The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 415 Chase (1)
"My boy has a classmate named Sun Mo, who is already a scholar. He is 20 years old this year. He is a good-looking person. He lives with his mother. Because of the poverty of his family, he has not married a wife yet. What the boy means is that it is better for the mother to hide it from the father. Promise Li'er to Sun Mo, and marry Li'er before the eighth day of February. As long as Li'er passes through the door, father will have to give up no matter what."

Mrs. Ma hesitated, "The family is struggling? How difficult is it?"

"Sun Mo's home is in the town. My son visited him three days ago. He lives in a detached courtyard, but the place is not as big as the one we rented. There are three main rooms in the courtyard, as well as a kitchen and a woodshed. He still needs to get a job. , so I have no serious errands. In my spare time, I write letters for others, take on some copying jobs, and supplement some household expenses. As for his mother, she is a very kind old man. home use."

Mrs. Ma was very disappointed, "Fame is not easy to test! With such a family background, there is no big income, how can he continue to seek fame? Although we are not from the rich and powerful, but your sister was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she can't bear that kind of hardship." .Ugh!"

Gu Qingjia sighed, "Mother, my child knows. But right now, there is no better way. Besides, when my younger sister gets married, it is okay to prepare a thicker dowry."

Ma Shi grabbed his son's sleeve, "No, Jiaer, there is a way, there is still a way."

"Mother, don't count on Sister Qingshu anymore. You've seen me too. Li'er was playing with her temper when she came back. She must have had something unpleasant with Sister Qingshu. Sister Qingshu didn't want to see us, and this kind of thing happened again. , there is no reason to help us!"

Mrs. Ma shook her head, "No, that's not what mother said. Qingshu's mother once gave mother a promise about Li'er's marriage. If she really can't think of a way, mother will have to brazenly ask for that promise."

At night, when Gu Li calmed down, Ma Shi went to her room, took her hand, coaxed her softly, and asked what happened in the ancient mansion during the day.Mrs. Ma asked Meier, but Meier was sent away at that time, so she didn't know anything.

Ma Shi coaxed, Gu Li's anger finally dissipated, and he told what happened.

After Madam Ma heard this, she restrained her anger and asked softly, "Li'er, why did you tell this matter without authorization? Mother said that when the time is right, Mother will tell Qingshu herself."

Gu Li bit her lips, "After Dad came here yesterday, I was very scared, I, I don't want to marry a sick child."

"Mother knows. It's just that I really want to tell Qingshu about that matter, but... alas! It's different when you open your mouth and tell mother. Not only that, mother has lived most of her life and knows how to speak so that she won't be embarrassed. People are disgusted."

Gu Li lowered her head, "Mother, I'm sorry, it's Li'er who is wayward."

"Forget it, this is the end of the matter, since you don't want to make friends with Qingshu, don't go to the ancient mansion in the future." When he said this, Ma's mood was very low.

"Mom, then..."

"Don't worry, I'll leave the rest of the matter to my mother." After hesitating over and over again, Mrs. Ma still mentioned the talented Sun Mo whom the eldest son said.

Gu Li shook her head, turned her back, and refused to talk to Ma Shi again.

Mrs. Ma returned to the house and sat there for a while, until her mother-in-law urged her to go to bed, then she came back to her senses.She looked at her mother-in-law, "Gu Ying, did Miss go out when I was away?"

The mother-in-law known as Ying Gu replied respectfully, "Mrs. Miss has never been out before."

Mrs. Ma was puzzled, and said to herself, "Then where did she hear all the rumors?"

After hearing this, Aunt Ying knelt down on the ground, "Madam, please punish me. This old slave did not report something to Madam."

Ma Shi did not speak, and stared at Aunt Ying who was kneeling down without anger.Yinggu was the dowry maid specially bought for her by her parents for appearance when she got married.Aunt Ying looks average, with a faint birthmark the size of a copper wire on her left cheek.Therefore, when the parents bought this dowry maid, they were not worried that my son-in-law would have any wrong thoughts about the dowry maid.In the years of her marriage to Gu Yunfu, she has experienced poverty, tasted wealth, and now she is down and out. From the beginning to the end, she kept Ying Gu by her side, and Ying Gu has always been loyal.

Aunt Ying knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head, "Go back to Madam, there is a girl named He Hua in the Song family on the left, when Madam is away, she will come to talk to Miss from time to time, and she will sit for an hour."

Ma asked quietly, "What did they say?"

"Miss doesn't let the old slave serve nearby, she always drives the old slave to stand at the gate of the courtyard."

Ma Shi was furious, but she was not the kind of person who yelled, and her voice was always lower than others, "If you dare to hide such things, you should be punished."

Aunt Ying pressed her forehead to the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Madam, there is one more thing. This old slave must report to Madam no matter what." Seeing that Mrs. Ma didn't say anything, she knew that Madam was listening, so she said, "I'm afraid, It's not only Song Hehua, but also the second young lady who raps in Miss's ear."

Ma Shi's heart skipped a beat, "What did you say?"

"Yesterday, the old slave passed by the lady's window, and overheard a few words from the second young lady's urging lady. When the old slave wanted to listen carefully, the second young master suddenly coughed behind the old slave. In this way, everyone in the house There was no movement. Not long after, the second young lady came out of the young lady's room, gave the old slave a slap, and warned the old slave not to talk too much, otherwise the old slave's tongue will be pulled out."

Madam Ma tightened the handkerchief in his hand, trembling with anger, "Is this after the master came, or before?"

"after."

"The second young lady slapped you, is the second young master here?"

"exist."

"What did the second young master say?"

"I didn't say anything, I turned around and went into the house."

"Get up first, I have something to ask you tomorrow."

Aunt Ying thanked her and left the house.

Marshal Ma closed his eyes, weeping silently.After crying silently for a while, she wiped away her tears, opened the cage, took out two boxes, and put them on the bed for inspection.A box contained the gold and silver jewelry she had accumulated over the years, most of which were unknown to Gu Yunfu.In another box, in addition to five 100 taels of silver bills, there were also several gold ingots, several silver ingots and some scattered silver.

These were accumulated by her with great difficulty, and were not searched by Gu Yunfu.After being married for so many years, she has already seen through this man, Gu Yunfu, and took some precautions, otherwise, what would she use to protect her children.It's just that, these years, the children are used to living a life of wealth and wealth, and they can't bear a bit of hardship.The children will have other ideas, but she has no choice but to be sad.

After a night of sleepless nights, after breakfast the next day, Mrs. Ma called her children into the room.

Gu Qingjia seemed to have anticipated something, and lonely put his young daughter on his lap, just staring at her playing with his fingers, without saying a word.
