Countryside Romance

Ji Ge was shocked. He didn't understand why the Huang family would say such words. He waved his hand and said:

"Aunt, why do you have such a thought? Even though I came from the capital, I did not look down on the village ladies. "

Ji Ge was originally a handsome man, but now that he said such kind words, Madam Huang's impression of him increased drastically. She took his hand and said:

"A few days ago, there was a matchmaker. That girl is a very good girl, if you wish to see her, then go and have a look. I'm Mu Yun's mother, so I won't harm you. "

Seeing that she refused to change her mind, Ji Ge wanted to tell her story. He bitterly smiled and said:

"Aunt, I really do have a lover. Don't say such words again."

He knew that such words were not suitable to be said in public, so he went along with Huang Shi and whispered into her ear.

Seeing the two of them whispering to each other, some of the girls thought that Madam Huang was talking to Ji Ge about marriage. They were afraid that others would beat them to it, so they quickly urged the elders beside them to tell them about it.

There were nine large tables in the courtyard, each occupied by eight to nine people. Previously, the tables were packed with at least eighty people, but now, most of them had gathered around Ji Ge and Huang Clan.

When Mu Yun finished cooking and came out to take a look, she saw that Ji Ge was surrounded by people.

His face was flushed. He couldn't handle it.

As for those young ladies, when they saw their elders being so unhelpful, they all personally went forward to help.

In a short while, the banquet actually became a blind date event. The villagers were overflowing with enthusiasm, asking about the future and the future.

Giggle was miserable.

Watching from afar, Mu Yun felt it was funny.

She broke through the crowd and pulled out Ji Ge and Madam Huang.

Lin Jinyan was watching the show from afar.

He felt that this scene was very rare and had no intention of saving Ji Ge. After all, in the past, Ji Ge would always pester Mu Yun, leaving him and Mu Yun with limited time. If there was a girl who could get close to him, it would be very good for him, so he didn't care.

But seeing Mu Yun charge into the crowd, he was afraid that Mu Yun would be injured, so he followed behind her as her protector.

The four of them looked at the fiery scene and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The Lin Clan had just finished their feast, and the Gu Clan was preparing to invite everyone to their banquet.

It turned out that Gu Shenwei's thirty-sixth birthday was coming up in a few days. In general, however, most birthday feasts are held at the age of twenty, thirty, or forty. However, Gu Lingbo thought that 36 years old was the number six and the most lucky …

Moreover, Gu Lingbo's profits were quite bountiful this year. He was even more happy, and this time, the birthday banquet was very lively.

On the day of the banquet, many of the town's squire had come, and it was very lively as they toasted each other.

Before long, it was the auspicious time for giving gifts.

Madam Gu and Gu Lingbo had lived for more than ten years and understood his hobbies the most. She passed over a jade carving of a golden Pi Xiu ring.

Gu Shenwei was very happy to see it.

Pi Xiu represented money. They usually had big mouths, but no buttocks. This meant that the owners of this beast would constantly swallow money, but not reveal any of it.

Gu Lingbo was a merchant, and his favorite auspicious beast was a Pi Xiu.

After handing over the gift, Madam Gu did not withdraw. Instead, she saluted and said:

"This Pixiu is not an ordinary Pixiu." It took me a whole eighty-one days to get the bright jade from the abbot when I went to burn incense and worship Buddha in the temple. After that, I found someone to carve it carefully and became this auspicious beast. This ring not only had the meaning of a auspicious beast, but it was also opened by the abbot. It was the most precious thing of all. "I thought that master's daily activities were more important than money, and that's why I gave him this toy. Old master, please don't mind it."

When everyone heard Madam Gu's considerate explanation, they began to praise her for her virtuous and virtuous character. They had spent so much time and effort on her husband's birthday.

Each and every one of them stood up, saying that they envied Gu Shenwei for having such a matriarch.

Although there were many wives in the Gu Estate, and Gu Shenwei also didn't like Madam Gu, the reason he didn't remove Madam Gu from the position of matriarch was because she had a general understanding of the situation, knew the limits of willfulness, and knew that she had to give him face in front of outsiders.

At this moment, when he heard the praises of the crowd, he felt extremely satisfied in his heart. He ignored the small movements of Madam Gu in the manor.

The wives and concubines beneath him were extremely disdainful. How could Gu Ruoyun have gone to the temple every day to burn incense and worship buddhas? The string of words that came out of her mouth were just fawning on them. Even though they were furious, they knew that now was not the time to talk about this. They forced themselves to smile and boasted about Madam Gu's intentions.

The most different mindset among them was that of Yan Wu and Chen Shi.

The Chen family did not want to please Master Gu, so the gifts they presented were ordinary and did not have any special characteristics.

Gu Lingbo also knew his temper, so he waved his hand for his men to take it away.

San Fang was a woman who had long since lost her love. Gu Dingbo frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything more. After that, she restrained herself a lot, and the present she handed over was even worse than the present from the second room.

When they arrived at Yan Wu, they saw that she first bowed, then took off her cloak. She saw that the clothes inside the cloak were very exposed, and she walked lightly onto the stage. She bowed towards Master Gu and said charmingly:

"A lowly concubine doesn't know jade as well as Madam Gu. She has only been in the manor for a few days, so she doesn't dare to casually guess at Old Master's preferences." However, during the banquet, you must most likely dance and listen to the music and entertain the masses. My daughter was not talented, so she gave it to you just to please you, old master. "

As Yan Wu spoke, he secretly offered a gift to Gu Lingbo, who was sitting on his seat. His watery eyes looked at Master Gu's heart with a rippling gaze.

Since this was the birthday banquet of the family's most powerful leader, Gu Lingbo, no one dared to slack off. Yan Wu was the first person to receive a favor, so he naturally had to put in a lot of effort as well. She had learned this dance for more than a month. She had never slacked off in her daily training, and now that she had jumped out, she was even more quick-witted.

All of the guests sitting below gasped in amazement, their eyes popped out. They couldn't wait to memorize every single one of Yan Wu's actions.

When Old Master Gu saw their reactions, his face lit up even more. After Yan Wu finished his gorgeous dance, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace. While stroking her smooth legs, he smiled and invited everyone to drink.

Yan Wu was acting like a spoiled concubine as he curled up in Gu Ling Bo's arms, never getting up. Even if he was going to drink, he would have to personally help her.

Although the guests were all envious and fawning, they could only smile and say that Gu Linbo was blessed, had a dignified and virtuous wife, and had such a charming and beautiful beautiful concubine.

Gu Lingbo was even more satisfied. He laughed loudly and agreed repeatedly.

The other concubines and concubines, who didn't even have a rank, all revealed looks of jealousy towards Yan Wu. They were usually servants or concubines raised by their families, or women that Gu Linbo had brought over from the outside. They didn't feel that Yan Wu was special. They could only think sourly in their hearts: If this slut could put down her dignity and jump out of this slut, they really couldn't compare.

From their point of view, this kind of dance definitely required one to privately consult the old master in the bedroom. Her thoughts were truly not pure as she jumped out like this in front of a large crowd.

Envy in their hearts, they wanted to slander Yan Wu, whispering gossip that she intended to seduce the guests at the table.

Although the guests heard it, they just smiled without saying a word. Gu Shenwei fiercely glared at his wives, but didn't stop them.

Madam Gu was satisfied with these people fanning the flames, so she did not speak up to teach them a lesson. Lady Chen, on the other hand, silently ate her banquet without uttering a single word.

At this moment, Lin Ming was in a spicy shop.

Mu Yun looked at the empty shop and felt that something was missing. She thought hard and suddenly realized: she was missing a plaque!

These few days, Ji Ge once again relaxed. From afar, he saw Mu Yun standing at the entrance of the store, gesturing with her hands. He quickly walked over and asked:

"What happened in the shop?"

Seeing him come over, Mu Yun looked at Ji Ge from head to toe.

She recalled that this person was the top scholar for the new Imperial Examinations. His literary talent must be extraordinary, and his handwriting should also be exceptional.

She held Ziggy's hand, pointed at the empty space on the door, and said:

"I was in a hurry to open this store, so I didn't prepare anything. Only now did I realize that my shop was so popular without a plaque. If others saw it, they would definitely laugh at me. Elder brother, since you're the top scholar, I'll leave this plaque to you to write down. "

As Mu Yun spoke, he began to laugh loudly. Seeing how optimistic she was, Ji Ge smiled and agreed.

She took out a piece of Xuan paper and asked him to write down the Lin Clan's flavor of the salt.

With a wave of his hand and a flawless set of books, he made this seemingly rustic name of the shop seem quite imposing, as if there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Mu Yun, who was watching from the side, was amazed. After Ji Ge put away his brush, she praised,

"This move is as smooth as the clouds and flowing water, its aura extraordinary. Even if I can't keep the store open anymore, I can still show off this plaque. After all, it was mentioned by the top scholar. "When I can't get by, I can take it out and sell it. I'm afraid I'll be able to earn a few dozen silvers."

Ji Ge saw the ridicule in her eyes and shook his head. He lightly tapped her forehead and said:

"Jin Yan is right, you are really going to fall into the eyes of money."

The two chatted and laughed, but just as they were about to enter the store, a woman rushed over and ran into Ji Ge's arms.

Zerg steadied the man and asked:

"Girl? What's wrong with you? "

Mu Yun was puzzled. She turned her head and saw that the person that was thrown into Ji Ge's arms was Chen Mo!

She immediately pulled away from Ji Ge, glared at Chen Mo and said:

"What are you doing here? What kind of bad idea do you have this time? "

Chen Mo was on the verge of tears. Looking at Ji Ge's charming eyes, she glanced at Mu Yun and said to Ji Ge:

"I just accidentally fell down a moment ago. I had something to do and had to rush back to my residence. I accidentally bumped into a noble. I'm really sorry."

In fact, the situation was not as Chen Mo claimed.

When she saw Ji Ge's smooth calligraphy, she knew that this person was not someone from the pond. Although she liked a man as sturdy as Lin Jinyan, if she was able to become the next King, she would abandon Lin Jinyan and pursue a man like Ji Ge.

Therefore, she pretended to be in a hurry and dashed into Ji Ge's arms. At that moment, she smelled the fragrant scent of books and ink, and it had a cold and sharp aura unique to bamboo. Her heart trembled, and she even decided to hook onto Ji Ge. She pressed her chest against his, making him feel her softness.

However, she forgot that Ji Ge had the woman she hated the most, Mu Yun. Even if she ignored Mu Yun, Mu Yun wouldn't let her go.

The moment she got close to Ji Ge, before she even made a move to seduce him, Mu Yun had pulled Ji Ge aside, causing her scheme to die before it could even come out.

Seeing someone looking at them from the street, Mu Yun didn't want anything to happen, so she said,

"The last time you sent someone to frame my shop, what do you want to do now? If you continue to tangle with me, I'll report what happened to you to the government. "Oh, right. It just so happens that Mr. Ji is here."

Only now did Chen Mo realize that Ji Ge's authority over the temporary county magistrate was equivalent to that of the county magistrate. Furthermore, he was on good terms with Mu Yun, so if Mu Yun were to say bad things about him, Ji Ge's impression of him would definitely be ugly.

She was nervous, but she knew that this was not the time to be entangled with him.

Bending her body, she gently said to Zerg:

"I'm in the wrong at this time, but I really have urgent matters and can't apologize to Mister officially. Please allow me to take care of the matters first, and then apologize to Mister."

After she finished speaking, she lifted up her skirt and rushed to the manor, as if there really was something urgent.

However, before she left, she fiercely glared at Mu Yun, seemingly warning her to not meddle in other people's business.
