Chapter 119 Rumors
He shook her head and asked, "What about the character of Mr. Zhou?"
Gu Yunyi was very confused: "Mother, why do you ask? Since I asked Xun'er to follow Mr. Zhou, I must have investigated the character of Mr. Zhou and his family. Mr. Zhou is honest, pragmatic, and well-educated. Otherwise, my son would not be able to talk to Mr. Zhou."
He was satisfied: "Nothing, it's just because Xun'er will go there every day in the future, and he will have a lot of contact with Zhou Yuanjia, so I want to help Xun'er learn more about him, so as to avoid any conflicts in the future."
"Mom, don't worry, your son has considered it all."
He nodded, but seemed a little absent-minded. She turned her head to look at Xinting. The girl was discussing the candied haws sold on the street with Yun Sheng and Yun Mo!
Oh! It’s so depressing!
Xinting and Xunger came to the Gu family. Although they were the nephews and nieces of the daughter-in-law, their age was not much different from Gu Yunyi and Xu Qingmeng. He also treated them as her own children.
Xinting has a mother like that, which makes people feel sorry for her. Even at this age, she is still worried about her.
During the meal, Zhou Yuanjia felt embarrassed every time he looked at her, not to mention Madam Zhou, who had been observing her throughout the meal, but this girl acted as if nothing had happened. She was not young, but still a fool.
In fact, Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi didn't realize it either. This is probably a common trait among gossipy middle-aged women. They don't need to say it explicitly. They can often tell what the other person is thinking with just a glance.
As for Aunt Zhou, since her son didn't say it clearly and Xinting was still young, although she had that idea, she still had to wait for her son's opinion.
Aunt Zhou also needs to think carefully about whether the person is easy to get along with or not, and she is not as enthusiastic as she appears.
Zhou Yuanjia came to Gu's restaurant more often to ask Gu Yunyi for advice.
Of course, He knew it very well, especially every time Zhou Yuanjia saw Xinting, he felt a little shy and awkward.
Everyone in the Xu family has a good foundation. When the girl first came to the Gu family, she was still not fully grown. But after coming to the Gu family, she had good food and drink, and it was a time for growth, so she grew up all of a sudden.
The originally round face became slightly elongated, with a delicate look between the eyebrows and eyes, and the skin became whiter and whiter, like a newly blooming pear blossom, fresh and unobtrusive.
She always wears her hair in a simple bun, and when she smiles, her eyes are curved like crescent moons, revealing a sense of smartness. Following Xu Qingmeng every day, her temperament becomes more and more obvious.
He looked at Xinting and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This child is getting more and more beautiful. She has completely inherited the good genes of the Xu family. Although she is not stunningly beautiful, she is also a beautiful girl from a small family. No wonder Zhou Yuanjia would like her.
From He's observation, Zhou Yuanjia was a good guy and he also wanted to bring the two of them together, so whenever Zhou Yuanjia came, as long as Xinting was there, he would let Xinting come out and show her face.
However, it was just serving tea, passing water, or helping to get something, so Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi didn't notice it.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, Xu Qingmeng had just returned from Jinxiuxuan, holding two boxes of snacks in her hands. Shen Jinwen asked her to bring them, saying that he had a gift and asked her to bring two boxes when she came back.
Jinxiuxuan's business is booming now, and the dim sum gift boxes are in great demand.
As soon as Xu Qingmeng walked to the door, she saw He and Aunt Zhou chatting enthusiastically. Gu Yunyi ate his meal and left. It seemed that he was busy with the previous method.
I guess He still doesn't know what's being said outside today. It turns out that Xu Qingmeng's dream is just that the person behind the scenes can't hold back any longer.
Some people say that Gu Yunyi is an unfilial person, and that Xu Qingmeng got married only half a month after Gu Hongxin's death. However, this point cannot be refuted. It is also known to everyone that Gu Yunyi will take the next exam in May. Of course, this is also a fact.
But of course, there are people who know the inside story and would say that Xu Qingmeng married into the family because Gu Yunyi was dying at the time, and she did so in order to bring good luck.
It took Xu Qingmeng a long time to realize that her original body was instigated by someone behind the scenes. However, that person would never admit it, and they didn't know who the person behind the scenes was. After all, that person never showed up from beginning to end.
Xu Qingmeng would not say anything, and Gu Yunyi obviously knew something. He only knew that it was probably related to the He family, but it was only his imagination and there was no evidence.
He didn't find out until the evening, because she accidentally let it slip when Xinting came back. After that, she became restless and sighed.
The rumors were getting more and more intense, and Gu Yunyi was in Shiqing Village at this time.
Although Shiqing Village is not far from Yan County, it is not very close either. There is a distance in between and a river blocking the way. There used to be a bridge, but it was later destroyed due to war and has never been rebuilt since then.
There is a lot of rain in the summer and the river water will spread, so the people in Shiqing Village will not go out. It can be said to be a relatively secluded village.
Gu Yunyi stood on the boat. The old ferryman was pulling the rope, his beard all gray.
"Old Master Gu came back a few times, and he always brought a lot of stuff with him. The village chief would say he was the most promising person in the village. It's a pity that when Old Master Gu left, no one in the village knew about it, and no one was able to see him off. It's been so many years now."
Then he talked about Gu Yunyi's father, and the old man smiled: "I have seen him once before. At that time, he was probably about your age now, following behind Old Man Gu. He was very handsome, different from the children in the village, and his temperament was also extraordinary."
Who could have thought that the world is so cruel? He is already over fifty years old and still alive, while the extraordinary young master back then has actually passed away. Calculating his age, he is only in his thirties.
The old man let out a sigh of melancholy. Gu Yunyi comforted him with a few words, then quickly changed the subject and talked about the affairs of the clan.
Almost everyone in Shiqing Village has the surname Gu. Old Man Gu came from here.
Because of the wars in those years, the Gu family lived in seclusion in Shiqing Village. The Gu family restaurant was bought by the old man of the Gu family, who spent his whole life's hard work. At that time, the old man was younger than Gu Yunyi, and he thought he could live a good life.
Who would have thought that his parents passed away after just two years. Mr. Gu was determined to make a name for himself and didn't want to go back to the village, so he struggled to run the restaurant alone. Later, the situation gradually improved and he gradually became prosperous.
After becoming rich, Mr. Gu missed his hometown and came back several times, including one time he brought his son Gu Hongxin with him. Perhaps because he worked too hard when he was young, Mr. Gu passed away without ever enjoying the good life. Mrs. Gu couldn't stand it anymore, so she followed him and left Gu Hongxin alone.
