Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Chu Family Marries
When the two of them returned to the ox cart, there were already a few people waiting next to them, Gu Lan glanced at it, and Chen Zhilan had not come back yet.
Uncle Zhao helped her and her mother put their things on the ox cart and put them away, and began to wait for the others.
Li Yanpin stood aside and chatted with a few other people, and talked about the Chu family's marriage. said that Chu's mother had asked the matchmaker to calculate the date, which was on the eighth day of this month.
Gu Lan listened to it on the side, according to the rules in the countryside, this day will not be welcomed until the end of the year, so that there will be enough time, and you can free up time to prepare dowries and other things.
The Chu family is so anxious to welcome their relatives, it is because General Chu's time is running out. Chu Mu panicked.
"Hey! I heard that General Chu can't even get out of bed now, I'm afraid that time is running out, and I'm afraid that this bride will really have to be widowed when she marries. As if to confirm Gu Lan's thoughts, an aunt sighed.
That is, seeing that Gu Chunhua thinks of himself as the general's wife all day long, I am afraid that I can't cry anymore. Another aunt said with schadenfreude.
She has long been unaccustomed to Gu Chunhua's arrogant appearance, now it's okay, General Chu is going to die, see if she is still proud?
"I heard that Mrs. Chu came to propose marriage, Chunhua and her mother wanted to ruin the marriage, so she tore up with Mrs. Chu, and she didn't ask for anything good, and she was embarrassed."
"Humph! When he saw that other generals were rich and powerful, he wanted to climb up, and when he saw that his life was dying, he wanted to ruin his marriage. Good things can't be taken up by her alone, the marriage of the Chu family, can she withdraw if she says to retreat? ”
"That is, what kind of family is the Chu family? Even the emperor attaches great importance to the general, and if she wants to withdraw from the marriage, it depends on whether the Chu family agrees or not. ”
"Don't chew your tongue behind your back, what does the marriage between my Gu family and the Chu family have to do with you? Chew your tongue again and see that I don't tear your mouths. An abrupt voice sounded, Chen Zhilan would come, and she was hearing their conversation.
After listening to it, he was so angry that he became angry.
"Oops! Are you still afraid of what others will say? Besides, we're telling the truth, but we're not chewing on the root of our tongue. An aunt was also unconvinced.
She is not afraid of Chen Zhilan, she is the aunt of the landlord's family Master Zhao, and she is not polite to Chen Zhilan at all.
Chen Zhilan saw that she answered, and she didn't dare to offend Master Zhao.
But she couldn't hold back this breath, and when she saw Li Yanpin standing aside and watching the excitement, she became angry, "Brother and sister are watching like this, Chunhua is your niece, and she won't help her say a fair word." ”
"I ......"
Li Yanpin was at a loss, he didn't say a word, but he was still affected
Gu Lan watched from the side and thought, "This Chen Zhilan is really a mad dog, catch whoever bites whom." ”
Uncle Zhao saw that they were arguing again, so he had to step forward and persuade, "Okay, let's not say a word, I'm going back, get in the car and sit down." ”
Then they got into the ox cart and sat down, but it was different from when they came. This time, everyone sat far away from Chen Zhilan, and she sat alone in the back of the car, isolated by everyone.
The ox cart drove slowly towards Zhengning Village, and Uncle Zhao was waving a bullwhip and smoking dry tobacco, looking comfortable!
Rural people quarrel and come and go quickly, just now they were blushing and thick-necked, but now they are getting together again, and Chen Zhilan also joined.
There is still a lot of gossip in the village, whose daughter-in-law quarreled with her in-laws again, and the son of the landlord molested the girl again? …… I couldn't finish talking about miscellaneous things, and when I arrived at the entrance of the village, several women got out of the car and chattered, for fear that everyone would leave before they finished speaking.
Gu Lan got out of the car and paid for the car, and returned home with Li Yanpin.
Gu Jinkang knew that they had rushed to the market early in the morning, so he made some pimple soup and drank it himself.
I didn't go out because my legs were inconvenient, and I leaned against the door and waited for the two to come back. Gu Lan saw Gu Jinkang leaning against the door and looking at it from a distance, and the expectant eyes made Gu Lan's heart warm.
She quickly ran over to help Gu Jinkang, "Daddy's leg is not good, rest more, don't wait for us." ”
"Dad is fine, the old bed is getting lazy, wait here, Dad is steady"
Helping Gu Jinkang sit down, Gu Lan took out the big bun in the cloth bag, "Dad, look, I bought the bun and came back, you can taste it." ”
Seeing the buns, Gu Jinkang's eyes lit up, he no longer knew what the taste of white bread was? There is not enough coarse grain at home, so how can I have spare money to buy white bread.
What comes to mind then? The hand that stretched out to the bun retracted again, "Mingzhu, where did you get the money to buy the bun?" ”
"Dad, you can eat with confidence! The daughter doesn't steal or rob, and this bun was bought by the daughter with the money she earned. ”
Li Yanpin also walked to the door at this time, and said in a casual voice, "Her father, this bun is indeed bought by her daughter with money." ”
"You made money to buy it, did you really sell those herbs for money?" He saw Gu Lan and Li Yanpin picking herbs on the Drum Mountain, and said that they wanted to sell them for money. He was noncommittal, just thought that she was playing blindly, and didn't take it seriously, but he didn't expect those herbs to really sell for money.
"Someone collects the herbs, is the price good?" Don't get me wrong, it's going to heal, it's going to kill you!
"Dad, you doubt that your daughter can, but is the shopkeeper of the pharmacy a person who can fool around? The herbs had been inspected by him before he had received them. ”
"Oh! If you have the shopkeeper's eye, it should be fine. Gu Jinkang was finally relieved, picked up the bun and ate it.
"Mingzhu, how much did those herbs sell?" Gu Jinkang asked while eating.
"There are five taels of silver, and the shopkeeper said that it is not sun-dried, and the price will be better if it is sun-dried." Mingzhu said while helping Li Yanpin get things.
"So much?" Gu Jinkang's hand holding the bun trembled a little, and there was a kind of incredulity in his eyes.
He only sold a wild boar for six taels of silver, and the humble herbs in his daughter's basket were sold for five taels of silver.
"Daddy, herbs are valuable, you see that you spent three taels of silver on a few packets of medicine, and the amount of those packets of medicine is less than one-tenth of the number of herbs in the basket. Think about how many packets of medicine can be made from that big basket of herbs. Seeing that Gu Jinkang didn't believe that herbs were valuable, Gu Lan patiently explained to him.
"Then I'll help too, you can concentrate on picking herbs, and your mother and I will do the washing." As soon as he heard that there was money to be made, Gu Jinkang looked at the leg injury and thought about helping.
"Daddy, let's rest! Wait until your leg is better to help. Gu Lan hurriedly persuaded.
If you don't recover for a hundred days, you will be in trouble if you fall into the root of the disease.
"Daddy, I want to build a greenhouse, I don't know if there is anyone nearby who does short-term work, just a few days, I will pay the salary." Gu Lan was still thinking about the words of the restaurant owner, and he wanted to cultivate vegetables.
As long as the greenhouse is built, you can have a stable income.
