Chapter 217 The Second Brother Gu’s Secret (3)
This time, she was bought as a daughter-in-law. She thought she would have a place to settle down, but she didn't expect that she would be divorced after only three days.

Speaking of it, it was also because she hadn't had a full meal for a long time. She thought that she was the daughter-in-law of this family, and she could earn a meal for herself by doing more work in the future, so she didn't care His own mouth ended up eating half a month's rations for the family of three in three days, which angered his in-laws and divorced her.

She looked at the girl with a noble temperament but a very kind attitude in front of her, and said in disbelief, "I... I can eat very well!"

Gu Qingmei smiled and said: "It's okay, my family has a lot of food, but I can't support you for nothing, you have to work for me."

Shen Mingyao hurriedly said: "I... I can do all kinds of work, chopping firewood, carrying water, cooking, and all kinds of housework."

"Get up, don't kneel here." After Gu Qingmei finished speaking, she turned around and left. "follow me!"

Shen Mingyao hurriedly got up from the ground, without even looking at her ex-mother-in-law, she followed her in a hurry.

What she asked for was actually very simple, just enough to eat.

Gu Qingmei took her home and ordered Gu Shaoya to boil water for her and let her take a bath. Since she looked about the same size as Gu Shaoya, she gave her one of Gu Shaoya's clothes and put them on Just put it on first.

When she cleaned up neatly and was brought to Gu Qingmei by Yun Shen, Gu Qingmei's eyes lit up. Where was the woman who was crying so embarrassingly before her eyes, she was clearly a beautiful little beauty.

Although this little woman has suffered a lot, the skin on her face is still fragile. A melon-shaped face has delicate and delicate facial features, a small nose and a small mouth, but a pair of clear eyes.

She was wearing a peach-red short jacket, which made her skin tender, white and rosy, like a delicious fruit, eager to be bitten by others.

Sitting behind the desk, Gu Qingmei smiled at her and said, "Come here, hold out your hand and let me have a look!"

Shen Mingyao came over timidly, stretched out two small hands, and held them in front of her eyes.

Gu Qingmei looked at her hands, frowned slightly, and saw that her small hands that were supposed to be pink were full of cracks and thin calluses from long-term rough work, which did not match her appearance at all.

"Shaoya, ask Yun Shen for some money tomorrow, and take her to Second Brother Wang's place to have a look, please take her pulse, and then ask Second Brother Wang to give you a prescription for caring for your hands." For women, beauty comes first, She didn't want the girl next to her to startle people by stretching out her hand.

Shen Mingyao asked earnestly: "Then what will I do in the future?"

Gu Qingmei asked: "What will you do?"

"Chopping firewood, carrying water, cooking..." Shen Mingyao said in a low voice. She has been sold here and there all these years, and she doesn't have time to calm down and learn sewing. All she does is rough work.

Gu Qingmei thought for a while, and the little brother of the Su family did all the work of chopping firewood and carrying water. As for cooking... Her mother and eldest aunt obviously didn't have the consciousness to be a housewife, so they spent all day in the kitchen helping Qu's cooking together, there is no shortage of people in the kitchen.

The reason why I kept her was that when I went back to the capital, there would be no one to use her, and I really didn't need her to do anything for the time being, so I said: "Then you should be responsible for cleaning the yard first, and wait for your hands to be taken care of." Yes, just help with washing and washing clothes. I will give you two taels of silver a month, including food and lodging."

Gu Qingmei said to Gu Shaoya again: "Go to the kitchen and tell Mrs. Su that there is a servant girl who eats a lot at home, and cook for her according to the amount of three people... no, according to the amount of food for five people."

Gu Shaoya agreed and ran to spread the word.

That night, Shen Mingyao's appetite shocked Gu Qingmei.

Ever since she moved into the new house, Gu Qingmei didn't like to go to the hall to eat. Every day, she only asked people to bring the food to her, and then ate with Yun Shen and Gu Shaoya. As for the sisters of the Su family, she sent them away every day when eating They went back to accompany Qu Shi.

Anyway, in her own home, there is no possibility of any danger, so there is no need for the two sisters to follow her.

The food in front of Shen Mingyao was obviously more than the sum of the other three women. She was holding the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other hand, taking small bites, and quickly put the sharp points in a large bowl. After eating a bowl of rice, there was not a single grain left, and all the vegetables were swept into the stomach.

At the beginning, Gu Qingmei was skeptical that she could feed three people by herself. She always felt that her mother-in-law's family was too stingy, and even her daughter-in-law was unwilling to raise her. Now it seems that with her appetite, ordinary farmers It is really difficult for people to raise them.

After she put down her chopsticks, she said to Yun Shen: "Yun Shen, I will pay ten taels of silver tomorrow to ask Mrs. Su to go to the village to collect some grain and come back. When this winter is over, the cabbage and potatoes for the winter will be doubled." .”

The rankings were released on August 29th. In the morning, a group of officers and soldiers appeared beating on the boring gong, shouting to announce the good news to Gu Qingyang, saying that Gu Qingyang won the election, and that he was the first name Jieyuan.

The Gu family was naturally overjoyed.

Gu Qingmei knew a long time ago that under the interference of the Fourth Prince, this was already a foregone conclusion.

Of course, her fourth brother is also a person with real talents.

She had already asked Yun Shen to prepare the reward money, a 50 tael silver note, and gave it to the person who announced the good news without blinking an eye.

The person who announced the good news almost fainted when he saw the number on the bank note, and thanked him repeatedly.

Gu Qingmei hurriedly asked her father to go out to buy firecrackers, and after setting them off for a while, a floating mat was set up in the new house the next day.

The money was spent like running water, but she didn't feel bad at all.

On the other hand, Liu Xinyi also sent her second son to report, and Liu Jinzhong was also selected.

When Gu Liu heard the news, she hurriedly collected 100 taels of private house money, which was left over from building the house, and Gu Qingmei didn't ask for it back, so she gave it all to her as private house money.

She took out all her private money and gave it to her nephew to bring to her sister, so that her sister could also hold a decent dinner.

After Gu Qingyang won the exam, Gu Qingtang who went out to guard the darts finally came back.

Every time he came back from the escort, he habitually went home to visit his parents, and this time was no exception.

Hearing the news of his return, Gu Qingmei hurried to her parents' yard.

Although there is already a reception hall at home, and three living rooms have been built with one front and two sides, but there is no need for my family.

When Gu Qingmei came to her parents' room, she heard Gu Liushi praising her fourth son, "Your fourth brother is the most promising. This time he won the first name Jieyuan, which can be regarded as the glory of the ancestors. Everyone in the village is envious I'm so jealous, these days not only our village, but even other villages, many people have come to listen to my words, saying that the fourth child is already a juren, and it doesn't look good to just marry a daughter-in-law in the family, and they want to put their own daughters Come and be a concubine."
