Chapter 134 He Won't Fall Into the Trap
Chen Qinian...
Dare you!
If he goes back, he won't be able to leave unless he gets married.
He finally got out, so he won't fall into the trap!
Seeing Chen Qinian lower his head, Gu Xiaoxi just thought he was joking and didn't continue the topic.
After dinner, Chen Qinian followed Gu Nanming to prepare the tofu. Xue was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Chai was also busy in the kitchen.
Seeing that Chen Qinian was gone, Xue asked the question in her heart: "Xiaoxi, one thousand taels of silver can buy a lot of things. Why didn't you make an offer at that time?"
"Sister-in-law, you can't just look at the immediate benefits. Think about it, weren't we bullied when we first started doing business?" Gu Xiaoxi didn't explain it clearly when she saw her mother in the kitchen.
When Xue heard Xiaoxi mention this, she nodded in understanding.
"It was Chen Qinian who later resolved this matter for us. Otherwise, do you think Tan Youcai would be so honest as to not cause us any trouble?
The owners of other stalls are also eyeing our business covetously because they see that our business is so good.
The reason they didn't dare to touch us was because Chen Qinian was backing us up." Gu Xiaoxi explained the situation to her sister-in-law to prevent her from having any messy thoughts.
Although Xue was jealous of the one thousand taels of silver, she also felt that her sister-in-law was right.
If they don't have a backer, they will always be bullied. Not only will they have to pay for it, but their husbands and brothers-in-law will also be beaten.
Seeing that the eldest sister-in-law understood the importance of this, Gu Xiaoxi smiled and said, "It's just one thousand taels of silver. If we do a good job in business, we can still do it."
"Xiaoxi is right. Nowadays, no matter where you are, you can't get by without a backer." After hearing what Xiaoxi said, Chai naturally agreed.
"Yes, you need a backer." Xue agreed clearly.
After Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, she stood up and left the kitchen.
After a busy day, she also has to talk to her daughter and son and tell them stories. She cannot alienate them because of business.
…
The next morning, Gu Xiaoxi called his third brother and they went to the next mountain.
Gu Nanming found the place where they found the blind bear, pointed to a trap over there and said, "This is a trap made by Uncle Sixteen. I didn't expect that the blind bear was so smart and didn't fall into it."
"Third brother, some wild animals are very smart. You must be careful when you go up the mountain." Gu Xiaoxi felt that it was an instinct of the wild animals.
Perhaps the blind bear had been injured by a hunter before, so he was on guard and that's why he was so smart.
"I understand." Gu Nanming nodded.
"Let's go back. You know this is the area where blind bears live. Don't come here again." Gu Xiaoxi instructed his third brother.
"My uncle said that next time we go hunting, we should go in another direction, or go to the mountains behind. The mountains behind are all ownerless." Gu Nanming pointed to the mountains behind.
The mountains behind are probably even deeper and more unfathomable. Judging from the current situation, if it gets colder, the bark of the trees will be gnawed. I wonder if anyone will go in?
Gu Xiaoxi felt that she should go in and investigate while she had time, so that her uncle and the others wouldn't suffer any harm.
She looked around and felt that now was not the time to take action, so she took her third brother down the mountain.
After coming down the mountain, they returned home. Gu Nanming continued to make tofu, while Gu Xiaoxi took inventory to see what other ingredients were needed.
Finding that some were missing, she decided to go to the city to have a look.
Chen Qinian and Chen San came in a carriage, and she asked Chen San to accompany her.
Chen San was naturally happy to do so. If Chen Qinian's current situation was not special, he would have been more willing to go with Gu Xiaoxi.
After Gu Xiaoxi went to the city, she went to the government office first and asked Chen San to inquire about where Mo was imprisoned. She had to go and see that restless woman.
Chen San obediently entered the yamen and came out after a while.
"Did you find the place so quickly?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.
"Miss Xiaoxi, that Mo family member has been exiled." Chen San told Miss Xiaoxi the news he had heard.
exile!
Gu Xiaoxi frowned after hearing this.
Why was he suddenly exiled?
Chen San also felt a little strange, but this was all he had learned just now.
"How about I go find someone to ask about the situation," he suggested.
"Then thank you for your help." Gu Xiaoxi nodded.
"Miss Xiaoxi, you are too polite. Please wait a moment. I will be back soon." After saying that, Chen San turned around and ran into the yamen.
At this time, County Magistrate Ma's beloved daughter, Ma Weiwei, was about to go to the yamen angrily, but she saw Chen Qinian's carriage on the side of the road.
"Miss, that is the young master's carriage." The maid Min'er also recognized the owner of the carriage at a glance.
Seeing that the maid also recognized that it was Chen Qinian's carriage, Ma Weiwei walked towards Gu Xiaoxi angrily.
Gu Xiaoxi saw the beautiful girl suddenly appear in front of the carriage and looked at her in confusion.
"Tell me, what is your relationship with Chen Qinian? How come you are sitting in his carriage?" Ma Weiwei asked domineeringly.
Gu Xiaoxi looked the little girl up and down. The girl was very pretty, with fair skin, big black eyes, and her cheeks puffed up in anger, like a little goldfish.
Seeing Gu Xiaoxi staring at her without saying anything, Ma Weiwei suddenly changed her attitude and asked pitifully, "Sister, do you know where Chen Qinian is? Woohoo... He's my fiancé, and I can't find him."
"Are you the wife that Mr. Chen told Qinian about?" Gu Xiaoxi asked the question in her heart.
Um!
Ma Weiwei nodded. "Sister, Qinian and I are childhood sweethearts. Please help us get together."
"Childhood sweethearts? Isn't your father the county magistrate here? Aren't you from here?" Gu Xiaoxi was full of curiosity.
She remembered Chen Qinian saying that he was not born and raised here, but came here by doing business with Mr. Chen.
"Of course not. My dad, my dad... I can't say much about my dad, but I really didn't lie to you. Qinian and I are really childhood sweethearts." Ma Weiwei raised one hand in the air as she spoke, obviously swearing not to lie.
"I believe it, I believe it." Gu Xiaoxi took Ma Weiwei's hand. Seeing the girl's frankness, she said, "A forced melon is not sweet. If you want to marry him, it's best to make him like you first.
Otherwise, even if you marry him, your future life will not be easy."
Ma Weiwei looked at her sister in front of her and lowered her head sadly.
"We can't find anyone now, and it's impossible to develop feelings. Miss, please help our young lady. Our young lady followed her young master here from the imperial capital." Min'er said depressedly.
It turned out that this county magistrate came from the imperial capital. No one knew what he had done wrong, but he was demoted to this remote place.
Gu Xiaoxi felt that this matter was not difficult to resolve, but she didn't know if Chen Qinian could handle it?
