Chapter 196 197. Which one should I sing?

"Sister Dashi," Gu Shulin just happened to walk towards them, "Are you getting ready to go to the fields?"

Li Cuicui nodded. She was not in the mood to chat with others and was about to pass by him.

When Gu Shulin saw her expression, he had already guessed something in his mind. The last time the Gu Yuanjin brothers asked him to help write a letter, he knew what kind of conflicts were going on in this family.

"Sister-in-law, isn't it about time for Old Seven and the others to come back?"

Li Cuicui paused for a moment and said, "They said they would wait until spring comes, or at least until the snow on the road melts before they leave."

She now really hopes that Lao Qi and the others will come back later. There are a lot of shit going on at home, and there will be a lot more to deal with when he comes back.

"The seventh brother has really made great progress. I guess the future prosperity of our clan depends on him." Gu Shulin sighed.

No one understood better than him that to take the imperial examination, in addition to diligence and talent, one also needed sufficient financial support.

Now it seems that Gu Wenheng has all these qualities, and success is only a matter of time.

Li Cuicui smiled stiffly, "His uncle really thinks highly of him, but he is just a scholar and doesn't dare to take such a big responsibility."

Gu Shulin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, just wait and enjoy your life in the future!"

Li Cuicui waved her hand, picked up the hoe, and walked away without looking back. Her life had become like this now, so how could she dare to think about happiness?

Gu Wenheng directed everyone to pile things into the carriage one by one.

On this trip back, in addition to the carriage he and Jin Qianqian took, there were two large carts loaded with goods, not to mention that the servants had ordered four or five more.

With this calculation, the lineup has expanded several times.

Butler Fu once again grabbed the servants guarding the yard and repeatedly instructed them that there was a young steward whom he had just promoted, who was not only responsible for the daily maintenance of the yard, but also for the manor that had been purchased before.

"Madam," Qingmei came running over, "Mrs. Song is at the gate."

Jin Qianqian, "She's the only one?"

Qingmei, "There is a strange young man following her."

Jin Qianqian, "Have someone bring him in!"

Jin Qianqian rubbed her forehead with a headache. What was Song Xiuniang trying to say when she knelt down in front of him as soon as they met?

"Aunt Qi, please go check on Le's family. He is too sick to get out of bed."

Jin Qianqian, "If you are sick, call a doctor. I don't know how to treat illnesses."

"This," Song Xiuniang didn't expect the other party to be so unconventional, "You are his relatives here, I'm really worried that something might happen to him, so I can only ask you to go over and take a look."

"Very sick? What does the doctor say?"

Xiuniang hesitated for a long time before she said, "I woke up this morning with a fever all over my body. Haven't you called a doctor yet?"

Jin Qianqian looked at her like she was a fool, "Then you shouldn't have come to me. Go find a doctor right away, or the fever will overheat and make you stupid."

Unexpectedly, Jin Qianqian didn't respond and could only say angrily, "You should go over and take a look. If anything happens, it will be too late by then."

Jin Qianqian said to Qingmei beside her, "Ask Hong Tianbao to take two people over to take a look. If the patient is really seriously ill, ask them to help Madam Song carry him to the clinic. If we are delayed, it will be too late to regret it later."

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Song Xiuniang was anxious. It took a whole day to prepare for this, so what was the point of sending a few servants?

"It would be useless for me to go. If anyone really needs help, it has to be the young and strong guy." Jin Qianqian spread her hands and said very modestly, "Look at my small arms and legs. It's already good enough that I don't cause trouble."

Having said that, she turned and left. As for those who were willing to kneel, they could continue to kneel.

"How can you be so cold-blooded? My sister has already knelt down to beg you." The young boy who had been standing next to her with cold eyes since he came in finally couldn't help but speak.

Jin Qianqian ignored him and said directly to the housekeeper Fu who was walking over, "Inform the concierge not to let in any random people in the future. They don't even introduce themselves when they get here. What kind of person is that?"

The young boy had probably never been ridiculed like this before, and his face immediately turned red. "You, you, you are simply rich and unkind."

Jin Qianqian turned her head and stared at him. "If you have no knowledge, then stop quoting words everywhere. This is not how you use the phrase 'rich but unkind'. You are such a naive child."

The young boy stood there awkwardly. He knew that the words had bad intentions, but he couldn't say anything. He could only watch the other person walk into the door with hatred. The girl who followed him in closed the door behind her.

"Brother, forget it. We can't win the argument with her." Xiuniang stood up and pulled him, ready to take her away.

"Sister, is this the end of it?"

"Forget it?" Xiuniang repeated, "I thought Jin would be thick-skinned and would soften her heart if I begged her.

Since this path doesn't work for her, we can only go find the real boss. I don't believe that he can just ignore his own nephew when he is facing life and death."

"But there's really no problem with my brother-in-law," Song Xiaodi hesitated, "It's not like what she just said, it won't burn people stupid."

"She has already said that she is not a doctor. She is just trying to scare us." Xiuniang aimed at the study room where they came last time and wanted to rush there with her men.

At this time, Butler Fu led people to block their way, "Tianbao and the others are ready, please come in!"

It was only then that the Song siblings discovered that the housekeeper was followed by two big men and the familiar Hong Tianbao.

"We still have something to ask Uncle Seven."

Jiang Zhongfu refused to give in. "Our young master is not at home right now. We can't afford to delay the treatment of the young master of the Le family. If something really happens, it will be hard for everyone to explain."

Without giving the two siblings time to think, Hong Tianbao brought two servants and stood beside them, one on the left and one on the right.

Seeing that they didn't move at all, Hong Tianbao grabbed Song Xiaodi by the back of the collar and dragged him towards the small courtyard.

"It's not over there," Song's face flushed and his voice trembled.

"Where is that?"

Brother Song pointed in a direction and Hong Tianbao followed his instructions, turning left and right and coming to a narrow and crowded alley.

When they reached a corner door, Song Xiaodi stopped and asked, "Isn't the young master of the Le family living in the house that our young master rented before?"

"We can't even make ends meet, how can we live in such a nice yard?" Xiuniang said embarrassedly, "Someone wants to rent the yard, so we can rent it out, at least we will have some living expenses."

Hong Tianbao felt sorry for his master. What was going on?

But now is not the time to think about these things. She has not forgotten the purpose of her visit. He let go of Little Brother Song, pushed open the door and walked in. The musty smell that hit his nose made him raise his hand to cover his nose.
