Chapter 326: Intend

Chapter 326 Plan

He Cui'er's family was poor, and her mother felt sorry for her son and was reluctant to let her son do the corvee work, so she wanted He Cui'er to go to Gu Daya's house as soon as possible, and then deduct the money from Gu Daya's house and use the money to give her son the corvee service. It's worth it.

"I know." He Cuier pushed her second brother's daughter away dissatisfied and entered her house, thinking about how to capture Qi Kangping.

 …

The Gu Jinli family didn't know what the He Cuier family was planning, and they were happily preparing for the festival.

The third grandma made two kinds of rice dumplings with glutinous rice. The dinner at home that night was meat rice dumplings and sweet rice dumplings.

 Gu Jinli loved meat. After eating three meat dumplings and a bowl of tea made from wild hawthorn, he had a good sleep.

When they got up the next morning, they tied on the five-poison sachet made by Gu Jinxiu.

At noon, the third mistress carried them to the yard and stood them in a row.

The third grandma dipped lemongrass in realgar water and poured it on them: "Drinking water at noon will dispel disasters and evil spirits. This year's hot summer will be over safely."

The third grandma was drinking the noon water and talking about driving away the five poisons.

Luo Huiniang saw it in her yard and ran over and said, "Third Grandma, I also want to fetch water at noon."

The third grandma smiled and said: "Sure, I can't do without you, girl."

Luo Wu followed Luo Huiniang into Gu Jinli's house with a gift in his hand. When the third grandma saw him, she said happily: "Brother Wu is back, hurry up, come and stand still."

“Hey.” Luo Wu deliberately stood next to Gu Jinxiu, causing Gu Jinan and Gu Jinli to narrow their eyes at the same time.

Luo Wu is becoming more and more bold. Although he wanted to get close to Gu Jinxiu before, he would avoid it when there were many people. Now he doesn't avoid it at all. Wherever Gu Jinxiu is, he will get close to him.

The third grandma quickly finished filling them with water at noon: "It's done, let's go play."

He looked at Brother Wu again and asked, "Erlang and Sanlang haven't come back?"

Luo Wu shook his head: "No, they are taking turns this time."

 The military office is the same as the county government. Not everyone comes back every time they take a bath. They have to be on duty. He had already been on duty last time, so he came back this time to save energy.

The third grandma felt pity when she heard this: "There are not enough people here, so the festival is a bit lacking."

He then said to Luo Wu: "When you return to the county town tomorrow, bring them some food."

"Okay, Third Grandma, pack the things and I will take them to them when I return to the county seat." Luo Wu said, took out the gift he brought and handed it to Third Grandma: "Third Grandma, this is the silk from the county cloth store. You always keep the rope to tie your hair."

Gu Jinli Haha, I’ve changed my tactics.

Third Grandma looked at the pile of colorful silk ropes and said with a smile: "How old is Third Grandma? There is no need to waste these things. You can take them back to Hui Niang for use."

Luo Huiniang raised her hand, pointed to the silk rope tied around her wrist and said, "Third Grandma, I have it. My brother gave it to you, Lao Hexiu, and Xiaoyu. Just accept it."

The smile on Luo Wu's face became a little brighter, and he answered: "Yes, Third Grandma, just accept it. It's not a valuable thing, and I can afford it with my salary."

Without waiting for Third Grandma to speak, he rushed to Gu Dashan who was sitting in the room and said to Third Grandpa: "Third Grandpa, Uncle Dashan, this is the wine I bought for you. Try it. If you drink it well, I will come back next time." I’ll buy it for you again.”

Gu Dashan likes Luo Wu very much. This is his favorite son-in-law. He happily accepted the wine and asked Luo Wu to talk.

Luo Wu got what he wanted. He told Gu Dashan and Third Grandpa a lot about working as an errand in the county government: "Master Tian who is next to County Magistrate Xu thinks highly of me. Now I have a lot of success in doing errands in the county government."

 Because of the case involving Sun Li's family last time, he caught Master Tian's eye. The third grandfather frowned when he heard this and asked him: "Is Master Tian the county magistrate? What is his relationship with Zou County Cheng?"

Luo Wu knew what Third Grandpa was worried about and explained: "Master Tian is a confidant of the county magistrate and is not close to Zou County Cheng."

"That's good." The third grandfather reminded him again: "Our family is with the Wei family of Jiang County. You were brought in by the Jiang family, but you know who to marry. You can't ignore the Jiang family just because of Master Tian."

Luo Wudao: "Don't worry, I know that I won't ignore the Jiang family because of others."

 He is not stupid, and there is no way he would do anything to chill the Jiang family because of Master Tian.

The third grandfather felt relieved after hearing this, and talked a lot with Luo Wu. It was not until the afternoon that Luo Wu took Luo Huiniang home.

Before leaving, he glanced at Gu Jinxiu several times, but Gu Jinan stopped him in time: "Brother Luo Wu, let me see you off."

After saying that, Luo Wu was dragged out of his house.

Grandpa San saw what Luo Wu was thinking. After Gu Jinxiu and the others went to the kitchen to help, he asked Gu Dashan: "What did Tiezhu tell you?"

 Brother Wu is quite young.

Gu Dashan said: "Brother Luo and his sister-in-law are afraid that Brother Wu will not be able to protect Sister Xiu. They say they want Brother Wu to practice in the county government for two or three years until he shows up, has skills and connections." Later, come to our house to propose marriage."

The third grandfather was relieved when he heard this: "It's good that Mr. and Mrs. Tiezhu have a plan."

When the matchmaker came to the door, Sister Xiu had already announced that she would observe mourning for the dead villagers in Gujia Village for three years. This was a righteous act, and it was hard not to do it once she said it.

But the girl’s family is not old enough to withstand the wear and tear. The third grandfather is worried that after three years, Sister Xiu will look for someone in a hurry and she will get the wrong person, so he still thinks it is better to match the Luo family.

 After all, they can all see how Brother Wu treats Sister Xiu, and their hearts and eyes are really full of Sister Xiu.

But Brother Wu is already eighteen this year and will be twenty-one in three years. At this age, others would have several children, and he is worried that the Luo family will not be able to wait.

Now that I heard this, I finally feel relieved.

After a cup of tea, Gu Jinan came back and went directly to the chicken coop in the backyard to mix chicken food for the chickens raised at home.

Gu Jinli followed him to the backyard and asked him, "Did you beat Brother Luo Wu?"

Gu Jinan glanced at her, and while adding water and stirring the chaff in the wooden trough, he said: "Your brother, I am a gentle man, not a rough man who likes to do things."

 He uses his brain.

Gu Jinli was very contemptuous when he heard this: "Then what did you say to Brother Luo Wu?"

Gu Jinan added two bowls of bean dregs to the wooden trough and continued to stir: "Brother Luo Wu said that he will restrain himself in the future. Before his family comes to formally propose marriage, he will not do anything to make people gossip, nor will he tell anyone Eldest Sister, his thoughts make it difficult for Eldest Sister."

When Gu Jinli heard the satisfactory answer, he nodded and said, "That's good."

This is not modern time. If gossip spreads, Gu Jinxiu's life will be over.

Gu Jinan put the wooden trough into the chicken coop, cooing in his mouth, and after the chickens came to eat, he said: "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, big brother is here. Let's go, today is the holiday, do it for big brother Go for the sweet and sour pork, that’s delicious.”

Gu Jinli clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Brother, you are a man, why do you also like sweets?" Anyone with a bad attitude should refuse sweets.
