When Gui's fifth uncle and nephew returned to Gui's house, both rooms knew about Gui Chongyang's purchase of shops.

Mei breathed a sigh of relief, with an industry, there will be income, even if Gui Chongyang does not know agricultural affairs in the future, and does not win in the imperial examination, he can still encourage him to make a living.

Mei Duo is the same as her aunt, she was also worried about the livelihood of the Gui family, and her aunt gave her the bulk of the land as a dowry, and now the Gui family only has seven acres of land, and Gui Chongyang can't go to the ground, and drink the northwest wind after no income?

The second room of the Gui family here has different thoughts.

Even if everyone guessed that Gui Chongyang's silver was more than fifty taels, they didn't expect him to be so generous that he could directly buy two shops and a house.

It's not that anyone is worried about Gui Chongyang's money, but they can't help but speculate about what Gui Yuan has done in Nanjing over the years? How to save all this money.

Gui Chongyang didn't say anything like returning the two shops and a house to the public, he still understood the truth of "promoting Mien and fighting Mi Qiu", but he said that he would open a food shop and let Gui Qiu and Zhou Lilac run it.

Gui Er's grandmother and Gui Er's grandfather are old people who are going through things, and when they hear this, they understand what is going on, and they all look at Gui Wu.

Gui Chongyang is more than ten years old, he knows something, this must be Gui Wu's uncle's arrangement. Can the Zhou family be happy with this arrangement?

On the contrary, it was Yang's who couldn't help but worry when he heard it: "This week's girl is capable, but when she sees someone else, what should I do when I pick a child?" ”

Gui Wudao: "Sister-in-law, I want to tell Qiu'er about the girl of the Zhou family, and my sister-in-law can look at that girl?" ”

Yang was stunned, and said with a little hesitation: "This week's family is in the town, where will the girl be said to the country?" ”

Although Zhou Lilac has a cool and capable temperament, which is more in line with Yang's expectations for her daughter-in-law than Mei Duo, she never dared to think about it in the end, "the door is not right, the household is wrong". What she paid attention to before was only the nieces and nieces of the Yang family.

Gui Wudao: "Since I dare to mention it, I am sure." Our family is in the village, but Qiu'er is not in the town? Later, he opened a shop in the town, and he could take care of the Zhou family. ”

Yang Shi was pleasantly surprised: "There is no better, I really can't think of it, thank you for thinking about your nephew!" ”

"The dowry is here, my sister-in-law and my father and mother are watching it, and the shop in the town, Chongyang said, so I asked Qiu'er and the Zhou family girl to watch and give Qiu'er two percent of dry shares." Gui Wudao.

Gui Chongyang said that he would give Zhou Lilac Yicheng and Gui Qiu Yicheng, but in Zhou Lilac he wanted to say it to Gui Qiu, and it was not bad to say it directly to Gui Qiu.

At this time, it was Yang who shook his head: "This is too much, even if you give half of it, it is enough." ”

It's not that the Yang family is poor and generous, but she is worried that her son will not be able to pay too many dividends for a long time. Brothers, settle accounts, the shop and business are Gui Chongyang's after all.

Second Grandpa Gui also said: "Help his brother, what kind of red do you share?" ”

Grandma Gui hesitated, but did not speak. If you don't pay dividends, do you want Gui Qiu to be a long-term worker for Gui Chongyang? But this dividend seems to be taking advantage of Gui Chongyang.

Gui Chongyang said: "If the shop is not used by your family, you can rent it out directly, and it will cost you twenty or thirty taels of silver a year; If this snack shop is done, but it can be doubled, it will be divided into two percent for Second Brother Qiu, and I will take a big advantage. I'm about to go to the village school to study, and I can only rest assured if I leave it to the second brother Qiu to take care of it. ”

Gui Wudao: "That's it, I've already mentioned it to Master Zhou, and Master Zhou is also optimistic about this stall, so he won't stop Qiu'er and Zhou Yatou from coming over to help." ”

Since Gui Wu returned to the Gui family, he has been the backbone of the family, and since he said so, others will no longer be verbose.

Yang was pleasantly surprised, and couldn't help but be apprehensive, and said to Gui's second grandmother: "Mother, what is the girl in the town, how can you give this dowry?" Do you want to ask? ”

Second Grandma Gui glared at Yang: "Then it's the girl in the town, and it's also the little daughter-in-law, and there is no reason to cross the eldest daughter-in-law!" ”

Yang woke up and said the wrong thing, and was busy going to see Mei and Mei Duo.

Mei Duo held the embroidery shed in her hand, bowed her head and concentrated on embroidery, but she didn't know what to do.

Mei is not a fussy person, and smiled at Yang.

Yang was embarrassed and explained to Mei in a low voice: "Sister, sister-in-law doesn't mean anything else, isn't this afraid that our family will climb the Zhou family, it's too shabby to make people laugh?" ”

Mei nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I didn't misunderstand." ”

Anyway, the silver is in the hands of Gui Er's grandmother, and in the end, Gui Er's grandmother is in charge, and Mei's family is not worried that the Zhou family's dowry is really higher than Mei Duo. Not to mention that her aunt will not be happy, even Gui Chongyang will not allow it.

Sure enough, I heard Gui Chongyang say as if he had no intention: "It's to give gold and silver, don't others know that we are from the village?" There is no need to slap a swollen face and become fat, just follow Brother Chun's example, just reduce it slightly. ”

When Grandma Gui heard this, she didn't nod or shake her head, but looked at Gui Wu.

Gui Wu nodded and said, "The young and the old are orderly, what Chongyang said is reasonable." ”

Gui's second grandmother clapped the board and said: "Then six taels of silver as a dowry, and make it clear to the Zhou family, when Qiu'er gets married, they will be separated, the family can't help them with anything, and they won't take anything from them, and let them save everything they earn in the future." ”

It's not that Gui's second grandmother is generous, it's common for this brother to split up, some of them are separated directly after they get married, and some are separated after their parents die.

At the age of fifteen, Gui Qiu went to the town as an apprentice, and his family did not help him. It's this family business, and Gui Wu helped find it, and the family is just a dowry, no matter how much it is, it can't be.

The old lady is an understanding person, and she knows that Gui Wu and Gui Chongyang's uncle and nephew both have some silver, but she doesn't think about "both wealth".

Needless to say, Gui Chongyang is separated from the house, and it is regarded as two families; is the youngest son, the family only raised until he was eleven years old, and he went out to be a child son-in-law, even if he continued to do so over the years, he didn't know how much he had worked hard to save. As a parent, you can't help your son, and it would be too much to deduct your son's savings.

If you can do this for your son, you can naturally be as fair as possible to your grandchildren and old ladies, and the family can't help anything, and you won't "rob the rich and help the poor" to exploit anyone.

Now Gui Qiu and Zhou Dingxiang have taken over Gui Chongyang's shop, and there are two reds every year, if they don't split up, they will have to get this money to the family, how to distribute it at that time, there will be people who are as they wish and some people are unsatisfactory, rather than hurt the harmony because of the money, it is better to put an end to it from the beginning.

Second Grandpa Gui has always respected his old wife, and when he heard this, he nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Yang frowned: "Where is this where you can be separated from each other?" When the new daughter-in-law enters the door, she always has to eat in a pot for a few years, and the affection is deeper. ”

Gui's second grandmother said: "If you start a family in the future, you will definitely have to live in the town, how can you have a pot to shave food?" ”

Yang said: "Qiu'er is in the town, and her daughter-in-law is also in the town?" ”

Gui's second grandmother said: "Don't stay in the town to take care of Qiu'er, and come back to the village?" There is no shortage of her in this big family. ”

Yang is still a little scared, Mei can't help but worry when she sees it, what does Yang mean? Do you think that "a daughter-in-law who has been a wife for many years" wants her daughter-in-law to wait? If this is the case, the younger daughter-in-law is not in front of her, will she start calling the eldest daughter-in-law?

Mei Shi glanced at Mei Duo, Mei Duo was still embroidering, but there was no neat work on weekdays, and she didn't embroider half a leaf in half a day.

Gui Er's grandmother persuaded: "Aren't you still worried about 'the wrong door and the wrong household'?" Now that there is this one, isn't it just right? It is because no new daughter-in-law of any family will directly separate the family when she enters the door, so that the Zhou family can understand the sincerity of our family. ”

Gui Wu interjected: "Dad, mother, sister-in-law, otherwise you can go to live in the town with me, the family will be together, and when Qiu'er gets married, he will also stay with him." ”

Gui Wu had this plan before, but he didn't think about it now, after all, he had to study for the past two years, and he couldn't see his family. He originally wanted to take the exam as a child, and wanted to settle down in the town as a student, and then take his parents over to support him.

Now seeing that the Yang family is reluctant to divide his son, Gui Wu thinks that it is not impossible for the family to go directly to the town.

Second Grandpa Gui shook his head and said, "I'm not going, what's good in the town?" ”

Grandma Gui also waved her hand and said, "That's it, don't go, we've been in the village all our lives, and we don't want to move the place when we're here." It's only a dozen miles away, when you want to come back, come back and stay for a few days, don't toss us old bones. ”

Unexpectedly, the Yang family didn't even want to move, and said: "No one in the town knows anyone, and everything has to be bought for money, where can there be a comfortable life in the village?" ”

Gui Wu was quite surprised and looked at Gui Chongyang.

Gui Chongyang said: "Anyway, I will be in the village for the next two years." ”

Gui Yuan died of illness in November last year, and now it is July, only nine months have passed, and Gui Chongyang has to keep his father's filial piety for twenty-seven months, and there are still eighteen months.
