Subsequently, Gu Ming took over the main task.

This time, the main quest is still a creative quest, but it doesn't require any content to be created, and the book needs to sell at least 10,000 copies.

Experience rewards between 2000 and 4000, as well as random items.

Gu Ming thought for a while and decided to publish a collection of works.

Last time, a poetry book was released.,But it's not sold to the outside world.,Now that I've received the task.,It's time to put it on the shelves.。

According to Gu Ming's idea, this collection will be divided into two volumes, the first and the second, but it will not be sold separately.

The first volume is poetry, and the second volume is some prose miscellaneous, which will include some famous passages from previous lives, such as "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", "The Burrow", "Words of Return" and so on.

Of course, these have to be adapted to the realities of the situation.

In addition to these famous articles, Gu Ming will also write some by himself.

At his current level, he is completely confident in writing the artistic conception of spring and snow.

Write some of your own, including poems.

As for the title of the book, it is named "Flower Collection".

With such a decision, Gu Ming began to prepare that night, striving to complete the manuscript and deliver it for printing before returning to Beijing, so as to complete the task as soon as possible.

The days that followed were busy and fulfilling.

Although the preparation for the wedding was a little hasty, it was carried out in an orderly manner.

There are those who help with planning, those who help with treats, and those who help with errands and procurement...... In short, as the old saying goes, the more people there are, the easier things to do.

Not to mention Gu Ming's current prestige and status, even if he doesn't mention this stubble, his father-in-law is also the parent official of Guobei County, and many people take the initiative to run up and down on this basis.

Gu Ming was busy preparing and socializing during the day, and writing, reading, and doing tasks to earn experience at night.

For him, there is a lot of free time in the evening. After all, he didn't have to sleep for a few hours like ordinary people, and he only needed to sleep for half an hour to regain his spirits.

In the afternoon of that day, Nie Hongshu came to the courtyard with a small jar of wine.

"Master~"

Yu'er hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

Gu Ming and Nie Xiaoqian were sitting in the room discussing some details of the wedding, and they also came out when they heard the movement.

"Daddy~"

"Father-in-law, why are you still carrying wine? Think the son-in-law's wine is not good? ”

Gu Mingle stepped forward and made a joke.

Between Weng and his son-in-law, occasionally making a harmless joke, it seems to be closer.

Sure enough, as the old saying goes: girls go outward.

As soon as Gu Ming said this, Nie Xiaoqian also said angrily: "That's it, Daddy came with wine, and people who don't know think that his daughter is reluctant to give you wine." ”

Nie Hongshu: "......"

"Which one do you two sing in harmony? This is an old friend specially brought Du Kang wine, so let's bring it over and taste it together. ”

Gu Ming's eyes lit up: "Du Kang? It's rare and rare, and it should be generous, and the worries are unforgettable, how can you solve your worries? Only Du Kang! Well, just for this poem, you have to taste it. ”

When it comes to the wine of the world, each place has its own characteristics.

Northern wines are mostly stronger, while southern wines tend to be softer.

There are very few northern liquor sellers in the Jiangnan area, and many people are not used to drinking it.

However, Du Kang's wine is very famous, thanks to Cao Cao's short song line, the sentence "How to solve worries?" Only Du Kang "has been able to make Du Kang wine often synonymous with wine."

"Yu'er, prepare a few more appetizers."

Nie Xiaoqian commanded Yu'er.

"Well, got it, Miss."

Weng and his son-in-law sat down in the courtyard and inevitably chatted about some preparations for the wedding.

After chatting for a while, Gu Ming couldn't help but ask: "Father-in-law, you seem to be a little worried, could it be that you have encountered something troublesome?" ”

Sure enough, Nie Hongshu couldn't help but sigh at the mention of this: "If you want to say that there is indeed a troublesome matter, I have received a case in the past two days, and I always feel a little strange." ”

"Oh? Can you tell me about your father-in-law? ”

After all, Gu Ming is also an official of the imperial court now, and it is reasonable to care about local cases, not to mention the case in Guobei County.

"It's a long story......

Nie Hongshu sorted out his thoughts and began to explain slowly from the beginning.

More than 20 miles away from Guobei County, there is an ancient mountain town, called: Fengqi Town.

It is said that more than 1,000 years ago, a woman was elected to the palace in this town, and was later canonized as a noble concubine, so the town was named Fengqi.

Although the town is not big, it has mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery and abundant products. Relatively speaking, the life of the local people is not bad.

There are several wealthy families in the town, among which there is a family surnamed Ji, the head of the family is about 50 years old, and he is called Ji Yuanwai.

Ji Yuanwai has no children under his knees, only two daughters, the elder sister is called Ji Min, and the younger sister is called Ji Yao, and the difference is only one year old.

Ji Min got married when he was a few years old, his fiancé is named Du Cheng, his family background is average, and his family has more than ten acres of land, not to mention compared with the Ji family, even if he is a rich family, he can't talk about it.

However, it is not poor.

Du Cheng's grandfather and father are both talented, and there is no need to pay rent for these more than ten acres of land...... In short, there is no problem with the family's food and clothing.

The reason why Ji Yuanwai is engaged to the Du family is also because of the innocence of the Du family, both generations are talented, and they can barely be regarded as scholars.

The important thing is that Du Chengda was smart when he was young, and he could memorize a lot of poems at the age of four or five, and even a few pairs.

Ji Yuanwai thinks that there must be no problem with his talent in the examination, if he is lucky, maybe he can still win a person or something, then he can glorify his ancestors.

Therefore, Ji Yuanwai asked a matchmaker to go to Du's house early to propose marriage...... To put it bluntly, I also want to take a gamble.

In case Du Cheng really wins the lift in the future, he will also have infinite scenery as a father-in-law.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Du Cheng doesn't pass the exam, there will definitely be no problem in taking the test. When the time comes, with appropriate funding, the daughter will not suffer and be poor.

However, a businessman is a businessman after all, and Ji Yuanwai's abacus is very fine, although he has set a family affair, but at the same time, there is also a condition, that is, Du Cheng must be selected for Xiucai before his daughter will pass the door.

Later, Du Cheng lived up to his expectations and finally passed the Xiucai examination, so it was naturally time to talk about marriage.

But at this time, Ji Min also grew up and had his own careful thoughts.

She didn't want to marry in her heart...... To be precise, I don't want to marry into the Du family.

The Du family's family background was originally very ordinary, and Du Cheng's father was sick in bed, so in order to treat his father's illness, Du Cheng had sold most of his land.

As a result, life is even more stretched, and it is difficult to maintain even food and clothing.

As for Ji Yuanwai, although he regretted it a little, he was still a face-loving and trustworthy person, and he didn't want to let a group of villagers poke his backbone, so he took the initiative to find Du Cheng, saying that it was better to get married as soon as possible, so as to be happy.

Chongxi has always been a folk custom.

On the one hand, I want to take advantage of the festive day to transport the elderly who are seriously ill at home to recover as soon as possible.

Secondly...... It is also related to another custom, once a close relative unfortunately dies, the children of the family must abide by filial piety according to the rules, and they are not allowed to marry for three years, nor are they allowed to leave their hometown.

Otherwise, it is unfilial.

For Ji Yuanwai's proposal, Du Cheng was naturally grateful and began to hurriedly prepare for the marriage.

But I never thought that there was a fire in the backyard...... Ji Min relied on his parents' pampering since childhood, making trouble at home all day long, and refused to marry anything.

Naturally, the couple outside the group can't rely on their daughter's temperament, after all, the marriage date has been set, how can there be any reason to regret it?

If it is spread out, how can the Ji family have face?

Du Teng didn't know it, so he scraped together and finally got some dowry gifts, and invited a sedan chair and a band to come to greet his relatives on schedule.

Who knows, Ji Min still doesn't marry, hides in the room and cries and makes trouble, and even forces her to die, saying that if she has to marry, she hangs herself.

Ji Yuanwai and his wife took turns to persuade each other, and promised that they would take care of her after they got married, and would not let her suffer from poverty.

However, no matter how the couple persuaded each other, Ji Min was as determined as if he had eaten a scale, and refused to change his clothes at all.

Just when the trouble was unbearable, the always sensible sister Ji Yao walked into the room and said, "Daddy, mother, since my sister refuses to marry, don't force her, my daughter is willing to marry instead of my sister." ”

"Huh?"

"This ......"

Ji Yuanwai and his wife couldn't help but look at each other.

Ji Min was energetic, and said happily: "This is not what I said, this is my sister's willingness, and if she wants to marry, let her go." ”

Although this matter is a bit absurd, but the matter has come to this point, Ji Yuanwai is also helpless, and after discussing with his wife for a while, he was forced to accept the way of his sister's easy marriage.

Actually, this is not an uncommon thing, and there have been many such cases since ancient times.

Sisters marry on behalf of sisters, marry on behalf of sisters, and even widows and sisters-in-law marry on behalf of sisters-in-law......

In this way, Ji Yao hurried to freshen up and change her makeup, put on a red hijab and got into a sedan chair, and worshipped.

When he entered the cave room and took off the hijab, Du Chengfang found out with a stupid look on his face how his little sister had become a bride?

Fortunately, Ji Yao was kind-hearted, and did not truthfully say that her sister hated the poor and loved the rich, but made up a white lie, saying that her sister was afraid of delaying the happy event because she was not feeling well.

However, Du Cheng is not stupid, and he has already guessed what is going on in his heart.

In my heart, I was even more happy, glad that I had married a sensible wife.

After getting married, the husband and wife were affectionate and hardworking.

And Du Cheng's father's condition is miraculously improving day by day...... The matter of this sister's easy marriage was rumored in the town for a while.

Ji Yao is ingenious, she picks up some soles by herself when she has nothing to do, embroiders some flowers or something and sells them on the street, without a trace of pampered young lady at all.

In this regard, the people in the town admired her even more sincerely and competed to buy the things she had on the stall.

In addition to reading, Du Cheng also wrote some calligraphy and paintings to sell, and his small life was getting better and better day by day.

At the beginning, Ji Yuanwai felt a little embarrassed, and persuaded his little daughter several times, asking her not to go to the street to set up a stall, and to go back to her parents' house to get it if she was short of money.

However, Ji Yao rejected her father's kindness, saying that relying on her mother's family would damage Xianggong's face, and besides, her current life is also passable, not only is she not hungry, but she also has a little savings with Xianggong.

He also said that he would slowly buy back the land that he had sold before.

At the same time, Xianggong is also studying hard, and maybe one day he will go to high school......

In this regard, Ji Yuanwai's mood is quite complicated.

On the one hand, he felt sorry for his little daughter, and on the other hand, he was also relieved that his little daughter was so sensible.

I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart: they all came out of the same mother's womb, why is there such a big difference between the two sisters?
