Chapter 14: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival
"Isn't that interesting?" Gu Erzhu glanced at his old son who didn't know what to think, "Your grandfather took your old son by the hand, and your old son pushed him back with his backhand." ”
You're not pushing, you're teasing, and my grandma is about to smash the dishes and chopsticks. Gu Wenxuan nodded with a smile, followed behind Gu Erzhu, and entered the middle room of the east wing.
This time he entered, at this time in the house, his mother, sister-in-law, little sister and eldest nephew Xiao Changsuo had all finished eating and returned from the stove room, and were busy cutting red paper and tying red ropes.
There is a sister-in-law, he is a little uncle, not to mention ancient times, even modern times should be avoided, and we should pay attention to proportion. Gu Wenxuan took two steps back and stood at the door of the room.
Gu Erzhu in front also quickly stopped, and said that my grandfather and I have eaten well, and if there is something to shout, I will be next door, so I picked up my eldest grandson and evacuated without saying a word.
Liu responded, and saw her daughter-in-law Ma Shan whispering that everything was packed up and wanted to go out, so she glared at her daughter-in-law, "Don't want to leave, count the silver and package the dowry." ”
Ma Shan chuckled, "I'm not worried about you and Dad being eccentric. Ming'er is our turn to work in this room, they are all eaten, I will go to give the eldest mother a hand first. ”
"I'll go with my sister-in-law." Bao Ya Lisuo jumped off the kang and winked at her mother, "I'm small and easy to talk to, I don't think anyone dares to be reluctant to call their own daughter-in-law." ”
Ghost girl!
Ma Shan gently pinched her sister-in-law's face, "Let's go." Mother, you don't have to worry about me, Liulang is no different from my own brother, I'm not so shallow-eyed. ”
This is naturally known. If it were a bad one, she and the child's father would not bother to ask for this eldest daughter-in-law for the eldest son. Liu nodded happily and watched their sister-in-law leave.
Thinking about it, she neatly wrapped a red envelope of ten taels of silver and put it into the red box on the kang. This is the bride price, and the box is called the box money.
Again, the rulers, scales, scissors, abacus, mirrors, plus boxes and dowries that need to be brought to the door tomorrow are exactly the eight things for the dowry.
The rest of the wedding cakes, wine, sugar, clothing and other things are also ready, just wait for the meat brought by the eldest sister-in-law tomorrow morning to tie a red rope and bring it to the door to hire.
It stands to reason that since the mother-in-law is in charge, these things should be prepared by the child's grandmother...... As soon as he thought of his mother-in-law, Liu heard that Mrs. Gu was coming outside.
"Mother, you're still chasing after me." Looking at the old lady who came angrily at the door, Gu Erzhu walked forward quickly and pulled Mrs. Gu into her grandson's house.
This faceless son! Mrs. Gu smiled angrily, nodded at her grandson's great-grandson who greeted her, and glared at her son sideways, "Ming'er's gift is ready?" ”
"Well, you can't go wrong with those few things." Gu Erzhu pushed Mrs. Gu to sit on the edge of the kang, "It's not enough money, mother, Liulang is still missing a ......"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Gu was so frightened that she hurriedly interrupted, "I'll call you mother." After speaking, looking at the tall grandson, he sighed that he wanted a lot of fabrics.
Gu Wenxuan's back was cold when Mrs. Gu saw it, and it was difficult to intervene to dismantle his father's platform. Besides, the children and grandchildren in the family have a new body and an old list.
If he dares to say no now, his father will suspect that he has been ghosted. Fortunately, his mother came, and his grandmother's eyes were taken away. It's been a really interesting day.
"Mother, don't blame me for opening my mouth to ask you again. I'm different from my eldest brother, my dad loves my eldest brother, and I only have you who hurt me. If I don't look for you, who else can I look for. ”
"People who are all grandfathers." Mrs. Gu squinted at her son with disgust, "Shiro has it, and Liulang is indispensable." I'll go with your daughter-in-law first. ”
It's to take a good look.
Look at the seven taels of silver you gave, no, I almost forgot to come back and pay back a hundred wen, and how many good things your daughter-in-law gave you this time and put them in the house.
"Rokuro."
Sister-in-law?
The old man Gu has four sons and two daughters, and the youngest daughter Gu Yuling's husband is the eldest son and second grandson of the Zhou patriarch in the same village, and the distance from her mother's family is less than 500 meters.
Near is near.
Although my mother-in-law's family is a village, my sister-in-law's family does not let my daughter-in-law often go back to her parents' house, but no one is a daughter-in-law who runs to her parents' house several times a day on weekdays.
Especially now that it's almost dark, my uncle hasn't accompanied me yet. Listening to the cheerful voice, it doesn't look like the two of them quarreling and running back to their parents' house, it's more like there is excitement to watch.
"Where are you going? Go back with my aunt. My aunt told you a happy event about you, you don't listen, don't wait until tomorrow, don't say that my aunt didn't have a prophet to meet you. ”
Wedding?
Patriarch Zhou's tone is quite strict.
"Why don't you ask my aunt what is the happy event? You're boring, boring. Hurry up and ask, if you ask, I will tell you first, otherwise I will beat you! ”
Look at this lively, early thirtieth person, there are people in the village who are about to become grandmothers who have married early, no wonder they always get a big slap from their aunt in the back.
Gu Wenxuan watched Gu Yuling wave his fist at him with his right hand, which made him laugh dumbly, and he didn't ask if there was any happy event.
"Mother, you're on the second brother's side, let me enter the house first. At first, Brother Sishun and his family brought two packs of dim sum to my house. ”
Mrs. Gu was a frizzy old girl with white eyes.
"You don't know what he was doing at my house." Gu Yuling waited and waited, only to see a room of people only nodding and not answering.
It's weird and boring!
Okay, let's go on. "Brother Sishun asked my mother-in-law to be a Quanfu person to sew a happy quilt, and also asked my mother-in-law to help Ming'er go to the house to receive gifts."
Mrs. Gu was stunned.
"Look! Fortunately, I took Liulang to find Uncle (Gu Patriarch) before. Gu Erzhu was proud, "I guess Zhou Laosi won't give up." ”
"No, the second brother guessed correctly." Gu Yuling looked at Gu Erzhu with admiration, "Brother Sishun said that he owes his family too much and wants to give the child a good omen."
I also heard your brother-in-law say that Brother Sishun asked his grandfather privately about who in our village is in a hurry to transfer the land, and he wants to buy the land for his third family to marry. ”
"What?"
Ha!
All of a sudden, didn't you? Gu Yuling raised her eyebrows and raised her chin, "I said that I want to buy high-grade fields, but I can't find a high-grade one, and a medium-sized one is fine."
When I came, my grandfather praised Brother Sishun for finally getting back to business. Sanya has a field to marry into our family, and my father will not dislike her for being a maid. ”
"Hey, that's it! What's wrong with the maid? The girl from the family works in the sewing room when she is young, or the old lady in the house is the life-saving benefactor, where is the difference? If it weren't for the child wanting to come back...... Gu Erzhu hurriedly covered his mouth, "When my mind was confused, I didn't say anything." ”
"I know a lot!" Mrs. Gu stretched out her tiptoe to pinch her son's ear, "The old lady said that you couldn't wait for a moment when you were in a hurry yesterday." ”
"Hey~ Mother, the child is still there. What bad thoughts can I have, if I go back to the dowry list and marriage certificate to be filed with the yamen, and I can still snatch the dowry of my daughter-in-law as a father-in-law? ”
Gu Erzhu nodded, and immediately looked at Gu Yuling, "Old sister, what the second brother said, you and your brother-in-law said nothing in private, but outsiders can't do it, you know?" ”
