Gu Sanniang returned to the Qin family's compound, at that time, Xiao Yezi and Yu Ge'er were picking up stones under the corridor of the East Chamber, and Shen Zhuo was sitting under the window borrowing light to read, he looked up and saw Gu Sanniang coming back, raised his lips and smiled at her, Gu Sanniang said casually: "Read the book." ”

Shen Zhuo put down the book in his hand, and he asked, "Is the business in the shop okay today?" ”

"On rainy days, business is much colder." Gu Sanniang replied.

The two talked a few words, and Gu Sanniang went back to the West Chamber to prepare dinner.

Before working in the embroidery village, Gu Sanniang got up early and worked greedily at night, and the family relied on Xiao Yezi to do a mess of things, since Gu Sanniang quit her job and opened a shop, she took over these things by herself, Xiao Yezi can also be like a girl from other families, and in her free time, she grabs and kicks the shuttlecock and jumps the leather rope with the children, and there are a few children in the alley who dislike her for not having a father, and is instigated by the adults to reject Xiao Yezi, Xiao Yezi is also a tough person, others ignore her, she doesn't pay attention to others, Anyway, there are royal brothers and the little grandchildren of Aunt Qin's family in the courtyard to accompany them.

After being busy for a long time, Gu Sanniang was steaming rice in the kitchen, at this time, Aunt Qin walked in, Gu Sanniang saw that her feet were stained with muddy water, and it was obvious that she came back from outside, so she said, "Auntie is here." ”

Aunt Qin was holding a basket in her hand, she took a few potatoes from it and gave them to Gu Sanniang, and said, "I just went out to visit the door, and the Zhang family gave them to me in the alley." ”

Gu Sanniang didn't refuse, she accepted the potatoes, and saw Aunt Qin looking at her with straight eyes, as if she had something to say, she smiled and said, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Aunt Sun went to look for you today?" Aunt Qin asked.

Gu Sanniang smiled, Aunt Sun and Zhao Li had only been gone for a long time, and even Aunt Qin knew about it, which shows that there are really many women with long tongues in this world.

"It's here, saying that he wants to tell me about the matchmaker, and the man is Fuquan, the nephew of the Zhao family who sells cloth next door to me, but I refused." Gu Sanniang said.

"Good refusal!" Aunt Qin took a sip in her mouth, and she said: "This Aunt Sun is old and confused, Zhao Fuquan is a few years younger than you, and now she is in her twenties and still lives at her uncle and aunt's house, if you marry him, what will he do to support your mother and son?" Is it possible that you should live with her at his uncle's house? ”

Call Aunt Qin to see, this Zhao Fuquan is not well-intentioned, Gu Sanniang is a widow, but he has a shop, if he marries Gu Sanniang, he will not jump from a buddy to a shopkeeper, and again, in the past half a year, she has looked at it coldly, Gu Sanniang is still compatible with Shen Zhuo, two people, you have difficulties I stretch out my hand, although Shen Zhuo has a fame, but it is not like the person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, a few days ago he was not worried that Gu Sanniang went to Tongcheng alone, and went with him, if there is no love for the mind, Why?

Gu Sanniang sighed softly, she said: "The eldest lady said very much, I have been married, even if I remarry in the future, I will think more, and I don't want to marry for a while, I followed Xiao Yezi and his father, he left at a young age, I have been guarding him for three years, and it can be regarded as a whole piece of my heart." ”

Aunt Qin listened to the thoughts in her heart, she was happy for a while and worried for a while, happy that Gu Sanniang was affectionate and righteous, she didn't misunderstand this person, but she was worried that Shen Zhuo wanted to wait for three years, and she didn't know if Shen Zhuo could wait, she thought about it again, Shen Zhuo would only be silent and be good to Gu Sanniang, but he never revealed his intentions, and he never knew what he meant.

Gu Sanniang, who was originally busy, saw the happy and worried look on Aunt Qin's face, and couldn't help but look at her twice, and she asked strangely, "Auntie, do you still have something to say?" ”

Aunt Qin hurriedly looked serious, since Shen Zhuo didn't speak, she didn't talk much, after all, this matter still depends on the creation of the two of them, I just hope that the two of them can recognize their respective minds, and don't make extraneous branches.

"It's okay, but I still have to mention you, Aunt Sun is here to protect you today, I don't know if some people's minds will be activated, your own capital is not bad, there will only be a lot more things like this in the future, you have to keep your eyes open, and you can't let yourself out lightly."

Their Dayuan national style is open, and the remarriage of widows from ordinary people's families will not attract criticism, besides, Gu Sanniang is a capable person, and she is a young young woman, and she still has a money-making shop in her hand.

Gu Sanniang said with a smile: "I know, if someone comes to ask me again, I will keep it first, and let you help me palm." ”

Aunt Qin nodded: "This is the best." ”

The two gossiped for a long time, Gu Sanniang's dinner was almost cooked, Aunt Qin went back to the main house, and after a while, Xiao Yezi pulled Brother Yu in, Gu Sanniang saw that the two children had dirty hands, so she took out a cloth towel to wipe their hands, and reprimanded them softly.

Even if they were scolded, Xiao Yezi and Yu Ge'er were not afraid, the two of them kept giggling in their mouths, making Gu Sanniang so angry that they couldn't cry or laugh, she stretched out her hand and slapped them on the back, she asked Xiao Yezi again: "Have you written the homework left by Uncle Shen, have you been studying seriously these days?" ”

Gu Sanniang herself is not very literate, but she still attaches great importance to her daughter's study, she is a female student in Shen Chu's school, of course, it is not that no one gossips, saying that it is useless for girls to study, she sent her daughter to the school to mix with a group of boys, there is no personality, Gu Sanniang does not pay attention to it, occasionally someone says these things in front of her, she only deduces that her daughter has no one to take care of, and it is just right to be disciplined by a gentleman in the school.

"I wrote it a long time ago, and I memorized the book, and Uncle Shen said it word for word." Xiao Yezi said proudly.

Hearing that her daughter had won Shen Zhuo's praise, Gu Sanniang was very happy in her heart, but she didn't show half a point on her face, but advised: "Learn from your Uncle Shen well, don't let down your Uncle Shen." ”

Xiao Yezi nodded sensibly, and the royal brother on the side saw that Gu Sanniang cared for Xiao Yezi, and hurriedly said: "I'm also done writing, and my father said that I did a good job." ”

Gu Sanniang touched the top of Yu Ge'er's head, and she said: "You can't be complacent, you should study with your father, and strive to come back with a top prize when you grow up." ”

Brother Yu shook his head and said: "Daddy said, reading and reading is not for the sake of gaining fame, as long as I am wise and reasonable, even if I am a merchant who walks the streets and alleys." ”

Gu Sanniang was speechless for a while, this Shen was clumsy, and she didn't know what to teach Brother Yu'er, Xiao Yezi was fine, even if she expected her to take the exam, she couldn't take the exam, but Brother Yu was a serious boy, and he was born smart and clever, how could he teach his children not to be motivated, this is not to say that she doesn't look down on small businessmen and hawkers, but even if she can be an official who has nothing to eat, why do she want to go to that difficult road?

However, Gu Sanniang was inconvenient to say this, she thought that the children were promising, and they should be rewarded, so she said to Yu Ge'er: "Wait for Aunt Zi to stew egg custard, and leave it at Auntie's house for dinner, okay?" ”

Brother Yu couldn't wait, he held his little belly and said loudly: "Okay." ”

Gu Sanniang smiled, turned around and returned to the kitchen, less than a cup of tea, she came out with a bowl of stewed tender eggs, Xiao Yezi helped to get the dishes and chopsticks, Gu Sanniang took the two children to sit around the table and eat dinner.

In less than a moment, Shen Zhuo came over, he came to call Brother Yu'er to go home and eat, but Brother Yu'er was eating with a smooth mouth at this time, how could he follow his father back to eat those half-cooked meals.

Shen Zhuo, who was disgusted by her own son, was very helpless, Gu Sanniang couldn't help but be a little funny when she saw it, she could keep her brother Yu to eat, but it was not good to keep Shen Zhuo to eat, so Shen Zhuo had to shake his head and sigh and turned back to the East Chamber.

Early the next morning, the sky was clear, Gu Sanniang cleaned up the chores at home early, and was ready to go to the shop, who knew that before he walked out of the alley, he saw Fuquan guarding under the banyan tree at the entrance of the alley, he saw Gu Sanniang coming out, hurriedly stepped forward, and shouted: "Gu shopkeeper." ”

There were a few women who were washing next to the well, and when everyone saw that Fuquan had come to the door, they stopped their men and looked at them.

Gu Sanniang's face burned red, and when she saw the inquiring gazes of others, she only felt ashamed and angry, and said, "Why are you here?" ”

At this time, Fuquan's full of wit was gone, he looked at Gu Sanniang, and said with a look on his face: "Shopkeeper Gu, am I bored with you?" ”

Gu Sanniang was angry in her heart, and her tone was not very good, she said: "I didn't realize it before, but today is the first time I found that you are so ignorant." ”

Fuquan was scolded by her, his face was red, he just looked down at the upper of his shoes, Gu Sanniang turned a tiger face, and said: "I will tell your aunt everything you need to say, I just hope you can listen to your uncle and aunt." ”

Gu Sanniang's words were very harsh, and Fu Quan didn't even dare to raise his head for a while, but if he wanted him to forget it, he was a little unwilling, so he dared to ask again: "Even if you think I'm bad, you should tell me what's wrong, or tell me how to die?" ”

"If you don't give up, what do you have to do with me, I advise you not to entangle, lest your uncle and aunt be faceless when you get it."

Fuquan's stubbornness came, he stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not trying to pester you, I just want to know what's wrong with me?" ”

His voice was not small, provoking the women watching from afar to point at him, Gu Sanniang was annoyed, her original good mood was ruined, and she wanted to make people laugh in vain, no matter who she was, she was just about to say something heavy to this Fuquan, when she heard a deep voice behind her say: "It's early in the morning, what is this doing?" ”
