Horse-drawn carriages rarely enter Sanchakou Village, so the arrival of the Zhou family's carriage attracted a large crowd.
Many people in the villages surrounding Zhoujia Town recognize the Zhou family's horse-drawn carriages, and the patriarch of the Zhou family owns land in almost every village.
The coachman was Jixiang. He asked for directions and said he was going to Gu's house.
The villagers gave them directions.
In fact, Lu Zheng had already asked once when he rode here on horseback last time, but he did not mention to his maternal grandfather that he had been to Sanchakou Village.
Therefore, neither Jixiang nor the butler sitting with Lu Zheng in the car knew that their young master knew the way.
To get to Gu Xin's house from the village, you have to pass by the old Gu family house first, which is exactly what the villagers were referring to.
The villagers all felt that, given Gu Shouxin's gambling and drinking nature, the Zhou family patriarch wouldn't send someone specifically to find him, unless it was to collect debts.
"Young Master, Second Steward, the Gu family has arrived!" Jixiang parked the car at the entrance of the old mansion and saw Gu Shouli coming out. He asked a question and then turned around to call for people.
Gu Shouli did not leave immediately, but looked at the carriage with a puzzled expression.
He also recognized the Zhou family's carriage.
The second steward came out first, followed by Lu Zheng.
"May I ask who this is...?"
"I am the second steward of the Zhou family, surnamed He. This is our young master."
Butler He explained.
"Is there something you two want to discuss at my home?" Gu Shouli asked.
“We’d like to find Gu Shouxin,” said Butler He.
"My second brother? I wonder what business Steward He and Young Master Zhou have with my second brother?" Gu Shouli was alarmed. Could it be that his second brother had offended the Zhou family?
"There is something we need to discuss in person," Butler He said, seeing that Lu Zheng had no intention of speaking.
“Let’s talk in person! I’m sorry, but my second brother isn’t home. He’s gone out,” Gu Shouli said.
"What about the rest of your second brother's family?" Lu Zheng asked.
Gu Shouli looked at Lu Zheng, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
He wasn't sure if it was because his second brother had offended the young master of the Zhou family that they were coming to cause trouble.
The Zhou family patriarch is indeed a good man, but who knows what the younger generation is like?
The commotion outside was heard by the people in the courtyard, and Gu Xianglan came out.
"What's going on?" Gu Xianglan glanced at Lu Zheng and Butler He, then asked her son.
“Mother, they are the young master and steward of the Zhou family, looking for Second Brother. I have already told them that Second Brother has gone out,” Gu Shouli said.
“Young Master Zhou, Steward He, my second son and his family have all gone out. If you have any urgent business, you can tell me. If not, you can come back the next day!” Gu Xianglan said.
“It’s nothing urgent, but my maternal grandfather wants to use some land under Gu Shouxin’s name to talk to him,” Lu Zheng said.
"Land? Master Zhou still needs land?" Gu Xianglan asked in confusion.
"Hmm." Lu Zheng didn't offer any further explanation.
"I'm sorry, although our Gu family has separated the second branch, the land hasn't been allocated. Gu Shouxin doesn't have any land yet," Gu Xianglan said expressionlessly.
Lu Zheng's eyes flickered.
Gu Xianglan had a gut feeling that this young master wasn't here to discuss land.
"Oh, then I've disturbed you!" Lu Zheng cupped his hands in greeting, turned around, and got into the carriage.
Butler He and Jixiang couldn't understand what their young master was doing, so they could only follow along.
"Mother, what are they doing? Even if Second Brother gets his share of land, he'll only get five or six mu. Does the Zhou family need those five or six mu?" Gu Shouli asked, puzzled.
