Gu Sheng, a Jinling native, bo in material art, and the family is poor. And the mother could not bear to leave her knees. But the day is a man of calligraphy and painting, and he is self-sufficient. There are five out of twenty years, and the two are still empty.
Gu Sheng, a scholar surnamed Gu. In the past, people who read books were respected because not many people used to read and write.
Just like the college students in the eighties, called the proud son of heaven, when a village produced a college student, it was a proud thing, unlike now, tens of thousands of college students every year, as soon as they graduate, they are unemployed.
A native of Jinling, he lives in today's Nanjing. Many names in the past have been changed to now. So much so that now there is a song, and the last sentence is: I am Zhao Zilong of Shijiazhuang.
Gu Sheng's learning is very good, but his family is too poor. The original text is written as poor, that is, too poor. It seems that this is poor to a certain extent. It seems that just having an identity is not enough, and it is no wonder that the ancients said a sentence when they were helpless: a hundred useless are students. Too poor to eat, technology is no longer the first productive force.
Gu Sheng was old because his mother at home was old, and he couldn't leave. It seems that the place where Gu Sheng lives is not the city center. In the past, it was said that the parents were there, not far away. Gu Sheng's family was poor, but because the old woman was old, she couldn't go out to work.
It can be seen that the place where Gu Sheng lives is not particularly economically developed. Just like the current migrant workers, the family farms less money and goes out to work.
Gu Sheng had no choice, he was at home, relying on writing and painting for people, earning some money to support the old woman. It is estimated that this quality of life will not be too good, but it will also go on.
The two women can eat, but there is no extra money. So much so that Gu Sheng reached the age of twenty-five and was not yet married. In the past, the Qing Dynasty did not pay attention to late marriage. According to the present, twenty-five years old is not a thing, it is still young. But in the past, no, men got married at fifteen or sixteen.

There was a vacancy for the old household, an old woman and a young girl lived in it, and there was no man in his family, so he did not ask him who was. One day even from the outside, see the girl out of the mother's room, about eighteen or nineteen years old, Xiu ManDuya, the world is rare, see the life is not very avoided, but the intention is like also.
Opposite Gu Sheng's house, there was an empty house, there was an old lady with a girl, renting in that house, there was no man in that house, although it was a neighbor, I did not ask them what their name was.
There was a saying in the past that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and close neighbors are not as good as opposite doors. In the past, when I lived in a bungalow, the relationship between neighbors was very close. Take care of each other. Unlike now, they all live in buildings, and when they close the door, they don't know if anyone lives on the door.
Gu Sheng's side came out and went in every day, and he was also curious about who lived at the door. On this day, Gu Sheng came back from outside and saw a girl coming out of his house, about eighteen or nineteen years old, who looked quite beautiful and had a good temperament. Absolutely beautiful, and he had grown so big that he had never seen it.
In the past, the girl paid attention to the fact that the door did not go out, and the second door did not go. In a family with some education, the big girls don't go out, and they also take a car and a car when they go out. Girls with temperament are generally not seen.
When Gu Sheng saw a beautiful girl, he was stunned and stood there. When the girl came out of the house, she also saw Gu Sheng, and it was said that the girl had to bow her head and finish as soon as she left. But this girl did not, seeing that Gu Sheng did not bow her head, nor did she deliberately avoid it, it was natural to look at it like this, and it passed away. But with a smirk on her face, according to what she said now, this girl was quite tall and cold.

Born into the mother. Mother: "It is a girl in the household, just beg for a knife ruler, and it is appropriate to say that her family is only a mother." This woman does not resemble a poor family property. Ask him what is not a word, then take the mother and the elder as the word. Tomorrow when he worships his mother, he will be willing to do so, and if he does not wish, his son may raise his old age. ”
When the girl left, Gu Sheng entered the house and asked his mother: Who is this such a beautiful girl? Why did we come to our house?
His mother said: This is the girl who lives at the door, go to our house to borrow a knife ruler, this is the tool to be a female red. Women in the past could not go out to work, so they made some female red knitting at home to kill time.
I remember when I was a child, my mother was fine at home, and she still had the soles of her shoes. It is estimated that when I talk to the children now about the appearance of shoes, I don't know what it is.
Come over to borrow something, you must chat a few idle words, the old lady in the country, the parents are short, this is also a habit of their life.
It is nothing more than asking the girl how many people in the family, how can I not get married when I am so old, according to the current saying, it is to do not engage in the object, I will introduce you to one. It is estimated that the current girls, but all those who have reached the age are deeply affected by it.
The girl said that there was an old woman in the family, and the two of them lived together. This girl's temperament does not look like she grew up in a poor family.
The temperament that this man carries can really bring out. From the conversation, you can bring out a lot of information about this person's taste, living environment, and so on.
This is also the difference between flour and flour, made into a bun for fifty cents, made into a delicate cake, just dozens of pieces of a difference.
The old lady asked the girl why she was not married. In the past, women were also married fifteen or sixteen, just like men. In the past, there was no rule on how much marriage was given, and some even married earlier, unlike now, our country stipulates that men are 22 years old and women are 20 years old.
The reason the girl replied was that the family was poor and there was an old lady who was not in good health. So not married. In the past, this reason was valid, because as soon as I got married, I went to live in someone else's house, of course, there were also backward doors, less.
The old lady told Gu Sheng that she also came today, and tomorrow I will go to their house to visit the door and talk, and by the way, I also revealed that I want to mention my relatives. See what that girl means.
If the girl is not demanding, you can also support her mother. This is the old lady herself think of good things, her own son can not get the object, this is met one, whether you can afford to buy, first try and then say. In case it becomes, go for your own heart disease.

Tomorrow he will build his room, and his mother will be deaf and deaf. Depending on the fact that there is no food for the room, the woman's ten fingers are looked up to. Xu tried it with the same food, and he was like a woman, and turned to his daughter; the woman was silent and unhappy.
The next day, Gu Mu came to visit the door opposite. I also don't know that Gu Sheng saw such a beautiful and temperamental high-cold royal sister the day before, and did not sleep well at night.
When I got to the opposite door, I knocked on the door and came in, and there was a deaf old lady in the house, and when I looked at the house, I was even poorer than my own home. Poor is not a little bit, there is no food for the night. It's just eating the last meal and not the next meal.
This scene is something we can't imagine now, and now our family, no matter how poor, has food to eat, go out to pick up a few drink bottles, and you can also change steamed bread to eat.
Chat with deaf old ladies, gossip, and ask them how they usually live. This means what you two usually eat.
The old lady replied: Just relying on the girl to do some manual work for others is much more difficult than the life of her own family. Because women can't show their faces.
Mother Gu consulted with the deaf old lady, can our family marry this girl of your family, so that my son will support you two in the future.
When the old lady heard this, she was very happy. I'm happy in my heart, yes, I don't have to starve every day. Don't care who you eat, you can just have food to eat, and you and your girl don't have to starve.
The deaf old lady discussed this with the cold daughter, and you see if it is okay. In the past, when I said this, no party sat there and said it, unlike now, it was both the male and female parties who sat there and talked.
The deaf old lady consulted with her daughter, but the girl did not speak, which meant that she did not agree. I look unhappy when I look at it.
This is still the case, the adults for their children to find objects, are from a practical point of view, first look at the other party's economic conditions.
What jobs, whether there is a car, whether there is a house or not. Then feel good, say that it is appropriate or inappropriate, as if you don't care so much about the feelings of both parties.

Mother is homecoming. Detailed and suspicious: "Is the woman not poor? For people do not say or laugh, bright as peach and plum, and cold as frost and snow, strange people also! Mother and son sighed.
Gu Mu got the answer she wanted and went home. My son is still at home waiting for the results. The old lady described in detail to her son that she had gone to the opposite door.
The two women were at home to analyze, and the probability of success of this matter was probably greater. Gu Mu said: Look at the girl like that is not agreed, is she thinking that our family is poor.
But look at her like that, she doesn't talk or laugh, she's just very good-looking, very tall and cold, really a strange person.
The two women guessed for half a day, and did not come up with the reason, so they put it down, yes, life still has to go on. You can't delay something else because you don't understand something.
