Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Childhood sweetheart cousin

With the golden leaf opening the way, Mrs. Zhao told Yang Ruoqing and Ping'er all about the Gu family like beans in a bamboo tube.

"I have been a matchmaker for most of my life, and there is almost nothing I can do. This signboard is very famous in Wanghai County, but the Gu family's matchmaker, I did it for him three times in a row, and it failed three times. I almost smashed my signboard. I get annoyed when I mention the Gu family!" Mrs. Zhao said angrily after putting away the gold leaves properly.

Ping'er asked: "Do it three times? Since when did you start doing it? Why didn't it work? But Gu Juren has too high a vision?"

Matchmaker Zhao shook her head: "It's not that he has high vision. Although he is a juror, his parents used to do small business in the county. His family is not the only one with a good family background, good character, and fame in our county. Why should he have a good vision?" Gao? It failed three times, and it was because the woman didn’t like it. One time, the only daughter of Hu Yuan’s family agreed to the marriage, and it was almost three days before the big wedding! "

Ping'er frowned: "Why is this happening? Does Gu Juren have a hidden disease?"

Matchmaker Zhao shook her head again: "I don't know if Gu Juren has hidden diseases, so I can't take off his clothes to see? However, the woman divorced the engagement three times, all because of Gu Juren's flirtatiousness!"

"Merry?" Ping'er opened her eyes wide.

"Does he like to mess with women and visit brothels? Or does he have a lot of girls in the house before he is married?" Ping'er asked again.

As the big maid next to the mistress who came from the Yang family in Yuncheng, Ping'er is well versed in the inside story of those families with slightly larger families.

Young masters and brothers have just grown up, and there are maids to serve them by their side. They yearn for everything at a young age, and it is inevitable to do things that go beyond the distance when they live together in the same room.

Matchmaker Zhao shook her head for the third time: "Before I became a matchmaker, I also asked about Gu Juren's personality. He is talented, ambitious, and righteous. He occasionally goes to restaurants with his classmates to drink and recite poems, but he never goes to brothels. There is no maid who is unclear."

"It's just that he has one of his best cousins, a little widow who lives alone. It is said that she is from his aunt's house. She has been staying at his house temporarily for several years."

"The three marriages are broken up, and the reason has nothing to do with that cousin!"

Hearing Zhao's words, Ping'er turned pale with shock.

She looked at Yang Ruoqing, "When we were discussing marriage, we asked him how many people there were in his family. They only said that there were two older sisters, both of whom were married in the county town, but they didn't mention the cousin who lives at home temporarily!"

Yang Ruoqing thought about it for a while, and then asked the matchmaker: "Doesn't the cousin have her own family? Why did she live in Gu's house? Besides, she is a widow, so it's inconvenient to live in a relative's house."

Mrs. Zhao curled her lips, "It is said that the cousin grew up in Gu's family and played with the Gu family's siblings. Her own mother has long since disappeared, and her father married a stepmother. The stepmother is harsh and has already taken care of the Gu family. "

Yang Ruoqing said again: "Since this is the case, then he is a guest, and the cousin is the master. If the master wants to talk about marriage, why does she want to sabotage? Is it because she has a relationship with Gu Juren? Do the parents of the Gu family know about this? What's the attitude?"

Zhao said: "A widow was kicked out by her husband's family, and her childhood sweetheart's cousin passed the Juren examination. It's the time when she is romantic and suave. She must be tempted. Besides, she can't marry a good family if she remarries. It's better to be in prison. Hold fast to the life-saving straw of my cousin!"

"As for the fact that she ruined the marriage, the parents of the Gu family knew about it, because when the third marriage failed, I rushed to the door to scold them. At that time, the parents of the Gu family were very angry. Master Gu wanted to give the little widow After being thrown out, the little widow was crying, looking for death and life, Mrs. Gu couldn't bear it anymore, and Gu Juren's heart softened. I was so bored seeing it, so I swore that I would never lead the red line to his Gu family again, and ask others to lead the red line. First of all, you have to take care of yourself. Wipe your butt clean, look, because of the Gu family, I even offended three wives!"

Ping'er frowned when she heard this, her face was frosty.

Yang Ruoqing also looked worried. Obviously, the Gu family had deliberately concealed something during the process of pronouncing their marriage with Huahua.

In view of the fact that the Gu family has brought forward the wedding date again and again, and they are so eager to wait, it was suspicious at first, but now they are more and more sure of guessing, there must be tricks in it.

"Since that's the case, why didn't the Gu family just let their son marry their cousin?" Yang Ruoqing asked again with a sullen face.

Mrs. Zhao snorted, "Big sister, you are really kind. The two elders of the Gu family have worked in a small business all their lives and managed to get their son admitted to the Juren examination, and they also gained dignity and were called master. Wouldn't it be too bad to marry that cousin? Not to mention marrying someone who is beneficial to my career, at least I can't marry a widow and be laughed at by others, right?"

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "What about now? Does that cousin still live in the Gu family?"

Mrs. Zhao thought for a while: "I was still there last month, but I don't seem to see it this month, and I didn't pay attention."

Yang Ruoqing recruited Mrs. Zhao to come over, "You do something for me, and I will thank you very much..."

After dismissing Mrs. Zhao, Yang Ruoqing turned around and found Ping'er crouching slowly against the cold and damp wall of the alley.

"Qing'er, what should I do? This Gu family is like a pool of sewage. Do I really want to marry Huahua to such a family?"

Ping'er hugged her knees with her hands, lowered her head and shed tears, feeling helpless and lost her mind.

Yang Ruoqing returned to Ping'er and squatted down, "Isn't it five or six days before we get married? Don't worry, Zhao Matchmaker is just talking, and we can't believe it all. Next, let's keep an eye on the Gu family. Every move, see what's going on!"

Ping'er raised her head: "That Gu Juren, if he becomes successful in the future, he will definitely take a concubine. I'm mentally prepared for this, after all, I also come from a wealthy family."

"As long as Huahua secures her wife's position and gives birth to a legitimate child, I will feel at ease. But like Gu Juren, who has three marriages committed by a widowed cousin before they get married, we must be cautious. Maybe Huahua will come in first, and then the cousin will also come in and become a concubine, this kind of concubine is not easy to deal with."

Yang Ruoqing pondered for a while, and agreed with Ping'er's words: "That's right, it can be seen from the Gu family's attitude towards that cousin before. Gu's mother, that is, Huahua's mother-in-law, was close to that cousin, and Gu Juren and her cousin were childhood sweethearts. I can't marry my cousin as the main wife, and I have been widowed for a few years and have not remarried, so it can be seen that I plan to settle down in the Gu family for a long time."

"Then if my cousin becomes a concubine, Huahua, the official wife, may be in a dilemma at home, struggling, and become an outsider!"

"Ping'er, if you want me to tell you, let's go directly to Gu's house to ask about the situation, what do you think?"

Ping'er thought about it carefully, and gritted her teeth: "For Huahua's life, I don't care about that much anymore, so I'll go now, I'll ask you face to face!"
