The so-called "secret marriage" is naturally a bureau done by Gui Wu, in order to avoid future troubles, so that the Li family will treat Li Taoer as if Li Taoer was taken away by the passengers.

In fact, Li Taoer was brought to the boat by Wang Er, not as the fiancée of the shipper's son who died young, but because of the household registration of the shippasser's daughter who died young. Then Gui Wu came forward, signed an "adoption" document with the boat passenger, and transferred the household in the Yamen.

Li Taoer's household registration fell directly under Gui Wu's name and became Gui Wu's adopted daughter, but she was directly received to the Jiang family.

Naturally, before this, Gui Wu told Mrs. Jiang about Li Tao'er and entrusted Li Tao'er to Mrs. Jiang.

Before Mrs. Jiang saw anyone, she was still muttering in her heart, wondering if her daughter and son-in-law had other plans, and bought someone who planned to "borrow her belly to have a child". There are really two kinds of "adopted daughters" among the people, one is the real adopted daughter, and the other is the adopted maid.

"There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great", not to mention that the Gui family after an accident more than ten years ago, the male is thin, and the five uncles and brothers of Gui are two heirs, and it is reasonable for the old couple to look forward to the spread of Gui Wu.

When she saw Li Tao'er, Mrs. Jiang knew that she had misunderstood. I have never seen such a black girl again, looking thin and small, saying that she is twelve years old, not as old as a ten-year-old child, Gui Wu said that this girl is the same generation as Chongyang, and let Mrs. Jiang be treated as a granddaughter.

Mrs. Jiang gave birth to four daughters, and raised Gui Wu halfway, but she never brought a grandchild, and she also brought a bit of novelty, only saying that she was a distant niece and granddaughter, her parents died, and her household registration fell under the name of the fourth daughter, so she was really treated as a granddaughter.

Master Jiang had a lot of complaints, but seeing that his wife was interested, he also acquiesced.

The identity has changed, and the name Li Taoer can't be used, so Mrs. Jiang gave Li Taoer a new name, called Sister Jiang Ping, hoping that she will have a safe and smooth life in the future.

I don't know if it's because of the name, or Mrs. Jiang's kindness, which touched Sister Jiang Ping. With the opening of this name, Sister Jiang Ping restrained her previous vigilance and gloom, and her temperament became clearer and clearer.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

only said that Gui Chongyang had done this important thing, and he was finally relieved.

Whether it is the Hong family or the "secret marriage", if it weren't for the interference of the Gui family's uncles and nephews, it might be what Li Taoer faced.

Now Li Taoer has become Sister Jiang Ping, and she has solved Li Taoer's tragic fate from the root.

Li Facai thought that he secretly "sold his niece" and would not be known to others, but in fact, not long after Li Taoer was taken away, it was rumored in Mujia Village that Li Facai sold Li Taoer for 20 taels of silver to "underworld marriage".

When the people in the village heard this, they became more and more respectful of the Li family. Even if they sell Li Taoer to a private kiln, everyone can only say that they are greedy for money, but what is the difference between selling it as a "ghost marriage" and directly killing Li Taoer.

is to raise a dog, and after raising it for more than ten years, the Li family's ruthlessness scared the villagers of Mujia Village.

The Li family's clansmen are even more talking behind their backs.

Li Taoer's bloodline is suspicious, but Mrs. Li and Qian talk to themselves, and the so-called "adulterer" does not even have a shadow. In addition, Mrs. Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have never been strict-mouthed, but they have been able to "hide" secrets for more than ten years, if you think about it carefully, they are all suspicious.

Thinking about it now, it is clear that the Li family wants to sell their niece smoothly, so they have this statement; Otherwise, according to the villagers' guesses, Li Taoer is Du Lizheng's illegitimate daughter, how can she let Li Facai sell her marriage?

Because of Li Facai's sale of his niece, Li Facai's reputation has become stinky again. On the contrary, it was Du Lizheng's side, who had inexplicably become an "adulterer" before, and now he had inexplicably washed away his stigma. From the beginning to the end, Du Rizheng didn't know about it.

The Li family got twenty taels of silver, but they didn't as Mrs. Li thought, and successfully set up a family affair for the eldest grandson. Even if the Li family originally intended to give a bride price of eight taels of silver, no one dared to tell the girl to their family.

Mrs. Li was half angry and didn't reflect on her own shortcomings, but felt that Mrs. Song was not satisfied, and she mentioned a little rooster of the Song family before, which made Mrs. Song also annoyed, and she couldn't be the matchmaker of the Li family, so she asked the Li family to ask Gao Ming.

Mrs. Li didn't take it to heart, eight taels of silver can't say that a good girl, then eighteen taels of silver. If you have money, you are afraid that you will not be able to marry your granddaughter-in-law, and you are not afraid of being late for a good meal.

Not to mention the various unhappiness of the Li family, the house on this side of the Gui family's old mansion was finally completed after a month and a half of construction, and now it is waiting for the inside and outside to dry out, and then you can enter the furniture.

Because the carpentry work used before was good, Gui Chongyang didn't bother the two masters, and bought a cart of pine wood to come to the house, in addition to the new furniture needed by the Gui family's old house, the remaining wood was just right to prepare Mei Duo's dowry.

The same is furniture, the wedding furniture should be more elaborate and more carved, so it is better to prepare in advance.

It's already mid-July, and it's only half a year before Mei Duo and Lu.

Mei wanted to give the silver to Gui Chongyang, but Gui Chongyang refused to accept it, and made a "division of labor" with Mei, Mei was responsible for Mei Duo's clothes and quilts, etc., and he was responsible for this set of furniture.

Mei knew that Gui Chongyang was not short of these taels of silver, and when he saw that he didn't say anything else, he nodded in response.

Halfway through July, there is a temperature difference between morning and evening, and another month is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Gui Wu said to the old couple that the town had a house, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he took the Jiang family to live in the town. Jiang's body is not needed, and he has to consult a doctor every autumn and winter, which is more convenient in the town. What's more, Gui Wu will take the children's exam in February next year, and there are still teachers and classmates in the town to study

Although the old couple didn't have much intention in their hearts, they had mentioned this matter as early as when Gui Wu came back, and there was no reason to stop it.

When Gui Wu first arrived at home, he gave Gui Er's grandmother fifty taels of silver, and Gui's second grandmother gave Mei's eight taels as a dowry, and exchanged one tael of silver for the Yang family's family, leaving forty-one taels. The old lady took it all out and stuffed it into Gui Wu, so that he could stay in the town and use it.

The husband and wife have no livelihood, they sit and eat, and studying is a costly thing, and Gui's second grandmother is worried.

Gui Wu refused to accept it, and said: "Mother, don't worry, in addition to the small courtyard where you live, my son also set up a small shop, and let him go out to collect rent and have a monthly income, which is enough to chew." This money is kept at home, and the home will be more spacious in the future, so you don't have to be so frugal. ”

When Grandma Gui heard this, not only did she not rest assured, but said with a sad face: "Son, you can't be a man without conscience, don't talk about the fifty taels before, how much silver does this yard and a shop get?" Even if you work as a shopkeeper in your father-in-law's teahouse and have silver every year, shouldn't you have so much left? Did you take something you shouldn't have? It can't be like that! ”

is like Mrs. Li, who not only guards her own family, but also can't wait to bring other people's family to her own; There are also Gui Er's grandmothers like this, who are not practical when they take advantage, and they are poor and rich and only want to live their own small lives.

Gui Wudao: "Don't worry, this is a share of the transaction between me and my friends, and I get dividends." The father-in-law and mother-in-law also know about this and will not be misunderstood. ”

Second Grandma Gui was relieved, hesitated for a moment, and said, "On Chongyang's side, you can't always follow him." That kid has a big heart, you are an uncle, you should discipline and discipline a few words. ”

Gui Wu nodded in response.

The next day, Gui Wu went to the town, and Gui Chongyang went with him.

Gui Wu bought two adjacent small courtyard houses in the town, and also bought three small shops in different locations at the wharf, all of which were bought from one property. There is an old shopkeeper who has accumulated these all his life, and he doesn't want his son to be a loser, Lao Tzu has been dead for less than three years and owes a lot of gambling debts, so he can only sell the property.

The two courtyards are all the same pattern, with three positive four compartments and seven rooms, because they dig their own wells, and the price is not low. The set of 50 taels for a slightly older year, and the set of 60 taels built later. In the end, in the town, the money for one house can build two or three sets in the village.

There is a small door in the middle of the two courtyards, and when it is opened, there is one, and when it is closed, there are two.

Gui Chongyang looked at it and was very satisfied, but politely rejected Gui Wu's kindness to give him the slightly new set, and said: "I haven't come to the town to live permanently in the past few years, and I can only come up before the Chinese New Year, and the new house has become an old house, so there is no need." It's still the fifth uncle and five aunts who cleaned up that set, and the other set had to be cleaned up a little bit by looking for someone, just clean up. In the future, when the second grandmother and second grandfather come to town, they will live there directly......"
