Chapter 838
838 Chapter 838-drenched
By February, Lu Zheng’s injuries had healed. Grandma Xiao even suspected that her grandson had a strong self-healing ability.
After confirming that he could walk, uncle Gu was the happiest.
Last year, the two of them had worked together for the spring plowing and autumn harvest.
The potatoes that he had planted during the winter had been harvested. Lu Zheng immediately asked the people in the manor to plant more. This way, when he entered the capital in the second half of the year, he could transport more seeds over. The Emperor could also distribute more seeds to various places.
The Gu family’s siblings were still training hard. It was not until the end of February that they were completely used to the sandbags, but Gu shouxin immediately added more weight to the sandbags.
The Gu siblings were miserable. Gu Ren clapped his chubby little hands and cheered. I’m so happy to see you guys unhappy!
At the end of February, Gu Nian finally received li Muyan’s letter. She felt relieved.
Li Muyan’s letter didn’t mention anything else. He only said that he had fallen seriously ill after the last time and had been lying in bed for more than a month. He didn’t want anyone else to write on his behalf.
As he had not received any letters from Gu Nian, he thought that she was still angry. This time, he had mustered his courage to write her a letter.
He expressed his sincerity, his carefulness, his reluctance, and his fear.
Gu Nian replied to him with a letter and told him about her life. She said that she would not be able to go to the prefecture in the short term and that they could only communicate through letters.
Then, the two of them started the days of exchanging letters.
Gu Xin, on the other hand, had been communicating with Huo Yanyu and Xie Zhiyi through letters. Xie Zhiyi was envious of Gu Xin. She had her brothers and sisters to practice martial arts with her every day. She also wanted to participate. Huo Yanyu was not that envious. She knew her own body well. She could not handle that kind of strength.
The Huo siblings were smart, but they were not very strong in martial arts. They had hired martial arts masters to protect them. Huo Yanyu had an 18-year-old maid, and Huo Junhao had a 20-year-old manservant. They did not bring them to the village at the crossroads, so they would not be bullied. With their intelligence, they would not be easily bullied.
……
The village examination was on the 5th of March.
This time, Gu shouxin didn’t take care of the children. He let them obediently complete the task he assigned at home. He even asked grandma Gu to supervise them.
Well, the most prestigious person in the family was not Gu shouxin, but grandma Gu!
You can still act coquettishly with Gu shouxin, but you can’t do it with grandma Gu.
The couple went out on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. It was raining heavily for five days.
On the afternoon of the sixth day, Gu Nian was about to return the book to grandma Xiao with a straw Cape and bamboo hat when she saw the Li family’s carriage at the entrance of grandma Xiao’s house.
“Ah Dong, it’s raining. Why don’t you come over?” Gu Nian waved. Li Muyan is too much, he’s not even afraid of the road slipping in the rain!”
Without waiting for ah Dong to speak, the curtain of the carriage was lifted and Li Muyan jumped out. He stood in front of Gu Nian and smiled. “Niannian, I missed you so much.”
Gu Nian looked at li Muyan in shock. After a while, she returned to her senses and pushed li Muyan into the car.”You fool, don’t you know how to wear a bamboo hat? My hair is all wet!”
Li Muyan wanted to pull Gu Nian into the car.
give me a moment. I’m going to grandma Xiao’s place to put something down. I’ll be out soon! Gu Nian slapped his hand away.
As she spoke, Gu Nian turned around to return the book.
Grandma Xiao asked Gu Nian to stay for a while, but Gu Nian ran out of the room after saying a few words.
In the end, she saw li Muyan standing in the rain. She was speechless. She ran over and pulled li Muyan onto the carriage.
