Chapter 34 Hearing the funeral, I came to mourn and talked about the dowry
The light is not white, and the people who are shaking are suffocating.
After Gu Weijun came back, the Gu family had a backbone again, and it was functioning normally, and the first thing was the funeral of the young grandmother.
The sparse and simple carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Gu's house.
"Class master, it's here."
In the car, Yuan Guifeng opened the curtain and saw that white flowers had been hung in front of Gu's house, and they were replaced with white paper lanterns, knowing that they had returned.
Although Gu Weijun had already dealt with it as low-key as possible, picking up Wang's corpse was also quietly arranged at night, and he couldn't help but inquire about the news.
Yuan Guifeng was about to go down, but he still overestimated himself.
Suddenly dizzy, his hand that was originally on the side of the canopy was tightly clasped, and the back of his hand and the heel joint were a little white, and it took a while to ease up, and he was able to slowly let go and get out of the car.
A few more people came out to set it up, and then he settled down again, stepped forward evenly, and resumed his old occupation to greet him with a smile.
"A few little brothers."
"Yo, isn't this the Yuan class master?"
Because Yuan Guifeng was not a famous actor, he was often called to sing, and he had become a regular visitor in and out, and the Gu Mansion naturally knew it.
"The young shopkeeper called you to come to the church meeting?"
"No, no, of course, if there is a need for a young shopkeeper, it is also incumbent!"
"There is no need for a singing meeting, after all, the death of my sister-in-law is not very glorious for our Gu family."
Gu Weijun was taking Chang Gui out of the house and rushed to deal with the affairs of the pawnshop that had been piled up for many days, and met Yuan Guifeng, who came to the door to offer condolences.
"If you are a shopkeeper, this is biased, not to mention that the death of the young grandmother is so strange at the moment, and the old saying is not to talk about the rights and wrongs of the dead. The light is not glorious, and the young shopkeeper always has to call a sister-in-law, right? ”
Gu Weijun walked down the steps, getting closer, and his face was a little playful.
"Class Master Yuan has a lot to say today, it's unusual."
Yuan Guifeng realized that he was too speechless, so he hurriedly lowered his head in a panic, his eyes dodging.
"Yuan Mu just thanked the young grandmother for her usual life, and said two fair words."
"Regardless of whether it is fair or unfair for the time being, I still hope that Boss Yuan will be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, and he must not speak arbitrarily."
"The less shopkeeper is a lesson."
Yuan Guifeng lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, only bowing his chin and bowing to compensate for it, and this remark was his overstepping.
Gu Weijun glanced at him disdainfully, and noticed that the acacia bean red rope he inadvertently revealed on his wrist was the same as the one she had been holding in her hand when she came back.
His eyes darkened, and he looked at Yuan Guifeng a few times, but he didn't stop, just hung the person in front of the door.
Seeing that he was not treated well by the young shopkeeper, the rest of the people scattered, treating him as air, and each of them was busy with the words in his hand.
"Heh, what is lower than the ninth rate is what is lower than the ninth rate."
After waiting for a long time, Yuan Guifeng straightened his waist, laughed at himself, and boarded the carriage to return with a sneer.
No light and shadow, no birdsong.
The light car shook so badly that he only felt more uncomfortable, and his stomach was tumbling.
In addition to the stomach, there is also his heart that has been smoothed and grounded, thinking that it will never make waves again.
The indulgence and depravity of his youth, who was desperate for everything, did not want the consequences, the cowardly compromise he had been running away from, the source of his fear, suddenly disappeared all at once, and he felt an endless emptiness instead.
"Parking! Stop the car! ”
He stumbled and almost fell out of the car, to a ditch, and vomited freely.
Before he came, he obviously didn't eat anything, but he drank a lot of wine, and his stomach was empty, and all he spit out was wine and the gastric juice in his throat.
"Class master, class master, are you alright, class master?"
The driver had never seen Yuan Guifeng like this, and he honestly had no master, so he could only stand not far away and watch.
Yuan Guifeng vomited for a while, and when he felt better, he waved his hand and said weakly.
"I brought you out because I think the whole troupe, your mouth is the strictest. Don't leak a word about this today, understand? ”
"Understood, understood!"
The driver nodded again and again.
Yuan Guifeng stood up well, and also had a handkerchief to wipe it, he felt better, and then set off again.
Perhaps, what he vomited was not those wines, but the humiliation and anxiety he had suffered over the years.
The recovery of Wang's body came so smoothly, but it became a heart disease that Gu Weijun couldn't figure out.
When Tong Huaixin saw the two of them, he didn't ask about the relationship with Bishan Cottage, nor did he study the account books in detail, but only said a word of mourning and change, and there was no follow-up, until they left the mansion and did not say a word, it was really not like his noisy character who usually broke the casserole and asked the end.
Let himself not be able to figure out the things that are not under his control, Gu Weijun will subconsciously be afraid and uneasy, and he will always worry.
Wake the spirit, raise the coffin, carry the coffin, scatter paper money, cry the spirit, and bury.
Although everything is simple, but after all, it is also a big family with a head and a face, and the procedures that should be completed have to be completed, but poor Qiao'er, a girl of thirteen or fourteen, knelt under the ever-bright lamp and kept vigil all night.
Before dawn, the chickens did not crow, and they were going to be at the forefront of the funeral.
A pinch of loess gradually covered the coffin, and everyone stood in the pit and watched silently, and Xiuyun Yan'er continued to sprinkle paper money ingots into it.
Qiao Jinxin encircled Qiao'er in her arms from behind, worried that she would not be able to bear it at a young age, and she would cry again.
But Qiao'er looked at her with a serious face with an expressionless face the whole time, and she was calm as if it had nothing to do with it.
Overnight, she seemed to have matured a lot. Qiao Jinxin didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
She could only pray to God that there would be no more misfortune to befall this little girl.
It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.
Her fundamental dilemma still exists.
Just a few days after Wang's burial, someone shouted at the door.
At that time, Gu Weijun was teaching Qiao Jinxin to read the account books, and he also took the position of his sister-in-law and managed the backyard well.
"Shopkeeper Li's!"
Gu Weijun went to the middle hall and greeted him politely.
"Where's Master Gu?"
Shopkeeper Li is menacing and unwilling to talk to juniors.
"Oh, Dad, his old man is unwell, what's the matter, you can find your little nephew."
So far, Gu Weijun is still angry.
"Heh, when I collected the money, I was happy to collect it in person, and when something happened, I pretended that I was unwell, what is the reason?"
"Besides, you have accepted the letter of appointment and marriage, but now that something like this has happened, how will our Li family end?"
"Then, according to the meaning of Shopkeeper Li, what should I do?"
First of all, it is necessary to find out his intentions.
It's his turn to make a request, and this shopkeeper Li is not ambiguous at all.
With his head held high, he completely lost the usual style of stammering with the Gu family and the old man Gu's licking dog.
"I accepted the previous dowry, and it was also the sincerity of our Li family, but there is still this silk shop for the 100,000 taels behind it, with all due respect, this Miss Sun's doesn't seem to be worth the price, right?"
"Whether it's worth the price or not, it has nothing to do with you, we don't marry the family!"
Qiao Jinxin came out of the shadows, her face was very stinky, she hated this style of treating marriage as a business the most, what she said was that Qiao'er was now dropping the price, and she wanted to talk about the price again.
is still in this stall, and he is afraid that his family will suffer a loss, which is really cheap.
"Divorce? Are you the one who lost this person? Ah, the little shopkeeper, I see that after Miss Sun made such a fuss, who else in Quanxing County dared to ask for it, that is, I Li Dongfu was kind-hearted, and I thought that I should help or help. ”
Shopkeeper Li's leisurely demeanor was settled, but he was circling around in the stop as if he was in his own home, this touching, that picking up and knocking, and seeing.
"You!"
Gu Weijun grabbed the impulsive Qiao Jinxin, shook his head at her and asked her to step aside, while he swayed to the side of the shopkeeper Li, and reminded with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Li, don't do anything desperately, if you really tear your face, think about the consequences yourself."
"If you fall into the well, you have to look at the people who put the dishes, don't you say?"
"That's it, we recognize the marriage, but what you promised in public, isn't it a little unauthentic not to count? Let's take a step back, let's operate the silk village together, and the profit harvest will be half of each, how about it? ”
Shopkeeper Li's eyebrows and beard moved, his eyes flashed, he weighed the pros and cons, and finally reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"Hey, hey,"
came to this trip, and after a few tricks openly and secretly, he felt that this young shopkeeper was not a character to be messed with, and suddenly changed his face, and became the previous flattery.
"The tiger father has no dogs, and the young shopkeeper also has the demeanor of Gu Laozi who wanted to dominate the business world back then!"
The shopkeeper laughed.
Gu Weijun didn't smile, but just threw Qiao Jinxin's wrist secretly, otherwise she would have taken action.
"If there is nothing else, the shopkeeper Li will not send it, and if there are important things, I will not keep you."
"It's okay or not, then don't bother, about Nacai, the specific date of marriage will wait for the next time, and then prepare to come to the door to discuss!"
"Definitely, definitely! Chang Gui hurry up and send it! ”
"Yes!"
Gu Weijun snorted, feeling that he was about to lose control of Qiao Jinxin, who was rioting.
"Why are you holding on to me?"
Seeing people walking away, Qiao Jinxin finally complained.
Gu Weijun finally let go of her and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, there has been progress, and this time there is no unobtrusion."
"Yes, I didn't scold him, I was thinking of breaking free from you and going up directly to give him two big-eared shaves!"
"Yo, look at what you can!"
"Why did you agree to this ridiculous marriage?"
Qiao Jinxin asked directly and loudly.
"If you make a small noise, it's not good to be heard by your subordinates."
"Answer me!"
Qiao Jinxin didn't buy it, but roared louder.
"You're too excited now, go back and rest first, put out the fire, and when you're sensible, I'll talk to you later."
"Okay, I'm going to tell you in a good voice, could you please tell me why you want to agree to this marriage?"
Qiao Jinxin hugged his arms and puffed up, but the volume was much lower, barely stabilizing his mood, waiting for Gu Weijun's explanation.
"The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers have been obeyed since ancient times."
"Besides, didn't you listen to him? Father's dowry has also been received, the post marriage book has been exchanged, it is a sure thing, in case we regret the marriage, they sue the government, Qiao'er will be imprisoned for no reason, is this worth it? ”
"What then?"
