The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 413 Ma Shi's Sorrow (1)
Xiaoyu quickly placed melon seeds and fruits on the table, Xiaojuan took the teacup over, and looked at the water sitting on the stove like a little girl.

Gu Li came in with her maid, Mei'er.Qingshu called out to her sister, asking Gu Li to sit down.

Gu Li's complexion was not very good, with a sad look on his face.She drank half a cup of hot tea, was silent for a moment, and suddenly shed tears silently.

Qing Shu was taken aback, "Sister Li, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Gu Li turned her face sideways, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, calmed down before facing Qing Shu, and said softly, "Sister, sister is very scared."

Qing Shu was suspicious, Gu Li's performance today was very different from usual, "Afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Gu Li glanced at Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan who were serving in front of him, hesitant to speak.

Qingshu thought to herself: This is finally getting to the point!She turned her face sideways, and said to Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan, "You two, take Miss Meier to look around."

Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan agreed, and took out the maid named Meier next to Gu Li.

There were only two cousins ​​left in the house.Gu Li sighed softly, and said softly, "Don't hide it from my sister, my parents will become stiff, not for anything else, just for my marriage."

Qing Shu said inwardly: Sure enough, we're going to get to the point.But he didn't show it on his face, and asked with a look of surprise, "For my sister's marriage?"

Gu Li looked sad, "Yes. A lot of things happened. Dad couldn't stay in Beijing, so he planned to sell his property and return to his ancestral home. My mother is not very willing because of my marriage contract."

Qingshu was surprised, this is really surprising, "Sister is already engaged?"

"It turned out to be a marriage. The family's surname was Huang, and they agreed to marry me at the end of last year. My mother thought that if I marry into the Huang's house, I will stay in Beijing and cannot go back to my ancestral home with my parents. There is no one around here." My mother's family, I was bullied and had no one to rely on. Because of this, my mother didn't want to leave Beijing. However, because the family situation deteriorated, the Huang family looked down on me, saying that I was not worthy of a man from the Huang family, so the Huang family quit the door. Marriage." At this point, her eyes were red, and she lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Qing Shu didn't speak, because she didn't know what to say properly.

"I, although I am sad, but I think about it again, the other party is this kind of person, fortunately, I am not married, it is a blessing in misfortune. I never thought that, in just a few days, father, father would actually marry me Promised to be a concubine to a sixty-year-old man. Mother...mother and elder brother objected, and quarreled with father. I never thought that father would push mother down, causing mother to lie on the bed for more than ten days. Every day when debt collection came, father always called My idea, mother angrily dug out the silver hidden by father, and handed it over to the creditor together with the house deed. Only then did father give up, dismissed some of the servants in the mansion, and brought us back to our ancestral home." Speaking of this, her head froze. Drooping low, the voice was even lower, "On the way, mother said that when I reached Kangxi Town, I bought a small house, and the whole family squeezed together, and life would be better. Father refused, insisted on coming to my sister Here. For this reason, the two quarreled all the way."

Qing Shu just listened, with a calm expression, showing no emotion or anger.

Gu Li didn't dare to look up, "That day, I'm sorry."

Qing Shu had no choice but to say, "That day, I didn't show mercy, so you don't have to feel sorry."

After being quiet for a while, Gu Li said again, "My sister must be very confused. Why doesn't my sister stay at home to accompany my mother, but she comes here every few days and sits for a long time." Before Qing Shu could say anything, she sighed, "I stay with my sister for no other reason than to avoid disaster. Father, father intends to marry me to De County here, to make a sick Mr. Wu happy."

Qing Shu blinked, "De County? The sick and weak Mr. Wu?" As far as she knew, there was only one Mr. Wu who was sick and weak in De County, and he thought of nothing else all day long, thinking of relying on Chongxi to cure his strange disease .

Gu Li nodded slightly, "I heard that the Wu family promised to give a dowry of 500 taels of silver, plus a shop. There is only one condition." She glanced at Qing Shu apologetically, and said, "When I married , I have to bring my younger sister as a dowry girl."

Qingshu's hands beside her were clenched into fists, but she immediately let go of her fists, and asked in a cold voice, "Your father agrees?" She has a filial piety and cannot get married, so the Wu family just played around. Such a trick.Marry Gu Li there, and ask Gu Yunfu to send her to the Wu Mansion in the name of a dowry maid.

The Wu family is good at playing, Gu Hoe, Gu Yunfu, and Song's family are all three-pronged.The Wu family must be thinking that if they use three forces, one of them will succeed!She has already cleaned up the ancient hoe, and she already knows the tricks played by the Song Mansion in Beijing, but she has never been able to guess Gu Yunfu's plan.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such an idea.

Gu Li nodded slightly, "Because of this, my mother decided to take us away from my father." She bit her lip, "My sister may not remember, when we were young, when we first arrived in Beijing, my elder brother liked to take my younger sister to play It's just that my second uncle is gone, my father..." "For many years, the eldest brother has refused to talk to my father." "Yesterday, my father went to our place and asked me to get married. Mother drove away my father." The eldest brother and the second brother went to my father's side and knelt all night, hoping that my father would change his mind." "Mother cried all night, went to my father's side early in the morning, and called the eldest brother and second brother back." "Mother wants me to go to my sister's side. Avoid, mother said, father is not my sister's opponent." She said these words intermittently.

Qing Shu suppressed all the real emotions in her eyes, and asked calmly, "Did your father say when will you get married?"

"The eighth day of February." Gu Li replied worriedly.

Qing Shu looked at her and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"

Gu Li's expression was a little evasive, and there was a hint of shame, "I... don't want to marry a sick child, and I don't want to be a widow for the rest of my life. I don't know if my sister will help me, I just, I just don't want to let anyone get away Chance."

Qing Shu stopped talking, stared at a certain point in the room, and sat silently.

Gu Li was very nervous, twisting the handkerchief from time to time.After being silent for a long time, she couldn't stand the dull and silent atmosphere, so she lowered her head and wept silently.

Qing Shu glanced at her, and the displeasure flashed away.If crying can solve the problem, everyone can sit and cry without doing anything else.It's just, what kind of plan is Ma Shi planning? He even sent his daughter over to show Gu Yunfu's hole cards to her.

Qing Shu's long silence made Gu Li feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Gu Li is not Qing Shu, she is a girl who grew up under the wings of her parents and elder brother. Like women in this era, she is very dependent on others and lacks independence.Qingshu's silence, neither saying to help nor saying not to help, made her unacceptable and made her feel very uncomfortable.She had cried enough, sat with her head bowed for a while, and said tentatively, "Sister will be back soon, sister should spend more time with her bridesmaid."

Qing Shu didn't seem to understand the meaning of Gu Li's desire to be retained, so she said softly, "Sister, go slowly."
