Because Prince Kang and Duke Chengen were so drunk the night before, their departure, which was supposed to be in the early morning, was delayed until the afternoon.
Before leaving, Prince Kang and Duke Chengen secretly told Uncle Gu to find Grandma Xiao to make some hangover medicine, the kind you drink before drinking alcohol, and then go drink with Duke Zhenguo, making sure to get revenge.
Uncle Gu said he would definitely complete the task and make the guy surnamed Lu pay.
And so, the Kang family of four, along with the Duke of Chengen and his wife, left the capital.
Princess Jinghe was returning to Kunzhou, while the Crown Prince of Kang thought it would be fun and wanted to go with his parents.
The Duke and Duchess Chengen entrusted everything in the household to Xue Qianyu and Gu Nian with complete trust, and went off to have fun without any worries.
After seeing the person off, on the way back, Gu Xin walked beside Uncle Gu and said, "Uncle, Uncle, do you want to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk?"
Uncle Gu nodded: "Xin Xin, go ask Aunt Xiao if she has any hangover remedies to take before drinking. If you learn how, can you make some for your uncle?"
Gu Xin: "No. There's only hangover soup to drink after drinking alcohol. Uncle, let me tell you, Uncle Lu is just as good at drinking as Yuanyuan, you can't outdrink him."
Uncle Gu glared at her: "Hey, you brat, you're not even married yet! Why are you taking other people's sides? Saying that will hurt your uncle's feelings!"
Gu Xin chuckled: "Uncle, I'm not speaking up for someone, I'm just stating the facts. If you want to beat him, or see him make a fool of himself, I have a way."
Uncle Gu's eyes lit up: "What's the solution? Teach me!"
Gu Xin said, "Uncle, you tell me first. Do people say that the Duke of Zhenguo is gentle, modest, and a true gentleman? When he was young, he was like an immortal who was not detached from worldly affairs. Now that he is old, his temperament is even better."
Uncle Gu: "Pah! That's just him pretending, trying to fool people. He's just a hypocrite!"
Gu Xin patted Uncle Gu on the back: "Uncle, Uncle, don't be angry, don't be angry. Let me continue! When we want to outdo each other, we can't compare our weaknesses to each other's strengths; we have to compare our strengths to each other's weaknesses. It's not that you can't hold your liquor, Uncle; you can hold your liquor very well among ordinary people. But Uncle Lu is like my dad; he can't get drunk. So, there's no way to compare them. What skill do you have that you're good at? You're good at farming! Uncle, you can invite Uncle Lu to have a farming competition. It's the first month of the lunar year now, and after the fifteenth, we'll gradually start working in the fields. You can invite him to join us. He said he'd retire after the fifteenth, so he'll have some free time. You can compete with him in this area and let him know that there are things he can't do."
Uncle Gu stroked his chin and thought about it, and felt that this idea was good, very good.
That guy surnamed Lu has definitely never worked in the fields before. Hmph, let's make him work in the fields and wear him down for a while. People who have never done farm work will definitely not be able to stand it for the first few days.
Yes, then we won't need to worry about the fertilizer we've made. We'll just have that guy surnamed Lu go to the latrine to fetch manure. If he loses his balance, the manure bucket will tip over, hahahahaha...
Uncle Gu was very happy just thinking about this scene.
Gu Hui said quietly from the side, "Dad, what are you thinking about that makes you so happy? You're only thinking about how he embarrassed himself. Have you considered whether Uncle Lu will go with you? He's a Duke, why would he go to the fields with you for no reason?"
