Chapter 359: Gu Shi’s embarrassing experience that he couldn’t bear to look back on!
It was just as Gu Ting thought.
During dinner in the evening, the old lady praised Gu Ting several times, and Gu Ting was extremely happy.
Qin Zhizhi was a little shocked. It was really a waste of their talents for these important officials of the court to go to the farm to experience picking cotton.
"Uncle, isn't this a bit of a waste of talent?"
"Zhizhi, you don't understand. They are all military commanders. They have plenty of strength and are most suitable for working in the fields."
Qin Zhizhi almost spit out the soup she had just drunk. How come these people became coolies in her uncle's mouth?
Gu Jinghuai was right next to Qin Zhizhi. Knowing that his wife was shocked by her uncle's words, he patted her on the back considerately.
"Speak a little more quietly. You're scaring my precious granddaughter-in-law."
The old lady decided that her son was speaking too loudly and gave Gu Ting a look of disdain.
"Grandma, I'm fine. I choked on the drink by accident. It has nothing to do with uncle."
Qin Zhizhi was afraid that she would implicate her uncle, so she quickly explained to her grandmother.
"Hey, it's okay, uncle, keep your voice down!"
Gu Ting was not angry, and he even lowered his voice deliberately. He also felt that his voice was a little loud just now.
"Zhizhi, you can rest at home tomorrow. Your father and I will go to the farm to supervise their work. I told them when we went to court today that they should arrive early."
Gu Tingjue smiled with a loving face. Qin Zhizhi could only mourn for those ministers in her heart. They finally didn't have to go to court, and now they had to go to the farm to experience picking cotton.
Qin Zhizhi thought they might be crazy. Even if they were strong, picking cotton for a whole day would be unbearable.
Qin Zhizhi felt that after their experience tomorrow, they would definitely not want to go there again.
"Thank you for your hard work, uncle and dad!"
What could Qin Zhizhi say? She was more than happy to have someone work for her. If she liked, she could go every day. She was very welcome.
"It's not that hard. Your father and I don't have much to do anyway, so we can just take them with us. It's free labor, so why not use it?"
Gu Ting felt that this was all free labor, delivered to his doorstep, so he must use it, otherwise they would think that the cotton was blown here by the wind.
"Your uncle is right. You should rest in the mansion for a day and spend some quality time with Nian Nian. Your father and uncle will be at the farm tomorrow."
Although Gu Shi is usually not very serious, he is very happy to help his daughter-in-law with things.
"Just work hard when you get to the farm. If anything comes up, let your elder brother handle it."
The old lady worriedly warned Gu Shi, fearing that he would cause trouble at the farm.
"Mom, I'm not a child anymore!"
Gu Shi felt that his mother didn't trust him enough, as he was a grandfather now.
"Mom remembers that when you were thirteen, you had a fight with General Li and bit his butt!"
As soon as the old lady said this, everyone else tried to hold back their laughter. Qin Zhizhi had never expected that her father-in-law had done such a great feat before.
"Mom, that was so long ago, how come you still remember it!"
Gu Shi felt a little embarrassed by what the old lady said.
"Mother just remembered that Mr. Li is now a general and you might run into him tomorrow, so she's worried you might get into trouble."
The old lady really just wanted to give a reminder and had no intention of exposing her son's shortcomings.
After all, the former Second Young Master Li, now General Li, both cried when he was bitten by his son. Both of them were quite miserable.
Who else can bite someone else's butt except one's own son?
"Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of my second brother."
Gu Ting was afraid that his mother would recall more of his second brother's shameful past, which would make his second brother lose face, so he quickly took over the conversation.
"Well, I'm relieved to have you here!"
Gu Ting felt even more proud with the affirmation from his mother.
"Mom, try this!"
He used serving chopsticks to pick up a dish that Qin Zhizhi had recently researched for the old lady. He liked this dish very much.
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, her face full of kindness.
Qin Zhizhi was really trying hard not to laugh. She secretly glanced at her father-in-law and saw his aggrieved expression. She wondered how he would act coquettishly with her mother-in-law later.
She used to wonder why Gu Jinghuai loved to act like a spoiled child so much, until she came to the capital.
After seeing how her father-in-law and mother-in-law acted like spoiled brats, she was surprised to realize that this might be hereditary.
Who can resist such a handsome face acting coquettishly with you, especially when he is your husband?
On the way back to the yard after dinner, Gu Jinghuai told Qin Zhizhi what happened in the morning court today.
Qin Zhizhi was very surprised. She didn't expect that Lord Chen would recommend her to join the Agricultural Academy.
"Madam, do you blame me for helping you reject Lord Chen's proposal?" Gu Jinghuai asked a little nervously.
"I can't thank my husband enough, how could I blame you? Farming is just my hobby. What I like most is making money!"
Gu Jinghuai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, he understood his wife.
"My wife is so nice!"
When Gu Jinghuai said this, Qin Zhizhi knew that her husband was just acting like a spoiled child.
"You are my husband, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
"Well, then the lady must treat me well for the rest of her life!"
"Okay, I'll be good to my husband for the rest of my life!"
"I will only be good to my wife for the rest of my life!"
Qin Zhizhi used to think her roommates were too affectionate when they were in love. Now that it’s her turn, she feels that if someone truly wants to love, they can’t get enough of being affectionate every day.
"Husband, are you going to the farm tomorrow?"
"Let's go and have a look. After all, it was my uncle who suggested it!"
Gu Jinghuai felt that since it was his uncle who proposed it, he must go and support it.
When he got off duty today, he discussed with Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingyun and decided to go and take a look together.
I heard that the emperor asked the prince to go and experience it tomorrow, so that more people may go.
"Oh, I never thought that one day so many people would go to experience picking cotton. It's really an honor for these cotton plants."
"Look at what you said, it's their honor to be able to experience picking the cotton you planted."
Gu Jinghuai felt that his wife was good in every way and the things she grew were also the best.
Qin Zhizhi laughed out loud when she heard this. Her husband's personality was exactly like her uncle's.
"If other adults heard what you said, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood!"
"It doesn't matter if you hear it. I'm telling the truth. My wife is the best."
"You, can't you be more low-key?"
"My wife is so outstanding, I am too proud to be proud, why should I be so low-key!"
Qin Zhizhi smiled helplessly.
"Let's rest early today and get up early tomorrow!"
"Do you have to get up early?"
"Well, uncle said we should go early!"
"Actually, there's no need to be so early. There's dew in the morning, and your clothes will get wet if you go too early."
"I'll go down to the fields later!"
Gu Jinghuai felt that even if he knew now that he didn't have to get up early, it would be of no use.
"Well, then Nian Nian and I will wait for my husband to come back in the mansion!"
"Okay, spend some quality time with Nian Nian tomorrow. I'll try to get home early."
Gu Jinghuai was used to doing farm work. Although he was not a military general, working in the fields was not difficult for him.
He tried to finish his work as soon as possible and return home to be with his wife and daughter.
