I think I cried because I met Mrs. Cui and saw that her home was not living well.

However, Mrs. Xia often cried and whined. Gu Jinli was used to it and was too lazy to pay attention to her. He only asked: "Why did Mrs. Xia come to me? I am very busy and have no time to chat with Mrs. Xia."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xia's eyes were about to well up with tears again, but she held back and said to Gu Jinli: "I'm here to deliver a letter to Xiaoyu today. Can you let me in to talk?"

"Send a letter? It's from Guanzhu Hu?" Gu Jinli laughed and said, "Every time, Guanzhu Hu writes a letter to make peace with me. I've used this trick twice, and I'm tired of you even if you don't."

Mrs. Xia said: "This time is different, please be sure to read it."

Gu Jinli looked at her and said, "Bring the letter."

ah?

Mrs. Xia was a little confused.

Gu Jinli: "Bring the letter, aren't you here to deliver it? Just give me the letter and you can go back."

Mrs. Xia has lived a life of being respected by others in her life, but since she came to Qingfu Town, she has been slapped in the face several times by Gu Jinli. It is a lie to say that she is not aggrieved, but what can she do?

"Here you go." Mrs. Xia took out two letters and handed them to Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli raised his eyebrows and accepted them all.

After Mrs. Xia saw that she had taken the letter, she had no intention of inviting her to sit in the house, so she could only say goodbye.

Before leaving, she bowed to Gu Jinli and squatted down so low that Gu Jinli was afraid that she would lose her balance and sit on the ground.

"What happened before was that we, the couple, overstepped our bounds. Please don't argue with us... We, the couple, had no intention of robbing the child. Now we have figured it out. We just ask that we can continue to teach Brother Cheng." After Mrs. Xia finished speaking,

Instead of staying any longer, he turned around and left. There was no point in staying. Gu Jinli had to decide with Gu Jinan.

Seeing Mrs. Xia being so groveling, Mrs.

Naturally, the girl doesn’t dare to look down on you.”

Mrs. Xia had the same idea before. She wanted to win over Gu Jinxiu and teach her the rules of aristocratic girls, so that she could make the decision to marry her in the future. But after seeing Gu Jinxiu today, she felt a murmur in her heart... Sister Xiu was obviously not happy.

Very willing to get close to her.

"Let's take another look, don't be too impatient."

Now the Gu family is dissatisfied with the couple and will not get close to them. Wait and see in two years. By then, I think they will be able to have a good relationship with Sister Xiu.

After Mrs. Xia came out of the workshop, she went to Gu's house, only sat for a while and then left.

Gu Jinli looked at the two letters in the workshop. One was written by Hu Guanzhu himself, and the other contained a deed of sale.

This deed of sale has turned yellow and looks very old. The name on it is Xia Yunsheng.

Hu Guanzhu wrote in the letter that Xia Yunsheng was Xia Gu's great-grandfather. He used to be a servant of the Lu family. Because of his good knowledge, he was recommended by the Lu family to become an official.

Although the imperial examination originated in the previous dynasty, the previous dynasty was not only a system for selecting officials through the imperial examination, but also had an older recommendation system, which was similar to the system for officials in the Han Dynasty.

Many aristocratic families would recommend their servants and retainers to serve as officials, and the Xia family became prosperous from this.

Xia Yunsheng was grateful for the kindness of the Lu family. From then on, all boys born in the family would be sent to the Lu family to be their retainers and work for the Lu family.

Guanzhu Hu gave this deed of sale to Gu Jinli in order to tell her Mr. Xia's true identity, put her at ease, and give her something she could use to manipulate Mr. Xia.

In the end, Guanzhu Hu made it clear that they wanted Brother Cheng to be the heir to the Lu family and inherit the incense of the Lu family, but in the end he promised Gu Jinli: If the Gu family did not agree, they would not force it. They only asked the Gu family to continue to let Brother Cheng go to Xia.

She takes classes at home and lets Mr.

If this was said by Mr.

Although Guanzhu Hu is also from the Lu family and has a purpose in helping her, Guanzhu Hu has been practicing Qing Dynasty for many years and has seen through many things in the world. She really will not force him to have an heir.

Gu Jinli put away the letter and the deed of betrayal, and went back to making instant medicine. He was busy until the afternoon, and then he took Xiaoji to find Ah Pian: "Are the egg whites and egg yolks ready?"

Brother Qin was not here, so she could only ask A Pian and the others to fight.

"It's ready, little boss." Ah Pian beat the eggs for two hours like a fool. His hands were so sore that he almost cried. After handing the beaten egg whites and yolks to Xiao Ji, he asked: "Little boss, here they are."

, what are you beating eggs for?"

Tell me quickly, otherwise I will die with my eyes open.

Gu Jinli: "Let's make a cake and eat it."

Ah Pian was about to cry: "How long do you beat eggs just to make cakes?"

Forgive him for being stupid, but I really can't figure out why it takes so long to beat eggs to eat a cake.

"...Little boss, I will work hard in the future. Don't let me crack eggs, okay?" Ah Piao felt that he must have failed to do his job well and made the young boss angry, so he tortured him with eggs.

he.

Gu Jinli smiled: "It depends on the situation. If you work hard and practice martial arts well, everything will be easy."

After that, regardless of Ah Piao's mournful face, he took Xiaoji home.

"Second sister, you are back, let's make cakes to eat." Brother Cheng couldn't wait any longer. When he saw Gu Jinli coming home, he immediately rushed over.

Gu Jinli raised the basin with egg yolks high and said to him: "Okay, I'll make it for you. Come and help in the kitchen."

"Yeah!" Brother Cheng was very happy and went to the kitchen to help make cakes.

Gu Jinxiu also put away the embroidery shed, changed into a coarse cloth jacket, and brought Sister Li and Zhu Camellia to the kitchen to help.

Several people worked in the kitchen for an hour and finally finished the cake.

"We will keep one at home, and this one will be cut and sent to Robert's family, Grandma Yan's family, Aunt Tian's family, and Brother Wang's family." Gu Jinli divided the other cake into four parts and asked Xiao Ji to send them to several families.

When Xiao Ji came back, he had two more baskets in his hand, which were birthday gifts from the four families to Brother Cheng.

Farm children would not give too expensive gifts on their birthdays. According to custom, they would just give them some eggs and flour.

"This red cotton hat was made by Xiaohua from Aunt Tian's family. It was said to be a gift for Brother Cheng." Xiaoji specially took out the hat made by Tian Xiaohua.

Gu Jinli took the hat, touched it, and said with a smile: "The hat is really thick and stuffed with a lot of cotton. Xiaohua is very thoughtful."

Although Tian Xiaohua is young, she is sensible and capable. After she no longer prepares spices, she either goes to the shop to help or goes to the village to look for wasteland, saying that she wants to get more wasteland to plant aphid grass and save money.

"Here, put it on for you." Gu Jinli put the red cotton hat on Brother Cheng's head.

Brother Cheng said coyly: "Don't wear the red ones. These are worn by girls. Brother Cheng is a boy."
