Chapter 458 Sweet Talk
There is a type of person who is very good at sweet words, love words, etc. He can coax his wife to smile and wish she could treat him as an ancestor.
Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts coming to your door.
After taking a bath, Gu Erzhu slumped on the kang like an old man, crossed his legs, and Mrs. Liu trimmed his long toenails.
While he was eating pastries and snacks, he kept telling his wife about Zhao Laosan's ridiculous love affairs outside the home, so that his wife could understand that she was trusting someone.
A Taoist friend who will die in poverty will never die.
She must make her daughter-in-law understand that Gu Yangwu was indeed the right one when she chose him because she had the discerning eye to recognize a hero. Anyone like him is still a well-deserved gentleman!
"...It can be seen that it is not easy for this person to not only have the money on his body to be bold enough to be an uncle, but also to have a daughter-in-law who cares about his family.
I miss you all the time. Every time I stay in a place for two days, I always think about what I can bring you that you will miss and that will make you laugh.
Zhao Laosan said that I care about you in my heart. It’s not a joke. I don’t care about you. I wanted to marry you even though I was an unfilial son.
Don't look at the fact that he has concubines and other concubines. In fact, I know that he is always envious of me. Not only do I have the blessing of a good wife, he also envies the fact that each of my in-laws is better than the last.
This time, as soon as I went out to Zhoujiacun, Mr. Zhou sent two people to protect me personally. Zhao Laosan didn't know about it, and I didn't show off to him.
After meeting up with Zhao Laosan, they went to Zhending Mansion to ship the goods. When they were transferred to Tianjin Wei, they had to take a boat to Liaodong first. Zhao Laosan's face was not easy to use.
At that time, it was Zhou Jin who was sent to me by Mr. Zhao. He took the post and went out for a circle before we boarded the ship and met Cao Yuanwai on time.
I couldn't explain these things in the letter, so I really didn't suffer much while I was away. Even when I came back and took the boat south to separate from Zhao Laosan later, it went smoothly.
Thanks to Mr. Zhou, I have learned a lot along the way. But—" Gu Erzhu hesitated, "I wonder if I am suspicious. ”
Ms. Liu listened well.
Seeing Gu Erzhu suddenly reveal a secret, he couldn't help but stop his hand, put his ear close to him and listened quietly, but he didn't expect that there seemed to be another secret.
My heart trembled.
"What do you say?"
Gu Erzhu frowned and shook his head, "Logically speaking, since Mr. Zhou sent the two Zhou Jin to personally protect me, they shouldn't leave my side, right?
But wherever they go, the two of them seem to take turns leaving one of them by my side, while the other disappears.
One of them was guarding me, and the other went outside to inquire about the news. It seemed like it was nothing and it was very reasonable, but I always felt like they had other things to be busy with.
This is also the reason why I separated from Zhao Laosan halfway. Zhao Laosan is a ghost. Who knows if he will find out what he said to Boss Zhao.
I was thinking that Zan Liulang had mentioned to me that Master Gao and Master Zhou were not even from the same sect, and I thought that Boss Zhao and Master Zhou were even closer to each other.
I don’t know if it was my imagination, but when I passed by Zhoujia Village after I came back, I observed carefully and felt that Mr. Zhou seemed to treat me better.
It’s not that he neglected me before, but——” Gu Erzhu didn’t know what words to use to express his personal feelings.
"Yes, I understand what you mean." Mrs. Liu patted him comfortingly, "It's like saying that Mr. Zhou has less smiles on his face, but his words are more sincere?" "Yes, that's pretty much what it means. I think It's not because Sanya is pregnant with our grandchildren, she seems to treat me as a close friend.
Before he came back, he said that even if he needed to leave Zhoujia Village temporarily, Sanya would have my sincere protection in Qinghe Village, which would be better than Sanya's father being here.
He also told me that if I felt something was wrong at home and I didn't have time to contact him, I didn't want to find the Zhao family and shopkeeper Wang, but I could use the post to find Cheng Jiaoyu.
He also said that our current county magistrate will be transferred after the year. If nothing goes wrong, even if Cheng Jiaoyu is from the city, there will be an acquaintance who will serve as the county magistrate.
He said that this acquaintance was either known by Liu Lang or the acquaintance's wife. Sanya also knew the details, so she would know who she was when the time came.
Furthermore, he also told me about his arrangements for Rokuro and Oe. He said that he had seen articles written by Rokuro and Oe these days.
He doesn't plan to let Ojiang take the provincial examination next August. We Liulang can give it a try, but if he wants to win Jieyuan, he thinks it's better to wait and take the exam later.
However, he also said that Zanliu Lang is different from Dajiang. There is still more than half a year. With Zanliu Lang's talent, it is not impossible to come back with a Jieyuan next year.
Of course, for the sake of safety, it would be safer to wait until the next provincial examination, but our Liulang does not have an official career now, and it is better to let Liulang make his own decision according to Mr. Zhou's wishes.
Like Zhou Xiucai, he was very optimistic about Liu Lang, and he also said that Liu Lang was a boy with a very upright idea. It sounds like he thought highly of Liu Lang more than the eldest son of the Zhou family.
Originally, according to Mr. Zhou's idea, if Sanya was not pregnant this year, he would take the young couple to Jiangnan for a walk during his free time.
This is also the reason why he sent Chang Qing and his wife to assist Liu Lang and his wife early. He said that with Chang Qing and his wife around, the government would not dare to touch his niece's ideas.
When he said this, he didn't mean to show off in front of me. He just said that even if Sanya didn't have his uncle to protect her, it was not something that the Gaofu could do.
Judging from the meaning behind his words, although Sanya’s master left in a hurry, he probably left Sanya with some life-saving connections, and even Sanya herself doesn’t know——”
"Dad, dad, mom, I'm back."
"Hahaha, our boss is back, dad heard it, come in quickly. You kid, you are so old, you already have two children, and you jump into the house like you haven't grown up yet."
"No matter how old I am, I am not your son. Not to mention having two children as a father, I have two grandsons as a grandfather. I am still a little baby in front of you and my mother!"
"..." Being interrupted by such a sudden interruption, Mrs. Liu temporarily forgot what she wanted to say, "Hahaha..."
Baby?
Gu Erlang raised the corner of his mouth and explained, "As Liulang said, who is not a little baby? Dad, you have lost weight and become darker. Come, my son will give you a safety check-up."
"You're not thin, but you're strong. Before you came back, in Zhoujia Village, your Uncle Zhou asked the doctor to check his pulse." After saying this, Gu Erzhu still stretched out his hand.
Gu Erlang pulled it over with one hand, but without the pulse pillow, he casually took the dry kerchief Gu Erzhu had twisted his hair into, wrapped it up, and put his father's wrist on it.
A moment of silence.
"How's it going?"
"It's not bad, but I still need to take good care of myself and ask the kitchen to prepare more vegetarian dishes for my father. Doesn't Rokuro know that my father is back?"
