Pu Cao had just made lunch, and she instructed Chunying to take care of the two children to eat first, and she took two servings to Fang's house. Although the Fang family's daily meals are accompanied by Aunt Jiang's Zhang Luo, she always has to serve some good food. Not to mention how Fang Jie likes to eat the food she cooks, even Chu Fei, a guest, is not easy to slack.

She was turning around to close the courtyard door with a tray, and when she turned her head and saw the Li family's granddaughter-in-law trotting over, she smiled and said, "Liu Zhi'er, why do you have time to come here at this time?" ”

When Liu Zhi'er arrived, he took a few breaths and told Fang Cai's family about it, and then said with a puzzled face, "I think that your brother has decided to have a family affair outside, why don't you go home and tell you first, is he afraid that you will not agree?" Moreover, the Chu family will ask the media to change the post after three days, and hire them after five days, which is too urgent. I'm afraid you won't have time to prepare something, so I'll come and tell you first. ”

Pu Cao was so shocked that she almost threw the tray in her hand, in her impression, Zhang Gui was only fourteen years old when he was at the end of his age, if he was still a junior high school student in his previous life, how could he get married? Why is it so urgent?

Liu Zhi'er was worried that her mother-in-law at home would find her, so she ran back with a few words of comfort, leaving Pu Cao frowning and walking quickly into the courtyard of the Fang family. Jiang Shuhan took the tray with a smile, pointed to the study and said, "Our son-in-law is checking the accounts inside." ”

Pucao nodded in thanks, opened the door in three or two steps and walked in.

Fang Jie looked up and saw her come in, and immediately put down the pen and paper and smiled, "It's lunch time so soon?" What good dishes did you make today to reward me, if it doesn't suit my heart, I won't tell you about the restaurant's income this month. ”

Pu Cao ignored him, sat directly on the chair, poured himself a cup of herbal tea and poured it into his stomach. Seeing this, Fang Jie was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, but there's something at home?" ”

Pu Cao pulled his sleeve and sat down with him in annoyance, and then told Zhang Gui about his unauthorized marriage. At the end, he said, "I always feel uneasy, I have seen the gentlemen and ladies of the Chu family, and they are really not good characters." Now that they are so eager to marry their daughter, either Miss Chu has some flaws, or Zhang Gui has done something unseemly.

And when Zhang Gui came back, he bypassed me as a family member and directly asked the village elders to call the shots, is he afraid that I will not agree? I always think there's something strange about this..."

Fang Jie stretched out his hand to wipe away Pu Cao's frowning brows, and smiled lightly and comforted, "This is not a big deal, how can it be worth your worries like this." I'll let Aunt Jiang go to the Sancha River to investigate, and we'll know the news in the evening." You're also worried, what to do, and then think about what to do. ”

Pu Cao thought that this was also a good idea, so she nodded her head and agreed.

Soon, Aunt Jiang came in and listened to Fang Jie's careful instructions, then changed her clothes and went out. The old lady didn't ride a horse or a chariot, but when she left the village, she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This made Pucao, who then went up and wanted to give a few more words, so shocked that he stuck out his tongue, and finally sighed, it turned out that they were all masters.

This afternoon, Zhang Gui was eating, drinking, laughing and laughing at Li's house, but Pucao couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep, that is, the two children were making trouble eating buns, and she went to find Chun Nier.

Finally, when it was about to get dark, Aunt Jiang finally rushed back. I don't know what means she used to dig up a major secret. How Miss Chu cheated with a scholar and was broken, and how Mrs. Chu beat the mandarin duck were all found out by her.

Pu Cao was so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time, if this matter is placed in modern times, at most it is not the right door, and the little couple will be forced to agree to the parents if they make a fuss. But now it is an era when a woman is out of line when she is lifted from the corner of her skirt, this Miss Chu family is really amazing! Whether she is out of a momentary novelty or believes in the supremacy of love, such a spirit of daring to resist is definitely the first in this era. The only pity is that she was ruthlessly suppressed after all.

Pu Cao sighed for a long time, and finally suddenly woke up, this is not the time to admire this woman's boldness. You must know that the Chu family has made up their minds to marry their daughter, and Zhang Gui wore a green hat before they got married.

Fang Jie saw that Pu Cao didn't speak, and thought that she was so angry with the Chu family, so he stepped forward and persuaded, "Don't be too angry, just know the details of the Chu family." I'll accompany you to see your brother in a while, and talk to him carefully, and this family matter will be settled. ”

Pu Cao nodded, thanked Aunt Jiang again, and then went out with Fang Jie to return to his house.

As soon as the two entered the hall and talked a few words to Shanzi and Taohua, Zhang Gui came back drunk and shaky.

Fang Jie saw that he was walking unsteadily, so he stepped forward to help him sit down. I didn't want Zhang Gui to see that the two of them were in the same room, and remembered Lizheng's words before, so he suddenly became angry. As soon as he pushed Fang Jie away, he scolded, "You two adulterers and adulteresses dare to openly appear in my Zhang family." You are not afraid that my brother's spirit in heaven will see you and punish you! ”

Fang Jie originally had kung fu, and he couldn't help it when he waited for three or five big men. But when he stepped forward, he didn't expect Zhang Gui, a powerless scholar, to push him suddenly, and without defense, his arm hit the square table hard.

Pu Cao is a person who is extremely protective of her shortcomings, she didn't feel anything no matter how she pinched Fang Jie, but seeing him being pushed and injured by Zhang Gui like this, she was immediately furious, raised her hand and spilled a cup of tea, and said angrily, "What are you doing drunk?" If you dare to scold again, see if I don't cut your tongue! ”

Zhang Gui was poured tea on his face, and he shivered, and the wine immediately retreated. He remembered Pucao's previous methods of rectifying the second uncle's family, and inevitably had some scruples in his heart, so his voice weakened, but he still argued in his mouth, "Hmph, you two have done a good job, and you still have the face to shout loudly in front of me!" ”

"What's wrong with the two of us, he is not married, I am an abandoned woman, why can't I get married?" Pu Cao's eyes widened, and his finger almost pointed to Zhang Gui's nose, "What, do you think I should be a cow and a horse for the Zhang family for the rest of my life?" Phew, how old are you! Since I returned to Zhang's house, I have worked hard to earn money for the family to eat, as a man of the Zhang family, when have you ever reached out?

That's all, I'll take out a few taels of silver a month for you to study, and you just think you're the best in the world just a little show in the exam. Spending all day drinking, squandering my hard-earned money, I haven't asked you for justice, and you dare to come to me to point fingers. Okay, don't you want to shout, don't you want to seek justice for your eldest brother? Let's go, go to Lizheng's house, find the elders to comment on the reasoning, and see who is right and who is wrong? ”

Pu Cao hurried forward every time he said a word, and when he finished speaking, he had already squeezed Zhang Gui to the corner of the house. Zhang Gui was weak in the end, and he had heard Li Siye and others praise Pucao at the wine table before, and guessed in his heart that if the two of them went to someone to comment on justice and seek justice, he would definitely not take advantage.

Thinking like this, he sat on the chair with a tiger face and snorted on Pucao's arm, and said in a rough voice, "If you want justice, you will naturally have an opportunity in the future." I'm coming back today to tell you that I'm getting married. Tomorrow, you will go into the city to buy dowry materials, and in five days, Li Zheng and Li Siye will personally go to the next job. ”

As he said this, he immediately straightened his chest when he remembered his future father-in-law's official background, proudly pulled out the dowry list in his arms and slapped it on the table, and said, "This is the dowry list, so I will buy it according to this." Remember to be rich, don't let the Chu family look down on the Zhang family. ”

Pu Cao really wanted to take off her shoes at this moment, and slapped Zhang Gui's face that was unbelievably thick. But she remembered the news that she had returned, so she reluctantly suppressed her anger and sat down to drink tea again.

Shanzi and Peach Blossom saw their sister-in-law and brother quarreling, and they all gathered around Fang Jie, grabbing his belt with their little hands and looking frightened. Fang Jie gave Pu Cao a look, and Pu Cao also felt that the next words were not good for the children to hear, so he pulled them to coax them and sent them to the back room.

Seeing this, Zhang Gui thought that Pucao was being suppressed by himself. Just as he was about to go back to sleep happily, he didn't want Fang Jie to stretch out his finger and press lightly on the side of his elbow, and he would be half numb and unable to get up. He was shocked, he wanted to scold and looked at Fang Jie's smiling appearance, he was a little cautious, and unconsciously closed his mouth firmly.

Pu Cao walked out of the back room, and when she saw him looking so frightened, she smiled at Fang Jie, "What strange tricks did you use?" ”

Fang Jie shook his head and smiled, "I'm here to help you keep people, if you have something to say, say it quickly." ”

Pu Cao nodded, walked to Zhang Gui and sat down, and after thinking about it for a long time, he whispered the secret of the Chu family clearly, and finally persuaded, "The Chu family is afraid that such an ugly thing will be known by outsiders, so they are anxious to marry their daughter." I don't know how their husband and wife coaxed you, but since this Miss Chu already has that little guy in her heart, and she still does such a ridiculous thing, it must be a bad thing to get along with. Forget about this family business, wait until the day you are the top student in high school, and the ladies of good families are not for you to choose? ”

Zhang Gui was really shocked before, his eyes were about to fall to the ground, after all, this thing was a bit too shocking. But he remembered the bloodstains on the bed when he got up in a panic in the morning and Miss Chu's pitiful appearance, and immediately felt that this matter was not credible.

Seeing that Zhang Gui was silent, Pu Cao thought that he had listened to persuasion. While breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, he raised his head and smiled gratefully at Fang Jie, who naturally responded with a smile.

The love between the two of them flowed between their eyebrows and eyes, and it fell into the eyes of Zhang Gui, who was a little hesitant in his heart, and immediately became the scoop of cold water poured on his head. He suddenly glared at the two of them and said angrily, "I don't believe it, this must be the two of you who have calculated to deceive me." The Chu family is a scholarly family, how could Miss Chu do such a degrading thing? You are plotting against my Zhang family's property, and you are afraid that with the help of the good Yue family, I will ruin your good deeds? ”

Pu Cao thought that he would persuade the stubborn cow to turn back, but where did he think that Zhang Gui would be so stubborn. She was also really angry, slapped the table with a slap, and scolded, "Is your head made of elm?" I've said all the good things, why are you still so obsessed? As you said, how could the scholarly family of the Chu family take a fancy to you, a peasant boy, and you are in such a hurry to get married, you don't want to think about the strangeness? Besides, the Zhang family's property is all my hard-earned property, who would say a word if I want to spend it, and say that I designed a scheme, it's a joke! (It's painful to work hard to code words!) If you want quality, you don't have speed.,I'd better take it slowly.。 Come on! ）
