Gu Shi smiled: "Then give this girl an abacus, the elegant one has heard it, and the next one to listen to the vulgar one can be regarded as an elegant and vulgar appreciation." Speaking of which, I like to listen to people's calculations. ”

Chen Yanting hurriedly said: "Speaking of abacus, who can compare to Mrs. Xu?" Actually, this abacus is also quite interesting, I have never looked down on it, I don't know why this girl misunderstood. ”

When Gu was young, she was also a famous talented woman in the business field, just because she had a good calculation. Chen Yanting also remembered what she said before, and was afraid that the Gu family would misunderstand her and look down on the abacus, so she hurriedly remedied.

Thinking of this, Chen Yanting felt that Jiang Hanxiao was too insidious, and actually said that she looked down on the abacus, didn't she deliberately smear her in front of Mrs. Xu? Although she did feel that the abacus was not as elegant as Fuqin, she had never said it herself, how could that village girl buckle her hat on her head?

Gu Shi smiled: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and I also want to see what the young girl looks like when she dials up the abacus." ”

Jiang Hanxiao quickly got the abacus, and she bowed to Gu Yingying: "Please also ask Mrs. to ask the question." ”

Gu Shi smiled: "In that case, bring me another abacus, and I'll just calculate it together." ”

Everyone was very surprised, they didn't expect that the Gu family would make an abacus with Jiang Hanxiao, Chen Yanting was even more jealous and her eyes were red, she just hoped that Jiang Hanxiao would not make an abacus, otherwise what if she really made her please Mrs. Xu?

Gu Shi first reported a series of numbers with addition and subtraction to Jiang Xuehe, everyone felt a headache when they heard such a large number of numbers, Jiang Hanxiao turned the abacus quickly, and there was a confident smile on his face.

Xu Zisheng inherited the Gu family, and he was not interested in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting by nature, and what he liked to listen to the most was the sound of the abacus. Everyone thought she was messing around when they saw her speed, but he could see that this girl was serious. Soon, Jiang Hanxiao reported a string of numbers.

Someone was unconvinced: "Look at her so fast, who knows if it's blind." ”

"yes, I don't know if it's right."

Gu Shi picked up the abacus and dialed it himself, and said with a smile: "What I calculated is the same as that of Miss Jiang Wu." ”

Chen Yanting couldn't believe it, thinking that this could be a blind cat meeting a dead mouse?

Seeing that she and many girls showed disbelieving eyes, Gu Shi said: "In order to avoid everyone not believing it, I will just come up with a few more questions, and everyone can calculate it themselves, and see if Miss Jiang Wu is right." ”

Not every merchant girl can dial an abacus, many people heard that they were asked to count and waved their hands repeatedly, only a few girls asked someone to bring paper and pen to count.

The Gu family came up with many questions in a row, Jiang Hanxiao calculated it quickly, and the final result was the same as the Gu family, so everyone believed that she had real talent and real learning. But everyone didn't take this to heart, it's rare for a country girl to dial the abacus quickly and accurately, but who marries a daughter-in-law who doesn't look at the family background to look at the abacus? This Jiang Hanxiao, no matter how outstanding she is today, she is still a country girl, and it is impossible to marry into the Xu family.

Gu Shi was very surprised when he looked at Jiang Hanxiao, and beckoned Jiang Hanxiao to his side and asked with a smile: "I see that you are skilled in abacus, who did you learn from?" ”

Jiang Han smiled and said: "I learned from my second aunt, when I was a child, I always liked to go to my second aunt's house, and at that time, I thought the abacus was fun and often took it to play, and the second aunt saw that I liked it, so she gave me a small abacus and taught me how to calculate." ”

Gu Shi looked at Jiang Xuehe and smiled: "Xue Niang, it's a pity that your mother is gone, otherwise I really have to ask for advice, how she taught her daughter and niece so well." ”

Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "Madame is too modest, and the young masters and girls of the Xu family are also very good, which is all the credit of Madame." ”

"I'm just going to be able to see these few." Gu Shi was humble for a moment, and asked Jiang Han again, "How old is this year?" ”

"It's fifteen, just past the end of the day." Jiang Hanxiao didn't know why Mrs. Xu asked this.

"It's a good raiser." Gu Shi touched Jiang Hanxiao's little face and smiled, "I don't know what kind of people will be cheaper?" ”

Jiang Xuehe smiled: "No, my third aunt is having a headache about her marriage." Find someone with a fairly honest family background, and I always feel that my appearance is not as good. Find someone who looks good, people don't seem to be honest enough. My cousin is the heart of the third uncle and third aunt, and I have seen many families in the village, but I am still afraid that I will treat my sister badly in the end. ”

Jiang Xuehe has become a relative, so she can say such things. But Jiang Hanxiao is a big girl, and when others mention her marriage, she can only bow her head and make a shy appearance.

Gu Shi's gaze at Jiang Hanxiao softened more and more: "Whose parents are not like this, they are always afraid of wronging their children, your sister is a good one, so naturally she also needs to find a good family." ”

Many girls who fell in love with Xu Zisheng felt very uncomfortable, thinking that the Gu family praised this village girl like this, didn't they really fall in love with this village girl? I knew that they also learned to dial the abacus when they were at home, who would have thought that the Gu family not only loved the abacus, but also liked to watch others dial?

Gu Shi glanced at Xu Zisheng again, and saw that Xu Zisheng was also looking at Jiang Hanxiao, so he took down the hosta he was wearing today and inserted it in Jiang Hanxiao's hair and said with a smile: "This should be a meeting gift for you, you fit my eyes, and I will often come and sit when I have time in the future, and accompany Rou'er." ”

Jiang Hanxiao hurriedly pulled out the hosta and offered it with both hands: "Mrs. Xu, this is too valuable, I can't accept it." ”

Gu Shi smiled: "What is valuable, it's just an ordinary hairpin, not worth anything." ”

"Madame, don't coax me, although I don't have much knowledge, I can also see that this jade is transparent, and it is different from what is sold in ordinary markets. Mrs. may be said to be fake jade, but with the financial resources of the Xu family, how can she wear fake jade? Jiang Han smiled and said seriously.

"You're quite smart, but I like it more." Gu Shi picked up the hairpin again and gently inserted it into her hair again and smiled, "This is the first time you have come to such a place, and you don't know the rules yet." Originally, the girl who performed the best was the one with the color head, you may not be the best performance today, but it is the one who makes me the most satisfied, I will naturally give you the color head, if you refuse, but you will not give me face. ”

"Yes...... But......" Jiang Hanxiao couldn't help but turn his head towards Jiang Xuehe and cast a look for help.

Jiang Xuehe was about to help with the resignation, but when she raised her head, she looked at the Gu Clan's insistent and determined gaze, so she had to bite the bullet and said: "In this case, the fifth sister will accept it first, the elders can't give it away, and such a banquet does have a colorful head." ”

Jiang Hanxiao also noticed the Gu family's gaze, so he reluctantly accepted the thing, thinking that he would have to find another opportunity to return it to the Xu family in the future.

Xu Zisheng rarely saw his mother forcibly giving the girl's things, he looked at the Gu family strangely, but met the Gu family's smiling gaze, Xu Zisheng's old face was red, thinking that he had just looked at the smiling girl a few more times and was seen by her mother?

Gu Shi saw that his son who was like the reincarnation of a demon boy blushed, and he was quite proud in his heart, thinking that it was not easy for this stinky boy with high eyes to fall in love with him. But after thinking about it at this time, she found that her son was not really above the top, he should just have not met him before, after all, this girl's family background is not good.

Gu Shi left for a while, dragged Xu Zisheng out, and asked in a low voice, "Tell my mother, what do you think of that Jiang Wu girl?" ”

Xu Zisheng whispered back: "Actually, I didn't think much about it. ”

"Didn't think you kept an eye on people? How have you ever stared at a girl like this before? Gu raised an eyebrow.

"I just thought that the girl was good-looking, and the dress on her body was also very suitable for her, so I took a few more looks. Unexpectedly, the girl was not only sharp-tongued, but also had a good calculation. My mother knows me, and I still prefer to listen to someone dial the abacus than to listen to the piano. ”

"It's not, I caught a golden abacus when I caught Zhou!" Gu Shi glared at him angrily, "Forget it, since you have some meaning for this girl, then I will inquire for you, if her family is not bad, then the mother will go to Jiangjia Village to propose marriage to you." ”

Xu Zisheng didn't expect his mother to be so easy to talk to, and said in surprise: "Mother is serious? ”

"Naturally, seriously, how old are you this year? Your eldest brother's children can make soy sauce, can I not be in a hurry? If you're as big as Zixi, I don't bother to care about you! ”

Xu Zisheng said with a smile: "It seems that being old also has the benefit of being old, and I earned it." ”

Xu Zisheng didn't think about finding the right person, after all, their Xu family's family business will be inherited by his eldest brother Xu Zishu in the future. If he wants to do business on his own, it is best to find a reliable Yue family, but Xu Zisheng has confidence in himself, and he feels that his relationship with his eldest brother is okay, and he will not make trouble to the point where he needs an independent portal. Even if he really got to that point, if he wanted to live a prosperous life, he didn't have to rely on the Yue family, and he himself had some ability.

Gu couldn't help glaring at Xu Zisheng, thinking that sure enough, her children were debts, fortunately she was a good and enlightened mother, otherwise where would she accept this? Jiang Hanxiao looked good, but it really couldn't bring much help to Xu Zisheng, but anyone who felt sorry for his son hoped that his son could find a rich Yue family, so that even if the family was unhappy in the future, he would not starve to death.

Fortunately, Xu Zisheng is indeed quite talented in business, and now the shops he runs are good, and their brothers are harmonious, so the Gu family is also downbeat on his daughter-in-law's family.

In her opinion, if her son is forced to marry someone he doesn't like, he will definitely have to take a concubine in the future. In that case, it is better to find one that he likes and that she can accept in the first place.
