Qiuhong blinked and said: "furtive, others can't be wary. It's impossible to tell the truth. But for matchmakers, people are always enthusiastic. After all, it's a good thing for someone else's family. It's a good fortune to make a couple and get married. "

She bowed to Gu Yunkuai and walked out of the house.

Xiao Er happened to see, almost fell from the eaves, after all, Qiuhong's dress is too scary.

Gu Yunkuai had a meal and had a nap. Qiuhong came back in a hurry. She took a big sip of the tea cup from qiulv. Then she gasped for breath and reported: "dear, this neighbor didn't say a bad one. The maid asked around quietly. They all said that the groom was very filial. The old mother was blind. She went to the back room to wait after her daily work and wash her feet and pour water. She never complained. "

After that, she said, "the groom's old mother and servant took a look at her from a distance. Although she was not young, she looked good and looked good. She seemed to be taken care of very carefully."

It's not easy to be so filial, even if you are poor, you don't leave your old mother behind.

In fact, the old mother has already left Xia Fu. Even if the groom doesn't go out to take care of her, it's OK for the old mother to live and die on her own. Life can be better.

It's just that the groom never gave up on his mother. Every day he still remembers that he never gives up on such things as carrying a basin of water to wash his feet. Instead, he does it himself.

Gu Yunkuai listened, but he felt that such a filial son had excellent character. In addition, his old mother is also a person who knows his kindness, so the groom's temperament is quite good: "except for the origin, it seems that there is nothing to be picky about."

Qiuhong stopped talking and said: "just a little bit, the groom's right cheek was injured. It's said that once Xia went to the horse farm to ride, the horse under him suddenly disobeyed. The groom came forward and said that the horse was uncomfortable. He had advised Xia to choose another one, but Xia didn't want to. Now the horse suddenly runs mad. It's hard to calm the driver down, and his whip hits the driver's face.... "

She sighed. There were barbs on the whip and no good medicine. The groom left a ferocious scar on his cheek. Don't say it's Miss Xia, but she looks a little surprised. Ordinary girls are afraid to be scared.

Gu Yunkuai asked Qiuhong to call out Xia Da girl and specially told her about it. After all, they have never seen each other. It's just a crack in the door. It's night again. Miss Xia can't see the groom's face clearly. Now she tells her frankly, which makes Miss Xia have a bottom in her heart.

After hearing this, Miss Xia sighed with guilt: "this is the evil done by my father, and it should be compensated by me. The coachman is a good man. He can't hurt his face any more. It's the Xia family that's sorry for him. Good character, how about a scar on the cheek? Even if there is no scar, there is no good character. "

For example, her father, Lord Xia, didn't listen to the advice, and finally took the blame on the innocent groom. It wasn't really done by a gentleman.

"Just understand in your heart, and then listen to what Qiuhong says?" Gu Yunkuai turns to the girl and knows that Qiuhong has not finished.

Qiuhong said with a smile: "since Miss Xia doesn't mind, then madam will prepare the dowry."

Gu Yunkuai said with a smile: "why, have you inquired about the groom's talk?"

"Yes, I didn't mention it. I said that master Xia sent Miss Xia to Xiao's house. If master Taifu didn't accept it, he would have to send it to Shangshu's house and give it to his eldest son." Qiuhong blinks teasingly. The eldest son of the Shangshu family was born with a cold. A high fever lasted for several days, and finally burned her brain. Now she is crazy all day and bites when she sees people. The servant girl who is waiting on her side doesn't know how much to suffer. She is green and purple all over. Another one is bitten off her shoulder and has a big piece of meat. She is miserable, but she doesn't dare to make a sound.

She looked at Miss Xia and joked: "after listening, the groom stood up and tried to fight with master Xia. He threatened the maidservant so hard that he could persuade him to come down."

To get Miss Xia out of the misery of the Xia family, isn't it necessary to find a good family to get married so that she won't be humiliated and live worse than death?

Qiuhong didn't make her words too clear. She stopped at once. The groom looked dull, but not as dull as he thought. He just kept silent and thought.

She added her strength, saying that it was imminent. It was not easy to find someone who knew the cold and the hot in this world. If she dragged on, Miss Xia would be ruined in her life.

Gu Yunkuai knows Qiuhong's idea, and the groom is concerned about it, so he must be scared by her.

Miss Xia blushed and asked in a low voice, "he What do you say in the end? "

Qiuhong smiles and knows that she can't help but ask. She takes out a big pocket from her waist. The purse has been used for some years, and the corners are worn. Obviously, it is often used, but the maintenance is good, and the connector is not exposed. It must be hidden close to the body and kept carefully.

Miss Xia was stunned and murmured, "isn't this a purse I used to make? It's just the first time I did it. If I didn't do it well, Mammy scolded me and threw away my purse. I thought I was gone long ago. "

I didn't expect to be picked up by the coachman and hidden close to my body for so many years. It has been several years since I counted it, but it is still 80% new, which shows that the groom attaches great importance to it.Qiuhong pushes her purse to open it.

Miss Xia reached out and stroked her purse. When she opened it, her eyes turned red. There are two whole bucks in it. I'm afraid it's the monthly money saved by the coachman over the years.

"This man is very interesting. I just said that I had a good relationship with the wife of Xiao ' Qiuhong wants to laugh at the coachman's stupidity in the dark. She says nothing for nothing. If she deceives him to cheat money, won't the coachman lose his wife and become a soldier?

But the groom's action without hesitation moved her. If you can do this for Miss Xia, you don't hesitate to take out almost all of your family, just to make Miss Xia safe. This heart alone is enough to convince people that you are sincere to Miss Xia.

"This fool..." Miss Xia pasted her purse on her eyes to cover her tears.

Gu Yunkuai laughed and said, "that's good. Since the dowry is here, the dowry of Miss Xia can be prepared."

The bride price of the groom was full of sincerity. It was difficult for her to nod her head.

Some people say that they have a lot of money, but it's not easy to take out 10000. But Gu Yunkuai felt that the groom's monthly income was very small. He had to take care of his old mother, subsidize one or two, and save two times. He was afraid that he would have to live frugally. It took three or five years to save.

Even if there were only ten coppers on her body, she would take them out to Miss Xia. This is the most rare thing.

It's not how much a person has, but how much he is willing to share. There is no doubt that Miss Xia is lucky. The Xia family treats her badly, but they meet a groom who is willing to help her.

Gu Yunkuai looked at Qiuhong's list, shook his head, glanced at qiulv, and nodded slightly: "yes, just write it according to qiulv."

Knowing that she wanted them to practice, Qiuhong yelled, "madam, what's wrong with the dowry list listed by my maidservant

Gu Yunkuai said with a smile: "Qiuhong's writings are all good things, but the ladies can use them, but Miss Xia may not. These flashy things, the door can be used to show, but it is a burden to Miss Xia. "

It's better to marry a groom than a dowry. Qiulv's list covers everything. It's obvious that she had lived in a poor family before. The cloth is all cotton cloth. There are two cases, but there is no silk mentioned in Qiuhong. There are two beds of bedding, light and thick, just a box. In addition, pots and pans, 20 mu of land, a small two yard beside the field, and a cow are all ready.

Qiuhong looked at it and was convinced: "Qiulu is still thoughtful. If she comes according to the list of maidservants, I'm afraid that Miss Xia will worry. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. How can she live?"

This dowry is really very good, with tile covering the head, self-sufficiency in the field, plus a cow can help farming, men farming and women weaving, the best peaceful life.

Moreover, the tile roofed houses are not big, the fields are not many, and the rich and generous people call the groom short of breath. All these require him to work hard to reap. There is no beautiful blue brick house, no superior land of more than 100 mu, not to mention the beautiful brocade clothes, and every inch of land and every inch of gold in Beijing.

Don't worry about being coveted, don't worry about being pointed out by others behind their backs. They say that they are a white rice eater, and don't have to be a lady of Xia. He is still the humble groom.

When Miss Xia saw the dowry list, she immediately knelt down to Gu Yunkuai, knocked her head a few times, and sobbed: "thank you, madam. If it wasn't for her, I'd be afraid to..."

Qiuhong quickly helped her up, and Gu Yunkuai said with a smile: "this is Qiulu's intention. If you want to thank her, you can thank her. This girl is considerate, even what I didn't expect."

Qiuhong sympathizes with Miss Xia. Qiulu is introverted and wants to help her.

Xia said thanks to Qiu Lu with her red eyes. She told Qiu Lu that she was at a loss. She waved her hand and said, "as long as you husband and wife support each other, what kind of life will be bad?"

Gu Yunkuai nodded and agreed: "yes, this field is not for nothing. If you send 100 Jin of grain and 30 jin of fresh fruits to Xiaofu every year, you will be free of rent. It's five years. If I'm satisfied, I can give you the deed of land completely. Don't blame me for being stingy? " "No, ma'am, it's for my good." Summer big girl understand, this is Gu Yunkuai in case, do a red face.
