Chapter 1237: Shocking
Cheng Ge'er's face darkened when he heard this: "If you are admitted to the top three in the exam, the eldest brother must be fine, but it is very difficult to make the emperor give the marriage decree." β
It may be impossible to make such a great contribution in a lifetime, so isn't the eldest brother going to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?
Gu Jinli: "So it's not something we can help with this matter, and according to the temper of the eldest brother, he doesn't want us to help." β
The eldest brother originally wanted to secretly like the third girl, but they were already very annoyed when they guessed their thoughts, if they dared to do something again, the eldest brother would definitely be angry.
"However, as the younger brother and sister of the eldest brother, we can't do nothing, we should help the eldest brother."
Brother Cheng was overjoyed to hear this and asked, "How can I help?" The second sister said quickly. β
Gu Jinli looked at the pastry in his hand and said: "Naturally, start small, first deal with the relationship with the third sister, and when we have a good relationship with the third sister, the eldest brother and the third sister will naturally have more opportunities to intersect." β
She stood up and said, "Let's go, go to the kitchen to make pastries, tomorrow you send them to the third sister, just say that we ate the pastries she made, think it is excellent, and make a few pastries for her to taste." β
"This is what the second sister said about starting small? I understood, I went to help the second sister. Brother Cheng rolled up his sleeves and followed Gu Jinli to the kitchen for an hour, and when it was completely dark, the two returned to the yard with a few plates of finished pastries.
The lights had been lit in the courtyard, and Gu Jinxiu was waiting for them, and when she saw them coming back, she said, "This is the pastry for the third girl?" β
Brother Cheng was taken aback: "Eldest sister, do you know?" β
The corners of Gu Jinli's mouth twitched, big brother, don't hide your thoughts, your sister, your sister, and your brother all know it.
Gu Jinxiu nodded: "You guys made such a big move, I don't think it's hard to know." β
And she and An Ge'er are twins, An Ge'er's temper she knows best, as soon as there is a change, she can find out, happy and sad at the same time, An Ge'er finally likes a girl, but eighty percent can't marry.
"I heard that the third girl practiced martial arts, this girl's family, always holding a sword and hurting her hand, I made a pair of palms for her, and you sent her a piece of pastry." Gu Jinxiu took out a pair of palms and handed them to Brother Cheng: "It's good to have two pairs of palms to replace, and after a while, I will do a good job of the other pair, and you will send them to the third girl." β
Eldest sister, you still have a trick, you can, send a few more embroideries, and the relationship will continue.
Brother Cheng smiled, took the palm guard in the silk bag and said, "Don't worry, eldest sister, I will definitely send the palm guard." β
Gu Jinli took out a few good-looking boxes and packed the pastries he made one by one, one for the third girl and one for Mr. Ouyang.
As for the five girls, who is that? I don't know, I don't send it, now the ingredients are expensive, her family is poor, and she has to save it.
"Okay, you will take it to Ouyang's house to the third girl when you go to school tomorrow." After Gu Jinli finished packing up his things, he added four more bottles of new wine and handed them to Cheng Ge'er.
He also explained: "I know that you feel sorry for the eldest brother and want to help the eldest brother, but you must remember that the third girl has her own ideas, and we can't do too obvious things because we feel sorry for the eldest brother and cause trouble to the third girl." Just do some small things, and the rest depends on the fate of the eldest brother and the third sister. β
In a word, they can feel sorry for the eldest brother and help the eldest brother, but they can't force the three girls, and they can't help too much and cause trouble to the three girls.
Cheng Ge'er nodded heavily: "Well, I know, I won't do anything arrogant." β
The eldest brother said that the things in the world are not what they want and can get, and liking is their own business, and they can't force others to like it too.
After Cheng Ge'er finished speaking, he left with a big bag and a small bag.
If it's dark today, they can't go into the back house anymore, only he takes things by himself, but he doesn't feel tired, he is very happy, I hope these things can help the eldest brother.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Brother Cheng got up early, very actively went to class, and as soon as he arrived at Ouyang's house, he brought the gift to Mr. Ouyang: "Sir, the pastries made by the third sister yesterday are very delicious, and my family likes them very much, and the second sister feels that she can't eat the third sister's things in vain, so she made pastries for me to send to the third sister, and Mr. also has a share." β
Mr. Ouyang was very happy when he heard that he also had a share, and after accepting his share, he asked the maid to send another share to Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming was a little surprised when he received the gift from the Gu family sisters: "The Gu family sisters are too polite, they actually returned to Lilly." β
Don't boast, their sisters have ulterior motives!
Ouyang Ming picked up the ribbon with the palm guard, and after opening it and seeing the palm guard, he was surprised again: "I only know that Miss Gu's embroidery skills are excellent, but I didn't think that I still have such a mind?" β
The palm is embroidered with a picture of victory, an army is defeated, an army is victorious, coupled with the goshawk hovering in the air and the beating drum, people are in the battlefield, and the whole person is enthusiastic.
"Miss Gu, a girl who has never seen the battlefield, can embroider such a good product, this embroidery art is really at the level of an embroiderer." Ouyang Ming likes this kind of thing related to the battlefield, and this embroidery can be regarded as sent to her heart.
Coupled with the new wine given by Gu Er, taking a sip really made her feel that she was the victorious general.
Ouyang Ming originally didn't want to give the Gu family a return gift, lest she have to come back, and there will never be a rest, but because of this embroidery and wine, she gave the Gu family a gift again.
I went back and forth like this, but I sent it twice in five days.
On the fifth day, when Gu Jinan came back from sending the deed, he saw Ouyang Ming's post to Gu Jinli and Gu Jinxiu at home.
He was shocked, what did they do? How do you let the three girls personally post and invite you to be a guest?
The family has its own rules, and generally does not associate with peasant girls, so even if his family is friendly with Mr. Ouyang, the three girls have been here for a while, but the Ouyang family did not say that they would invite them to be guests.
Gu Jinan was afraid that Gu Jinli and they would do something arrogant when he was away, so he called them for "interrogation".
Gu Jinli told them about giving gifts to the three girls, and the three girls gave them gifts in return: "Big brother, we really haven't done anything, no one else knows your mind except us, it's all fate." β
Because of your size, you renew the relationship with the three girls by giving gifts and become friends, this kind of artificial fate, are you embarrassed to say?
However, Gu Jinan was happy and moved, he didn't say anything reprimanded, but after being silent, he said, "Thank you." β
Gu Jinli laughed when he heard it, you just pretend, I was afraid that I would laugh in my heart.
Gu Jin'an was indeed happy in his heart, even if he was busy on both sides, stayed up all night in a row, and was so tired that he was about to die suddenly, he was also in good spirits at the moment, and after eating, he brought two cabbages to their respective fiancΓ©s, and went to the county seat happily.
As soon as I arrived at the new bank, I heard several shocking rumors.
Zhili, Zhongzhou, Jianghuai, and even Jiangnan all had accidents because of taxes.
