He Wanli, He Laotian, He Dagu, He Dasu, and He Wazi's family also handed over the congratulatory gifts to each family.

The daughters-in-law of several families also came, and even the widow of He Wazi also came. They were taken by Village Chief He and his own man yesterday to Gu Jinli's house to sign a contract, and now they are also from the Gu family's workshop.

In addition to a few of them, He Tieshu's family also came.

Because he didn't follow He Guangcai, they came to the door to do the work, but ran to inform the village chief He, which was considered to help the Gu family in disguise, so Gu Jinli's family recruited his daughter-in-law to work in the workshop.

So far, there are fourteen women and children grinding spices in the Gu family's workshop.

This person grinds two or three catties of spices a day, and fourteen people are about forty catties, which is still a little short of Gu Jinli's goal of fifty catties, but there is no hurry, people can recruit slowly, so as not to recruit too many people and go wrong.

"Sister-in-law of the Gu family, congratulations on the opening of your workshop." He Dagu's old lady took her two daughters-in-law, followed by the two daughters-in-law of He Laotian's family, He Wanli's daughter-in-law, He Tieshu's daughter-in-law, and He Wazi's widow, and a group of women followed the third grandmother into the right wing.

The third grandmother said a few words to them, and then took Cui's out to work.

As the time got closer and closer to the auspicious time, more and more villagers came to congratulate, almost all of them were the He family, and there were also three Lu family members who brought congratulatory gifts.

Today is a big day, and the third grandfather didn't want to make things too ugly, so he accepted their gifts, but the return gift was heavier than the congratulatory gift they brought.

Lu Gensheng was a little embarrassed for them, knowing that the third grandfather wanted to break up the relationship with them, so that they didn't think that if they gave a gift, the Lu family's harm to Qin Gu and Luo Tian's family could be written off.

"Brother Gu, then we'll go back first, you stay, you don't have to send it." Lu Gensheng was interested in them, and knew that it was impossible for this beam to be untied at one time, so after taking the return gift, he left the Gu family's workshop.

Village Chief He saw Lu Gensheng's embarrassment and loneliness in his eyes, and he was very happy in his heart, fortunately he woke up quickly, otherwise their He family would have to be like Lu Gensheng and them, watching Qin Gu and Luo Tian's family get rich and be anxious.

"Congratulations, hurry up and go home, Brother Gu's house is the opening of the workshop today, and there is no banquet." Village Chief He said to the He family who came to congratulate him. These uneasy people, in order to be able to come to the workshop to work, after giving gifts, they all rely on not leaving, what is it like.

When the He family heard this, they saw the frightening face of Village Chief He, and thought of Village Chief He's words to warn them, so they hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Not far away, behind the courtyard wall of an old mud house at the end of the village, Mrs. Mo poked her head out, saw the villagers walking back, was shocked, hurriedly retracted her head, and asked Old Man Mo, who was hiding under the courtyard wall: "Old man, the villagers are gone, has this Gu family workshop been unveiled?" Shall we still make trouble? ”

Old Man Mo frowned when he heard this, stretched out his head and looked in the direction of the Gu family's workshop, and said, "The plaque hanging on the courtyard door is still covered with red cloth, and the plaque has not been revealed, so we don't have to worry, wait." ”

"Wait? The villagers are gone, who are we going to make trouble for? ”

"Naturally, it's for Shang Xiu to see." Old Man Mo said: "Today, the Gu family's workshop opened, the Gu family girl saved Shang Xiucai's daughter, Shang Xiucai's family will definitely come, and as soon as Shang Xiucai and them come, we will go to make trouble." When the time comes, the Gu family will definitely pay our family money for the sake of face. ”

Their family will hide here, just to take advantage of the opening of the Gu family's workshop to make trouble and ask for money.

"Hmph, that dead girl in Chunyue thinks that we will have nothing to do with her if we sell ourselves to the Gu family? Since she is already a member of the Gu family, then let's go to the Gu family to sell our money, and if we don't give it to us, we will make trouble! ”

On the second day of the third lunar month, they heard that Mo Chunyue and He Sanzi sold themselves to the Gu family and got six taels of silver for selling their bodies, and their eyes were red with jealousy. He immediately asked Dali to go to He San's house to ask for money, but He Sanzi not only didn't give money, but actually beat Dali.

Chunyue's cheap girl didn't help to speak vigorously, and He Sanzi beat her father.

On the third day of the third month of March, he asked the old woman to come to the door with her two daughters-in-law, crying to Chunyue about the difficulties at home, but the dead girl was indifferent, and He San even took a firewood knife to drive the old woman and them out of the door.

They suffered losses twice, and knew that it was impossible to take money from He Sanzi and Mo Chunyue, so they could only go to the Gu family to ask for it.

But the Gu family is also a group of hard stubble, Gu Xiaoyu's stinky girl still dares to use a knife against him, but she doesn't give him face as an elder at all. After thinking about it, Old Man Mo came up with a way, and on the day of the opening of the Gu family's workshop, he brought the family to the door to cry, and the Gu family hindered the opening of the workshop, and there were many guests, so they would definitely eat this secret loss and give their family a bag of silver.

"Old woman, wait a while, you can take Dongyue and Brother Bei'er first, you don't need to enter the Gu family's workshop, just sit at the door and cry."

Dongyue and Brother Bei are the two youngest grandchildren in his family, and an old woman crying with two children will definitely make people feel distressed. Especially Master Xiucai, these scholars can't see women and children suffering, and if Shang Xiucai sees his wife crying miserably, he will give her a few ingots of silver, then his family will send it.

"Qiu Yue, you follow your milk them, don't cry, just shed tears, when Gu Jin'an comes out, you pretend to fall, throw yourself on him, and hug him in front of everyone. As long as you hug it, Gu Jinan won't be able to marry you if she wants to! ”

"The Gu family is not only rich now, Gu Jinan is also studying with Shang Xiucai, he is a student of Master Xiucai, and he will definitely be a Xiucai in the future, if you can marry him, you will be a Xiucai lady, and you don't have to worry about it in this life." Old Man Mo said excitedly.

Mo Qiuyue is twelve this year, and she has not yet reached the age of saying goodbye, but she has escaped all the way, and she understands everything. Hearing this, thinking of Gu Jin'an's Qingjun appearance, he nodded with a blushing face, and said in a low voice: "Hmm~ Don't worry, Qiuyue will not let you down." ”

"Mother's Qiu Yue, you are out of luck, you will be a talented lady in the future, and the rest of your mother's life will depend on you." Mo Dakui's daughter-in-law took Mo Qiuyue's hand, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, thinking that the idea that her father-in-law came up with was too good, and she found such a good family for her family Qiuyue at once.

"Mother~" Mo Qiuyue's face was as red as a glow, her head was lowered, she was shy, and she was already fantasizing about marrying Gu Jin'an, becoming a talented lady, or even a lady, and following Gu Jin'an in and out of the mansions of various officials.

Mo Dayong's daughter-in-law looked at Mo Dongyue, who was about to be eight years old, and felt unhappy, if only her Dongyue was a few years older.

"Daddy, stop talking, there's a mule cart coming, it looks like Shang Xiucai's family." Mo Dakui was in charge of letting go of the wind, and when he saw a team of mule carts coming towards the end of the village, he hurriedly trotted over and told Old Man Mo.

"Get down, don't squeak, when Shang Xiucai and them get out of the car to carry the congratulatory gifts, the old woman will go out with the two children." Old Man Mo explained that the thirteen members of the Mo family were all lying under the courtyard wall, waiting for Shang Xiucai's mule cart to pass.
