Chapter 23 Entering the Village
At the foot of Dazhou Mountain in the southeast of Xingyuan County, most of the people who live are not rich and noble, and most of them are also refugees from other places, and some of them have a rich family background, so they buy land and land, buy some family business, and settle down, and more are rented land, so they gather into a village, and now there are dozens of families, which is also a small village.
Because Yazhou is peaceful, there is no military disaster, and the taxes are less, after many years of recuperation, the people are still happy, and all year round, in addition to chewing, I can't say that I can still leave a little, make a new set of clothes for the children, and pull two flower cloths for the daughter-in-law, and the days are getting more and more rushed.
At this time, just after noon, all the heads of the families went to work in the fields, and the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law gathered at the entrance of the village, talking while doing their work.
A peasant woman holding a laundry tub hurriedly came from the entrance of the village, said hello to a few good villagers, sat down and said, "Look at the house at the east end of the village, someone has finally come, and they are unloading things inside." ”
When everyone heard this, they quickly stood up, raised their eyes and looked into the distance, and they were all stunned, only to see people coming and going not far away, the house that had been empty for half a year, the doors were open, and the powerful dart masters carried one big box after another into the door.
Those boxes are made of mahogany and camphor wood, all of which are quite exquisite, and two people can't move them at all, so they need three or four people to carry them together, and they don't know what they contain, they are so heavy.
"Oh my God, this has a hundred and ten boxes." A woman with a goose egg face, but in her twenties, roughly counted, and her face showed a little surprise, "Where did this come from?" ”
"You see, Wang Ce's family is greeting in front, I heard that Wang Ce helped one of his relatives buy a house, and he also takes care of the empty house on weekdays...... In just two years, Wang Ce bought six acres of land, built a new house, and married a daughter-in-law. ”
It was Chen Hui who spoke, he was in charge of the family in the county government as a famous criminal master, her mother's family is also a solid family, although it is not a big family, she is also wealthy, she has a lot of knowledge, and she knows a few words, and she has a lot of prestige in this small village, "I think, eighty or ninety percent of our village is a nobleman." ”
At this moment, a carriage that was one-third wider than the usual carriage stopped in front of the house, and the carriage was not very luxurious, but the discerning man knew that it was meticulously crafted, and the seams were natural, and the whole carriage was like a whole. The horses used to drive are also extremely powerful and well-trained, and they walk quietly, and the hooves of the four horses land exactly the same frequency.
This group of people is also very lively, Sister-in-law Chen made a look, and the big guy walked over with a needlework basket and a laundry basin.
As soon as I got closer, I saw the owner of the carriage coming down.
It was a young man, never more than twenty years old, dressed in a royal blue robe of fine embroidery, with a wide belt and jade beads threaded with silver thread, and the smell of books all over his body.
When Wang Ce saw them, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and the young man turned his head, bowed his hand very politely, and said with a smile: "I've seen all sisters-in-law." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and helped out a little lady, "This is the sister-in-law, please take care of your sisters-in-law in the future." ”
The little lady raised her head, let go of her brother's hand, and bowed down generously: "Sisters-in-law are polite." ”
She wore a water-red silver fox jacket today, with a pleated skirt embroidered underneath, and pink pearls set off her skin like white jade......
Chen Hui was the first time to face a little girl, and her face was red, and she instinctively reached out to tidy up her clothes, not only her, but everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, for fear of shocking this girl who was so standard.
After working for a while, everyone saw the courtesy and said a few words politely, Chen Hui carefully observed Gu Wan's words and deeds, and saw that she was well-founded, and her behavior did not look like a girl of such a young age at all, and she wondered in her heart, this is about which big family raised the lady, but, how could she settle down in their small place?
She had the heart to listen to the details, but at this time, the two brothers and sisters of the Gu family had not settled down yet, so it was not good to disturb them much, and after talking for a while, everyone said goodbye and left, Gu Wan and Gu Anran brothers and sisters personally sent a few steps, agreed, and when they were cleaned up, everyone had a housewarming banquet together, and the group of sisters-in-law who said it was smiling.
When everyone walked away, Gu Anran returned with his sister.
"Gu Dalang, little lady, everything is almost settled, and the main house is also cleaned up, you two have traveled all the way, it must be hard, why don't you let my mother-in-law boil some water for you first, wash up."
As soon as Gu Anran and Gu Wan entered the door, Wang Ce greeted them.
Gu Anran smiled: "Then it's bothering Auntie." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Wang Ce's daughter-in-law was newly married, and her face was still thin-skinned, and when she heard Gu Wan call her aunt, her face turned red, and she hurriedly turned around to boil water.
This Wang Ce is three in his Chinese New Year's Eve, he is Guo Yuzhu's nephew, he used to live in Guojiatun, and then his family was attacked by bandits, his father and mother are gone, only he is left, life is getting more and more difficult, always relying on Guo Yuzhu to help is not a thing, this is only then left the hometown, is settled in Yazhou five years ago, relying on people to work to live, life is tight, there is no permanent birth, there is a meal all day, there is no meal, the age of the boss, even a daughter-in-law can not be said.
More than two years ago, he asked a fellow villager to send a letter home, and when he asked, knowing that he was in Yazhou, he found the Cheng'an Dart Bureau, gave him a letter, and brought him a hundred taels of silver, of which twenty taels were for his hard work, and the other asked him to help inquire about where there was a house land for sale, and it didn't need to be good, the key was that it was big enough to accommodate the entire Guojiatun people who were willing to move out.
At that time, Gu Wan also knew that this was a risk, but for her, this risk really had to be taken.
Fortunately, people in this era are much simpler, and they also pay attention to their relatives, Wang Ce is dedicated to Gu Wan's affairs, he was working in Yangjin at the time, and the news is also well-informed, and he heard that there is a house in Xingyuan County that is very in line with Gu Wan's requirements, and it is about to be sold, so he hurriedly bought it, and it cost a hundred taels, and he did not keep half a tael of silver, and also posted a lot of travel expenses, food and accommodation expenses.
Fortunately, it is now a troubled time, many people have suffered disasters, and they are worried about military disasters, although Yazhou is now peaceful, it is really hard to say how it can be done, there are many people who sell houses and land, if they change the peaceful and prosperous times, the house definitely belongs to the ancestral foundation, and no one will sell it easily.
As soon as the people from the Cheng'an Dart Bureau came back and said, Gu Wan was relieved, and after coming and going, the two families got in touch, Gu Wan let the family do things, and they couldn't let the family suffer.
Guo Yuzhu also knew the temperament of the two brothers and sisters of the Gu family, so he wrote to communicate with his nephew, so that Wang Ce accepted Gu Wan's silver and bought some family business.
