At the door of Gui's house, there were five or six carriages.

The first one is riding, and the four or five cars behind are all cages. There were people riding horses next to the carriage in front, and they were talking to the people in the carriage.

There happened to be someone in the yard, and when he heard the movement, he hurriedly probed out, and looked at the person who came, but he hesitated: "Who are you looking for?" ”

The visitor turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Tell the five Gui brothers that there is a distinguished guest coming to the door, let him come out quickly to greet him!" ”

When the man heard this, although he was confused, he could see the posture of the carriage at the door, and this must be a proper "distinguished guest".

In the main room of the Gui family, Gui Wu sat under Gui's second grandfather, talking to a few guests, all of whom were relatives and friends who had still had dealings with the Gui family over the years.

Hearing that a "distinguished guest" had arrived, Gui Wu got up: "Isn't it my uncle and aunt who have arrived?" I'm going to greet you. ”

I sent a letter to the Geng family in the town before, this is what Gui Wu meant, no matter what role Aunt Gui played in the middle of the two families back then, the two in-laws broke off their relations in the final analysis, and it was still a "poor" word. The Gui family was old and young at that time, and the Geng family was just an ordinary day, and it was estimated that they were afraid of being touched.

But just because the Geng family is estranged for a while, you can't forget the good things before. Now that Gui's second grandmother has a spring and autumn season, the Geng family's uncle and grandmother are a few years older than Gui's second grandmother, and if they don't take this opportunity to move around, they will only have regrets in the future.

Therefore, not only did he send Gui Chun to deliver the letter before, but Gui Wu also sent Gui Chun to invite him in person today, just because he was afraid that the Geng family would not be able to wipe his face and not come.

Second Grandpa Gui was calm, but his eyes couldn't hide his excitement. The uncle and grandfather of the Geng family are the eldest brothers, and they really didn't say anything about the second grandmother of Gui back then, even the family affairs of the Gui family were also picked by the uncle and grandfather of the Geng family for the sister-in-law. In the heart of Gui's second grandfather, he also respects his uncle very much.

Gui Chongyang originally accompanied the last seat, and when he saw this, he also curiously followed Gui Wu to go out to greet the guests.

didn't want to take two steps, Gui Wu in front of him stopped, turned to Gui Chongyang and said, "Go and call your fifth aunt to come out to greet people, it's your aunt's family who is here!" With that, he strode away.

In total, there is such a courtyard, there is no need for Gui Chongyang to call, the curtain of the west wing has been opened, and the Jiang family came out with a little excitement.

At the gate of the Gui family, Gui Wu gratefully rushed to the guest and said, "Senior brother." ”

The person who came was none other than the little official Zhong who had met with Gui Wu a few days ago. He didn't greet Gui Wu either, he gestured in the direction of the carriage and whispered, "Uncle Jiang is here." ”

At this moment, Jiang also walked quickly to the door, looking at the familiar carriage with red eyes.

Gui Wu hid his excitement and took two steps forward.

The carriage curtain was opened, revealing a kind old woman, who was Mrs. Jiang.

Gui Wu and Jiang stepped forward and helped Mrs. Jiang get out of the carriage.

Mrs. Jiang looked at the old and dilapidated farmhouse in front of her, and did not show the slightest disgust, but nodded and said, "It is more spacious than the courtyard in the city." ”

The two young couples at the door greeted the guests, and in the yard, Gui Chongyang had already gone to the kitchen to pull out Gui's second grandmother.

The first time the in-laws came to the door, the Gui family naturally could not only greet the younger generation, but always had to be received by the older generation. There is a difference between men and women, and Gui's second grandfather's legs and feet are inconvenient, so Gui's second grandmother has to come forward.

Gui Er's grandmother had nothing on her face, and she was a little nervous in her heart, although the two families are now in-laws, but in the end, "the door is not right, the household is wrong", and there is really nothing to do in her own family. If he is picked on and looked down upon by his in-laws, his son is afraid that he will feel uncomfortable.

Mrs. Jiang looked at the yard and saw Grandma Gui Er, and said with a smile: "This is my mother-in-law, I have wanted to see you for a long time, and I finally have to see you today." ”

The second grandmother of Gui saw that this in-law was wearing half-new muslin clothes, and there was only a green hosta on her head, and she was not wearing gold and silver, rich and noble, and her words were warm, she immediately secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and also showed a smile: "I should have visited a long time ago, old sister, the third sister is the benefactor of our Gui family, the old woman will treat her as a parent, old sister rest assured!" ”

Mrs. Jiang took Gui's second grandmother's hand: "The old girl doesn't want to say anything about a benefactor or a benefactor, there is no way to go outside, it is the fate of the two children." We have no other hope as parents, we just hope that the children are well. ”

Grandma Gui nodded and said, "Yes, it's good that the children are good." ”

Although the two old in-laws are meeting for the first time, one is straightforward and heartless, and the other is generous and friendly, and it doesn't seem to be a stranger.

Gui Chongyang had a good impression of the Jiang family and his wife, and when he saw that the two old ladies had greeted him, he also stepped forward to salute.

Mrs. Jiang was a little surprised when she saw him dark, and said: "It's dark, but the little boy is not naughty, and his bones are strong when he moves around outside, but he has to avoid the sun, and he will suffer from the summer heat." ”

Gui Chongyang responded honestly, Gui Wu pointed at him, and said to Mrs. Jiang: "I had to be able to cut wheat a few days ago, not to mention the dark circle, and the palms of my hands were also worn out, so I didn't dare to touch the water these days." ”

Mrs. Jiang came with a little distress on her face, but she didn't say anything to prevent Gui Chongyang from going to the ground, but said: "Learn slowly, don't worry, so is the fifth child." The last sentence was said to Gui Wu.

In the past few days, the Gui family has been cutting wheat and cutting wood, all of which are outdoor work, and Gui Wu is the main force, so naturally he has also tanned. Mrs. Jiang didn't want to say anything about Gui Wu directly, so she used Gui Chongyang to speak. It's just that the old lady is a person who understands and knows that no matter what happens to the uncle and nephew in the future, now that she has returned to the village and followed the customs of the villagers, she will inevitably do farming.

"It's just a few days." Gui Wu said with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang pointed to the carriages loaded with boxes: "Since you make up the wine today, this family affair must have the appearance of a family affair, and you can't let Siniang enter the Gui family naked." This is Siniang's dowry, the same as her three sisters, twenty-four dowries, ten acres of land, and twenty taels of silver. ”

This dowry is too rich, even the daughter of the richest village chief Du in the village, and there is no such amount.

Everyone looked at the carriage behind them, Gui Chongyang silently counted in his heart, one, two, three, four, five, six, there were six, and the boxes on them were stacked high, adding up to more than twenty-four.

Even if the Jiang sisters have twenty-four dowries, but a few of them are furniture, and the Jiang family's dowry is not furnished at the moment, so it should be impossible to make it up for a while.

"Mother, why are there so many boxes?" Gui Wu asked everyone's doubts.

"The first three carriages are pulling the dowry, and the last two carriages are pulling the daily clothes and items of you and Siniang. I'll clean it up for you, and I'll have to worry about it in the future. Mrs. Jiang said.

The reason why the old lady cleaned up so neatly was not to completely drive her daughter and son-in-law out of the house, but because she was afraid that the above daughters and sons-in-law would become more and more competitive for property in the future, and the private belongings of Siniang and his wife in the Jiang family would also be regarded as something in the bag, and it would be impossible to explain it when the time came.

Jiang is a young girl, and she keeps a lot of money, she is pampered when she is young, and she has two cars of private belongings; Gui Wu is the only man raised by the Jiang family and his wife, and he is treated as his own son, not only does he eat and wear, but he also has a lot of books and gadgets, and he has saved a carriage of things for more than ten years.

"That's too much!" Gui's second grandmother has always been a strong person who doesn't like to take advantage, even if she knows that this is the Jiang family's subsidy for her daughter and son-in-law, and her daughter-in-law and son can only suffer as juniors, she is still at a loss and full of anxiety.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "It's all old things for daily use, it's not worth anything, and it's useless to stay there." ”

Gui Wu and Jiang didn't say anything, but looked at the husband and wife's eyes moisturized a lot.

Everyone's attention was attracted by a few carriages, but Gui Chongyang saw the two people standing not far away, hesitated, and asked in a low voice, "Fifth Uncle invited Mei Tongsheng?" ”

Gui Wu shook his head and said, "The two families have long been in contact, why do you invite him to do it?" ”

Gui Chongyang raised his chin at the east: "Uninvited, this is not a good person!" ”
