Jiaohua Growth Guide [Rebirth]

The day after he brought the little girl back from Lu's residence last time, Gu Ci didn't go to the old man Xu's pork jerky to help out. These days, he was at home with the little girl and was busy with trivial matters.As soon as the little girl left, Gu Ci couldn't get used to it. After a while, he unconsciously called the little girl's name. It took a long time to hear a response before he realized it. Inexplicably, he felt that this not-so-big room seemed a little deserted. stand up.

However, in the next few days, Gu Ci didn't have time to think about it. Since the little girl is going to marry from Lu's mansion, the courtesy of the engagement cannot be missed. It's just that she has no elders who are in charge of the family, and she doesn't have a matchmaker. I also saw that the old customs in the village were somewhat familiar, but if I really wanted to get ready, I would be blind.

Aunt Bangen knew about the situation and took the initiative to act as the matchmaker. Wu Jingshu stopped helping in the shop and did her best to help Gu Ci buy things.

To Gu Ci's surprise, on the afternoon of the [-]th, the three aunts from the grandfather's family came to the door with their things in their hands, and Sanmei also followed.

Gu Ci was about to lock the door and go to Linglong Pavilion to get the wedding dress, when he bumped into several people head-on, he froze in place, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Why, you still hold grudges. I said a few words to you that day, so that you are going to disown your aunts?" The eldest aunt He Shi's face was not as kind as before. "Isn't tea going to invite us to drink a few cups?"

"Auntie." Gu Ci knew He Shi's mischievous temperament, came back to his senses, hurriedly greeted with a smile, then quickly opened the door and invited a few people into the room.

Gu Ci came to the door with his things that day, and when he spoke the third sentence, he threw such a thunderbolt from the blue sky. These mud-legged people who have never seen the market, how could they bear it? They all thought that Gu Ci had earned a lot in the town now If you don’t want money, you have to learn how those frivolous women behave.

In their view, it is right for a man to marry a daughter-in-law to carry on the family line and pass on the incense, but these two women cannot bear children together, and they cannot bear the pillars of the family. What should I do when I am old?

Besides, these two girls are married, and they all sang from the playbook. Isn't it a joke for them to make such a fuss?

Back then the whole Li family saw how devoted Gu Ci was to the little girl, and they didn't talk too much. Firstly, the little girl was really likable, and secondly, they also saw that the little girl had such a good temper. In the future, if they can talk about a good family, they will be able to do more in the future. Take care of Gu Ci's sister.

Never thought that Gu Ci is so dedicated, he is a family-raised daughter-in-law.If the elder sister of my family was a man, they would definitely not say a word about this marriage, but both of them are girls, especially this little girl is still delicate, isn't it a burden to my niece? ?

Calculated layer by layer, everyone in the Li family felt that these two people were really messing around, and they were not willing to come and drink wedding wine.But Gu Ci is not a good talker, he either doesn't respond to the advice of the elders, or pushes them back in a hurry.

Now, after a few days of calm, the Li family felt somewhat embarrassed because the two uncles of the Li family were actually working in Lu Ming's shop because of Gu Ci's relationship.Moreover, the women are all soft-hearted, thinking about the love the three siblings had for her in the past, and thinking that this will really ruin the relationship between relatives, and they are a little bit reluctant.

In the end, it was Blacksmith Li who spoke, "Eldest sister has always had her own ideas, and she is also a one-sided character. Since she made this decision by herself and came to tell us, she really treats us as a family. Although we are For her sake, in the end it's their life."

I thought that the most stubborn old man let go, and everyone in the Li family, who had already softened their minds, naturally followed the old man's steps.As soon as his heart softened, he didn't care about this matter and became annoyed. Instead, he thought that the three of them had no elders to take care of them. After some discussion, several female relatives in the family hurriedly took some food and vegetables from home, and hurried to the door coming.

It's just that the quarrel was so unpleasant that day, especially He Shi, she had originally thought of leaving the little girl as her daughter-in-law, but now that she knew that Gu Ci had such an idea, she somehow felt that her niece was not close to herself, Beware of myself, even if I greeted Gu Ci with a smile, I couldn't hold back my face for a while, went into the room and sat there, looked around, didn't see the little girl, and got a little angry again, "Jiao girl Could it be that you have also lost your temper with us, look at the house for so long, and haven't seen anyone."

"If she hears the words of my aunt, she will probably shed tears again. She really likes you." Gu Ci knew that his aunt was angry, and he didn't care about her. He poured tea for her first, and still smiled. Confidently, "Before, Jiaojiao got the attention of Boss Lu in the town and recognized her as his righteous sister. Now that she knows that she is going to get married, she specially took her to his house and let the little girl get married from his house."

The third uncle and Yang Shi mentioned this matter, and Yang Shi interjected, "I heard from your third uncle, this Boss Lu is a noble son from the capital, and he is really kind to the little girl."

Knowing that this charming girl's identity is a bit unusual, Hua Shi felt a little melancholy, glanced at Gu Ci, frowned and said: "It's for no reason, how can you be so good?"

"That little girl is lovable." He took a sip of tea, and now that his two sons have kissed each other, he still feels a little regretful when he thinks of the little girl's picturesque and well-behaved appearance, but this fat water hasn't flowed into the fields of outsiders. , Thinking about it, I feel a little comforted, "The appearance is juicy, and the mouth looks like drinking honey, who doesn't like it?"

"Auntie boasted her proud temper." Gu Ci put down the teapot, turned around and took out the prepared wedding candy from the cabinet, "It's also fate, that Mr. Lu mistook her at the Lantern Festival that day. Now that she is old, she feels that Jiaojiao is close, so she recognizes her as a righteous sister."

"A blessed one."

Gu Ci smiled, didn't reply, and sat down together, calling a few aunts to eat.

The few people chatted over a cup of tea, and the previous embarrassment was gone. The aunts were all from the past, and they knew that getting married was the busiest. After drinking tea, they didn't talk about what they had, but asked It's time to get down to business, "Since Jiao girl has a married woman's family, these gifts of engagement are indispensable. Are you ready for these? According to the custom, some of the gifts of engagement are to be given at the time of engagement, but You two... Now that you are a serious monk, you need a matchmaker to help you manage some things... Hey, you little bastards, you don't have a plan for doing things, so you can do what you say..."

"Isn't it because you know there is an aunt?" Gu Ci put on a good face, "Besides, you don't have to worry, I've mentioned all these aunts."

Hearing this, He frowned, "Is this Bangen sister-in-law an enthusiastic one?"

"Aunt Bangen took care of our siblings in the village." Gu Ci nodded, and now she has also felt the temperament of her aunt. She is a kind person, but she just hopes to be the first in everything. Her mind is easy to make trouble, and she also heard the sourness in her tone, so she didn't want to continue to say this, so she looked at Sanmei who hadn't spoken to her, "I didn't see you last time, it looks good again Quite a few, Second Aunt, Sanmei promised to kiss her?"

Speaking of this matter, Hua Shi was very worried, "She is bewitched, since she learned the embroidery skills from the charming girl, she hides in the house to embroider every day, and the matchmaker can't even get in the door, how can she do it?" Talk about kissing? It makes me worry to death."

"Second Aunt, don't worry, Sanmei is still young."

"Still young? Jiao girl is a few months younger than her, and she's already married." Shi Hua sighed, but she felt a little more relieved when she thought about how much the Li family valued Sanmei, "Let's see her luck. "

Gu Ci glanced at Sanmei, the two looked at each other and smiled, and she comforted her again: "Fate is here, and you can't even hide, probably because Sanmei, the red luan star, has not moved."

Hua sighed, "Hey, let's not talk about this, you have a lot of things to do, a few aunts can't put on makeup for you, but they can still help you with some work, the new house is ready... ..."

Gu Ci also knew that they couldn't be idle, so he was not polite, so he went back one by one, and didn't stop a few aunts to help. After saying hello, he went to Linglong Pavilion to get the wedding dress first.

Sanmei's hands are delicate now, and she can't do rough work, and the little girl is not at home, she heard Gu Ci going to Linglong Pavilion, she was a little moved, and followed.

Linglong Pavilion is rich and powerful, it is not just a shop like other shops, but has two floors, luxuriously decorated, at first glance it might be a restaurant.

Sanmei has long heard of the reputation of the embroiderer in Linglong Pavilion, and today she came to see it with admiration. She followed Gu Ci in, and the spitting appearance of the country girl was fully revealed, looking at those exquisite women. Embroidery and silky fabrics, I can't move my eyes, I slipped carefully over a piece of cloud satin, and said with Gu: "Elder sister, the things in Linglong Pavilion are not cheap, right?"

Before Gu Ci could answer, a woman with a double goat bun came over and knocked off Sanmei's hand, "Where are you country girls, are you not afraid that you will touch dirty things with your hands and feet, and you can afford to buy them dirty? "

Being scolded in public, Sanmei was extremely ashamed, but she also knew that she had lost her composure, so she lowered her head and apologized softly.

But the woman with the goat bun was persistent, pointing at her and scolding her non-stop, Gu Ci really hated her domineering look, "It's wrong to touch this thing privately, but we also apologize, you It's too much to be so aggressive, if something gets dirty because we touch it, I'll just buy it."

The woman looked Gu Ci from top to bottom, snorted, "I'm afraid you can't afford it..."

Because of the noise, more and more people gathered to watch the excitement. At this moment, a woman in a water-red brocade dress came in from the outside. Looking at the noisy scene, she looked very unhappy, "Ah Yun ,How is this going?"

"Pavilion Master, you are back." As soon as she saw the person at the door, the girl with double goat buns came out immediately, pointed at Gu Ci and Sanmei and said, "It's these two people who come to our Linglong Pavilion with poor clothes, For the hands-on ones, I just trained them..."

"Back off." The pavilion master glanced at A Yun, then nodded at Gu Ci, "Please forgive me for disturbing Miss Gu's elegance."

Gu Ci also nodded to her, "You are very courteous, Pavilion Master. I am here today to pick up the wedding dress that I ordered a few days ago."

The pavilion master took another look at Gu Ci, then lifted his skirt with one hand and went upstairs, "Miss Gu, please follow me."

Gu Ci followed with a bewildered Sanmei, and entered the upstairs room. The pavilion master poured tea for them himself, called them to sit down, and told the people outside to get wedding clothes, and then turned around and sat down Next, picked up the teacup and said to Sanmei:

"Just now, the little girl is ignorant and embarrassed the girl. I really feel sorry for it. I prepare a cup of rough tea to apologize. I hope the girl will not take it to heart."

The owner of the Linglong Pavilion, known as Su Xiuniang, is a beautiful woman in her thirties who still has the charm. She is full of nobleness in every gesture. Sanmei feels a bit shorter when she sees her temperament. Now she looks like this Be polite, stood up quickly, and stammered: "Pavilion, Pavilion Master, you are being polite, don't get in the way, don't get in the way, it's my hands that are itchy, seeing that the material is good, I can't help it..."

Seeing her nervous appearance, Su Xiuniang smiled, glanced at her hand out of the corner of her eye, and paused, "Do you know embroidery?"

Sanmei didn't know what she meant, and subconsciously looked at Gu Ci.

"The pavilion master has really good eyesight, my cousin knows better."

"No wonder this hand is like this." Su Xiuniang took a sip of tea, sat down with Sanmei, touched her hand, and then put it down, "How old is this year?"

"Fifteen is full."

Su Xiuniang sighed, "It's a pity that I'm a little older."

While talking, someone knocked on the door outside, and Su Xiuniang beckoned someone to come in and asked her to put down her things.

Gu Ci looked at the pearl phoenix crown on the stack of wedding clothes, feeling a little at a loss, "The pavilion master made a mistake, I didn't order this phoenix crown on your side..."

"Miss Gu, don't worry, just take a look at this wedding dress, I'm satisfied." Su Xiuniang said, got up and took Gu Ci's wedding dress and spread it out, "Today is sixteen, if something doesn't fit, there is still time to change it. "

As soon as the bright red brocade clothes were spread out, the whole room seemed to be filled with joy. Gu Ci squinted his eyes slightly, and couldn't help touching it, "Linglong Pavilion's craftsmanship has always been well-deserved."

Suxiu Niang smiled, and picked up another wedding dress and spread it out, "Miss Jiaojiao's wedding dress is more exquisite than yours. The neckline and cuffs are embroidered with gold thread, take a look."

"She must like it." Gu Ci touched the sleeve of the wedding dress in Su Xiuniang's hand, and felt that the two wedding dresses matched very well.

"As long as you like it." Su Xiuniang folded the clothes, put the pearl and phoenix crown on it, and then wrapped it with a piece of red cloth, "Whether it's a wedding dress or a phoenix crown, it's all given from Linglong Pavilion." I didn't know about the congratulatory gifts for the two of you before, but Miss Wen came to return the hydrangea ball two days ago, saying that Miss Jiaojiao snatched the hydrangea ball that day, and we Linglong Pavilion should keep our promise and present wedding clothes for you two."

The price of items in Linglong Pavilion has always been sky-high. When Gu Ci came to order wedding clothes, the little girl was heartbroken for a long time, and she often complained about Wen Siyi who robbed her of the hydrangea. It's just that wedding clothes are the most cumbersome. Time has come to make a decent one, and other shops can't make it, so they can only be willing to part with this money.

Suddenly saving such a large sum of money, Gu Ci's mind was filled with nothing else but the little girl's excitement when she heard the news, so she was stunned for a moment before recovering, and hurriedly thanked him, but remembered that Wen Siyi had done something for her that day. The hydrangea and the little girl made a joke, and felt a little uneasy, "I'm afraid it's still inappropriate..."

"Miss Gu, don't delay. Miss Wen guessed that you would be so polite. She asked me to convey it to you. If you want to feel sorry, just treat it as a congratulatory gift from her."

Now that the conversation has come to this point, Gu Ci has no choice but to accept it, and is polite to Su Xiuniang again.

Before leaving, Su Xiuniang took another pair of butterfly hairpins from the cabinet in the house and gave them to Sanmei, "Miss Dadu, I'm really sorry for what happened today, please accept it."

The butterfly hairpin is exquisite in workmanship, dotted with emerald greens and beads, very beautiful, Mrs. Hua is reluctant to buy these for her, she naturally yearns for them, but she knows she can't accept them casually.

"Girl, please accept it if you like it. To me, this thing is not a valuable thing. If you accept it, I will feel better."

Seeing that Sanmei really liked it, Gu Ci lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and persuaded her to accept it.After my eldest sister said so, she took it shyly, thought for a while, and took out a small handkerchief from her sleeve to wrap it up.

Su Xiuniang originally wanted to say that she liked it and put it on for her, but when she swept the handkerchief in her hand, she was taken aback for a moment, "Miss, did you embroider the Tianlian on this handkerchief yourself?"

"I embroidered it myself." Seeing her staring at her veil, Sanmei handed it to her.

Su Xiuniang took it, and looked back and forth with the handkerchief, the amazement flashed in her eyes, "But there is a master?"

"The pavilion master was joking, we wait for country girls, how can we hire a master?" Gu Ci quickly answered, "It's just that my cousin has a bit of talent."

Sanmei glanced at Gu Ci, but didn't respond.

Su Xiuniang returned the handkerchief to Sanmei, "Would you like to come to my Linglong Pavilion to be an embroidery lady?"

Su Xiuniang said calmly, but to Sanmei, it was shocking news, she was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses, "I... can I?"

"If you want." Su Xiu Niang smiled and patted her head, "Linglong Pavilion rarely has such a spiritual Xiu Niang."

Sanmei went to see Gu Ci again, "Eldest sister...I..."

"Have you not thanked the Pavilion Master?"

Sanmei spoke incoherently excitedly, thanking Su Xiuniang again and again, drifting all the way home.

The embroidered lady of Linglong Pavilion not only has self-reliance skills, but also has a good reputation. In the future, she might be able to talk to a better family, so when Su embroidered lady noticed Sanmei's hand, Gu Ci deliberately helped Sanmei. Bundle.

Sanmei followed Gu Ci out for a trip, and came back with such good news. The three aunts were very happy, and each of them believed that her niece was very capable, thinking that she would better maintain this relationship in the future. .

In a blink of an eye, it was the [-]th day. It was a very sunny day. With such a big happy event at home, Ah Bao also took a day off, put on the dark red robe that the little girl sewed for him, and went to greet the relatives with Gu Ci .

There were no big horses, no big sedan chairs, no suona and sheng, so Gu Ci took Abao, three uncles, Gu Chunxiao and her cousins ​​to carry the dowry, and Aunt Bangen, a matchmaker, along the way. Went to Lu Mansion.

I have walked this road to Lu's Mansion many times, but this time, Gu Ci felt that it was a very long walk - it was a three-day trip and I couldn't wait, and it was also a long road for the rest of my life.

Lu Ming had already waited at the gate with his servants. When he saw Gu Ci from a distance, he ordered firecrackers to be set off.

As soon as the firecrackers sounded, the little girl who was waiting in the room stood up suddenly, probably because she was too nervous, the little girl licked her lower lip, and the apple in her hand was accidentally brought to her mouth, He took a bite with a click.
