Chapter 170: It's This Guo Family!

tailor-made for the old man.Wealthy families are generous and give substantial consultation fees. Occasionally, even if a prescription is just written, the fee doubles.The villagers were envious and d...Liu Zhiheng was startled by his expression and cautiously replied, “Guo Shanchang of Taihua Academy is looking to buy a piece of land. I said I would send someone to inquire.” 。"Mr. Wen frowned and asked, "Are Guo Shan's children all around him" He had already guessed that this Guo family was the one they were looking for, but he couldn't help but confirm it. After all, what happened back then was too tragic, and he couldn't get it wrong. 。Liu Zhiheng didn't understand what he was hesitating about, but still said 。Before the relocation, Guo Shanchang only brought his sickly grandson to seek medical treatment here. His children and grandchildren were all in Kyoto. After the relocation, perhaps they were delayed on the road or something happened, they never came over. 。It is said that now Guo Shanchang only has his distant cousin's family living locally to take care of him. Guo Shanchang speculates that his children and grandchildren have fallen ill, suffered a serious illness, and this is why he wants to buy a manor house outside the city to recuperate. 。Mr. Wen nodded, got up and said, "Let people wait here for a while, let's go back and see my junior sister. There are some things to arrange." 。“What's going on It’s so mysterious. Can’t you tell me now” Liu Zhiheng complained, but he still obediently followed back to the neighboring farm house. 。Mrs. Cui was reviewing the accounts. There were many tenant farmers and servants in the manor, so it took some effort to sort them out. 。She suddenly saw Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng come back, so she asked them to sit down for tea and asked, "Is everything going smoothly""Of course it went smoothly. You didn't see how well Mr. Wen cleaned up the Northern Marquis. The Jiao family was so scared that they couldn't even speak a word..." 。Liu Zhiheng initially looked down on Mr. Wen, after all, with a scholar as his teacher, he went through the exams and entered the Hanlin Academy, only to end up living off of his connections. 。All that talk about disdain for power and aversion to conflict is just a flimsy excuse for weakness. 。A true man walks through the world, power is his armor and weapon. 。You can avoid hurting others, but make sure you and your family are not being bullied. 。For so many years, he clearly loved his junior sister deeply. But because she married someone else, he became a pathetic wreck, watching helplessly as his beloved suffered without doing anything about it. 。Fortunately, this catastrophe finally made him see the light. Not only did he go against the current and return to Kyoto to save his junior sister, but he also secretly laid a lot of groundwork. 。Otherwise, this wouldn't have gone so smoothly and forced Dingbeihou to apologize and compensate Zhuangzi! Mr. Wen didn't know that in Liu Zhizhen's heart, his image had already been greatly elevated. 。He pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Junior sister, I've gotten the deed to the land next door. You can find a buyer anytime and register it at the government office." 。" Well, thank you, senior brother and elder brother. " 。Mrs. Cui nodded, a smile on her face. 。She knows very well how greedy the Marquis of Dingbei is. At this moment, he must be heartbroken as if a piece of his flesh had been cut away. 。And when he was not well, she couldn't help but be happy. 。"Elder Brother, I trouble you to get everyone from the neighboring farm gone. Organize all the grain and farming tools, I'm sending them to Suijin Beach. This time, letting the villagers live in fear like this, without giving them compensation, I feel guilty." 。Also, if the wooden furniture in the yard is good, bring it all back and store it. When Li's family moves into the new courtyard, I'll have it made into a gift. 。"Moving into a new home, why not send a new set I can have someone make it for you." 。“No, brother-in-law,” Mrs. Cui quickly shook her head. “It’s not necessary. Sister-in-law Li is very rational and strong-willed. If I made a brand new set, she probably wouldn’t accept it.” 。If it were compensation from the Jiao family, she would definitely be happy to accept it. 。Liu Zhiheng nodded, feeling even more favorably impressed with the Li family. 。"Alright, I'll have someone move it back." 。When you move, if you go there, remember to bring me one. 。Recently, many people have been talking about the hot springs in the valley, I guess they're all looking forward to it. 。“Brother, if you happen to chat with outsiders, please do add a few words for me. The Suijin Beach was built by Marquis Xinting with his own silver, it's the property of the Marquis' mansion, and the marquis also has a courtyard outside the city.” 。Liu Ziheng understood and quickly nodded, “Good, this is easy.” 。But it's a good idea to hang it under the name of Marquis Xinling, otherwise many people might have designs on it. 。Mr. Wen listened to the two of them talk for a while, not getting to the point, and couldn't help but interrupt. 。"Junior Sister, my elder brother just mentioned that someone recently wants to buy the Zhuangzi. He plans to have someone go and inquire about it." 。And this family is... the headmaster of Kyoto Taiwa Shuyuan, Guo Shanchang. 。"The Guo family" Mrs. Cui was also surprised and asked aloud. 。 Now, Liu Zhiheng was completely done. He pressed, "What's going on with you guys Every time you mention the Guo family, you look like this. Are you hiding something from me" Mr. Wen smiled wryly. "Junior sister, it's that Guo family. I heard that Patriarch Guo only brought a sickly young grandson, and all his other children and grandchildren are up north and haven't come." 。“Then there’s no mistake about it,” Madam Cui sighed deeply. 。"

Having said that, before Liu Ziheng could ask further, she recounted how she had been rescued by the villagers of Qing Shui Village on her way here. She explained how a child kidnapping incident led to an unexpected encounter with bandits, culminating in their demise. She also described seeing the Guo family being mistreated." 。Liu Zhiheng was so shocked that his eyes widened. He hated the cruelty of the bandits, and also felt sympathy for Guo Shanchang and his grandson. 。If Master Guo knew about this, he'd probably be too upset to bear it. 。" Mr. Wen sighed, "Actually, the old man probably already guessed it. If we told him, things would settle, and he'd have to be strong, after all, there's still a grandson to raise." 。“Well then,” Mrs. Cui nodded, “Brother-in-law, perhaps we should ask the Guo family about this matter. If Master Guo were to come and live here afterward, I could certainly look after him a bit, as a gesture of goodwill towards Mrs. Guo, my fellow classmate.” 。As for when to reveal the truth, it's still a matter of choosing the right opportunity. 。Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng both responded, "There's no other way." 。After chatting for a while, the three went their separate ways. The next day, after breakfast, Mrs. Cui took her entourage and headed back to Suijin Beach. 。Now that the mischievous boys like Jia An and Jia Xi have regular jobs, they can't run wild at home anymore. The valley is much too quiet without them. 。Jia Yin didn't want to play with the other children who were drooling all over, so she clung to her grandmother. 。Digging vegetables, picking vegetables, making fire, in short, doing some odd jobs to pass the time. 。She was so well-behaved, which made the village women envious. 。"Little Fu is such a good girl, she doesn't cry or fuss and she's so white, plump, and adorable. Just looking at her makes us want to have another one!" 。"Even if we're going to have a baby, it would be better to move into the new house first. It's definitely going to be tough carrying a child during this time." 。"Yes, it's best to have kittens in the fall. A cat will raise them over winter and then they can be easier to care for in spring." 。Women who have given birth understand that having a baby is as ordinary as eating and sleeping. 。Old Li was afraid of spoiling her granddaughter, but the little girl seemed not to understand. She mumbled softly with her mouth, clearly eating candy balls. She didn't have any interest in the commotion at all. 。Just as she was about to wipe the drool from her granddaughter's eager face, Mrs. Cui arrived with her retinue. 。Seeing this, the villagers couldn't help but drop their work and come rushing over. 。Jia Yin's snacks were already gone, and she was eagerly waiting for Mrs. Cui. At this moment, she stomped over on her little chubby legs and hugged Mrs. Cui's thigh. 。Mrs. Cui smiled and hugged her, giving her a big kiss. "Fu Niu missed your aunt, didn't you Your aunt brought you some delicious food. Let's talk about it later." 。" Jiayin laughed, her eyes crinkling like crescent moons. She held onto the woman's neck tightly. 。The village head and Zhao Shu, Li Laoer and others stepped forward. The village head asked, “Mrs. Cui, has the matter with Hu Laosan been resolved”he barbarians from Jiangbei were repelled again. Who knows, maybe this time Da Yong will return and stay by your side until the baby is a month old.""Really""That's about right. I heard a few things f...
