When asked about Mr. Gu's character, Dazhi stopped laughing and changed his expression to a serious one.
"Speaking of his character, how should I put it? We were classmates for several years and we were quite hit on each other at that time." Dajie said.
"This is where Dajie's character comes into play. Since someone likes Dajie, he must also be an upright person." Ping'er said.
Mrs. Sun was happy in her heart, but she waved her hands a few times: "Ping'er, please don't exaggerate about Jie. Let's continue talking about Mr. Gu."
Dajie then continued: "When we were studying in the academy, we really hit it off, but his temperament is a little different from Zhang Ban and mine."
"Zhang Ban and I are relatively dull, especially Zhang Ban, who is very taciturn. Among us, Brother Gu is the only one who is good at socializing and is popular in the academy. From my husband to the lady who runs the shop in front of and behind the academy, He can get along well with each other, he is talkative and friendly, he always smiles when he talks, and when we have a banquet together, he is not afraid of being left out."
"Later, we passed the imperial examination together, and I went to Huguang County to find a job on the recommendation of my cousin-in-law. Zhang Ban had no intention of passing the imperial examination, so he was invited by his husband to teach in the academy. Brother Gu has ambitions in his heart, and given the financial conditions at home, If you are generous, then you will continue to study and make progress."
When Ping'er heard Dajie say so many things about Mr. Gu, she really couldn't find fault with such a family and such a young young man.
But the more you look at this perfect family, the more you feel uneasy. As for what is not practical, Ping'er can't tell, so she can only continue to ask Dazhi: "Such a young man who is both talented and beautiful, and good at communication, his family conditions are also good. , why haven’t you gotten married yet?”
Mrs. Sun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, everything is good. It's not like you haven't gotten married yet. Is there some flaw somewhere?"
Dajie was amused by Da Sun's words, "Mom, if Brother Gu hears what you said, he will really burst into tears. Brother Gu's family was very strict in the early years. He was not allowed to get married and he was asked to concentrate on studying. , Brother Gu himself is the same, and that’s why it was delayed.”
"We have often exchanged letters in the past two years. When he learned that all of our classmates at the time were getting married and starting a business, he was also envious and wanted to find a down-to-earth and virtuous wife."
"We are all scholars and don't care about family background or anything like that. What matters is compatibility. Even Da'an, the number one scholar, married a little girl who has never studied. What do we, scattered candidates, have to compete with? "
After hearing what Dajie said, the Sun family and the Da Sun family were relieved, and they both thought it was a good marriage.
"If that's the case, should the Gu family's parents come over next?" asked Sun.
Dajie looked at Ping'er, and both Sun and Da Sun looked at Ping'er. Now, they just listened to the woman's words.
Ping'er thought about it carefully and then raised her head, "The Gu family sounds really good, and they don't have to choose the younger generation. I like it very much. Let's do this. I'll go back and discuss it with Zhou Sheng today. Huahua This child can be regarded as raised by Zhou Sheng, and Zhou Sheng also cares about her marriage."
Sun said: "Of course, we must discuss it with Zhou Sheng."
Mrs. Sun's face was filled with excitement: "Hurry up and discuss it. Once we've discussed it, we'll be waiting for your wedding wine."
Ping'er's face turned red, but she still nodded with a smile, "If the two children are really destined to be together, the wedding banquet will be attended by both of you."
Ping'er went back at night and told Zhou Sheng about it. Zhou Sheng was very happy after hearing it.
"Sounds good. It's still a juren. Huahuahua's mother is sure to be in heaven, so she can rest assured." He said.
Ping'er raised her head and looked at Zhou Sheng: "Since you said the same thing, I will go and tell the third aunt and the eldest aunt of the Sun family tomorrow that the two elders should meet as soon as possible to settle the matter."
Zhou Sheng nodded: "Yes, let's settle it as soon as possible and find a good home for Huahua, and we will feel at ease."
Ping'er turned around and brought a jewelry box over, "These are all the dowries left by Huahua's mother..."
Seeing Ping'er about to open the box, Zhou Sheng raised his hand to hold Ping'er's hand, "Don't open it, I won't look."
"Why don't you watch it?" Ping'er asked.
When she married Zhou Sheng, she took this jewelry box with her. The jewelry box was locked. Ping'er didn't tell her, but Zhou Sheng never asked.
Ping'er told Zhou Sheng that there were valuable things in this jewelry box, but Zhou Sheng had never thought about this jewelry box.
Even though life was difficult when the family was raising three children together, Zhou Sheng still relied on his own strength to go out and earn money by running transportation with the transportation team, raising five people by himself.
"The things in this box are all the dowry that Madam left to Huahua before she died. Over the years, we have grown Huahua up together, and now she is about to get married, and she will not miss one or two pieces of this jewelry. "
"You helped me raise flowers. It's a great kindness. Why don't I open it and get two pieces of jewelry to keep for Bingbing's future marriage?"
Ping'er told Zhou Sheng about the conflict and struggle in her heart during this period.
She is the madam's personal maid, taking care of Miss Huahua when she grows up.
It wouldn't be unusual for someone with no conscience to swallow the entire box of jewelry.
After all, he had made Hua Hua so big. The chess, calligraphy, and needlework girl Hong taught her. Now that she is leaving the cabinet, she left two things for Bing Bing.
This was not for herself, but to repay Zhou Sheng's kindness. Ping'er felt that Madam's spirit in heaven should be able to forgive her.
Zhou Sheng took the jewelry box from Ping'er's hand and put it back in its place.
"Zhou Sheng, you..."
Ping'er followed, Zhou Sheng turned around, pressed Ping'er's shoulders hard, and looked down at her.
"Ping'er, Bingbing is my son. I, as my father, have plans for his future marriage."
"This box was left to Huahua by Huahuahua's mother. That lady trusted you and asked her to be an orphan before her death. We can't take advantage of her. We can't touch even a penny of Huahua's dowry. This also ends the relationship between you and her master and servant. point."
"Zhou Sheng..." Ping'er's eyes were red. She never thought that this rough man could be so considerate, open-minded and considerate of her.
"Thank you very much, Zhou Sheng. Don't worry, I will work harder to spin the thread and do embroidery work to sell. I am Bingbing's stepmother, and I treat him as my own son."
Zhou Sheng smiled, held Ping'er in his arms, and stroked Ping'er's hair: "Of course I know how you treat Bingbing. Let's work hard together to support this family. In the future, we will not only give Bingbing When a soldier gets married, he still needs to save a dowry for our little girl."
Ping'er smiled: "My little girl is still young. Don't say that. I will burst into tears when you say it."
Zhou Sheng was happy, "Okay, okay, then don't say it. If you continue to say it, I won't feel good."
