Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 14 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival
"Isn't it interesting?" Gu Erzhu glanced at his old son who was wondering what he was thinking, "Your grandfather pushed me, and you pushed me back."

You're not pushing me, you're teasing me, so much so that my grandma almost broke the dishes.Gu Wenxuan smiled and nodded, followed Gu Erzhu into the middle room of the east wing.

As soon as I entered the room, my mother, sister-in-law, younger sister, and nephew Xiao Changsuo had all returned from the kitchen after dinner and were busy cutting red paper and tying red strings.

When a sister-in-law is here and she acts as a brother-in-law, let alone ancient times, even in modern times, one should pay attention to things that should be avoided.Gu Wenxuan quickly took two steps back and stood at the door of the room.

Gu Erzhu in front also quickly stopped and said that he and I had finished eating. If anything happened, he would be right next door. Then he picked up his eldest grandson and evacuated without saying a word.

Ms. Liu responded and saw her daughter-in-law Ma Shan whispering that she had packed everything and wanted to go out. She glared at her daughter-in-law and said, "Don't even think about leaving. Count the money to cover the bride price."

Ma Shan chuckled lightly, "I'm not worried about you and dad being partial. Tomorrow it will be our turn to work in this room. They have all eaten. I will go and help auntie first."

"I'll go with my sister-in-law." Baoya jumped off the kang neatly and winked at her mother, "I'm young and easy to talk to. Let's see who dares to be reluctant to use his own daughter-in-law."

Ghost girl!
Ma Shan pinched her sister-in-law's cheek gently and said, "Let's go. Mom, you don't have to worry about me. Liu Lang is no different from my biological brother. I'm not that short-sighted."

Naturally we know this.If she was a coward, she and the child's father would not have bothered to ask for this eldest daughter-in-law for their eldest son.Ms. Liu nodded happily and watched their sister-in-law leave.

Thinking about it, she neatly wrapped a red envelope worth 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-pressing money.

I checked again and checked the ruler, scale, scissors, abacus, mirror, plus the box and bride price that I need to bring to the door tomorrow. They are exactly the eight items required for a betrothal gift.

The remaining wedding cakes, wine, sugar, clothing materials and other things are ready. All we have to do tomorrow morning is tie a red string on the meat brought by my sister-in-law and bring it to the door to hire.

Logically speaking, since the mother-in-law is in charge of the house, the child's grandmother should prepare these things... Just as she thought about her mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu heard Mrs. Gu coming outside.

"Mom, why don't you come after me?" Looking at the old woman coming angrily from the door, Gu Erzhu happily stepped forward and pulled Mrs. Gu into her grandson's house.

This shameless son!Mrs. Gu laughed angrily, nodded towards her grandson and great-grandson who greeted her, and glared at her son sideways, "Are you ready for tomorrow's gift?"

"Okay, you can't go wrong with those few things." Gu Erzhu pushed Old Mrs. Gu to sit on the edge of the Kang, "I don't have enough money, mother, Liu Lang still needs one..."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Gu was so frightened that she quickly interrupted, "I'll call you mother." After saying that, she looked at her tall grandson and secretly sighed that she needed a lot of fabric.

Gu Wenxuan felt chills running down his spine when Mrs. Gu looked at her, but it was difficult to interrupt and undermine his father.Besides, when the children and grandchildren in the family get married, there are new ones and old ones.

If he dares to say no now, his father will suspect that he is possessed by a ghost.Fortunately, when mother came, his eyes were averted.It was such an interesting day.

"Mom, don't blame me for asking for you again. My eldest brother and I are different. My father loves my eldest brother, and you are the only one who loves me. If I don't look for you, who else can I look for?"

"Everyone is a grandpa." Mrs. Gu squinted at her son with a look of disgust, "There are four boys, including six boys. I'll go take a look with your wife first."

Just take a good look.

Look at the seven taels of silver you gave me. No, I almost forgot to pay back a hundred wen when I came back. Your daughter-in-law has prepared so many good things for you this time and put them in the house.

"Six Lang."

Aunt?

Mr. Gu and his wife have four sons and two daughters. The youngest daughter, Gu Yuling, is the eldest son and grandson of the Zhou clan in the same village, and is less than 500 meters away from her parents' family.

Near is closer.Although her natal husband’s family lived in the same village, and the uncle’s family did not prevent the daughter-in-law from returning to her natal home frequently, no one who was the daughter-in-law would go to her natal home several times a day on weekdays.

Especially now that it's getting dark and my uncle hasn't come with me yet.The sound sounded cheerful, not like a couple quarreling and running back to their parents' house, but more like something lively to watch.

"Where are you going? Go back with me quickly. I'm telling you a happy event about you. If you don't listen, wait until tomorrow. Don't say that I didn't tell you in advance."

happy event?

Patriarch Zhou’s tone is quite strict.

"Why don't you ask me what the happy event is? You boring gourd, you are very boring. Ask me quickly. If you ask me, I will tell you immediately, or I will beat you!"

Look at this lively person, who is in his early thirties. There are many people in the village who are getting married early and are about to become grandmothers. No wonder he is always slapped on the back by his aunt.

Gu Wenxuan watched Gu Yuling clenched her right hand and waved it at him, which made him laugh dumbly. The only thing that made him laugh was that he didn't ask about the happy event.

"Mom, you are with the second brother. Let me enter the house first. First, brother Si Shun and his wife brought two bags of snacks to my house."

Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes at the old girl with frizzy eyes.

"You must have no idea why he and his wife came to my house." Gu Yuling waited, and all the people in the room nodded but did not answer.

It’s so boring!

Okay, let's go on. "Brother Sishun asked my mother-in-law to be the one to sew the wedding quilt, and also asked my mother-in-law and the others to help me come to my house to receive the gifts tomorrow."

Mrs. Gu was stunned.

"Look! Fortunately, I took Liulang to find Uncle (Gu Patriarch) before." Gu Erzhu was proud, "I guess Zhou Laosi will not give up."

"No, the second brother guessed it correctly." Gu Yuling looked at Gu Erzhu with admiration, "Brother Si Shun said he owed his family Sanya too much and wanted to ask for a good omen for the child.

I also heard from your brother-in-law that Brother Sishun asked his grandfather privately to find out if any family in our village was short of money and wanted to transfer their land, and he wanted to buy a land dowry for his family's Sanya. "

"What?"

what!
Are you stunned all of a sudden?Gu Yuling raised her eyebrows and raised her chin, "I told you that I want to buy high-quality land, but I can't find high-quality land, and medium-grade land will do.

When I came, grandpa praised Brother Sishun for finally doing something serious.If Sanya had a field to marry into our family, my father would not disdain her for being a maid. "

"Hey, that's what I said! What happened to the maid? She has been working in the sewing room since she was a child, and she is the savior of the old lady in the mansion. What's wrong? If the child hadn't wanted to come back..." Gu Erzhu quickly covered his mouth, "Dang I was confused and didn’t say anything.”

"You know a lot!" Mrs. Gu stood on tiptoes and reached out to pinch her son's ears. "I told you that you were so anxious yesterday that you couldn't wait for a moment."

"Hey~ Mom, the child is still here. What bad thoughts can I have? I have to submit the dowry list and marriage certificate to the Yamen for filing. As a father-in-law, can I still steal my daughter-in-law's dowry?"

Gu Erzhu stopped clicking and immediately looked at Gu Yuling, "Sister, what the second brother said is fine for you and your brother-in-law to say privately, but not for outsiders, do you understand?"
