Chapter 11: The Fang Family
It's been added, and it will be added again in the future, and friends who are waiting and watching can jump into the pit. Ask for recommendations, collections, etc......

It wasn't until twilight fell that Cai came back with a slumped head.
She is a person who can't hide her thoughts, and she puts everything on her face.
Therefore, as soon as everyone saw her face, they knew that the result was not good.
At the moment, he couldn't help asking, and when he had dinner, he went upstairs dumbly, and the three little ones also fell asleep, and the father, son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gathered in the upper room again and asked Cai's details together.
Cai Shi didn't do this, he felt embarrassed, and scolded angrily: "I don't know which one has a rotten tongue to talk nonsense!" said that Zhang Futian hooked up with Li Hongjube because he was dissatisfied with our little sister, and thought that she had mute disease when she was a child, and she was not good at speaking. My mother showed a little meaning, and the aunt of the Jiang family asked if she could speak. My mother said that there was no thing, but it was good, it was all Zhang Futian and Li Hongjube who were shameless...... The aunt of the Jiang family said that her family Minghui had a strange temper, and she looked at many daughters, none of whom took a fancy to her, she didn't dare to be blind, and she had to ask her son what she meant. ”
Everyone understood that this was the bad influence of rumors.
Therefore, whether it is the official family or the common people, the rich or the poor, everyone pays attention to a reputation and reputation. Things like retiring from relatives have the most impact on the reputation of the girl's family, and Yan zhòng has not been cared about since then. The Guo family retreated, the Zhang family and the Li family were discredited, and the Guo family itself did not escape the catastrophe, which can be described as a lose-lose situation!
The room was quiet, and the chirping of autumn insects outside was clearly audible.
When Guo Shouye and Wu were frowning and thinking, Cai suddenly said: "Dad, mother, don't be too anxious. If you really get to that point, let kohlrabi marry dumb. My mother likes to be dumb......"
Guo Daquan hurriedly raised his foot and kicked his daughter-in-law, but it was too late.
Wu and Guo Shouye glared at Cai together, their eyes almost murderous.
Guo Dayou and Guo Dagui also looked at their sister-in-law angrily, but Ruan's eyes did not move.
Kohlrabi is Cai's younger brother, and he was born with a bad mud that can't support the wall, so he has never met his daughter-in-law. Cai's is thinking that if Qingmu can't get married, his younger brother can pick up a bargain, which is better than being an old girl, and she also helped her in-laws solve their troubles, but who knew that she was angry.
Seeing that his family's face was not good, Guo Daquan was also annoyed, thinking that with his brother-in-law's virtue, his daughter-in-law really dared to think about it, no wonder his father and mother were unhappy. Yin shouted at Cai: "What that step! Which step do you say? Can our little sister still get married? Joke! You don't talk to no one when you're dumb! ”
Men rarely get angry, Cai was startled, looked at his in-laws again, and bowed his head in annoyance.
Wu glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law, but for some reason he didn't attack her.
"Boss, Ming'er, you and your daughter-in-law accompany me to the town. The brocade and cloth woven at home should also be sold. She instructed Guo Daquan, and then said very casually, "By the way, I will also take Qingmu to go shopping." ”
Guo Daquan was stunned when he heard this, paused and hurriedly agreed.
Guo Shouye also looked at Wu in surprise, not understanding why she suddenly wanted to go to the town when she was so busy. Suddenly, she asked Cai's again, "When the farm is busy, the Jiang family's shop is not closed?" My heart moved, and I understood.
Cai smiled: "Don't close the door." Jiang Minghui is in the shop all year round. ”
Wu Shi let out an "oh", turned his head to Guo Shouye and said: "The affairs in the field can't be delayed, so I will pay some wages and ask Lao Yang and Lao Zhu to bring people to help clean up." Tomorrow morning, my second daughter-in-law and I got up early to make some cakes and bring them with us, and then packed some dates and water chestnuts, and went to the town to sell them and make up for them. ”
Guo Shouye nodded and said, "Tell the third child to go too." Ask what the price of cotton is. ”
At this point, everyone understood what Wu meant, and they tacitly understood each other.
Without further ado, the next day, the chickens crowed all over the place, and the Guo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got up and went into the kitchen to be busy; The father and son of the Guo family also carried the local products on the ship.
Qing Du was finally awakened, and Wu also came upstairs to call her.
When she heard that she was going to town, she was very happy, and she had a lot of things to buy.
There is nothing here, not to mention the TV network, no books, no piano, no pen and paper to even draw a picture or write a few words, she can hardly endure the loneliness and quietness of a person, but also finds it difficult to suffer.
At that moment, she took out all her private money, more than one or two, and went downstairs.
When he set off, Guo Qinsan rushed to the water's edge when he heard the sound, and he had to follow him alive or dead.
Guo Shouye drank Guo Qin and Guo Jian in one voice, but asked Guo Qiao to follow.
This arrangement has two intentions: first, the eldest couple is gone, and the second husband and wife stay at home to do farm work, and take his daughter to go shopping to show fairness; The second is that Guo Qiao accompanied the dumb to talk along the way, and he was more dumb and comfortable, so that the blind date would not show any traces.
The sculls swing away, and the canopy boat swims into the depths of the lotus leaves.
Dumb Guo Qiao sat quietly in the front cabin, and the aunt and nephew looked out as if they couldn't see enough. Ahead, Guo Daquan and Guo Dagui took turns shaking the pulp, pushing and pulling leisurely; In the cabin behind him, Cai's "croaking and croaking" Gaomen spoke to Wu in a loud voice, what "whose family owns this field", and what "whose house is newly built", etc., and the dumb always didn't listen to the truth.
When she arrived in Wuyou Town, she saw the gray walls and green tiles on both sides, and the arch bridge sitting across the water in front of her, all showing six words: small bridge, flowing water, and people, and she was crazy.
The boat travels in the water, and the person swims in the painting.
In her previous life, she couldn't go to school, but her parents not only taught her as much as possible, but also led her to run all over the north and south of the river, inside and outside the Great Wall, and on the plateau and seaside, so that she could learn about the customs and history of various places. Travel expenses are her family's biggest expense. All the income of her parents, plus her income of more than 100,000 yuan a year from opening a bookstore, is basically used for tourism. Most of them are self-guided tours, which are very economical. As long as you can squeeze out a little space, a family of three will travel.
The places she has been to are indispensable to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
This place in front of me is like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Wuzhen, Xitang, Zhouzhuang......
But it is more quaint and primitive than those places.
The canopy boat approached the ferry port of Wuyou Town, and the noisy voices of people came to the face.
Qing Du took a deep breath of the rich breath of the water town and looked around.
The ferry port was built under a dike, and countless large and small ships were moored side by side in the water along the shore, and the black pressure covered the water; All sorts of people got on or off the boat and went to town, and the stream continued.
The Guo brothers found a vacancy and inserted the boat into it to hang the cable.
"Do you look at the ship or do I look at the boat?" Guo Daquan asked Guo Dagui.
"Yes, of course...... Big brother looks at the boat. Guo Dagui smiled, "Big brother, I also want to go to the town." Stay here, and I'll bring you some fried fruit to eat. ”
Guo Daquan shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, good!" What a good errand. Don't forget, you still have to sell things. If you are afraid of embarrassment and can't open your mouth, let me go. ”
Guo Dagui hurriedly said: "I am very thick-skinned, and I am not afraid of embarrassment. I sell! ”
After speaking, he leaned over and picked up a bamboo basket and got off the boat.
Cai and Wu also each pulled a basket and beckoned Qing Mu to get off the boat.
At that moment, several people entered the bazaar.
The dumb led Guo Qiao and wandered in the market, and his heart was filled with a familiar feeling: bluestone floor, narrow streets...... If it is a market near the water, the eaves of the porch are covered to stretch out for a long time, and there are stalls under the porch, which will not be affected to do business regardless of rain or shine.
Her heart relaxed, as if she had come to travel.
With business in mind, Wu didn't want to delay, and went straight to the back street.
Say it's a backstreet, like a village.
Compared with the bazaar, there are only fewer shops, but there are many small vendors.
Around the corner, they came to the easternmost part of Wuyou Town.
There are several large courtyards here, and the front door is wide, and it looks like a rich family.
When he came to the door, Wu greeted a woman with a smile, "Mother Zhang, do you remember me?" Last year you said you wanted dates......"
Wu's speech is lively, and he is an old customer of business, and soon there is a circle of people around him.
At the moment, Guo Dagui loaded the goods, Cai's weighed the scales, and Wu's settled the accounts and collected the money, and he was busy.
Seeing this, Qing Du pulled Guo Dagui's sleeve.
Guo Dagui turned around, saw his sister signaling forward, and hurriedly asked, "Little sister, are you going over there?" There you go. Don't run far. Something called me. ”
Qing nodded dumbly, and then led Guo Qiao forward.
Wu hurriedly said to him: "You go with your sister." I and your sister-in-law take care of this. ”
Guo Dagui couldn't wait, withdrew from the crowd, and chased after Qingdu.
There is an old mansion in front of it, and the owner's surname is Fang.
The Fang family is a famous brocade family, and their ancestral home is in Linhu Prefecture. Decades ago, the brocade industry in the land of the two lakes developed rapidly, and the imperial court set up a brocade bureau yamen in Xiazhao County, which is at the junction of Huzhou and Linhu Prefecture, and has jurisdiction over the production and trading of brocade between the two places, and the annual brocade conference is also held in Xiazhao County.
It was at that time that the Fang family moved the second room to Xiazhao County to expand.
Due to the convenient water and land transportation in Wuyou Town, the second room built a house here for the later picture.
However, the subsequent development was unexpected, and the Fang family's house was weak, and the second house gradually supported the family business.
A few years ago, they moved to the capital city of Huzhou, which was conveniently shelved and abandoned.
At this time, inside the high walls of the Fang family, the eldest young master Fang Chuzheng and his friend Han Xiyi hurriedly walked to the backyard dock, but were stopped by the little maid Yuan'er.
He kept at his feet and asked, "What's the matter, tell me quickly!" ”
Yuan'er hurriedly said: "According to the young master's instructions, the furnishings in the house have been changed." Those old ......"
Fang Chu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said, "Ask this too!" Or give it away or throw it away. If you are reluctant, you can sell a few dollars of silver and drink wine. ”
Yuan'er said: "No, young master......"
Fang Chu stopped and looked at the little guy's heavy face.
Seeing Yuan'er's panic, Han Xiyi couldn't help but laugh.
Yuan'er also felt that she had angered the young master, so she hurriedly made a long story short: "It's the guqin!" The guqin that the young master used since he was a child! If it is broken, the small one doesn't dare to throw it casually, so I asked the young master: Is it to find someone to send it to repair it and put it aside, or throw it away? ”
Han Xiyi smiled: "I thought it was a stupid person, but it turned out to be a person with a heart." ”
Fang Chu also smiled and said to Yuan'er: "It's good that you are so careful. But I just bought a new one, and the Qinyue Mountain was broken, and even if it was repaired, I wouldn't use it again, but don't bother to make an ornament for thought. You take it ......"
He groaned for a moment and said, "Don't throw it away, it's too bad for the scenery." Dispose of it with the furniture. Or if someone wants it, it can be regarded as making the best use of it, and live up to it and follow me. ”
Yuan'er hurriedly said, "Yes, young master." ”
Fang Chu asked again, "Is there anything else?" ”
Yuan'er smiled: "No, young master." The little one is arranged, and he will wait for the young master and Miss Xie to come back. ”
Han Xiyi smiled: "Good boy, you are even more looking forward to Miss Xie coming than your young master." ”
Yuan'er smiled and said, "Miss Xie will be a young lady in the future, of course the little one is looking forward to it." ”
Fang Chu waved his hand and said, "Don't pick up nice words." Go ahead. ”
After speaking, he left with Han Xiyi without looking back.
Here, Yuan'er couldn't see the young master's back, so he turned his head.
The young master is gone, and he will be the master of this courtyard.
At that moment, the commander moved the old household utensils to the door, and waited for the donkey cart of the thrift store to pull it away, and the guqin was also among them.
At this time, Qing Mu came, and saw the guqin at a glance.
She hurriedly stepped forward, and saw that there were furniture all over the floor, and they were all stacked and put on the shelf, so she knew that the family was dealing with old furniture.
