Chapter 796 798. Ominous Premonition
Li Cuicui felt that Gu Dashi was getting more confused as he got older. As an old man, how could he say such discouraging words? He wondered if he could be more lovable by saying more auspicious words.
"Our Luo Luo has always been taught by the seventh brother himself, and maybe our family will have another top scholar.
If you feel bored, I can find a storyteller to entertain you, but you have to keep your mouth shut. "
Gu Dashi opened his mouth and felt that he was not wrong. If it was so easy to get the title of Jinshi or Zhuangyuan, there wouldn't have been only two Juren and a few Xiucai in his clan in so many years.
Gu Wenheng sat with him for a while until the Gu brothers arrived, and then he left the room.
The brothers haven't seen each other for so many years that they already feel like strangers.
In addition, Gu Wenheng has been in a high position for so many years, and there is an invisible majesty about him that makes them dare not act presumptuously.
Everyone sat together stiffly, and finally Gu Yuanjin, the leader, spoke first, "Wen Heng, you should also take care of your health when you are outside."
Gu Wenheng: "..." Why are all the people focusing on their abdomens? Isn't it normal to gain weight in middle age?
"We are doing well outside. Thanks to you brothers for taking care of the two elderly people at home over the years. You have suffered a lot."
Gu Yuanjin said quickly, "We are all brothers, it would be too polite to say these things. Moreover, the two elders have been supported by you and your sister-in-law over the years. In a sense, we brothers are taking advantage.
You came back so suddenly this time, are you going to be transferred again?"
The Gu family has gotten used to it now. As soon as the three-year term is up, the seventh brother's position will be moved again.
They didn't understand, but there were so many educated people in the clan, and they all said that the reason why the Seventh Brother changed positions so frequently and was steadily promoted was because he had great abilities and was appreciated by the emperor, which allowed him to have such good fortune.
I heard that some people, once they enter officialdom, would work as county magistrates in small places and stay in that position for most of their lives.
Now the entire Gu family can be well-known in Fu County and even Daocheng, all thanks to Gu Wenheng.
Gu Yuanshui, "Isn't it possible that you will be transferred to a remote place again this time? It's a rare trip back home, how long can you stay at home?"
Gu Wenheng naturally wouldn't reveal it at this moment, "It's not certain yet, but I should be able to stay at home for a few days."
Gu Yuanshui, "Then you will stay in the village today, right? Or you can ask someone to clean up the yard. Although it is usually cleaned up, the bedding may not be used. I will ask your sister-in-law and the others to take care of it."
Gu Wenheng also wanted to spend a few days of leisure in the village. "Let's live in the village! I'll ask mom to give the key to the yard to the servants to clean it up later. But you brothers will have to work hard these few days."
He knew that their return would mean trouble, and that many people would come to visit him, and he would not be able to meet them one by one, so he could only ask his brothers to help.
Gu Yuanjin and his team had gained experience over the years and agreed readily.
Jin Qianqian also quickly became friends with her sisters-in-law.
Women's unfamiliarity is easy to break. Give each person a gift and talk about jewelry and clothes, and the topic will be opened up immediately.
In addition, the women now have no conflicts of interest, and the other sisters-in-law want to please Jin Qianqian, so the scene is quite enthusiastic.
"Our Leping's business is now doing so well thanks to you and his seventh uncle's help. I don't know how to thank you." Li Xiaohua grabbed Jin Qianqian's hand and kept expressing her gratitude.
Jin Qianqian, "Le Ping is a smart guy. He has made his way here all by himself. But it's been so long, and he still hasn't found someone?"
As early as in Yi Province, many people had their eyes on Gu Leping and wanted to marry him, but this guy had his own ideas, and later he was busy running around to expand his business, so the marriage was delayed.
Upon hearing this distressing question, Li Xiaohua's brows almost knotted, "I was urging him about this when I came back a few days ago, but he didn't care at all.
You see, his brothers are all married, and I don't know what he thinks. Others of his age already have several children."
When talking about her eldest son, Li Xiaohua felt both proud and anxious. "Besides, Le An is old enough to get married, and it would be inappropriate for his brother to stand in front of him and talk about it."
Jin Qianqian really had no way to help her solve this problem and could only say a few words of comfort. After all, it was indeed a bit unusual for Gu Leping to be in his twenties and still not have a wife or children.
After all, most of my cousins have already started their own families, and even the youngest, Le Shun, has a wife.
"Aunt Seven, my daughter Lehua's marriage is really a difficult matter for me. Can you see if there is anyone suitable? Or can you introduce a family to her?" Hong Daya had always believed that Gu Lebao was a lucky star, so her marriage had been delayed.
She didn't expect that Gu Yuanfeng would set his sights on his own precious daughter and destroy her reputation outside. She had to be anxious.
But when she saw Jin Qianqian and the others coming back today, she knew that her chance had come.
If Lao Qi and his wife were willing to help, Le Bao might be able to marry into a wealthy family.
All of her nephews were born in poor families, but the wives they married were better than the other, and their family backgrounds were higher than the other. Her daughter Lebao was the only two girls in the family, so it was impossible for her to be worse than her other brothers.
Jin Qianqian felt a headache when she heard about matchmaking. So many boys had followed them out before, and she was the one who arranged most of the marriages.
There are really a lot of things involved here. Although some marriages bring some convenience to Gu Wenheng, they also give her a headache.
Even though her two sons still have no one to marry, she has already organized several weddings.
Sometimes she even makes fun of herself, saying that she had already started practicing before she even became a mother-in-law.
"Fifth sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help you, but we just came back and are not as familiar with this place as you are.
Besides, you only have one precious daughter, so you definitely wouldn't want her to marry far away, right?"
Hong Daya hesitated. Several of her nieces-in-law married from far away and many of them settled down here.
Although there were escort agencies to help them deliver the letters, it was extremely difficult to visit a relative.
Her two nieces-in-law have been married for so long and have never returned to their parents' home. The thought of this made her feel a little hesitant.
But she still had to complain a few words, maybe the seventh brother's wife could suppress the eldest sister-in-law.
Jin Qianqian didn't expect that Gu Yuanfeng would really cause trouble again these days.
"There is no such thing as a biological aunt. Not to mention that she longs for her mother's family or favors her mother's family, but she can't think of moving her mother's family to the Shi family.
Not only did she fill in her own two daughters, she even wanted to move her ideas to my daughter, which I cannot tolerate."
Jin Qianqian had a bad feeling, "Why not just marry Chuncao to her stepson? What about Chunya?"
