Dagujia Village, the home of the ancient hoe. For today is a happy event, and the courtyard is full of people. The old woman of the ancient hoe, He Shi, was grinning, and talked to a few well-dressed women with a smug face, "Hey, you don't know, the nobles in this capital are different. Sue you, my niece and daughter-in-law, cough, wrong, should be called Madame, hehe...... Madame, Mrs. Gu, the clothes she wears are soft to the touch, and they are called slippery, which are better than the clothes worn by the wife of the county assistant. ”

The women praised the He family for their blessings and were able to be relatives of the nobles.

He deliberately touched the golden step on his head, with a proud face.

The red gold golden step was worn on the head, and it had already dazzled the eyes of the women in the village who loved beauty. Now that He is doing this, the women naturally understand what she means, and they boasted again, and their tones were full of envy.

He Shi was naturally very comfortable in his heart, "This is a good thing, pure gold, we can't find a second one in the entire Kangxi Town." Then he lowered his voice mysteriously, "It was given by Mrs. Gu casually, saying that this style is the most fashionable in the capital." Then laughed out loud, "After living a lifetime, being able to wear fashionable jewelry in the capital is really the creation of my wife and my several lifetimes." Mrs. Gu will wear Miss Gu to drink my grandson's wedding wine today, and then you will know the style of this rich and noble man. ”

Gu Wu, who was robbed of Jin Busha, couldn't listen to it, and secretly gritted his teeth, Huo Di turned around, entered the house, and refused to come out.

Gu Erfeng saw it and followed in, "Mother, today is a big day for my brother to marry, don't be angry with my grandmother, it's a good thing for my eldest brother." ”

Gu Wu's face was still stiff, "It's easy for you to say, it's something that Mrs. gave to your mother, your grandmother said to grab it, how can you look like an elder, hum!" It is made of gold, and how much silver is it worth? Can my mother swallow this breath? ”

Gu Erfeng had a headache, "Mother, no matter what, anyway, you can't compete with milk today." Do you bear with me, if you have something to say tomorrow? ”

His own son married a relative, and he couldn't spoil his family's good deeds if he was angry, Gu Wu understood, and quickly adjusted his good feelings and drove his second son out to work.

Soon, the team that had come to the town early to greet the relatives returned. Gu Wu came out of the house with a happy face, and when he saw He, he glanced at him with a smile, then turned his head and walked to another place.

Seeing that his fourth daughter-in-law Wu was like this, He frowned unhappily, but he was quickly dragged to speak, and he didn't care about teaching Wu a lesson.

The bride welcomed the door, but did not see the shadow of the carriage of the ancient mansion, Gu Wu felt strange, standing outside the courtyard and looking in the direction of the village entrance from time to time. The He clan was also in a hurry, standing in the courtyard and shouting, asking the Gu Wu clan to wait at the entrance of the village. Gu Wu is now eager to slap He twice, how can he pay attention to He, turn around and can't hear.

He wanted to scold, but the relatives and neighbors in the courtyard were there, so he endured it.

At this moment, a carriage rushed over, and Gu Wu recognized the coachman and said happily: "Oh, third sister-in-law, you have finally arrived." "Erfeng, Sanniu, come out quickly, your third aunt is here."

When the carriage stopped, two girls got out of the carriage first, then put down the stool and helped a woman in her thirties in a dark red silk dress, and then a little girl in a pink silk dress in eight or nine in the back.

Gu Wu welcomed his third sister-in-law and niece into the courtyard with a proud face, and then brought them to his house, He wanted to follow up, Gu Wu took the third family as an excuse to find He, and opened He's branch.

The woman sat down with her daughter and whispered, "Aren't there any more distinguished guests today?" Why don't you see the carriages and horses of your guests? She came for the "distinguished guest", otherwise why would she run from Kangde Town to the countryside of Kangxi Town to eat and drink.

Gu Wu laughed out loud, "Third sister-in-law, don't worry. Mrs. Gu personally said that she would bring the young lady to the table today. Let me tell you, sister-in-law, Miss Gu is so good-looking, those eyes are beautiful, there is no girl in the whole Kangxi Town who can beat Miss Gu. ”

The woman pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing. But looking at her face, I knew that she was looking forward to it. If it was an ordinary girl, she wouldn't be able to look down on her, and her talented son wouldn't be able to look down on her.

Gu Wu leaned forward and whispered, "When Mrs. Gu opened the jewelry box, I took a look, and my eyes were dazzled. Gold bracelets, gold steps, golden hairpins, silver bracelets, silver hairpins, stone bracelets, cough, wrong, Mrs. Gu said it was jade, white and green. Earrings, earrings, and something called a headband, a whole big box...... That's the way, all of them are beautiful, and they don't have any rich and noble families in our town......"

At this time, tables and chairs were set up in the house and courtyard, and He stood in the courtyard and scolded Huai, who likes to hide in the house and be lazy if he doesn't work.

Gu Wu's anger came up again, pushed open the door of the house and said loudly with a smile: "Mother, you have also worn the golden step shake that Mrs. Gu gave to her daughter-in-law, you should return it to your daughter-in-law!" When Mrs. Gu gave her daughter-in-law, she could say that this was not for her daughter-in-law, but a newcomer gift for Dafeng's daughter-in-law. ”

The noisy yard quickly quieted down. A variety of expressions appeared on everyone's faces. It would be a shame for a mother-in-law to snatch her daughter-in-law's things, but if a grandmother snatched something from her granddaughter-in-law who had just entered the door, it would be even more embarrassing.

He's old face turned red, and when he received everyone's eyes, he immediately rushed to Wu in annoyance, scolding the one who had lost his conscience, and slapped him over.

Just as the He family and the Wu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were starting, the shadow of the carriage slowly appeared at the entrance of Dagujia Village. In front of him was a large horse-drawn cart carrying a basket, a cloth bag, and fifty or sixty Chinese cabbages. At the back, there was a canopy carriage marked with the word "ancient", which was protected by six strong men.

Gu Erfeng, who was sent out by the Gu Wu clan to guard the entrance of the village, saw it, and hurriedly greeted him, rubbed his hands nervously, and talked to the acquaintance sitting on the cart, "Brother Yuanhe, is it cold on the road?" ”

Gu Yuanhe glanced at Gu Erfeng expressionlessly, mumbled, and stopped talking.

Seeing his reaction so cold, Gu Erfeng became more and more nervous, and couldn't find anything to say, so he just followed the carriage.

After walking for a while, the carriage did not turn in the direction of Gu Erfeng's house, but turned in the opposite direction.

Gu Erfeng was stunned, "Brother Yuanhe, it's a mistake." ”

Gu Yuanhe coughed, "We didn't make a mistake. Erfeng, go back, the master is here, not to your house. "Among the big families of Gu Hoe, Gu Yuanhe only has this Gu Erfeng in his eyes, but it's a pity that Gu Erfeng has such grandparents and mothers, which is destined that he will not become friends with Gu Erfeng.

Gu Erfeng is a smart man and a person who knows how to advance and retreat, he was stunned, retreated to the side of the road with a gloomy face, and squatted on the ground with his head in his arms after the carriage passed. He has a headache now, and his grandmother and his mother will definitely make a fuss if they know about it. How did he know that his grandmother and his mother had fallen out, for a golden step.

In the curious eyes of the villagers, the carriage stopped in front of the third grandmother's house. Gu Yuanhe jumped out of the carriage and stood in front of the courtyard gate, "Third grandfather, third grandmother, are you at home?" ”

The door of the east wing was the first to open, and out came a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman. With a white face, watery eyes, small lips and nose, and ordinary clothes in lotus color, she turned out to be a delicate country beauty. She saw the person standing outside the courtyard gate clearly, and a look of shame flashed on her face, "Brother Yuanhe, are all your injuries healed?" Grandparents are at home, come in. ”

Gu Yuanhe didn't expect it to be Gu Pingxiu, and took two steps back uncomfortably, "Hey, it's all right." Miss is free today, and she came to visit the three grandfathers and grandmothers. ”

Gu Pingxiu noticed the carriage parked outside the courtyard, was stunned for a moment, turned around and hurriedly raised his voice in the direction of the hall: "Grandparents, fathers and mothers, there are distinguished guests arriving, come out quickly." Then she called out to her nine-year-old brother, who was poking his head out of the east wing, and asked him to open the fence door wide, and beckoned: "Brother Yuanhe, don't stand outside, quickly drive the carriage in." ”

At this time, the doors of the hall, the east wing, and the west wing opened one after another, and most of the people at home came out. When they saw Gu Yuanhe and the carriage that drove into the courtyard, they all panicked.

Qing Shu was helped down from the carriage by the two maids, Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu, her eyes stopped on the faces of Gu Yuanhe and Gu Pingxiu, who was standing on the other side with her head bowed, and turned her face quietly, smiled lightly and walked towards the third grandmother who was helped out by her grandson, and curtsied, "Qingshu has seen the third grandmother." ”

The third grandmother's eyes immediately turned red, and she looked Qing Shu up and down, looking happy and sad.

Seeing this, Gu Da hurriedly reminded, "Mother, it's strange outside, it's only serious to invite Miss Gu into the house quickly." ”

The third grandmother hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, enter the house, come into the house." ”

Entering the house, Qing Shu saw the old man sitting on the edge of the kang with his legs pulled, and guessed that it was the third grandfather who injured his leg and was unable to move, so he curtfell again, "Qing Shu has seen the third grandfather." ”

Just now, the third grandmother was so excited that she didn't react. But the third grandfather reacted at this time, waved his hand, and said with an anxious face, he couldn't accept this gift, it should be them to give the young lady a gift.

Qing Shu smiled and didn't argue, and when the third grandmother sat down with the help of her grandson, she sat down with her and nodded to Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu.

Xiao Juan turned around and went out, asked Gu Yuanhe to take a basket covered with cloth from the back basket on the cart, took it, and carried it into the house. Xiaoyu took a burden from the carriage and carried it into the house.

The two maids put their things on the kang.

Qing Shu said with a smile, "I've been back in my hometown for a while, and I've been busy with resettlement, so I didn't bother to come to visit the second elder." There are fruits in the basket, not much, for everyone to taste. There are also two sets of clothes, which are made for the three grandfathers and three grandmothers, I don't know if they fit, I must wear them later, and if there are inappropriate places, let the aunts change them. ”

The third grandfather waved his hand, "No, no, you can't waste things like this, take it back, it's not easy for anyone to live." ”

Qing Shu leaned over and hugged the third grandmother's arm, "Look at the third grandfather, don't wait to see Qing Shu, and don't wait to see the things sent by Qing Shu, Qing Shu is going to be sad." Qingshu doesn't do it, why should he treat my father, he won't wait to see his father's daughter. ”

As soon as the general's father was mentioned, Qing Shu found that the expressions on the faces of the third grandfather and the third grandmother darkened, and the third grandmother wiped her tears, "Wait to see, grandma to see you." ”

The old family saw it from the side, and wanted to divert the conversation, and said with a little hesitation, "If the Zhuang family has coarse tea and light rice, if the young lady doesn't like it, let's go after eating." ”

Gu Da immediately glared, "Can you speak?" What to ask? Hurry up and go to Zhang Luo for lunch. ”

The third grandmother held Qingshu's hand, "Don't be angry, the eldest daughter-in-law can't speak, but she has a good temperament and a good person, so she doesn't mean anything else." ”

Qing Shu smiled and said, "What did the aunt say wrong, you have to say this about the aunt." Auntie, it's going to be troublesome for lunch, Qingshu is going to eat before leaving. "Xiaojuan, Xiaoyu, hurry up and go over to help my aunt."

Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu said yes crisply, and went out with the helpless old people left and right.

Qing Shu had no intention of keeping food at first, thinking that it would cause trouble to people. But since they mentioned it, she had no intention of refusing. There was a bag of white rice on the cart, twenty catties of white flour in the basket, two packets of sugar, snacks bought from the pastry shop in the town, and fifty or sixty cabbages and ten catties of pork belly. Now that the ingredients are available, it's not bad for her to eat them before leaving, so that some people's faces will look better.

Qing Shu's actions today were directly in the face of the Gu hoe family. The grandson of the Gu hoe family married, and the Gu Wu family invited the Gu Ye family to drink the wedding wine a few days ago, and the Gu Ye family verbally agreed. Now the ancient hoe family will publicize this matter all over the village, and every person will show that they are related to the ancient mansion.

But Qingshu directly burned the wedding sticker, and pinched the day and time to come to Dagujia Village, and did not go to Gu Hoe's house, but went to the third grandmother's house as a guest. She didn't eat the ten plates of noodles over there, but ate the food of the third grandmother's house. As soon as this matter spread, everyone knew that the ancient mansion did not want to see the Gu Hoe family, and the Gu Hoe family's previous ostentatious behavior became a joke and a big joke.

Only the third grandfather, the third grandmother and Gu Pingxiu were left in the house, and Qing Shu asked with a smile: "Third grandmother, I am close to you, will it cause you trouble?" This sounds abrupt and unreasonable, but those who should understand it can naturally understand it.

The third grandmother raised her eyes, "Did the Yuanhe kid tell you something?" ”

Qing Shu nodded, and said, "Recently, while I am not in the house, I have gone from time to time to coax my mother to get some benefits, and I don't know how many catties and taels I have, and I actually started the idea of my family." Not only that, today I want my mother to give a gift of one hundred taels, and I want my mother to give them a long face! ”

Naturally, the third grandmother's family didn't know about these things, and they were stunned for a moment. One hundred taels, the silver that the Zhuang family may not be able to save for more than ten or twenty years, so much appetite.

Qing Shu said again, "After my father left, I know exactly how everyone treated Gu Yuanhe. Who can come and who can't come and go, more than five years is enough time to see clearly. Third grandma, if you are afraid that someone will find trouble, Qingshu will never come to the door again. ”

The third grandmother grabbed Qingshu's hand, "You kid, why are you so heavy?" In the future, when you have time, you will come to sit and sit, but if you don't want to take things, no one's life will be easy. ”

The third grandfather, who had been silent, also spoke, "The general is a person who does not forget his roots, and those who have a conscience are grateful for the general's kindness, and those who have no conscience, let them make trouble and ignore them." ”

Qingshu said crisply, gossiping without a word, and finally brought the words to the beautiful little beauty Gu Pingxiu.

"Third grandma, is Sister Pingxiu engaged?" Qing Shu didn't have the consciousness of a little girl, so she actually asked such a question arrogantly. That is, no one cares about the top of her head, otherwise she would have been preached and reprimanded.

Gu Pingxiuteng, who was sitting down and handed over tea and poured water, blushed suddenly, lowered his head, and didn't dare to raise his face for a long time.

The third grandmother was stunned, this is the question that the little girl should ask. But she thought about it again, maybe the rich and noble people in the capital didn't have this kind of evasion, so she didn't think much about it, "No, the show girl is also a dead eye, she is seventeen years old, and she is not in a hurry about her marriage." ”

Dead Eye? What does this mean? Does it mean that you are interested in someone, and you are desperate to identify the person you like, and you are unwilling to say kiss? "It's only seventeen, it's still young, so it's not in a hurry." Qingshu came to the world.

"It's not small, the girl from another family should marry at seventeen. It's going to be nineteen, and then you'll be an old girl! The third grandmother made fun of her granddaughter with a happy face.

Qing Shu nodded with a black line on her face, yes, Li Haitang married at the age of nineteen, and everyone said that it was an old girl. But where is the old, where is the nineteen-year-old? It's the same age as a flower.

Over there, the battle between Gu He's and Gu Wu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has long ended, the banquet has been opened, and everyone is eating and drinking. Gu Erfeng's popularity in the village is okay, so he asked a few good brothers and people from his brother's family to hide the fact that the carriage of the ancient mansion entered the village but did not arrive at their house, and then lied that he was going to enter the town to pick up the people of the ancient mansion, went out and hid outside, and guarded the woman who did not let the broken mouth tell the news to the He family or the Wu family. He thought about it, as long as he hid it from today and finished the family affairs smoothly, his grandmother and his mother would be able to make trouble tomorrow.

Here, Qing Shu sat at the dinner table of the third grandmother's house, next to the third grandmother, and ate at the same table with several women from the aunt's generation. There are six dishes: scrambled eggs, fried cabbage with bacon, shredded meat and radish soup, stewed dried vegetables with chicken, fried peanuts, and fried green onions with sliced meat (most of them are meat), and the staple food is baked white flour cakes.

Qingshu was not twisted at all, she ate a piece of cake, and ate a few bites of each dish, especially the bacon fried cabbage, she praised the good craftsmanship of the aunts, and at the same time sandwiched a few more chopsticks and bacon to fry the cabbage. As for the stewed chicken, she basically didn't move, and the third grandmother gave her a chicken leg, which she pulled to the plate of scrambled eggs, and didn't move.

This big family finally killed a chicken and stewed it, she was really embarrassed to eat it. Besides, compared to them, her life is good, and there is nothing to say.

Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu were greeted by Gu Pingxiu and ate at another table. Xiaoyu has always been delicate, and the amount of food is not large. Xiaojuan was able to eat, she thought about giving her young lady a long face, so she ate some vegetables, ate two cakes, and followed Xiaoyu off the table after a while.

Gu Yuanhe, Li Dalang and the other strong men were divided into two tables, one table was accompanied by the elder brothers, and the other table was accompanied by adult grandchildren.

After eating and sitting for a while, Qingshu got up to say goodbye, and said that when his younger brother Mu rested, he would come and sit together.

On the way back, Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu whispered to Qingshu, saying that they bumped into Gu Pingxiu and Gu Yuanhe standing together and whispering, and when they saw them, Gu Pingxiu walked away with a red face, and Gu Yuanhe also walked away with an uncomfortable face.

Qing Shu blinked, "Did you hear their conversation?" Xin said, sure enough, there was adultery, and when she got out of the car, she felt that the expressions of the two were a little wrong. The daughter's face was shy, and the man lowered his head. Hmph, there is a problem at first glance.

The little fish shook his head.

Xiaojuan nodded and reported to Qing Shu with a mysterious expression, "Miss, I heard it." Gu Yuanhe said thank you for the medicine. The show girl said hesitantly that it was easy to pick. Then he covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "Miss, the faces of the two of them are so red." Besides, where can the medicine be easily collected, hehe......"

Qing Shu patted Xiaojuan and didn't allow her to laugh. I was thinking in my heart, there were a bunch of singles in their house, and it was time to start solving the lifelong affairs of the singles. Besides, Xiaoyu is also a seventeen-year-old girl, and it's time to get married. Xiaojuan is sixteen years old, and she can't wait long.

Thinking of this, she stroked her forehead. Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan have different temperaments, but they are both honest and responsible, and they use the most hearty. The only two girls she has at hand are the two girls she has at hand, what will she do if she marries off? Buy a maid again? She is rejected from the bottom of her heart. Because what you buy back is not necessarily honest, if it is a bunch of fancy intestines, always trying to climb up, not loyal enough, it will be annoying.

Li Dalang, who was driving the car, tapped the wall of the car with his fingers.

Qing Shu winked, and Xiaojuan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"There is an entourage of Yan Gongzi parked on the side of the road in front of him, and he is signaling to stop, as if he has something to say." Li Dalang reported.

As soon as he heard the three words of Yan Gongzi, Qing Shu remembered that he was a baby and a baby jerky, and finally cheapened Zhou Boyan's matter, and immediately became annoyed, "Ignore him." ”
