"I'm telling you, don't agree blindly this time, otherwise, I'll scratch your face." Ms. Lu threatened Father Gu.
She also knew that the old man and Gu Xiu were not much different in age. They had been playing together since childhood, and their relationship was extraordinary. But this Gu Xiu looked really unlikable. Not only did she dislike the poor and love the rich, she also liked to take advantage of them.
Dad Gu kept saying yes. In fact, he was quite annoyed with his eldest sister, while Gu Wan pursed her lips and smiled.
"Ouch! Is the Changqing family at home?"
At this time, a strange woman's voice came from the courtyard. Gu Chengyu heard it even in his own room. The voice was unfamiliar and he probably didn't recognize it.
He walked to the window, took a look in the yard, and found a woman in bright clothes. She was about forty years old, but she was wearing red and green. The material on her body was fine cotton, and she even had white powder on her face.
Wearing a handkerchief and touching the silver hairpin on her head with one hand from time to time, Gu Chengyu concluded that the family must be living a good life, which could be seen from the woman's strong body.
"Which one is it? Come in quickly." Mrs. Lu couldn't hear the sound, but she could name her family. She always knew her. As she replied, she opened the lattice window wider to see the yard.
Who is in there?
Looking at it this way, it turned out to be her. The woman had almost reached the main room. Mrs. Lu hurriedly asked Gu Wan to take off the needle and thread and asked her to go back to her room to do some sewing.
"Mom! Who is it?" Gu Wan asked curiously, especially since her mother wanted her to avoid her.
"You girl, what are you asking? Why don't you go back to your own room and learn the rules from your mute grandma? Isn't it time yet?" I learned needlework in the morning, and I will learn writing and rules in the afternoon.
Gu Wan had no choice but to pack up her things and walk out the door, when she met the woman head-on.
"Oh! This is Sister Wan of the Gu family, right? She is really a big girl! The longer she gets, the more beautiful she becomes?" The woman smiled and scanned Gu Wan from top to bottom, with a look of regret in her eyes. It was a pity.
The kiss has already been arranged.
When Gu Wan saw the woman, she realized what she was here for. She called out to Aunt Tao, blushed with embarrassment, and ran back to her house.
"What are you so shy about? When you see your aunt, you can run faster than a rabbit." Aunt Tao joked before entering the main room.
"It turns out that Aunt Tao is here. Come and sit on the kang and drink tea!" When Mrs. Lu saw that she was here, she immediately made room for her.
When Dad Gu saw this, he had no choice but to stand up and said, "You two chat while I go to the fields." Even a grown man like him was too embarrassed to stay in the house. He wanted to avoid suspicion when a woman came.
,
Aunt Tao was not polite. She sat down on the kang and started scolding, "You are so mean! You don't know how to take care of me even if you have something good to do."
"How do you say this? Didn't the third son look for you when he married his wife and got engaged to Sister Wan? We are all old acquaintances. You are a cheerful person and we love to deal with you. But recently, there is no one in our family.
Say goodbye!"
It turned out that this woman was a matchmaker, and there were only two matchmakers in several villages around Shangling Village. This matchmaker was generally recognized as having a good reputation, and what she said was not very different from the facts.
In fact, Mrs. Tao took advantage of both of the Gu family's marriages. In ancient times, there were three matchmakers and six betrothals, and marriage without a matchmaker was never allowed.
Therefore, although both marriages are successful by themselves, they still need to hire a matchmaker to ensure the matchmaking.
"Who said that? Your boss asked someone to marry your eldest granddaughter to your grandson!"
Aunt Tao picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea. Tsk tsk! The Gu family's life is really getting better! This tea is definitely not cheap. She couldn't explain it if I asked her, but the taste is really amazing.
This was the best tea she had ever tasted.
In fact, this is the tea that Gu Chengyu took out from the space, or roasted it himself. It is produced in the space. Is it delicious?
Ms. Lu was a little surprised. She didn't know about the fact that the boss was asking someone to marry her outside. But even if she knew, she wouldn't care. She didn't know a good young man or a young girl, and the eldest brother might not be sure.
I still don’t believe her!
"You have wronged me. The old man's family has separated from ours. His family asked someone to marry him, so I can't interfere, right? You also know that I am just a stepmother, how can I take care of the affairs of the first and second wives?
Son? If you really want to do this business, just go find a big house!"
Mrs. Lu doesn't want to take care of it. If it's good, it doesn't matter. If it's not good, then it's her fault. She only takes care of it when she's full!
Aunt Tao was not angry after hearing this, "Don't I know your situation? I'll just say that. The main reason I came here is to marry your boy. Your fourth child is already fourteen now, right?
?Aren’t you ready to say goodbye?”
Aunt Tao didn't come here just for the big house. There are still three people in the Gu family who are not married! Gu Wan doesn't want to think about it anymore, but aren't there two others? Besides, she came here today on an entrustment.
"Didn't the fourth child of my family follow Li Lang in Chinese medicine? Langzhong Li said that he has a daughter who has a family friend and wants to give it to the fourth child, but he doesn't know if it will work."
In fact, what Li Langzhong wanted to tell Gu Chengchi was the daughter of his son-in-law's second aunt. She happened to be thirteen this year, and she would come to see her in the next two days.
Mr. Li's son-in-law's second aunt's family is living a good life. They have thirty or forty acres of land. They are a well-to-do family. Mr. Lu is still satisfied with it at the moment. We have to look at the rest before talking about it.
"What? Congratulations!" Mrs. Tao was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the fourth child of the Gu family was already looking at each other.
"I don't know if it will work, so don't talk too much outside. If it doesn't work, I will ask you to be a matchmaker."
Mrs. Lu was afraid that Mrs. Tao would pester her if she didn't tell her. If she did tell Mrs. Tao, she was afraid that Mrs. Tao would talk nonsense outside, so she could only hang it with a sweet date.
As for whether it would succeed or not, that was not something she could predict, right? However, Mr. Li said that the daughter of that family was good-natured and smart, so she could still trust Mr. Li.
Mrs. Tao hurriedly agreed, and then said: "Your fourth son said that we are getting married, but your scholar hasn't said it yet?"
"What? Xiaobao is still young! Why do you think of kissing me when you are only eight years old? Are you kidding me?"
Mrs. Lu was extremely surprised. Mrs. Tao is not going to talk about getting married today and will not give up, right? She is also targeting Xiaobao?
"What does it have to do with getting engaged first? I do have a good candidate!" Mrs. Tao has gone through such detours for so long. Mrs. Lu has rejected her twice, so she can't refuse this time, right? Although the Gu family is not what it used to be.
, but the person she mentioned is not bad either!
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she finally realized that Aunt Tao's target today might be Xiaobao, but she would never allow it.
"I'm not going to hide it from you, my little baby is still young! I can't tell him a wife so early, without letting him change his temperament. Besides, it's the time for him to study hard now, and there is no further progress.
I hope that I will never find him a wife before he is eighteen."
