Chapter 1196 Tuesday

A group of fellow villagers from my hometown are here?

Gu Jinli rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, yawned and asked, "Where are they from? Whose last name are they? Are they from a town in the same county or from another county? Who let them in?"

Gu Jinli asked several questions in succession, and the last one was the most critical.

When she learned that the emperor was going to impose additional taxes, she had already told Wang Yongfu and the others not to let anyone in except those who came to pick up the goods, even people they knew.

If she knows who dares to disobey orders, don't blame her for being rude.

Xiao Ji said: "They are fellow villagers from the northwest. They said they escaped the famine with the little boss. They came from Niugou Town, and their surnames are Zhou and Lin. The third grandfather and the third grandmother seemed to like them very much. Knowing that they were here, let them Uncle Wang let them in."

Are the third grandpa and the third grandma going to see you?

Gu Jinli squinted for a while, feeling quite sober. He finally remembered that the Zhou family and the Lin family...these two families did flee the famine with them, and were assigned to the same county, but they were in different villages, so they were far apart. connect.

This sudden visit must be to borrow money to pay taxes.

Gu Jinli got up and changed his clothes, casually tied his hair into a bun, opened the door and went to the next room to brush his teeth and wash his face, and asked: "Where is my sister? Go find her and bring her back. There are too many people. What if someone with no eyesight gets caught?" If you hit me, you'll be sick for a while."

Zhou Lin's family has a large population. There were more than fifty people when they fled to He'an Mansion. With so many people, they may not all be of good character, and there may be bachelors who have bad intentions in marrying their wives.

Yes, her mind is so dark and she doesn't trust people.

"Xiaoyu, eldest sister is here. Don't worry. Sister Youli is protecting me." Gu Jinxiu carried a food box into the yard. When she heard this, she smiled very happily. This kind of being protected by her younger brothers and sisters It feels really good.

but……

"Sister, I know how to punch and kick. You don't have to worry so much every time." Gu Jinxiu also escaped from the famine and knew how to be wary of people. She didn't want Xiaoyu, An Ge'er, or even Cheng Ge'er to worry too much about her.

Gu Jinli smiled and said: "I know that eldest sister can punch and kick, and she has poison in her hands. It is definitely no problem to protect herself, but I am used to it. I always feel that eldest sister is weak and I am afraid that something will happen to her."

After hanging up the cotton towel, she said to Gu Jinxiu: "Sister, just stay in the yard. Don't go anywhere. I'll go out and take a look."

"Old Zhou and Lin just arrived. I'm afraid he won't leave so early. You should have something to eat before you go." Gu Jinxiu greeted Gu Jinli, went to the main room in the courtyard, and took out the breakfast in the food box.

Gu Jinli was also a little hungry. After eating two cakes and a bowl of porridge, he took Xiao Ji and left. Before he left the back house, he met Er Qing.

Erqing stopped the two girls and said: "Miss Zhou, Miss Lin, this is the inner house, and beyond that is the yard of the two girls from the servant's house. Don't break in."

"Slave? Are you a servant of the Gu family?" The girl looked at Er Qing on Tuesday and felt very uncomfortable. They all came here to escape the famine, but the life of the Gu family was much better than that of her own family. Even the clothes worn by the servants were not made of the same material. Better than what she had.

Erqing: "Yes, I am a servant of the Gu family."

The girl smiled on Tuesday: "Since you are a servant, then go and inform us and tell Sister Gu and Second Sister Gu that we are here to see them."

He added: "We escaped from famine together with the two sisters of the Gu family, and we have experienced hardships together. We have a very good relationship, and it is a rare trip. If the eldest sister Gu and the second sister Gu hear that we are coming, they will be very happy. no."

Gu Jinli frowned. When had she ever become familiar with the Zhou girl?

When they were fleeing from famine, Mr. Zhou Laolin saw that there were people who knew how to box and kick, and wanted to ask for asylum, so he took two families with them. When something happened, Mr. Zhou Laolin would come over to talk. At most, each of them would bring one of his sons, but he didn't. The granddaughter came to see them.

Erqing refused: "I'm sorry, Miss Tuesday, this is the back house. I also ask the two girls to go to the front yard to stay with the elders first, and don't wander around."

What does it look like to go to other people's homes as guests, and instead of staying with the elders, you barge into other people's homes?

The girl was a little angry on Tuesday. In fact, when she came into the back house, besides wanting to meet Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jinli, she also wanted to see if she could bump into Gu Jinan?

The news that Gu Jinan was selected as a scholar and became Jianghuai's second junior San Yuanlang also spread to Xializi Village in Niugou Town, causing a sensation in that poor ravine.

Because the Zhou family and the Lin family knew the Gu family, they received many gifts from wealthy families in the village and even the town. They just wanted to curry favor with them and ask them to make introductions to meet Gu Xiucai.

The girl on Tuesday was two years older than Gu Jinli, already seventeen, and she had already reached the age of marriage, but because she came here to escape from poverty, it meant that the person she wanted to marry was a high-ranking person and a low-ranking one.

Moreover, there are a few gangsters in the village who often come to bother her, which makes her very scared. Even the eldest sister's man...

The girl on Tuesday was very upset because of her marriage. After hearing that Gu Jinan was admitted to the scholar's examination, her mind suddenly moved and she made her idea come to Gu Jinan.

But when she came here, her grandfather warned her not to do anything embarrassing. If the family couldn't borrow money, she should look good!

The girl felt aggrieved on Tuesday, but she never thought of giving up. If she could get along with Gu Jinan, and the family would benefit from it, her grandfather would not blame her, but would only praise her for doing the right thing.

Miss Lin Si said: "Girl, please don't be angry. We were looking for a hut and didn't know the way, so we turned here."

Miss Lin was wronged. She was deceived by the second sister of the Zhou family and had no intention of breaking in.

"Sister Tuesday, let's go back quickly and stop running around. We are here as guests, running around is very unruly." Miss Lin Si grabbed girl Tuesday's hand and wanted to pull her away.

The girl on Tuesday suppressed her anger and wanted to throw away Lin Si's hand, but she didn't want to make it too embarrassing, so she could only endure it. She grabbed Lin Si's hand and said, "Fourth sister, don't you also want to meet the Gu family?" Two sisters? Why did we regret it when we were about to meet? So fickle, really, alas..."

The girl on Tuesday sighed, secretly complained to Lin Siyi, and said to Erqing: "Since you are in trouble, we won't make it difficult for you. Let's go back to the front yard first, and bother you to go talk to the Gu family The eldest sister said that her girl from the Zhou family and the Lin family is here, and if it is convenient, we would like to meet her and catch up on old times."

She remembered that the eldest girl of the Gu family was a fool, with a soft heart, and was very particular about rules. When she knew they were coming, she would come out to see them out of politeness.

If you want to take down Gu Jinan, you have to take down the Gu sisters first.

It's a pity that Gu Jinxiu has been taught by Gu Jinli for several years, and she is no longer the girl she used to be who would do things she doesn't like out of shame.

"Okay, I will tell the eldest girl, you two, go on your way." Erqing agreed casually and sent Miss Tuesday away.

Gu Jinli waited for them to leave before taking Xiao Ji out.
