Chapter 450 What Reason Can You Find to Leave?
"Not so fast. There are still some finishing things to do. It would be good if we can leave in ten days." Gu Xiaoxi felt that he might not be able to leave in ten days.
"I'll go with you tomorrow. You can only tell your uncle and aunt about this." Tan Dahe was very clear-headed.
"Second brother, I'll listen to you." Tan Fangfang nodded.
Gu Xiaoxi knew that Tan Dahe was smart, so she didn't say much.
"By the way, when do you plan to tell this to Patriarch Xu? What they are most worried about are the medicinal seedlings in the fields. What should we do about this?" Gu He asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Dad. I'll go there tomorrow. As for the matter of the medicine field, Brother Dahe has already promised to help, so don't worry." Gu Xiaoxi answered his father's question.
Chai asked about Lai Yifeng with concern: "Are you going to tell Lai Yifeng about this?"
"Of course I have to tell her, and I have to tell her in detail." Gu Xiaoxi thought about it and felt that Lai Yifeng and the others should also follow her. After all, they had special identities, and most importantly, they had a very good relationship with her.
"Just make your decision." Patriarch Gu nodded.
Gu Xiaoxi left the room to her father and the others to talk. She left the house and went to the next yard to talk to Yifeng.
Lai Yifeng took his men to learn medical skills from Qiu Shuang and others during the day, and came back to organize the notes at night. He studied very seriously.
When Gu Xiaoxi came in, she saw them fiddling with medicinal herbs in the yard.
She knew Lai Yifeng worked very hard and cherished this opportunity.
"Come here, big brother!" she shouted.
Lai Yifeng looked up at Gu Xiaoxi, put down the herbs in his hand and walked over to him.
"Go into the house, I have something important to tell you." Gu Xiaoxi said and went into the house.
Lai Yifeng saw that Gu Xiaoxi seemed worried these days, so he sent two of his men out to help with some work and asked them to come back later.
The yard was empty and he walked into the house.
Gu Xiaoxi closed the door and told Lai Yifeng the situation straight away.
Lai Yifeng thought he had misheard and stared at Gu Xiaoxi with wide eyes.
"You, you said that my brother-in-law is, is he the second prince?" He felt it necessary to ask more clearly.
"Yes! Are you surprised? Are you excited?" Gu Xiaoxi said lazily.
"It's quite exciting." Lai Yifeng laughed when he said this.
"Do you want to come with us? I can't figure out what Third Master is like. He knows we have a good relationship, so he doesn't want to cause you trouble later." Gu Xiaoxi said.
Lai Yifeng was silent for a moment after listening, and then said, "I have to go back and talk to my men about this."
"You can't tell this to anyone. There are many gossipy people on your mountain, and they might bring you into trouble." Gu Xiaoxi reminded Lai Yifeng.
"Don't worry, I'm not blocked in the head! I'll go back first and tell you as soon as I make a decision." Lai Yifeng said and stood up and walked out of the house.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't expect Lai Yifeng to be so easy to talk to. He agreed before she even tried to persuade him?
When she walked out of the yard, she saw her second brother and Tan Dahe standing at the door.
"Second brother, what happened to Brother Daha?" she asked.
Seeing Gu Xiaoxi coming out, Tan Dahe quickly stepped forward and said, "Xiaoxi, your second brother and I just discussed it, and I can't buy this farm yet.
If you buy it, you will definitely think that I know where you are going?
Why don't you just hang up a sign and take a few days off, then sell the shop to a pawnbroker in town."
Gu Xiaoxi felt that this seemed to be the case. In this case, it made sense for them to disappear suddenly.
"Brother Dahe, what are your plans?" She felt that Tan Dahe was at a disadvantage.
"A few days before you leave, I will go to Yaocheng to do business." Tan Dahe has made a decision.
"Okay, that's decided. I'll have to trouble you with my second sister-in-law." Gu Xiaoxi bowed gratefully.
…
The next morning, everyone was busy with their own things. Gu Ximing, Tan Fangfang, and Tan Dahe returned to the Tan family.
Gu Xiaoxi drove the carriage to the village and found Patriarch Xu to tell him about their move.
Patriarch Xu felt that this matter was too sudden, but since Xiaoxi said there were special circumstances, he didn't know what to say.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already told Brother Dahe about the medicinal herbs, and from now on, your medicinal herbs will remain the same as before.
"If you want to exchange some herbs for planting, talk to him. He's seen a lot of the world and knows what herbs are reasonably priced." Gu Xiaoxi instructed Patriarch Xu.
Patriarch Xu took note of this and looked at Gu Xiaoxi with gratitude: "You are about to leave, but you still remember us, Xiaoxi. If it weren't for you, our village wouldn't be able to live like this."
"Old Patriarch, didn't I tell you that this is just our fate?" After Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, he took out two hundred taels of silver notes and stuffed them into the old patriarch's hand.
"This, this won't do..." Patriarch Xu shook his head repeatedly.
"Listen to me, those people in there will still need your care in the future. Take these and buy them some things when they come out.
They are all honest people and will never let you suffer any loss." Gu Xiaoxi stuffed the banknote into the hands of Patriarch Xu.
When Patriarch Xu heard the reason, he accepted the banknote.
The two talked for a while and had lunch at the home of Patriarch Xu. In the afternoon, Gu Xiaoxi came to Lao Geda's residence.
Lao Geda was a little surprised to hear that Xiaoxi was leaving at this time.
However, he didn't ask anything, and just said, "When do you want to leave? Tell us a day in advance. We'll pack up today and leave when you tell us."
Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment and said, "I'll arrange for you to leave first. If the villagers ask, what excuse can you give for leaving?"
Reasons to leave!
Lao Geda was thinking seriously in his heart.
Aunt Geda thought of a reason: "Xiaoxi, can you find someone to pretend to be my sister?"
"Can you tell me about your sister's background?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.
Aunt Geda thought for a moment and replied, "My sister got lost in the mountains more than ten years ago and hasn't been heard from since. Oh, I have a portrait of my sister."
After she finished speaking, she took out the yellowed portrait from the cabinet and handed the scroll to Gu Xiaoxi for a good look.
Gu Xiaoxi took note of the man's appearance and thought that this method could be useful.
"Okay, let's do as you say. Once you're done packing, I'll ask Asan to bring people over tomorrow. You're more familiar with Asan's voice." She had already explained the matter to them.
"Oh..." Uncle Geda agreed.
After explaining everything to Uncle Geda, Gu Xiaoxi took his men back to the farm.
Although they were moving, they still had to keep the store open during the day and pack up their things after dinner in the evening.
