Gui Chongyang walked in front with Gui Wu and Gui Chun, and after listening to a sentence, the corners of his mouth twitched. He remembered that it was Grandpa Zhang and the Zhang family who first called him "Little San'er". He can directly tell the Jiang family not to call himself "Little San'er", but it is not good to say this directly to the Zhang family, it is too rude.

Mei said: "There is the fifth child here, he doesn't dare." ”

As for Xiao Chongyang's previous intimidation and blackmailing of Mei Tongsheng with the whereabouts of Mei Duo's biological mother, there was no need to tell outsiders, so Mei hid it.

Aunt Zhang nodded, but she was not suspicious. Mei Tongsheng, who has always been stingy, is willing to take out ten acres of land and a dozen taels of silver, isn't it just for the sake of Gui Wumian? It's Li Facai's family, there has always been only one who enters, where is the time to go out? Didn't he obediently compensate poplar this time.

Because of these two things, Gui Wu's prestige in the village has always reached its peak. It is the Zhang family, who has been neighbors with Gui's second grandfather for decades, who dare not be too casual and presumptuous in front of Gui Wu.

After speaking, he arrived at Gui's second grandfather's house.

Jiang came out of the upper room with a broom, and wanted to unload things with everyone, but was stopped by Gui Er's grandmother: "There are so many people, you are so staying." ”

Rao is like this, and the Jiang family is not really good at it, so he took a small thing and helped Mei's aunt and nephew clean up the house.

Gui Wu, Gui Chun and others unloaded their luggage and went back to the old house to move the bookcase.

Gui Chongyang still lives with Gui Chun, but not in the east room, but in the upper room and west house. It was proposed by Gui Wu, although it was only for two months, but according to Gui's second grandfather's arrangement, five people would live in the two rooms in the east wing, which was too crowded, not to mention that there was Gui Chun and Mei Duo, an unmarried couple, who looked up and didn't look down, it was inconvenient.

When Gui Chun moved to the West House, he vacated a bedroom, and it was not good for Mei's aunt and nephew to live in, so Yang moved over and vacated his house for Mei's aunt and nephew.

Mei was a little uneasy, and thanked Yang repeatedly.

Yang smiled: "It's all a family, what's the outside world?" Your aunts and nephews will have an embroidery frame, and the house will be brighter. ”

Mei Duo followed behind her aunt, relieved in her uneasiness. Living next to each other is not the same as living in one room, I thought I would live in the same house with the Yang family, Mei Duo has always been worried.

Gui's second grandmother went directly to the East House and told the old man about writing a marriage book, and she needed to write a marriage book and a matchmaker to witness it. Second Grandpa Gui thought about it and said, "The Song family has a marriage certificate, please come to Mrs. Song!" ”

This Song mother-in-law is the matchmaker in the village, and the Gui family entrusted her because of Gui Chun's affairs before, but she was pushed back. But now that it's being used, Grandma Gui Er won't be angry and won't look for someone, so she said, "Then the old woman will go!" ”

When they arrived at the hall, Gui Er's grandmother went directly to the West House, and Gui Chongyang was sorting out the bookbox.

Second Grandma Gui hesitated for a moment, beckoned Gui Chongyang and said, "Let's go, accompany the old woman to the Song family." ”

Gui Chongyang answered and came out with Gui's second grandmother.

He is also a little curious about Murakami, the Song family. The Song family is an old household in Mujia Village, the male father and son have been doctors for generations, and the female relatives here have been mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law for generations as matchmakers, and they can also deliver babies for others. It's just that the people are a little thinner, and they are not as large as the four surnames Gui, Mei, Yang, and Li.

Grandma Gui didn't leave immediately, stood in the courtyard and shouted to Yang: "Add two more dishes at noon, and I'll take Chongyang to invite Mrs. Song!" ”

Yang immediately responded, and asked again: "Do you want to prepare two chickens alone?" ”

Grandma Gui nodded and said, "Medium." ”

After instructing her daughter-in-law, Gui's second grandmother took Gui Chongyang out, and said as she walked: "Living in the village, there are a few families that cannot be offended, one is the Song family. Otherwise, there is no place to see the disease. The doctor in the town is dead, who dares to go to see it. Even if you don't see a doctor, this family has to marry a daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law, and it can't be separated from the Song family! His eldest grandson is studying in the village school, and you can see him in the future, and he gets along well. ”

Gui Chongyang responded and said, "Is there anyone else who can't be offended?" ”

"The Lin family also has to offer!" Gui Er's grandmother said: "The people don't fight with the officials, and the Lin family has clansmen who are officials in the capital, not that we ordinary people can offend." Besides, the Lin family is kind, when your third grandmother sold the field, she pulled our Gui family along, and she often brought grain to the village over the years, which is all kindness. ”

"What about the Du family?" Gui Chongyang Road.

Grandma Gui was silent for a long time, and said for a while: "When Du Li was just becoming Lizheng before, there were two households in the village who were not convinced, choked twice, and finally moved. Du family, you have to guard against it! ”

Things are expensive to leave their hometowns, and people are cheap to leave their hometowns, but as long as they can continue to live, who wants to move? This involves household registration and land, as well as human relations, who will leave their hometown if they are not forced to be helpless?

Du Li is making a ruthless move, leaving no room for anyone, this is the case for the Gui family, and the same is true for the two "chickens" who want to "kill chickens and monkeys".

After speaking, he arrived at the door of Song's house.

The layout of the Song family is similar to that of Gui's second grandfather's house, except that there are three rooms in the east and west wings, the yard is paved with green bricks, no poultry is raised, and a lot of herbs are dried. A mother-in-law in her fifties was squatting on the ground, turning herbs with a little girl, and when she heard movement at the door, she forgot to come.

Seeing that it was Gui's second grandmother, the mother-in-law stood up and greeted her: "Gui's second sister-in-law is here, but what's uncomfortable?" Saying that, she looked at Gui Er's grandmother, and saw that there was nothing wrong with the old lady's ruddy face, and she looked at Gui Chongyang beside her.

Grandma Gui Er waved her hand and said, "Your health is fine, there is nothing wrong, I don't look for your old Song, I specially invited you here." Chun'er wants to get married, looking for you to write a marriage book! ”

Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "That's good, white Xie Matchmaker!" ”

Grandma Gui said happily: "Xie Mingli is also fully prepared. ”

Mrs. Song beckoned the two into the house, and called her granddaughter to bring sugar water.

Doctor Song was also at home, but because Gui's second grandmother was there, he didn't enter the house, but only looked at Gui Chongyang at the door, and said, "This is the grandson of Brother Gui's family?" ”

Grandma Gui nodded and said, "Just this single seedling, known as Chongyang, is twelve years old this year." He said to Gui Chongyang again: "Call Grandpa Song." ”

Gui Chongyang had already gotten up and saluted Dr. Song.

Doctor Song nodded and said, "It's a neat child, as old as our Sanqi, and we will often come over to play in the future." With that, he paced away.

"Sanqi is my eldest grandson, who is also twelve, and now he is studying in the school." Mrs. Song changed her clothes and came in, and said.

Mrs. Song's daughter-in-law was not at home, Mrs. Song took a blank marriage book, instructed her granddaughter a few words, and then came out with Gui's second grandmother and Gui Chongyang.

"But what about the girl Meiduo?" Mrs. Song asked with a smile.

"Guess it, it's that girl!" Gui Er's grandmother said.

"In the end, it's a building near the water, and I got a cheap sect, and now it's not a family or two that is worried about the girl, yesterday Li Dazhu's family asked me to ask their second son." Mrs. Song said.

The second son of Li Dazhu's family is the one who was injured when the wild boar caught the wild boar yesterday. Gui Chongyang compared him with Gui Chun in his heart, and found that his cousin was more reliable.

Gui's second grandmother also said proudly: "It's not the old woman who praises her grandson, in this village's right-like offspring, our Chun'er can also be counted." ”

Mrs. Song said: "Duo girl has a dowry of five acres of land, and it is also the first among the daughters in our village." This dowry has been laid out, what is the second sister-in-law preparing for the dowry? ”

It's not that Mrs. Song is gossipy, but that the dowry and dowry must be written into the marriage book.

After Mei Tongsheng's publicity, everyone knows that Mei Duo has five acres of dowry land and eight taels of dowry silver, otherwise so many people would not be optimistic about Mei Duo at once. used to dislike her for having no father and mother, but now she has land and silver, and her shortcomings have grown. There is no mother's family to rely on, and the dowry is free when it comes into the door.

Grandma Gui straightened her chest and said, "I discussed with the old man before, and we will pay eight taels of silver as a dowry." ”

Although according to the usual practice, the dowry is equivalent to the dowry, but because Mei Duo has a dowry field, the Gui family can't hold this amount, so they can only calculate it according to the dowry in Mei Duo's hand. That's it, there are many in the village. If Gui Wu hadn't come back and given Gui Er's grandmother dozens of taels of silver, Gui Er's grandmother wouldn't have been so confident.

Mrs. Song smacked her tongue, knowing that the Gui family's days had really risen.

*

The marriage certificate is in duplicate, one for each man. It should be filled in with dual media, that is, the male matchmaker and the female matchmaker.

Although Mrs. Song was invited by Gui's second grandmother, she acted as a matchmaker for the woman; The man's matchmaker is here, and Grandpa Gui went directly to invite Grandpa Zhang over.

The marriage letter wrote eight taels of silver, and the second grandfather Gui also took out a few small ingots prepared and let Mei accept them.

The old couple of the Gui family set the dowry so high, in addition to making Mei Duo's face, it was for Mei Duo, so that she could take the silver to Mei Duo to handle the dowry, and save herself to make up for it.

It's just that Mei Shi has no meaning, and has already made up his mind to give the eight taels of silver to Mei Duo to press the bottom of the box.

When the marriage is written, the name is decided.

Mei Duo never showed up, hiding in the east wing; Gui Chun was there, and his face was red, but he was unspeakably excited.

Gui Chongyang watched from the sidelines, thinking about Mei Duo's birthday.

Mei Duo is born in April, and there are still ten months to next year, and the wedding date is mostly after Ji Lu, and when the house on the old house is finished, it is time to start preparing a dowry for Mei Duo.

Six dishes were prepared for lunch, and the housewarming banquet and engagement banquet were counted together.

Seeing that Mei Duo wants to look good, and wants a dowry, she chokes Aunt Zhang with envy. It's just that the two eldest sons of their family are engaged, and they are only waiting for their daughter-in-law to enter the door, and the younger one is several years old, so they can only be envious in vain.

The Yang family had complained about Mrs. Song because her eldest son couldn't talk about her relatives before, but now she also took the initiative to pour wine and took a step back. The eldest son is married, it should be the second child's turn, and there will be trouble for Mrs. Song in the future.

Where didn't Mrs. Song know about Yang's previous complaints? But that's also a matter of no way, Gui Wu didn't come back before, the Gui family's days are not hopeful, Gui Chun is the eldest grandson, and the old people above are naturally difficult to say goodbye. When it is Guiqiu's turn, it won't be like this, the second child will always have to be divided, the life of the Gui family is up again, and it is not difficult to be a matchmaker by yourself.

Full of wine and food, Mrs. Song left with the big rooster as a matchmaker.

The Gui family didn't let it be hidden, this marriage was also a happy event, and when Mrs. Song came home, many people knew about Mei Duo and Gui Chun's engagement.
