Aunt Jiang was unconvinced: "How can it not be compared, the daughter of the Ma family will weave brocade." ā€

Father Jiang said: "Is the tea and rice of the daughter of the Ma family more dumb than dumb?" ā€

Aunt Jiang thought for a while and said, "The daughter of the Cao family has good tea and rice, and she can also weave brocade." ā€

Father Jiang glared and said, "I have eaten tea and dinner for the daughters of the Cao family, and it is far worse than being dumb." What about being able to weave brocade? Look at what she looks like, is she compatible with our Minghui? ā€

Aunt Jiang was speechless.

This Cao family's daughters are all fine, but they are a little different.

Therefore, after Jiang Minghui met him, he was not happy.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Father Jiang folded his hands again and said, "The daughter of the Ma family knows how to weave brocade, and her cooking skills are ordinary; The daughters of the Wang family can speak well, and these two crafts are ordinary; The daughter of the Cao family is not bad, but she looks a little worse, why don't you find a perfect one to come to me to see? Also, which of these families can compare to the Guo family's rich background and can marry 20 acres of land? It's not that I'm greedy for money, people are all good, of course I have to choose a good one. Compared with each other, it is better to be dumb: a person is good-looking, capable, gentle, decent, filial, and does not like to gossip and cause trouble, such a daughter-in-law is a person who lives a life. If you are not satisfied, you have to pick and choose. If it's really better, people can take a fancy to our Minghui? Our family is not a rich and powerful rich family, and Minghui is not a talented man. ā€

Aunt Jiang is really speechless.

However, she just didn't feel good in her heart.

didn't say it on his face, but muttered in his heart: Don't you just want her to shout, this is also a pick?

Jiang Minghui finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his father had persuaded his mother.

He threw it away, looked at the receding autumn scenery outside, and began to think dumbly.

※

Besides, the Guo family did it, and when they saw that the Jiang family's boat was far away, they turned around and entered the house.

When his relatives were gone, his family gathered around the main house and gossiped.

There was only one guest on the seat, Aunt Cai, who was deliberately retained by the Wu family.

Wu said to Guo Shouye: "Minghui, this baby is really good!" His father and brother are fine. It's just that Mrs. Jiang is difficult, not like a kind person. It was the youngest son who was married to Qingdu, and let her live in the town with Minghui in the future, and she couldn't live in the old house, otherwise she would definitely be angry with the old woman. ā€

Ruan Shi also nodded and said, "Aunt Jiang is quite picky. ā€

Guo Shouye asked what was going on.

Nguyen then told the previous scene by the water.

Guo Shouye pondered for a while and asked Aunt Cai: "Mother-in-law, how is this Jiang mother-in-law?" ā€

Wu also looked at her, and deliberately left her for this.

Cai said: "Mrs. Jiang's heart is not bad, but she is stricter. ā€

As he spoke, he casually glanced at Wu, and thought, if you want to be strict, your in-laws and her are half a catty to eight taels, and no one can say anything. That's not a problem, is it? If this is also a problem, wouldn't it be wrong for her to marry her daughter to the Guo family!

Guo Daquan said: "No matter how strict she is, our little sister's good temperament, if she can't tolerate it, it's really unreasonable." Mother, let's not worry about this. I think it's like my mother said, in the future, let Qingdu and Minghui live in the town and not live with them. Let's marry twenty acres of dumb land, which is enough for them to live, what are you afraid of! ā€

Guo Shouye nodded and said, "That's it." Thinking about it, he said: "My in-laws are honest people, and they will not treat them badly." If they are not good, my Guo family is not vegetarian. ā€

Guo Daquan smiled: "That's." I have three brothers, and I can still make people bully my little sister! ā€

Guo Dayou and the others also nodded.

Ruan Shi mentioned yƬ again: "Dad, mother, little sister has decided on the matter, and what should be prepared must be prepared." Taking advantage of the leisure time in winter, let Qiao'er and her father make the same furniture for the wedding. After saving for two years, I can almost save it all. We can also save a sum of money by doing it ourselves. Prepare early, don't rush, and be able to do it more carefully. If you wait until the date of marriage is set, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up. Hurriedly invite the craftsman to enter the door, spend more money and don't say, the work is not fine, but it is not good. ā€

Seeing that she was thoughtful, Wu was very satisfied, and said, "The second daughter-in-law has thought about it thoroughly. ā€

Cai Shi was not convinced, and he had no good ideas to contribute, so he could only watch dryly.

Guo Shouye said to Guo Dayou: "Dayou, when the farm is free, you will slowly make a dowry for your sister." ā€

Guo Dayou said: "Hey." Wait for the radish and wheat to be planted. ā€

Guo Shouye said again: "Daquan, you go to the town and buy some good wood." ā€

Guo Daquan also agreed.

The family discussed for a while before they made up their minds and did not mention it.

※

After the dumb marriage, there is no hope for the future.

Her eyes were bright and her heart was bright, and she also saw that Aunt Jiang was not easy to talk to, and she had to work hard for her future life. The first is to work hard to strengthen the Guo family, and the second is to work hard to strengthen the Jiang family, otherwise, how can the plan of living outside with Jiang Minghui be realized!

After thinking about it, she devoted herself to her own creation again.

Autumn went to winter, and a few months passed in the blink of an eye, and it was November.

During this period, there are two important things that need to be detailed.

First, although Qingdu did not make a breakthrough in brocade, he and his second brother made a stirring machine for stripping cotton seeds and a three-spindle pedal spinning wheel. This is all the invention of Huang Daopo, the dumb and dumb fusion of the two generations of learning, compared to the structure, and Guo Dayou pondered and did it, and did not take much effort.

The structure of the agitator is very simple, but it saves the need to peel the cotton seeds by hand, not to mention the speed.

The three-spindle pedal spinning wheel can spin three strands of cotton thread at the same time, and the efficiency is not trivial.

After Guo Dayou made it, he immediately called Guo Shouye, Wu Shi, Guo Daquan and Guo Dagui to come and see.

They were all stunned, and so far they were completely sure of the adventure of seeing the gods dumbly.

When asked what to do next, Qingmu only said three words: "Don't say it yet." ā€

She wanted to wait for a good time and then benefit the Guo family.

She didn't have a detailed plan for how to do it.

Guo Shouye and the others did not ask, they still played freely with the dumb words.

Guo Daquan felt that Xiaomei must have a big plan, and she had to plan and then act; Guo Dayou felt that Xiaomei still had new creations, and she had to wait for all of them to come out before she could do it in one fell swoop; Guo Dagui didn't think about anything else, and felt that the things that made money should of course be kept secret; Guo Shouye considered it most comprehensively, and felt that the girl wanted to find out the outside market and find a suitable time to make these public.

This time, the father and son did not go their separate ways, but carefully discussed together.

The result of the discussion was: first hide it from Cai and others, and these things cannot be used.

It's not that they don't trust, but that people know a lot, and it's hard to think about it.

His brothers solemnly agreed.

The second thing is: Jiang Minghui comes to Guo's house every few days. On this day, Qingmu handed him a well-designed bamboo silk weaving drawing, as well as some small crochet patterns. He was an expert, and when he saw this picture, it was like opening a door and breaking into a new world. Since then, his life has taken a huge turn.

Qinglu said to him: "You should go to the big town, bamboo silk products should be sold at a high price." ā€

It's not that she's pretending to be profound, it's that she can only say this.

After all, she had only opened a bookstore in her previous life.

Jiang Minghui understood the mystery: such a fine and elegant thing naturally had to be sold to literati and elegant guests, as well as wealthy nobles, and there was nothing to do in Wuyou Town.

He secretly planned: After waiting for a full order, he will go to Xiazhao County to expand in the spring of the next year at the latest, and strive to win a place in the prosperous land of Jinshang like clouds!

Although he is an expert, his artistic literacy is not enough.

Therefore, it is still necessary to consult the dumb when it comes to design.

After going back and forth and discussing with each other, the two became more and more affectionate.

Although the mental age of the dumb is longer than Jiang Minghui, he has little experience in his previous life and has a simple personality; Jiang Minghui is affectionate, and he loves her very much, and he takes care of her in every way, and all kinds of tenderness and thoughtfulness are not counted, so the two are in love, which makes Qingdu feel more than her boyfriend in her previous life.

On the seventh night of November, the first snow fell in the water town since the beginning of winter.

In the early morning of the second day, the rooster crowed all over the place, and he got up dumb.

She changed into loose clothes and trousers and danced around the room.

She didn't dance vigorously, but danced, the kind that stretched her body very well.

This is a habit she developed in her previous life, she has a narrow life circle, few activities, and nowhere to go for exercise, so she dances indoors in the morning and evening to exercise, shape her body, and cultivate her body, otherwise she is easy to get sick.

After half an hour of dancing, she stopped and the window became bright.

She changed into a tight-fitting jacket and a cotton skirt, and covered it with a light red cardigan, then combed her hair, scooped some cold water in a bucket and washed her face, and when she was done, she pushed open the window.

Outside, the snow had stopped, and it was white and blind.

The fields and villages are covered with snow, and wherever there is water, they are green.

Between heaven and earth, it seems that only black and white are left!

She withdrew her gaze and landed in front of the door.

The same silence, the same coldness.

At this time, a figure wearing a thick cotton hat and a big cotton jacket broke into view, he carried a broom to the water's edge, jumped on the Guo family's canopy boat, and used the broom to clean the snow on the boat.

That's her father, Guo Shouye.

She looked at the hunched figure, and suddenly remembered a poem:

Thousands of mountains and birds fly away,

Thousands of people are gone.

Lonely Boat Lady,

Fishing alone in the cold river and snow.

She sat down in front of the piano desk and began to play.

If it is cold today, she is afraid of the cold at night and does not play the piano much. She grew up in the north in her previous life, and spent the winter in an environment with heating and hot water, and now she can't bear the severe cold, the brocade is okay, but Yaxing, who plays the piano, is "frozen".

Therefore, the time for her to play the piano was changed to every morning, after practicing.

On the bed, Guo Qiao, who was awakened by the sound of the piano, opened his dark eyes and listened quietly.

In this silent world of ice and snow, the sound of the piano seems to travel very far and is particularly clear to hear.

On the Jingjiang River, Fang's boat is going against the trend.

Fang Chu sat on the couch in the cabin and tasted tea, with two plates of delicate snacks on the low table in front of him.

Suddenly, he paused his hand to hold the tea and shouted, "Chang'er, turn around!" ā€

Then put down the teacup, got up to the window, and pushed the window open.

The biting chill poured into the cabin with the sound of the piano, and he shivered.

So he turned around and took off the large woolly coat that hung on the hanger next to the couch.

Outside, Chang'er hurriedly informed the helmsman to turn the boat towards the Guo family's waterway.

Fang Chu stood in front of the window and muttered, "Why don't you play at night, play in the morning?" ā€

The last time he passed by here at night, he waited for a long time and didn't hear the sound of the piano, and thought something was wrong, but who knew that he heard it this morning.

Chang'er was coming in to reply, and when she heard the words, she interjected: "This old man is afraid of the cold. ā€

Fang Chu looked at him and said, "How do you know it's an old man?" ā€

Chang'er said with confidence: "If you play so well, you must be so old." ā€

Fang Chu wanted to say, "What do you mean, young master, I'm young, so I can't play well?" I was afraid of delaying listening to the piano, so I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and looked out the window and listened quietly.
