Chapter 172 173. Unlike
Gu Lejia stood at the door hesitating. It was a rare day off for his Seventh Uncle to stay at home, so he thought of bringing Song Xiuniang over. Maybe then his Seventh Uncle would not object anymore.
Unexpectedly, just as she reached the door, Song Xiuniang retreated instead, "It's not good to come here like this."
She couldn't tell what was wrong, but she felt that accompanying Gu Le's family back alone was against both ethics and reason.
"I want my seventh uncle to see your good side, so that he won't object to helping us." Gu Lejia once again tried to persuade Xiuniang, while encouraging himself at the same time.
"Why don't we just forget it?" Xiuniang knew her own background. She showed kindness to the Gu Le family only because she thought that they were the servants brought back by Chen Dongjia and had no family members involved, so the resistance would be much smaller.
But she really didn't expect that this uncle who suddenly appeared could live in such a big house and have servants. He looked not simple at all, so she backed off.
Gu Lejia, "No matter what? Now that I'm here, I have to give it a try, otherwise I won't have any money to give to your stepmother."
Song Xiuniang was also having a headache now. If she had known not to tease this fool, now people around them would think that they were having an affair. This made her feel awkward. "Why don't we just forget it? Actually, your uncle is doing this for your own good. After all, I am a widow. Your elders must want you to marry a girl from an innocent family."
Gu Lejia, "You also said that he is just my uncle, and my parents should decide my marriage. Now that my parents are not here, naturally I have the final say."
Gu Wenheng really didn't want the people around him to continue laughing at him, so he coughed twice, causing the two people who were still immersed in their own thoughts to suddenly turn around and look at them.
"Uncle Qi, Aunt Qi," Gu Lejia looked around with a guilty look in his eyes, "You are not at home?"
Jin Qianqian: "..." Isn't this obvious enough?
Jin Qianqian was thinking in her heart, but she didn't forget to secretly look at the girl next to him.
Wearing plain clothes, he looked very clean.
Especially when she saw the little white flower pinned in her hair, Jin Qianqian couldn't help but frown slightly. Even if she was not a native of the ancients, she at least understood the interpersonal relationships.
Wearing mourning clothes like this may make her look more pitiful, but it is too inappropriate to go out to meet the boy's parents.
But her facial features are quite good looking. Although her skin color is a little dark, her delicate features give her some points.
"You didn't go to work today?" Gu Wenheng only looked at Gu Lejia. Although this guy lived at home these days, he went to Chen Dong's house on time every day to help, saying that he wanted to earn some wages to take home.
"I asked for leave from my boss today, Uncle Seven..."
"I didn't expect that Wen Heng already has such a big nephew." Deng Yuanhang suddenly interrupted, walked over and looked Gu Lejia up and down, "But he doesn't look like one, is he really a biological nephew?"
Gu Wenheng elbowed him, and the seafood in his hand got onto his clothes, which made Deng Yuanhang so angry that he jumped away, screaming.
"A gentleman uses words, not fists. Don't you know what you have in your hand? I think you are taking this opportunity to take revenge. Besides, I didn't say anything. It's unacceptable for you to treat your brother like this." Deng Yuanhang waited until he was sure that the distance was safe, then quickly checked his robe.
"It's over. I just put on this robe not long ago, and it's already stained with the smell of the sea. You have to compensate me with a new one."
Gu Wenheng carried the things and walked towards the gate with Jin Qianqian. "We don't have any new ones, but I can give you a piece of soap. You can go back and wash yourself."
When Deng Yuanhang heard that there was a bargain to be had, he immediately came to his senses. He didn't care about his uncle and nephew and quickly followed him. "That's a deal, but one piece is too little. With such a strong smell, it will take at least two or three pieces to get rid of it."
Gu Wenheng didn't even turn his head, "You think too highly of your height and body shape. Do you think it can be used?"
Deng Yuanhang: "..." It sounds like there's nothing wrong with this, so what's wrong with going there?
Gu Lejia, who was forgotten outside the door, and Xiuniang, who was standing awkwardly beside him, "..."
As soon as he entered the house, Hong Da, who was guarding the door, immediately took the seafood from Gu Wenheng's hand.
"Have you found a buyer for your soap?" Deng Yuanhang had already arrived at the reception room, slumped in a chair without any image. "In fact, we often cooperate with some merchants. Do you want me to introduce a few to you?"
Gu Wenheng, "I don't need it for now. If there is a need for it in the future, I will trouble you to help me."
Deng Yuanhang nodded, "But your thing is really amazing. I asked my subordinates to wash clothes, and not only were many stains completely clean, but it also had a light fragrance. I heard from my subordinates that this thing can prevent clothes from being damaged easily. I have asked several times and want to see where you bought this thing.
If the price is not too high, every household will have it ready.”
If it weren’t for his fellow disciples, Deng Yuanhang didn’t know if he could hold back and not reach out.
Gu Wenheng naturally knew the future of these consumables and had already made plans in mind. He was already planning to find a dealer in the afternoon to buy a few more of them so that he could set up a small workshop first.
Jin Qianqian has not been idle these days. The storage room in the backyard is already filled with the raw materials she needs. As long as people arrive, she can get started.
"It will be soon, but it's not easy to take leave during this period of time in the academy. My wife is taking care of many things. When things are clear, I will be the first to notify you." Although Deng Yuanhang also has his own little thoughts, after such a long time of getting along, Gu Wenheng can still trust his character.
"Was that really your nephew outside just now?" Deng Yuanhang was always so curious.
Gu Wenheng, "He is my eldest brother's youngest son. He got lost when he was fleeing from famine last time. I didn't expect him to end up here."
Deng Yuanhang didn't see Jin Qianqian here, and couldn't help but tease her, "To be honest, she doesn't look like her at all.
I guess you are the best-looking one in your family. Even the daughter of the prefect couldn't forget your appearance. It was because I was too self-righteous last time that I took you on a run at night. If I hadn't run away, maybe I could have seen a good show."
Gu Wenheng glared at him and said, "Don't make trouble for me here. Lu Ping also said that you are the first choice of son-in-law for Prefect Xiao. People like me are not even worth their attention."
From childhood to adulthood, Gu Wenheng has met too many people like this and never took them to heart.
Jin Qianqian, Xiaohua and Huang Pozi started to get busy in the kitchen.
I don't know when Gu Lejia entered the yard, and he came in with his men.
