Marriage
Someone from the Gu family is coming.
When Yang Ruoqing and Sun went to the pond to cross the water with two bamboo baskets full of chickens and ducks, they saw the Gu family's carriage running past the pond dam.
The coachman who drove the carriage was the same coachman who came to our home for an engagement. There was another carriage behind the carriage.
"Huahua is getting married the day after tomorrow, and Gu Ju is here to give gifts today..."
There was a woman in the pond talking about Huahua getting married, and everyone was envious in their words.
Everyone hopes that their daughter can marry a juren. If she marries a juren, she will have no worries about food and clothing. Not to mention, the juren has a reputation and can be replaced as an official in the yamen at any time. Naturally, the daughter is also a candidate official wife.
"The soil and water in our village support people. Look at our village. The general, the number one scholar, and the most beautiful man are all from our village..."
"Isn't that right? Xiaoyu, Huangmao, Huahua, these girls have all married into good families..."
These words of the village women nearby reached Sun's ears, and she also felt the same way.
While she was washing the internal organs of the old hen, she whispered to Yang Ruoqing: "Huahua is getting married the day after tomorrow. We have to go over in the morning to give gifts and have a banquet. Have you prepared all the gifts?"
Yang Ruoqing was immersed in pulling out the remaining hair roots on the duck one by one. When she heard this, she said without raising her head: "Yes, I have already prepared it. But the day after tomorrow, Tang Yazi and I have to go to Wanghai County to pick up Da'an, so early in the morning
We have to go, let Auntie go over to give us gifts and have wine when the time comes."
Mrs. Sun smiled happily, her eyes full of excitement: "Da'an will be home the day after tomorrow? Did I send you a message?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
Mrs. Sun got the exact news and became more energetic at work: "It's great. Fuwa has been several months old and hasn't seen her biological father yet, but she is back. By the way, Xiao Anke has said when he will be back.
Huh? It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and your fifth uncle and second brother are all back!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Xiao An is coming soon. He said he would get home before Dabao Jiang Guiling gets married."
Mrs. Sun nodded repeatedly: "That's good."
Xiao An is two years older than Dabao. Now Dabao is about to start a family, and Xiao An's marriage is not yet in sight. Sun's newly excited heart is suddenly filled with a hint of sadness.
Yang Ruoqing had no time to pay attention to Sun's anxiety. All she was thinking about now was the marriage between the Gu family and Huahua.
The Gu family's visit today is probably related to the fact that she and Ping'er came to the door yesterday to express their attitude to Gu's mother straight to the point.
That's why the Gu family came over quickly and either gave an explanation or broke off the engagement.
The problem is that the girl Huahua is not up to par. Once the Gu family notices the conflict between Huahua and Ping'er, the Gu family will change from passive to active and regain control of the situation.
The phrase "girl foreign minister" is really true when applied to Huahua!
Yang Ruoqing was a little worried about Ping'er. It was really difficult for her to be caught in the middle.
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing decided to go to Ping'er's place to give Ping'er courage.
He washed the old ducks in his basket as quickly as possible, and then helped Sun pack the other basket of chickens, "Mom, I won't help you deliver the basket. I have to go to Ping'er."
Then take a look."
Mrs. Sun didn't know about Gu Zhihua's romantic affairs, but only knew about Yang Ruoqing's friendship with Ping'er, "You go ahead and bring Tang Yazi and Bao Bao over for dinner at noon. I'll make braised vermicelli with pickled pepper chicken and mixed noodles for you to eat."
When Yang Ruoqing heard the words "Chicken with Pickled Peppers", Yang Ruoqing's mouth felt sour as a conditioned reflex, but her stomach was ready to stir.
"Okay, I'll definitely go there."
Zhou Sheng's family.
When Yang Ruoqing arrived, she happened to see Zhou Sheng greeting Gu's father to sit in the hall. Gu Zhihua was standing beside the carriage, instructing the two coachmen to move the gifts from the carriage behind to the house.
Good guy, the carriage at the back is full of gifts!
Yang Ruoqing was about to go straight in when she saw Huahua dragging Ping'er out of the hall door.
Huahua smiled and waved to Gu Zhihua: "Mr. Gu, just let the servants do the work. You come in and sit down. My Aunt Ping'er will make tea for you."
Gu Zhihua smiled at Huahua, then bowed to Ping'er and thanked her.
Ping'er's eyes were indifferent, "Let's go in and drink tea."
Gu Zhihua quickly entered the house, but Ping'er did not go in. He only said to Huahua: "You and your Uncle Zhou Sheng can talk to them. There is no food at home. I will go to the vegetable garden and bring back some sprouts."
Huahua chased her to the door of the courtyard and said to Ping'er in a low voice: "Aunt Ping'er, thank you for helping me. I was impulsive and spoke uncontrollably before. I apologize to you, so don't argue with me."
Ping'er looked at Huahua with complicated eyes and hesitated to speak.
Huahua took Ping'er's arm and continued: "I know what you are worried about. I still say the same thing. I chose this path myself. I believe I will be able to go well. Instead of asking me to marry someone who only knows
I would rather compete with a bunch of warblers and swallows for the favor of the peasants who are wandering around me. Some are fighting for others, which shows that I have a good vision and the men I choose are outstanding. I would rather be a phoenix than a chicken.
Head, Aunt Ping'er, I hope you can understand me!"
Ping'er just sighed, "That's all, you choose the path yourself, I won't say anything else, just go into the house!"
When Huahua turned around, she told Ping'er again: "As for what you and my cousin Qing'er saw in the bamboo forest of the temple yesterday, I advise you not to say anything. It's not good to say too much. Leave some for the Gu family.
It is also to leave some room for ourselves. After all, my father-in-law said before when he entered the house that Shuhua's cousin had been sent back to my mother-in-law's family for a temporary stay. She left Wanghai County last night, and Gu Zhihua and I went to Qing'an.
She won't come back until the county is established. This is the Gu family's attitude, and I think it's ok."
Ping'er's face was full of bitterness, and thousands of words were stuck in her throat. She opened her mouth several times, but in the end, she couldn't say even a single word.
"Okay, as long as you are satisfied with the Gu family's explanation, I will go to the vegetable garden."
Ping'er took her hand out of Huahua's, turned around and opened the courtyard door.
Huahua breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the main room with brisk steps.
Ping'er had just walked out of the courtyard and within a few steps she saw Yang Ruoqing standing under the wall not far away.
"Qing'er, why are you here?" Ping'er came over quickly and asked.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at the two carriages not far away: "I'm worried about you, and I wanted to come over to give you courage, but now it seems there's no need."
Yang Ruoqing heard the previous conversation between Ping'er and Huahua.
On the matter of marriage, Ping'er has already compromised.
Now that we have compromised, the next step is for the family to unite and hold the wedding happily.
Ping'er was startled for a moment, then laughed bitterly.
"Did you hear it? Hey, at this point, I have no choice. Whether it is fate or calamity, I can't control it. Let her go on her own. I have said everything that needs to be said. Will she have a good life in the future?
