Chapter 701: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
On the one hand, it is Tang Xiannan, and on the other hand, it is the matter of the two families in Jinling.
Gu Zizhong swayed.
She pondered in her heart, but she was also embarrassed.
In order not to hurt Tang Xiannan's face, Gu Zizhong had no choice but to say, "Sister Tang, Zizhong also wants to see them." But I have to take care of Qing'er, and my body is really not very good. So, if they have any problems, please ask Sister Tang to help me and ask me how it is? I must be thinking of helping. ”
Aunt Cui was also on the side to help: "Yes, Miss Tang." If they want to ask the county lord for help, just say it. But I have to bother Miss Tang to talk about it. As long as Miss Tang opens her mouth, my county lord will definitely do it. ”
Having said this, Tang Xiannan has nothing to say.
She had no choice but to agree, nodded and went out.
Gu Zizhong breathed a sigh of relief, but he was even more worried.
After all, she offended her good friend Tang Xiannan.
Tang Xiannan took the initiative to invite her to go, but she didn't go.
Isn't this a refutation of Sister Tang's face?
It's really embarrassing not to give face.
In the evening, Xiao Lian'er ran over and told Gu Zizhong: "County Lord Gu, let me tell you, grandpa has already agreed, and the day after tomorrow is set." Tomorrow, grandpa will come to discuss with you, the county lord. The day after tomorrow, you will transport the silver back to Jinling. ”
Gu Zizhong's heart suddenly became sour.
She didn't want to be separated from Lian'er.
She got up and went to take Lian'er in her arms.
With this strength, can it be a loss? Could it be that the body bones are bad?
Aunt Cui on the side was about to laugh.
Lord Gu's lie is really too powerful.
Excessive.
Gu Zizhong didn't believe that he had so much strength to be able to pick up Xiao Lian'er.
She held Lian'er with one hand and pinched Lian'er's nose with the other, causing Lian'er to giggle.
Gu Zizhong also teased the child: "You said that you are so old, and you don't eat well." You're so light, even I can hold it. ”
Lian'er said with a smile: "My mother said, girls don't eat too much, they won't be able to marry when they grow fat." ”
Gu Zizhong turned around and looked at Aunt Cui twice, and they were about to laugh and burst into tears.
Lian'er is very well-behaved and lively, and when she opens her mouth, a row of white teeth is exposed, but a hole is exposed in the position of the big plate teeth on it.
Gu Zizhong became concerned: "You have eaten too much sugar again, right? I shouldn't have given it to you." ”
Lian'er stuck out her tongue at her.
The child was so naughty that Gu Zizhong couldn't stop laughing.
Gu Zizhong put Lian'er down and said, "Okay, I understand." You go back first, Sister Zizhong has to discuss it carefully. ”
Lian'er agreed, turned around and ran away.
Gu Zizhong asked Feng Ming to close the door.
After she smiled and sighed, she was very embarrassed: "What should I do now? Do I see those gentry or not?" Sister Su has said it in my ear because of this. But I've been ignoring them. This...... It's not in order. ”
Feng Ming said: "If they see County Lord Gu, they will definitely have a lot of things to ask for. When the time comes, the county lord, you want to resign, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to get over your face. ”
Aunt Cui said: "This kind of thing is easy to do, haven't we already said it? Do you want Miss Tang to go back and ask? Tomorrow we will take the initiative to ask Miss Tang." No matter how fanciful Miss Tang said, she was just the one who said. The three of us have a bigger aura than her, and it's easy to refuse. ”
That's a good idea.
Gu Zizhong got off the donkey, and it was decided.
In fact, she thought so in her heart, but she just asked Aunt Cui to help her say it.
The three of them just said it.
Gu Zi said solemnly: "I just think about Lian'er, Mrs. Li is cowardly, and it is really difficult to do things." What if Mrs. Su is unfavorable to Lian'er in the future?"
That's what she fears the most.
She is now thinking about taking Lian'er back to Jinling to live.
After a night, the next morning, there was no one outside.
However, it was not until ten o'clock in the afternoon that Uncle Li came to speak.
Gu Zizhong was really a little scared in his heart.
Tang Xiannan also followed.
Gu Zizhong invited the two of them to sit down.
Uncle Li sat opposite Gu Zizhong, but he was very imposing, and as soon as he sat down, his aura shocked the surroundings.
Even Aunt Cui, who has always been sleek, didn't dare to talk nonsense.
People have been doing business all their lives, and now they have a kind of boss momentum, how can it not be scary?
The momentum on Gu Zizhong's body was gone, and she completely bowed her eyebrows in front of Uncle Li, for fear that something would be wrong.
Uncle Li came up and went straight to the point: "County Lord, our silver taels are also ready, there is a letter from Jinling, they want you to send the silver over within ten days, County Lord." According to the old man's opinion, the county lord will leave tomorrow, okay?"
Where did Gu Zizhong dare to refute?
After all, she also wanted to leave early.
Tang Xiannan said with a smile: "County Lord, it's not that your uncle drove you away, it's just that the silver taels can't be left all the time, and the matter over there in Jinling can't be delayed." ”
Gu Zizhong chuckled, calm and calm on the surface, very comfortable: "I understand this, I listen to my uncle." ”
That's easy to do.
Uncle Li finished what he had to say, and glanced back at Tang Xiannan.
He stopped again and said, "Oh, by the way, Lord Gu, I still have something to say." Some of the gentry in our country have prepared gifts for you, the county lord, and I have asked them to put them next to the silver. Tomorrow when you leave, you will carry the gift with the silver, shall we?"
Gu Zizhong was stunned, but still asked cautiously, "I don't know what kind of gift it is?"
Tang Xiannan smiled: "It's just some things for children, clothes they wear, earrings they wear, or something." Nothing to speak of. County Lord, I'll follow you back to Jinling tomorrow, okay?"
Oh, Guo Zhishi is still in Jinling, Tang Xiannan must follow.
This back and forth tossing is just to transport silver taels.
Gu Zizhong had no choice but to agree.
Uncle Li and Tang Xiannan both left happily.
Gu Zizhong looked back and thought about it, as if he had just reacted.
Feng Ming said: "What kind of gifts those gifts are, they didn't say clearly." We had to take it. Could there be any problems?"
It's too late if there's a problem.
Gu Zizhong smiled faintly and said, "They just want to take this opportunity to give us some gifts and take a look." If they have anything in the future, won't they depend on us?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Zizhong dodged left and right, but he still couldn't dodge.
Since you can't dodge, don't dodge.
Gu Zizhong smiled faintly and said, "No matter what it is, let's take it." It's better to take it than to offend someone. There are many gentry in Jiangnan, we can't offend them all. ”
