Aunt Wang was not sure whether Gu Chengyu would go. After all, Gu Chengyu was very busy. Besides, they were all in office, so they might not like such a banquet.
"I will definitely go to Brother Gou Sheng's wedding. If nothing happens that day, of course I will go to get a wedding drink."
Gu Chengyu's answer made Aunt Wang couldn't help but be happy. What an honor it was to be able to invite the Master of Juren to sit at the table? It was an enviable thing to say.
Aunt Wang smiled even more happily!
Gu Chengyu was a little curious as to which family the girl was from, "I wonder which family the girl is from, Brother Gou Sheng is talking about?"
"That girl is not too far away. By coincidence, she is also very close to your aunt's house, which is from the same village! The brother in the family used to be a human being, but now works as a bookkeeper in the town. The girl seems to be a
He is well-behaved and is good at cooking.”
"Oh? That's a coincidence." As he said this, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He hoped it wasn't what he thought.
"Is that girl's surname Huang?"
"Exactly! I didn't expect you to guess it? Her brother was here before! He lived at Brother Hua's house for a while, but I don't know when he went back. I only met him once. It's a pity that I don't know my fingers.
What happened, a section was broken. Otherwise, I might have been admitted as a scholar, just listen to what others say! Now, I can only work as an accountant in Huaihe Town."
Aunt Wang still had a look of regret on her face. If she really got admitted as a scholar, her family would definitely be honored!
Gu Chengyu really wanted to say something at this moment, "What a shame!"
After going round and round, it turned out to be involved with Huang Ming again. How small is the Dayan Dynasty? This is simply a lingering ghost.
The question now is, is this a coincidence or intentional?
"That's a coincidence. I wonder who was the matchmaker?" Gu Chengyu began to speculate. Could it be that someone knew about his affair with Huang Ming and was ready to take advantage of it?
"Who else could it be? Our matchmaker! When Mr. Huang heard that we were from Shangling Village, he immediately agreed! In the past few years, the head of our family has worked with your family and earned a lot of money every year.
After Haosheng bought some land, Mr. Huang thought that our family's life was not bad, and our village had a scholar like you, so he agreed! At that time, you were not a candidate!"
Gu Chengyu only listened with a smile, without showing anything on his face.
Aunt Wang said more than she wanted to, and then added: "Since you were admitted as a scholar, the boys in our village have no worries about finding a wife! Now that you have become a scholar again, the boys and girls in our village have become popular.
.”
The corners of Gu Chengyu's mouth twitched, but he could actually understand.
If there is any dispute between two villages, it must be the village with a good reputation and a greater advantage, such as farmland irrigation.
There is a river in their village that runs through several villages, and their village is right in the middle of the river.
If you want to divert water to farmland for irrigation, you have to rely on river water to flow into the field, and then flow along the ditches to the farmland of each household. If the upstream is intercepted, of course the river water will not stay.
Therefore, the village in the upper reaches will definitely have the most advantage. If there is any bad talk between any village and the village in the upper reaches, the two villages will definitely be in chaos.
No, not just two villages, but several villages below may be in chaos, and in severe cases, fighting may break out.
It's not like this has never happened before, but it all happened when Gu Chengyu was just born. Several villages almost started fighting, but then the villages upstream had to make concessions and the fight stopped.
The villages upstream are not stupid either. If several villages fight with them, they will definitely suffer.
At this time, if there is a scholar or a scholar in any village who stands up, there will be no fight. Scholars do not have to kneel when they meet the county magistrate. It is indeed nothing in the capital, but it still works in this countryside.
"Aunt Tao can actually be a matchmaker for Huaihe Town next door? She is really becoming more and more famous!"
Gu Chengyu wanted to know whether this was Huang Minglu's suggestion or a coincidence.
"Your Aunt Tao is really powerful. You have been to eight villages and towns around here! She also goes to Huaihe Town often! There are several families there."
In that case, maybe it was really a coincidence before. However, it is unclear why Huang Ming agreed to the marriage when he heard it was Shangling Village.
After that, Aunt Tao talked about how the two families looked at each other.
Gu Chengyu has never met Huang Ming's sister, and he doesn't know what her character is like. This is Aunt Wang's family matter, and he can't deny his sister just because of Huang Ming.
Besides, the two families were about to get married, and it was too late for him to stop them.
No matter what Huang Ming's thoughts are, he will stop them with troops and cover them with water and earth.
Aunt Wang started talking, but suddenly stopped, looking at Gu Chengyu who hesitated to speak, looking a little embarrassed.
"There is something, I don't know whether to say it or not!"
Gu Chengyu was a little confused. Did he want him to find a job for Brother Gou Sheng?
Also, Brother Gou Sheng is still digging for food in the fields now. It is not impossible to find a job. Gu Chengyu thought about it and found that it is not easy to find a job for those who are illiterate.
"Auntie, are you polite to me? Just tell me what you have to say."
Aunt Wang hesitated and said, "Your second brother, you should be more careful lately."
She was a little embarrassed to tell such a thing to a little baby. But Father Gu and Mrs. Lu seemed to be unable to control the second child. If something happened in the future, wouldn't it affect Little Bao?
Gu Chengyu didn't expect that Aunt Wang didn't talk about Gou Sheng looking for a job, but actually talked about her second brother.
However, he had a bad relationship with his second brother, and Aunt Wang also knew about it, so why did she suddenly start talking to him? Logically speaking, shouldn't she talk to Lu and the others?
"What's the matter with my second brother?"
"Well! Your second brother may be very close to Wang Yueniang. You should pay more attention." Aunt Wang still felt embarrassed and spoke in a cryptic way.
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised. Could it be that his second brother and Wang Yueniang had some conspiracy? His first reaction was that Wang Yueniang hated him and his mother and wanted to plot against him with his second brother.
"How did you say this? How did Auntie know about it? It's not that I don't believe Auntie, I'm just wondering how Auntie knew about it?"
Gu Chengyu felt that such a conspiracy must be secret, so how did Aunt Wang know about it?
"Didn't you see that? I've noticed it several times in the past few years. Your mother said that your father went to your second brother and talked about it, and then it stopped. But in the past few days, I was watching
It's good again? I don't know when it was good again. The two of them are more cautious than before. I just saw it by chance. Don't take it seriously! If people find out, it will affect you.
Family reputation."
Aunt Wang saw that Gu Chengyu didn't seem to care, so she gave a few more instructions.
"What? It's better?" Gu Chengyu was extremely surprised. He really didn't think about it just now.
The main reason is that Wang Yueniang is not very pretty, and his second brother has money. If he really wants to find a woman, he can't find Wang Yueniang, right? 11
