Gui Chongyang didn't know that his arrival had brought shock to Mujia Village, and seeing Mei's aunt and nephew cleaning up the house, he couldn't help, so he sneaked out and stood in front of the wooden door waiting for Gui Chun.

Gui Chun had already picked up the last trip to the water, and came back with sweat on his forehead, and there were a few small tails falling behind him, which were the naughty boy who had shown Gui Chongyang the way before.

Seeing Gui Chongyang, a few naughty boys stopped, stood there and watched, and then ran away in a swarm.

Gui Chongyang was baffled and didn't know what he had to look at.

Gui Chun put down the flat shoulder and wanted to pour water, Gui Chongyang followed and wanted to help, Gui Chun was startled, and hurriedly stopped: "Put it down, you have thin arms and thin legs, where can you move?" ”

Gui Chongyang's subordinates did not stop, steadily lifting a bucket of water and pouring it into a four-foot-high water tank.

Gui Chun opened his mouth wide in surprise, looked at Gui Chongyang and was curious: "I really can't see that you are so thin and small, but you are a lot of strength." ”

Gui Chongyang said with a little pride: "I often do housework at home, and now I look thin, because of my long body drawn." ”

Gui Chun hesitated for a moment and said: "Countrymen keep filial piety, there are not so many rules, you are just a long body, even if the fourth uncle is knowledgeable, he doesn't want you to eat well because of filial piety." ”

Gui Chongyang smiled lightly and did not answer. Rural people have to do manual work, so naturally they don't need to pay attention to filial piety like the literati; However, since he is a scholar and a scholar, he must abide by the rules of a scholar, not for anyone to see, but because he sincerely mourns his "father", he is willing to abide by the etiquette of filial piety.

Others may be able to "be lenient with oneself and strict with others", but Gui Chongyang can't do it, he has an excellent "father", and he also firmly believes that he will become an excellent person if he lives up to the teachings of his "father".

Gui Chun still wanted to persuade him, but Gui Chongyang said in a low voice: "What's the matter with Brother Chun and Cousin Mei?" Since she is the same age, why didn't the second aunt think about Brother Chun's relatives and didn't expect Cousin Mei? ”

The question was abrupt, but Gui Chun was not unhappy, but his face was pale, with uneasiness and panic: "Don't say it, my cousin and I are like brothers and sisters, where is there?" ”

Gui Chongyang frowned and said, "Brother Chun is a man, why don't you have any responsibility at all?" It is natural for a man to marry a woman, what is there to say? Or do you have other plans, look down on Cousin Mei, an orphan girl, and dislike her for not having a dowry? ”

Gui Chongyang returned to the north for the first time, but he had seen the wind of marriage in the south. There is a bad habit of drowning female babies in Jiangnan, which is because ordinary people are unable to marry girls.

Gui Chun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't want to take responsibility, don't say it's really hard to say, don't dislike it, don't dislike it!" ”

Gui Chun is clumsy, but at the moment, this series of problems is not messy.

Gui Chongyang said: "Then what's the secret, why can't you directly say to the second aunt that you want to marry Cousin Mei?" ”

Gui Chun smiled bitterly, and said for a while: "Before the eldest grandmother passed away last year, I mentioned that I wanted to give my cousin to Xiao Er, and Xiao Er was also very happy......

The "little er" in Gui Chun's mouth is his younger brother Gui Qiu, who is not at home as an apprentice in the town's grocery store, and Gui Chongyang has not seen it.

If you are a native of other Ming people, most of them will think that Gui Chun is right, "Brothers are siblings, and wives are like clothes", but Gui Chongyang in front of him is "native" good, but not "native".

The little man frowned, and his eyes were condemned: "How can you be so confused? Cousin Mei is a big living person, and she is not an object, so she can let it go. Even if Second Brother Qiu likes Cousin Mei, it may be the love of his childhood sweetheart; Even if you really have feelings, what is there? How old is he, and there will be more women he will meet in the future, so why do you have to ask for Cousin Mei? ”

A five-foot-tall half-grown child, acting like a little adult, said these little adult words, outsiders saw that the mask was ridiculous, but Gui Chun was already weak-hearted, and listened honestly with his head drooped.

When he heard the end, Gui Chun raised his head, and there was more hope in his eyes: "Isn't Xiao Er really not okay without Cousin Mei?" ”

Gui Chongyang rolled his eyes: "If it doesn't work, you will let it?" ”

Gui Chun's face was full of struggle, and finally whispered: "Then it's up to my cousin, if my cousin doesn't want to, I'll go and tell my grandparents." ”

Gui Chongyang said dissatisfiedly: "You only thought of Second Brother Qiu's side, so you don't want to think about Cousin Mei's age." Cousin Mei is fourteen, and since the Mei family has calculated her aunt, will she let Cousin Mei go in vain? My aunt is a member of the Gui family, but Cousin Mei is still a member of the Mei family, the Mei family can even marry a niece and daughter-in-law for the sake of money, and now there is a more valuable yellow flower girl, can they look at it in vain? ”

Gui Chongyang is really convinced, hasn't this big family thought about this possibility? I have to wait for others to calculate and bully before resisting and responding.

Gui Chun's eyes widened, and there was a raging anger inside: "They dare!" Whoever dares to touch my cousin, I'll kill him! ”

Gui Chongyang said angrily: "Stupid! You have this life of your own? Let the second aunt live, let the second grandfather and the second grandmother live? If you say such things again, you really don't have to marry Cousin Mei, who would dare to be a daughter-in-law with such a disaster! ”

There are three men in the younger generation of the Gui family, Gui Qiu has not seen and does not know his character, and the lobby brother Gui Chongyang in front of him is of great use. Honest and obedient, he is a good person who can trust the training, but now it seems that he is impulsive and brainless. In the end, it is a young man, who only thinks about these feelings and loves.

Gui Chongyang was a little disappointed, and saw the figure flickering at the door, and then Mei Shi came out, and said with an anxious and regretful face: "It's me who is confused, and after a long time of stability, I forgot about this stubble, they won't let go of Duo'er!" Chongyang, since you have an idea, help your aunt think about it, what to do, you can't let them harm Duo'er. ”

Don't look at Gui's second grandfather and Gui's second grandmother, they all despise Mei Tongsheng's character, and feel that good and evil are rewarded, but even if there is retribution, it will be later. The Mei family has now passed the house, Mei Tongsheng has never passed the government exam in his life, but his son has passed, and there is a qualified grandson who passed the government exam last year, and he is the youngest student in the county school.

Three generations of scholars in the family, for the sake of fame, the Mei family will not directly sell their nieces and granddaughters, but they can ask for a high dowry, and it is not impossible to tell Mei Duo to a disabled person or a stepfamily. The poor show talent, the rich man, the Mei family's uncle and nephew have to take the test, they are all burning money, and now they are short of a sum of silver.

Gui Chun looked at Gui Chongyang, his honest face was full of panic and expectation.

Gui Chongyang looked at the two in front of him, then looked at the half-pulled figure behind the door curtain, and said confidently: "There is only a thousand days to be a thief and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, I am afraid that he will not move, and I am not afraid that he will calculate." Cousin Mei is certainly the Mei family, but the Mei family on the household is not Mei Tongsheng's family. When they move, you have to settle accounts with them, and you can't let them take advantage of them in vain, and let your aunt and Cousin Mei suffer......"

My aunt looks old because of the burden of life, but her actual age is only twenty-eight years old, and she has been recuperating for two years, so she may not have the days of marriage; Whether Mei Duo is married to the Gui family brothers or to someone else, the circumstances are always different with a dowry and without a dowry.

Not to mention others, these two women in the family are the first debt that Gui Chongyang wants to make up for on behalf of his "father".
