C181 Pressing down the gourd and scooping up the ladle

The eldest daughter-in-law held back her desire to see what the New daughter-in-law who had such a big background looked like.

Everyone in the village was curious if the maidservants that came from a wealthy family were as smart and intelligent as the legends said. Some were even curious to see what the Gu family's steward looked like.

They had met the young master of the Gu family before, and he had a good figure and looks, and he was very handsome.

They had also seen the attendants by the Young Master Gu's side. Even if they couldn't compare to the Young Master Gu, they could easily see them in the crowd of people.

The Minister was called in by the Chen family to help entertain the guests.

Hearing that this girl was related to the Gu family, the Minister frowned, but quickly covered up and went back. He then quietly asked the Chen family about Lady Xiu Chi and her uncle.

Uncle Chen threw the topic of the cigarette to his wife. He blinked his eyes and recounted the matchmaker's introduction.

She wanted to show off, and modified her speech a bit more, to the matchmaker, to make this Miss Xiu Chi seem like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world. Chen Erniu was even more unwilling to listen to her, so he simply hid outside the house.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the matchmaker finally brought the girl to her door, together with her parents.

The second carriage arrived at the Chen family's main entrance, and the matchmaker took the lead to alight. The Chen family's eldest daughter-in-law s had long been arranged by her mother-in-law to work in the courtyard, and were waiting for someone to notify them.

Seeing that the person had come, he spoke to the room at a leisurely pace.

The people in the room all came out to welcome him.

When the matchmaker and Aunt Chen were still quite a distance away from each other, she had already sized up the girl. Seeing that the girl looked pretty good, she was even more satisfied. As she said that Erniu should go and tie the carriage, she realised that her youngest son was not by her side. The Chen family's Dalang replied and took the reins from Gu Xiu Chi's father.

Uncle Chen took the opportunity when the people in front of him were busy talking to him to quickly grab hold of the eldest son, telling him to tie the horse up and quickly bring his little brother back.

The Chen family's Dalang frowned as he promised. His intuition told him that today's incident wouldn't go smoothly and his stubborn little brother would definitely give him a hard time if he were to turn stubborn.

The matchmaker was a step behind, and when the Aunt Chen walked in, she asked in a low voice, "His wife, why didn't I see your family's two oxen?"

Aunt Chen's face revealed a bit of awkwardness as she smiled and said, "You're so good at kung fu, yet that brat went to the toilet. Wait a while, he'll be back in a while."

The matchmaker looked at her in disapproval, "Your family's two oxen are really something. When it comes to the real chapter, you said that he was scratching his butt. You know that going to the toilet isn't any problem for him."

Although our family's Erniu is not the type who knows how to talk, he has never been one to be afraid of others. Just talking about the rest, saying that he worked outside with his brother for so many years has definitely increased his knowledge. As for that young lady, from start to finish, she was cold and did not say anything, so why do I feel that she is unhappy, or is she just a mute? "

Besides, if she really is dumb, then the Gu family can let her be a servant girl. Don't be so kind and treat her like a mule, since I've already tied this line to you, if you really dislike her, then I won't say anything anymore. I will take this girl back now, so let's not waste any more time. It will also save your family the trouble of falling into the latrine and not being able to get out. "

"Tsk, look at what you're saying. Our family is that kind of people, how could we not match? That girl is so handsome, don't mess around. Boss, hurry up and call your little brother back. Hurry up."

After chasing away the Chen family's Dalang, she turned around and tugged at the corner of the matchmaker's shirt as she whispered, "Why is her parents here? Didn't they say there's an uncle who's a housekeeper in the Gu family's old mansion?"

"Hmph, uncle, I also need time to come, and besides, this girl still wants her parents to be in charge. Her uncle, not to mention the Gu family's steward, even the duke of the Gu family can't come knocking on the door on the first day. What, this doesn't believe me, if you don't believe me, just tell me."

I didn't say anything. With just that sentence, you pulled out such a big pile of words. You can do it, I know you have a head full of reputation, the words you say all have weight, they aren't like those matchmakers.

"I can finally tell that you're using your words to mock me." The matchmaker looked at Aunt Chen with a smile that was not a smile.

The more Chen Erniu avoided looking at her, the more worried she became. In his heart, he had already made up his mind that the marriage had to be set, to avoid his son's Ox-head stubborn temper making things difficult for her.

Therefore, he quickly smiled: "Of course not, you're overthinking it. I still believe you when I say that. If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have asked you to come and kiss me."

"Hmph, that's more like it."

Aunt Chen held the matchmaker's arm and let her in. eldest daughter-in-law was currently pouring some water for the Gu family members, and when she turned her head and saw her and the matchmaker's affectionate smile, she could not help but feel her heart ache. She turned to look at Xiu Chi with a bland expression, and immediately curled his lips, but coincidentally, Xiu Chi happened to see it.

At the same time, he also wished that he could leave immediately. However, the moment he stood up, his mother shot him a fierce glance and glanced at his father from the corner of her eyes as a warning.

However, she didn't give up and always thought that there would still be a day when she could turn things around. Later, when Gu Yan left, her uncle didn't dare to bring her back to the inner courtyard, so she simply decided to return home, but once she returned, her days wouldn't be too good. Her mother said that she couldn't hide the things that happened in the mansion from her parents, but her father didn't want to look at her and gave her a harsh lesson, then he started to search for her grandma for fear that she would cause more trouble.

Today, her father agreed to escort her to the carriage. When he arrived, he even said that if there was any more trouble, he wouldn't acknowledge her as his daughter.

How could she dare to disobey her father? She could only suppress the ten million in her heart, unwilling to follow him.

When he found out that it was the Tian Jia Wan, he naturally thought of Song Zhixiao. Then, he remembered that it was only after Song Zhixiao's incident that Gu Xin returned to the capital.

Thus, when he saw this family, he did not have a smile on his face.

The fact that Chen Erniu had not revealed himself for a long time made her even more uncomfortable.

The Chen family's Dalang found Chen Erniu in the backyard, suppressed his voice and scolded his little brother, before bringing him back to the house.

Chen Erniu did not say much, but he was not like his mother who did not even know how to call people.

After entering the room and hearing his father's words, he called for his subordinates, glanced at Xiu Chi, and then lowered her head.

From the looks of it, it was impossible for him and Mian Niang to be together again. This lady was born into a place without any lack of talent, and his parents seemed to be very satisfied with her. This marriage, was most likely to be decided just like that.

Mian Niang came back a little late in the afternoon and also brought back two orders for the tofu business. She brought back the beans as well.

She thought that if she could order more and more tofu, she might still be able to be light and nimble during those few days when she rushed over to New Year's. It was just that the brine in her house was almost gone, and her little brother's ink and paper should be ready soon as well. She could not let him use the bald pen any longer, as she would have to go to the city in the next two days.

It was a pity, if Jiang Ting's ink and brush had not been thrown away by his mother, he would have been able to save some money.

After going over the mountain, they coincidentally met Song Zhien who had just returned from school with another classmate. They stopped and let the three children get on the car.

Mian Niang was not interested in participating in their conversation, but was willing to learn more about Song Zhien's performance in the academy from their conversation.

The donkey cart entered the village, and the other two got off the carriage to return home. Song Zhien got off the carriage, opened the door, and Mian Niang led the donkey cart into the courtyard. The main house's door was opened, and Aunt Chen walked out from the main house.

She replied as she turned her head to look at Mian Niang, and immediately put on a smile: "You're back, Mian Niang?"

"Yes, I'm back. Why don't you stay for a while, Aunt Chen? "

"No, how was it today? Is tofu easy to sell?"

"Not bad. Tofu is not hard to sell now. "Why did you come here?" Mian Niang raised his eyebrows, he already had an expectation in mind.

Aunt Chen's expression was a little awkward, she turned around and looked at the expressionless Madame Song, then forced a smile: "Nothing, sigh, no way, Er Niu's blind date is done, we have decided on a marriage this year, with the coming of spring, we might have to settle the matter of marriage between the two of them. I am thinking about embroidering a pair of pillowcases for them. I came to look for you because your mother has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. You really did find the right path, didn't you say? Um, Mian Niang, you guys stay busy first, I'll go back first. The sky is so short, and it will be dark soon. "

Her words were spoken quickly and anxiously, as if she was afraid that Mian Niang would interrupt her, and she left very quickly as well.

Mian Niang turned around to look at his mother who was standing at the doorway, and said with extreme helplessness, "There's no need to say anymore, I know that you want to teach me a lesson again."
