Chapter 606: Being a Bookboy for Generations

Aunt Li came this time for Gui Ge'er's marriage.

Huang was naturally concerned and asked anxiously, "Mother Dali, whose daughter is this?"

Huang and Su thought that since Sun Shan was getting married this year and Gui'er was already old enough, they couldn't delay it any longer.

Guiger was adopted by Sun Banxian and was originally raised by his biological mother and father.

But because of the gambling-land selling incident, the village chief did not trust the original family, so he let Huang and Su take charge.

Marriage is a big matter, and no matter what, we must choose a good wife for Gui Ge'er.

A good woman brings prosperity to three generations, and the village chief also hopes that Sun Banxian's bloodline can be continued.

Huang saw that Gui Ge'er had a miserable life and was Sun Shan's servant. Sun Banxian was popular in the village, so she took over the responsibility and carefully helped Gui Ge'er find a good marriage.

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Shanzi's grandmother, this girl is not an outsider, she is Dali's cousin, my mother's daughter. This is my eldest brother's granddaughter. She has been diligent since she was young, works very efficiently, is honest and filial, and looks very pretty. She is a pretty girl."

Sun Dali came back from Jinling and earned 55 taels for the family, which shocked Aunt Li.

Having so much money all of a sudden would make people think that you did something bad to get the quick money.

Later I learned that not only Sun Dali earned 50 taels, but also Sun Dingnan and Sun Dinggui.

Aunt Li couldn't help but feel fortunate that her silly son was favored by Sun Shan, so he made a small fortune.

Later, Huang asked the women in the village to find a marriage for Gui Ge'er.

Aunt Li thought about it and decided not to let such good things go to waste.

So he went back to his wife secretly and discussed this and that with his eldest brother.

When Brother Li heard that Gui Ge'er had no parents, no land, and only two unfinished houses, he thought his sister was here to cause trouble, and introduced her to such conditions. Not knowing her temper, he thought that his family had offended her and pushed his granddaughter into the fire pit.

Then he said that Gui Ge'er was Sun Shan's servant, and Brother Li's eyes lit up. He also said that Gui Ge'er currently had at least 50 taels of assets. Brother Li's eyes were like the sun, shining so brightly that you could not look directly at it.

Money is not important at all. The most important thing is that Gui Ge'er is a servant in the family of a juren scholar.

He is called a book boy, but in fact he is a family member.

If he is not a family member, how can he be a servant?

Marrying a servant of a juren master's family is equivalent to marrying the juren master. No, it means marrying into the juren master's family, which means you will have a bright future.

Although Gui'er, the son of the Juren family, had no land and only two unfinished houses, he had savings and a stable job.

If our daughter marries him, we will be secure.

It's nice to take shelter under the big tree. It seems that the girl is not here to cause trouble, but to introduce a good marriage.

Aunt Li's eldest brother immediately asked the girls of the right age to come in and let Aunt Li choose which one was more suitable.

According to the rules, the eldest girl should be arranged to marry, but what if the eldest girl is not to the man's liking?

So select more girls and let them choose.

Aunt Li looked at her daughters from her natal family with satisfaction, thinking that all of them were great.

Others say that Dali looks like his uncle, strong and in good health, and is a good candidate for work.

The girls from their mother’s side are just like their grandfather, they look healthy and are good at work.

Aunt Li said with satisfaction: "Brother, I think the eldest girl is suitable. First, she is close in age, second, she is strong, and third, she is the most diligent and capable. Let the eldest girl go for the blind date."

When the eldest daughter, Li Jinhua, heard her aunt say this, her wheat-colored face turned red. As a girl, how could she not be shy whenever she was asked to get married?

So Aunt Li started to talk, and said to Huang: "Shanzi's grandmother, my daughter could cut grass at the age of three, take care of her younger brothers and sisters at the age of five, go to the mountains to chop firewood at the age of seven, work in the kitchen at the age of nine, and do everything at home and outside at the age of eleven. She is a really good girl.

And your boy Gui is a smart, clever, simple and honest boy.

If they are destined to get married, they will definitely live happily together until old age, with many children and grandchildren. "

Huang didn't know what Gui'er liked, so she naturally had to see for herself. Therefore, she wouldn't agree just because Aunt Li said a few words.

He nodded and said, "Dali's mother, your daughter is a good girl, but fate is hard to say. If you want to get married, the most important thing is that the two children can like each other.

I'll talk to Gui Ge'er and see what he thinks. If both of them are interested, we can let the two children meet each other. As for me, of course I hope Gui Ge'er and the girl from your mother's family can meet each other. It's best to know each other well. "

Aunt Li also knew that they had to see each other before they could settle down, so she smiled and said, "Shanzi's grandmother, you are right. Boys and girls nowadays are different from when we were young. They have to see eye to eye before they can get along.

Haha, boys and girls nowadays are very picky, not like us back then.

I'm telling you the truth, when I was a girl, I would marry whoever my father told me to marry. I didn't even know whether Dali's father was fat or flat. It was nothing like people nowadays who only marry if they like each other."

After Aunt Li finished talking about her daughter from her natal family, she recalled with Mrs. Huang what it was like when she was a girl.

The two old ladies were opening up their long-forgotten memories, eating melon seeds, drinking tea, chatting and laughing, and half a day passed.

After dinner in the evening, everyone went to the yard to enjoy the cool air since we were all family.

Huang said to Gui Ge'er, "Gui Ge'er, you are not young anymore. It's time for you to get married. After Shanzi's wedding is done, I will do yours."

Gui Ge'er was sitting next to Sun Shan, fanning him.

Suddenly hearing Huang talking about marriage, he fanned himself faster, his hands shaking, and one could tell how nervous he was.

The night is beautiful and the moon is big and round.

Gui Ge'er's face flushed with two circles, and he stammered, "Grandma, I, I'm still young."

Su was eating a melon, and seeing Gui Ge'er's shy face, she said cheerfully, "You are not young anymore, you are already a 20-year-old boy, you should have gotten married a long time ago."

He rolled his eyes and asked, "Mother, do you have a girlfriend? Whose daughter is she?"

Although Huang and Su were responsible for Gui'er's marriage, it was actually Huang who was in charge. Su had a bad temper, and the village chief did not dare to give her this important task.

Sun Bomin was repairing a rake for drying grain and said with a smile, "Mother, whose family is this girl? We have to find a good wife for Gui Ge'er. Haha." Has anyone ever dried grain before? When Gui Ge'er heard what Su and Huang said, his face turned even redder and he fanned himself even harder.

Sun Shan felt much cooler in the whistling wind.

Huang's kind face was full of smiles, and she said happily: "Gui'er, don't be shy. It's time to put the marriage on the agenda. At your age, others have become fathers, and it's our Shanzi who has delayed you."

Gui Ge'er stopped fanning himself and said anxiously, "Grandma, there's no need to delay."

After a pause, she looked at Sun Shan and said, "Grandma, even if we get married, I will still work for Brother Shan. I will still be Brother Shan's servant."

Gui Ge'er knew that many of the boys in Xujia Village were eyeing his position, and he absolutely could not give up being Sun Shan's servant just because he got married.

Not only did he want to be Sun Shan's servant, he also wanted his son and grandson to be Sun Shan's son and grandson's servants.

They have been book boys for generations.
