Li Zijun felt uncomfortable.
Staring at a bowl of bitter and astringent wild vegetable soup on the table, he sighed: "Mom, how good is it to marry Sanniang?"
He didn't like Gu Xiang. Li Zijun knew that his family was weak and if he wanted to make achievements in the officialdom, he had to find a strong in-laws. Gu Xiang was not qualified to marry him.
But these days of studying with hunger are indeed tormenting.
Wang was silent for a while and said hatefully: "... That girl is cheap!"
When the marriage between the Gu family and the Zhou family was about to be negotiated, Li Zijun and Wang were ready to compromise.
If you have no surplus food in your home and your belly is empty, even if you have ambitions and starve yourself to death, you will not be able to achieve it.
It’s not that Wang’s son doesn’t want to climb up, but he has to climb up. Many daughters of wealthy families want to marry scholars, but the minimum requirement is that they must be a scholar, or even a talented and well-known one.
Li Zijun had no fame and fortune, and even the matchmaker told his family that he was talking about ordinary girls in the countryside.
When it comes to country girls, Gu Sanniang is almost the best one.
Li Zijun's eyes flashed, thinking of Gu Xiang who he saw through the fence a few days ago. She was wearing a new dress and a tender yellow skirt. She was full of glorious autumn chrysanthemums and lush spring pine. That kind of style was definitely not inferior to those of the wealthy families.
Wang was so unwilling to do so: "That yellow-haired girl doesn't understand the rules, has a sarcastic mouth and a bad heart. How can she be worthy of Brother Jun?"
Li Zijun sighed and showed some regrets on his face: "I feel sorry for my mother. When Sanniang enters the door, my mother can enjoy leisure and avoid being exhausted."
Mrs. Wang shut up, with some satisfaction and ironing on her face. That night, she carried two handfuls of scallions and walked up to the Gu family's door.
Gu Xiang was sitting in the yard playing with ropes. She played with the long red ropes in countless beautiful ways. There is really little entertainment now. You can't go out for travel without a mobile phone or Internet, so you have to have fun for yourself.
Even though he has to work hard for life every day, Gu Xiang has always been open-minded. Since he has lived, he should live a more quality life and should not be so tight.
While talking to Jiang, Wang frowned at her: "Your Sanniang still has to teach her well. How can you live without her eyes? Brother Jun, we are the ones who are not alive. If Sanniang doesn't learn well, I'm afraid Brother Jun will be angry in the future."
Jiang: “…”
Just now, Wang talked a lot when he entered the door. After listening for a long time, she vaguely understood that Wang might be here to propose marriage.
But when others come to propose marriage, they always lower their eyebrows and bow their heads, speak kind words, and hold the girl to the sky. This person is different. His chin is raised high, his eyes grow on his forehead, and he speaks with two self-worthy words that hurt his daughter so hard that he can't see it. That posture is like begging her to marry a daughter.
Jiang was speechless for a moment, and Gu Xiang let out a "pu" sound. The plot of the prime minister's daughter kicking a scumbag and marrying a duke is probably too late to refer to by the butterfly.
This time she reacted very quickly, mainly because she had contacted Wang a lot, and when she saw her, she had an instinctive reaction: "Aunt Wang, I know you have a bad mind and don't understand people's words. There is no way, and the little girl can only speak directly. Even if the little girl only loves to lie high in her life, it has nothing to do with your family. Even if a man in the world dies, the little girl Gu Xiang will not look at Li Zijun. He is an unrighteous and unfilial person. He is a little girl who thinks it is dirty when she mentions him."
Wang was dumbfounded, his mind was filled with mess: "What do you mean?"
Gu Xiang smiled: "It means to avoid misunderstandings. In the future, I will still not know everyone from the other side of your Li family. It is easy to leave, and I won't send you off."
Jiang rolled his eyes, and before his daughter finished speaking, she used a clever effort to rub Wang out of the door, slammed it, and said angrily: "Who are these people!"
Wang stood at the door of Gu's house for a while, dizzy and so angry that his heart hurt. He couldn't believe that stinky girl Gu Sanniang actually dared...
"The bastard, back then, back then..."
My father-in-law Ke and Old Man Gu had an engagement.
Wang only dared to complain about this. After all, she has clarified the engagement in other words over the years, and it is purely a false statement. Now she is letting herself slap herself in the face. Even if she is not afraid of making a fool of herself, she is worried that she will hurt her son's reputation.
Gu Xiang angrily criticized Wang's family, which was quite relieved.
Jiang came back to his senses and grabbed Gu Xiang and told him repeatedly: "Women get married is like reincarnation in a new life, and they must not be ignored."
Gu Xiang responded with a smile, and suddenly hesitated in her heart. She couldn't help but think of A Zheng who jumped into the river.
I saved her at that time and thought of nothing.
After a few days of busy work, my mind was empty.
Seeing her mother so alert, she suddenly realized that this era is different from the era she was in. In her era, she often hears complaints that women have difficulty living in the world, men are promoted faster in the unit, and women have to pass countless levels such as having children.
But at least in most positions, men can do it, and women can do it.
Women can go to school, go out to work, support themselves, and choose to get married or not. When encountering domestic violence or gambling husbands, divorce is just a pain.
But this place...is really different.
Gu Xiang retreated from the situation of losing his life at any time, thinking about his long study career from kindergarten to university, which is more than just ten years of hard work?
Should I really marry a mediocre man who I don’t know at all and spend my life? I just want to find a helping hand and change my destiny. Can a man who is chosen casually like her really be reliable?
Gu Xiang was a little worried about how to tell her parents that she didn't want to get married now, but that night, Gu Laoshi returned home from the construction site, looking sad and anxious, bringing great bad news to the family.
"What? Let Sanniang go and Yongyijun be the cook?"
Jiang's mind buzzed.
Gu Laoshi was also in tears, looking at Gu Xiang's pink and tender little face and sighed: "What should I do!"
In these days, the daughters of ordinary people have no doors to go out and don’t go out. Life is difficult, and they can’t be more particular.
In order to save fabric, many poor people have to have a few inches shorter trousers, not to mention exposing their ankles or half of their calves. When they work hard, how can they care about the various things?
But going to work as a chef in the military camp is very different from finding a job in the village or county. Gu Hushi and his wife love their daughter, so how could they let their daughter show up? And going to work there is really a damage to their reputation and it is not a joke!
Gu Laoshi wiped his tears: "I'm going to ask Sun Lizheng now. He has a relationship in the county. I beg him to help us. Even if I lose everything, I will never let my daughter..."
Gu Xiang: Oh, please!!
Diners who came from the sky really wanted to come to whatever they wanted. The Yongyi Army was also the army. If they expanded their connections in the army, it would be of great benefit to themselves and the Gu family.
Gu Xiang's eyes were so excited that his eyes were shining: "My daughter is going!"
Gu Hushi: "Why don't you marry Zhou Dong tonight... Woo."
The so-called prefect who destroyed the family and the county magistrate who destroyed the family, the people did not fight with the officials, and he felt guilty as soon as he spoke. How could the magistrate Wang and the county magistrate Zhou allow him to refuse?
Seeing that the girl's eyes were clearly in tears, she still tried to squeeze out a smile to comfort the couple, Gu Laoshi was in a state of turmoil: "My poor daughter!"
Another worry was that on the second day, Gu Xiang packed his bags and followed the soldiers sent by Magistrate Wang to escort the soldiers on his way to leave on the next day.
Gu Laoshi and Jiang's wife cried so hard that their eyes were swollen, and their faces were full of vain. If Gu Xiang comforted her, they would cry even more fiercely. There was no way, so they had to lose their eyes and remained confused.
As the carriage drifted away, Jiang wiped his tears: "I'm afraid this matter cannot be hidden. If you send a letter to your elder sister-in-law, when Sanniang comes back, she will send her to her elder sister-in-law to live for a while."
Gu Laoshi lowered his head and responded in a low voice.
The child is still young, and she doesn't understand that people can be afraid of it.
Jiang Shi was a little dazed: "...Will anyone recognize her face if Sanniang shows up like this..."
"Shh."
