Chapter 255 Xiao Xie acts as a matchmaker
Soon, the two arrived at the farm.
Xie Huaiguang often came to see Gu Zilu, also wanting to see the increase in grain production with his own eyes.
This is not only for Xie Huaiguang's future, but more importantly, it means that he can have enough food to eat. Even from a larger political perspective, it will be an earth-shaking event.
Xie Huaiguang's face was stern and expressionless, but he took this matter more seriously than anyone else.
This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people.
"Brother Lu is here!"
Tian Erniu ran over happily, handed over the recorded data, brought tea and a fan.
Xie Huaiguang looked at Tian Erniu who was serving him attentively and couldn't help but joked: "The young masters in the capital have all started having sex before they get married. I think Erniu is pretty good, why don't you take her in, Zilu?"
Gu Zilu's face turned red. After all, he was just a young man who only knew how to study. Even though he was smart and precocious, this had nothing to do with matters between men and women.
Tian Erniu stuck out her tongue and made faces, cursing: "You are the top scholar. Brother Lu promised that our Tian family would no longer have to work like slaves. But you are not even willing to work, and you still force me to work like a slave. I won't do it. Humph, you are the top scholar, you are just a hypocritical person!"
Tian Erniu's scolding was very sharp, but Xie Huaiguang didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed heartily.
"When it comes to speaking venomously, you have inherited the Sixth Miss's true teachings."
Gu Changqing talked about Miss Su Liu every three sentences.
Tian Erniu couldn't understand what was going on. She was just confused. She had never served the lady before, so how could she be like that?
Gu Zilu, on the other hand, took a deep breath.
Xie Huaiguang's love was genuine, but this man was too shrewd and cunning. She just hoped that he would not use his cunning on her mother. Otherwise, no matter if he was a top scholar in the imperial examination or a shrewd and worldly-wise old fox, he would not let Xie Huaiguang go.
“The seedlings are growing well.”
Gu Zilu nodded and handed the data to Xie Huaiguang: "When the wheat is harvested in June, we will see the results."
It's already the end of March, and there are still more than two months until June. It will pass quickly.
Xie Huaiguang's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth raised. Despite the environment of a tent and the fact that he was only wearing a cotton coat, Xie Huaiguang, against the backdrop of the green wheat seedlings, had bright eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a subtle curve at the corners of his thin lips. Just this face was enough to make everyone in the village forget to work and just stare blankly.
Gu Zilu looked back and saw that everyone had stopped working and were all looking at Xie Huaiguang.
The young man took a deep breath. His friends always said that he was handsome, but still not as good-looking as Xie Zhuangyuan. It could only be said that some people were chosen by God. Apart from being too smart, they had no other shortcomings.
Well, actually being too smart isn’t really a shortcoming. I wonder if liking old ladies is a shortcoming.
Gu Zilu was a little conflicted. After all, he felt that his mother did not have a shortcoming, and Su Jin's existence was an advantage in itself.
"Okay, no problem. It's getting late, let's go back."
Xie Huaiguang was like a worried old father, concerned that his son would come home late.
Gu Zilu pretended not to understand, nodded, stood up and gave Tian Erniu and Tian Laosan some instructions. Just as he was about to leave, Xie Huaiguang said, "Let Tian Daniu go back and live with you. Your mother doesn't need a proper guard."
Gu Zilu: ...
Tian Erniu: ...
This is so strange. Whether the lady needs a proper bodyguard has nothing to do with Lord Xie.
But it is a good suggestion after all. Besides, things on the farm have been stabilized. Although Tian Laosan needs to travel back and forth between the two farms, there is no danger now.
"Um."
Gu Zilu agreed, but he felt a little uncomfortable. After all, Xie Huaiguang really treated him as his own father, huh?
The journey was quiet until they arrived at Su Jin's residence. Xie Huaiguang personally watched Gu Zilu go back, then he nodded and prepared to leave. However, when he turned around, he saw a familiar face. He saw Chen Shaozheng, the third-rank Dali Temple Minister, sitting in a teahouse not far away. Moreover, Lord Chen's eyes were frequently looking towards the gate of Su's residence. It was self-evident who he was waiting for.
Xie Huaiguang was so smart. He knew that this matter was related to Su Jin, so he walked in with a smile and greeted Chen Shaozheng: "Master Chen!"
Chen Shaozheng also smiled and said, "Master Xie, please take a seat. The flower tea here is very good."
Xie Huaiguang didn't hesitate and sat down directly. The waiter served tea and left, leaving the two of them to talk alone.
"Master Chen, do you want to see Miss Su Liu?"
Xie Huiguang hit the nail on the head. Chen Shaozheng neither nodded nor shook his head, but said: "I have seen Lord Xie, and it seems that he has a good relationship with the people in the Su Mansion. You are friends with Miss Su Liu, and you are classmates with Gu Zixuan, who was the top scholar and the third scholar last year. Now you are very close to Gu Zilu. As for Gu Suiyu, he is not opposed to Lord Xie. It seems that Lord Xie has become a guest of honor in the Su Mansion. He is much faster than us old guys."
What Chen Shaozheng said is quite interesting.
When Su Jin and Li left home, no one looked down on her.
Apart from officials like Dou Qin who had connections with the Hexi Su family, who attended the housewarming ceremony and presented some useful gifts, no one else cared at all.
But now?
In just half a year, the attitudes of these indifferent old guys finally changed.
From being indifferent, he now ran to the door of Su Mansion and waited eagerly, just hoping to meet Su Jin once.
As for the reasons, there are many.
Gu Zixuan holds the rank of third-rank general, and there is still room for promotion. This is one reason.
Gu Suiyu married the young master of the Grand Princess's mansion, and the young master now holds the third-rank official rank. It is obvious that the Emperor wants to promote this young master. This is the second reason.
Gu Zilu won the minor third place, and in the future, whether he can win the major third place in the provincial, imperial and palace examinations, he has a promising future.
Su Jin's three children are very competitive. Except for Gu Zixuan who went to the war, the other two left the Marquis' Mansion and lived with Su Jin. It doesn't need any words to tell who these promising young men are closer to. It's clear at a glance.
In addition, Gu Changqing was a rather arrogant person, and when Chen Shaozheng went to act as a matchmaker, it was like he had learned a lesson, which led to Lord Chen directly abandoning the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and turning to Su Jin.
It's a pity that the eldest princess can openly go in and get close to Su Jin and become her best friend. As a man, Chen Shaozheng must avoid suspicion. Otherwise, there will be another scandal in the capital, that the third-rank mansion secretly met with the former mistress of Yong'an Marquis Mansion...
Your circle is so chaotic, it gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Chen Shaozheng pressed his temples and felt better.
He looked at Xie Huaiguang expectantly: "Little Master Xie, are you okay? If you are, are you interested in being a matchmaker, huh?"
