Chapter 2234: slipped away
Chapter 2234 slipped away
He quickly looked at Zhiqin Zhiya and asked them with his eyes.
The two of them didn't dare to say anything. They only took care of Cui Xiniang, who was still pretending to be faint.
The master of the Xu family's nursing home didn't dare to hide it, so he whispered the matter into Xu Liang's ear.
What?
Xu He hugged his aunt in public.
You bastard, you are seeking death!
Xu Liang was so angry that he wanted to tear Xu He to pieces, but now was not the time to talk about this matter, and he couldn't bring it up. The best way was not to mention it, and let this bad thing be forgotten slowly.
But when he glanced at the Qianhu ladies present, at least seventy of them had gossipy eyes in their eyes, and they were afraid that this matter would be spread among them.
What should I do? How should I stop these people? !
But these are the ladies of Qianhu, and it is impossible to silence them. Xu Liang could not think of a good way, so he could only whisper to the master: "Send someone back to the camp to find Mr. Qianshan and tell him about this."
Only Mr. Qianshan's intervention can control the gossip that is about to break out.
Mrs. Situ sneered when she saw it, did she know she was in a hurry? Then why let a concubine come out to hold a banquet to meet people!
Mrs. Bai almost burst into tears when she heard Mrs. Situ's sneer, but she had to smooth things over: "Mrs. Situ, you ladies are tired from visiting the garden and hunting for treasures. Why don't you let them have a dinner first and rest in the house after eating?"
Mrs. Situ couldn't bear it anymore and asked her: "With so many things going on, who can sleep?"
Mrs. Bai shed tears when she was asked and did not dare to speak.
After hearing this, Xu Liang came to his senses and quickly asked for instructions: "What does Mrs. Situ mean?"
This banquet was used by the Xu family to win over the ladies from Qianhu, and because the road was far away, they arranged for the ladies to stay one night at Qihe Village and go back tomorrow.
Mrs. Situ said: "The banquet has been finished, and you ladies still have to take care of the affairs of the guard house. Please send your ladies away."
This is the best way. Xu Liang hurriedly sent someone to make arrangements.
As the person who co-organized the banquet, Mrs. Bai personally escorted the ladies of Qianhuo out one by one: "Today's reception is not good. When the Chinese New Year comes, the Marquis Mansion will hold another banquet to reward everyone. Then we will get together again and eat It’s a pleasure.”
She thought silently in her heart: Next time Cui Xiniang holds a banquet, she will never come to show Cui Xiniang’s face!
Mrs. Shi and the others didn't mind: "How can we not provide good hospitality? We enjoyed the banquet today, but it's a pity that the treasures haven't been found yet, so we lost a lot of money."
There are still some gossips that haven’t been finished... Mrs. Situ really wants them to finish reading the gossips. It’s half-finished and there’s no result. I’ll have to worry about it for a while when I get back!
Mrs. Shi would like to ask Mrs. Bai if Xu He and Aunt Cui have any old friendship?
But she wasn't stupid, so she didn't ask. Instead, she asked: "Those Lan family members won't be executed, right? It's better not to kill them. They are quite pitiful. Keeping them alive is a blessing. Maybe they will be blessed." By accumulating money, Mr. Hou and Aunt Cui will have children in their old age!"
I just don’t know if there really is an old man. Is he the son of Marquis Xu?
Seeing the excitement in Mrs. Shi's eyes, Mrs. Bai almost lost her composure. She ignored her gossip and said, "Master Hou's family has always been kind, and Mrs. Situ said that Qihe Village is a blessed land and you cannot kill animals here. The Lan family will definitely be safe and sound."
"Really?" Mrs. Shi had an expression of disbelief on her face, and then smiled and said: "That puts me at ease. The Lan family is really pitiful. There was such a big cut on their feet and there was so much blood. If you want to come here to dig for gold, it must be because your family really can't survive, so you might as well give them a way out..."
"Mrs. Bai, it's getting late. Let's go say goodbye to the other ladies without delaying your visit." Mrs. Cao saw that Mrs. Bai's face turned dark and hurriedly dragged Mrs. Shi away.
Mrs. Bai almost cried... Cui Xiniang got into trouble, why should she be embarrassed!
But she had to cheer up and continue to see off the guests. Her face froze with laughter before she saw off more than a hundred ladies from Qianhu.
Xu Liang even took the nuns to send gifts to the ladies. Because something happened, he gave each of them an extra one hundred taels of silver notes and asked them not to go out and talk nonsense. "Mrs. Zhang, we are chatting." Mrs. Shi was on the second line of defense and was familiar with Mr. Han. Seeing her talking to Gu Jinli, she ran over and said.
Then he smiled at Gu Jinli and said, "Mrs. Qin is indeed a person who can make insect attractants. What she said at the banquet today was really exciting. She helped us get rid of the maids who led the way!"
Be energetic is Mrs. Shi’s mantra.
He frowned again, looked at Gu Jinli and said, "Didn't I say you are ugly? Why are you so good-looking? You don't have any odor on your body, so the rumors are really not credible."
Gu Jinli liked this cheerful Mrs. Shi very much. He pointed at his face with a smile and said, "It's not a rumor. I used to be ugly because I had a lot of acne. Now I'm almost healed. There are only one or two acne and some scars." . But if you don’t take good care of it, acne will still appear in piles, and it will become ugly again.”
I don’t know when the war will happen again. For my own safety, I’d better give up on the reputation of beauty.
Mrs. Shi came over to take a look, and sure enough she saw two or three pimples, and smelled a faint odor. She believed her words, patted her hand, and comforted her: "It's okay, I can take care of it anyway."
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Cao also came to talk to Gu Jinli. The reason was for no other reason than that they wanted to form a good relationship with Gu Jinli so that they could help each other in future wars.
But as evening approached, everyone was in a hurry to go back. They didn’t chat for long and started to pedal away separately.
Han and Gu Jinli took a carriage out of Zhuangzi. In the car, Gu Jinli asked, "Sister-in-law Zhang, would you like to stay with us in Tianhuai Village for one night? The carriage should run faster. We can arrive in two hours. Otherwise, you might be dead tonight." To camp in the wild.”
Han had not seen Gu Jinli and the others for a long time, and wanted to stay with them one more night, but in the end she shook her head: "No, I'll go back with the ladies on the second line of defense. There are more people, so it's safer to go along the way."
Then next is Sister Yu.
"She is alone at home. Although the nuns are taking care of her, I am worried and have to go back early."
Your husband is not worried about her coming to the banquet. He has told her to go back as soon as possible to avoid worrying him.
Han took out another leather bag, handed it to Gu Jinli, and said with a smile, "Sister Yu made this for you, saying that you can use it to hold medicine bags and the like."
Gu Jinli likes to hang some emergency things around his waist. Sister Yu has seen it before and remember it. After the school girl became famous, she made a leather bag for Gu Jinli.
The inside and outside are made of cloth, and the middle is leather, which is waterproof.
Gu Jinli was very happy. He took it and looked at it again and again, and sighed: "Sister Yu has grown up and has such good skills. She can do better embroidery on the bag than me."
Han also nodded happily, very proud of himself for having such a sensible and capable daughter.
Gu Jinli gave Han two prescriptions, one for antidote and one for poison: "The newly made poison can make people comatose faster. When my sister-in-law goes back, she will ask the doctor to make it. The three of you, mother and son, will wear it." Defend yourself.”
Han accepted it and said gratefully: "Brother and sister Qin, thank you very much. If you have any good things, please think of us."
Gu Jinli smiled and said: "We are so familiar with each other, so there is nothing to thank you for."
Han knew her temper, so she said no more polite words and talked to her about other important things.
They couldn't say how long it took. In just two-quarters of an hour, they separated after the carriage left Qihe Village.
