The village chief was also thinking of Song Si, although 10% is not much, but more than 200 mu of land adds up to a lot, Song Si has to go to the capital next year to catch the examination, so it is good to have more silver for his life.
“No need, it’s better to let them hang it for free.”
“How can that work? Not to mention the fact that you need silver to go back to the academy again, even if you go to catch the exam next year, you will need a lot of silver.
Song Si couldn’t say anything about selling the pills, so she could only lie, “Master Gu said that he could sponsor me then.”
The village headman was relieved, Master Gu was so rich that he could just take out some of it.
At that moment, he stopped smoking, “Those old guys have approached me several times, saying they want to put the field under your name, I’ve pushed them off several times, I’ll go and tell them now, they’ll be overjoyed one by one.”
……
“Yue’er ……”
Song San Xiao stood at the door of his house and waved at Song Wan Yue, waiting for her to pass, he pulled her into the house and immediately closed the door, attentively wiping his bed with his sleeve and wiping it again and again, “Yue’er, sit down.”
Song Wan Yue raised her eyebrows, “Third Uncle, what bad things are you trying to trap me into doing again?”
“Who is trying to trick you? You didn’t pit …… that time.”
Song San Xiao subconsciously retorted, halfway through his sentence he reacted, paused, and laughed heatedly twice, “Yue’er ah, third uncle to inquire about something for you.”
“Say.”
“How old is that Miss Qi?”
Song Wangyue looked at him.
Song San Xiao rubbed his hands together, bent down and lowered his voice with a red face, “Third Uncle I’m not going to hide it from you, the first time I saw Miss Qi today, my heart was puffing and pounding.”
“Third uncle ah ……”
Song Wan Yue stretched her voice, “There is water in the bucket outside, you go to shine.”
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at your face.
“I said you ……”
Song Wan Yue word for word, “is – toad – want – to eat – swan – meat – ah.”
Song San Xiao’s smile froze on his face.
Then he sat down heavily on the bed, “Are you allowed to say that about Third Uncle? Third Uncle is at least old enough to have a girl of his choice ……”
“The first thing you need to do is to get a good drink. This time you are saying that you are not too young.”
“That, that is a time and a place, I did not meet Miss Qi then, of course I said so; I met now, I want to marry him.”
“Ah third uncle ……”
Song Wan Yue patted his hand comfortingly, “Just give up your heart, you don’t know how famous the Wei Yuan Bodyguard Bureau is in the county! I don’t know how many people want to ask to marry sister Qi Ying. I don’t know how many people want to marry Qi Ying. With your condition, it’s better for you not to have any thoughts that you shouldn’t have.”
“You ……”
Song San waved his hand in a petty manner, “Go, go, go, Third Uncle loves you for nothing on a regular basis.”
Song Wangyue really got up and walked out, glancing back at the house, the smile at the corner of her mouth disappearing.
Qi Ying’s preference was for big brother, and even if it didn’t work out, he wouldn’t look at third uncle, and it was better to shatter his illusions now than to suffer later when he was really unavailable.
Thinking of this, he knocked on the door of Song Si’s house.
“Come in.”
Song Wangyue pushed the door in.
Song Si was packing his book basket, and Song Shen had gone to deliver the borrowed bench and was not in the house.
“Something wrong?”
Song Wan Yue sat down on the bench and opened the door, “Big brother, let me ask you something.”
Song Si didn’t raise his head, “What is it?”
“How do you feel about sister Qiying?”
Song Si paused in her tidying up, her eyebrows knitted together, “She told you to ask?”
“No, I just see that Sister Qiying is interested in you and am curious what you think of her?”
Song Si’s eyebrows instantly loosened and she lowered her head to clean up again, “Nothing I feel!”
“No way? Sister Qi Ying is pretty, she knows martial arts and is bright and generous, it’s not easy to find a girl like that.”
“Even if she’s good, it’s none of my business.”
“Then what kind does big brother like?”
Song Si paused again and flexed his fingers to tap her forehead, “At your young age, you worry a lot.”
“I’m not young anymore, I’m getting engaged in a few days.”
Song Si couldn’t resist knocking her again, “You’re too old to be engaged? Even if you marry someone later, you’re still younger than your big brother.”
……
When Master Zhang returned to the house, he hurriedly went to see Zhang Huai and stayed in his room for more than an hour before coming out.
He went to the study, opened a hidden compartment, took a medicine bottle out from it, clutched it in his hand, and called out to the housekeeper to come in, “Have someone go and buy some hankies for girls and come back.”
The housekeeper answered and quickly had them bought.
Master Zhang laid two of the handkerchiefs flat on the table, uncorked the bottle and sprinkled the medicine on them, watched them slowly dry, picked them up and smelled them, not smelling anything.
He put the bottle back into the hidden compartment, put the rest of the hankies away and took the spilled hankies back to the main courtyard.
“Master has returned.”
Mrs. Zhang rose to greet her, Master Zhang gave a hint and placed several brightly coloured hankies on the table, “I passed by the embroidery workshop today and saw someone coming out with the hankies I had just bought, they were very pretty, so I bought a few for Yao’er.”
Madam Zhang was overjoyed, since the last incident, Master had obviously treated Yao’er less well than before, now that she had bought her some handkerchiefs, did it mean that Master had forgiven Yao’er?
“You can send it to her. By the way, we will go to Yuan’s house again tomorrow and bring Yao’er with us. She has always been on good terms with that child Min’er, perhaps if she goes, she will wake the boy up from his coma.”
“Good.”
Madam Zhang cheerfully agreed.
……
The Gu family.
Gu Yi once again asked his underlings to bring out the betrothal gifts and he went through them carefully.
This was already the first time he had looked at it for an unknown number of times. Madam Gu shook her head helplessly, while Master Gu stroked his beard and looked at it with a smile.
Madam Gu remembered something, “Master, when Yi’er is betrothed, will you give a word to Hui’er and Wen’er?”
Thinking of Gu Hui’s attitude towards Song Wan Yue, Master Gu said, “Hui’er is not necessary, let Wen’er come back, she came back on the 15th of August and didn’t see Yi’er, it’s just as well to let her come back to see.”
“Let Hui’er come back too, I haven’t seen Bao’er for a long time and miss him.”
Mrs Gu looked to Master Gu.
Master Gu nodded his head.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, two carriages stopped back and forth in front of the Gu family.
Gu Hui got down from the front carriage with Bao’er in her arms, and Gu Wen let her maid help her down as well; she was already six months pregnant and walked very slowly.
“Eldest sister.”
Gu Hui smiled and turned around, softly, “Slow down.”
Gu Wen walked up to her, “How did little brother suddenly get engaged, I hadn’t heard my parents mention this when I came on August 15th.”
