Chapter 38: Two Ideas

"Click, click." Old man Gu was smoking a dry cigarette, the Meng family on the side was distracted, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, Gu Qing'er also went back to his hut a long time ago, and at this moment there were only the old couple left in the house.

Hou Meilan came angrily just now, but as soon as she stepped into the door half a step, Qi Wenxuan hurriedly called her away, Meng Shi was also worried, Hou Meilan is a stingy woman, now that Gu Chuanhai is back, doesn't Hou Meilan Mo want to get married again and ask for the five hundred money to return to her relatives?

It's so dangerous, the person is gone, and she can still hold the money in her hand.

"Qing'er and his father, you have seen the world, you have thought of a way, Gu Yunyao, a dead girl, can't be sold, where can we go to give the second daughter a dowry? This Feng family is a noble relative, and it is related to our third child's entrance examination. Meng Shi sat on the kang and said in a deep voice, and began to pick up the style of her future official old lady again.

and Old Man Gu also tore up, and the most important thing at the moment is to quickly raise money to fill Gu Meixiang.

"I have been to the Feng family once, the courtyard of the four entrances, the magnificent, as long as the second child and his daughter can be the eldest and young grandmother of the Feng family, our Qing'er is her aunt and her elder, and she will definitely be able to marry better." Meng's eyes were full of envy and hope.

Gu Qing'er was robbed of her jewelry by Gu Yunyao, just now she and Old Man Gu tore Gu Qing'er and stomped her feet and went out, this is the girl who blames her.

Old Man Gu spat out a smoke ring, looking irritable.

"What can I do, now the people in the village are poking me in the back, I'm getting old, and I'm going to lose face because of your mother's family when I'm old."

Why did you talk about her mother's head again?

Meng Shi's brows furrowed, and now is it the time to save face?

Meng pouted, outside the house, Gu Qing'er wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and went back to the upper room with a sway, seeing Gu Qing'er coming back, Meng quickly let out the place on the kang head.

"Qing'er, you're back, come up on the kang, my mother will find an opportunity to get your jewelry back." Meng promised.

As soon as the jewelry was mentioned, Gu Qing'er's face flashed heavily, and with a wave of his hand, Gu Qing'er sat on the chair on the ground.

"Mother, you should sit on the kang, I'm here to give you and your father ideas." Gu Qing'er said, Old Man Gu and Meng Shi were stunned, they couldn't think of an idea, what could Gu Qing'er do?

Gu Qing'er pointed to the courtyard, and suddenly lowered her voice: "Dad, mother, don't squeak, I have an idea." ”

As she spoke, Gu Qing'er pointed to the box on the kang.

"Mother, this high-ranking family marries, the dowry is picked into the courtyard with a box, the dowry is the daughter-in-law's thing, the husband's family has no right to ask, the Feng family is a rich man, and he definitely can't look down on Mei Xiang's dowry, what the Feng family wants is just a face, when the time comes, let's give Gu Meixiang a few more boxes, and let Gu Meixiang report the number casually, anyway, the Feng family will not turn over her box to check the dowry."

As soon as Gu Qing'er said this, Old Man Gu's face was full of shock, and the cigarette stick in his hand almost didn't fall on the kang, "This can't be done, how can there be a dowry as a fake, and if this is discovered, our old Gu family's face will be lost, and your second brother will definitely not agree." ”

Meng Shi snorted coldly, his eyes full of green light. "What's not to do, what Qing'er said is reasonable and well-founded, you don't agree, then you pay for the second family's girl to fill it, Mei Xiang's dead girl can marry the Feng family, it is already a blessing to the sky, and she has to pay a dowry, she is not afraid of losing her life, besides, she is a young grandmother, she has a monthly silver every month, and she eats fragrant and drinks spicy food every day, can she use the dowry?"

Old Man Gu didn't speak, Gu Qing'er's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly said, "Dad, didn't I come up with this idea for the good of the family?" The four rooms were separated, how much money was taken away, if you give Mei Xiang a dowry again, don't you want the third brother to give up the imperial examination? And when it comes to the second brother, Dad, I feel sorry for you and my mother. ”

Gu Qing'er patted her heart. "The house in the town, a few years ago, my mother wanted to sell the property, and the second brother said that he was working in the town, and it was better to have a place to live than to live under the fence of the landlord Feng's house, just because he was greedy for pleasure and wanted to live comfortably, this house of hundreds of taels was cheaper for Gu Chuanhai's father and daughter, father, hundreds of taels of silver, which was enough for the third brother to take the imperial examination for many years."

Gu Qing'er kept saying that it was Gu Chuanshou, and Meng Shi looked at Gu Qing'er and felt even more uncomfortable, Gu Qing'er's little trick she didn't understand after living so old?

Meng's heart was sour, her daughter was disappointed in her, if this hundred taels of silver were there, her daughter's dowry would be much easier.

The firmness on Meng's face became a little heavier, and he said angrily to Old Man Gu: "You know face every day, can face be eaten?" Mei Xiang's dead girl even crawled into bed, you still have a fart face, this matter is settled, it costs money to buy a box, the family has just been knocked out of a large amount of industry by the fourth king, the eighth calf, the second will be a carpenter, let the second child make a box for his daughter, old man, Mei Xiang, this dead girl is the second daughter's daughter, not your daughter, when did she ever be filial to you? Look at how sensible our Qing'er is, and you know how to solve problems for you, you spend real money to fill Gu Meixiang, our Qing'er is about to get married, what do you let Qing'er do! ”

Old Man Gu still kept silent, raised his head and looked out the window.

When Gu Qing'er heard this, she frowned secretly in her heart, she desperately led Gu Chuanshou to her, didn't she just want to put herself in? Mother is really brainless, and she pulls herself out at this time.

Dad too, still refusing to nod, why hesitate?

Gu Qing'er secretly scolded Meng and Old Man Gu in her heart, and hurriedly diverted the topic.

"Okay, Daddy, I just have an idea, you two have to discuss what to do, I still have something to talk about."

Old Man Gu took another puff of his cigarette. "Qing'er, what's the matter with you?"

"Of course it's about the fourth room, Dad, Gu Chuanhai, this ungrateful bastard has gone out separately, but in terms of genealogy, he is still your son, it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, Li Zheng can manage our small courtyard, but if the patriarch is found, it is the matter of our entire Gu family, if you don't kill people or set fires, you can't control it."

Gu Qing'er said slowly, when it came to finding the patriarch, Old Man Gu twitched. "Qing'er, we are already embarrassed enough today, Gu Yunyao's stinky girl has blocked all the roads for our family, find the patriarch, and my father will really have no face to live."

Gu Qing'er's heart was about to explode, her face was face-saving, and her face was useless, but Gu Qing'er could only suppress her anger, and still said to Old Man Gu with a good face:

"Dad, you didn't listen to me, how do you know it's a shameful thing? I didn't say that you should find the patriarch to press Gu Chuanhai back to our house, unfilial piety is the greatest, Gu Chuanhai is now a desperate family, he is twenty-seven, our Gu family's clan rules are twenty-five years old and childless, Gu Yunyao lost money, she didn't agree to the inheritance, hehe, which onion is she in front of the clan rules? On the genealogy, Gu Chuanhai is your father's son, so you can only succeed our family's children, Gu Chuanhai thinks he is powerful when he separates the family? These industries belong to our family, so he Gu Chuanhai dreamed of it. ”
