Chapter 178: Marriage (4)
It's just that when the grain transport team passed through Qi'er Village, it still encountered a lot of displaced people who came up to loot, Jiang Zhiming asked the guards brought by the Hou Mansion to be equipped with knives, and those victims did not dare to approach easily, most of the surplus grain was also transported back, and a small part of the grain Jiang Zhiming had already let those guards be distributed to the old people and children in Qi'er Village.
After the Gu government transported the surplus grain from the grain village in the south of the city, the rice shops in the city were also opened one after another, but the price of rice remained high, and the victims had no money and could not afford to buy rice.
A few days after the rice shop opened, there was an incident where the rice shop was looted by the victims, and the government was busy deploying to defend against mountain bandits, so it didn't care about these things, so that all the rice shops in the city closed their doors.
Since the rice shop was looted by the victims, the street is not very safe, Lin was worried that Gu Yutang would run out to play without authorization, so he banned her feet, and ordered Ah Hua and Da Han to keep her firmly in the house, and not even allow a step out of the door.
Gu Yutang was crooked on the soft couch in front of the window, holding the book that had been turned up, carefully watching every move in the opposite West Chamber, Ahua sat on the side and peeled grapefruit for her, Da Han went to the pantry to wait, and did not stay in the house.
Gu Yutang saw that there was no one in the West Chamber, so he thought about asking Jiang Zhiming where that stupid boy went? took the grapefruit handed over by Ah Hua, and before he had time to taste it, he said, "Ah Hua, what is the Jiang family doing these days?" Why haven't you seen anyone else?"
Ah Hua knew that his own girl didn't speak, and when she spoke, she would definitely ask about the Jiang family's son. After eating half a piece of grapefruit, I was willing to say.
"Girl, I heard the stone brother next to the Jiang family say that since the Jiang family was frightened by the girl that day, the Jiang family first went to the city god temple in the city to burn incense, and then went to the Puji Temple outside the city, and asked for a peace charm of the Puji Temple.
Gu Yutang heard this, and said secretly in his heart: Jiang Zhiming, a stupid boy, when did he believe this? After asking for the blessing of the gods and true people who have traveled so much, what does he want to do?
Could it be that something happened to the Hou Mansion, he went to the Buddhist temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, just to pray for his parents?
"Ah Hua, did the stone tell you, Jiang Zhiming, that stupid boy, what is the purpose of praying to God and worshiping Buddha these days? He is neither disaster nor disease-free, and these days he burns incense and worships Buddha, could it be that he is praying for the blessing of his family?" Gu Yutang took the half-eaten grapefruit in his hand, pretended to ask casually, and said.
Ah Hua looked at her girl as if she was about to break the casserole and ask the end, and knew that her girl had the Jiang family's son-in-law in her heart, but her own girl wanted to save face, and she refused to say it every time, so that the Jiang family's son-in-law took his girl's birthday these days, went to the temple to find a real person and counted it over and over again, and donated so much sesame oil money.
Ah Hua thought for a moment, and finally said: "Girl, two days ago, the stone brother next to the son of the Jiang family came to me, saying that he was going to take the girl's birthday eight characters, and take it to the Buddhist temple to test the real person with the Jiang family's son's birth eight characters." The son of the Jiang family has gone to so many temples these days, and asked for a peace charm for the girl, a peace bag for the girl, and also donated sesame oil money for the girl. ”
When Gu Yutang heard this, he was stunned for a long time. Jiang Zhiming, a stupid boy, turned out to be doing these things behind her back these days, and took her birth date to test him, if those immortals and real people don't agree, then does he really not plan to marry himself?
Jiang Zhiming, a stupid boy, if those immortals really understood this, they would have gone to the palace to be a national teacher a long time ago, where could they be reduced to a temple and give ordinary people to solve the eight characters?
In the previous life, those Taoist priests who came to the house to tell her fortune said that she was going to live a long life, but who would have thought that she died in the lotus pond within a few days.
Since then, she has not believed in these fortune-telling stinky Taoists.
Gu Yutang thought, since Jiang Zhiming, a stupid boy, has done so many things for himself, if he doesn't send something over, it will be a bit too much. He commanded Ah Hua.
"Ah Hua, early this morning, my grandmother asked someone to send a basket of grapefruits, you go and pick a few good ones and send them to him. Also, put a little bit of the almond cake I made in the small kitchen the day before yesterday and send it over. ”
Ah Hua smiled and said yes, and went down to prepare.
After Ah Hua went to the West Chamber, Gu Yutang was worried that she wouldn't be able to speak after she passed, and when the time came, she would shake out all the things she asked her today, if she let Jiang Zhiming's stinky boy know, she might feel more proud, so she must go over and take a look.
In the autumn moon courtyard, the Liang family was preparing for dinner, because the autumn tiger went north in the past few days, and the courtyard where the Liang family was located was leeward and extremely hot, so Liang asked the little maid to put the dinner under the grape trellis in the courtyard. Zijuan, who is next to Feng Laoan, has reduced the use of each room and courtyard a lot in the past few days.
Even the Liang family here has also reduced a lot, today's dinner, but three or four light side dishes, the Liang family has no appetite, so he used a lot of pickles taken out by Qin's mother.
As soon as the Liang family had dinner, a small servant in the concierge brought over the letter handed down by Gu Licai. took the letter, asked Qin's mother to take the silver money to reward the little guy, and asked people to send the little guy out.
Liang went to the inner room, opened Gu Licai's letter, and read it carefully. Gu Licai wrote in the letter that a few days ago, the Yang family and Gu Licai had a quarrel in the ancestral hall again, if it weren't for the Yang family with the help of people from the Yang family, I was afraid that Gu Lichi's family had brought the child born to him and the Chen family to the ancestral hall to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.
is not on the genealogy, even if he enters the ancestral hall and worships the ancestors and martyrs, he is not a child of the Gu family.
If that child refuses to recognize his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, and goes to the genealogy, he is afraid that he can only be a black household for a lifetime. The Liang family guessed that Gu Lichi must have panicked these days, otherwise he would not be stupid enough to get into trouble with the Yang family in the ancestral hall in front of the Yang family.
After reading Gu Licai's letter, Liang handed the letter to Qin's mother next to him, and instructed: "Find a few good hands, go to the grange to find it, be sure to find the outer room for me, and give me a good look, the old lady will return to Chengjiang in a few days, don't let her appear in front of the old lady and Sister Tang, so as not to scare them." ”
Mother Qin hurriedly glanced at Gu Licai's letter, and said lightly: "Madam, the old slave knows, but let's do this, do you want to discuss with the second master, if the second master knows that the wife has traveled to this troubled water, the second master will definitely blame you." ”
