Shen Ningsi didn’t expect that people from Yongle Village would also come.
"Hey, okay, okay!"
The head of Yongle Village did not expect that the county lord Shen Ningsi would be so approachable.
The uneasiness in my heart when I came here has disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Shen Ningsi arranged for him to sit with the head of Wanning Village. Although they were not from the same village, two people of similar age sitting together should have something to talk about.
Moreover, the two villages are not far apart. Seeing that they were talking very enthusiastically after a while, it was obvious that they must have known each other before.
By the time everyone was seated, Shen Ningsi saw that it was already getting late.
Then he walked in front of Gu Hong.
"Sisi, is it going to be the "Grab the One" ceremony soon?"
"Well, you are the child's father after all. Come with me later to prepare the things for their birthday celebration."
"good!"
When Gu Hong heard what Shen Ningsi said, his face showed excitement.
After a while, the two of them went to the study and took out all the things for the baby's one-year-old ceremony.
The two men came to the yard, spread out a large red silk cloth, and placed the things they had prepared on it one by one.
After doing all this, Gu Hong held Kang Kang and Shen Ningsi held An An, and placed the two little guys on the red satin.
When these people saw this scene, they all gathered around and gave the children their blessings.
A smile from the heart also appeared on Shen Ningsi's face.
At this moment, several luxurious-looking carriages arrived outside Wanning Village.
"Sister-in-law, this is Wanning Village ahead!"
The great general guarding the country looked at the village not far away with a smile on his face.
All the fatigue from the days of traveling disappeared without a trace the moment I saw Wanning Village.
As soon as the man finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was slowly lifted, revealing the face of a beautiful woman with lingering charm.
"Brother, have we arrived at Wanning Village?"
After hearing the words of the great general, the woman jumped out of the carriage instantly and landed steadily on the ground.
"Sister-in-law, you're already a grandmother, and you're still so clumsy!"
The great general who defended the country could not help but burst into laughter when he saw his brother and sister-in-law's impatient look.
"Brother, I don't know who killed two horses along the way, just to see his nephew who is about to turn one year old!"
Fang Xiwan couldn't help but roll her eyes at the great general defending the country.
After all these years of getting along, the two of them have become like real siblings.
“Ahem…”
Having his thoughts exposed, Gu Zhen could only cough awkwardly.
"Alright, alright, now that we're in Wanning Village, let's go meet my precious grandchildren!"
Fang Xiwan's face showed excitement again.
What kept her going along the way was the possibility of seeing her grandchildren sooner.
"Okay, last time Hong'er said that his home is at the innermost part of the village."
Seeing that every household in Wanning Village looked dirty and messy, the two elders showed distressed expressions on their faces.
"I never thought, Hong'er, that you would grow up in such an environment. It's really my fault as a mother. If I hadn't..."
"Okay, sister-in-law, let's not talk about the past. You're already a grandmother now, so you can't be as clumsy as before!"
The great general of the country said this with a helpless look on his face.
"Brother, can't I be excited to see my grandson?"
Fang Xiwan looked at the great general with dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, yes. But when you see the children later, don't get too excited or you might scare your daughter-in-law."
Gu Zhen looked at his brother and sister-in-law helplessly.
"I know!"
Thinking that in a while, I will not only see my grandson and granddaughter, but also my daughter-in-law whom I have never met.
Fang Xiwan, a woman with a timid and generous nature, actually started to feel a little nervous at this moment.
"Let's hurry into the village. Maybe we can still make it in time for lunch today."
Fang Xiwan didn't want her embarrassing situation to be seen by the general.
"Yes, yes, yes. The last letter Hong'er sent me said that today is the first birthday of both children!"
Gu Zhen also became nervous at this moment.
Then, Fang Xiwan got back into the carriage and the group quickly entered Wanning Village.
This team of luxurious carriages had just entered Wanning Village when they were discovered by the villagers.
People stood in groups of three or five on the roadside, pointing at the carriage.
"Whose carriage is this? It's so grand! The carriages of the wealthy lords in this town aren't even one tenth as luxurious as this!"
When the villagers saw the carriage, they all showed envy and jealousy on their faces, but they also knew that the person sitting in the carriage was either rich or noble, and was not someone they, the small villagers, could afford to offend.
So everyone stood on the side of the road and watched.
"Big brother, may I ask where Gu Hong's home is?"
Gu Zhen searched the village but did not find the house that Gu Hong mentioned.
"Are you Gu Hong's family? Are you from the capital?"
When the villagers heard them asking this, they had already guessed the identity of this group of people.
"Yes, fellow villager, I'm Uncle Gu Hong. I heard that my nephews and grandnephews are turning one today, so I came all the way from the capital!"
Gu Zhen didn't know about the feud between Gu Hong and the villagers of Wanning Village, so he revealed his identity without hesitation.
"Oh, you really are from the capital!"
The Wanning villager who was asked showed a look of shock on his face. He knew that Gu Hong was the nephew of the great general who defended the country.
But I don’t know how high a position the General Guarding the Country holds.
After a while, Gu Zhen stood in front of him and looked very majestic.
"Their home is in that row of large houses on the east side of the village. But the daughter-in-law of the Gu Hong family is not someone to be trifled with. She's only been here a short time, and she's already offended everyone in the village!"
Now that they knew the identities of these people, they didn't mind giving Shen Ningsi some eye drops.
How could this woman from another place rise to prominence and become a phoenix, and act so arrogantly in front of them? Why were so many ways to make money not given to them but to people from other villages?
Speaking of this, the villagers of Wanning Village became even more dissatisfied.
Do you know that these dignitaries in the capital have a lot of twists and turns in their minds? If they knew that Shen Ningsi was not an easy person to get along with, what would happen even if she gave birth to a grandson for the Gu family?
Even if I acknowledge her now, I don’t know how I’ll deal with her when I bring her to the capital in the future.
When the other villagers heard him say this, they all showed a hint of maliciousness on their faces.
Then everyone started talking one after another, and some even exaggerated the situation, saying that Shen Ningsi was worthless and full of evil!
She is simply the best synonym for the word shrew.
In the carriage, Fang Xiwan heard the villagers talking about Shen Ningsi, and the excitement in her heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Then he jumped down from the carriage in a more graceful posture than before.
