The next day, as soon as the family had dinner, Aunt Zhao's refreshing voice sounded in the courtyard: "County Lord, I fried some meatballs by myself in the store today, and I specially brought some for you to taste, how about the county lord help me see how this tastes?" ”

There are all kinds of fried meatballs and fried sausages in a large bowl, and they are also wrapped in egg liquid, and the appearance is golden and the smell is particularly fragrant.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhao!" Gu Nuo picked a piece that he was most satisfied with and stuffed it into Gu Qing's mouth, "First bite, give it to the eldest sister!"

"Oops!" Gu Qing was a little surprised, this kid was really getting more and more likable.

"Eldest sister, just taste one, and you can eat the rest!"

"Second sister, Xiaoqi, Mama Zhu, Mama Liu, Sister Xia Zhu...... Come and try it, all of you! ”

The few people who were named were full of smiles, they had been in the palace for so many years, they had rewarded them with food, and there were countless people who had eaten with filial piety, but they were called to share the food like a family member, It was the first time.

Gu Nuo walked to another stone table with the bowl and sat down, and several children followed the grandmothers around.

Aunt Zhao saw that everyone was far away, so she lowered her voice and said, "County Lord, I actually want to ask you for help with something." ”

Gu Qing ate the balls and said, "If you have anything, just say it, as long as I can do it." ”

"The big girl is sixteen this year, I'm not in a hurry." Aunt Zhao sighed, "I told her a few relatives, but she was not satisfied, so I wondered, what kind of person did she want to find...... I went to her room last night and saw her holding a flower in a daze, and she looked like Sichun...... I hurriedly asked Xiaoya, it turned out that this flower was given by your child Zhu Lian. ”

Gu Qing's eyes showed a glint of gossip: "This means, Xiaolian and Big Girl, um...... The two of them have a play? But is Xiaolian a little younger? It's only fifteen years after the New Year, right? ”

"Where are you so young?" Aunt Zhao was anxious: "County Lord! Don't interrupt yet! ”

"Okay, okay, I won't interrupt, you go on!"

"I'm thinking that Zhu Lian sent something to the eldest girl, I should like our eldest girl." Aunt Zhao continued to sigh, "I tested the eldest girl a few words, and this girl doesn't seem to be reluctant to marry Zhu Lian."

I can't go directly to Zhu Lian to talk about this, after all, our family is a woman, it's not good to be too active, so can you ask the county lord to help ask, if Zhu Lian doesn't mean this, or if the county master doesn't have the idea of getting married, I immediately cut off the eldest girl's thoughts, so as not to make jokes! ”

"This little thing is wrapped up in me!" Gu Qing burned the fire of gossip in his heart, and said happily, "I'll go to the workshop!" ”

"The county lord. Don't worry, I have one more thing! Aunt Zhao grabbed Gu Qing: "Yesterday, Gu Laojiu was beaten by someone, fortunately, my man was on patrol and bumped into her, otherwise she would have been beaten to death!" ”

"Beaten?" It seems that the person behind the scenes was not satisfied with Gu Laojiu's instigation, so he became angry: "Can you see where it is?" ”

Aunt Zhao shook her head: "My man shouted, and those people immediately ran away without a trace, and they didn't even look back." ”

"I know about this, you tell everyone in the village to be cautious, if you encounter any suspicious people and things, come and tell me immediately!" Gu Qing sent Aunt Zhao away.

At this time, the sky is dark, the moonlight is shining on the earth, and the people in the village are still busy, and they will greet them warmly.

Most of the workers in the workshop have gone home, and only a few of them are still in the warehouse.

When Gu Qing arrived, Zhu Lian was registering the soap in the warehouse, he was serious and didn't notice that there was someone behind him.

"Xiao Lian!"

"Ah, county lord!" Zhu Lian turned his head, looked at Gu Qing who was standing beside him, and said crampedly: "When did the county lord come?" ”

"Just here!" Gu Qing glanced at the account book he wrote, and his handwriting improved greatly, and the handwriting was much better than hers: "You have to be careful when you do things, you said that if I was that villain, I stood behind you just now, and came over with such a stick, you said, what should you do?" What to do with the things in the warehouse? ”

"Huh?" Zhu Lian was stunned, he really hadn't thought about it: "No one will dare to mess around in the county lord's territory, right?" ”

"The one in the palace has been assassinated! I'm a broken county lord, what a face you have for me! ”

"You'll have to pay attention to that later. I'm here to ask you something. Gu Qing smiled and said, "You are fifteen years old this year, have you ever thought about marrying someone or marrying a daughter-in-law?" ”

Zhu Lian's face suddenly turned red, and she didn't know what to say.

"You kid, why are you still ashamed." Gu Qing shook his head, "I told you a good family matter, and I will officially come to the door to propose a ...... in a few days."

Zhu Lian panicked all of a sudden: "County Lord, I'm still ...... young"

Gu Qing couldn't help laughing, with this look, it was obvious that there was someone in his heart.

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh, it's still young! That's okay, I originally wanted to propose marriage to the Zhao family, I think this girl is very good, thinking that the fat water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, so I quickly told you...... But since you said that you are still young, forget it, I will find a good family for the eldest girl again, and the boy of the Zhou family is not bad......"

"County Lord!" Zhu Lian's eyes were anxious, her face was as red as a boiled shrimp, and her voice instantly lowered, "It's, in fact, I'm not small......"

With that, he turned and ran into the storeroom.

Gu Qing laughed: "This kid, I really can't hide my thoughts at all!" Xia Zhu, you ask Mama Zhu to go to the city to buy some gifts for marriage and come back, take a moment, let's officially go to the door to propose marriage and settle the matter between the two. ”

Thinking about what Aunt Zhao said when she left, Gu Qing went to the Gu family's old house again.

This matter must be reminded to the old mansion.

The courtyard of the old house was a little cold, the men were on the side of the cattle farm with a few children, and Mrs. Gu and the Song family sent food. Gu Tao was washing clothes in the yard, and the youngest Gu Lu was sweeping the floor.

"County Lord, why are you here?" Sun stood up with a big belly and brought a low stool to Gu Qing, "Lulu, you pour a cup of tea for the county lord." ”

Gu Lu staggered in, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing asked, "Second aunt, your belly is so big, are you about to give birth?" ”

"It's still early, it's two months away." Sun touched his stomach and smiled mysteriously, "A few days ago, I went to the city to see the doctor, and the doctor said that it might be twins!" ”

Gu Qing: "......"

This is to make the child stunned.

"Second aunt, our village has been mixed recently, don't go out if you have a big belly, if you want to buy something, let Peach Meng'er go!"

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Not only was Sun not afraid, but he also gossiped on his face: "County Lord, you tell me a good story!" ”

"I'll tell you the truth, and you tell me the story?" Gu Qing was helpless: "Gu Laojiu was beaten up by someone yesterday, and he can't get out of bed today." Second aunt, don't go out recently, or you'll ......"

Gu Qing's gaze fell on Sun's high bulging belly, and he didn't continue.

"I know, I know!" Sun protected his stomach with his hands, "I won't go out, I'll start tomorrow, but whenever I'm home alone, I'll lock the door from the inside!" ”
