Chapter 246 Chase to the Doorstep
"Hey, whose family is building the house?"
Widow Gu was now beside the flying magic weapon, holding the edge of the railing with both hands and looking down.
Not only him, but the children were so excited when they got home that they all stood on the edge of the railing, but because they were too short, they had to stand on tiptoes to barely see.
"So many people!"
After hearing this, the two elders were also curious and came over to see the situation, "It's still snowing, who is so anxious? Can't we wait until spring starts to build?"
"Why are there so many people, and most of them are from other villages? Oh, this place is big, it's almost the same as Dabao's place, right?"
As soon as the second elder finished speaking, he saw Widow Gu raising his hand and pointing at the busy people, his tone was a bit sour, "Whose family has made a fortune? They even built it next to my house. Is this intentional? Who are you showing it to?"
The old man glanced at him and said, "They are all from the village. Don't let anyone hear it. Who has stipulated that you can't build a house here? The land belongs to the village and you didn't buy it."
Widow Gu also realized that what he just said was a bit too loud, and he might have been overheard.
However, just listen to it, he doesn't care, and he didn't talk nonsense. It is, in such a big place at the foot of the mountain, where to build a house, you have to build it next to his house.
From now on, when I go out and think about the mountain behind, I have to go to the other side. Isn’t it just blocking it?
“Having neighbors close to home will give me more people to talk to in the future, and I won’t have to walk to the village when the weather is bad.”
Ning Su quickly stepped forward to make peace. With so many people watching, she couldn't let her father-in-law show off anymore.
They have bought the land and started construction again. From now on, they are neighbors.
In fact, Widow Gu just complained casually. He just said that he was used to it and he didn't have any bad intentions.
I thought it was my father-in-law who said that the land is not his, so he can still control it?
"Yes, there will be more people to talk to in the future, let's go see whose house it is."
As soon as he spoke, the spaceship landed, but it landed in Gu's mansion, not outside.
It was snowing outside and the ground was slippery. Both the elderly and children were afraid of being thrown.
However, as soon as they got off the flying magic weapon, they went to discuss the outside affairs with the family members who greeted them.
Moreover, to see them like that, you have to go out and see them.
Gu Chao's flying magic weapon came down from the sky, and it was so obvious that no one could have noticed it.
So, not only are others being discussed, but people outside are also discussing them.
However, the content of the discussion is very different.
When relatives meet each other, they first greet each other and ask about their respective situations, how are they doing in Beijing and how are they doing at home.
There is so much to talk about that I can’t finish it in a short while.
"Boss, it's so busy outside, who is building a house?" the old lady asked her eldest daughter.
The eldest sister of the Gu family first saw that her elders and everyone looked better now, and then she heard from them that everything was fine in Beijing, so she finally let go of her worries.
Now when the old lady asked her, she immediately smiled and said: "He is not from our village. I heard that he is a big shot from Beijing. He has been here for half a month. Maybe you guys still know each other."
When they heard that they were coming from Beijing, people who didn't know the whole story were a little surprised. Their Gujia Village was not a geomantic treasure, so why would a big shot from Beijing come?
Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Chao. Could it be some friend of hers? There is only one possibility.
Facing the questioning looks from everyone, Gu Chao also didn't know why.
"I don't know either. I haven't heard anyone say they are coming."
She thought about it carefully and made sure that no one had mentioned coming. She didn't know which house it was.
Seeing that Gu Chao also said he didn't know, everyone became even more curious. Who is this big shot and why did he come to their small village?
"Ah, by the way, I heard from the village chief what kind of prince he is."
People who knew certain things invariably thought of a certain prince, and then involuntarily looked at Widow Gu.
Widow Gu immediately exploded, "There's something wrong with her. She can't hold herself up until she's full! She didn't wait in the capital and came to our little place."
To build such a big house, I have too much money to burn it. "
After Widow Gu's scolding, all eyes turned to him. This time he was upright and there was no need to be secretive.
Therefore, this is called three hundred taels of silver.
"Third brother-in-law, you know that person."
Who doesn't know Widow Gu? His reaction like this directly shows that he knows the person and should have some issues with that person.
We will be neighbors from now on. If there are any festivals or misunderstandings, there may be trouble in the days to come.
However, they didn't think about it in certain aspects. It could be said that they had no such thoughts at all.
When asked, Widow Gu immediately regretted that he had been so impulsive just now and wished he could slap himself in the mouth. Why did he speak so quickly? If they found out, they would not know how to laugh at him.
Now, we can only prevaricate it first.
"Ah, I've met him a few times. He doesn't look like a nice person, nor is he familiar to me."
After saying that, Widow Gu secretly spat again, forgetting that he wasn't familiar with it, what else could he do with one more sentence? Wouldn't it make people think too much?
Know
The few people who knew the situation didn't speak, and those who didn't know the situation sighed each other, "She is a prince, so she won't have much interaction with us. At most, we can just meet each other. As long as she doesn't harm us people, as for the Whether he is a good person or not has nothing to do with us.”
"Yes, even if she builds a house here, she won't be able to live here for a long time. At most, it will be a place to hang out when she is bored. She can only come here for two days a year. It really has nothing to do with us. .”
Hearing this, Widow Gu stopped answering and did not intend to continue sitting down. "As you said, I am tired from the journey and there are still many things, so I will go back and pack them away."
He was tired just sitting and lying down on the road, and he didn't need to clean up those things himself. The people below were already doing it. He just felt guilty and was afraid that if he sat down again and said more, he would make more mistakes. Find a reason to run away.
The others didn't think so much. After listening to his words, they felt that it was right. They didn't sit still and stood up to leave.
"That's right. You should be tired from this journey. Take a rest. We can talk about anything after you have rested enough."
"Yes, let's go back first. Since we haven't been home for two months, we have to go back and take a look."
The old man also said that he really didn't worry about his family. No matter how good the outside was, it was still not as good as his home. After being away for two months, he was still worried about everything at home.
After being away from home for so long, they must have a lot to say. Haven't you seen that the children are all nestled in their father's arms and can't come out?
Thinking of this, Gu Chao didn't keep them any longer, "That's right, let's all take a rest and have dinner at home together in the evening. We haven't been together for so long."
Of course, no one objects to this. As a family, it’s better to have a lively time.
After sending the people at the old house away, Gu Chao and the others went back to repair themselves.
If it weren't for the fact that the house being built belonged to the third prince, Widow Gu would definitely go out and take a look around.
But now, in order to avoid suspicion, he went back to his yard without saying a word about going to see it.
However, after the old lady and the others went out, they looked over there twice and said hello to the people in the village before going back.
Now that everyone is back and in front of them again, the villagers naturally have all kinds of questions to ask them.
But now is not a good time to talk, so I just said something casually.
Even though it was snowing in the sky, they were still working. After all, they couldn't be faulted if they took other people's wages.
Everyone is back, and they won't leave for a while. If they have anything new to say, it won't be too late to talk to them when they have free time.
But this didn't stop them from chatting while doing things, because the owner didn't seem to care too much about their chatting, as long as he saw them doing things.
This was specially ordered by Butler Shu to be friendly to these villagers. After all, her prince will live here permanently in the future.
If you want to fight for a long time, you must naturally have a good relationship with the villagers. Even if you don't have to be too close, you can't make the villagers think that their prince is not easy to get along with.
Housekeeper Shu was worried about her prince's important affairs, even more than she was about her own husband.
But it is not without results. So far, the villagers in Gujia Village have a relatively good impression of a certain prince who is still in Beijing.
"Dabao and the others are back. I wonder if they know this prince?"
"We should know each other. Dabao is not an ordinary person now. Even if she goes to the capital, many people will want to invite her. They are still polite to her. Maybe this prince has invited her."
"That makes sense, otherwise, why would this prince come to our Gujia Village instead of going anywhere?
Moreover, building a house so close to Dabao's home doesn't mean that she is familiar with Dabao? "
"That's right. We have had some important people come here and there, and there is no special scenery. What do those noble people have to see when they come?
Maybe he came because of Dabao, or maybe he was Dabao's friend. "
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Dabao, otherwise we wouldn't be able to earn this money and we would have to spend the winter at home."
"Yes, our Dabao is becoming more and more promising. It is our Gu family that has gained glory. Even if he goes out again, his face feels bright."
"Isn't that right? My bastard will be sent to school next year. Let her learn a few words and understand the truth. If you don't dislike her, I will only be blind."
Mentioning this is more exciting than talking about a certain prince far away in the capital. This is a major matter related to their vital interests, so it is naturally different.
"Next year, the two of my family are also going to be sent. It doesn't matter whether they can do academic work, as long as they can read."
"Hahaha, yes, yes, we farmers don't dare to ask for those things, we just want not to be blind."
Villagers in other villages are envious of the people in Gujia Village. It would be great if their village could also have a Gu Chao. Their children could go to school and they wouldn't have to worry about repairs.
We are all farmers, and of course we know how difficult it is to support a child in education. Most families may not be able to afford it even if they have a whole family.
What the peasants envied most was that other people's children could go to school.
Everything is of inferior quality, except for being well-educated. If any family can produce a scholar, they should lift their heads higher and straighten their backs when going out.
As he talked, the topic shifted to other places. Who knew what he was talking about in the first place.
I also listened to it
Through these chats among the villagers, Butler Shu learned that the bright and bright schoolhouse in Gujia Village was built with Gu Chao's money.
Not only that, the stone road leading into the village from the official road was also built with Gu Chao's money.
Daochang Gu is not only capable, but also takes good care of the villagers. For such a person, her family will not be bad people.
Although the master of the Gu family has a rather impatient temper, well, okay, he is very impatient and irritable, but he has never been seen attacking anyone without any reason.
It was only when others offended him that he fought back. As the saying goes, I won't offend others unless they offend me. The clay figurine still has a fire nature, so Mr. Gu is still a good person.
Butler Shu also felt that it was the Mr. Gu's temperament that made him less likely to be bullied, which also complemented her prince's chronic temper.
It's just too quiet in their palace and they need some warmth.
She is now waiting for the Gu family master to quickly agree to their prince's request and move into the palace so that they can have a male master. This is perfect.
The Gu family members are all back, and the prince must be having a hard time. She has been out for more than half a month, and she doesn't know how it is in the prince's palace.
Looking at the situation here, I wonder if she could go back years ago?
The prince asked her to take care of this place first, and would send someone over later, so she could go back then.
Maybe when the prince comes, he will bring the steward with him, and she can go back with him.
It's the middle of the month now, and the prince will come to attend the wedding banquet of Gu Daochang's Yue family at the end of the month. By then, he will probably have to stay at Gu Daochang's house.
Well, now that they have moved in, they should be able to contact Mr. Gu, right?
Widow Gu returned to his yard, saying he was coming back to rest. In fact, he was so confused that he could not rest at all.
Is there something wrong with that person who actually came to build a house in their village? Why, does she plan to move here in the future?
If she can't live in a nice palace in Beijing, why do she have to live in this remote country?
As expected, he is always shameless.
When she comes, doesn't everyone in the village know about it? How will he behave in the future?
Wouldn't he become the talk of the town after dinner in the future? How will he go out to visit in the future?
What an old bastard, I don't want him to have a good life!
Chunfeng and Xia Yu looked at each other and honestly ordered people to pack their belongings. In this situation, they had better not say anything, otherwise they would bear the wrath of the master.
A certain prince in Beijing sneezed several times in succession and rubbed his itchy nose, "Is it Liu Lan who misses me?"
