Chapter 1196 Tuesday
A group of fellow villagers from your hometown are here?
Gu Jinli rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, yawned and asked: "Where are these fellows from? Whose last name is it? Are they from the town in the same county or from another county? Who let them in?"
Gu Jinli asked several questions in succession, and the last one was the most critical.
When she learned that the emperor was going to impose additional taxes, she had already told Wang Yongfu and the others not to let in anyone except those who came to pick up the goods, even people they knew.
If she knows who dares to disobey orders, don't blame her for being rude.
Xiao Ji said: "They are fellow villagers from the northwest. They said they escaped the famine with the little boss. They came from Niugou Town, and their surnames are Zhou and Lin. The third grandfather and the third grandmother seemed to like them very much. Knowing that they were here, let them Uncle Wang let them in."
Are the third grandpa and the third grandma going to see you?
Gu Jinli squinted for a while, feeling more awake, and finally remembered the Zhou family and the Lin family... These two families did flee the famine with them, and were assigned to the same county, but they were in different villages, and they were far apart, so they didn't have much contact. .
This sudden visit must be to borrow money to pay taxes.
Gu Jinli got up and changed his clothes, casually tied his hair into a bun, opened the door and went to the next room to brush his teeth and wash his face, and asked: "Where is my sister? Go find her and bring her back. There are too many people. What if someone with no eyesight gets caught?" If you hit me, you'll be sick for a while."
Zhou Lin's family has a large population. There were more than fifty people when they fled to He'an Prefecture. With so many people, they may not all be of good character, and there may be bachelors who have bad intentions in marrying their wives.
That's right, she has such a dark mind and doesn't trust people.
"Xiaoyu, eldest sister is here. Don't worry. Sister Youli is protecting me." Gu Jinxiu carried a food box into the yard. When she heard this, she smiled very happily. This kind of being protected by her younger brothers and sisters It feels really good.
but
Sister, I know how to punch and kick, so you dont have to worry so much every time. Gu Jinxiu also escaped from famine and knew how to be wary of people. She didnt want Xiaoyu, An Geer, or even Cheng Geer to worry too much about her.
Gu Jinli smiled and said: "I know that the eldest sister can punch and kick, and she has poison in her hands. It is definitely no problem to protect herself, but I am used to it. I always feel that the eldest sister is weak and I am afraid that something will happen to her."
After hanging up the cotton towel, she said to Gu Jinxiu: "Sister, just stay in the yard. Don't go anywhere. I'll go out and take a look."
"Zhou Laolin has just arrived. I'm afraid he won't leave so early. You should have something to eat before going." Gu Jinxiu greeted Gu Jinli, went to the main room in the courtyard, and took out the breakfast in the food box.
Gu Jinli was also a little hungry. After eating two cakes and a bowl of porridge, he took Xiao Ji and left. Before he left the back house, he met Er Qing.
Erqing stopped the two girls and said, "Miss Zhou, Miss Lin, this is the inner house, and beyond it is the yard of the two girls from the servant's house. Don't break in."
"Slave? Are you a servant of the Gu family?" The girl looked at Er Qing on Tuesday and felt very uncomfortable. They all came here to escape the famine, but the life of the Gu family was much better than that of her own family. Even the clothes worn by the servants were not made of the same material. Better than what she had.
Erqing: "Yes, I am a servant of the Gu family."
The girl smiled on Tuesday: "Since you are a servant, then go and inform us and tell Sister Gu and Second Sister Gu that we are here to see them."
He added: "We escaped from famine together with the two sisters of the Gu family, and we have been through hardships together. We have a very good relationship, and it is a rare trip. Sister Gu and second sister Gu will be very happy if they hear that we are coming." No." Gu Jinli frowned, when had she ever become familiar with the girl from the Zhou family?
When they were fleeing from famine, Mr. Zhou Laolin saw that there were people who knew how to box and kick, and wanted to ask for asylum, so he took two families with them. When something happened, Mr. Zhou Laolin would come over to talk. At most, each of them would bring one of his sons, but he didn't. The granddaughter came to see them.
Erqing refused: "I'm sorry, Miss Tuesday, this is the back house. I also ask the two girls to go to the front yard to stay with the elders first, and don't wander around."
What does it look like to go to other people's homes as guests, and instead of staying with the elders, you wander into other people's homes?
The girl was a little angry on Tuesday. In fact, when she walked into the back house, besides wanting to meet Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jinli, she was also thinking about whether she could bump into Gu Jinan?
The news that Gu Jin'an was selected as a scholar and became the second young San Yuan Lang in Jianghuai also spread to Xializi Village in Niugou Town, causing a sensation in that poor valley.
Because the Zhou family and the Lin family knew the Gu family, they received many gifts from wealthy families in the village and even the town. They just wanted to curry favor with them and ask them to make introductions to meet Gu Xiucai.
The **** Tuesday was two years older than Gu Jinli, already seventeen, and had already reached the age of marriage. However, because she was fleeing from poverty, the person she wanted to marry could not be high-end or low-end.
And there are a few gangsters in the village who often come to bother her, which makes her very scared. Even the eldest sister's man...
The girl was very upset about her marriage on Tuesday. When she heard that Gu Jinan was admitted as a scholar, she suddenly thought about Gu Jinan.
However, when she came here, her grandfather warned her not to do anything embarrassing. If it would affect the family's ability to borrow money, she should look good!
The **** Tuesday felt aggrieved, but she never thought of giving up. If she could get along with Gu Jinan and the family would get benefits, her grandfather would not blame her, but would only praise her for doing the right thing.
Miss Lin Si said: "Girl, please don't be angry. We were looking for a hut and didn't know the way, so we turned here."
Miss Lin Si was wronged. She was deceived by the second sister of the Zhou family and had no intention of breaking in.
"Sister Tuesday, let's go back quickly and stop running around. We are guests, running around is very unruly." Miss Lin Si grabbed girl Tuesday's hand and wanted to pull her away.
The **** Tuesday suppressed her anger and wanted to throw away Lin Si's hand, but she didn't want to make it too embarrassing, so she could only endure it. She grabbed Lin Si's hand and said, "Fourth sister, don't you also want to meet the Gu family?" Two sisters? Why did we regret it when we were about to meet? They are so fickle, really, alas..."
The **** Tuesday sighed, and after secretly complaining to Lin Siyi, she said to Erqing: "Since you are in trouble, we won't make it difficult for you. Let's go back to the front yard first, and bother you to go talk to the Gu family The eldest sister said that her girl from the Zhou family and the Lin family is here, and if it is convenient, we would like to meet her and catch up on old times."
She remembered that the eldest girl of the Gu family was an idiot, with a soft heart, and was very particular about rules. When she knew they were coming, she would come out to see them out of politeness.
If you want to take down Gu Jinan, you just have to take down the Gu sisters first.
It's a pity that Gu Jinxiu has been taught by Gu Jinli for several years, and she is no longer the girl she used to be who would do things she doesn't like out of shame.
"Okay, I will tell the eldest girl, you two, go on your way." Erqing agreed casually and sent Miss Tuesday away.
Gu Jinli waited for them to leave before taking Xiao Ji out.
