The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 174: A nobleman (2)
Gu Yuanhe was in a hurry, "Mother, don't, no, it can't be like this."

Mother Su patted her son on the back angrily, "Boy, since you don't want to see these two, tell your mother, who is in your heart?"

Gu Yuanhe's forehead was sweating, "Mother, no one, my son has no one in his heart."

Su's mother's eyes were red, "Are you still thinking about Gu Pingxiu? If so, tell mother the truth, and mother will invite a matchmaker to go there again. Big deal... big deal, mother begged young lady to let you go out of the house."

Gu Yuanhe's complexion changed at that time, "Mother, what are you talking about? Even if Gu Pingxiu looks like a fairy, my son will not mess around and leave his parents behind."

Su's mother didn't expect her son to be so excited, she grabbed her son's arm, "You are so careless, mother is in a hurry, don't be angry with mother."

Gu Yuanhe also realized that he was too agitated, so he tried to make amends, "Mother, my son is not angry, so don't say such things in the future."

Gu Qiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, "If you still miss Gu Pingxiu in your heart, let your mother invite a matchmaker to go there again."

Gu Yuanhe felt a headache, "Father, why are you also meddling?"

Gu Qiang waved his hand, "Listen to what I have to say. About you, Ms. Qian asked me to ask."

Mother Su and Gu Yuanhe were stunned.

Gu Qiang said sternly: "After you were born, the general didn't let you become a slave. Your mother didn't know about it. The general only told me. At that time, I also confessed that you don't need to let your mother know. Yuanbao is the same as you. I didn't become a slave either. After the general passed away, I knew that my wife couldn't afford the family business, so I recommended myself to be a housekeeper, and my wife asked me to sign a contract of sale, but my wife didn't know that you and Yuanbao were not slaves. Your mother's deed of sale was handed over to Madam, but it was kept in a secret compartment in the study."

"The young lady took over the family rights from the madam that day, and when she got the deeds of sale from the servants of the mansion, she found something different. Because it contained the deeds of sale from me and other servants in the mansion, but not your mother, you and Yuanbao. But the lady didn't ask anyone, she just kept this question in her heart. After that, I felt that the lady was worthy of the family, so I told the lady that there is a secret compartment in the general's study room, where the things the general thinks are important. The lady quickly found Opened the hidden compartment, and inside there are Geng Tie about Miss's engagement to the Sun's family, and your mother's deed of sale. Miss kept this matter in her heart, and she didn't mention it to anyone either."

"After the marriage proposal was rejected, the young lady was very silent for a few days, and then she talked to me and asked me if you and Yuan Bao were slaves, and if your brothers were born in the ancient mansion. I took the general's I told the whole story, and showed the good records of both of you to the young lady. The young lady seemed to be relieved after hearing and reading it, and said it was okay. Afterwards, the young lady said frankly that she would buy a small house in the town to give you as a bride Wedding, let you go out to live alone."

Mother Su and Gu Yuanhe were very shocked, because they never knew that the general had such an arrangement, and the young lady had said such a thing.

Gu Qiang went on to say: "I rejected Miss, but Miss persuaded me to think more about you and Yuan Bao. What Miss means is that since Yuan Bao cannot take the imperial examination, then train you and Yuan Bao to be independent shopkeepers. Miss He also said something, if the two of you brothers don't want to be shopkeepers, then let the two of you go out and let you do what you like."

Gu Qiang said again, "Yuanhe, don't blame me for not telling you this earlier. My father also hid his selfishness. He thought that although Gu Pingxiu was good, her family could not accept her parent's background. In the future, it would be difficult for her to be caught in the middle." You, it can't be someone else, you won't live a stable life, so I didn't mention it. Dad has been thinking about your marriage these days, and he also wants to open it. Since the lady intends to let you go out, and gave you the job of shopkeeper, It won't be a problem for you to support your family in the future. If you still miss Gu Pingxiu, then marry Gu Pingxiu."

Gu Yuanhe couldn't react, "Father, I..."

Gu Qiang waved his hand, "This is the matter, but you have to rot in my stomach, and you must not let others know. When you leave the mansion, just say that the lady let you go out, and nothing else can be mentioned. Go ahead. , don’t rush to make a decision, you think about it slowly, and when you have a decision, tell dad, dad has gone back to miss.”

Knowing that her sons are not slaves, Mother Su cried and laughed, "Yuanhe, go! Listen to your father, think slowly, don't rush."

In the early morning of the second day, Gu Yuanhe went to work in the shop in the same manner.As usual, the windows of bean paste buns and bean sprouts were opened first to start buying and selling.After he arrived, guests began to come here in twos and threes. Steamed stuffed buns filled with meat and vegetables, meat sandwiches, red bean paste buns, white noodle cakes, corn noodle cakes are available for you to choose from. Congee and hot soup are complete, braised pork head meat, braised eggs and Special small pickles are also available.

Now the snack shop has gained a reputation. Not only the wealthy people in this town like to come here to eat, but also Bai Xianfu’s family will order a few special dishes from the snack shop. In Xi Town, I also patronize the flavor snack shop by name.

Flavor snack shops do business at two time points, morning and noon.Restaurants do not do breakfast business. Ordinary snack shops are small and sell a single item. Unlike flavor snack shops, which have a large storefront and offer a variety of breakfast dishes with good taste, they naturally attract many people who are not short of money. people.

The early rush hour in the shop had just passed, and there were only three tables of guests dining. Ning Si was busy tidying up the tables used by the guests. When the door of the shop was opened, the curtain was raised, and two servant girls, who looked like maids from two rich families, walked in. Twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

Wu Xiaoshan, who had just served a plate of red bean paste buns for the guests, greeted them with a smile, but saw the two girls snorted at Wu Xiaoshan with their nostrils upturned, raised the curtain from left to right, and said in a soft voice: "Miss Please."

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old lady, holding a handkerchief to her nose, entered the room with an unhappy expression on her face.Behind her, followed by a woman and four servant girls.The young lady had a pair of butterfly-shaped gold buds on her head, she was wearing a pink brocade dress, and a pair of emerald green jade gourds hung around her waist.And the clothes of the servant girls are also not vulgar, the material is neither coarse cloth nor cotton cloth, but ordinary silk.

Because it was a female customer, not an ordinary female customer, Wu Xiaoshan stepped back subconsciously, with the smile on his face still, "Does this lady want to have breakfast? Do you want to sit in the cubicle?"

The lady frowned.

One of the little girls who lifted the curtain earlier scolded: "Go away, you are worthy of talking to Miss."

The shop has been open for a long time, and it was the first time Wu Xiaoshan met such an overbearing and unreasonable lady and maid, and he looked in the direction of the counter in bewilderment.

Gu Yuanhe had already walked over, and Wu Xiaoshan stepped aside.There was no joy or anger on Gu Yuanhe's face, "I don't know what is the purpose of this lady coming to this shop?" He didn't think that this lady was here for dinner, and she was just looking for trouble.
