Although Gu Changle took people to Songjiacun to get back the betrothal gift, the matter was completely settled.
But Songjiacun is right next door, not far away.
Any gossip will easily reach them.
So Liu and the others had heard a lot about Song Yuxiang.
I heard that her family has chosen a family in the city for her, and they will officially get married after they pass the academy examination.
Even if you don't ask specifically about these things, you can still hear them when chatting with others in the village every day.
Previously, he had always despised Su Yu for being useless and was unwilling to let his daughter marry him. On the contrary, he also said that Su Yu was delaying other people's good years.
This time Su Yu was admitted as a scholar and felt proud.
Those in the Song family didn't regret it, but Mrs. Liu didn't know.
But she felt very relieved!
Think about this.
Then I heard Su Yu in front say: "The person who sent us back is a neighbor of the Changle family in Fucheng, named Li Erlang."
"I would also like to ask uncles and uncles to help arrange a place for him to live."
Li Erlang is helping to unload the luggage.
Hearing this, he stood still and smiled at everyone.
Only then did everyone realize that the driver was tall, strong, and good-looking.
It turns out that he is really no ordinary coachman.
Su Yongqiang quickly said: "Just go to my house and sleep."
"I have an empty room at home. You can live in it after your aunt cleans it up."
Su Yu thanked him and said, "Then I'll trouble my uncle."
"Since we are all guests, don't stand outside. Just wait for Su Yu and his brothers to help with your luggage."
"Come in and drink tea."
Li Erlang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tie up the carriage first, and I'll go in later."
No one in the village knew anything about carriages, let alone horses.
Only Li Erlang can really do this.
Even if Su Yu felt embarrassed, he could only let Li Erlang continue to do it.
Su Yu and his group entered the house first.
Some aunts came to Li Erlang curiously: "This young man, are you also from Fucheng?"
Li Erlang replied with a smile: "Yes."
"How many brothers and sisters do you have in your family?"
"Uh... quite a few."
The people in the village were so enthusiastic that they asked all kinds of questions as soon as they arrived.
Fortunately, Li Erlang's reaction speed is not bad.
"Oh, there are so many brothers and sisters, then your parents are really lucky."
"Are you married?"
an aunt asked enthusiastically.
Li Erlang still remembered his character and said awkwardly: "Haha, we're married."
"It's such a pity that we got married..."
If she didn't get married, she would still want to marry her daughter.
They are all from Fucheng and are Gu Changle's neighbors.
If they can get married, if Su Yu succeeds in the imperial examination and rises to great heights, won't they also benefit from it?
But it doesn’t matter if the marriage doesn’t happen.
The aunts asked Li Erlang curiously about Gu Changle.
Previously, they only knew that Gu Changle was from Fucheng. Although he could read and write, his family was from an ordinary family background.
But no matter how much, I have never heard from Gu Changle.
Here comes a person who can inquire, and everyone can't help but pry.
Li Erlang couldn't stand the enthusiastic questions from these aunts, so he quickly tied the horse and entered the house as if he was running away.
After entering the room, Su Yu invited him to sit aside.
Madam Liu and Madam Wu had already diligently prepared tea for everyone in the room.
Su Yu discovered.
This is not cold boiled water, but tea made from tea.
And the tea bowls are also new.
There are quite a few more.
One for everyone present was actually enough.
Needless to say, his uncle and brother-in-law must have helped organize this.
Su Yu thought that he would have to return the money to both of them later.
The money that was previously provided for his education must be paid back first.
After the bookstore makes money later and I have more money on hand, I will slowly be filial to them.
Su Yongchang didn't bother to drink tea first and said happily: "I said it last time."
"If you pass this college exam, we have to have a banquet to celebrate in a glorious way."
Su Yu nodded and said, "I have to ask my uncle to help me sort out these matters."
"And I still have to prepare for ancestor worship and make up for the worship ceremony."
Su Yongchang said cheerfully: "You don't have to worry about these, we as elders will naturally help you take care of it."
"You have taken the lead this time, and our ancestors are also happy."
"This sacrifice must be prepared in a rich way, so that our ancestors can also take advantage of you as a talented scholar!"
The Su family has always been farmers, and has never produced anyone with a good reputation.
Now Su Yu has been admitted as a scholar and is still ranked first!
There are so many young talents in Fucheng, how difficult it is to be ranked first.
It can be said that it is a glorious ancestor!
Su Yongqiang did not interrupt and was listening to his elder brother's arrangements.
But he also had a proud look on his face.
A group of people sat at Su Yu's house all afternoon.
The village chief and his wife Zhang were also invited to stay for dinner.
There were so many people that Wu killed two chickens and bought a lot of pork in the town.
There were two tables of people sitting lively.
They kept eating and drinking until it got dark, and then they finally dispersed.
After the women have cleared the table and kitchen, the young couple can wash and rest.
Su Yu's big bed has been delivered.
At this time, everything was laid out, and the bedding had been replaced with new ones, still smelling of sunshine.
It was obviously just exposed yesterday.
Lying on the bed, Gu Changle stretched comfortably.
"I obviously haven't done anything, but why do I feel so tired?"
Su Yu also yawned: "I've been talking all afternoon, and I'm quite tired."
Blow out the candle and lie down in bed.
Su Yu said: "My aunt said that she will come over tomorrow to measure your size."
"When the time comes, we will go to the town to find a tailor to make us a new wedding dress to wear on the day of worship."
Su Yu took the scholar examination this time, plus the ceremony of mending the hall.
This is a double blessing.
So it should be done in a more glamorous manner.
"I'm so happy..."
In general, girls from other families will start preparing wedding clothes after the marriage has been negotiated.
Some are even prepared from childhood.
As Gu Changle, he was naturally prepared.
Moreover, during Su Yu's stay in Fucheng, she also made preparations.
Gu Changle said: "Then let the aunt come over and help me measure it."
Fortunately, she had foreseen this and brought all the wedding clothes with her.
Then just ask Erlang to help go to the town to get it back.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Now that we have money, we need to use good materials for our wedding clothes and buy some jewelry for you."
"Although I can't give you the best, I will try my best to give you what I can."
"But if you want something that I haven't considered, then you have to remind me."
Gu Changle looked a little moved and said: "I don't want anything..."
"You've done a good enough job."
