Chapter 467 Visit
When mentioning He Jinglan, Gu Xixi showed a sincere smile on her face.
"How is Jinglan doing lately?"
He Jinghui has always been eloquent, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that always smile lively, which makes him very popular among women.
But the woman in front of him was "a friend's wife you can't tease", so he had to restrain his damn charm.
He just replied casually, "It's all good, but I'm busy all day, just like Boss Gu."
"Now if I want to see my sister in my own home, I have to wait until she comes back in the evening and is free to do so without looking at the account books."
Gu Xixi smiled, "Master He, are you complaining and blaming me for leading Jinglan astray?"
"No, no," He Jinghui was so scared that he waved his hands and laughed awkwardly, "Why would I think so! Boss Gu is such a joke."
Mu Nanzhao cannot come to the northwest in the near future, but he will definitely write a letter to Huachidu Village every day, except for visiting the ancestors in the morning and evening.
Even Mu Nanzhao was completely controlled by this woman and transformed into such a fawning person.
How dare He Jinghui do that? !
Although Gu Xixi didn't know what He Jinghui was really thinking, she could guess from his expression that he had nothing good to say.
She smiled and said, "Ganyuju has just opened two branches. I heard from Jinglan that the business is very good."
"The new store is still in its infancy. Once it gets on track in a while, Jinglan should be able to relax a little."
He Jinghui nodded. With the belief that less trouble is worse than more, he didn't dare to say much in front of Gu Xixi.
Finally, Gu Xixi asked Mu Nanzhao, "Is his leg injury healed?"
"Recently, have you been staying up late reviewing documents, going out all day, and riding horses by yourself?"
Alarm bells rang above He Jinghui's head.
Although he kept a polite smile on his face, he had already cursed Mu Nanzhao countless times in his heart.
You bastard, you must let me visit him for you.
Don’t you just want to know whether Jiang Mingyuan is abusing his power for personal gain and is trying to please him here every day, but you are too embarrassed to say it directly?
Now, your woman communicates with you every day, how is your health recovering? How should she not know?
She suddenly asked me these questions, she must be suspicious of you and want to get the truth out of me!
The couple checked on each other, and He Jinghui, who was caught in the middle, felt bitter.
He is the Minister of Revenue! The Minister of Revenue!
She's not an official matchmaker under the imperial court!
He Jinghui took a deep breath. At this moment, he still chose to stand up for his brother.
"He now goes to bed early and gets up early. Even if he is busy during the day, he will combine work and rest and eat three meals on time."
"horse riding……"
"His leg happened to be fine. In order to avoid the root of the disease in the future, he must be careful and go out in a carriage."
Gu Xixi narrowed her eyes, "Oh, really."
There is no need to ask, these two men must have exchanged their confessions in advance.
She smiled and said, "Mr. He is indeed the prince's best friend. You have memorized my instructions to him more clearly than he has!"
He Jinghui's scalp tightened and he could only try hard to keep smiling.
Thinking back to the time when Gu Xixi learned that Mu Nanzhao was willing to break his calf in order to avoid marrying the princess, her reaction was not as Jinghui had predicted, that she would be so moved that she would burst into tears.
Instead, he wrote a five-page letter scolding Mu Nanzhao.
Of course, Mu Nanzhao was very concerned about his reputation, so He Jinghui did not have the opportunity to watch the specific content.
Fortunately, Gu Xixi let He Jinghui go. "Mr. He has official business to attend to. It is really inappropriate to trouble you with such a small matter."
"I won't bother you, Master He, to take the message back for me."
He Jinghui felt relieved and said with a smile, "That's right, it would be more convenient for you to write to Mu Nanzhao and Jinglan directly."
He left immediately after completing his mission.
"Jinglan also asked me to bring some cakes and fabrics from Beijing. I asked someone to deliver them to your house."
Gu Xixi bowed, "Thank you very much."
She saw He Jinghui off, and the two of them walked past the accounting office of the tea garden. There were a lot of people gathered in front of them.
He Jinghui had seen all kinds of difficult situations, and he immediately understood and asked, "Boss Gu, do you need my help?"
"If you don't want to see them again, it's just a matter of words."
Gu Xixi had also heard about He Jinghui's methods, so she quickly declined, "It's just a small dispute, I can handle it myself."
"There's really no need to mobilize so many troops."
He Jinghui nodded, glanced at the Gu family members, turned around and got on the carriage.
However, he did not rush the driver to leave. He just sat quietly in the car and listened to the noise outside.
After all, everyone is here, and we can't just watch Gu Xixi suffer.
Gu Xixi walked towards the Gu family with a sullen face, and was about to speak.
Suddenly, everyone fell to their knees.
Gu Xixi was surprised and frowned, "What are you doing?"
The leader of the group said, "We are here to apologize!"
Gu Xixi sneered, "Are you trying to play the victim game on me, pretending to be pitiful, and forcing me to agree to your demands?"
"This trick may work for those who are kind and soft-hearted."
"It's a pity that you're kneeling to the wrong person. Go back and don't block the gate of my tea garden."
After she said that, she turned and left.
He Jinghui in the carriage raised the corners of his lips and said to the driver, "Let's go."
After hearing this, he was no longer worried that Gu Xixi would suffer a loss.
No wonder Mu Nanzhao was so happy after meeting Gu Xixi.
It turns out that the couple are really the same kind of people at heart.
The fact that they don't actively bully others shows that they still have a conscience.
Seeing that Gu Xixi was about to leave, everyone in the Gu family became anxious.
Most of them could no longer buy fertilizers and pesticides because of the trouble caused by their family members at the clan meeting.
Even without those, this season's corn was still harvested.
But once people have tasted the sweetness, how can they be willing to give it up?
What's more, a small number of tribesmen bought fertilizers and had a bumper harvest of corn. How could they not be jealous?
People with the same idea gradually gathered together in private.
This person in charge was elected as a representative by everyone.
Since the clan elders, Gu Er and others have been preventing everyone from increasing production and achieving a good harvest out of their own selfish desires.
So don't blame them for hiding it from the elders and secretly seeking reconciliation with Gu Xixi.
The person in charge shouted, "We are not here to work in the tea garden!"
"The elder is old and easily influenced by others, so it's inevitable that he is confused!"
"After discussion, we are willing to nominate Boss Gu as the new clan elder!"
"We've already counted the number of people. As long as we have the majority, it won't matter if Gu Er and the others object."
A few words, each one adding to the stakes.
But Gu Xixi still had no intention of stopping.
The person in charge was sweating with anxiety and continued to speak loudly, "Everyone has thought it through. From now on, we just want to follow Boss Gu and grow our own land. Nothing else belongs to us, so we don't want to think about anything else!"
Finally, Gu Xixi stopped.
She turned and looked at these people, "I don't like to take on too many responsibilities. I'm not interested in being a clan elder."
"But when it comes to farming, there is something to talk about."
…
In Zhaojia Village, smoke rises at dusk.
Gu Xixi sat in the small courtyard of Zhao the matchmaker's house, drinking a bowl of egg drop sweet soup.
Matchmaker Zhao has accumulated considerable connections in the local area over the years.
Gu Xixi wanted to ask her for help with something.
