Chapter 300 301. Being Involved
Xu Nuo saw that none of these could scare the other party, and looked anxiously towards the direction they were coming from. Why hadn't Sanhua, Dazhuang and the others arrived yet? If he had known, he would have waited for them before leaving together.
She looked around and saw a piece of clothes sticking out from under the willow tree. She didn't care about anything and rushed over.
Gu Lehuan was still hesitating whether to go out or not, but unexpectedly someone ran in front of him.
When their eyes met, Xu Nuo recognized Gu Lehuan, the girl he had dated before, and a look of surprise flashed across his face, "My husband, you are here."
"Husband? You stinky woman, how dare you lie to me? Do you think you can just grab someone from the street?" She laughed and said, "I want to see who your so-called husband is."
Gu Lehuan knew that he was involved this time, and stood in front of Xu Nuo helplessly, "Miss Xu, I have been waiting for you here for a long time, why are you here only now?"
Xu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief. "I ran into this Li Laizi on the way and chatted with him for a while. You've been waiting here for a long time. Let's go back!"
When Li Laizi heard Gu Lehuan's address, he knew that the two really knew each other. He wanted to say some harsh words, but seeing that the other party was two heads taller and a lot stronger, he felt a little scared.
He secretly hated that the duck he had caught was about to fly away. He bravely said, "You adulterers, Xu Nuo, have you forgotten that you are still in mourning? How can you not hold back so soon and find a lover?"
Xu Nuo said, "You don't know what you are talking about. This is the husband my mother arranged for me when she was still alive. I'd like the matchmaker to help me make the decision."
Li Laizi knew that his plan for today had failed. He glared at Gu Lehuan fiercely and then left cursing.
Xu Nuo smiled awkwardly, "Gu..."
"Gu Lehuan," Gu Lehuan guessed that she definitely didn't remember her name, and said in a light tone.
"Gu Lehuan, thank you so much for what you did just now, otherwise I really don't know what to do?" Xu Nuo said as he distanced themselves from each other.
Seeing this defensive look, Gu Lehuan had no interest in continuing the conversation. He felt that he was forced to do a good thing today. He nodded at the other party and was about to turn around and leave when he was stopped unexpectedly.
"Gu Lehuan, I'll go with you." Seeing Li Laizi still wandering not far away, Xu Nuo dared not stay here alone.
Gu Lehuan did not refuse and walked silently in front.
"Well, I'm really sorry about what happened before. My mother is gone and I wanted to observe mourning for her. In order not to delay you, I asked the matchmaker to go on that trip."
Gu Lehuan shook his head. "Actually, I should thank you. I didn't do anything, but I got ten taels of silver for nothing. This is our profit."
Xu Nuo, "Then are you still going to marry into the family now?"
Gu Lehuan looked at her and refused to speak again. He took her to the downtown area and left directly through an alley.
Xu Nuo touched his ears and thought, it seems like he didn’t say anything.

Gaoling Village
Early in the morning that day, after everyone had finished breakfast, those who worked in the tofu workshop were about to go out when they heard the sound of gongs and drums.
"What good news can come up so early in the morning?" Liang Xiaojun put down the bowl and turned to leave the kitchen.
"I guess the Gu brothers are up to something again. Don't just stand here and watch the fun. Drive the donkey cart out quickly. We still have to deliver goods." Liang Mugen was afraid that his son would be lazy again during this break, so he hurried to the backyard to help him lead the donkey out.
"Hurry, hurry, go and take a look. It seems that the yamen runners are here again." Liu Heizi trotted all the way. Their house was quite high, so they could see the village entrance at a glance.
"It's the sound of gongs and drums again. The last time it seemed like Gu Laoqi passed the imperial examination. Could this time be someone who passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi?" The wooden stick that Liang Xiaojun used to pick his teeth fell directly to the ground. When he came to his senses, he had already arrived outside the yard.
"Dad, don't rush to lead the donkey. I'll go over and take a look."
By the time they ran to the village entrance, Gu Wenheng's yard was already surrounded by people.
Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Liang Xiaojun walked over and asked, "What are you doing? Did the ancient No. 7 High School become a Jinshi?"
Gu Mingdong rolled his eyes at him, then smiled and said smugly, "What Jinshi? It's the top scholar. Do you know the top scholar? It's from our Gu family."
“…”
The new magistrate Xia Chenglin was constantly congratulating the old clan leaders Gu Sanbu and Gu Dashi.
Although he was also a Jinshi, there was a huge difference between him and the Jinshi and the top scholar.
Not to mention that their starting point is higher than mine, their future prospects are beyond my reach.
"This number one scholar will return home in a few days. I will come to congratulate him again later." Xia Chenglin also knew that his presence made everyone uncomfortable, so he asked to leave after sitting for a while.
Gu Sanbu led all the tribesmen and respectfully escorted the people to the village entrance. After the people left, he trembled and grabbed Gu Shulin, "Our Gu family has finally made a name for itself."
Everyone was excited because they were also from Zhuangyuan Village.
In the past, whenever they went out, everyone would mention the ancient Juren, and in the future everyone would say they were the ancient No. 1 Scholar.
Everyone was so excited that no one noticed that Li Cuicui was sitting on the stool in a daze and she hadn't come back to her senses until then.
Hong Daya held her belly, looked at her and whispered, "Mom, what are you thinking about?"
"I was wondering how the Wenquxing in the sky could be reborn in my belly? Did I do something good in my previous life?" Li Cuicui licked her lips, "My life is worth it."
Hong Daya didn't expect that her brother-in-law was so capable. He was the top scholar, the goal of many scholars.
She touched her belly, hoping that this baby would also be a boy, and would be like his seventh uncle in the future.
I guess all mothers have had this thought, but by the time the baby is born, the script of his life has already been written, and mothers can’t interfere at all.
Gu Yuanjin is no longer the timid and penniless boss. He waved his hand and asked his butler to go into the city to make some purchases. The buffet has been arranged before Gu Wenheng comes back.
The other brothers were no less eager and sent people to the town to buy a large amount of cloth so that everyone would be dressed in new clothes and add to the festive atmosphere before the number one scholar returned to the village.
Such a generous gesture also motivated all the villagers. Without the village chief asking anyone, they spontaneously brought farm tools from their homes, cleared the weeds along the road, and cleaned the areas in front of and behind their houses.
"This is how the Gu family should be," Gu Sanbu walked in the village with a cane. He never expected that he would see the Gu family prosper in his lifetime.
Seeing that Gu Dashi was surrounded by several nearby village chiefs, Gu Sanbu slowly approached with the help of his crutches.
"Grandpa, can you talk to the top scholar? Let the children from the nearby villages come and study here."
"Yes! At least let everyone share in the good news. I dare not say that he won the first place in the imperial examination, but even if he won the title of a scholar or a juren, it would be fine."
