Chapter 216 Shu Mingzheng is here!
Because they needed to purchase wood ash on a long-term basis, a large oil-paper umbrella was set up in the open space next to the vegetable garden inside the outer courtyard gate, and a wooden table and several chairs were placed under the umbrella.
There were not many people around at this time, Gu Qingshan was sitting at the table doing the accounts, while the four kids were reading the popular science books with great interest.
After the carriage stopped, Gu Qingshan and the four little ones all raised their heads in confusion.
The driver was Saohua, Shu Mingzong's servant, whom Gu Qingshan had seen before.
The carriage door opened, and the first person to get out was a tall, fiery red figure. Who else could it be but that dandy Shu Mingzong?
But after Shu Mingzong got off the car, he just quickly glanced at the gate and did not walk in immediately. Instead, he stood at the door of the car and stretched out his hand towards the door.
Seeing his action, Gu Qingshan's breathing stagnated and his heart began to beat fast.
Is it her? Is she here?!
She said that she would come to visit him once his new house was built and everything was settled!
He has been waiting these days.
Afraid that she would suddenly come and see him in such a miserable state, he dressed himself very cleanly every day, wearing new clothes and new shoes, without a single patch on his clothes.
Gu Qingsong glanced at his idiotic elder brother, frowned in confusion, turned around and shouted to An Ping who was busy in the vegetable garden: "An Bo, go and inform my third sister that we have guests!"
Anping let out a cry, dropped the farm tools in his hands and ran to the inner courtyard, "Miss Third! We have guests!"
A fair and delicate hand was placed in Shu Mingzong's hand, and then a veiled and slim woman in white walked out of the carriage.
It's her! It's really him!
Gu Qingshan felt his entire body stiffen, all the blood in his body rushed to his head, and his heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his chest.
He wanted to push his wheelchair forward enthusiastically and generously to welcome them warmly, but his hands and feet were out of control and he stood there numbly.
After Shu Mingzheng got off the carriage, he just raised his eyes and glanced forward, and found those eyes.
The pair of eyes that were originally clear and gentle now seemed to be filled with tiny starlight, staring at her blankly.
Shu Mingzheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly glanced at his brother beside him and Aunt Qi who was getting off the car behind him, and pretended to be calm and bowed to Gu Qingshan: "Sorry to bother you, Brother Qingshan."
Gu Qingshan suddenly came back to his senses, quickly adjusted his expression, and said with a hoarse voice, “No…don’t bother me, Miss Shu…Miss Shu, Master Shu, Madam Qi, please come in!”
Nanny Qi glanced back and forth between the two young men and immediately saw something.
She sighed slightly, raised her eyes and looked around the farmhouse in front of her, the solemn look between her brows deepened.
She understood the young lady's thoughts, but the Gu family was a farming family after all. Although they were still presentable in this village, they were not good enough in the county town, let alone in the imperial capital.
She was not someone who necessarily pursued a high social status, but she had watched the young lady grow up, and she was like her own daughter. Which mother wouldn't want her daughter to marry into a good family?
What’s more, Young Master Gu is disabled, and I don’t know if he can be treated humanely.
If the young lady were to marry into this family, she wouldn't know how much hardship she would have to endure.
When passing by the four little ones, Shu Mingzong used his two index fingers to turn down his lower eyelids, stuck out his long tongue, and made a "hanged ghost" face at them.
Gu Qingmiao shrank back in fear.
Gu Qingya hurriedly hugged her.
Xiaohuo shook his head and sighed, "Childish."
"It's indeed childish," Gu Qingsong said with disgust.
Shu Mingzheng chuckled, patted Shu Mingzong on the back, walked forward to touch the four little ones' heads, and stuffed a handful of maltose into each of their hands.
"Thank you Sister Shu (Auntie)", the four little ones hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
Gu Qingshan said with red ears: “Miss Shu, you are too polite.”
"Brother Qingshan, you don't have to be polite. These little guys are so cute. Anyone who sees them will like them," Shu Mingzheng said sincerely, without the slightest intention of polite greetings.
Gu Qingshan glanced at her deeply, his voice unconsciously becoming a little doting: “You must be tired, let’s go and sit at home.”
Shu Mingzong walked in front carelessly, looking around the new house curiously, and didn't notice the sticky eye contact between his sister and Gu Qingshan.
Xiaohuo looked at Uncle Qingshan, then at the beautiful aunt wearing a veil, and whispered something into Gu Qingsong's ear.
Gu Qingsong's eyes widened, "Really?"
"Well, I think it's very likely," Xiaohuo nodded.
The way Uncle Qingshan looked at that beautiful aunt just now was very similar to the way Grandpa Tiechui looked at Grandma Yueying.
It's also like the way my uncle looks at Aunt Huaishu.
Gu Qingsong rolled his eyes and whispered to Xiaohuo, "Xiaohuo, let's help my brother! Who knows, I may have a sister-in-law soon!"
"Yeah," Xiaohuo pursed his lips and nodded repeatedly, "that aunt is a good one, I like her too."
Anping hurried out, helped Saohua drive the carriage into the yard, and then took Saohua into the living room to settle down.
Gu Qinghuai heard that there was a guest at home, and hurried out to greet them. When she saw Shu Mingzheng, her eyes lit up: "Sister Shu!"
Before Shu Mingzheng could respond, Shu Mingzong opened his arms and ran towards Gu Qinghuai: "Goddess! Goddess! My goddess! We meet again!"
Shu Mingzheng couldn't help but hold his forehead when looking at his younger brother's silly look.
Nanny Qi also turned her eyes away uncomfortably, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
Kuhuanai, who was sitting under the locust tree, was also stunned by the shock.
Gu Qinghuai saw the red rooster running towards him, and was so frightened that his body shuddered, and he hurriedly dodged to the side: "Master Shu, please call me God! Don't call me Goddess!"
Although they are both gods, the difference of one word can lead to huge differences in meaning.
Goddess? Humph, can you just call her that?
Shu Mingzong followed suit and immediately changed his words without any scruples: "Master, Master, can we start making the shampoo and conditioner?"
Gu Qinghuai nodded: "I can make part of it when the shop opens."
Shampoo and conditioner are not difficult to make.
"Great! The great god is the great god!" Shu Mingzong smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving 9999 points of male admiration, total score]
Gu Qinghuai left Shu Mingzong behind, walked forward, took Shu Mingzheng's hand, and asked Aunt Qi to sit down at the stone table.
The four little ones hurriedly poured tea and water.
Gu Qinghuai asked Gu Buli to go to the foot of the mountain to call back ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and Anshui, and asked Gu Buqi to call back his grandmother and Coix seed and others.
Shu Mingzong, Shu Mingzheng and Aunt Qi were all very surprised to see that the two little animals were so human-like.
When Zhao Ying heard that there was a guest at home, she hurried out to meet him. When she saw that it was Shu Mingzheng, the smile on her face deepened.
"Hello, Aunt Zhao," Shu Mingzheng and Shu Mingzong both stood up and saluted.
Zhao Ying hurriedly helped her sit down and drink tea.
After a while, everyone in the family came back and gave another enthusiastic introduction.
