The next day, Gao Wenlin went to Yamen, and when he was about to arrive, he met a person who said that he was looking for him from Wucheng County.

Although I don't know each other, people can find Shuntianfu, and they are from their hometown, so they can't help but ask for something. He politely invited him to a nearby teahouse and asked for a private room.

After sitting down, I asked for tea, and after Xiao'er went out, the man introduced: "Under the surname Peng, the name is erected, the word Yunfei, the hometown of Huai County, I have studied in Wucheng County for three years, and I have been teaching in Huai County Academy, and now I am serving as a scholar." ”

Gao Wenlin arched his hand and said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, I don't know what Peng Xuezheng is looking for Gao?" ”

He also thought that it would be someone his cousin Gao Wencai knew, who happened to come to Beijing and wanted to contact him. Because Huai County is not far from Xuanqing Mansion.

His next words surprised Gao Wenlin.

"When I was young, I knew the aunt and wife of the Gao family, and I didn't hide it from the Gao Tui official, and I admired the aunt's wife at that time, but my mother was unwell, and I returned to my hometown to do my filial piety, and later ......"

Gao Wenlin was surprised, withdrew his smile, looked at him suspiciously, and waited for him to finish.

"Three years ago, I passed away from clumsy Jing, and I had no intention of remarrying, but I didn't expect to meet my aunt and wife on the street yesterday, and I was excited, and told my aunt that I would come to the Gao Tui Guan to propose marriage, and I implore the Gao Tui Guan to agree."

After speaking, he got up and stood in the middle of the room and bowed to Gao Wenlin.

Gao Wenlin was startled, he was too suddenly surprised, he heard that he had known the eldest sister before, and they met yesterday, no wonder the eldest sister looked wrong yesterday, and his wife also told him, and he still wanted to ask the eldest sister what was on his mind.

But this is the eldest sister's business, and if she doesn't figure things out, Gao Wenlin won't say anything.

"I have to ask my sister about marrying my husband for the first time and then marrying for the first time."

Peng Xuezheng replied respectfully: "Yes, I also told my aunt and wife that I must have the consent of the senior magistrate, I came to see the senior magistrate, just to express my heart on this matter." ”

Gao Wenlin is not a corrupt person, he asked the eldest sister a long time ago, if she wants to remarry, she can marry, don't say anything to the accident. The eldest sister said that she would not marry, and if her brother allowed her to be in her parents' house, she would stay in her parents' house, otherwise she would be able to be a sister-in-law in the temple.

This made Gao Wenlin difficult to say anything, and if he talked too much, he was like the eldest sister going out, so he had to tell the eldest sister that if he wanted to marry one day, he would tell his brother that he was going to prepare a dowry.

For almost 20 years, the eldest sister took care of her nephews and nieces as her own children, and she never said that she wanted to remarry.

Now the eldest sister is in her forties, and someone else is a grandmother at this age, but if the eldest sister has a relationship with this person and is willing to marry, I, Gao Wenlin, will also prepare a dowry.

Just when the man spoke, Gao Wenlin looked at it carefully, he looked like a scholar, spoke sincerely, and his appearance was not ugly, and he could see that he was a handsome man when he was young.

Gao Wenlin returned home in the afternoon, called the eldest sister to the study, and told him about Peng Xuezheng coming to him.

When Gao Cui heard this, he jumped up from the chair and said hurriedly: "He is talking nonsense!" I didn't say I was going to marry him. ”

As soon as Gao Wenlin heard it, he knew that the eldest sister knew the person, and he didn't say anything.

Gao Cui finished jumping and looked at his brother, and explained: "Wenlin, I didn't get married before, I knew him, he came to our Wucheng County to study in another county, and he squatted on the side of the road with a stomachache on the way back, I sent him to the hospital, and I met him like this." I saw him a few times later, but I didn't make a private agreement with him for life, he said that he would come to our house to propose, I was happy in my heart, waiting for him to propose. Later, he said that he wanted to go back to his hometown to become a family, his mother to do the master, I felt sad, knowing that our family would be poor, people would definitely not look down on it, but always couldn't let go, and then Wencai's family moved to Xuanqing Mansion, I cheekily followed my aunt to say to go and see, find an excuse to go out by myself, inquired about Huaixian, and saw that the person married a lame girl from the academy. After that, I let go, it's not that I'm bad, it's that my father isn't learning. If our family lives in a dilapidated house as it used to be, will he come and marry me, a widow in her forties? I'm not fifteen or sixteen years old, I don't care about a few good words for a man, don't say that he is a scholar, even if I don't marry any of the five adults in Beijing now, I don't want to marry my aunt and wife of the Gao family, so I should fill the house for others? Not to mention the guy who only has wealth in his eyes, I took the backstage of my mother's family to fill in the hole for his Peng family? Think beautifully! ”

Gao Cui was angry, because she didn't have to live, she had long lost the heart to remarry, she had lived in her mother's house for almost twenty years, although it was hard but comfortable, her father was still there, she could be filial, and she got along well with her brothers and daughters-in-law, and her nephews and nieces she watched grow up, and she had already integrated into a family emotionally, and then let her go to someone else's house to start all over again, even if she went to be an old feudal monarch.

"I know, I'll call him back, eldest sister, don't go out, let's be happy about the things in the store."

Gao Cui blushed, thinking that her brother said that she went out alone to see the man, and hurriedly explained: "I stayed fine today, I went to the shop, who thought that the person was in the shop, I didn't recognize it, and when I went home, he came up to talk, only to know that it was him, he said to come to propose, I said that I would be beaten out with a big stick, Wenlin, I won't go out again, I was happy to say that I would support my old age, and Zhao'er." ”

Gao Wenlin said: "Eldest sister, I will be a brother to support you, don't worry." ”

Sending the eldest sister out, Gao Wenlin frowned and sat alone for a while, and the next day he inquired about Huaixian Xuezheng.

A few days later, Peng Xuezheng came again, and Gao Wenlin naturally politely invited him to the teahouse.

Straight to the point and said: "I'm sorry, my eldest sister has no intention of remarrying, and Peng Xuezheng is looking for another family." ”

Peng Xuezheng said without giving up: "I know that I was not good before, for the sake of my mother, I lost my aunt's wife, I will make up for it in the future, I will be good to her in the second half of my life, and I will not let her be alone and have nowhere to go." ”

Gao Wenlin sneered in his heart, did he want to say that a married girl can't accept her mother's incense?

"Peng Xuezheng, you definitely don't know me, I have already explained to my son that my eldest sister is in the ancestral grave of my Gao family."

Gao Wenlin's eyebrows raised at 8:20 and said, "I heard that Peng Xuezheng has a confidant who has been with him for many years, alas! It's not easy to be a woman, and after so many years of hard work, she should have a name. ”

Peng Xuezheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Gao Wenlin to even know this so soon, he knew everything that his Peng family and Yue family didn't know?

made a mistake, and thought that coming to propose marriage in a dignified manner would make Gao Cui's heart move, so she knew that she was willing to move Gao Cui in private, and she would just say the marriage.

When you become a pro, what can you do if you have an outer room? The child had already been taken home, and it happened that Gao Cui had no children, so she put it in her name.

"Gao Tuiguan, that's nonsense from outsiders, that person is a distant relative of my mother, I am following my mother's order to arrange for her to live, I can't see death without help, I haven't had a concubine in the house since I got married, and this time I came to Beijing to live in my relatives in my father-in-law's house."

Gao Wenlin was so angry that he wanted to scold, a shameless man, he did things in his mother's name, and told his eldest sister that it was his mother's family affair when he got married.

Fart! His mother has been down for eight lifetimes, and she is the son of a beast.

When he came to Wucheng County to live in his aunt's house, he was entangled in Huai County, and had to come to Wucheng County to study.

What is sanctimonious, he is!

"How did I hear that your mother didn't want you to marry at the beginning, and you didn't come to your cousin's house in Wucheng County after that, I don't know if you know or not, I, because I have been the chief bookkeeper in Wucheng County for more than ten years, so I know everything in the county, there was a pitiful thing back then, but the little lady was saved, and finally married to a foreign country, the family is good, if it is my ......, it's hard to say."

Gao Wenlin had a smile on his face, how Peng Xuezheng felt gloomy, and goosebumps all over his body.

No wonder the people of Wucheng County say that he is a smiling tiger.
