Chapter 186

The Xu family arrived.

Gu Zhen was so nervous that her hands trembled.

If the marriage doesn't work, she'll really be an old girl.

Gu Jiu pinched Gu Zhen's hand. "Big sister, take a deep breath and relax. Think about how mammy taught me. Don't worry. "

Gu Zhen nodded.

Back in the capital, she learned the rules again with Mammy, followed the eldest Aunt Zhang to learn housekeeper and director, and followed her aunt to learn needlework.

Gu Zhen felt that she had made great progress compared with that in Northwest China.

In addition to her status as a commoner, she thought she was no worse than her sisters.

At the second gate, welcome the Xu family.

The eldest wife, Zhang, was very happy. When the two sisters met, they were extremely intimate.

After the greetings, everyone went to the flower hall.

Mrs. Xu swept through the crowd and caught Gu Zhen with her eyes.

Gu Zhen straightened her back in an instant, very nervous.

When we arrived at the flower hall, we sat down.

After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Zhang called the girls in the house to her and introduced them to Mrs. Xu. This paper mainly introduces Gu Zhen.

"Miss Zhen is the eldest girl in the family. The rules, the needlework are all first-class. Since last year, I began to learn housekeeper from me. On weekdays, I went to Hou's house to study and practice calligraphy with my female husband. "

"Oh, are you still going to study in Hou's residence?"

Mrs. Xu was in a good mood.

Gu Zhen bowed slightly and said, "I'll tell Aunt Xu that every afternoon, I'll go to Hou's house with my sisters and follow Mr. Luo to read and practice calligraphy."

"How are you doing?"

Gu Zhen a little embarrassed, "my foundation is poor, study stupid, until now just finished two books."

Mrs. Xu was very satisfied. The daughter-in-law she is looking for doesn't need to read much, as long as she can read and calculate accounts and understand the truth.

Gu Zhen, like her, is more suitable to be a daughter-in-law because she does not devote herself to books and does not make mistakes as a scholar.

Mrs. Xu has been in contact with several girls from the civil service family. She studies with her heart and soul, and her head is stupid. She is not sensitive to such a girl.

Mrs. Xu took Gu Zhen's hand and said, "she knows how to sew, how to manage accounts, and how to read. She is really a good girl. It's a pity to be worthy of our family's Sanlang. "

Gu Zhen instantly blushed, and then she became nervous again.

What did she mean by Mrs. Xu's words? This is satisfied with her or not satisfied with her.

Mrs. Xu brought a gift to meet her today. She glanced at her servant girl, who hastened to give her a gift, a pair of jade bracelets.

Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "I like this child as soon as I look at it. This is a little bit of my heart, but I can't abandon it."

When Gu Zhen saw a pair of jade bracelets, her heart fluttered.

"How can I have such a valuable gift?"

"Take it. You can't say goodbye to a gift from the elderly, understand? " Mrs. Xu insisted on delivering it.

Gu Zhen looks at his eldest wife, Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang laughed, "Jane, aunt Xu really likes you. Take this gift."

Gu Zhen smell speech, this just accept gift, "thank you very much aunt Xu."

"Don't mention it."

Then he exchanged greetings with Xie, "the second wife is very lucky. Several girls are like flowers. He is sensible, courteous, housekeeper and literate. "

Xie's heart is proud, "Mrs. Xu praised falsely. In a family like ours, no matter who comes from the common family or comes out directly, they are all taught the same way. Jane's character, needlework and rules are excellent, and her writing is extremely neat. "

Mrs. Xu nodded to herself, but was not in a hurry to make a decision. And look at it again.

When the elders chatted in the flower hall, the girls took the girls of the Xu family to the wing room for tea and snacks.

Today, Miss Xu Er also came with a task. She had to check for her mother and observe Gu Zhen's private character.

Gu Jiu leads everyone to create a good atmosphere for Gu Zhen, so that Gu Zhen can show her strengths as much as possible.

But unexpectedly, Gu Yue always has a straight face, a pair of unhappy appearance.

Gu Yue didn't say anything, but just with a straight face, she had already let Xu Er girl's head jump in her heart, which made her nervous.

"Is sister Gu San unhappy?"

Gu Yue slightly shook his head, "you misunderstood. I'm not doing it myself. I'm sulking. You don't need to pay attention to me. "

This?

Miss Xu Er looks at Gu Jiu and others.

Gu Zhen twisted her handkerchief and glared angrily at Gu Yue.

What do you mean, you want to ruin her marriage?

Gu Jiu stealthily stops Gu Zhen and forbids Gu Zhen to be rude in front of the guests.

Gu Jiu stood out, "three sisters, if you are not comfortable, it is better to go back to the room and have a rest."

Gu Yue suddenly stood up, "good! I just want to go back to my room. You talk. I'll leave first. "

With that, Gu Yue left the wing room.Gu Zhen secretly guessed that Gu Yue would repeat his old skill and use it in Xu Sanlang's body?

She is not at ease, let servant girl green dress to find aunt Hu, let aunt Hu send someone to mark Gu Yue.

Green took orders and left.

Gu Yue left, in the efforts of Gu Jiu and Gu Shan, the atmosphere in the wing room becomes lively again.

It is also very happy to have tea, eat snacks, talk about interesting things in boudoir, and talk about poems and songs.

Wait until noon, servant girl came to inform the banquet is ready, please move to the small flower hall.

To the small flower hall a look, Gu Yue is not in.

Mrs. Zhang quietly asked Xie, "sister-in-law, what's wrong with three girls?"

Xie was embarrassed for a second, then said as if nothing had happened: "she is not feeling well. She went back to her room to have a rest. I've ordered someone to call her. I'll be here soon. Don't wait for her. "

"All right."

Purple bamboo yard, servant girl grape into the bedroom, "girl, the wife sent people to call you, let you go to the small flower hall to eat the banquet."

"No, No

Gu Yue covered himself in the quilt, and his heart was full of hate and anger.

She would never go to a banquet. I'd rather starve to death.

Grape stammered, "what's wrong with you, girl? Since yesterday, something's wrong with you. Is there anything you can't say to your maidservant? "

"You're so noisy. Shut up."

Gu Yue angrily denounced grape, "if you answer for me, you will say that I am not well, I have no appetite, and I will not eat the banquet."

Grape asked again and again, "girl, don't you really want to eat the banquet?"

Gu Yue sat up from the bed, "do you think I'm joking? Not yet

Grape can't, stamp his feet and run out to answer.

Gu Yue sat at the head of the bed, biting her teeth, as if there was a fire burning in her heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney.

Without Gu Yue, the atmosphere was better.

If Gu Yue is in, she just needs a face to make the whole table quiet. It's a total 10 atmosphere breaker.

A banquet will make the guests and guests happy.

After dinner and a little rest, Mrs. Xu said goodbye.

The eldest wife, Zhang, repeatedly asked them to stay. They were sisters and spoke casually.

"My sister is not satisfied with Jane?"

Mrs. Xu shook her head. "My sister misunderstood me. I'm very satisfied with Jane."

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's better to go back home after dinner. "

Mrs. Xu repeatedly waved her hands, "that's not good. The old lady was still waiting for me to return. I promised to go back after lunch. My sister, understanding my difficulties, will have a wedding party tomorrow, and I promise to keep it with you all day. "

Seeing that Mrs. Xu insists on leaving, Mrs. Zhang can't force her to stay. But if you give me a definite word, what do you mean by the marriage between Jane and your son? "

Mrs. Xu thought about it for a while and said, "to be honest with my sister, Jane is excellent in appearance. It's a pity to match my son. My son, you know, I haven't read a few books. I only know how to dance with knives and guns all day long. It's very vulgar. I'm afraid of wronging Jane. "

The eldest wife, Zhang Shi, laughed, "my sister is really funny. The Xu family is a family of martial generals. If you don't use swords and guns, do you want to read a book every day? "

Mrs. Xu thought for a moment and asked, "does your second wife dislike my son Lang?"

The eldest wife, Zhang, said in a low voice, "you know, the second wife is a concubine who is supporting the right. She doesn't care about the marriage of a common girl. The key is the second master's opinion. "

Mrs. Xu asked, "I don't know if the second master of your family has taken a fancy to my son?"

"I'll have a message for you later. I don't know. I'll know it until I see my master. "

Zhang didn't hide it. He didn't say it clearly.

Mrs. Xu nodded, "if the second master of your family has no objection, I am in favor of this marriage."

Zhang's wife immediately laughed, "that's good. As a relative, our two families can come and go frequently. "

Mrs. Xu nodded happily and got up to leave.

After seeing off the Xu family, Gu Zhen looked longingly at the eldest wife, Zhang.

Zhang said to her, "don't worry, there will be news in a day or two."

Gu Zhen nodded, "thank you very much. I'll make a set of shoes and socks for my great aunt tomorrow. I'll never give up on it. "

"Good boy, what you did, I will never dislike it."

Gu Zhen didn't ask much. She turned back to her room, and she couldn't help thinking.

In the evening, Mrs. Zhang met Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu said directly: "although the scholar of the Xu family is not good, his character is good, and taking the road of military general is also a way out."

Zhang asked him, "does the second brother agree with this marriage?"

Mr. Gu simply nodded, "please tell the Xu family, pick a lucky day to come to propose marriage."Zhang laughed, "great. This marriage has finally come to an end. I didn't work hard for nothing. "

Mr. Gu bowed down and said, "hard sister-in-law."

"You are welcome."

Zhang thought that Mr. Gu had good manners. But when he was young, he was greedy for flowers and lust, and he even righted Xie's concubine. I hope this will not affect his official career.

Three days later, the golden day.

The Xu family invited a matchmaker to go to Gu's house to propose marriage.

For this reason, Mr. Gu took a half day's holiday and waited for the matchmaker to come to his house.

If the two families exchange Geng tie and write down the marriage letter, the marriage is settled.

The matchmaker also said: "the Xu family hopes to get married as soon as possible, and wants to fix the wedding date in July. What does Mr. Gu think?"

Mr. Gu frowned, "this July? Would you be too anxious? It's too hasty to calculate the time and only have more than two months to prepare. "

"No hurry, no hurry," said the matchmaker. Xu's side, should have been ready. If the dowry of your eldest daughter is also ready, it will not be in a hurry to get married in July. "

Mr. Gu coughed slightly. He was embarrassed to say that Gu Zhen's dowry did not even have a shadow. All of them had to be prepared temporarily.

It's hard to avoid resentment against Xie.

As the housewife of the second room, Xie is really incompetent.

Gu Zhen is very old, and she has no dowry. It's disgraceful to talk about it.

Mr. Gu said to the matchmaker, "I'm willing to consider the marriage date. Please tell the Xu family that it's better not to be in such a hurry. It's OK to postpone it for a few months. "

The matchmaker quickly explained, "Mr. Gu doesn't know something. After this year, Mr. Xu's family will go to the north to change defense. I will go there for at least two years. If you don't marry as soon as possible, you will be wronged. "

Mr. Gu was stunned, "is there anything else?"

The matchmaker nodded, "exactly."

Mr. Gu also understood why the Xu family was so anxious to get married.

After a young couple gets married, it takes a little time to get pregnant.

In July, they got married and left Beijing after the new year, so they had half a year's time. If it goes well, we should be able to have a baby in half a year.

In this way, although Xu Sanlang will be away from Beijing for two years, Gu Zhen will not be aggrieved. Anyway, with children around, he will have confidence.

If the marriage date is postponed and Gu Zhen is not pregnant, Xu Sanlang will rush out of Beijing, and Gu Zhen's situation in the Xu family will be a little awkward.

Mr. Gu nodded. "I know about it. The wedding date is set in July."

The matchmaker was overjoyed, "thank you for your understanding. I'm going to see Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu. I'll set a date for the ceremony as soon as possible. "

Seeing off the matchmaker, Mr. Gu came to the Furong courtyard to see Xie.

At this time, the news of Gu Zhending's marriage was spread all over the house as if he had wings.

Gu Zhen, with a red face, went to see Aunt Hu.

"Aunt, I'm so happy. My marriage is finally settled. "

Aunt Hu also followed with a smile, caressing Gu Zhen's cheek, "wronged you."

Gu Zhen shook her head, "my daughter is not aggrieved. Although the Xu family can't compare with the Xibo house in Shanghai, her daughter is full of confidence and is not afraid of him. "

"Uncle Hu said with a smile," it's better than marriage. "

Gu Zhen nodded again and again, "my daughter is very grateful to my great aunt. I made a set of shoes and socks for her. After a few days, I will send them to her."

"It should be."

Gu Zhen bit her lip, as if she had a problem.

Aunt Hu said with a smile: "in front of my aunt, what can't be said."

Gu Zhen was a little nervous, "Auntie, my dowry, how much dowry will my wife prepare for me?"

Aunt Hu thought, "I'll see my wife. You can rest assured that the dowry is indispensable. "

Gu Zhen repeatedly nodded, "thank you very much."

"Thank you, silly boy."

In Furong hospital, when Mr. Gu saw Xie's family, he was grim.

"Jane's dowry is to be prepared. The wedding date is set in July."

"July? Why are you in such a hurry? Where can I get this time? The master didn't talk to the matchmaker? "

Gu adult discontented to stare at Xie Shi, "if you prepare the dowry for Zhen wench early, how can it be too late."

Xie's grievance, "back to the capital, one thing after another, but also for Yue son to prepare the dowry, concubine where have time to prepare dowry for Jane girl."

Mr. Gu snorted coldly. He was very dissatisfied. "If you have the heart, don't worry about how busy you are. The dowry of the girl should be ready. There is not even a shadow. "

Xie opened his mouth, "is the master blaming my wife?"

Gu said with a straight face: "I am reminding you to be more comprehensive in the future."

Xie's anger, "it's obviously difficult for Xu Jiaqiang. Why do we have to get married in July? Can't we get married at the end of the year? "

Gu said: "because after the new year, Xu Sanlang will go to the north to change his defense. Here, at least two years. If you don't get married early, do you want to let girl Zhen marry her and keep her husbandXie's stupefied, "change defense? Isn't that dangerous. How can you agree to such a marriage. Master, let's push this marriage

"Nonsense."

Mr. Gu was very unhappy. "After pushing this marriage, do you want Jane to be an old girl? Three girls do evil, you really forget it? I remember clearly. "

Xie's face turned white, and his eyes felt guilty, "I'm confused. Yes, sir. You can't quit. The time of two months is a little short. It is not impossible to prepare a decent dowry if we hold on to it. Other items can be bought ready-made, but the furniture is more troublesome. However, my wife thought of a way to repaint the furniture in the girl's room and marry her to the Xu family. "

Mr. Gu frowned. There was a fire in his heart, which gradually became vigorous.

"Are you going to fool me like this?"

"It's not because of the lack of time. It's also because there's no way out. Master, don't worry. The furniture in the girl's room is made of high-quality wood. If you paint it, you will never lose the face of our Gu Fu. "

"It's rare. You know that face is important."

Xie was stunned. Why is the master angry?
