C77 uneasiness

After washing their clothes, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law walked back with the wooden basin in their hands. On the way, they met some young people in the village. They teased them and told them to smash the soil with their apricots.

"These people don't have a way to speak, so we should teach them a lesson and let them speak nonsense."

Xing Hua poked at Mian Niang's arm, but found that she had a dazed look on her face, as if she didn't take her words to heart at all.

"What's wrong with you? Mian Niang, you are not paying attention at all. Ever since I told you that your Uncle Tian had asked that Young Master Gu to drag it out until the point where he was half dead, you seem to have been staring blankly into space? "

"Nothing, sister-in-law."

Mian Niang worried her, so she could only shake her head and quickly change the topic: "I wonder when this grandmother and second aunt will get back together again."

"Why are you worried about this? As for the matters between these elders, we are unable to intervene in them. Let them do as they wish."

"It's just that our family is not on good terms with each other. It's always a joke for outsiders."

Xing Hua raised her hand without a care, saying: "Who cares, whoever loves to laugh will go. Who hasn't had a bad feeling about being a laughingstock? Let me tell you, where are their Dou Qi? If you don't smooth this matter over, no one can lower their head first, let's talk about it later …"

When she mentioned her mother-in-law and father-in-law, she was full of respect and worship towards them. She looked at the silly child as if he was her own little brother, and even though her husband was not by her side, she was getting along harmoniously with her in-laws.

Unlike her, who was not good at socializing with others, and could not handle the relationship between her and her mother-in-law husband, Wu Niang, who was both a sister-in-law and a close sister-in-law, she could not get along at all. The matters at home could not be resolved, and outside, there were still many bad things waiting for her.

Gu Mansion, Within the dining hall.

The doors and windows were closed, and the servants had been chased away by Gu Wen. He himself firmly guarded the entrance of the cafeteria, not allowing anyone to enter.

Gu Xi's face was frosted over, and he didn't say a single word.

Glistening Fragrance kneeled on the ground, trembling in fear as she cried and begged for mercy. However, her words were vague, and she only said that she had taken care of the drunk Master Mei according to Gu Xin's instructions.

The Elementary Scholar had a splitting headache, unable to remember what he had done before. The soft jade in his dream was so sweet that it made him feel like he was on the verge of death.

"Protect him …" He wanted to defend himself, but he wasn't guarded against Gu Xin's gaze. That gaze made him recall that Mei Tiangui, who had been dragged into a half-dead state for offending Gu Xin, had merely uttered the word "crash" and yet was able to make a person half dead. How was he to account for his crimes?

"Young Master Gu, Mehanlin has acted immoral after drinking, and has done such a disgraceful thing, I hope you can forgive me!"

"I take you as a fellow brother, that's why I cherish you as such, inviting people to treat you and help your family plot their future. I never expected that you would actually do such a thing! Mehanlin, you have truly disappointed me! "

Gu Yue waved his sleeve, turned around, and left.

Gu Wen was guarding the door but he didn't expect Gu Xin to suddenly kick the door open and walk out with large strides. He glanced at him once, then left in anger.

Gu Wen immediately thought to himself as he took a look around the room, only to see the Elementary Scholar who was lying on the ground like a pile of ashes, and the fake crying Glistening Fragrance at the side.

In the entire Gu Mansion, Song Zhixiao had already been led around everywhere, to the point where he did not even miss the crack on the fake mountain in the backyard. Since he really had nowhere to go, Song Zhixiao became anxious. However, Gu Wu refused to let him go, saying that the Elementary Scholar and his young master had official business to discuss, so it would be inconvenient for him to go and disturb them.

Hearing his words, Song Zhixiao could not rashly ask the Elementary Scholar to leave. She could only suppress the unease in her heart and continue to stay.

Just at this time, someone came and informed Gu Wu that Gu Xin was asking him to go.

If it was a normal person, Song Zhixiao would definitely correct them. He was a countryside farmer, so of course he wouldn't deserve such respect.

Gu Xin met Song Zhixiao in the study room.

Song Zhixiao entered the study room, paid his respects, and immediately stood at the side obediently, not daring to look around. In his heart, he was only curious about the Elementary Scholar, and why was he missing right now, but Gu Xin, who was sitting behind the desk, suddenly spoke: "What do you want to do? Farming, business? If you still want to manage the land, go to the manor. I will send someone to greet the manor head, and you can learn some of his abilities from him, and if you want to do business, go to the shops in the city and become an apprentice in the shop. The shopkeeper will naturally teach you well, and you will be able to do some small business for three to four years. "

Song Zhixiao didn't know if he was mistaken, but he felt that this Young Master Gu's tone seemed to be even more sincere than before. He immediately raised his head to take a look, but discovered that Young Master Gu didn't have any additional expression on his face, he was only sitting there with a fan in his hand, not fanning himself, just using it. It was obviously a fan, but it was somewhat similar to the sword moves that Gu Xin had made at the Martial Arts Practice Grounds.

Song Zhixiao suspected that he had seen wrongly, he did not know any martial arts, how could he remember the sword moves that Gu Wu had only played once!

"Don't you want to say something? Or are you not satisfied with it?"

These words were not a threat but full patience. It was just that Song Zhixiao was still filled with fear and trepidation as he promptly said while cupping his fists:

"I don't dare, I don't dare, just the Young Master Gu can arrange everything."

"Too much courtesy!"

The fan in his hand made a "Pa" sound as it hit, causing Song Zhixiao to immediately lower his head, not daring to look at Gu Xin again.

It was Gu Wu. He looked at Song Zhixiao, and then looked at his young master with a smile. "Young master, Brother Song wants to be the guard.

Gu Xin slightly raised the corner of his mouth. What these two people had been doing in this mansion all afternoon was naturally not something that could escape his notice.

Song Zhixiao did not need to learn too much, he only needed to train three moves and a half to be able to protect himself in front of ordinary people. In the future, when he enters the army, he will help them find a position and his brother will study properly, and then, the family will have a chance to shine.

In the future, he could also go to the front of his family's elders to help Mian Niang fight for the identity of a concubine, and thus be less bullied by the principal wife in the future.

Moreover, in the end, she could not just be a normal person, so anyone could bully her. For example, the woman who sold tofu, the poor Elementary Scholar, and even more so, that Formless Han called Mei Tiangui could bully Mian Niang as he pleased.

How could he be like this? For a family with no one to rely on, forget his grandfather and father, even if it were him, as long as he stuck out his little finger, they would be doomed to perish.

He had already made up his mind. Naturally, he wasn't anxious, so he said doubtfully: "Being a guard is not bad, but my guards all practiced martial arts since they were young. Brother Song doesn't have a martial arts foundation …"

Hearing his words, Song Zhixiao couldn't help but feel disappointed. Just as he was about to say that he could go and farm with Zhuang Tou, he was caught off guard by Gu Xin, who opened his mouth once again:

Brother Song, you don't have to worry about this. Regarding this matter, you can go back and discuss it with your family before making a decision. If you really want to become a guard, then I'll let you know.

He changed his mind. When the situation took a turn for the better, Song Zhixiao would naturally be happy and immediately thank him.

Gu Han waved his hand and said, "Go back, your family members should be worried."

Song Zhixiao quickly took his leave. After walking past the drooping flower arch, Song Zhixiao remembered that he did not come here alone, and immediately asked Gu Wu: "Han Lin came with me. Where is he?"

Gu Wu's eyes flashed, and was at a loss of what to say, when he saw Gu Wen leading the Elementary Scholar out of the courtyard. After meeting up with him for a few times, the three of them greeted each other, and only the Elementary Scholar did not say a word and walked out of the courtyard.

A servant had already brought the carriage out, the Elementary Scholar did not even look at Song Zhixiao, and went back inside the carriage.

Song Zhixiao was not good with words in the first place, and since he did not know why the Elementary Scholar acted this way, he could only clasp his hands towards the two of them. He caught up with the horse carriage and headed straight for Plum Blossom Village.

Along the way, the Elementary Scholar had already lost all of his leisure and complacency, and was silently sitting on the carriage with his head lowered, thinking about something. Song Zhixiao wanted to talk to him about his own matters, but seeing him like this, he turned his head and focused on driving the carriage, not saying another word.

The sunset glow was like fire at the edge of the sky. The two of them finally returned to Plum Blossom Village, and just as Mian Niang finished steaming her nest into the pot and heard the noise at the door, she ran out without caring about washing her hands. Seeing that her brother was still unharmed, her heart that had been holding back immediately calmed.

Just as she was about to speak, the Elementary Scholar who had alighted from the carriage glared at her. Mian Niang was completely confused, and did not have the time to talk to him.

The Elementary Scholar quickly returned to his room and slammed the door shut.

Before Song Zhixiao could speak, tofu hyacinth walked out of the house along with his walking stick. He also asked around to find out what happened.

Song Zhixiao didn't want to hide anything, so he told them everything that Gu Xin had said in front of his mother-in-law and sister.

Hearing that he needed to be a guard, Mian Niang could not help but ask worriedly: "Brother does not know even the slightest martial arts, what if you encounter danger in the future?"

"You really think too much. If he became a guard, the Young Master Gu naturally wouldn't allow him to not know anything. Someone will definitely teach him martial arts."

tofu hyacinth felt that it was a good job, and advised: "Compared to farming, it is better to do things in the house, and I can see Young Master Gu often, maybe I will immediately be promoted and go to Young Master Gu's side to do things, think, things around Young Master Gu's side, naturally it will show my face, furthermore, it will be easier for me to stick my neck out by his side."
