Li Luan'er didn't wait for Yan Chengyue, and in the evening, Yan Yi came back to report, only saying that Yan Chengyue stayed in Zhuangzi outside the city, and he couldn't come back until tomorrow afternoon.

On the second day, it was the day of the Gu family's marriage, and Mrs. Gu came early in the morning, Li Luan'er asked Sister-in-law Yang to bring gifts to go to the Gu family with Mrs. Gu, and she had a good understanding of the ancient well-digging matters.

Li Luan'er has never seen how to dig wells in ancient times, but Ruizhu and a few girls have seen them, and they have nothing to do, so they chatted about how to dig wells.

According to Ruizhu, before drilling the well, the reels should be erected in the selected place, and then the butterfly cone should be used to drill the well, and while drilling the well, the well should also be erected with wood, so as to prevent the landslide from hitting the people underneath.

Of course, this method is simple, the depth of the well can not be guaranteed, generally less than ten meters, the wells in ordinary villages are five or six meters, seven or eight meters are already considered deep wells.

After listening to Ruizhu's words, Li Luan'er asked: "If we dig a well in our house, will it be very large?" Effortless? ”

Ruizhu smiled: "Ordinary farmers in the village naturally can't afford to dig a well, but our house is not afraid, the slave calculates the account, and it will cost four or five taels of silver at most to dig a well, but it is just a day's food for a young grandmother." ”

Li Luan'er nodded when she heard this: "So I'm relieved." ”

When she heard such a price, she thought about finding time to go to her mother's house to help inspect the water veins, and help dig a well when the drought was not too strict, and the two Zhuangzi also needed to dig wells.

Not to mention that Li Luan'er was thinking about how to dig a well, but only that Sister-in-law Yang followed Mrs. Gu to Gu's house, and as soon as she entered the alley where Gu's house was located, she heard bursts of music from afar, and when she got closer, she saw that the gate of Gu's house was covered with red colors, which was very festive.

Mrs. Gu got out of the carriage, and Sister-in-law Yang also followed, she glanced at Mrs. Gu carefully, but saw that Mrs. Gu had a complicated expression on her face, and she was a little sad.

Sister-in-law Yang understood as soon as she thought about it, Gu Cheng's mother Zhong was Gu Cheng's wife, and she was the wife of the Gu family before her death, if Gu Cheng did not marry a wife, even if there was a concubine like Aunt Fu, Gu Lady could comfort herself and say that her mother was Gu Cheng's only wife, but now that Gu Cheng is married, she is a serious wife who has married a sedan chair, and Ma has entered the door, and it will not be long before there will be no impression of Zhong in this family, and at that time, It is impossible to say that the relationship between Mrs. Gu and her mother's family is even more distant and cold.

It's just that, according to Aunt Fu's approach, if the official family doesn't give Gu Cheng a marriage, I'm afraid that the Gu family won't be able to stop, and it's really annoying that Gu Lady is always harassed.

In order to be able to live a quieter life, Mrs. Gu also had to make a trade-off, but looking at it now, this trade-off really made her sad.

"Uncle, it's time for us to go in."

Seeing that Mrs. Gu was standing in front of the door without saying a word, Sister-in-law Yang had to open her mouth to remind.

Mrs. Gu forced a laugh: "Let's go in." ”

When I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged woman wearing a red shirt and skirt coming over, and the woman smiled when she saw Mrs. Gu: "The lady is back, hurry up and sit inside, you are a coquette, you can't be lazy." ”

The woman who greeted her, Sister-in-law Yang, didn't recognize it, but if she thought about it, she knew which wife of the Gu family Yuanzhi was.

"Aunt is well." Mrs. Gu saluted and presented the gift list she brought, and Sister-in-law Yang also hurriedly presented her own gift list, the woman glanced at it, and suddenly smiled even more happily: "This gift is really heavy enough, big lady." Look at Sister-in-law Yang again: "Who is this?" ”

Mrs. Gu smiled: "This is my sister-in-law's housekeeper, and my aunt also knows that my sister-in-law is now pregnant and it is really inconvenient to move, so she sent Mama Yang over to send a congratulatory gift." ”

"Your aunt and wife are really polite." The woman's smile showed even more wrinkles: "Mama Yang, please hurry up." ”

She only treated her as a few thoughtful courtesies, but she didn't know where she looked like a serious wife in charge of her behavior, but she was a little similar to the second child in the restaurant, Mrs. Gu pursed her lips and smiled, somehow, her face was a little hot, and she probably felt that this woman was really rude.

Sister-in-law Yang didn't have the slightest abnormality on her face, smiled and congratulated her, and then helped Mrs. Gu into the house.

While walking, Sister-in-law Yang asked Mrs. Gu: "Uncle, who was that just now?" ”

Mrs. Gu smiled: "That's my distant aunt, it's just that she has never been in the capital, she lives in Zhuangzi outside the capital, and it was probably because my father really didn't have anyone to help with this marriage, so I invited this aunt to come." ”

Sister-in-law Yang nodded to indicate that she knew, she followed Mrs. Gu to find a place to sit down, and after a while, a little girl came up with tea, and Sister-in-law Yang was also thirsty, so she took a sip and felt that this tea was really good, it seemed that it should not be something that the Gu family could take, Mrs. Gu was also a little surprised when she drank tea, so she found a little girl who called for pouring tea and asked: "Chunni, where did you buy this tea, it is fragrant when you drink it." ”

Chunni pursed her lips with a smile: "Where did I buy it, it was given by my wife's mother's family, and I only said that it was for today's hospitality." ”

"Sent by the Ma family?" Mrs. Gu was surprised again.

Chunni replied with a smile: "It's not like that, my wife's family not only sent tea, but also sent some silver and utensils some time ago, and yesterday I also sent some girls to help, only saying that his girl's once-in-a-lifetime wedding must be done beautifully, the uncle of the Ma family said that our family is poor, if you don't give some silver, this marriage must be done not decent, the eldest lady also saw that the door was covered with red and hung colors, and those were purchased with the silver of the Ma family." ”

Mrs. Gu's face turned even redder when she heard this: "Why does Dad want it?" ”

"It's really a ...... at home" Chunni wanted to say that the Gu family was afraid that they were about to be poor and couldn't open the pot, even if Gu Cheng was taller, he would have to eat, but when he saw that there was still a person sitting next to Mrs. Gu, she swallowed the words again.

Mrs. Gu sat for a while and heard that the marriage team was coming, so she and Sister-in-law Yang found a place where she lived earlier to rest, and heard a sound of joy in her ears, and Mrs. Gu suddenly sighed a little.

After worshipping heaven and earth, Mrs. Gu placed Sister-in-law Yang well, and said that she was going to see the new wife, and Sister-in-law Yang also knew that she was going to see Ma's, and only said that she didn't have to worry about going to see herself.

It's just that before Mrs. Gu went out, she heard a burst of noise and an extraordinarily miserable scream.

Mrs. Gu and Sister-in-law Yang were startled at the same time, and the two hurriedly went out of the house to see, but they heard that the sound came from the new house, and several guests had already rushed to the sound past, and Sister-in-law Yang didn't know what was going on, afraid that Mrs. Gu would be uncomfortable, and afraid that she would suffer, so she followed her to the new house.

When they got closer, they saw Aunt Fu and Gu Erniang coming out of the new house with a cloak full of wolves, and behind them, Ma Shi wore a red dress and chased after the two with a whip, and whipped the two with a whip while chasing.

"My wife spares ......"

Aunt Fu begged while dodging the whip: "The slave has no other thoughts, just wants to meet his wife." ”

"Mother spare her life, spare me and my aunt." Gu Erniang's face was full of tears, kneeling on the ground and holding Ma's legs and begging, she was already good-looking, this cry was even more delicate with pear blossoms and rain, and her body was thin, and the beauty was even more pitiful when she was in tears, and several guests had great sympathy for Gu Erniang.

Aunt Fu also turned her head and knelt on the ground and couldn't stop snorting: "Mrs. spare the slave, the slave is happy for the master, and he is also happy that there is a master in the family, so he thought about going over to see his wife first, and also asked the second lady to recognize his mother, the slave really has no bad intentions, slave ...... If the wife looks down on the slave and does not appear in front of the wife in the future, it will beg the wife to spare her life. ”

Aunt Fu cried and begged like this, coupled with Gu Erniang beside her, which showed the pity of the mother and son.

In addition, Ma's reputation is not very good, who in the capital doesn't know that she is fierce, at this time, all the guests have been looking at Aunt Fu's mother and daughter in their hearts, and they all think that Ma's is too rampant, although it is said that concubines are bought and sold, but Aunt Fu has served Gu Cheng for so many years, and she has children and housework, can this be the same as ordinary concubines, Ma married in and didn't say that it was better to deal with her aunt, but thought about torturing others, which was really a bit excessive.

Moreover, no matter what Gu Erniang says, she can be regarded as the concubine of the Ma family, and it is very wrong for her to treat the concubine so harshly.

The straight-minded wife couldn't help but stand up for Aunt Fu's mother and daughter, and some people whispered that Ma's was not.

Mrs. Gu just sneered from the side, and Sister-in-law Yang whispered beside Mrs. Gu: "This Aunt Fu's mother and daughter are not good, just now the slave clearly saw Gu Erniang bowing her head and smiling secretly, I can't say that it was they who provoked the Ma family just now to make the Ma family so angry, they made up their minds to ruin the Ma family's reputation." ”

Mrs. Gu nodded: "What Sister-in-law Yang said is extreme, that Aunt Fu's mother and daughter love to play this kind of trick the most, I don't know how many grievances I have suffered in front of them, I just don't know how the Ma family wants to deal with them, I think it is not easy to beat the mother and daughter in terms of eloquence, and I can't say that the Ma family will suffer a big loss today." ”

Sister-in-law Yang said, "I'm afraid not." ”

This sentence just landed, but seeing Ma Shi sneering, the whip was raised high, and a whip whipped Aunt Fu away, and another whip knocked Gu Erniang aside: "What do you mean to meet me, did I ask you to meet me?" Your mother and daughter clearly want to give me a horse, hmph, I won't argue with you, everyone can think whatever they like, anyway, my Ma clan has no reputation at all, I, I'll beat you up first. ”

Without seeing a word, Ma Shi whipped over a few more times, Aunt Fu and Gu Erniang couldn't hide if they wanted to, they were very beaten a few times, and they screamed miserably.

Mrs. Gu watched from the sidelines, only feeling that she was extremely relieved, and her heart said that this Ma family was a hot-tempered person, and she didn't care about her reputation, at this moment, even if Aunt Fu said flowers with her mouth, it would not be useful in front of Ma's family.
