Gu Mingda said so many things to prove the preciousness of the pen washer, but he didn't expect Niuniu to insist on giving it to him.

"My dear, the pen washer may be sold for thousands of taels of silver. If you meet someone who really knows the business, it may be sold for more. You can take this money and live a worry-free life in the future." Gu Mingda reiterated to his daughter the preciousness of the pen washer.

Niuniu insisted: "No matter how much it is worth, it's just a gift. Niuniu gave it to Daddy, will Daddy sell it for money?"

Gu Mingda didn't know what to say for a moment.

Niuniu asked again: "Dad is so familiar with the story of Emperor Taizong of Yan, you must like him very much."

Gu Mingda didn't expect his daughter to be so smart, and said: "Dad only regrets that he was born in the wrong dynasty. If he lived a few hundred years ago, Dad would definitely give up literature and join the military, serve under Emperor Taizong of Yan, and go with him to fight the grassland people."

Niuniu had seen Gu Mingda's love for the pen washer before, and said: "So Niuniu bought the pen washer for the right person, Dad will definitely cherish this gift."

Gu Mingda's nose was sour, his daughter was too considerate, and a thing worth a thousand gold was just a gift that her father liked in her eyes.

This pen washer was finally placed in the deep of the cabinet by Gu Mingda with great care, and he took it out to enjoy it when he was tired of reading.

Except Zhang Yunniang, no one else knew that this pen washer was an old item worth a thousand gold.

A few days after the Dragon Boat Festival, all the Gu family members moved. Gu Yun asked for leave from the government office, and Gu Mingda put down his books.

Early in the morning, the whole family took a carriage back to Qingshui Village.

The Gu family came and went in Qingshui Village. Today was the day when Gu Laosan remarried.

In the past few months, Gu Xiaoya and Gu Xiaobao had been in contact with Zheng Cuier.

Gu Xiaoya was not opposed to her father remarrying, but Gu Xiaobao suddenly left his mother Liu Erni, and made a fuss for a few days, but he was coaxed soon.

The Liu family did not have any good intentions. They all lived in the same village. Even if they were cruel enough to sell Liu Erni to the mountains as a common wife, they would still instigate the two children when they had nothing to do.

In words and deeds, they were all blaming Gu Laosan and Zheng Cuier.

Today, the Gu family was very happy. The Liu family did not receive an invitation at all, but it did not stop these people from finding opportunities to catch the two children and talk nonsense.

"With a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Your life will be miserable in the future." Liu Lao Ni said while wiping her tears, pretending to be distressed for them.

Gu Xiaobao was young and soft-hearted. Hearing this, he immediately looked at his sister Gu Xiaoya with tears in his eyes.

Gu Xiaoya rolled her eyes on the spot and said, "Our stepmother is a good person. She used to help Niuniu with work. I told you more than a dozen times that she can't be mean to us. Why are you crying again!"

Liu Lao Niang said again, "Your father remarried so quickly. Did he have any scandal with Zheng Cui'er? Poor my daughter, she was divorced and sent home without any fault..."

Gu Xiaoya had heard these words so many times that her ears were callused. She said casually, "No matter how fast he remarried, it's not as fast as my mother's remarriage. My mother left home because she stole money from home. She was wrong. Her biggest mistake was that she was your daughter and only knew how to steal things for her uncles every day!"

When Liu Lao Niang heard this, she was so angry that her nose was about to smoke. She said, "You child, how can you talk to your elders!"

Liu Lao Niang didn't take her own daughter seriously, so naturally she wouldn't take her granddaughter seriously. She raised her hand to hit her.

Before Gu Xiaoya could run, a figure rushed out from her side.

"Get lost, the two families have long lost their relationship, stop dragging my granddaughter here to talk nonsense!"

If Niu Niu hadn't said that she couldn't find Xiaoya, Grandma Gu wouldn't have thought of looking for her.

When the old lady saw Liu Lao Niang, she was immediately furious and picked up a broom to beat her.

Liu Lao Niang was unhappy and said, "You mean old hag, why are you beating people when your family is having a wedding today? I want to let the villagers see..."

Grandma Gu was impatient to listen to her rambling. Anyway, the two families had fallen out a long time ago, and the grandchildren didn't recognize this grandmother, so she picked up a broom and started fighting again.

Niu Niu shouted from the side: "My grandma is not an old hag! You are an old hag, you bully Xiaoya, grandma beat her!"

If Gu Xiaoya hadn't held Niu Niu tightly, Niu Niu really wanted to find a broom to join the battle.

Old Lady Gu chased Old Lady Liu for half a mile. When she saw that everyone had run away, she walked back with a broom in her hand.

When she arrived at the door of her house, she saw a group of old ladies sitting on benches in the sun waiting for the wedding banquet.

Old Lady Gu threw the broom and said, "Push, squeeze."

The old ladies moved to the side skillfully and made a place for Old Lady Gu.

"Mother of the scholar, you have made it now and followed your son to the city."

"Life is so good. Look at how fat you have become."

"Oh, your clothes are so beautiful. They are not cheap, are they?"

The old ladies said in unison.

Old Lady Gu raised her head slightly. Did she wear new clothes to go back to the village to attend her son's wedding banquet? Of course not!

She was here for this moment, to let the old ladies in the village see that she is now a city person! She is living a good life!

"This dress was given by Niuniu as a gift. I tried to stop her from buying it, but she was so stubborn. How could this dress be so expensive? It actually cost two taels of silver... The city is not that good. Everything you eat and use costs money. It's very expensive." Old Lady Gu pretended to complain, but in fact she was showing off.

"You are lucky. Your husband loves you and your son is also promising."

"Niuniu is so powerful now. When I saw her just now, I didn't dare to recognize her. Her face was so white and she was so well-dressed. She even had silver bells hanging on her hair. Some people believed her even if she was a young lady from a wealthy family in the city."

"Yes, who would have thought that such a beautiful little girl was almost killed by that bad guy Zhang Guangzong! Let me tell you, it's the kindness of your old Gu family that raised her so well."

When she suddenly heard Zhang Guangzong's name, Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment. Then she thought of this man's fate and felt like everything was the same as in the previous life.

"We, Niuniu, are the lucky ones. Whoever we fall into will be prosperous." Mrs. Gu said, she was not happy to associate Niuniu with the Zhang family.

A group of old ladies sighed with emotion: "You are also kind-hearted and really treat Niuniu well. You don't know how miserable Mrs. Cai is now. Her son has been exiled and her grandson has been lost. Her daughter and son-in-law can't be counted on. Last month she said she wanted to find her son. At home The old brick and tiled houses were all sold at a low price, and they left their hometowns when they got old.”

When everyone mentioned Granny Cai, they immediately lamented. At the age of a grandmother, she had to stay away from her homeland. In the future, she would not know where she would be buried.

Old Mrs. Gu didn't want to hear these unlucky words from other ladies on such a happy day, so she touched her hair as if unintentionally, precisely letting everyone see the gold hairpin she was wearing.

"Oh, is this a gold hairpin? You are really better dressed than the landlord's grandmother!"

A group of old ladies surrounded Mrs. Gu and kept asking questions.

After receiving the envy of the old sisters, Mrs. Gu was not only satisfied, but said deliberately: "I am very old, so I have to wear gold and silver everywhere, but my old man always wants me to wear something nice. This The golden hairpin was won by Guan Pu, do you understand Guan Pu..."

It was obviously Mrs. Gu's highlight moment, but someone suddenly shouted.

"Let's get started!"

A group of old ladies couldn't care less about listening to Mrs. Gu show off. They dispersed in an instant and swarmed towards the banquet in the yard.
