The Sweet Little Fulang

When he was pulling cloth in the cloth village, Lu Gu remembered that because of the familiarity of the person just now, he had bought meat at the shop a few times, but he didn't know what it was called.

"I think this will work." Ji Qiuyue touched the fabric and said.

What he thought in his heart was not very different from the passing mist, after all he was a stranger, after he figured it out, he stopped being entangled, heard the words, reached out and touched the fabric, nodded and said: "It's not bad."

When asked, the price is a bit expensive, but it is made for children, as long as the material is good, it is fine.

Seeing that Ji Qiuyue wanted to say something to Shen Yan, but she hadn't spoken yet, he said directly: "Sister-in-law, no need, I'll dig out, pull more, and make clothes for mother."

"It's okay, I'll do it." Ji Qiuyue disagreed.

He persuaded again: "Erqing can go back every month to see, I only go back every one or two months, mother is busy at home, I can't do anything else, I will pay for it."

He spoke firmly, without any temptation or irony, Ji Qiuyue didn't want to quarrel too much when he was away from home, so as not to be seen as a joke, let alone a family, this time Lu Gu bought it, and next time there will be another Yes, it's her instead.

After tearing up the cloth, although it cost six coins and broken silver, Lu Gu didn't feel sorry for it at all. He had more than this little money in his hand, let alone for the child and Wei Lanxiang to wear.

Shen Yan carried the bundle of cloth on his arm, and the three of them happily walked to the shop while strolling. They saw a peddler selling cheap small silk flowers on the side of the road. Shen Yan was delighted to see it, so he bought a few.

As for the scholar they met just now, none of them paid much attention to it.

Gu Chengyue, who went to the embroidery workshop to buy handkerchiefs for his family, stood at the door for a while. It was the shopkeeper Zhou who saw him and asked him with a smile whether he was here to buy things or to be a doorkeeper, and he was relieved.

After entering the door, he saw Shopkeeper Zhou sorting out a stack of handkerchiefs. His heart moved and he asked, "Shopkeeper, did your embroiderer embroider this?"

"Where, those who just went out brought it for sale. What are you here to buy?" Shopkeeper Zhou asked with a smile.

"My mother asked me to buy a few handkerchiefs. The handkerchiefs used by my sisters are old. I happened to be going to buy books." Gu Chengyue replied.

His eyes fell on those handkerchiefs, and he recalled that the woman and husband were both holding the child, but the girl behind had a joyful smile on her face. After thinking about it, it must have been sold for money, and then he changed his mind, that girl was dressed as a girl , should not have left the cabinet yet.

"So, look at these, the workmanship is pretty good." Shopkeeper Zhou didn't say clearly that Shen Yan sent it. He was not married at first glance, and the embroidered handkerchiefs were sold outside, and some of them would end up in the hands of men. Not loud.

Gu Chengyue knew this truth and didn't ask too much, even if it wasn't embroidered by the girl just now, the family would always use it.

He didn't pay much attention to handkerchiefs in the past, but today he took a closer look at them, and found that the embroidery patterns are still very good, and it looks like the work of meticulous people.

The Gu family lives in Lanzhi Lane, Dongxing Street. They are natives of Jixing Town. They have [-] acres of fertile land outside the town. There is also a incense candle shop at home. Paper money for incense candles is something they often buy, whether it is weddings, funerals, or sacrifices during the New Year. Therefore, even if his family could not be called a non-member rich man, they could still be considered a little rich.

After buying all the handkerchiefs and books, Gu Chengyue returned home. He sat on the desk in front of the window and read a book, but he couldn't read it at all, and his mind always slipped to things that had nothing to do with books.

He suddenly remembered that the husband who was holding the child was the one who sold rabbit meat in the town.

Since the butcher shop selling rabbits opened, the family sometimes wanted to eat wild animals that were different from chickens, ducks and fish. He went to buy them a few times and met Lu Gu.

It used to belong to that family.

"Chengyue." The mother in the courtyard shouted as she walked into the room.

"Mother." Gu Chengyue got up from the desk.

"Come, come and sit." Mrs. Gu sat down at the tea table, and said with a happy face, "When you got up early and went to the academy, Sun Matchmaker came over and said that there is a good marriage..."

When mentioning this matter, Gu Chengyue showed a bit of bitterness and helplessness on his face, and interrupted: "Mother, I..."

"Mother, what mother, let me tell you little bastard, this time you have to go, or you have to go if you don't!" Aunt Gu's temper rose, and her voice raised a lot.

Gu Chengyue was reprimanded, and he didn't dare to talk back to his old lady. He didn't want to go to see each other because of the two years of talking about marriage, and there was always this and that. In the end, it all got dirty, and his heart gradually became unhappy, so he just buried himself in studying hard. , one mind only study.

Aunt Gu knew what was on his mind, and sighed, feeling that the marriage was not going well, not to mention her son, even she felt aggrieved, so she tried to persuade her: "You are sixteen now, and you are too old to speak of your age. , the marriage should be settled, no one can tell the fate, but if you don't go, how can you bump into it."

"Matchmaker Sun told me that the girl's appearance and conduct are first-class. Although she is from the country and is two years younger than you, her elder brother opened a shop in our town. I sent you there last time. Remember the one that bought the rabbits?"

"As for the girl's two elder brothers, they are not often in our town. I have seen her several times. The tallest one seems to be her second elder brother. He looks really handsome. His sister is not far behind... "

Aunt Gu was talking on the phone for a long time. After Gu Chengyue heard the butcher shop, he couldn't hear what was going on behind him. His mind buzzed, and he couldn't believe it.

The word fate gradually emerged in his mind.

He looked like an idiot in a daze, so angry that Mrs. Gu slapped him on the left arm and cursed: "I'm talking to you, did you listen?"

She originally wanted to slap her head, but her son has been studying well since he was a child, and he was reluctant to start his head.

Gu Chengyue suppressed the throbbing in his heart, tried his best to steady his voice and asked: "Mother, when will you go?"

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she immediately beamed with joy and said, "What's the hurry? I haven't told you yet. I'll go back to Sun Matchmaker and ask her to tell her. In fact, she's not here today to be a matchmaker. She's just here to buy paper money. She heard the old lady in the Yang's tavern say that there is a girl in their family, and Sun Matchmaker asked a few more questions, so she came over today and said a few words to me, don't you guys have something to say? , this is called unintentionally inserting willows, isn't it?"

The last time I told Gu Chengyue that he was close, he was unwilling to see anyone, but this time he finally thought about it, Mrs. Gu was so happy that she even talked a lot, and she slapped her thigh after speaking: "Look at me, let me talk to you and do things like this." What, it's more important to find Matchmaker Sun first."

Leaving aside the Gu family's side, Aunt Gu asked Matchmaker Sun to inquire about the news.

Shen Yaoqing took his wife and sister home a few days ago, and there are only Shen Xuanqing and Lu Gu in the town.

Brother Ling didn't have stomach troubles anymore, and he didn't cry and hurt anymore. He had eaten deliciously in the past two days, and after sweeping the yard in the morning, Lu Gu had nothing to do, so he took the child to the shop for a walk.

As soon as he came in, he found Mrs. Yan sitting inside and drinking tea, he smiled and said, "Master, are you free today? Why didn't Master come?"

"Dear heart." When Yan saw Brother Xiaoling, he took it and hugged it in his arms. It hurt like his eyes. The second boy of their family is handsome, and the husband is also good-looking. Even the baby he gave birth to is so beautiful. lovely.

After teasing Ling Jun for a while, she said: "The restaurant is not busy today. Your master and Lao Wang went to his house to unload persimmons. They are ripe on the tree, so sweet. You two will remember the past take."

"Understood." Shen Xuanqing agreed, he poured a cup of tea for Lu Gu, said with a smile: "Master is here today to talk about Yanyan's marriage, there is a suitable family in town, 16 years old, two years older than Yanyan At the age of [-], his family has a field and a shop, he is not a rich man, he is similar to us, but he is from Jixing Town."

Mrs. Yan was only focused on holding the child just now, and when he heard him talk, she hurriedly said to Lu Gu: "The shop is on Dongxing Street, it is the one that sells incense, candles and paper money. The child is studying, and he passed his childhood two years ago. This year he was admitted to the scholar again, he is promising, I have seen him before, he looks upright, he is not as tall as the second boy, but he is not short among other men."

"How about his family?" Lu Gu asked subconsciously.

Yan said with a smile: "Ms. Gu's family is diligent, but she has a loud voice. Doesn't their family have a incense and candle shop? I went there a few times to buy them, and they are clean. Her eldest son is Gu Chengyue, who just wants to be with us. The geese and the geese looked at each other, there was an older sister on the top, married in the town, and often went back to her mother's house close by, and there were younger brothers and sisters on the bottom, all young, not yet ready for marriage."

"The Gu family's family background should be okay. The incense and candle shop has been open for many years, and they don't dress poorly. In the past few years I have been here, and I have heard about a few streets. The incense candle and Gu family are good. Don't argue with others, even his Eldest sister, married to an honest and responsible teahouse manager, I have never heard of having any quarrels with others, let alone arguing."

Shen Xuanqing finished listening, and said: "I'll go back and look around. If it's feasible, go home and talk to my mother, and let her come and have a look."

"It's natural." When Yan heard that Wei Lanxiang was coming, he paused and laughed again: "When the time comes, let me come and live with me for two more days, so you can talk to me. I won't be able to go back to the village for a few days at the end of the year." This time, I haven't seen many people, let her tell me."

"Success." Shen Xuanqing didn't twitch. The Yan family was not an outsider after all, so she naturally cared. The marriage he was looking for sounds good. As long as the family doesn't fight and quarrel frequently, they can consider it.

The autumn wind was rustling, and the remaining dead leaves on the persimmon trees in the yard were blown off. There was not a single leaf left, and they became bare branches.

There are too many persimmons for the two of them to eat. Lu Gu wanted to take care of the children by himself, so he only dried some persimmons and did not make persimmons. The tree is so lush that he left some hard persimmons to store and eat slowly in winter. .

The weather is not very good these few days, so we have to postpone the marriage talk, and we can't see each other on a stormy day, which is unlucky.

Shen Xuanqing was in the shop, it was windy and cold outside, Lu Gu didn't take the child out, and Brother Ling was also smart, he insisted on going out in the morning, so he was carried out, maybe it made his face cold, after Brother Ling was carried back No more clamoring to go out to play.

The child is one year old and is learning to walk recently. He can walk a few steps while leaning on the wall or holding on to the wooden railing at the head of the bed.

"Come, come to E'mu, I'll give you steamed buns." Lu Gu put the child on the bed, and stood beside the bed to lure him with hot steamed buns.

"Woof!" Guaizi was also in the room, he stepped back a few steps and barked at the child on the bed, as if to let him come over.

Brother Ling was originally sitting on the bed, unwilling to move, but when he saw the momo, he stood up holding onto the wooden railing. The child had strength in his hands and could pull himself up by himself. The bar moved forward slowly, walking fairly steadily.

The bed is covered with a thick mattress, so you won't be afraid of your child's pain.

When Brother Ling walked over step by step, he threw himself into Lu Gu's arms to grab the steamed buns. He picked up his son, kissed his fair fleshy face, his eyes were full of joy: "It's amazing!"

The child is getting older and can understand compliments, Brother Ling laughed, the white and small teeth are not fully grown, not to mention the other small teeth, the two small front teeth are like little rabbits.

Only the two of them were at home, Lu Gu couldn't hold back, and gently pinched his son's fleshy cheek with Shen Xuanqing behind his back, it was soft and sticky, like a small dumpling.
