0128 Wedding
After the overhaul of Wuxing Water Conservancy, the journey between north and south was very convenient. The river channel was increasingly frequent, and there were almost no cars driving on the way. Among them, the Tiao River flowing eastward, which runs through the north and south, and reaches Taihu Lake, is the busiest section of the river with the most water transportation.
After dredging and renovation, the already extremely wide Tiaoxi River channel is more smooth, with the widest place reaching more than 80 meters wide, and the narrowest place also has a water flow of more than 20 meters. The boats shuttled across the river include simple-made bamboo rafts and sampans, exquisitely carved pleasure boats, and there are also domestic cargo ships with heavy draft.
Among these boats traveling, one of the ships heading north was Gu Qingshuang, the seventh lady of Gu, who made many children of aristocratic families in Wuzhong sad.
This young lady Gu wore a plain shirt and skirt, her hair was not tied up with a hairpin. Her beautiful face was like a beautiful mutton fat that had been washed without makeup. She was shining brightly without makeup. She sat in the cabin and held a scroll of Taoist scriptures in her hand, and her whole body exuded a kind of quietness that was not matched by age. She lacked the vitality and vitality that a young man should have, and was more similar to a person outside the world who did not want anything.
On the opposite side was another girl of similar age, unlike Madam Gu Qi, who was a little bit uneasy. The girl held her cheeks with both hands, staring at the water flowing outside the cabin, and then looked at Madam Gu Qi in front of her.
Perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere in the cabin was a little deserted, the girl stretched out her finger and bounced the Daoluo in her hand. After attracting her eyes, she asked curiously: "Sister, you go to Wukang Mountain to pay homage to Xiaoxianweng, have you ever seen the jade man from the Shen family who is famous in Wuzhong?"
Hearing this question, Madam Gu Qi frowned slightly and remembered something unhappy.
Originally, she was extremely happy to see Master Ge ask for advice on the scriptures, but she was suddenly interrupted and couldn't fully understand it. When she went down the mountain, she learned that her servant was beaten by the evil slaves of the Shen family, and her mood was even worse. Even though she had never wanted to come into contact with outsiders, she could hardly help but go back to the Taoist temple to argue with others.
However, she had no relatives and friends to follow her on this trip. In addition, she was persuaded by the servants, so she had to give up. Yuting wrote a letter to someone and sent it back to the Taoist temple, and then left with a depressed mood. However, she had a very bad impression of the so-called Wu Zhongyu man in her heart.
When she left Wukang, she met her mother's uncle Qiantang Quanxing's family heading north, so she traveled together to return home. The girl in front of her was her cousin Quanpei, and her personality was much more cheerful than her.
The woman in Wuzhong is simple and honest, and she doesn't hide the advantages and disadvantages of her family. Seeing that her cousin pondered and said, the girl Quanpei's eyes widened, and she pulled Gu Qingshuang's wrist and smiled: "Sister, do you really see Wuzhong Yulang? Is it as beautiful as the rumor, and the young master is as elegant as jade?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingshuang's face became even more unnatural. At first, she was like Pei'er's cousin, thinking that Wu Zhongyulang should be such a person. Otherwise, how could she write the words "The virtue of a bright gentleman, the fragrance of Hengzhi" that makes people feel fragrant when she first heard it. When she first heard it, she even planned a poem with the boudoir and secretly reconciled it, but it was far less clear than this poem, so she secretly revealed it to everyone.
This time when I came to Wukang, in addition to visiting Master Ge, there were also many thoughts and delusions to see the style of Jade Lord. However, although I could not see him in person in Wukang Mountain, I realized the true face of Jade Lord, who was called "Young Master is like jade", so I felt even more angry. This kind of person who deceives the world is really shameful.
Gu Qingshuang was about to speak harshly to correct Pei'er's cousin's wrong perception when suddenly the curtain of the cabin was lifted up, and a woman in dress came in. It was her aunt, Mrs. Wei, so she quickly stood up to greet her.
Mrs. Quan took Gu Qi's hand, sat down and said with a smile: "My little lady is a little noisy. You are used to purity, don't be surprised."
"Peer's cousin is lively and good at talking, and is just trying to relieve Shuang'er's depressed journey, but his aunt's words are serious."
Mrs. Gu Qi was just calm in character, but she didn't understand the worldly ways, so she immediately said with a smile.
The girl Quan Pei was next to her mother and said coquettishly: "My mother always abuses people to belittle me. My sister and I had a very happy conversation just now. Mom, it turns out that my sister and I have met Wu Zhong Yulang, and she is really a gentleman like jade as rumor!"
When Gu Qingshuang heard this, her eyes trembled. She had never said this? She was just in front of her aunt, but it was not convenient to speak out again.
When Mrs. Quan heard this, her eyes lit up. She held Gu Qizixian's hand in her palm and said with a smile: "Speaking of this, this Shen family husband is still a sister of my family. She often chatted and laughed together when she was young. However, after they returned to their husband's house, they had fewer contacts and were already a little distant now."
"Mom, why haven't you heard you mention it before? So, Yulangjun is still my brother? Haha, why don't you go to visit Wukang after passing by?"
When Quan Pei heard his mother's words, he clapped his hands and laughed.
After hearing this, Mrs. Quan felt a little unnatural. Her daughter was uneasy in the world. Although she was a child's words, she told her a little bit of pain. In the past, her cousins who were in the cabinet had different life trajectories after getting married.
Although her husband's family is also a prominent family in Qiantang, it is still one-straight worse than the Shen family in Wuxing. Her cousin's husband is even more amazing. He is now ranked as the magnificent of Fang Bo, and his status is not inferior to those of the high families in the north and south. On the contrary, her husband Quanxing has been in charge of the family business for many years and has been transferred to the county and county governments. He has only been appointed as an official in the capital. Although he is finally listed as a Qingliu, he is just a servant of the Duke's Mansion.
With such a big situation, we don’t know what to say when we meet each other, so it’s better not to see each other.
Mrs. Quan calmed down her distracted mood, then looked at Gu Qi's wife and said with a smile: "Since Qi's wife has seen my nephew, I wonder what she likes and dislikes the husband of Shen?"
Hearing these straightforward words, Gu Qingshuang's pretty face turned red and she lowered her head and said, "It's just that Pei'er's cousin talks nonsense. Qingshuang has never seen the Shen family's husband."
Quan took Gu Qingshuang's wrist and walked to the door of the cabin, pointed to the water waves outside the boat and said, "Recently, I often heard your uncle talk about Shen's family. Shen envoys sit down to Kuaiji, and people are convinced. Shen's family governs the countryside, and the people are ready. Shen's family's Qingshou kicked up, and now it has a bit of the atmosphere of the Wuzhong High School."
"Some words shouldn't have been said by my aunt, but the Lord of the Lord of the House has passed away, and your mother has died early. No parents have ever been born, so it makes people feel pity."
Mrs. Quan patted Gu Qingshuang's hand and said, "Although my family is just a relative of the outside world, she is still a blood relative of the seventh wife's mother's family. Although the young man of the Shen family is younger than the seventh wife, he is famous and has a considerable family background. He may also be a good match."
Hearing this, Madam Gu Qi's face changed. Unexpectedly, her aunt actually mentioned this topic and couldn't accept it immediately. Especially when her servant was just being beaten by the playboy, how could she be a good match for her!
"Don't say anything more, auntie, I'm still young and there's no hurry to get married. My elder brother is at home, so I don't need to think about this kind of thing. No matter how you do, you can't commit yourself to Shen!"
Mrs. Gu Qi looked as she was named, her pretty face was tense, and she turned around and walked into the cabin.
Seeing this, Mrs. Quan was embarrassed to continue this topic, but she remembered her husband's advice, so she could only bite the bullet and follow her up and continued to say with great thoughts: "Although the eldest brother of the Seventh Lady is strong, Gu Sanqi is used to being at peace with her young sisters. After all, she is very proud of her family's purity. Shen's new home is indeed worthy of being able to do it."
"But it is better to look at the eyes long after your life. The secret words in the pavilion are not afraid of the seventh lady laughing. When I was young, my parents were stubborn in the family. My uncle wanted to be inferior to the Shen family. Now the situation is changing, which shows that the wise were not wise and the foolish were not foolish."
When the girl Quan Pei heard this, she couldn't help but speak, "Sister-in-law, my uncle, Zhezi, is indeed one of the few handsome men in Wuzhong. He is also a disciple of Mr. Ji Guo, and it is very suitable for you. In the future, you will be my brother's wife, Qiantang and Wukang, and we can get together from time to time."
When Mrs. Quan heard this, her eyes lit up again and she agreed, "Yes, Mr. Zhezi is a disciple of Mr. Ji Guo. Mr. Ji Guo and Mr. Yuan of the Zunfu were originally in harmony with each other, and Mr. Qi Niang and Mr. Zhezi Niang are exactly the same. Your uncle and I really can't bear to see Mr. Qi Niang staying in the pavilion for a long time, and my youth is getting farther away."
"Auntie doesn't have to say anything anymore. I will never marry Shen Zhezi! My heart is so pure, so what if I live with mountains, rivers, bamboo forests?"
Gu Qingshuang turned her head inward, not willing to listen to this matter again.
Seeing the Qi Lady's appearance, Mrs. Quan sighed and signaled her daughter to stay for comfort. She left the cabin with some regret. Not long after she walked, she saw her husband Quanxing at the corner.
Quanxing was about forty years old and had gray hair. When he saw his wife walking, he hurriedly came up and whispered: "How is Shuang'er's feelings?"
Mrs. Quan shook her head, then glared at her husband with some resentment, and scolded her: "I am not a decent person, so don't let me do such evil things in the future!"
Quanxing ignored his wife's complaints and looked at the flowing water and sighed: "So what about the Gu family's high school? It's clear and it's rare to find reality. Shen's envoy was not yet high in spring and autumn, and he had already listed Fang Bo. With time, the three dukes can expect! Even the daughter of He only wanted to be matched with Shen's other branch. Isn't it more than enough to be matched with the Gu family's orphan!"
As if he noticed that his words were a bit unpleasant, Quanxing said again: "My girl's life experience is sad, and she is willing to be the second wife of the white-headed old man. Unfortunately, I will lose this orphan girl early, so how can I not take care of Zhou Quan? The young man of the Shen family is attentive. If the motion is too late, I don't know which family will succeed. The little girl's face is shallow. This time I enter the capital, I will visit Gu Sanqi directly. For the benefit of Chen Qing, it will naturally be possible!"
Not to mention that the boat was each embracing each other. When the boat was walking ahead, the channel gradually became congested, and there seemed to be someone setting up a barrier in front of him. Quanxing felt a little unhappy, and immediately ordered the servant to put down the small tray and go forward to inquire. After a moment, the servant of Quan returned with a bitter look on his face and said, "Master Lang, Wucheng can no longer stop. Here, the Shen family said that they would receive their husbands' boats and ships. The pier was closed and no other boats were allowed to be parked."
"This pier is so open, how many boats in the Shen family cannot stop and will cause inconvenience to travelers?"
Mrs. Quan was a little angry and frowned.
