The house has not prepared so much food, so it will definitely not be enough for the two bedrooms. Just call the eldest and the second child, and the food should be enough.
"Hey! Then I'll go inside and talk to his mother." Gu Chengli quickly agreed happily, then turned around and went to the east wing.
Mrs. Lu was a little unhappy, and her originally smiling face became a little stern.
This was a rare moment to get together. If she called the eldest brother, she had nothing to say. But if she called the eldest brother, what about the second child? If she and the second child sat at the same table to eat again, she was afraid that she would not be able to eat.
"Second brother, let me go and ask." Father Gu also saw that Lu's face was not good, so he could only say it bravely.
Mrs. Lu pulled Gu Chengyu and Gu Wan into the main room angrily.
Gu Chengyu quickly stepped forward to comfort him, "It's a rare occasion, don't be angry! We've already separated. Even if he doesn't like me anymore, there's nothing to say."
Gu Chengyi has always been Father Gu's son, and since we are all in the same courtyard, it is impossible not to bump into each other all the time.
"Second sister! I brought you some materials and jewelry this time in the capital. I even bought the red cloth for the wedding dress." Gu Chengyu changed the topic and listed the things he bought in the capital one by one.
Women always like these things. Sure enough, when they talked about these things, Lu and Gu Wan started to discuss them with great interest. They also said that after dinner, they would take care of things. They had already discussed the wedding day with the Sun family.
Okay, let’s set it on the eighth day of the lunar month, half a month from now.
It is now September, and the weather has become much cooler. Gu Wan will not feel cold even if she wears layers of wedding clothes next month. It gets cold early in the north, and it is already approaching early winter.
"Mom! I definitely don't have time to make the wedding dress by myself, so why not let the embroiderer in my shop help me embroider it!"
Because he was going to the capital before, Lu asked Gu Chengyu to look out for better red cloth in the capital. Gu Chengyu took out the red cloth in the space and lied that it was bought in the capital.
Marriage is the most important thing in a woman's life. As long as the family is wealthy, they will dress the girl in red silk and make a wedding dress and hijab.
Therefore, the wedding dress was somewhat delayed. However, even for girls from wealthy families, not all wedding dresses were embroidered by themselves. Some of the girls who were not good at needlework would ask the girls who were waiting around to embroider them. After the wedding dress was embroidered,
If a few stitches are added to the clothes, it will be regarded as embroidered by her.
It is very complicated to embroider a wedding dress. From cutting to sewing to embroidery, it takes a lot of effort. Wealthy people will also use gold and silver threads to embroider. If they add some pearls or gems on it, it will be very beautiful.
Even slower.
A good wedding dress can be left as a dowry for future generations. Of course, those with money will not wear it again and will only keep it at the bottom of the box.
"Then the embroiderer is called to do it. When you get married, your mother-in-law and brother Xian will have to make your shoes and underwear. Do you make more of them on weekdays?"
In fact, there are only two people in the Sun family, so Gu Wan doesn't have to fight so many fronts, so it's easy.
"It's been prepared a long time ago." Gu Wan said with a blush.
"I bought gold and silver threads and some pearls in the capital. You can use them in your wedding dress."
"Isn't it too luxurious? Just keep those good things for yourself. You will also get a wife in the future."
Gu Wan knew that her younger brother had always been generous to her, but she was also afraid that Xiaobao would be used to being lavish and would not be able to save any money.
"I still have some." When it came to marrying a wife, Gu Chengyu's face became a little stiff, but he didn't hesitate for a while and was forgotten by him.
"Mom, let me serve the food." Father Gu called Gu Chengyi. He thought he would not agree, but the second child agreed.
Since we separated, we have only had a reunion dinner together during the Chinese New Year. Dad Gu still hopes that the family can be more lively.
Gu Chengyu was not at home, so there were only three people eating at home, which was extremely deserted.
Although Mrs. Lu was dissatisfied, she stood up and went to the kitchen to ask her mother-in-law to bring the food.
Gu Chengyi came to the table, talked to Gu Chengyu for the first time, and congratulated Gu Chengyu on becoming a civil servant. Gu Chengyu replied and ignored him.
Maybe he was thinking of taking advantage of it, so he just improvised. The first thing Gu Chengyu thought of was the tax-free land. Gu Chengyi probably wanted to put the land in his name.
However, this is also a guess. Anyway, this second brother hates him so much, and if he treats him a little nicely, Gu Chengyu will think of his unprofitable temperament, and he doesn't know what he wants to take advantage of.
The originally warm dining table became a little quieter with the addition of the second child.
"Xiaobao! How big is the capital?" Gu Chengli was a little curious about the capital. He had never been to a place further than the county seat and couldn't imagine what the capital was like.
"I only went to a few places this time. I read in the inn every day and walked around nearby. When I go to the capital, I will write a letter home and tell you about the scenery. Call me
Lang and others will read it to you. If you want to see something, you can also write to me and I will ask Mingmo to pick you up."
When his mother, Lu, was a girl, she could never go out or step out of the second door, and she had never been to the capital. When he was admitted to the imperial examination, he would take his parents to live in the capital for as long as he wanted.
If you get impatient, send them back again.
Gu Chengyi paused while picking up the vegetables, and then curled his lips. It was very possible that his second son would one day be admitted to the Juren Examination, or even become a Jinshi.
Because Gu Chengyu didn't tell his family about the danger on the ship, everyone focused on the customs of the capital and asked about the exam.
By now, as long as Gu Chengyi didn't interrupt, the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.
"When will Xiaobao go to Fucheng? Your second sister's things are still not enough. I'm going to Fucheng to give her the rest. The things in the county town are still much worse than those in Fucheng."
"I plan to go to the town to pay my respects to Mr. Wen tomorrow. I also have an appointment with some classmates, so let's go the day after tomorrow! I happen to be passing by the county town to deliver a message to Shopkeeper Liu, and I have to go and say something to Daya and Brother Dongzi.
Let them come and sit down at the table.”
Gu Chengyu planned to set the date ten days later, and he would have to go to Wang Qikai and the others tomorrow, and Mrs. Wen would have to prepare some gifts to send.
Wang Qikai and You Siyuan did not pass the scholar examination this year. He will leave for the capital in more than a month, so they need to meet early.
There will definitely be a banquet for his family in a few days. The second sister will also have a banquet for her wedding. He has to go to town to deliver the post. Shopkeepers Zhou and Pan will both come to the banquet.
In fact, how can it be so easy to be a scholar? Needless to say, Gu Chengyu cannot judge according to common sense. Sun Xian has accumulated a lot of experience.
As for Ye Zhiqiu, he was originally the most promising student of the Master before Gu Chengyu left. It was surprising that three scholars were admitted to one school.
Not to mention that they have already been elected, which is even more extraordinary. The door of Master Wen's private school is probably going to be trampled to pieces.
"Mom, what else do you want to buy?" Now that the eldest brother and the second brother are here, Gu Chengyu can't reveal the furniture that he has already ordered. Besides, he still needs to buy some new houses in the village. After all, he still has to live in them when he comes back, right?
"Lao Wu! If you go to the capital to go to school, why don't you take Erlang with you!"
Gu Chengyi originally only focused on eating vegetables, but when the food was almost done, he said this. He wanted to talk with more like-minded people about the path of a peasant family to get rich, and watch the imperial examination on "Youdu", talk about life, and find a confidant 4
