Chapter 14 Ma Shi's Dissatisfaction

"But what?" Madam Ma hesitated to speak to Zhuxiang, her heart seemed to be caught in her silent mouth.Zhu Xiang had spoken eight points, although the last two points were the most important, she still couldn't hold back: "Which three families don't know, but you were away a few days ago, and invited many girls to talk."

Mrs. Ma hated it like a thunderclap in her heart. She offered advice to Mrs. Guo. Although she got someone who wanted to "not have any relatives and no acquaintances", Ma, who was peeping at the Guo family's money, certainly would not stand still. She hurried back to her natal home to find a way out, but when she didn't want to come back, she heard a thunderbolt on such a sunny day.

"Which ones are they, do you remember?" Mrs. Ma was burning with anxiety, Zhu Xiang frowned earnestly, remembering for Mrs. Ma and herself, and she reported it sadly: "There are Wang's family, Zhao's family...and ours. In the Zhou family in this city, the girl from the Zhou family even went to see the young master, and sent several ginseng branches, specifying that it was for the young master."

"Shameless girl!" Madam Ma scolded painfully, she suddenly became clear, and felt that she understood very well.It turns out that the girl from the Zhou family also had this idea?I bother!

Pretending to persuade Zhuxiang a few words, Ma Shi reasoned that he would go back late at night.Leaving Zhuxiang, his face turned purple with anger, he was muttering about who to scold, and saw a reflection in the water, which seemed to be crying.

Which one is this?
Lan Xiang was crying happily on the water's edge when she saw Ma Shi coming.Ma Shi's brain is not enough at the moment, but fortunately her idea is to prepare it when she comes.I persuaded Lan Xiang a few words, and said to her: "If anyone is crying here, it is better to serve, why don't you? This is not good. Lan Xiang, good girl, third grandma, I am worried that I can't sleep day and night, and I want to find you for my son. A marriage that can be guarded. I think you are the beloved girl of the sister-in-law, and one day you will get along together, please give me some pointers."

After saying these words, Mrs. Ma walked back home quickly to discuss with her husband.

The third child in the ninth house of the Guo family married by Mrs. Ma was named Guo Youtie.There is a son and a daughter under the knees, and this generation is named Mu Zipang. Mrs. Ma loves to eat wolfberry buds, so the son is named Guo Qi.Guo Gou is not very popular.Daughter, wish her all the best and call her wishful.

This is a small yard, although it is not big, it is full of flowers and trees.The grape trellis in the courtyard has just come down, revealing the bare bamboo frame. At first glance, it looks like a decent family.

There is no great wealth, but there is also a monthly surplus.The host, Guo Youtie, was very satisfied. Holding a wine glass in his hand and two dishes of side dishes in front of him, he was talking to his son dizzily: "Study hard, don't pass the exam, as long as you know how to calculate the book , as long as you don’t get scammed.”

Mrs. Ma came in from the outside in a hurry, and yelled at the door: "If you don't win the exam, why go to pick up the yellow mud! You pour yellow soup and talk nonsense to the children."

Guo Qi, who was less than ten years old, smiled silently at his elder sister Ruyier who was sitting on the kang and sewed, then shook his head and recited his book: "Master has a saying..."

Ruyi went down to the pit and fetched the shoes her mother wore at home for her to change.Guo Youtie looked at it full of joy: "This is not very good, what's so good about Zhongju. You went out so late to see Brother Pu again. Alas, I'm sorry for his injury. This Zhongju is just not good."

Guo Qi laughed again, and heard Guo Youtie say with a drunken stern look: "Pu Ge is so smart, and a smart person is hopeless if he is confused! From the ancestors, the Guo family is all businessmen, and the fifth uncle is unlucky. What do you mean, you can’t be an official in the Guo family. Brother Pu can study, and he was so dizzy when he was a child. If you want to say that he went to the exam, I went to persuade him. We eat in the shop, and a scholar can suppress ordinary people That's fine. Well, since he went to Beijing and made an official marriage, I know it won't last long."

Guo Youtie complained to himself, he was like an uncle: "After he got injured, I thought about it and thought about it. It's all because I didn't die to stop him!"

Guo Qi and Ruyi'er exchanged another smile, Ma Shi changed her shoes, and changed the brocade and flowered clothes she was wearing when she went out to visit visitors, dusted off the dust, and carefully folded them up for her daughter. and husband theory.

First came up and scolded: "Tomorrow, go to Lao Zhou's house to ask for money! The girls in their family are shameless, but they would make such a shameless idea. If you exchange your daughter's body for money, you must have money, go and ask for money!"

"As soon as you come back, the room is full of you." Guo Youtie just smiled: "Old Zhou is still recovering from illness, I told you that when he recovers, he can earn money to pay back his brains."

Mrs. Ma sneered, and sat across the Kang table.I saw a taste of salted fish on the table, which was my favorite.Not having chopsticks, he took a piece in his mouth and got angry while eating: "No money? No money? The girl from the Zhou family goes to the sister-in-law every day, and a branch of ginseng is given away every day!"

"Is it true?" Guo Youtie couldn't believe it, Ma Shi licked his finger, and said, "If you don't believe me, ask yourself tomorrow." When he turned around and saw his son and daughter were there, Ma Shi let them Go: "Brother Qi, go to bed, let Ruyi go to sleep too." Although Ruyi and Guo Qi wanted to hear it very much, they had to go outside.

Seeing their figures leaving the room, Mrs. Ma went down the pit to follow them and shouted: "Sleep when you get back, the lamp oil is also money." Ruyi'er and Master Qi giggled: "Got it."

Although Mrs. Ma was angry when she came back, Guo Youtie changed her clothes as soon as she entered the door, folded them carefully, and was concerned about the cost of lamp oil, but he still thought his wife was good.Seeing his wife come back and sit down again, Guo Youtie said: "Go get a cup and you can have a cup too. It's cold at night, let you warm up."

Ma Shi rolled his eyes at him once, and only ate vegetables.After eating two mouthfuls, I hurried to talk: "Tomorrow, you go ask for money, if you don't go, I will go! This week's family is the most cunning. They owe more than 3000 taels to people outside, and our family alone owes 500 taels." If you have money to buy ginseng and give it to your sister-in-law, this is clearly pointing to your sister-in-law to help her so that she can make a fortune."

"This is the duty of a businessman, so what if you lose money, you can't just leave it behind. So what if you suffer a disaster, why don't you stop doing it from now on?" Guo Youtie agreed, and said to his wife: "They can't make a fortune anymore, our money Only then will the water float. When you meet the Zhou family and come to borrow money, speak up for them."

Seeing Mrs. Ma's stare, Guo Youtie said in a low voice: "Our family doesn't wait for 500 taels of silver. If you think about it, this is all for the benefit of businessmen. This week, the Zhou family can still owe thousands of taels of silver. , The front is also more than a few thousand taels, if it is a place like the street, how can he afford it!"

"Damn you! You didn't wait for 500 taels of silver, what a frivolous big talk!" Mrs. Ma scolded: "Counting the scraps of copper and iron, I only saved two thousand silver. That's all, it's me. Save it. Once you borrow it, you will be given 500 taels, and you still say that you are not in a hurry!" The more Ma thought about it, the more he didn't like it: "If you are in the family business of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, you can afford to wait for the money!"

She said that she saved a penny, and Guo Youtie's heart softened.Although he worked hard outside, Mrs. Ma was also diligent in housekeeping at home.As soon as he laughed, Ma Shi immediately forced him: "Go ask for money tomorrow, the Zhou family has money to buy ginseng to curry favor with others, why not pay back the money first!"
