Chapter 129 130. Banquet
Building a clan temple is the top priority for an ancient family. Even more important is choosing a site. After looking at so many places, they still cannot decide for one reason or another.
While they were still discussing, Gu Wenheng, who had finished a lot of social engagements, came back with Jin Qianqian.
This was the first scholar to come out of the village. Not long after they settled down at home, people came from every household in the clan.
Jin Qianqian took out the small cakes she had prepared long ago to entertain everyone, and when she met a sweet-talking child, she did not forget to put some in his pocket.
"This scholar's wife is different. She is much more generous." Liu Liu pushed her two children and said, "Hurry up and ask your seventh aunt to fill your pockets. It's generous to other people's children, but you can't be stingy with your own nephews and nieces."
Jin Qianqian gritted her teeth, "It's been a while since I last saw you, and you haven't changed at all. They are my nephews and nieces, and they are all my family members. Of course, we have to take good care of other people's children first. This is the way to entertain guests, Fourth Sister-in-law, don't you think so?"
Liu Liu snorted, "It seems that the Seventh Brother's wife has changed so much after only staying in the county town for a few days. I just don't know if Old Seven knows that you are so divided into inside and outside."
Jin Qianqian, "How about you go ask Sister-in-law?"
"You," Liu Liu thought of Gu Wenheng's protective look before, and naturally knew that he was asking for trouble in the past, so he immediately changed his face to a smile. He looked Jin Qianqian up and down, "Sister-in-law, you and the seventh brother have been married for so long, why is there no sign of pregnancy?
Then you have to be careful. After all, Lao Qi is a scholar now. If he wants to change his wife to another scholar, you have to spend money and effort. If you lose both your wife and money, you will have nowhere to cry. "
Jin Qianqian rolled her eyes, "..." I'm so rich that you can't even imagine. Besides, my mother-in-law didn't even urge you to have a baby, so why would she urge you to have a baby?
"Fourth sister-in-law may not know yet, but apart from the courtyard in this village which is registered as my household, the house and storefront in the county town are all my wife's dowry. If I really leave my wife, I probably won't be able to live." At this time, Gu Wenheng walked over and stood side by side with Jin Qianqian.
He didn't care that the news shocked everyone. "Besides, didn't Fourth Sister-in-law know what happened before? Only a fool would let his wife give birth during that time.
As a sister-in-law, it's not right to put your hands in your brother-in-law's room, right?"
This time, Liu Liu was so ashamed that she covered her face and left.
Gu Yuanshui, "Seventh Brother, how did you talk to your sister-in-law? Don't think that you can be disrespectful to your elders just because you have passed the imperial examination."
Jin Qianqian, "Fourth brother, they say that you teach your son in public and your wife in private. My fourth sister-in-law keeps saying things she shouldn't say. Did you teach her that?"
"you,."
Just when he was blushing and didn't know what to say, Li Cuicui stopped him, "Okay, it's a great day, Lao Si, don't make yourself uncomfortable here.
But you should also talk to your daughter-in-law. There are some things that your mother and I have not intervened in, but she, as a sister-in-law of a separate family, is quite lenient in her intervention. "
"Mom, Liu Liu doesn't have any bad intentions. She just cares about my seventh brother's wife, but she just can't speak."
Jin Qianqian: "..." Her mouth is already so poisonous, if she could speak again...
Gu Wenheng didn't want to continue to argue, so he found Gu Yuanjin and Gu Yuantu and said, "We bought these from the county town. Big brother, I'll have to trouble you to ask everyone to help. Let's all stay here for dinner today."
When the things on the donkey cart were uncovered, a whole head of pork immediately attracted everyone's attention. Without Gu Wenheng saying anything more, everyone could guess that the scholar was going to hold a grand banquet when he returned this time.
In addition to the pig, there were chickens and ducks, hundreds of kilograms of rice and flour, and of course some miscellaneous side dishes.
"Isn't this too rich?" Gu Yuanjin felt a little heartbroken. "It must cost a lot of money, right?"
Gu Wenheng, "Everyone has worked hard these days. Big brother, just do the work. If it's not enough, drive the donkey cart to buy some back."
Gu Yuantu kept saying that it was enough, this Old Seven was really becoming more and more different.
Jin Qianqian was also pulled aside by Li Cuicui, "Don't take your sister-in-law's words to heart, but you have to work harder. Now that life has stabilized, it's time to give Old Seven a child."
Jin Qianqian, "..."
"You silly wife," Li Cuicui was a little anxious when she saw the dazed Jin Qianqian, "This man values ​​continuing the family line the most. If you can give birth to a child soon, it will only be good for your small family."
"Mom, are you anxious too?" Jin Qianqian wanted to slap herself after asking this question. What a stupid question this was. All mothers-in-law in the world are the same. How could they not urge their children to give birth?
Who knew that Li Cuicui would just roll her eyes at her and say, "Why am I so anxious? I already have grandchildren. What's more, if the child doesn't have my last name, I don't want to be the bad guy."
This girl from the Jin family is really a little silly. Fortunately, she met me. If it were any other mother-in-law, she wouldn't know what she would have done.
Jin Qianqian gave the old lady a thumbs up. If every mother-in-law thought this way, it was estimated that all women in this dynasty would be loving mothers and filial daughters-in-law.
&
After listening to congratulations all day, at night, Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian finally had some peace and quiet.
Jin Qianqian smiled bitterly, "What happened to me this day?"
Although Liu Liu had been driven away before, the subsequent gossips made Jin Qianqian once again witness the power of inducing labor.
It seemed like everyone couldn't continue talking about anything other than this topic.
Gu Wenheng touched her head. The yard was so small that he could hear some of what she said.
"Don't worry about what they say, let's get our bodies back in shape first," Gu Wenheng has been having a very frustrating time these days. Being able to see but not being able to eat is already torturous enough, and now these people are adding fuel to the fire.
He touched Jin Qianqian's little face which had already gained some flesh, and secretly advised himself to take care of it more.
With fame and honor, he had many rights to participate. In the past, the clan leader would just discuss with a few clan elders and make decisions on any major or minor matters. But this time, he called Gu Wenheng over.
"It's a good thing to build the ancestral temple," Gu Wenheng understood the meaning of the song, took off his brocade bag, and took out a small silver note of ten taels from it, "It's a pity that my teacher asked me to return to school as soon as possible, so I can't do my best here. I can only let all the elders bear the burden."
"It's good that you have this intention," Gu Sanbu took a look and didn't intend to accept it. "You still have a long time to study in the future, keep these for self-defense. The clan's ancestral hall will work together to find a way to solve it. I asked you to come here because I want you to know about this matter."
Gu Wenheng is the hope of the entire clan, so Gu Sanbu naturally considers Gu Wenheng's needs first, as the imperial examinations are very expensive.
Happy holidays everyone!!!
