Chapter Eighty-Five: The Smoky Gu Family
Gu Liuxi was frying the medicine, and Aunt Song came in with a dustpan of dried river shrimp, smelled the medicine and smiled: "Liuxi's medicine is really effective, my mother's eyes have been much better recently, and I can see your face clearly when I stand at the door." ”
Gu Liuxi said: "As long as my mother drinks on time, her eyes will slowly get better in the future." ”
Aunt Song walked to the stove, poured all the dried shrimp into the grain tank, and said, "The scar on Yu'er's face looks like it's getting better, Liuxi, what kind of medicine are you, why is it so effective?" ”
Gu Liuxi removed the small pot from the stove, took a small bowl and poured the medicinal juice, and then brought it to Aunt Song, and said: "It's a home remedy from the book, I always like to read these when I'm idle and have nothing to do, in fact, I just tried it, I didn't expect it to be so effective." ”
Aunt Song blew the cold medicine and drank it a few sips, raised her sleeve and wiped her mouth, and sighed: "I don't know if Cheng'er brought stones and Luan'er found the miracle doctor, my mother is really worried, I haven't believed it after walking for so long, if I can find the miracle doctor, the stone won't have to suffer anymore, if I can't find it......"
At the mention of her sick little grandson, Aunt Song looked gloomy.
"Mother, don't worry, the stone must be a blessed child, just because you are so kind, God will not treat him badly." Gu Liuxi didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but it was Aunt Song who said this.
Outside the courtyard, the father and son of the Song family quarreled with Aunt Song, and the first two women in the house didn't want to get involved, so they let them make trouble, anyway, Aunt Song was docile and wouldn't quarrel, and she couldn't help when she went out, and Gu Liuxi always felt that she was an outsider, so it was better not to intervene or not to interject.
Finally sent away the plague god of Aunt Song, the father and son of the Song family were exhausted, and the Li brothers were also so angry that they blushed and had thick necks, and they didn't want to talk for a long time.
In order not to be discovered by Aunt Song, they have not been able to do it for three consecutive days, Daddy Song thinks that it is not a way to go on like this, if Aunt Song comes to make trouble every day, can they still not start work every day?
Song Yu proposed to go to Butcher Zhang's house to make braised pork, and Gu Liuxi also gladly accepted, which also saved them the effort of dragging the pork back, and was able to avoid Aunt Song, which was a double win.
In order not to be harassed, the family decided to simply go to Butcher Zhang's house to help make braised meat, so as not to be annoyed by Aunt Song.
Song Yu went to the city with Gu Liuxi, and Aunt Song also asked them to go to the temple to make incense on their heads to bless the stone to recover as soon as possible.
The two set off before dawn, and when they arrived in the town, they didn't even open the Jiashan Building, let alone the Shuili Building.
Due to the good sales of milk tea, the shopkeeper Li told the proprietress that he hoped to buy a few more cows from the north to come back, and the climate here is suitable and can be fed. Fresh milk and milk tea made from the top of the big red robe, now almost has become the favorite drink of all girls in Niutou Town, I heard that the proprietress intends to take the milk tea to the city to sell, expand the market, but still need to wait and see for a while, to see if the people who drink the milk tea will not be uncomfortable, stomach pain and diarrhea.
Gu Liuxi also wants to go to the city to see if there are any other ingredients that can make milk tea, especially fresh flowers and fruits, as long as they are prepared properly, they may be more popular than milk tea, after all, fruit tea and flower tea are also very popular in modern times, and different combinations can also have different effects, such as acne and weight loss, beauty and beauty.
To develop this aspect, it is really not enough to rely on a leading town, you need to go to the city or even the whole country, and the more people drink, the better.
Gu Liuxi felt beautiful when she thought of this, as long as she was smart enough, diligent enough, and a little luck, if she wanted to improve the current poor life, it was just around the corner.
The two of them found a carriage in the town, and when they arrived in the city it was already early in the morning, but fortunately there was no such thing as "rushing to the market" in the city, and the shops on the side of the street were open at any time, and as long as there was silver, they could buy whatever they wanted.
Gu Liuxi deliberately brought ten taels of silver, just to buy back all the things he needed, so that he could save himself from coming back for another trip in the future.
But the most important thing is to choose a wedding gift for Gu Yanran.
This congratulatory gift is also very exquisite, a more expensive one, Gu Liuxi can't afford it, a cheaper one, Gu Yanran can't look down on it. Anyway, they are also sisters, Gu Liuxi doesn't want to stiffen the relationship with the original owner's sister, so it takes some thought to say this.
In the end, the two of them picked and chosen, and finally picked out a set of silver bowls in the goldsmith shop, as well as peanuts and lotus seeds and other auspicious silver products, which cost more than seven taels of silver in total, which made Gu Liuxi so distressed that he almost cried.
These things are nothing in the eyes of big families, but they are earned bit by bit by her and the Song family, and they are reluctant to use them on weekdays, which will really cost a lot of money for a Gu Yanran.
Gu Liuxi walked out of the goldware shop with Song Yu holding the silver products, and complained as she walked: "Don't look at the amount of silver we spent, she Gu Yanran doesn't necessarily appreciate it, she must think that we are fooling her with cheap things, but I don't want to think about it, if we don't buy pigs and beef, our family won't be able to spend so much silver in a year." ”
Song Yu looked at her with a smile in his eyebrows, "As long as you have this heart, it is enough to be worthy of yourself." As for what Gu Yanran thinks, that is also Gu Yanran's business, and it has nothing to do with them.
Gu Liuxi thought about it, she had done her best, whether it was a congratulatory gift or obstructing the marriage with the prince Wang, if Gu Yanran had any misfortune in the future, it would be her own doing, and it had nothing to do with her, even the original owner might not care so much about her sister.
Because it was close to noon and not far from Gu's house, Gu Liuxi and Song Yu went back to their homes together, saving him so much silver on his body, in case he was robbed, he would be in trouble.
Good things are coming, but the Gu Mansion does not see the slightest festive color, the clouds are dense, and the people under the atmosphere dare not take a breath.
Seeing Gu Liuxi and Song Yu go back, Master Gu smiled very hard, and then asked his subordinates to prepare good wine and food to entertain them.
During the banquet, Gu Liuxi finally couldn't see Old Man Gu's haggard and vicissitudes of life, and took the initiative to ask, "Daddy, what happened?" "Why do you look like you're a teenager all of a sudden?
Master Gu sighed and said, "Your sister is going to marry into the county order family, Daddy knows who Wang Tianhu is, why don't she listen to her, what can Daddy do?" ”
Song Yu was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not my father-in-law's fault, Miss Gu has reached the age where she can judge independently, and she has repeatedly warned and not listened, if there is any mistake in the future, she should also bear it herself." ”
Master Gu smiled bitterly: "That's right, but she is my daughter after all, how can I watch her jump into the fire pit?" ”
What Master Gu said is also true, the love of blood is stronger than water, if something really happens, it is impossible to ignore it.
