Chapter 186: Help my brother pinch peach blossoms
Village Chief He knew that the Mo family was the whole family here, but when he saw a dozen members of their family coming from the courtyard of the old dirt house, he was still so angry that he almost scolded.
Who is this family?!
"Village, village chief." After the Mo family came to Village Chief He, Mo vigorously negotiated with Village Chief He, and Old Man Mo had no face to speak.
Village Chief He didn't talk nonsense with them, and said directly to Old Man Mo: "Five taels of silver, take five taels of silver, and the matter of your second granddaughter will be over." ”
"Why do you want our family to give five taels of silver? It's Qiuyue who suffers! Mo Dakui's daughter-in-law was angry, looking at her fainting daughter, thinking about the loss her daughter had suffered, she was so angry that she burst into tears.
Her family Qiuyue is going to marry Gu Jinan to be a talented lady, and now because of He San's leprosy, the matter of marrying Gu Jin'an is considered yellow, and her reputation is also bad, their Mo family hasn't settled accounts with He San'an, how can they still give money?
"Don't give? Yes. Village Chief He said to He San's leper: "Today is a good day, it is advisable to get married, you can take the second granddaughter of the Mo family home now." ”
"Eh, thank you, village chief." He San rubbed his hands, walked towards Mo Qiuyue who fainted with a look of impatience, and frightened Mo Dakui's daughter-in-law so much that she pounced directly on Mo Qiuyue, and said to Village Chief He: "Give it, give it to our family!" ”
Their family is not as poor as it seems on the surface, five taels of silver, there are still some.
Her father-in-law is smart, he has always hidden private money and has not taken it out, and the food and drink at home, including some expenses on the way to escape from the famine, are all picked by Mo Kuizi's family, and it is Mo Kuizi's family who is really so poor that they can't open the pot.
When Old Man Mo heard Mo Dakui's daughter-in-law's words, he was so angry that he almost wanted to strangle her, but today's face was really embarrassing enough, and there were four villagers standing around who were watching the excitement, Old Man Mo didn't want to lose face anymore, trembling his hands, took out a small purse from the inner pocket of his clothes, took out five taels of silver, and handed it to Mo Dakui next to him.
Mo Dakui hurriedly took the silver and took it to Village Chief He.
Village Chief He took the silver, waved his hand, and said impatiently to the Mo family: "Hurry up and go home, I will be sad when I see you." Remember today's lesson, and then there will be a next time, but it is not a matter that can be ended with a fine. ”
The Mo family suffered a big loss and lost a big face, where did they dare to stay here longer, seeing the village chief release him, Old Man Mo immediately turned around and left.
Mo Dayong and his wife pulled their own Mo Dongyue, took their eldest son Mo Xiangxi, and left quickly with Old Man Mo.
Mo Dali glared at Mo Chunyue, angry that she didn't help her family, but Mo Chunyue snorted coldly, don't look around, and don't pay attention to him at all. Mo Dali was very strong, and because of the presence of Village Chief He, he didn't dare to scold Mo Chunyue, so he could only turn around and leave.
Mrs. Mo and Mo Dakui's daughter-in-law lifted Mo Qiuyue, who had fainted, and Mo Dakui took Mo Xiangbei and Mo Xiangnan and left in a gloomy manner.
Village Chief He said to Gu Jinli: "Xiao Yu, don't worry, with today's lesson, their family will not dare to come to your family for trouble." ”
As he spoke, he handed her the five taels of silver in his hand.
Gu Jinli didn't ask for it: "It's not easy for my family to take this silver, so leave it to the village head for the village." ”
Seeing that she didn't accept it, Village Chief He put away the silver and said to He Sixteen, who was carrying the gift: "There are guests from the Gu family's workshop, you send the congratulatory gifts, and go back after taking the bean cakes, the Gu family will not forget your intentions." ”
County Lieutenant Jiang came in person, and he didn't want the villagers to be blind and disturb the county lieutenant.
He Sixteen said: "The village chief can rest assured, we are all measured people, and we will return as soon as the congratulatory gifts are delivered." ”
He beckoned to those carrying the congratulatory gifts, and said, "Hurry up, follow me to deliver the congratulatory gifts, we have to go to work after the gifts." ”
"Huh." The other three villagers immediately followed He Sixteen.
He Sixteen is one of the few people in the He family who has some family background, and he does a hard-working job, and he leads people to find stones.
Stone is an important thing in ancient times, and it is used to make grinding discs and build houses.
He Sixteen was able to make a fortune when he found a strange stone when he was young, and was seen by a rich man, who bought it for a hundred taels of silver. At that time, He Sixteen was frightened and stupid, he kept the stone just because he thought it was good-looking, and he was reluctant to throw it, but he didn't think about it, but he made a lot of money.
He Sixteen later learned that the rich people in Fucheng liked to put some strange stones in their study or courtyard, and the strange stones were much more valuable than large stones.
Over the years, He Sixteen has been looking for large stones to sell to stone workshops, and at the same time looking for strange stones, wanting to make a lot of money. But people's luck is only once in a lifetime, when it is used up, it is gone, so many years have passed, he has not encountered strange stones again, and has been taking his brothers and cousins to find stones.
Now that I'm older, it's a little unbearable to do this terrible job, so I want to find some safe work for my family, so I came to Gujia's workshop to give gifts.
Village Chief He and the others also followed towards the Gu family's workshop.
Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinli walked last, and the group returned to the workshop after a short time.
Gu Jin'an hurriedly greeted him, and after saying hello to Village Chief He, he came to Gu Jin's interior and asked her, "Xiaoyu, what about the Mo family?" ”
Gu Jinli looked at Gu Jin'an and smiled gloatingly: "Big brother, it's spring, your peach blossoms are in full bloom, but the peach blossoms are too bad, I'll help you pinch them." ”
Gu Jin'an was smart, he only frowned for a while, and then he understood what Gu Jinli was talking about, his face was flushed, and he was angry: "The Mo family really doesn't know what to say!" ”
No wonder Mo Qiuyue would frequently look at him, it turned out that he had such an idea, it was really ...... He felt sick to think about.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyu, the eldest brother will pay attention in the future and watch out for it." Although Gu Jinan is already fifteen, he does not plan to get married so early, but wants to study hard for a few years, hurry up to take the exam before coming out, and wait until after twenty to consider marriage.
Due to the madness of the previous dynasty, many literati in Dachu got married late, and some started a family in their thirties.
As he spoke, there was a sound of mule carts behind him, Gu Jinli looked back and saw that it was Zhu Yu, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Uncle Zhu Yu, you are here." ”
"Eh, it's coming, it's not too late, is it?" Zhu Yu stopped the mule cart, and Dr. Wu got off the mule cart with Dr. Du, Du Xusheng, and Du Lilac.
Gu Jinli said with a smile: "It's not too late, our workshop hasn't unveiled the plaque yet." ”
"It's not too late, if you miss the auspicious time of your family, the old man will be a sinner." Doctor Wu said.
Gu Dashan heard Doctor Wu's voice and hurriedly greeted him: "Doctor Wu, Doctor Du, you are here, please come in, the big guys are waiting for you." ”
"Here it is." Doctor Wu said to Zhu Yu: "Bring down the congratulatory gifts in the car, and let's go into the house." ”
"Okay." Zhu Yu responded, moved down two baskets with red paper, and carried them into the house with a flat pole.
Gu Jinli was overjoyed when he saw the things in the basket: "Grandpa Wu, this congratulatory gift from you really solves our urgent need." ”
