A lucky wife born again from a farm family

"Sister Yu married a young master from Fucheng. Sister Dan also grew up in Fucheng. Why did she marry back to the village? Is there some hidden illness?"

"Bah, mother Yanjin, shut up, that's the granddaughter of the head of the village. If the head of the village hears what you say, your family will be expelled from the clan!"

Shang Yanjin's mother said: "I'm not talking to the village chief, but to the Gu family. We are kind-hearted and don't want them to be cheated."

Bah, don’t you want the Gu family to be cheated? I think you did it on purpose, to ruin the marriage between the Gu family and the Li Chang family.

Shang Yansheng's mother immediately walked away and no longer stood with her, lest her family would be implicated.

"Ah, you coward!" Shang Yanjin's mother scolded Shang Yansheng's mother.

But she didn't know that the Gu family already knew the reason why Shang Xiudan would marry back to the village, and it was not what she said at all.

"The Gu family of Dafeng Village is here to propose marriage to the eldest family member of Shangli! Grab the golden bean cakes and wedding candies as you please!" The golden matchmaker sat on the front board of the mule cart and shouted to the people of Shangjia Village who were watching the excitement along the road.

Shangjia Village is richer than other villages, but it doesn’t have to eat everything. Golden bean cakes and candies are expensive, and everyone comes to catch them one after another. After getting the bean cakes and candies, they will say: "Congratulations to the Gu family." Lucky you!"

Lao Yan was sitting in the carriage, grinning from ear to ear with joy. She asked Jin Niu to lift the curtain of the carriage and watch the guys congratulating her family.

He couldn't help wiping away his tears again: "You are a young man in his early twenties, and you are finally married to a wife. She is also a girl from the eldest son's family. It's really... thanks to your family."

The last half of the sentence was addressed to Mr. Cui.

Cui is the mother-in-law of Xiao Sanyuanlang, the mother-in-law of a hundred households, and the mother-in-law of a class leader. She is considered a noble person in Shili and Baxiang. This time she came to the Shang family to give the engagement gift, and she sat on the same table with Lao Yan. In a carriage.

"What you said is very serious. It is Qingliang's ability to decide on this marriage. Only if Qingliang is a good child can he be favored by the head of the Shangli family." Mrs. Cui is very happy recently. Both of her daughters have married Living with a familiar family, her life was going well. She had a smile on her face these days, and she became more courageous.

Lao Yan patted her hand and said, "I am old, but I am still awake. Not to mention Qingliang, even my family can live a good life because of your family's blessing."

He also praised Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, this child, will be lucky if she survives a disaster. After she was beaten and her head was broken by the Niu brothers and she woke up, our family's luck improved. Those days were getting better day by day. Now, The old lady can even ride in the carriage.”

Horses are military assets, and ordinary people cannot buy them. If you want to buy one, you must have a good reputation. The carriage you are riding in now was bought in the name of Gu Jinan.

The third grandma smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, please stop praising me, my daughter-in-law is even embarrassed."

He added: "Our family has been through life and death together, so there is no need to say any kind words. This blessing belongs to you all."

Lao Yan nodded: "Yes, yes, the third brother and sister can still talk. Our family is all blessed."

Mrs. Yan couldn't stop laughing. This was the heartiest time her mother-in-law had laughed in recent years: "Mom, you have a bad voice. Take a rest first and wait until you get to Shangli's house before you talk, otherwise your throat won't be able to bear it."

While escaping from famine, Lao Yan made his throat so thirsty that he asked his children to drink more water.

But Lao Yan smiled and said: "As long as you, my mother-in-law, are here, I, my grandmother, can just sit there. I don't need to say anything. I don't have to be afraid."

After hearing this, Mrs. Yan started laughing, and her laughter spread outside the carriage.

When the people in Shangjia Village heard this, they all knew that the Gu family was very happy to marry the eldest member of the Shangli family.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the procession delivering the wedding gift stopped in front of the gate of Shangli Chang's house.

Shang Zifu, the eldest grandson of Shang Li, and other brothers of the Shang family were waiting at the gate. When they saw the Gu family's carriage coming, they hurriedly stood up straight.

The golden matchmaker got out of the car first, and came forward with his mother-in-law, maid, and the master who was playing joy, and shouted: "At an auspicious day, the Gu family of Dafeng has come to present the betrothal to the Shang family. Please open the door of the Jishan Shang family to welcome us!"

After shouting three times, Shang Zifu and the others followed the rules and came forward to greet the Gu family.

After seeing the gift, open the door to the house and let the golden matchmaker come in with the engagement gift.

Sending betrothal gifts is a way for the man's family to show respect to the girl's family. Each time a piece is carried, they have to shout a few times and let the onlookers stare at it for a while before carrying the betrothal gift into the house.

Everyone looked at the engagement gift given by Gu Qingliang's family and almost drooled with envy.

"I thought only Gu Xiucai's family was rich, but I didn't expect that Gu Qingliang's family was also so rich. They gave three sets of gold-headed noodles and six pieces of fine clothing materials, two of which were silk. , I gave you sixty-six taels of silver, which is enough to build a big brick house with tiles, you are really rich!"

"No, this is just the engagement gift. How much do we have to give as a betrothal gift when we get married?" A woman counted on her fingers, and after a moment she exclaimed: "Oh my God, here is The elder's family can earn at least a thousand taels of silver by marrying their third granddaughter, but Gu Qingliang's family has so much money? Why spend so much money on marrying a wife? If they save a little money, they can at least marry a hundred times!"

The people in Shangjia Village are envious and jealous.

Shang Yanjin's mother even had a wrong idea and said to the women around her: "The Qin Gu Luotian family is really rich. They have a lot of young people and girls, right? Do you think we are the same?" Go climb the doors of their houses?”

A woman scolded: "Mother Yanjin, are you crazy? The door of Qin Gu Luotian's family is easy to climb? Have you forgotten Shang Laosi's family? Have you forgotten Mrs. Niu and the others? And shopkeeper Feng's family, Now it’s all over. You still want to encourage the big guys to take advantage of their boys and girls, do you want to kill us?!”

Shang Yanjin's mother was exposed and said confidently: "What do you mean by killing you? I'm helping you, as well as the Qin Gu Luotian family. This boy and girl have to get married when they get older. We in Shangjia Village They are living a good life, it is a blessing for them to get married to us after fleeing from famine!"

As soon as these words came out, all the women nearby dispersed, bitching at Shang Yanjin's mother: "You harmful shrew, don't come here to hurt us. The head of the village has said that anyone who dares to take advantage of the Gu family will be punished." Whose family will be expelled?"

"Jade pendant! Look, the Gu family also gave a jade pendant as an engagement gift!" Someone screamed, attracting everyone's attention.

People in Shangjia Village looked around and saw two concentric pendants placed on a wooden tray covered with red cloth.

Although the quality of the jade is not high-quality, it is rare for peasants to give it a jade pendant as a wedding gift. The Shang family is really proud this time.

"Only officials and wealthy people will give jade when they get married. The Gu family is considerate and willing to give it. The eldest family member has made a good marriage."

The people in Shangjia Village praised the Gu family one after another because of the two jade pendants, and Shang Zifu and the others felt quite embarrassed when they heard this.

Shang Zixiang looked at Lin Guangtong next to him. After seeing the surprised expression on his face, he finally let out the sullen feeling in his heart!
