Chapter 3
Guo Pu stared at the bronze mirror intently, and Miss Zhou's eyelashes were filled with tears, and she was holding back because she was a guest.Like a lotus after the rain, this is a pretty girl.

"My child, your father was injured, did you suffer a lot?" Hearing this, Mrs. Guo understood why Zhou Fengluan came.She just smiled and comforted: "Don't cry, is your father seriously injured?"

Zhou Fengluan wept bitterly, although it is not good to be a guest, it can arouse sympathy from others.The one opposite is a woman, isn't it?She said sadly: "The doctor said that my father was injured, and it would take half a year to heal. My father was lucky, but he had to bear part of the money that was robbed. There is also the boatman who was injured on the boat. Weeping on the door of my house one by one, asking for money and medicine. My father told me that he was born with Mr. Guo. When he left, he invited his middle-aged people to a banquet, and the old man himself promised that he could come to ask for anything in the future. Feng Luan is bold, so she came here to ask Madam for help to tide over this difficulty, and I will pay back both principal and interest in the future."

Speaking of this, Zhou Fengluan was puzzled, there was always a scent of medicine on the tip of his nose, and there seemed to be light and shadow shining out of the gauze curtain.There is only one famous patient in the Guo family, and that is Mr. Guo Changgong.Could he be peeping inside?Feng Luan didn't believe it, the Guo family would do such a thing, and Mr. Guo Zhang said that he couldn't move, and he had to look at beautiful women.The girls who come and go are all well-born, so there is no need to do indecent things like peeking at others.

There are no three-year-old children here, Guo Pu in the room is the general on the battlefield; Mrs. Guo in the outside room is the mistress of the house.Hearing what Feng Luan said, he knew it well.Being so polite when you come to the door, you don't avoid men and women suspecting Mr. Tan's illness... Courtesy is not for nothing.

"How much silver do you owe in total?" Mrs. Guo asked, so she had a good idea.Feng Luan stood up to thank her, and said in a low voice, "I owe more than 3000 taels in total."

Mrs. Guo calculated very quickly in her mind, the Zhou family is a small businessman, and has always been doing business that earns a hundred taels of silver.This time I thought I was well-informed, and I made an appointment with the National People's Congress, but if I didn't think about it, I was in trouble.In business dealings, one has always been cautious. How long will it take to repay the principal and interest when the money is lent out?

"For the sake of being a neighbor in the city, I beg my wife to see that my father has also served under the old man. Please help me this time. It is a great kindness that Feng Luan will never forget. Only by burning incense every day, Pray for Madam and Eldest Young Master." Feng Luan stared at Madam Guo's expression, and added in a low voice.

Guo Pu wanted to sigh on the bed and pray for me, lest I get better.Mrs. Guo looked Feng Luan Tong'er up and down, with a cautious smile on her face: "Let me think about this matter, you go home first, and when I think it over, someone will invite you."

Mrs. Guo's words were obviously dodging, thinking that Zhou Fengluan would leave wherever he was willing to do so.Yingying saluted again, looking for something to say with a smile on her face: "My father often told me at home that my wife is a heroine among women, who manages the family business internally and manages the business orderly externally. Father often said that the city is full of people. Among them, Feng Luan wants to learn, only Madam is a role model. Today Madam is willing to see me, Feng Luan thinks Madam is kind, and I am reluctant to leave."

Zhou Fengluan, who lowered his head and lightly rubbed his belt, looked embarrassed as a child.Mrs. Guo was all smiles when she heard this, and rushed her and said: "My son, I also hit it off with you, but I still have guests, if I don't have guests, I will stay for a while."

"Then me." Zhou Fengluan raised his face and said with some joy: "I still want to ask Madam for more advice. Is it okay if I wait outside?" Guo Pu in the room also smiled, and his smile caused even more pain on his back.Instead of comforting his family, he never smiled in his room alone.At this time, Guo Pu smiled involuntarily for this clever Miss Zhou.

"You just go back with peace of mind. If you are worried, why don't you come and see me for a few days." Madam Guo also felt that the words of this mouth sounded good. She stood up and took Zhou Fengluan's hand, and went out of the room together. Stand still.Fengluan had no choice but to say goodbye: "Thank you Madam for showing me the face, I will come back later to say hello to Madam." Zhou Fengluan reluctantly left.

Mrs. Guo, who returned to the room, finished seeing the last two girls.Send them away and come in to see their son: "Who is it that you are looking for?" Guo Pu was thoughtful, and Mrs. Guo's heart was like a mirror: "It is Miss Fengluan from the Zhou family, that is, the girl who visited you."

"Mother, my son also wants to get better. My son can't sleep every night, and he wants to go back to the army. But if the son doesn't get better, he will be a useless person for the rest of his life." When Guo Pu said this, Mrs. Guo covered his mouth lightly: " Don't talk nonsense, you must be fine!"

Guo Pu smiled at his mother: "It's just that, I like this girl. I can't bear to hurt her." Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "As long as you like it. Let me tell you, don't say that her family is in disaster now, waiting for money to save her." You have to come from our family; even if she has nothing to do at home, my mother can make her agree to the marriage. Do you have any other girls? If there is, my mother will marry you for you too. Marry one more, and I will serve you It would not be better to divide the day and night shifts."

"No, mother, this one is fine. But mother, please don't force her, she must agree to it." Guo Pu said calmly: "Twisted melons are not sweet."

I was badly injured, and the girl's family was devastated.Guo Pu thought about it, they were all poor people.Why force her.

Mrs. Guo, who got her son's words, left happily.When I went out, I ordered a competent family member to call: "Go and find out what happened to Zhou's family, and what are the consequences?"

After Mrs. Guo left, Guo Pu, who was sleeping on the bed and couldn't move, also called his personal servant: "Go to inquire about the Zhou family, and how about that Miss Zhou? Have you ever engaged? What kind of character and conduct is it?" ?”

After the servant left, Zhou Fengluan's soft and pleasant voice was constantly recalled in Guo Pu's mind.When Mr. Guo Zhang was able to move, he also went to the brothel with his friends, so he was not considered as someone who had never seen a woman.But at this time, he was in the mood after a serious injury, and he only thought that it was enough to be accompanied by such witty words.

Lin'an, the young man, was quite capable of handling errands, and when he came back after going out for half a day, it was time to light the lamp.Guo Pu was eating, and he couldn't move his head or neck at all. The soup was fed with a small spoon, and the servant Chang Ping did the work.Seeing Lin'an coming back, Guo Pu rolled his eyes to signal Chang Ping to stop, he wanted to listen to Lin'an first.

A few arm-thick red candles in the room illuminated the room brightly.Lin'an bowed and stood in front of the young master's bed, and whispered back: "This girl was originally engaged to the Mao family in Xishikou, and the Mao family was in the wine shop business. After the disaster, the Zhou family owed a total of more than six thousand taels of silver. , The Mao family divorced. The Zhou family sold a lot of things to get together 3000 taels, and there was nowhere to find more than 3000 taels, so Miss Zhou came to our family to borrow money."

Guo Pu felt sad, the family saw poverty, and the husband and son-in-law did nothing but resigned.Thinking about Ms. Lu who had never met before, Guo Pu didn't think he hated deeply before.I am already a useless person, and there is no family that watches over their daughter as a widow.Therefore, Guo Pu retired happily. How often will the chaste woman in the book be seen in the world?
