Chapter 62 Another Marriage

Gu Yan raced along the canal to Yangzhou, stayed at the Daxiangguo Temple outside Yangzhou city for one night, and the fast boat sailed south along the river to the Beixing Wharf of Pingjiang City.

The Beixing Wharf is in order. The cargo ships that arrive in the morning can be unloaded on the same day, and the cargo ships that arrive in the afternoon can be unloaded by the next day at the latest.

Gu Yan stood at the bow of the boat and looked around. He was very satisfied. The boat didn't land, so he went straight back to Bieye.

Gu Yan bathed and washed, changed his clothes and came out. Seeing Wang Gui coming in, he asked, "How is the business in that shop?"

"My son, the business is very good. I heard that the workshop is too small. I'm looking at the place to build the workshop."

Wang Gui hurriedly lowered his hands to answer, paused, glanced at Gu Yan carefully, and continued:
"Our family purchased and ordered the first day, and the next day, Cao Sihouzhai went to order the goods, and delivered them every other day, with twenty preserved eggs and ten salted eggs in each trip, and the next day, in the morning, the queen of Shuai Si I went to the house to make an order, and in the afternoon Xiansi also went to the house, and they all had about the same amount. After that, there were more people who went to order, and the small ones asked them to make a list."

Wang Gui took out a slender fold from the sleeve, and held it to Gu Yan with both hands.

Gu Yan pinches two fingers, shakes them away, sweeps them with his hand, snorts, and hands the booklet to Wang Gui.

"How's the taste?" Gu Yan asked.

"Excellent. It is said that the second wife likes it very much, and the two cousin girls also like it very much. The younger brother here also said it is delicious." Wang Gui replied with a smile.

"Well, let me serve a dish in the kitchen for dinner, I'll try it." Gu Yan ordered the stone roll, and then asked: "How is the marriage? Where did it go?"

"Back to my son, Li Wenliang went back to Kunshan County yesterday and said that he wanted to invite Li Xiucai's enlightenment Mr. Gao Yongxian to be a matchmaker."

Gu Yan hummed speciously, "What about the little girl? What are you busy with?"

"Help in the shop in the morning, and lecture to her third sister at home in the afternoon, and you can hear it at the gate of the courtyard."

"Help? What can she help? Let's watch the fun. Is the second wife in the house?" Gu Yan picked out a folding fan from the fan box.

"I just came back half an hour ago. I said that I was watching crab fishing in Crab Lake."

"Well, let's go and have a look." Gu Yan shook off the folding fan, and walked towards the crab lake with the fan.

Gaocun Ji.

Mr. Gao watched Li Wenliang get on the Daqing walking mule, urged the mule to trot away, stood there for a while, and then entered the courtyard gate with his hands behind his back, and slowly entered the main room.

"I see it's Mr. Li from Lijiaji? What's the matter? Is Xuedong okay?" Mother Zhi came out of the kitchen and followed into the main room.

"Xuedong is fine. Li Da came to ask me to be a matchmaker." Mr. Gao took the cup and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Is Xuedong engaged?" Mother Zhi asked in surprise.

"It's not Xuedong, it's Xuedong's third elder sister. It's assigned to the second young master of the Hong family. Hong Zhenye has been here before, you have seen it before."

Mr. Gao took a sip of his tea, put down his cup, and let out a long sigh, full of emotions.

"I really didn't expect it! The third sister of Xuedong married the Hong family, really! This is really true!"

"What is it really? One step to the sky? From a poor boy in the country to a scholar, isn't it just one step to the sky.

"Xuedong's third elder sister is engaged, so what about his second elder sister? His eldest elder sister combed her hair and won't marry, what about the second elder sister?" Zhi's mother sat next to Mr. Gao.

"I didn't ask that." Mr. Gao was stunned, he didn't think of this.

"Look at you!" Zhi's mother glared at Mr. Gao dissatisfied.

"The three elder sisters in Xuedong are not young anymore. If you have a good relationship, hurry up and make an appointment. Don't worry about the eldest and the second. The second sister in Xuedong will definitely be able to choose a good relationship, and his little sister." Mr. Gao hurriedly turned around.

"Where is Xuedong? Did you discuss marriage? You didn't ask?" Zhi's mother leaned over her upper body and asked holding her breath.

"Why am I asking this? Why are you asking this?" Mr. Gao leaned back and frowned at Zhi's mother.

"What are you talking about! Have you forgotten your daughter?" Mother Zhi slapped Mr. Gao on the back.

"What are you trying to do?" Mr. Gao's eyes widened.

"That kid Xuedong is so nice!" Zhi's mother squinted at Mr. Gao.

"Ah? When did you come up with this idea?" Mr. Gao took a while to realize it.

"I took the third place in the exam from Xuedong County. That's what I thought. How good is that kid, and how good are his sisters, and now he is married to the Hong family again."

Mother Zhi's words paused for a moment, and she sighed.

"In the blink of an eye, it has become our top pick."

"Raise your head to marry a girl." Mr. Gao answered.

"Hey, do you think it can be done? Can you still climb? I don't like the Hong family or anything, I just think Xuedong's kid is good, and his sisters are good!" Zhi's mother emphasized again.

"Why don't I talk about it tomorrow?" Mr. Gao frowned and thought about it, then leaned over and discussed with Zhi's mother.

Mother Zhi nodded repeatedly.

They are two husband and wife, Zhi'er, an only daughter, was born in their 30s. At first, they wanted to recruit a door-to-door son-in-law, but they felt that the door-to-door son-in-law was looked down upon. I don't care.

But when they really made up their minds to marry their daughter off, the old couple became picky. Since Zhi'er was eleven or twelve years old, until now, either this place is bad or that side is not right.

Now that Zhi's mother mentioned Li Xuedong, the more Mr. Gao thought about it, the more suitable it became. Thinking of the next morning, he couldn't find the suitable one even with a lantern.

After breakfast, Li Wenliang brought the cart over. Mr. Gao greeted Li Shikuan who was sitting in the cart, got into the cart, the curtain was raised high, Li Wenliang sat next to the coachman, and Li Shikuan and Gao in the cart Mr. Gossip.

After chatting for a while, Mr. Gao asked with a smile: "I forgot to ask yesterday, has Xuedong's second sister's marriage been agreed?"

"Not yet, the third sister's marriage was proposed by the Hong family, and we never thought of it." Li Shikuan laughed.

"Oh, what about Xuedong's marriage? Have you discussed it?" Mr. Gao asked in one sentence, and looked at Li Shikuan slightly holding his breath.

Li Wenliang looked back at Mr. Gao.

Li Shikuan smiled, "No, sir, is there a suitable family here?"

"No, no, no!" Mr. Gao subconsciously denied, and then he came to his senses, "I mean, no, this, it's a bitch...that."

Mr. Gao became confused.

How should I say this?
This marriage, their Gao family is too lofty.

"Sister Zhi is a good girl." Li Shikuan didn't make Mr. Gao feel embarrassed, "Mr. Xian and his wife are able to look at Zhongxuedong. This is Xuedong's blessing."

"Where is it?" Mr. Gao was relieved in one breath.

"I think it's very good, but," Li Shikuan looked at Mr. Gao, "Mr. also knows that Mr. Xiucai is a very thoughtful person. Mr. Xiucai's three elder sisters and the little girl are also very knowledgeable. A person with great ideas. Mr. Xiucai had to discuss with his sisters to make up his mind about Mr. Xiucai's marriage.

"When I see Mr. Xiucai, I'll talk to him and ask him to go back and discuss with his sisters. What do you think?"

"That's right, that's right!" Mr. Gao agreed repeatedly.
