Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 698 Marrying the Wrong Man or the Right One? (19)

After earning Cen Qingqing one or two taels of silver, Gu Yuxi slowly led the donkey back home. Not long after she stopped, she said lightly, "Finally here."

"Master Wen, this is the place."

"Thank you for taking a walk, uncle."

Gu Erfang responded: "We got it mixed up at the beginning, so it turned out like this. Please don't blame me, nephew."

"It doesn't matter, the misunderstanding is resolved."

A handsome man followed the Gu family as they approached a courtyard gate, with an air of pride about him.

He frowned, and Gu Fenghuan beside him reminded him: "Master Wen, my sister is a merchant, so it is inevitable that she is a bit materialistic, please bear with me."

"Feng Huan, we need to clear up the misunderstanding. You know my..."

"Mr. Wen, please stop talking." Gu Fenghuan turned her head slightly, and Caixia's blushing face could no longer be hidden.

Gu Erfang saw the exchange of glances between the two, sighed slightly, and then returned to his gentle smile. He pushed open the door and said, "Nephew, come this way."

"Let's go."

Wen Pinyan just felt a chill all over his body, with the sun shining brightly in the sky. Could he have been wrong? It was really strange.

Snapped--

The water splashed everywhere, almost splashing on Wen Pinyan's shoes. He saw a slender figure in the mist carrying a bucket of water and pouring it on the donkey.

"Stop! Don't neglect our distinguished guests!"

After hearing what his stepfather said behind him, Gu Yuxi put down the brush, turned around, and saw several uninvited guests.

She wiped her hands on her apron, walked over and called out, "Hello, uncle, cousin, cousin, who is this?"

Gu Fenghuan saw that Gu Yuxi was dressed in rough clothes, with dirty shoes and other things, just like a country woman. She stole a glance at Wen Pinyan's expression and was even more delighted.

"Xiao Xi, this is the second son of the Chengyilang family in the capital, and he has some connection with our Gu family."

Gu Yuxi put away her knife-like coldness. She naturally knew where Wen Pinyan's disgust came from. She actually wanted to disgust him.

"I have met Master Wen. It is true that hearing about his fame is not as good as meeting him in person. Meeting him in person is even more famous than hearing about his fame. May I ask if Master Wen has ever seen the talented knight at the Wreath Conference? I really like his poem 'The clouds resemble clothes, the flowers resemble faces, the spring breeze blows over the threshold, and the dew is gorgeous'."

"Really? Miss Gu knows about the Wreath Conference?" Wen Pinyan's face stiffened at some point. He could still vividly remember how he had offended people at the Wreath Conference. Fortunately, there was a smart woman like Gu Fenghuan who came to his rescue.

"I heard it from hearsay, but my sister is also very good, she is number one."

Seeing Gu Fenghuan's pride, Gu Yuxi said again: "I don't know how beautiful Princess Yunrong is, but I want to see it with my own eyes."

Gu Fenghuan was not in a very good mood. She was so angry at the arrogant and spunky princess that her teeth itched.

She laughed and said, "Sister, after all, you are a woman of marriageable age, and these donkey and horse jobs are for men. Look, your clothes are all dirty after washing this donkey."

Gu Yuxi let Gu Fenghuan pat her on the shoulder, and then responded: "I can't help it. This is my donkey. I don't have any maids to follow me at home, so I can only do it myself. But sister, you have been in the capital for a long time, and you have lost a lot of weight. You are not as plump and cute as before."

Gu Fenghuan frowned and immediately said loudly: "What's the matter with plump or not? Sister, you still like to joke with me as always, and there are guests here."

Reminded of this, the serious man said, "Uncle is here today because of a big event that happened to you, my niece, and it was also a ridiculous thing that happened back then."

"Uncle, you said it was a ridiculous thing, so let's make it not ridiculous, so that we won't cause trouble to our family members when we mention it again in the future."

"Yes, yes, a lid matches a pot. Don't get it wrong, Xiaoxi." Gu Zhicheng's voice was full of sarcasm.

"Cousin, you guys can make the arrangements. I'm just a girl in seclusion. How would I know about this stupid thing?"

"Father, let your uncle sort this out."

"Please take a seat in my humble abode."

Wen Pinyan: "No need, uncle, this matter cannot be delayed, let's make it clear. After all, I have something important to do and cannot delay."

"Brother Fang, you say it. Master Wen doesn't mind not having tea."

"How can we do this? If we neglect the distinguished guest... then, we will do as Master Wen says." Gu Erfang was glared at and lowered his head in embarrassment, swallowing the polite words on his lips.

Gu Yuxi: "Dad, everyone is waiting for you to speak."

Gu Yuxi was also disdainful. This cheap father must be starving. Twenty taels of silver could allow him to turn right into wrong and sell off his own daughter's future.

Since he was so greedy and Ning Guigu was so coercive, she was happy. She just didn't know if they had noticed that their private money was lost last night.

The people in the first house were calculating so much that the beads were about to fly onto her face. In order to get Gu Erfang to speak, the rumors about Gu Fenghuan and Wen Pinyan were self-defeating.

But it is not so easy to take advantage. You have to borrow money to avoid disaster.

"It's like this, Xiaoxi. Everyone in Menghua City knows that our Gu and Wen families once had an affair."

"Isn't that childhood sweetheart Xindi's? You've always said that the girls from the Wen family must be good." Gu Yuxi played dumb and did not forget to accuse Gu Erfang of being a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.

"I never said that."

"Maybe my daughter got it mixed up. What you were talking about was spoiled..."

"Shut up!" Wen Pinyan said with disgust and scolded.

"Don't blame me, Master Wen. I was just being outspoken. It's all my fault that my father got such an important matter wrong."

Gu Erfang was so scared that he dared not say anything. Urged by his brother's eyes, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said again: "Dad made a mistake at the beginning."

"Dad, you said that we should not have different opinions from one family."

"It's like this. The person who was engaged to Master Wen was your cousin, but I mixed up the token and the birth date, which messed up your marriage with your cousin."

"So my daughter is getting married too?"

"nature."

Gu Fenghuan immediately said, "Sister, if a couple is not compatible, they will become resentful couples. Don't blame your uncle for this."

"That's not right, cousin. Since the token was wrong, just exchange it. Master Wen is my future brother-in-law anyway."

"My sister is really smart."

"Niece, the family your cousin was mistakenly engaged to has long lost contact with. The token of love was a pair of love locks, but your uncle can't remember where the locks are."

"What should we do? If his family asks us to fulfill our promise and the token is missing, we will be laughed at to death."

"It's my uncle's fault. How are you going to solve it, niece?"

Gu Yuxi said, "Uncle, this is a marriage. I can return my cousin's jade ruyi, but I lost the token with my birth date and horoscope. It's my marriage that's ruined. Do you think I should borrow money to ward off disaster?"

The man fell into deep thought, feeling unwilling as he saw Gu Yuxi refusing to give in unless he was paid.
