Chapter 1212
1212 Chapter 1212-the furthest
Uncle Gu foolishly thought that he was just farming, but Grandpa and Grandma Gu understood Gu shouxin’s meaning, and the two of them did not remind uncle Gu.
As for Zhang Shi, she would still be in charge of the embroidery room and the family affairs next year. After the conscious training of grandma Gu and Cai Xiaolian, she was now able to take charge of a field. Although she was still as brainless as uncle Gu at home, she was much stronger than the average peasant woman when she stood out.
Gu en of the eldest branch had returned to Qing Province to take part in the imperial examination at the beginning of the year. At present, there were no students in kun province, so the opening examination was not yet held. Gu en still had to return to his ancestral home to take the examination.
He had been gone for more than half a year. The Gu family had arranged for two people for him, one to take care of his daily needs and the other to take care of his safety.
As for Gu si, she would do whatever she did this year.
As for the second branch, Gu shouxin asked for everyone’s opinion. When the time came, they would rest in the Yamen and expand the area of the Yamen. There was no need to specially choose a place to be the magistrate’s office. Everyone had lived here for a year, and it would be quite troublesome to move. Gu shouxin also officially handed over his winery and paper factory to Gu Nian and Gu Xin. The two sisters would each take charge of one factory. Gu Xin could not help Gu Nian.
Gu shouxin could see that his eldest daughter really knew everything, but she was lazy. Previously, because of those rotten peach flowers, she didn’t like to go out and liked to stay in the laboratory. Gu shouxin had to change this habit of hers and make her like when she had just transmigrated.
At this point, Gu shouxin mentioned Gu Nian’s marriage.”Niannian will be eighteen next year. If someone comes to propose next year and niannian likes it, we’ll agree to it. How about we settle this marriage?”
After Gu shouxin finished speaking, everyone looked at Gu Nian.
This time, the whole family did not say much and only listened to Gu Nian’s wishes.
Gu Nian took a deep breath and nodded. “Alright,” he said.
Gu en was overjoyed. He had actually succeeded in giving a gift for someone. He asked happily, ” “Do you want me to give second brother Xue some advice? Let him come and propose?”
The Gu family members all glared at Gu en. Mrs. Zhang smacked him.”It’s not like your second sister can’t get married? You’re going to remind her, but you’re making it seem like our family’s girls are worried about marriage. If he knew, he wouldn’t have come.”
Gu en pouted.’Alright, I was wrong. I was just afraid that second sister would be too beautiful and cause more trouble.’
Gu Nian laughed. It had been four years. First aunt had changed a lot.
Uncle Gu patted Gu en’s head again and said, ” “Do you think Xue Er doesn’t understand? Old brother Xue and old Kang told me that they’ll be coming in the first month of next year, and they even asked me to buy the house for them! Just buy the house in the new city we’re building. I want a three-door house. He said that he had brought a lot of things and was afraid that it wouldn’t fit. I’m guessing he’s here to bring betrothal gifts for our niannian. With old brother Xue’s unreliable style, he’ll probably be able to bring a matchmaker over.”
Gu Nian was confused.
It can’t be. Even though she agreed to it in her heart, Xue Qianyu didn’t seem to have told her. His family was so fast?
Cai Xiaolian continued,”speaking of the new city, sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, and I went to take a look two days ago. It will be on sale at the end of the first month.” If Majesty Kang and Duke Cheng ‘en want it, we’ll pick a good spot for them first. We can let Qian Yu choose Duke Cheng’s side, but for Majesty Kang, Jinghe and Huihui are already out. Are we supposed to make the decision for them?”
Uncle Gu waved his hand and said,”second sister-in-law, that’s no problem!” The two of them said that the further the better. Since Xue ‘er has made his choice, then we’ll give old Kang the one furthest away from him.”
