Mei Xiucai's face drooped, completely different from the warmth when Fang Cai faced Gui Chongyang, and cursed in a low voice: "The shaft is rude!" ”

Du Shi held the red envelope, which was also quite unexpected.

Now who doesn't know that Gui Chongyang has a windfall left by his old son, the two of them pay special attention to the Gui family's gifts, and stare at them specifically, wanting to deduct the Gui family's gift money before Mei Tongsheng checks the accounts, as for the account book, just look at it and write it.

I don't want the Gui family's gift money, it's a hundred Wen, and it's not much more than others. You must know that there are several parents of students in the next village who came to eat and drink, and there are more than 200 gifts.

Gui Chongyang's gift money, compared with his net worth of more than 600 acres of land, is really shabby.

Mei Xiucai was annoyed at this time.

Seeing this, Du Shi couldn't help but say more: "Xianggong, in the end, there is a relationship between the county lord, let's be polite in the future." Let's just say that my father-in-law's side, I heard that Gui Chongyang was embarrassed in the village school, but if Gui Chongyang really held a grudge, he couldn't say that it would be involved in Xianggong. ”

It's not that Du is timid and afraid, there is really an old saying, called "the people don't fight with the officials". is a "soil emperor" like Du Lizheng, who also obediently sells land to the Shangguan family, how can he not make the Du family afraid.

Because of the Du family's land sale, now everyone in the village knows that Gui Chongyang's unlucky old man was developed in the south during his lifetime, and he has an old relationship with the newly appointed county master.

Mei Xiucai said impatiently: "I'm not a fool, I still need you to worry about this, go out and keep an eye on it, if your father wants to be lively, it will be lively." ”

A famous Xiucai like Mei Xiucai has disdained to walk around with the villagers, and there are few who can let him show up in person to receive him, and he still needs Du Shi to bring his son Zhang Luo outside.

Du Shi hesitated: "The Li family's side, there won't be trouble in the future, right?" ”

"Hmph, trouble, what kind of face do they have! Is there a marriage certificate or what? An unchaste woman who married for the second time, does she still want to be the housewife of the Mei family? Mei Xiucai said disapprerovingly.

It turned out that it was not that the husband and wife were filial piety, but that Mei Tongsheng had another decision behind their backs, and they actually had the idea of not letting Li Huaihua be his wife but a concubine.

Concubines are not serious elders, otherwise it is difficult to say something unpleasant, when will such a young stepmother be filial. Mei Xiucai has always had a good idea, how could she be willing to have an extra layer of constraints on her head.

As for Mei Tongsheng's side, when the bride arrives at home, someone serves her life, will she still fight with her son for fame?

Only then did Du Shi feel at ease and went out to greet the guests.

In the past ten years since marrying into the Mei family, the Du family has lived enough. It's not that I haven't mentioned buying a little maid before, but the matter of three or five taels of silver, and there is also a helper in housework, but I was reprimanded by Mei Tongsheng, even if Du Shi buys people with dowry, three meals a day have to be thrown away.

Du Shi had no choice but to wash his hands and make soup, serve his in-laws on the top, and pull the children on the bottom, and after more than ten years, he was not much stronger than other peasant women. In the early years, there was still a mother-in-law, and the housework was not so heavy, and the mother-in-law passed over a few years ago.

Now that there is someone in the family, if it is a stepmother-in-law, it is naturally not the one who is good at the direction of the Du family, and it is different if the concubine is changed.

Thinking like this, Du Shi's steps were much brisker, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere. As for the matter of how much the Gui family saluted, she had already left it behind, and no matter how much, it wouldn't fall into her pocket anyway.

Where did Gui Chongyang know that because of his own courtesy, Mei Xiucai was depressed for a while, and instructed Mei Xiaoba to take Mei's house.

When the aunt and nephew passed by the old banyan tree in the village, they saw several old men wearing cotton jackets sitting under the tree basking in the sun. Since the autumn harvest, this scene has been common, but to the surprise of the other aunt and nephew, there is Gui's second grandfather among them.

Gui's second grandfather has black hair and wears a half-new jacket, and his whole spirit is different.

Seeing this, the two aunts and nephews hurriedly stepped forward, met the second grandfather of Gui first, and then greeted several other old men, among whom Grandpa Zhang and the aunt and nephew were familiar with each other, and they were not polite, and said directly: "Little San'er, you just want to honor your second grandfather and second grandmother, why did you leave your grandfather Zhang?" Now your second grandfather is like a young man, so that your grandfather Zhang is also naked! ”

Obviously, it was made by Mei's aunt and nephew's painstaking configuration and grinding, but when Mei's sent it to the second room, it was still under the banner of Gui Chongyang. She knew in her heart that even if it was a cousin's bloodline, it was only through contacts that she could get closer and closer.

Now Gui Chun and Gui Qiu brothers help Gui Chongyang take care of the land and shops, and the closer the relationship between the natural long house and the second room, the better.

As for the recipe of the black hair cream, it is not that Mei is stingy, there was no incident of Mei Xiaoba being beaten at that time, and everyone has not yet reacted to the preciousness of this recipe. Instead, Mei thought that Gui's second grandmother lived a careful life, and she was afraid that she was reluctant to go to Song's house to buy those medicinal materials, thinking that next time she would also configure it by herself. Therefore, she did not send Fang Zi to the second room.

Mei Tong dyed his hair and beard before he was born, and when the old people in the village saw it, they felt that it was strange and there were few people who wanted to follow suit, after all, the Mei family was a scholar, and there were many flowers and intestines in this scholar, and ordinary people could not learn or compare.

When Gui's second grandfather and Gui's second grandmother dyed their hair, they immediately caused many people to have red eyes.

However, after inquiring around, everyone died down. If the thing is the second room of the Gui family, there are few villagers who rely on relatives and friends to come to the door to ask for one or two; But the thing is from the Gui family's room, so it's different.

Gui Chongyang is young, but he is also a landlord. Historically, only tenants gave gifts to landlords, and I have never heard of any tenants who could ask landlords for things.

In addition, the two families who offended the Gui family's house before were all quit, which also made people mutter, and they didn't dare to offend Gui Chongyang easily.

But in Grandpa Zhang's place, if you don't care about the Gui family, you don't have so many scruples.

The old man is a person who understands, and he knows that there is a big gap between the rich and the poor between the two families, and he does not let his son and daughter-in-law mention the matter of marriage, but he does not mean that the Gui family will be far away because the Gui family is rich, and they still get along as before.

With the character of the old man, and the help of the old and young masters of the Zhang family to the Gui family in the past ten years, how can Gui Chongyang be disrespectful.

After listening to Grandpa Zhang's begging words, Gui Chongyang immediately said happily: "I'll send it to you when I turn around!" ”

Grandpa Zhang hesitated and said, "If it's too expensive, forget it?" ”

Gui Chongyang said with a smile: "It's nothing, just let Chongyang honor Grandpa Zhang once." ”

"Haha! Okay, I'll wait for that old man, and Ming'er will be a young man! Grandpa Zhang has a straightforward temperament, and he is not verbose, and immediately smiled.

Even if there are elders in their fifties and sixties in front of them, Mei's is not good to stay for long, after saying these two sentences, Gui Chongyang and Mei's left.

The aunt and nephew did not go home directly, but directly to the Song family.

Since he agreed to Grandpa Zhang's black hair ointment, he had to buy several herbs for the envoy.

Mrs. Song is the matchmaker of the Mei family, and she is eating and drinking at the Mei family, and she is not at home.

Doctor Song let the aunt and nephew into the courtyard, and according to the requirements, took out several herbs.
