Chapter 124: Happy Events Are Near
“…… The Luo family and the Zhan family have quietly been in frequent contact with that He Dafu, and these two have recently allocated a lot of people to the grange outside the city, saying that they are replanting,"
The attendant stood respectfully in front of the hall, and slowly replied to the news that had been inquired in the past few days, "The subordinates heard the rumors that the Luo and Zhan families looked at the Zhuangzi very strictly, and they even pulled out a cart of rice seedlings in the first few days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It is obvious that they are not replanting at all, but they are forcibly pulling out all the rice that has just emerged, and then planting something else. ”
As for what that 'other thing' was, Zhan Azhuo knew it with his toes.
"To die, these ones can really do it one by one."
Ah Zhuo slammed the table hard, and said hatefully, "I don't know how many times I persuaded him, but he only turned a deaf ear, but he had to run to death." ”
Ah Zhuo couldn't help but worry that if this matter was really a trap as she guessed, then the people involved in it would definitely not end well.
Gu Jialuo is just that, there are backers in the capital, and the family is prosperous, even if something happens and someone needs to top the tank, it will not be her turn to be a daughter of the family.
On the other hand, Luo, Zhan and several other families, who are famous in Wumeng, are praised as 'Eight Great Families' and 'Wumengwang Clan', but out of the Wumeng realm, they are just Yi people who have returned to the mountains and returned to the stream, who takes them seriously?
If there is really trouble, they don't need to be bothered to operate, and they are the most suitable scapegoats.
Also, even if it is the 'Eight Great Families', it is also the old yellow calendar in Umuna in the past.
The eight families of Qu, Lu, Luo, Zhan, An, Xu, Duan and Bai were directly 'purged' by Qi Jinzhi a few months ago, namely the Lu family and the Xu family, which colluded with King Xiaoliang.
Qi Jinzhi sacrificed with an iron fist and directly uprooted the Lu and Xu families, and since that day, there are no more these two families in Wumeng.
At the same time, the Bai family and the Luo family were also affected, but these two families were timid, and they did not dare to openly collude with King Xiaoliang like the Lu and Xu families, but just stood on the periphery and made a scene, and did not touch the substantive matters at all.
Rao is like this, they were also choked by Qi Jinzhi, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and most of their family property was damaged. Although he was not poor, he also fell out of the circle of wealthy families and became an ordinary rich family in Wumeng.
Falling from the clouds into the quagmire, no one can stand this huge drop.
For example, the Luo family has been pondering how to restore the glory of the family in the past few months. And this so-called 'restoration of glory' cannot be solved by touching lips, it requires sufficient financial support and appropriate timing.
The news that He Banxia quietly spread made the old man of the Luo family, who heard about it, suddenly feel that there was an opportunity - Yingsu can bring huge profits, and their family only needs to vacate a part of the fertile land and plant a little, and they will be able to reap ten or even a hundred times the profit by the end of the year.
In this way, the Luo family will also have a chance to develop again!
"Idiot, what a stupid idiot,"
Ah Zhuo understands the Luo family's eagerness to turn over, but he can't come nonsense.
Although I don't know what is magical, but when I calm down and think about it, I can still find the problem: He Banxia used dozens or even a hundred times more money than the market price to buy the warbler fruit, and she either burned a lot of money, or her brain was in water.
Of course, there is an even more terrible reason, that is, He has other plans.
Ah Zhuo was dazzled by the huge amount of money promised by He Banxia in the past, and he didn't have time to think about these questions at all.
But recently, first with Ah Duo's reminder, and then with He Banxia's various abnormal behaviors, Ah Zhuo felt more and more that there was something wrong with this matter.
On the Shuixi side, Ah Zhuo's words are more effective, as long as she persuades the Xuanfu envoy and her father, those Yi clan leaders in Shuixi will not get involved.
Umon is here, just ...... Alas, Ah Zhuo let out a long sigh and said, "Let's go, I've said everything that should be said, but they don't believe it, and I can't do it." You pack up, let's go back to Shuixi! ”
Those who don't listen to persuasion, Ah Zhuo is too lazy to bother talking.
"Yes, Second Miss."
The attendant hurriedly agreed, but his expression was a little hesitant, and he stopped talking: "It's just, the second miss here, you really don't care?" ”
"Tube? What do I want to do? But I want them to be obedient,"
Ah Zhuo shouted angrily, she couldn't let go of the clansmen in her heart, and after a moment of silence, she said helplessly: "Forget it, they don't appreciate it, but I can't see death without help." Come on, prepare pen and paper, I want to write a letter! ”
……
After arranging the housework for the day, Gu Jialuo watched that the sun was just right, ordered someone to prepare tea and pastries, and read a book on the chaise longue in the west room alone.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded.
Ziwei frowned, glanced at the hostess who was reading leisurely, she quietly came to the outside room, stopped the reckless little maid, and asked in a very low voice, "What's the matter?" Is it so frizzy? ”
When the little maid saw Ziwei's face sank, she realized that she had lost her temper, and hurriedly suppressed her excitement, shrunk her neck and whispered: "So that Sister Ziwei knows that the uncle has sent someone back to report the news, saying that they are already on the way back to the city, and they will be home in about three days." ”
Ziwei was overjoyed, but she still reprimanded the little girl with a straight face, "Uncle is coming back, it's a big joy, but you can't mess with the rules." The big grandma is easy to clean up for a while, and you make a lot of noise, so you don't have to disturb the big grandma. ”
The little maid's head was pressed even lower, and she was about to whisper her guilt, but she didn't want to hear Gu Jialuo's voice in the west.
"What are you talking about? Crape myrtle, come in and talk about something! ”
Ziwei took the envelope from the little girl's hand, handed her a stern look, turned around and lifted the curtain into the inner room, and the moment she turned around, the expression on her face quickly hooked a light smile.
"Grandma, uncle sent a letter, saying that they have rushed back and will be back in a few days."
Ziwei said as she held the envelope in both hands.
Xu is sun was too comfortable, Gu Jialuo's whole body was stunned, and the scroll in his hand almost fell.
Just when her head was little by little, she heard someone chattering outside, so she asked angrily.
As soon as he heard Qi Jinzhi's letter, Gu Jialuo suddenly came to his senses, threw away the scroll, turned over and sat up.
Tearing open the envelope, she pulled out the letter and read it carefully, her eyes moving up and down with the lines of handwriting, and her lips couldn't help but smile.
"Great, Uncle is coming back soon."
Gu Jialuo muttered happily, Qi Jinzhi's letter was not long, in addition to explaining his itinerary, he also mysteriously told Gu Jialuo that he would surprise her when he returned.
Gu Jialuo raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, Uncle will return to his hometown next time, and it is too late to get busy with business, how can he have the kung fu to 'create surprises'?
She couldn't think of any surprises in this poor country, far from her homeland!
However, Qi Jinzhi's return is already a happy event for her.
At that moment, there was another memory of small footsteps outside, followed by a low voice.
Gu Jialuo raised his chin at Ziwei.
Ziwei understood, raised her feet and came to the outer room.
After a while, she folded back again, and had another letter in her hand.
Gu Jialuo just folded Qi Jinzhi's letter and put it away, and when he raised his eyes and saw this, he couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong with this today?" I don't usually see how busy I am, but today I have a letter on the left and a letter on the right. Where's this letter? ”
Maybe Qi Jinzhi was coming back, Gu Jialuo's mood that had been dull for several days instantly soared, and he actually had the leisure to talk and laugh with the maid.
Ziwei felt Gu Jialuo's good mood, followed her words, and echoed: "Look at what Grandma said, what else can happen?" It must be a happy event and a good thing, and they all rush to the door. ”
As she spoke, she handed the letter to Gu Jialuo, and introduced it in her mouth: "It's a letter from the lady of the Duan family, grandmother, please take a look!" ”
Zhan Azhuo? What could she have mattered about?
Gu Jialuo unfolded the letter in confusion, revealing Ah Zhuo's handful of words that were definitely not good.
Through several letters, Gu Jialuo and Ah Zhuo recognized each other's handwriting. Moreover, Ah Zhuo's handwriting is very recognizable, square, horizontal and vertical, which is even more standardized and standard than the writing of children who have just begun to practice calligraphy in Mengxue.
Ah Zhuo's letter was also very short, less than 100 words, but it told Gu Jialuo a very useful information.
Of course, Ah Zhuo never makes a loss-making business, and she has requirements for Gu Jialuo-
"The person who sent the letter said that if this matter can be successfully concluded, I hope that Gu Yiren can look at the 'feelings' of the past and pull those short-sighted Yiren to help."
Ziwei whispered.
Gu Jialuo slowly crumpled the letter paper and said slowly: "You go and tell the person who sent the letter, just say that I will not live up to the friendship between Ah Zhuo and my family!" ”
Ah Zhuo released several kindnesses in succession, and if Gu Jialuo was as vigilant and indifferent as in the past, he would be a little too much to say.
She and Qi Jinzhi are Han Chinese, but if they want to live in this multi-ethnic place, they must deal with the Yi people.
Azhuo seems to be a good medium. And after so many things, Ah Zhuo has gradually let go of his prejudice and hostility towards the Han people, and is ready to start accepting the couple.
"Yes, the servant will go and tell the man."
Ziwei saw that Gu Jialuo said solemnly, and she didn't dare to underestimate it, so she went out to reply in person.
happened to pass by the kitchen when she went out, and Ziwei asked thoughtfully, "Grandma, it's been more than half a morning, do you want to use some snacks?" ”
Not to mention, Ziwei reminded her that Gu Jialuo really wanted to eat, but somehow, she suddenly remembered a kind of food, "You ask the kitchen to make me a bowl of hot and sour noodles, put more spicy seeds and vinegar, sour and spicy, just appetizing!" ”
As he spoke, Gu Jialuo's mouth began to drool, and a large bowl of steaming hot and sour noodles covered with a layer of red peppers already appeared in his mind.
Seeing this, Ziwei hurriedly nodded, "Hey, grandma, wait a while, the maid will go!" ”
Seeing Ziwei walk out of the room quickly, Gu Jialuo didn't have the heart to read, so he casually picked up a piece of pastry from the plum blossom box and ate it in small bites.
When Ziwei finished speaking and walked in with a food box, the dim sum box on the small table next to the chaise congue was already one-third empty.
Ziwei was startled, carefully put the food box on the square table in the middle of the room, took out a bowl of hot and sour noodles that had just come out of the pot, and a few plates of side dishes, and then asked tentatively: "Grandma, everything is available, can you eat it now, or wait for it to be used?" ”
What she wanted to ask was grandma, grandma, you have eaten so many dim sum, can you still eat this big bowl of noodles at this time?
Gu Jialuo snorted, got up directly from the chaise longue, like a foodie possessed, followed the fragrance and sat down at the table, swallowing saliva violently, and said happily: "There are hot and sour noodles, oops, as well as red oil sour bamboo shoots and cold leeks...... Yo yo, and three mullets, fire sandwich quiche......"
Gu Jialuo picked up the chopsticks, sighed in surprise, and quickly stuffed something into his mouth.
This meal was made by a local chef from the southwest specially invited by Gu Jialuo, who made first-hand local dishes. The hot and sour noodles are spicy, sour and fragrant, a few cold dishes are crisp and delicious, and the delicate side dishes are full of color, flavor and flavor.
Gu Jialuo was so spicy that he inhaled the cool air, and the beads of sweat rolled on his head, but he was reluctant to stop his chopsticks.
Ziwei was stunned and watched Gu Jialuo eat the meal for two, and when Gu Jialuo put down the chopsticks with satisfaction, Ziwei seemed to come back to her senses and asked with concern: "Grandma, you, have you eaten?" Do you want the kitchen to prepare some hawthorn tea for you? ”
Eating so much and all of them are spicy and stimulating foods, the stomach will definitely not be able to stand it, and you must drink some tea to help digestion and nourish the stomach.
Gu Jialuo waved his hand, "No need, I just finished eating, it's not good to drink hawthorn tea!" ”
Wiping the oil stains on his mouth with a wet handkerchief, Gu Jialuo yawned, returned to the chaise longue with his slightly convex belly, found a comfortable position, picked up the book he had just read, and read it listlessly.
But soon, Gu Jialuo's eyelids sank, his head slid little by little, his hand slid down, and with a bang, the book fell to the ground.
“…… Whew~~"
In the room full of sunlight, Gu Jialuo bathed in a golden yellow and slowly fell asleep. There was even a faint snoring sound in the room.
Ziwei stood on the spot, stupidly looking at the hostess who had a tendency to turn into a pig, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Mother Qu, something is wrong with the eldest grandmother recently,"
Ziwei was not at ease in the end, and in the afternoon, when Gu Jialuo and Zhou Gong were in love again, she quietly ran to Qu's mother's room, carefully talked about Gu Jialuo's abnormality in recent days, and then said worriedly: "Is grandma sick?" The maid was very worried and wanted to invite Dr. Yan to come over and take a look, but she was afraid that the grandmother would be unhappy. ”
Mother Qu listened carefully, and then asked a few questions, "You said that grandma has a very good appetite recently, and in addition to the normal three meals a day, she also has to let the kitchen deliver snacks in the morning, afternoon and night?" ”
Ziwei nodded vigorously, "The maid is really afraid that the eldest grandmother will eat her stomach!" "But I can't persuade you.
Mother Qu asked again: "Grandma is still very sleepy?" ”
Ziwei continued to nod, the master was about to turn into a pig, and this son was still sleeping in the house.
Mother Qu's frowning eyebrows suddenly expanded, and Pia slapped her palm, revealing a surprised expression......
PS: Hey, hey, the surprise is coming! (To be continued.) )
