Chapter 349: Drill the Horns
Guo Mianmian loves to listen to this, her eyes looked secretly, and after confirming that there was no one, she stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed her husband on the lips, and said sweetly: "Thank you!" β
After tasting it, Mu Shi and others were even more confused by Guo Mianmian's thinking, and they had more faith in the direction of their own workshop in the future.
"Mianmian, if you marry Rin, you are a member of the Zheng family, this flower and wine is something you figured out, and you will hide the secret recipe yourself. When you can take it out to earn money in the future, the money will all belong to you. Pulling his daughter to the room to avoid the rest of the people, Mu Shi said what he thought.
She said this out of two considerations, one is that she is afraid that her family will take such a big advantage and make her in-laws feel uncomfortable, and the other is that her family knows her own family affairs.
He was a small farmer, and he had a young son who could read, and no one knew how far he could go. When her youngest son couldn't be alone and supported her sister, she didn't want to use flowers and wine to earn money.
"Mother, this flower wine is also made by my blind cat when he meets a dead mouse, while the flower sauce business is just right, when our family's flower field can be used, this flower wine will naturally be used to make money. How to earn it is a headache for the second brother, how can I take it all. Guo Mianmian didn't think about it so much, she just thought that the old lady didn't want to take advantage of herself.
"Impossible, you know the method of making wine, our family can become a solid family in these ten miles and eight townships, thanks to the flower sauce you made, that is, the more than 100 acres of flower fields are also your labor, and you deserve to sell the wine with the flowers in the flower field."
Mu is strong and different, in her eyes, children and offspring are the same, nothing to do with the daughter who marries out of the mother's family to give her brothers and sisters a lot of wealth, it is good to be able to pull it out when they are down, so as not to raise a group of moths. Besides, there is a workshop, and there is a large amount of income every year by relying on flower sauce, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this family is a blessed nest.
"This ...... Mother, I'll talk about this later, it's too early to make money with flowers and wine! Knowing the nature of the old lady, Guo Mianmian didn't insist anymore, the big deal was to avoid her father and mother when the time came, and discuss it with the rest.
After thinking about the idea, Guo Mianmian opened the topic and talked about Yueniang's marriage: "Yueniang will be filial piety in five more years, is there any movement on Aunt Zheng's side?" β
Mu Shi was really diverted from paying attention, and a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, it wasn't Duanyang a while ago, and your Aunt Zheng sent a lot of zongzi over." β
The two families have not yet been officially engaged, and the Zheng family can't run to give gifts in vain, so as not to add branches and leaves to make people talk. This zongzi is different, people with a good relationship can send it, and the Zheng family can send zongzi to make people know that there is also a way to say.
, the Zheng family sent zongzi to the Guo family, which was a vague comment that they still liked this marriage, and they only waited for Yueniang to come to the door to propose marriage. At that time, the Guo family also used their own zongzi as a return gift, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence to this quasi-marriage. If there is no such movement, it is good to simply return the zongzi sent by the Zheng family as it is, and this will not hurt the harmony.
"The Zheng family has a heart, but fortunately, Yueniang also likes Zheng Cong and didn't let that kid wait in vain." Guo Mianmian is very porridge This result, about these two people have no particularly deep emotions, they are happy to test and pay, than those blind marriages and dumb marriages just to get together to live in the world.
The smile on Mu's face gradually disappeared, and he expressed his concerns that he had never mentioned to the rest: "Zheng Cong, this child, I look at it and have a lot of porridge, and Yueniang's maid is also interested in him, but Zheng Cong is a scholar, or a child, if this marriage is completed, Yueniang can be regarded as attached." If Zheng Cong passes the test next year and leads to Xiucaigong, I am afraid that the Zheng family will have some thoughts. β
When Mu said this, Guo Mianmian also felt sorrow in his heart.
The popularity of the people is unpredictable, if Zheng Cong really becomes a showman, the limitations of screening a wife or even a wife who is a good person will be much greater. If Zheng Cong wants to continue to climb up, it is not impossible to leave Yueniang and find a helpful Yue family.
Taking a step back, even if Zheng Cong has a deep affection for Yueniang, he won't do this, what about the rest of the Zheng family's people who have high hopes for him? Can he also compete with one person, against a group of people related to his strengths?
Thinking so in his heart, Guo Mianmian didn't show it on his face, and comforted Mu Shi: "Mother, Zheng Cong's kid is not that kind of person, if you are still not at ease, wait for the results of his test to come out, and then see if you want to get married." β
This is a very safe method, lest the two families get engaged, Zheng Cong turned his face and didn't recognize people after he showed his talents, and it would not have much impact on him at that time, and it would be a devastating blow to Yueniang. I am afraid that the Zheng family will not wait enough, and it is inevitable that Yueniang will get engaged after her filial piety.
Mu Shi and Guo Mianmian had the same thoughts and concerns, so they shook their heads and said: "Let's take a look first, when Yueniang is filial, let's have a good chat with the Zheng family, if they can give our family a guarantee, guarantee that Zheng Cong will not do anything sorry for Yueniang, this marriage will be decided." β
Guo Mianmian nodded, and couldn't think of a better way for a while.
Lying in her husband's arms at night, Guo Mianmian mentioned this matter to him.
Zheng Rin kissed her forehead and said with a smile: "Not all men have a utilitarian heart, Zheng Cong's kid is still pure-hearted, he shouldn't be able to do that kind of thing, as for the rest...... That kid has the right idea, and you won't find out about the part-time job you are worried about with your mother-in-law. β
Guo Mianmian didn't know what he thought, he poked the man's chest incomprehensibly, and said sullenly: "Things gather like people in groups, you are not that kind of person, and the colleagues around you are not interested in fame and fortune, so you will think that countless men are like this." β
Hearing that his wife's emotions were not quite right, Zheng Rin's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked casually: "Could it be that Ye'er has met such a person who is greedy for money and profit and lets go of his wife?" β
"That's a natural ......" Guo Mianmian did not defend it, and opened his mouth. When she realized that she seemed to have said something she shouldn't have said, her heart suddenly tightened, and she calmly covered it up: "Isn't it geometry that is sung in the play?" In the past, when she was in the capital, there was a little sister's fiancΓ© who climbed the high branch and married her right, so that she almost died. β
In the dark, the man was silent for a while, and when Guo Mianmian was panicking, a slightly cold big hand covered her back and rubbed it gently: "That's the case...... That's fine, otherwise ......"
The man didn't say the words on the back.
was very gentle in the voice, but Guo Mianmian's heart was beating when she heard it, and she wanted to ask the man, "What would happen otherwise", but she didn't have the courage to ask. She always thought that if she asked, some part-time jobs would become uncontrollable, so she confessed and asked.
The two of them, who had their own thoughts, avoided mentioning sensitive topics casually, but this night, they didn't sleep smoothly.
Flower wine cannot be brewed in batches temporarily, so Guo Mianmian took advantage of the fact that there were still enough fresh flowers to experiment, so he further improved the rose wine and studied new flower wine.
It is about the reason for knowing the habits of each flower, there is a successful experiment of rose wine first, and the experimental process of several kinds of flower wine on the back is very smooth, and six or seven kinds of flower wine such as peach blossom wine, magnolia wine, and peony flower wine have been successfully brewed one after another.
There is still room for improvement in these kinds of flowers and wines, and after the flowering period, Guo Mianmian has no fresh flowers to improve, so he can only figure it out when the flowers bloom in the spring of the next year.
Time passed in a long way, and after two months of waiting, one day in July, the Guo family finally received a codex from the capital.
The Guo family received Guo Lin's letter, Guo Shu immediately came to Zheng's house to take Guo Mianmian back, who let the literate people in the family not return, and no one in the house could read the codex that was so hard to come!
"Father, mother, the second brother wrote a safety letter, and he and his second sister-in-law have someone to take care of, so you don't have to worry." Guo Mianmian unfolded the codex and dabbled in it quickly, and then roughly said the content, so that the father and mother who stretched their necks could rest assured, and then they read it carefully from the beginning to the end.
The content of the codex is very long, there are more than a dozen pages in a row, and a lot of nonsense is what Guo Lin and his wife have seen and heard along the way and the tongue of the prosperity of the capital, and only later did they get down to business. Guo Lin understood very few words, such a long letter, at first glance, someone wrote it on his behalf.
Looking at the handwriting that was not sloppy from the beginning to the end, and even a little elegant, Guo Mianmian silently took pity on the ghostwriter, and didn't know if the ghostwriting fee of a few pennies could make money back from the spent text paper.
Knowing that everything was fine with his son and wife, Mu's expression relaxed, but he complained: "There are so many stinky and long empty words, and what should be said is dismissed, it is really disgusting to death." When he returns, see how I cut him! β
Guo honestly comforted: "The second and second wife wrote a letter to return as soon as they arrived in the capital, and I am afraid that some things are not clear to me, what can I say?" β
"Yes, yes, Dad is right! Mother, don't worry, the second child will definitely return again in a few days, and you won't know when the time comes? Guo Shu also followed the persuasion, and he was a little anxious in his heart, but he hoped that his younger brother could take care of his illness.
"Okay, okay, I know, when that kid returns, I won't do anything to him." Mu just casually complained a few words, and was comforted by her husband's eldest son, and there was nothing left.
After thinking about it, Mu Shi reminded the family again: "By the way, don't talk nonsense outside, if someone asks the second and second wife what they are doing, you will say that our family's business should be done outside, and they are going to do business." β
Since the outbreak of Wen's slander against Guo Lin, Guo Lin's infertility has been spread out, and many people have laughed at Guo Lin and the Guo family behind their backs. There are even people who viciously slander, saying that Guo Lin is not a desperate family without a son, so he can be regarded as having the ability to earn more silver, and finally fell into the hands of Guo Shu and Guo Yu brothers, and jokingly proposed to let Guo Lin succeed Guo Boss or the children of Guo Laosan's family, so as not to die in the future and no one will fall into the pot, and the family goods will be cheaper for outsiders.
It sounds like he is not convinced by Guo Lin, but in fact, any idea can be thought of by a fool. If it weren't for the good mood of the three brothers, Guo Lin himself would not have drilled the horns, and it would be difficult to protect this brother if he changed someone, which would make the family restless.
These bad words made the Guo family very angry, and it was not easy for them to stand up and refute the rumors. It wasn't until one time that Mu Shi caught a few long-tongued women who had gathered together to slander, and rode on the threshold of each house with knives and cutting boards to scold, that those bad words gradually stopped.
This time, Guo Lin and his wife went to the capital to see a doctor, and they were optimistic that everything was fine, in case it was not good, and let outsiders know, I was afraid that it would set off an unwanted storm again, and Mu didn't want to do it.
"Mother, you put your heart in your stomach, and our family's family affairs have not been told to outsiders." Yu was the first to stand up and express his attitude, and his demeanor was very sincere.
There are three brothers in the Guo family, and at present, only the two members of the Yu family have two sons and one daughter. Knowing that Guo Lin was like that before, the Yu family was worried that the second elder of the Guo family would pass on Xiaojiang or Xiaoshan to Guo Lin.
