I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 292 Let’s get married

The girl that Gu Yonghe introduced to Fang Youliang was from Dayangzhuang and was a cousin of Gu Yonghe's husband.

Fang Youliang worked with Gu Wenxuan. Although Gu Yonghe didn't know that Fang Youliang had a lot of private money on hand, she knew that with Gu Wenxuan's personality, Fang Youliang would definitely live a good life in the future.

In addition, he is the only son in the family and will inherit all the family wealth in the future. His parents and sister are all easy to get along with and sensible people. Whoever marries him will not be bullied or treated harshly in the future.

Gu Yonghe was very optimistic about Fang Youliang and took great pains to carefully select a matchmaker for him. With her help, the man and woman quickly got married.

Their wedding date is set for this winter. On the wedding day, Gu Wenxuan, Bai Jingzhou and others all went to Fang's house to join in the fun.

It’s not that they don’t want to come and help in advance, but the Fang family has so many people that they simply can’t grab any work.

On the special day, they went to deliver a generous gift, joined in the fun with everyone, took a few bites of the first dish that was served, and then Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou quietly slipped out of Fang's house.

They now have enough oil and water for three meals a day, so there is no need to stay in Fang's house and fight with the villagers for meat and vegetables. Instead of watching everyone using chopsticks quickly, they might as well go home and make a small hot pot to eat some vegetables.

After leaving Fang's house, the two walked on the deserted village road. Bai Jingzhou discussed with Gu Wenxuan, "Sister Wenxuan, shall we get married next year?"

Gu Wenxuan, who was stretching, asked, "Ah?"

This was really...too beyond her expectations.

Bai Jingzhou made a serious statement, "Next year I will be fifteen years old and can get married."

Gu Wenxuan was speechless.

Although men of this era basically get married between the ages of fifteen and twenty, if someone wants to get married earlier or later it is not absolutely impossible. At most, it will just cause some gossip about it, which is not a big deal and has no impact on the person involved.

She didn't understand why Bai Jingzhou was in such a hurry to get married.

Bai Jingzhou looked at her and said, "We went out to do business together and traveled long distances to Haizhou together. Some people talked about us behind our backs. It would be different if we got married. I could take you with me wherever I go."

Gu Wenxuan didn't care about these rumors. "Let them talk. It won't hurt anyone."

Bai Jingzhou shook his head vigorously with a determined look on his face, "No, if these rumors spread for too long, they will damage your reputation in the future."

Gu Wenxuan, "...You are very good at adapting to local customs."

Bai Jingzhou was silent for a moment, "Okay, I'll tell the truth."

Gu Wenxuan raised her eyebrows and waited for him to speak.

Bai Jingzhou blushed, not sure if it was because he was shy or cold. "Actually, age, reputation, these high-sounding reasons are all reasons I came up with to convince you. I want to get married simply because I have wanted to marry you for a long, long time."

Before Gu Wenxuan did anything, Bai Jingzhou couldn't help but cover his face with his hands. He looked at Gu Wenxuan with shy and affectionate eyes, "When I misunderstood that you hated me, I could still control myself and keep my distance from you. When I realized that the so-called 'hate' was all caused by my own stupidity, I couldn't help but want to fight for myself once."

What he didn't say was that the reason why he was able to hold back his sadness and stay away from Gu Wenxuan at that time was not only because he misunderstood that Gu Wenxuan hated him, but also because he misunderstood that Gu Wenxuan had someone in her heart.

His life was saved by Gu Wenxuan, the inheritance left by his parents was obtained by Gu Wenxuan, and Gu Wenxuan also gave him a warm and happy home. He could not let Gu Wenxuan be troubled by his delusions.

"I don't know how happy I am that you are willing to accept and respond to my love, but I can't control my greed. While I feel satisfied and happy, I can't help but want to get closer to you, closer and closer."

His beautiful pair of black and bright eyes blinked at Gu Wenxuan, making Gu Wenxuan feel tingling in her heart.

She raised her hand and gently stroked Bai Jingzhou's blushing face with her fingertips. "Then as you wish, let's get married."

Bai Jingzhou's eyes widened and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, but before he could say anything, his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Sister Wenxuan." There was a hint of sob in his voice, a small change caused by crying for joy.

At this moment, Bai Jingzhou was both happy and regretful. He was happy that Gu Wenxuan agreed to get married so readily, but he regretted that why didn't he expect that the other party would agree so readily?

If he knew that he meant so much to Gu Wenxuan, he would never just mention it tentatively, but would carefully prepare a proposal ceremony.

Bai Jingzhou regretted it, and while regretting it, he was thinking in his mind how to hold a proposal ceremony for Gu Wenxuan as soon as possible.

Gu Wenxuan had no idea what he was thinking. The two of them slowly returned to Gu Wenxuan's house, sat opposite each other and happily ate hotpot together.

Bai Jingzhou was quick and efficient, and he did most of the work. Gu Wenxuan was only responsible for passing the bowl, eating, passing the bowl, and eating again.

On the third day after Fang Youliang got married, Bai Jingzhou received a reply letter sent by Peng Xuan, Mu Hanzhi and Mu Jingzhi.

Peng Xuan'an's letter was concise and to the point. In the letter, he mainly revealed two pieces of news to Bai Jingzhou. One was that when I was on vacation, he would come to Baijia Village to play with Bai Jingzhou, and the other was that he would bring people over to copy books at that time, so Bai Jingzhou would not have to work hard alone.

Mu Jingzhi's letter was much longer than Peng Xuan'an's. He first complained to Bai Jingzhou about how life in the capital was not fun at all and how the people there openly and secretly excluded him as a "merchant boy". Then he wailed that he wanted to come back, but his brother would never let him go back.

He also reminded Bai Jingzhou several times to study hard and go to the capital with Peng Xuan'an to visit him as soon as possible.

At the end of the letter, he told Bai Jingzhou that he had also helped collect the seeds sent to Baijia Village, and he also had someone send two carts of soil from the capital to Bai Jingzhou and his team.

"......If you feel good after trying it, write to me again and I will buy more for you."

Mu Hanzhi's letter was the same as Peng Xuan'an's, only two thin pages, but he said much more than Peng Xuan'an.

He first responded to Bai Jingzhou's previous thanks, telling him not to be polite to him. Then he said that the festival gifts and local rituals had been received and that his family liked them very much.

As for the new book mentioned by Bai Jingzhou. The Mu family was born into a merchant family. Although they were rich, they lacked a solid foundation, so Mu Hanzhi was eager to enrich his family's collection of books. In his reply to Bai Jingzhou this time, he asked Bai Jingzhou if he could send a few qualified people to Baijia Village to copy the books.

Of course he still had to buy the wine. Mu Hanzhi said in the letter that the person who came to Baijia Village to deliver the letter would be responsible for trading wine with Bai Jingzhou.

He also mentioned the crop seeds that were available in the capital but not in Xingzhou, and told Bai Jingzhou that he had asked someone to deliver the things along with the letter.
