Chapter 72 Status and Relocation (Part 2)
Gui Chongyang and Gui Wu, Gui Chun walked in front, and after hearing a word, the corners of his mouth twitched. He remembered that Grandpa Zhang and the Zhang family called him "Miss Saner" first. He could tell Jiang directly not to call him "Miss Saner", but it was hard to say this to the Zhang family directly, which was too impolite.
Mei said: "With the old fifth person is here, he dare not."
As for the incident of threatening and extorting Mei Tong's life before Xiao Chongyang for the whereabouts of Mei Duo's biological mother, there is no need to tell anyone about it, so Mei Shi hid it and did not say it.
Aunt Zhang nodded without any doubt. Mei Tong, who had always been stingy, was willing to take out ten acres of land and more than ten taels of silver. Isn’t it just for Gui Wushou? Li Facai’s family has always only entered, so where can they get out? This time, he also obediently paid for Yang Mu.
Because of these two things, Gui Wu's prestige in the village has always reached its peak. It is the Zhang family, who has been neighbors with Gui Er's grandfather's family for decades, dare not be too casual and unrestrained in front of Gui Wu.
As long as he spoke, he went to Grandpa Gui Er's house.
Jiang came out of the upper room with a broom and wanted to unload things with everyone, but was stopped by Grandma Gui: "There are so many people, you are so happy."
Even so, Jiang was not good at watching, so he took a small item and helped Mei's aunt and nephew clean up the house.
Gui Wu, Gui Chun and others unloaded their luggage and went back to the old house to move the bookcase.
Gui Chongyang still lives with Guichun, but not in the east wing, but in the west room. It was proposed by Gui Wu. Although it was only temporarily staying for two months, if it was arranged by Grandpa Gui Er, there would be five people living in the two rooms in the east wing, which was too crowded, let alone the unmarried couple Guichun and Mei Duo, which was there, so it was inconvenient.
When Gui Chun moved to the west room, he vacated a bedroom, so it was difficult for Mei's aunt and nephew to live there. Yang moved over and vacated his house for Mei's aunt and nephew.
Mei felt a little uneasy and thanked Yang repeatedly.
Yang smiled and said, "It's all a family, what are the heretics? Your aunt and nephew need to set up an embroidery frame, and the house is brighter."
Mei Duo followed her aunt, but she felt relieved. Living next to her was different from living in the same house. She thought she would live in the same house with Yang before, but Mei Duo was always worried.
Grandma Gui went directly to the east room to tell the old man about writing a wedding letter, which required a wedding letter and a matchmaker to witness it. Grandpa Gui thought for a while and made a decision: "The Song family has a wedding letter, please ask Mrs. Song to come!"
This Song Mama is a matchmaker in the village. The Gui family had entrusted her with Guichun's affairs before, but she was urging her to stop her. However, now she is using it, and the second grandma Gui won't be angry and will not find anyone. She said, "That old woman will leave!"
When we arrived at the main hall, the second grandma Gui went directly to the west room, and Gui Chongyang was sorting out the bookcase.
Grandma Gui hesitated for a moment and greeted Gui Chongyang and said, "Let's go, accompany the old woman to the Song family."
Gui Chongyang responded and followed Gui's second grandmother out.
He was also a little curious about the Song family in Murakami. The Song family is an old family in Mujia Village. The father and son have passed down to serve as doctors for generations, while the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have passed down to serve as matchmakers for generations, and can deliver children for generations. They all have a skill. They are a family that cannot live without in the village. However, the population is a little thin, not as large as the four surnames Gui, Mei, Yang and Li.
Grandma Gui left immediately without any hesitation, stood in the yard and shouted to Yang, "Add two more dishes at noon, I will take Chongyang to invite Mrs. Song!"
Yang immediately responded and asked again: "Do you want to prepare two chickens alone?"
Grandma Gui nodded and said, "Central."
After instructing his daughter-in-law, the second grandma Gui took Gui Chongyang out and said while walking: "With living in the village, there are several families that cannot be offended, one is the Song family. Otherwise, there will be no place to see a doctor. The doctor in the town is expensive, so who dares to go see him? Even if you don't see a doctor, this family will have to marry a daughter and have a child, and they will be unable to live without the Song family! His eldest grandson is studying in the village school, and you will be able to meet him in the future and get along well."
Gui Chongyang responded and said, "Is there anyone else who can't offend me?"
"The Lin family also needs to provide for it!" said the second grandma Gui, "The people do not fight with officials. The Lin family has tribe members who are officials in Beijing. It is not something that we ordinary people can offend. Besides, the Lin family is kind. When your third grandma sold the land, she took our Gui family. She often brought grain to the village over the years, which is a kindness."
"What about the Du family?" Gui Chongyang said.
Grandma Gui didn't say anything for a long time, and said for a while: "Du Lizheng had just become a Lizheng before, and two families in the village were dissatisfied and quarreled twice, and finally moved. The Du family, beware!"
Things are precious when leaving your hometown, and people are cheap when leaving your hometown. Who would want to move if you can continue to live? This involves household registration, land, and relationships with human nature. If you are forced to leave your hometown?
Du Li was ruthless and did not leave any room for anyone. This was true for the Gui family, and for the two "chicken" who wanted to "kill chickens and scare monkeys".
The time of speaking reached the door of the Song family.
The structure of the Song family is similar to that of Grandpa Gui Er's house, except that there are three rooms in the east and west wings. The yard is covered with blue bricks, and there are no poultry raised, so many herbs are dried. An old woman in her fifties is squatting on the ground, bringing herbs with a little girl. When she heard something happening at the door, she forgot to come over.
Seeing that it was Grandma Gui Second Grandma, the woman stood up and greeted her: "Sister-in-law Gui Second is here, but what are you feeling uncomfortable?" As she said that, she looked at Grandma Gui Second Grandma Gui, and saw that the old lady's face was rosy, she looked at Gui Chongyang beside her again.
Grandma Gui waved her hand and said, "I'm in good health, I'm not going to find your old Song, but I'm just asking you to come. Chun'er is going to get engaged and I'll find you to write a marriage letter!"
Mrs. Song was stunned and then smiled and said, "That's great, thank you for your wine!"
Grandma Gui said happily: "I have prepared all thanks to the matchmaker."
Mrs. Song called the two of them into the house and called her granddaughter to bring sugar water.
Doctor Song was also at home. Because he had Second Grandma Gui there, he did not enter the house. He only looked at Gui Chongyang at the door and said, "Is this the grandson of Brother Gui's family?"
The second grandma Gui nodded and said, "It's just this only child named Chongyang, and it's twelve this year." She said to Gui Chongyang again, "Call Grandpa Song quickly."
Gui Chongyang had already stood up and bowed to Dr. Song.
Doctor Song nodded and said, "He is a neat child, as old as our 37-year-old, and often comes to play in the future." After that, he walked away with his hands.
"Sanqi is my eldest grandson, and he is twelve years old. Now he is studying in a school." Mrs. Song changed her clothes and came in and said.
Song Pozi's daughter-in-law was not at home. Song Pozi took the blank wedding letter, ordered his granddaughter a few words, and then came out with the second grandma Gui and Gui Chongyang.
"But said that girl Mei Duo?" Mrs. Song asked with a smile.
"I guessed it, it's that girl!" said the second grandma Gui.
"After all, I'm close to the water and have a cheap genius. Now I'm not thinking about Duomei. Yesterday, Li Dazhu's family asked me to ask their second boy about the question." said Mrs. Song.
The second boy from Li Dazhu's family was the fool who was injured when the wild boar was catching the wild boar yesterday. Gui Chongyang compared him with Gui Chun in his heart and found that his cousin was more reliable.
Grandma Gui also took pride and said: "It's not that the old woman praised her grandson, but among the younger generations in this village, we Chun'er can count them."
Mrs. Song said, "Duo Yatou has a dowry of five acres, and it is the first among the daughters in our village. The dowry has been put out. What bets are prepared for the second sister-in-law?"
It’s not that Mrs. Song is very gossipy, but that both betrothal gifts and dowry must be written into the wedding letter.
After Mei Tong's life was promoted, everyone knew that Mei Duo had five acres of dowry land and eight taels of dowry silver. Otherwise, so many people would not have been optimistic about Mei Duo at once. She used to be disliked by her father and mother, but now she has land and money, and her shortcomings have also become better. Without a family to rely on, then the dowry would be free to enter the door.
Grandma Gui straightened her chest and said, "I discussed with the old man before, we will pay eight taels of silver as a betrothal gift."
Although according to common practice, the betrothal gift is equivalent to the dowry, because Mei Duo has a dowry field, the Gui family can't hold on to this number, so they can only count on the wedding silver in Mei Duo's hands. That's it, there are too many in the village. If Gui Wu had not come back and gave Gui's second grandma dozens of taels of silver, Gui wouldn't have been so confident.
Mrs. Song was shocked and knew that the Gui family had really started.
*
The marriage letter is in duplicate, and each man and woman deposit one. The two media must be filled in on it, both the male matchmaker and the female matchmaker.
Although Mrs. Song was invited by Mrs. Gui, she acted as a matchmaker on the female side; where the male matchmaker, Mr. Gui went directly to invite Mr. Zhang over.
The wedding letter said that the 800s of silver was hired, so Grandpa Gui Er took out a few small ingots prepared and let Mei take them away.
The old couple of Gui family ordered the betrothal gift so high that they were to give Mei Duo a face, so that they could give Mei Duo a dowry with money, so that they could save themselves the subsidy.
But Mei had no intention of using it, and had already made up his mind to give the eight taels of silver to Mei Duo.
The marriage is written and the name is decided.
Mei Duo has never appeared and is avoiding him in the east wing; Gui Chun is still blushing, but she is hard to say she is excited.
Gui Chongyang watched a show and was thinking about Mei Duo’s birthday.
Mei Duo is born in April, and there are still ten months to go to next year and the wedding date. After the wedding date is mostly after the wedding, it is time to start preparing a dowry for Mei Duo when the house is completed.
Six dishes were prepared for lunch, and the housewarming banquet was counted as the engagement banquet.
Seeing that Mei Duo wanted to look good and have a dowry, Aunt Zhang was envious. However, their two older sons were engaged and waited for their daughter-in-law to enter the house. The younger one was apart again, so she could only be envious.
Yang had complained about Mrs. Song because his eldest son couldn't say about the marriage, so he took the initiative to pour wine and took a step back. After the eldest son's marriage was booked, it was the second child's turn, and there would be some trouble for Mrs. Song in the future.
Who doesn’t know what Yang had complained about before? But that’s impossible. Gui Wu didn’t come back before, and the Gui family had no hope of life. Guichun was the eldest grandson again, so it was hard to say that the couple of old men above were divorced. When it was Gui Qiu’s turn, it wouldn’t be like this. The second child always had to be separated, and the Gui family’s life was up again, so it wouldn’t be difficult to be a matchmaker by himself.
After drinking and eating, Mrs. Song left with a big rooster who was used as a matchmaker.
