraid that he will not be able to spare him after death, Aunt Qin is impatient, and slapped more than a dozen big coins on his table, and the old blind man spoke again, saying that Gu Sanniang had a life-threatening disaster in the future, and she survived, and she also wore the gorgeous clothes of Mrs. Yipin, and she couldn't stand it, I was afraid that she would attract a catastrophe. Aunt Qin hurriedly asked how to crack it, and the old blind man thought for a long time, saying that if he wanted to crack it, he had to be on Shen Zhuo, and he didn't know what to do.
Aunt Qin heard what he said as if she didn't say it, rolled her eyes at the old blind man a few times, went home, and after going back, she talked to Gu Sanniang about the eight characters, just told her the good words of the old blind man, but she hid the fact that she was going to be robbed, saving the happy day, and provoking Gu Sanniang to feel uncomfortable.
Today, by taking care of the relatives, Aunt Qin set up a few tables of banquets at home, invited close relatives and neighbors to join in the fun, Gu Sanniang's shop and Shen Zhuo and the school hall also specially rested for a day, early in the morning, Gu Sanniang combed a fashionable bun, and changed into a new dress, and was going out to buy gifts, she just came out of the West Chamber, met Shen Zhuo, Shen Zhuo saw that she was going out, and said: "Do you want to buy something, I will go with you." ”
Today's Gu Sanniang, wearing a blue oblique moire shirt on her upper body, and a pomegranate skirt underneath, changed into a bright dress, her whole person looks like she is a little brighter, even Xiao Yezi said that this dress is beautiful.
Gu Sanniang nodded twice, and Shen Zhuo took the basket in her hand and walked out of the alley together.
In the past three years, the gossip of the two of them has been passed on again and again, no matter whether it is good or bad, Gu Sanniang and Shen Zhuo are immovable, seeing that they are about to get married, those who were waiting to see the joke before felt bored, some of them were small-minded, and when they saw Gu Sanniang, they were going to be a lady, and they said a few words of congratulations, but their hearts were inevitably sour.
Let's say that Gu Sanniang and Shen Zhuo went to the bazaar, and first went to weigh five catties of noodles, five catties of sugar, and two boxes of various pastries and fruits, plus the two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes and socks she had prepared before, these gifts are very decent in ordinary people's homes.
The two of them walked around the market for most of the day, each with his hands full of things, at this time it was not early, Gu Sanniang beckoned Shen Zhuo to go back, when they passed by their alley, a few neighbors who got together to chat saw that they had mentioned such a thing, and took the initiative to ask: "Sanniang, is this a gift for your godmother?" ”
Gu Sanniang nodded casually twice and said, "Yes." ”
Another woman interjected, and asked in a tone full of envy, "So much, did it cost a lot of money?" ”
Gu Sanniang smiled: "Godmother is good to me, no matter how much money you spend, it's worth it." ”
These are Gu Sanniang's sincere words, since the first year she went to the city to work, she has been renting in the courtyard of Aunt Qin's house, the two families you respect and love, never blushed, not long ago, she said that she wanted to recognize Aunt Qin as a godfather, Aunt Qin agreed, and solemnly invited the neighbors to witness, showing that sincerity is to put her in mind.
When Gu Sanniang was talking to someone, Shen Zhuo stood behind him and waited quietly, a woman saw that he was considerate of Gu Sanniang, and he was carrying heavy objects in his hands, but this Gu Sanniang only carried a small cloth bag in his hand, so he deliberately asked: "Shen Juren, Sanniang can spend money so much, don't you feel distressed?" ”
Gu Sanniang frowned, slightly unhappy, and Shen Zhuo, who was named, replied calmly: "She is the person who can make the most money in the family, she can spend money if she wants, whatever she likes!" ”
These women were choked by his words, although they are all ladies in charge of the family, but who dares to spend money to be as loud as Gu Sanniang, not to mention anything else, if she buys these things, if she takes them back to her mother's house, even if her own man doesn't say it, her mother-in-law's spit will spray you to death.
One of the women was not convinced, and said, "Sanniang has money in her hands, what can't she buy if she wants to?" It's just that when she marries Shen Juren, then it's not good to be a street shop again? After all, I haven't heard that the lady of Sun Ju's family is showing up to do business. ”
Shen Zhuo's face was still calm, he glanced at Gu Sanniang first, and then said: "If Sanniang is willing, she can go home and be a lady, if she is unwilling, even if she continues to open the shop, no one will come to me idle and have nothing to do." ”
After saying this, Shen Zhuo also glanced at them a few times, these chatting women looked at each other, even if they were stupid, they understood that Shen Zhuo was saying that they were idle people.
Shen Zhuo didn't bother to say more to them, he turned his head to Gu Sanniang and said, "It's not early, let's go back." ”
Gu Sanniang nodded twice, and went to the courtyard with Shen Zhuo, but they were all about to enter the door, Shen Zhuo saw that her face was still not very good-looking, and said: "If a few ignorant women are spoken, you can't be angry with them." ”
Gu Sanniang raised her eyelids and looked at him, and said, "Why do you want to say this to them, they should gossip about you in the future, maybe they will spread rumors that you eat soft rice." ”
Shen Zhuo smiled, and he said, "Why don't you dare to admit this, you are already more capable than me." ”
He said this very seriously, in the past two years, Gu Sanniang earned the first amount of silver by acting as Dai Chunlin's rouge, and then every other day, she had to go to Tongcheng in person, in recent years, Gu Sanniang has sold Tartar people's furs, Russian blankets, and even pearls from the South Seas, chiffon from the West, as long as it is a woman's household thing, what to make money she does, today's Longxiu Fang, is not just a shop that sells embroidery and rouge, but has become the favorite place for women in the entire county.
Last year, she finally saved enough money and went to the pawnshop to redeem the jade piece that Shen Zhuo had taken away the year before last, and Shen Zhuo, who took it back, didn't say anything, she was actually very happy in her heart, this was what his mother left him for thought, since the pawn, he originally thought that it would not be so easy to get it back, but who knew that Gu Sanniang really redeemed it for her.
Gu Sanniang's plan is to continue to save money, and then repay the seven hundred taels of silver they borrowed from Dongfang Jian, although Shen Zhuo always persuaded her not to worry, saying that Dongfang Jian did not wait to use the silver money, but Gu Sanniang also had her own thoughts, she thought selfishly, maybe Dongfang Jian would not put these hundreds of taels of silver in her eyes, but she was always afraid that others would despise Shen Zhuo for this, some things could be bought with silver, and some things could not be bought with silver, she had the ability to pay back the money, so she would not let others use this as an excuse to laugh at them.
The two looked at each other and neither spoke, until a voice came from inside: "You two are also funny, what are you doing standing at the door stupidly, why don't you enter the house?" ”
It turned out that Zhu Xiaoyue came out of the main house, and when she saw Gu Sanniang and Shen Zhuo, you look at me and I look at you, without saying a word, just looking at each other directly, I couldn't help but joke.
Gu Sanniang's face turned red, she turned her head and glared at Zhu Xiaoyue, and entered the main house with her things, at that time, there were many relatives in the house, these people were all familiar to Gu Sanniang, she said hello to them one by one, Aunt Qin looked at it with a smile on the side, and asked Gu Sanniang to sit next to her.
The house is full of women's families, everyone chatting together, left and right are just some short things in the family, Shen Zhuo sent something in, and went out to avoid suspicion, and after he left, someone asked Aunt Qin with a smile: "This person is your godson-in-law?" ”
The marriage letters of the two had been exchanged earlier, but they had not officially married, Aunt Qin nodded and smiled: "Exactly." ”
The woman couldn't stop nodding, looked at Gu Sanniang and said, "It looks quiet, I heard that he is still a man, and at first glance he is a person who knows how to feel distressed." ”
Gu Sanniang said a few words of modesty, but Aunt Qin was different, these two people were the big matchmakers she made, the man was gentle and considerate and famous, the woman was shrewd and capable and would make money, besides, she was her goddaughter, everyone knew that Aunt Qin couldn't wait to show off.
