Chapter 116: Separation
"What about the girl?"
Li Luan'er really doesn't care about the Gu family's family background, what she cares about is how the girl is.
Mrs. Gu smiled: "I saw that girl a few years ago, she looks very good-looking, better than her sister-in-law, and she has a cool temperament, and she does needlework well." ”
"How could such a good lady want to kiss our family?" Li Luan'er still didn't understand.
Mrs. Gu sighed when she heard Fang: "My cousin is just a petty official of the Qingshui Yamen, and he doesn't do anything on weekdays, plus his family is not good, what kind of good family can he marry, besides, that girl is still a concubine, although some people don't care about the concubine, but in the end, the world values the concubine, his family is unwilling to let his daughter marry into a poor family to suffer, and the good family will not want it, and it will be dragged until now." ”
Mrs. Jin also sighed: "It's true that you said this, the world already attaches importance to concubines, and it is really difficult for a concubine to find a good family." ”
"Exactly." Mrs. Gu nodded: "Because of this, my cousin's concubine is also very anxious, no, everyone is dragged to me." ”
"Then Mrs. Lao will help you ask." Li Luan'er breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the girl was good, but she didn't choose a good background due to bad luck, and she also had a score in her heart: "If the girl is happy, our two families have married Qin and Jin, and it is also the fate of the two families." ”
This table was eaten until the afternoon, and after eating, Mrs. Gu drank tea for a while before leaving with Gu Xin's farewell.
Mrs. Gu walked on the front foot, and Mrs. Jin called someone to inquire about the situation of the Gu family on the back foot.
Mrs. Jin has been practicing medicine for many years, and she is more familiar with the distribution of forces and life experience in various places than anyone else, so she called Ma Mao and brought some silver money to the Chenghuang Temple in the south of the capital, but she found the head of the capital called Huazi, and bought the most detailed information of the Gu family from there.
The next day, while Mrs. Jin and Li Luan'er were anxiously waiting, news finally came.
On this day, Ma Mao brought a fairly clean little Huazi into the gate of Li's house, but this little Huazi did not enter the second gate, and Mrs. Jin and Li Luan'er saw him directly in the first courtyard.
When I saw Mrs. Jin and Li Luan'er, I smiled and said goodbye: "I have given Mrs. and Mrs. a gift, and I wish Mrs. and Mrs. filial piety, many blessings and longevity, I wish Mrs. and Mrs. a beautiful woman, and find a good husband." ”
"Come on, don't talk about these things or not, you better tell us about the Gu family first." Li Luan'er pursed her lips and smiled.
"That's all for the little one." Xiao Huazi got up with a smile, Ma Fang quickly moved a stool for him to sit down, and after he sat down, he got a plate of snacks and brought it to him to eat.
Xiao Huazi is not polite, while eating snacks and smiled: "Speaking of which this Gu family is not famous, it sounds quite troublesome, the small ones contacted a number of peers, and then got the news, it turned out that the name of the Gu family that Mrs. inquired about was the right temple of Honglu Temple, there was only a small concubine in the family, and another son and two daughters, one son was named Ying, and the second daughter was the eldest daughter, known as Gu Da Niangzi, nicknamed Wan'er, the concubine was young, known as Gu Er Niangzi, nicknamed Shou'er, this concubine was kind, and she was a diligent person, although she was a concubine, Acting a little cowardly, she has never quarreled with her aunt and sister-in-law, but this concubine is a stakeholder figure, not only the director of the family at a young age, this knitting kitchen art can be picked up with anything, and the act is the most mellow, which is very praised by the neighbors. ”
After saying all the news in one breath, Xiao Hanako quickly drank a sip of water and swallowed the dim sum in a big gulp: "Madame's dim sum is so delicious." ”
"Ma Fang." Li Luan'er beckoned: "You go pack a few bags of snacks and take them away with this little brother." ”
Ma Fang went out with a smile, and after a while, he carried several oil paper bags in his hand, and Xiao Huazi swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva after seeing it.
Li Luan'er waited for the little lady to drink the water before asking, "So, the second lady Gu is better at acting than the eldest lady?" It's just that how do these two people look? ”
Xiao Huazi patted her thigh and raised her thumb: "Speaking of appearance, Gu Erniang's appearance is as beautiful as a flower, and the small one ponders, although it is not as good as the posture of the eldest lady, it can be imagined that she is also a very iconic character." ”
Speaking of this, he smiled and praised Li Luan'er again: "In this world, I can compare to the big lady's fear, the little one has lived for so many years, and I have never seen a character more marked than the big lady. ”
In a word, the funny Li Luan'er and Mrs. Jin all laughed non-stop.
Mrs. Jin stretched out her hand and pointed at the little Hanako: "Monkey, monkey, look at your spirit, I don't know how long this mouth is, how clever it is." ”
"I'm afraid that just for my two packs of snacks, he will have to compliment him." Li Luan'er smiled and said: "Cheng, just say this to you, when you stay for a while, I will reward you with a few dollars." ”
"Thank you to the little one." Xiao Huazi hurriedly stood up and saluted, and after sitting down, he said: "It's just that Gu Cheng is not very good at acting, and the family is really poor, Gu Erniang is good, I'm afraid I won't be able to find any good people, I heard that Gu Erniang's aunt is worrying for her." ”
"What about Mrs. Gu?" Mrs. Jin felt that the Gu family's affairs were very strange, and couldn't help but ask: "Can her family affairs be decided?" ”
"It's settled." Xiao called Huazi and nodded hurriedly: "Mrs. Gu has good luck, when Gu Cheng was admitted to the exam, he made a family with his classmates as a child and daughter-in-law, and ordered a doll for Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu's husband's surname is Xu, Mr. Xu is more talented than Gu Cheng, and he is admitted to the Jinshi and entered the Hanlin Academy, and now he is an official in Dali Temple, and the official worships Dali Temple, although this Xu family is also from a poor background, and there is no family background, but the old man Xu's official position is there, and he is a person with luck and a future, and people are naturally much better than the Gu family, and, The eldest man of the Xu family is also a good reader, and he was selected for talent at a young age, and he also has a bright future. ”
Li Luan'er was also curious when she heard it: "Then the Xu family didn't dislike the Gu family. ”
Xiao Huazi's eyes blinked widely, and he glanced at Li Luan'er: "No, Old Man Xu is an old-fashioned and upright person, and if he said that he was engaged in the early years, he would say that he was dead, no matter what happened to the Gu family, their family would marry Aunt Gu." ”
"This family has a conscience." Li Luan'er praised: "How old is Aunt Gu, but she is about to get married?" ”
"Hmm." Xiao called Huazi nodded: "Aunt Gu will be sixteen after the New Year, and the Gu Xu family has also made a family appointment, and I heard that they will get married in the autumn." ”
Mrs. Jin asked a few more questions, and Xiao Huazi answered them one by one, which was very detailed and vivid, so that Li Luan'er and Mrs. Jin also learned a lot about the Gu family.
After asking for clarity, Li Luan'er asked Ma Fang to take the money to reward Xiao Huazi, and brought him some food to send him out.
As soon as Xiao called Huazi to leave, Li Luan'er got up and helped Mrs. Jin to walk towards the inner courtyard and said: "Madam, I always think that this Gu family is very strange, it stands to reason that the eldest lady Gu is a concubine, and the second lady is a concubine...... It seems that there is some momentum of suppressing the heirs, I am afraid that it is the family style of the Gu family......"
"As long as she's good, it's done." Mrs. Jin smiled and patted Li Luan'er's hand: "What we are talking about is such a strong person, so that she can support the family business, no matter how she takes care of the family, anyway, when she enters our door, she has to plan for our family." ”
"That's just as well." Li Luan'er laughed: "I think about it too much." ”
Mrs. Jin smiled: "You are also for your brother." Then, her brows furrowed again: "I just don't know if Mrs. Gu can say that this family business can be done." ”
"Just wait." Li Luan'er sighed.
When the two of them walked into the backyard, Li Luan'er suddenly remembered something: "Madam, I casually mentioned it when chatting that day, and then I knew that Gu Xin's betrothed family was actually the Jun family. ”
"Jun's family." As soon as she heard the word Jun, Mrs. Jin sneered again and again: "Such hypocrites, I'm afraid that Gu Xin will suffer, just Jun Mowei's character, as well as Cui's snobbery, how can they obediently marry the Gu family, don't worry, there will be a good show later." ”
"That's what I thought too." Li Luan'er gritted her teeth: "I'm afraid that it will affect my brother's family affairs." ”
Mrs. Jin didn't say anything more, and Li Luan'er didn't mention it.
Yan Mansion
General Yan sat in the middle of the main hall, and his three sons with their respective families and children lined up on both sides.
Old General Yan looked at his sons and his grandchildren, his wrinkled face had a lot of vicissitudes, and his eyes showed a little unbearable, but when he saw Yan Chengyue sitting in a wheelchair on the side, Old General Yan was ruthless again: "I have something to say about calling you over today." ”
The eldest name of the Yan family is Yan Baojia, and his wife Lin is standing next to him, as soon as the two of them heard General Yan's words, they knew that there must be something important, and hurriedly smiled: "If your father has anything, just tell me, and my son will just listen." ”
Yan's second name is Weiguo, his wife Zhang's, the two of them looked at each other and didn't speak, the third oldest Anguo, seeing that the second child didn't speak, and seeing what his wife Zhou was going to say, he quickly tugged Zhou's sleeve to stop it.
The old man saw all this in his eyes and couldn't help sighing.
The eldest couple in this family is the most clever, but they are also the most greedy and lacking in ability.
It's just that the second and the second are too honest, and they are not the material of the head of the family, and the third child is even more because he has no boy, and he wants the old family's promise to be the heir, and he only listens to the boss in everything, and he does not dare to have any room for refutation.
These old generals are very clear in their hearts, he also knows that there is no undefeated family business in this world, and he also understands that his children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, it stands to reason that now that he is old, he should let go of these troubles, but for the sake of his eldest grandson Chengyue, he has to think more.
"Your mother has been gone all these years, since she went, I can't lift my spirits, I can only raise at home, I said that I gathered you in front of me, look at you happy, I have everything enough, but then I thought about it, for me such an old immortal, let you all come together in this house, in the end it is still very inconvenient."
As soon as the old general said this, the three of them understood, and they dared to love this to split up. RS
