Chapter 575: Mrs. Xia

Chapter 575 Mrs. Xia

After hearing this, Qin Erlang had no choice but to go out to see Luo Huiniang in order to get rid of her. He also pulled Qin Sanlang along with him to prevent the Luo family girl from plotting against him and asking him to marry her. There was also Sanlang as a witness.

Luo Huiniang was very happy when she saw him coming out, and hurriedly handed him the gift she had prepared: "Second brother Qin, this is a gift I made for you. Take it and come back safely."

Qin Erlang did not answer it, but asked with a sneer: "What did you send? A purse or a handkerchief?"

 If these things are really given as gifts, it only shows that Luo Huiniang is a **** who wants to climb high.

Luo Huiniang said: "No, no, it's a pair of leather palms, which can protect the palms and prevent them from being scratched by the handle of the knife."

She stayed up late for two days and her hands were pricked with needles.

Qin Erlang didn’t believe it and said, “Open the bag.”

Luo Huiniang hurriedly opened the bag and held up the mouth of the bag to show him: "Well, take a look clearly. There is really only a pair of leather palms. This piece of sheepskin cost me half a tael of private money. It is very expensive."

After hearing this, Qin Erlang grabbed the bag and walked away.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped again, turned around and said to Luo Huiniang: "I hate you... A farm girl like you should find a farm man to marry. This is your destination. Gaozhi is not that easy to climb. .”

When Luo Huiniang heard what he said, she cried angrily and shouted at Qin Erlang: "Brother Qin, you are sick. I am just grateful to you for saving me. I don't think about anything else. You are too bullying!"

 After saying that, he ran away crying.

 Qin Erlang looked at her running back, turned around and went back to the house, and felt... was he thinking too much? Or maybe I shouldn't have said such hurtful words... Although the girl from the Luo family is not worthy of him, she is a good girl.

Gu Jinli waved to Qin Sanlang as a greeting, and immediately ran to chase Luo Huiniang.

Luo Huiniang didn't cry for long. When Gu Jinli caught up with her, she had already wiped away her tears and said: "Xiaoyu, you are right, there are many ways to repay kindness. If I don't treat Brother Qin well, I will do it again when he is in trouble." Go rescue him and repay your kindness."

He hurriedly took a few more breaths and said: "No, no, pretend I didn't say that Brother Qin needs to be well and don't get into trouble... I work hard to make money, and when I make enough money, I will give it to him as a life-saving grace." reward.”

Gu Jinli laughed when he heard this: "Okay, you work hard to make money, and when you save ten taels of silver, you can send it to him to buy out the life-saving grace."

Luo Huiniang: "Ten taels? Is it too little?"

Gu Jinli took her hand and walked home: "It's too much. It only costs three taels of silver to buy a servant. Our Hui Niang is not a servant, so if we give him three times more silver, he should snicker."

　　No matter how much you give, you are just feeding the wolf, and she feels heartbroken for ten taels.

"Where did you two go at night? Go back and sleep quickly." Gu Jinan came out to find someone with a torch. When he saw them, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gu Jinli, "If you don't go back, your parents will have to worry again."

Gu Jinli smiled and said: "We'll go back right now." He took Luo Huiniang into the house and went to sleep.

The next day, several families got up earlier than usual, while it was still dark, and went to Qin's house to see off Qin Erlang. After seeing Qin Erlang off, they went home and were busy with the morning's work.

Third Grandma was very reluctant to part with Qin Erlang, wiping her tears and said: "Just leave like this. I heard that Zhongzhou is not as peaceful as ours. Erlang won't be in any danger if he goes, right?"

The third grandfather scolded: "You old woman, can't you say some auspicious words? What are you talking about?"

After hearing this, the third grandma hurriedly said a few more words to ask God to bless Qin Erlang.

After seeing off Qin Erlang, Qin Sanlang will also return to the military headquarters, and he will spend less time at home in the future. Gu Jinli cooked a lot of delicious food and asked him to take it to the military station. Qin Sanlang accepted it all and revealed a message to her: "Uncle Jiang Qi may be the county captain."

Gu Jinli was surprised when he heard this: "What about Jiang County Lieutenant?"

Qin Sanlang said: "The water bandit case made the people above feel that the official system of county captains and county magistrates is very problematic. It is estimated that in the future, it will not be passed down from father to son like in the previous dynasty. It will be like the county magistrate. In a few years As soon as there is a change, Jiang County Lieutenant wants to pass the position of County Lieutenant to Uncle Jiang Qi before the imperial court is officially reorganized. With Uncle Jiang Qi as County Lieutenant, he can continue to protect everyone."

 Otherwise, if a new county captain comes, he is ignorant of his temperament and will be unfavorable to them.

He comforted Gu Jinli again: "Don't worry, Lieutenant Jiang County has already planned this matter. If there is no water bandit case, he will write a letter and pass the position to Uncle Jiang Qi in a few years. Now it is only a few years in advance." .”

Gu Jinli nodded after hearing this: "That's good."

He asked about the new county magistrate again: "Zou County Magistrate has been arrested. When will the new county magistrate come?"

Qin Sanlang shook his head: "I'm not sure. Nowadays, the superiors are very cautious about the appointment of county magistrates. If they don't send people from the official department, they will transfer someone from several neighboring counties. But no matter who comes, If you dare to do anything to seek personal gain with power, all eyes are watching, so I don’t have the guts to do it.”

The incident involving Zou County Cheng has harmed all the county magistrates. The county magistrates from all over Da Chu scolded Zou County Cheng so **** that they wanted to arrest him and cut him into pieces with a thousand knives.

After hearing this, Gu Jinli felt relieved. After sending Qin Sanlang away, the family began to get busy sending Brother Cheng to school.

Gu Jinli doesn't like Mr. Xia, but his family respects Mr. Xia very much.

 “Master Juren, it is Brother Cheng’s blessing to be able to teach us Brother Cheng, but we must study hard.” Third Grandpa told Brother Cheng.

 Brother Cheng smiled and nodded: "Yeah, Brother Cheng must study hard and not waste the family's money."

Mr. Xia didn't want the Gu family to know his purpose, so he taught Brother Cheng that he should also restrain himself and cultivate. The fee was quite expensive, twelve taels of silver a year.

Now that Gu Jinli's family is living a better life, the ten taels of silver a year for repairs is not a big deal to her family, so they spend it readily.

Gu Dashan made a special trip to the county town and bought a bunch of Xiu Liuli. Before dawn the next day, he took Cheng Geer, An Geer and Gu Jinli to Xia's house in the town.

 Brother Cheng carried a small cloth bag made by Gu Jinxiu, dressed up, and went to Xia's house in a mule cart.

To their surprise, when they arrived at Xia's house, they learned that Mrs. Xia was here.

Mrs. Xia liked them very much. When she saw the three brothers and sisters, her eyes turned red. She looked at them again and again and asked, "I heard that you have an eldest sister?"

Gu Jinli nodded: "Yeah."

Seeing that she didn't say much, Mrs. Xia had no choice but to say: "I heard that she is also good at embroidery."

Gu Jinli smiled: "Madam, you know a lot about my family's affairs."

Mrs. Xia smiled gently: "I also heard what An Geer said."

He then asked the maid to bring a brochure and handed it to Gu Jinli: "I have a brochure here, and I want your eldest sister to help me embroider an embroidery according to what is written on it."

She was afraid that Gu Jinli would refuse, so she added: "I will give you money for the embroidery, and I won't let your eldest sister's work go in vain."
