Chapter 191: Return
The family is living a good life now, but her father bought all the money into the field. Of their three sisters, when her eldest sister got married, her father gave ten acres of land, and two hundred taels of silver to press the box, and the rest of the family belongings were just a few cabinets and a few boxes.
She kept the soap ledger and knew how much silver she could get in each room.
In the past few years, there have been about 1,000 taels a year, which is still not expanding the business, but it is conceivable how big the profit of soap is, and her father has really shared a lot in recent years.
Don't think about it, when they go out in a few years, her father will definitely come with the eldest sister's dowry.
It's not that she dislikes her father's less, her father and mother love her son, and she can understand it, but in comparison with the makeup given by the uncle, the dowry is even more ineffective.
The jewelry that the uncle bought on weekdays was better than the dowry, plus a hundred acres of land when adding makeup, and a few household goods, it was already very good for them.
Giving a gift to the uncle in return is not all about pleasing the uncle, there is also an element of gratitude. The Gu family, because of the uncle, life is better.
Gu Chengyu saw that it was a snow-blue satin material, embroidered with green bamboo, the craftsmanship was not good, the stitches were a little rough, and the color matching was a little messy, compared to Gu Wan's embroidery, it was a world of difference. However, this is the niece's heart.
He poured out the jade pendant in his purse, this is a piece of jade cicada, the material is white jade, just ordinary green and white jade, it is not valuable, and it looks worth thirty or forty taels of silver. For Gu Chengyu, a random piece of his place is better than this. The piece he was wearing was emerald jade, which was tender in color and delicate in texture, and it was a better variety, worth more than three hundred taels of silver.
This is also an ordinary product in his jade pendant, so this piece sent by Erya is indeed bad.
Gu Chengyu took off the jade pendant and purse on his body, and then replaced them with the ones given by Erya.
"Siya didn't learn to embroider for a long time, it's already good to embroider like this, I like the jade cicada and purse very much, so I wear it."
Gu Chengyu's purse was bought, and his second sister was going to embroider a dowry recently, so she didn't have time to embroider a purse for him, so she just replaced the one she bought.
Seeing this, Erya's eyebrows were full of joy, "Uncle doesn't dislike it, Siya and I have to wash the dishes when we go back, so I won't bother Uncle." ”
Gu Chengyu nodded in agreement, and the three of them staggered and went back to the house.
He also knows what they are thinking. He didn't want his nieces to reciprocate anything, so it didn't matter what they were doing to him. This purse and jade cicada can be regarded as an unexpected gain, and there will be a reward for paying, which is true.
The cold mountains turn green, and the autumn water is murmuring.
The autumn morning was already very cold, Gu Chengyu wore a thicker robe, and had already got into the carriage that Mingmo was rushing to the town.
Between the mountains and forest roads, you can see scattered fallen leaves everywhere, dyeing the mountains with a layer of golden yellow. Gu Chengyu looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and remembered the poems of the ancients in his previous life.
Strange people are always prone to sentimentality in the fall. This situation and this scene really make people feel emotional.
At this time, there were not many people going to the villages in the town, and those who did not take the ox cart had already set off, and those who took the ox cart could not keep up with the speed of their carriage.
"Huh? The fifth child of the Gu family! Stop it! ”
Gu Chengyu was looking at the yellow eyes with emotion, and he heard someone calling him on the side of the road. The fifth child of the Gu family? I think I'm calling her.
Gu Chengyu opened the curtain and looked, who is this Wang Yueniang?
Mingmo also heard the shout, "Childe! Need to park? ”
When his son-in-law meets people in the village on the road, he always takes them with him, after all, he is a neighbor.
"Don't stop!" Gu Chengyu felt very uncomfortable when she saw Wang Yueniang, this woman always said bad things about her mother outside, and those eyes felt restless when she looked at them.
Mingmo answered yes, and then drove the carriage forward.
"Wait! Stop it! Gu Chengyu originally wanted to put down the curtain, but he didn't expect to see Aunt Wang a few steps away from Wang Yueniang in a blink of an eye.
"Aunt Wang, get in the carriage quickly."
Aunt Wang bumped into Wang Yueniang in the morning, and she felt very unlucky. I couldn't wait to be ten feet away from her, but I didn't expect to meet Gu Chengyu on the road.
She is a cheerful person, seeing that it was the carriage of the Gu family, she heard Xiaobao calling her, so she hurriedly answered loudly and ran towards the carriage.
Mingmo stopped the carriage, and Aunt Wang jumped into the carriage nimbly.
"Oops!" Aunt Wang just entered the carriage, but found that the car was covered with colorful blankets. When she entered, she stomped the mud from her feet on the blanket.
Aunt Wang is about to cry, this thing is very precious at first glance, it has been trampled on and dirty, what if it can't be washed?
"Aunt Wang, come in and sit, the blanket is stepped on, just wash it!" Gu Chengyu hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the back basket for her, pulled Aunt Wang, and asked her to sit.
Aunt Wang seems to like him very much, and often gave him delicious food when he was a child, although it was just some pine nut candy and pastries, it was also a thought, and her family also had a baby.
There were gossips in the village, and she also helped to speak, for his family, and quarreled with others, he has always liked his straightforwardness.
When Aunt Wang heard that she could wash it, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Yueniang saw that Gu Chengyu and they ignored her, so angry that she almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, who knew that the carriage stopped later, she thought it was going to carry her! Running forward in high spirits, ready to get into the carriage.
How could Gu Chengyu call Aunt Wang, she could only watch the slut get into the carriage and walk away, how could this not make her angry?
"Phew! Crazy what? When I'm done, isn't the carriage just a casual ride? ”
Wang Yueniang thought of her plan and felt that she should act quickly. When that day comes, don't talk about carriages, even being a wife can be.
When she thought of being able to live such a good life, she only felt relieved, and even hummed a song.
"Then I'll sit down, and Xiaobao doesn't dislike me. When are you going to go to the capital when you come back this time? "Aunt Wang is also close to the Gu family on weekdays, and often goes to chat with the Lu family, Gu Chengyu is going to the capital, and the Lu family has nagged with her. The last time Gu Chengyu wrote a letter, he mentioned this matter.
The Lu family misses her son, and Aunt Wang often goes to relieve her, and the relationship between the two is very good.
"After spending more than a month at home, it's time to leave. Aunt Wang went to the town, but what do you want to buy? Gu Chengyu saw that Aunt Wang's basket was empty, and he didn't go to the town to sell eggs.
"Our dog is going to get married! I went to the town to buy him something for his marriage. As soon as she said this, a smile appeared on Aunt Wang's face.
Gu Chengyu was infected by her smile, and was happy for him when he heard that the dog was going to get married.
"I just came back, and I haven't heard of it, I didn't expect to get married, when is it?"
Gu Chengyu thought that Aunt Wang was good to him, and when the time came, he asked Mingmo to give him a backup gift.
"There are still six days to get married, the day is set in a hurry, and there are still a lot of things to buy! Do you have time to spare? Go to the table with your mother. ”11
