Peasant woman's day

Chapter 76

Mrs. Song smiled at Fu Rong: "Sit down now. There is no need to be polite." Then Mrs. Song handed over the medicine bowl.Master Song took the medicine bowl with a bitter face, with a flattering expression on his face: "Ma'am."

Mrs. Song turned her body slightly, and the little girl behind her was holding a small blue and white bowl.Master Song's gaze lit up when he saw the small bowl, picked up the medicine bowl, and gulped it down.The little girl held back a smile and handed over the small bowl.Master Song quickly lifted the lid, took a piece of candy and put it in his mouth, pursed his mouth, "It's really bitter."

Fu Rong couldn't help laughing.Gu Qingchen also suppressed a smile and asked: "Is the master not feeling well? Can you allow the student to take a pulse?"

Master Song quickly waved his hand: "There's no need to compare, I'm just an old problem, and there's nothing serious about it usually, so there's really no need for it."

Mrs. Song sat down gracefully, and said to Gu Qingchen: "You know some art of distorting yellow. It's just right, help you master's pulse. Now it's even more difficult to invite a doctor to come to your door."

Master Song had no choice but to stretch out his hand aggrieved.Gu Qingchen checked the pulse carefully, and asked Mrs. Song to look for the prescription prescribed by the previous doctor. She nodded and said, "Master's anger is too high, which caused disharmony between the spleen and stomach. This prescription is for clearing the fire and invigorating the spleen and stomach. It is symptomatic. This medicine has to be taken. Although the master is growing old and strong, he should pay more attention to his body. It is also a good idea to eat smaller meals and eat more meals a day."

"You can hear me. That's what your own student said." Mrs. Song turned and smiled at Furong, "Don't be fooled, Zifang used to stay at my house when he came to study. Our old couple didn't have any children around However, he often came to visit us. A few days ago, when he got married, he sent someone to send a post, but I fell ill again, and I didn’t catch up. Today’s meal is just a part of me as a teacher’s wife. mind."

Furong got up to help.Mrs. Song turned around to stop her, Fu Rong smiled and said: "A teacher for a day, a father for life. I wanted to have such elegant people as my parents, but I didn't ask for it. My wife won't let me go, I must be disgusted." I'm clumsy."

Mrs. Song didn't refuse anymore, and took Fu Rong to the kitchen.Master Song's family used to be a scholarly family, but later it fell into disrepair, but it still retains the living habits of that time, such as having little girls and servants to serve.Furong watched coldly, Mrs. Song even washed her hands and made soup, she was a little more elegant than ordinary women.

At the same time, Mrs. Song was also secretly observing Fu Rong.Furong's movements of cutting and choosing vegetables are very agile, it seems that she is used to housework.Look at Furong's hands again, although they are still fair, but the backs of the hands are much thicker than her own.Look at Fu Rong's face and neck again: I'm afraid this girl used to be pampered and pampered, and she really didn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers.It's not easy to be able to do this now.The more Mrs. Song looked at her, the more she liked her.

Gu Qingchen drank with Master Song. Master Song was very happy and wrote a poem on the spot.Gu Qingchen also smiled and sang a song.Master Song shook his head: "It's not satisfactory. Reading, it should be read every day."

Gu Qingchen only let Master Song drink a few cups, and then brought out the medical book and forbade him to drink any more.Master Song drank so much that he was a little tipsy.Fu Rong and Gu Qingchen helped pack up their things, then they left and went back.

When the two walked out of Song's house, Yuanyuan fell asleep on Furong's shoulder.Just as Gu Qingchen picked him up, Yuanyuan woke up immediately, covering Gu Qingchen's mouth with her little hand: "Daddy's mouth smells bad! I want my mother to hug me."

Gu Qingchen had no choice but to hand Yuanyuan back to Fu Rong.The three of them were just about to turn when they heard the sound of horseshoes ahead.The three quickly stood on the steps in front of a house.

A richly decorated carriage drove by, and the coachman drove past without turning his eyes.Fu Rong just glanced at it, then lowered her head, pressed her round head into her arms, and turned around to prevent the dust from getting into her nose and mouth.After the carriage passed by them, the three of them turned a corner, and without seeing it, the carriage stopped at the gate of Song's house.

When Gu Qingchen returned to the inn, he felt the smell of alcohol rising continuously, his cheeks seemed to be painted with rouge, very bright red.Furong wiped Yuanyuan's hands and face first, then carried him to bed and went to sleep, then ordered a pot of tea for Gu Qingchen to drink.Gu Qingchen took Fu Rong's hand: "It's been a long time since I've seen the master so happy. Back then, the only son of the master went to Beijing alone to rush for the exam, but met a bandit and died. The master locked himself in the room for three days and three nights. Sanbo and I just stayed outside for three days. When he finally came out, I saw that his sideburns had turned white."

Fu Rong held Gu Qingchen's hand instead, her eyes were clear: "You are thinking about them so much. They are also very relieved."

"No matter how much I think about it, they are not their parents after all." Gu Qingchen swallowed the second half of the sentence: They are not his parents after all.

Fu Rong sat down next to him and passed tea: "Since that's the case, how about we recognize them as parents? After a hundred years, some people will still think about them."

Gu Qingchen raised his head in surprise.Furong smiled and pointed at Yuanyuan: "Look at how Yuanyuan looks like me now. I look at Master Song and Mrs. Song, they are not the kind of people who stick to status. Speaking of which, I recognize them as godfathers and mothers. It’s true that we have climbed high. I just want to give the old people something to look forward to. In the days to come, if something happens, they can find someone to discuss it with.”

Gu Qingchen's eyes lit up, even praising this idea as a good one.The two discussed that it would be better to strike while the iron was hot. After resting for a while, the two bought a lot of things and boarded the door of Song's house again.

From a distance, the two people saw the carriage parked in the alley when they left Song's house earlier.When Gu Qingchen and the others approached, they realized that the carriage was actually parked at Master Song's door.Gu Qingchen stopped to ask Fu Rong for her opinion.Fu Rong was thinking about it when the door of the Song family opened.

Master Song personally sent out a young man with a face like a crown of jade and full of brocade clothes.That young man looked like he was either rich or expensive.Master Song's expression was very serious, unlike the gentle and casual conversation with Gu Qingchen before.When the two of them came out, the young man turned around and bowed to Master Song: "Mr. Song, I look forward to your reply." As he spoke, he turned around, glanced over Gu Qingchen and the three of them, and said to Master Song sideways: "Song Sir, but your distinguished guest?"

Master Song raised his eyes to see Gu Qingchen and the others, he was a little surprised, and said to the young man with a smile: "It's my distinguished guest. Mr. Rui, excuse me for my leg injury, so I won't give you any more."

Mr. Narui bowed his hands to Master Song, got up and got into the carriage.The moment the curtain was lowered, he saw Yuanyuan in Furong's arms, and his heart seemed to move, but he couldn't grasp it no matter what.

After seeing off Mr. Rui, Master Song welcomed Gu Qingchen and his wife in.Mrs. Song just came out at that time, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and hurriedly invited the two of them into the room to sit down.

Gu Qingchen explained the reason for coming, and the room fell into silence for an instant.Yuanyuan was going to get the pastry on the table, Furong reached out to him, put him on her lap, and whispered in his ear to stop making trouble.Mrs. Song looked at Yuanyuan holding Lvdu Crisp in both hands, eating big mouthfuls, with a moved expression on her face, she stretched out her hand to Yuanyuan and said with a smile, "Yuanyuan, come to grandma."

As soon as Mrs. Song said these words, the stone in Furong's heart fell to the ground.A smile immediately appeared on Gu Qingchen's face, and he stood up.Fu Rong also stood up with great winking, and bowed to Master Song and Mrs. Song: "Godfather Godmother, please accept the child's bow!"

Master Song's expression brightened in an instant, and he said to Gu Qingchen: "Get up. I will accept this matter for you. But, you have to tell your family about this matter." It's not a small thing either.

"Naturally." Gu Qingchen hurriedly agreed, and invited Master Song and the two of them to the restaurant for dinner.

The two returned to the town the next day, and Gu Qingchen immediately wrote a letter to Gu Sanbo, clarifying the matter.On February [-]nd, Gu Qingchen and Fu Rong took time to go back to Gu's house and talked about the matter, and with Gu Sanbo playing the drums, the old couple happily agreed.

At noon, Gu Sanbo invited everyone to his house for dinner.As soon as she went out, Furong saw Gu Ersao coming with a young girl over her head.

"Father, mother, uncle, elder brother and sister-in-law." The second sister-in-law Gu shouted here, her eyes swept over Gu Qingchen, she looked away, and she pulled her sister-in-law affectionately and said: "Sister-in-law, this is my cousin. Aren't you Did you say you didn’t see it? It happened that she came to my house. Look, she looks very upright. Her family has dozens of acres of good land and lives in a big tiled house with green bricks, but she is the first in the village. Son."

Fu Rong knew that Mrs. Gu felt sorry for the 20 taels of silver.After thinking about it, she would not feel that she was wrong.Gu Lao Er didn't know where to scrape together 20 taels of silver, and gave it to Gu Qingchen in front of Gu Lao Er.The ten taels of silver that Gu Ersao's mother just extorted from Mrs. Gu just went to waste, so she was naturally unwilling.But the ugly words were all said before, if there is more trouble, Gu Laoer will divorce his wife, these words really imprisoned her.

The meal at Gu Sanbo's house was divided into two tables.Fu Rong purposely stayed far away from Second Aunt Gu, and could hear her rambling alone when the table was full.In contrast, her cousin's behavior instantly won everyone's favor.
