Chapter 253 Very Satisfied
As soon as the drum at the yamen door sounded, Mrs. Huang was also shocked. She had been the county magistrate for two years, and the drum had never been played.
It's not really because of how well she governs, and there isn't even a single contradiction in her governance.
It's really because the common people have their own way of doing things in private, and they won't come to the government office unless they have to.
And it's this time again. If it weren't for something serious, I would never come to the Yamen.
"My wife, please have two more bites." Mr. Huang's husband saw his wife standing up immediately after hearing the sound of the drum, and quickly asked her to have two more bites.
After all, I still don’t know what it is, and I don’t know how late it will be before I come back.
After just a few bites, I must be hungry.
Her wife is the county magistrate to the common people, but to her she is just his wife. He pretends to be his wife at heart, fearing that she will be cold, hungry, and tired.
"If you don't want to eat, please change my wife's clothes quickly."
Magistrate Huang waved his hand and said, "You can eat it yourself, you don't have to wait."
Mr. Huang and his attendants quickly changed Huang County Magistrate's clothes, and also warned: "My wife wants to go and come back early."
"Don't wait for me to eat. I may not be able to come back any time. You should be cautious and rest early."
"My wife, don't worry about us. I will take good care of you."
After so many years as a couple, County Magistrate Huang naturally knew about his husband. How could he feel at ease if he didn't come back?
It was also after he had a child in the past two years that he became better because his caution distracted him.
In the past, no matter what time she came back, he would stay up late and wait for her, rain or shine.
Thinking of this, County Magistrate Huang stopped trying to persuade him any more and decided to go see what was going on outside first and deal with it early so he could come back to be with his husband and children.
Mr. Chen sent the county magistrate to the gate of the backyard until he could no longer see his wife, then he turned back with his attendants.
"Put all the food on the stove to heat it up, and wait for grandma to come back to eat."
The attendant bowed in response, and he knew that this was indeed the case. Grandma was the only one in Zhengjun's heart, and it had not changed in so many years.
When the county magistrate came to the hall, he felt doubtful when he saw so many people there. This was really the first time.
When he saw that the leader turned out to be Gu Chao, his heart became even tighter. It would definitely not be an ordinary minor conflict that would allow Gu Chao to come in person.
After the ceremony, the county magistrate sat upright under the bright plaque and asked everyone in the hall.
"Who is in the hall? What's the meaning of drumming?"
The common people were already panicked when they saw the county magistrate, and now they were asked about it by the county magistrate. Naturally, no one could speak, so they all looked to Gu Chao.
Gu Chao was the leader, so he naturally stood at the top, followed by the rich lady.
In fact, Magistrate Huang looked at these two people when he asked questions. It was impossible for her to ask them one by one with so many people.
This was not the first time that Gu Chao had interacted with County Magistrate Huang. They were both acquaintances, and they were in the lobby of the county government office. Of course, he answered the Lord's words directly and straightforwardly.
When Gu Chao released all those things, whether it was Magistrate Huang, the county magistrate, or the policemen on both sides, the people who came to watch after hearing the sound of drums took a deep breath and felt cold all over. All got goosebumps.
Really, those things are so scary and disgusting.
Those who were a little more timid closed their eyes and did not dare to take another look.
"Daozhang Gu, what happened here?"
Gu Chao did not whet their appetites and directly explained the ins and outs of the matter.
Although this thing sounds unbelievable, but this person is Taoist Master Gu, and with so many people and Taoist priests testifying, this matter is absolutely certain.
Therefore, although there were many discussions and righteous indignation, no one did not believe it.
“I’ve also heard about that Taoist temple, and I was told that I would take my relatives there next month, but I didn’t expect it to be like this!
Fortunately, Taoist Master Gu discovered their conspiracy, tsk tsk tsk~"
This person kept patting her chest while talking, and she was really lucky, otherwise, she would have done bad things with good intentions.
Maybe, this relative will become an enemy in the future.
"Yes, fortunately there is Daoist Gu, otherwise I don't know how many people would have been deceived, and it would have been human lives."
"Hey, I also heard from the Taoist temple that there are a lot of people going there, and many of them are pregnant. What should I do?"
"It's also a sin. How are you going to live your life?"
At the end of the discussion, everyone was worried about those who had taken the elixir. It was a life-threatening thing. I wonder how many people had taken it?
Moreover, those who went first might have had something happen to them, right?
County Magistrate Huang also thought of this, so he took a look at Gu Chao. Since Gu Chao had already captured all the evildoers and came to the Yamen to complain, it seemed that he wanted her to do something.
"I wonder what Chief Gu can do? I will do my best to assist."
This is really not Magistrate Huang's excuse. She knows Gu Chao's abilities and knows that she can only play a supporting role. This also shows her attitude.
Magistrate Huang was polite to Gu Chao because of Gu Chao's status and ability, and also because Gu Chao was respectful and polite to her from the beginning to the end.
Gu Chao bowed to the county magistrate again
Hand, then they explained the purpose of their coming.
“We don’t know how many people have taken that elixir now.
Gu and all the people came here to ask the county magistrate to issue a notice to inform the people, so that the victims who got the news would come to find me. "
"Daoist Gu is a great righteous man. Mr. Huang would like to thank Taoist Gu on behalf of the people. Please accept Mr. Huang's respect."
As Master Huang spoke, he stood up and came out from behind the desk, bowed his hands to Gu Qiu.
In front of so many people, Gu Chao also cooperated with her, regardless of whether Mr. Huang was doing it for everyone to see or sincerely.
To be honest, she and Mr. Huang will get married soon, and Ning An will get married to Yu Miao'er at the end of this month.
Yu Miao'er's brother is also the husband of Mr. Huang's sister. Isn't this an in-law relationship?
With the county magistrate taking the lead, the people also took action, "Gu Tao is so kind and righteous, he is our blessing."
When everything was done, Gu Chao was about to leave, but was detained by County Magistrate Huang, "Director Gu, it's getting late now, why don't you stay one night and come back tomorrow?"
Gu Chao looked at the sky and saw that it was indeed late. It was already evening when they arrived, and after a while of delay, it was already dark.
"Thank you, Mr. Huang. It's just that Gu didn't tell the people at home when he went out. They are probably still waiting for me to come back, so I won't stay any longer.
By the way, my sister is getting married at the end of the month, and I have invited Mr. Huang to come for a wedding drink. "
Gu Chao didn't need to say this, Master Huang was also ready to go, but now that Gu Chao had spoken, it was different.
It shows that the relationship between them is slowly getting closer, which is a good thing.
"Then Huang is going to bother you, he must go to the wedding banquet.
Speaking of which, we will soon be relatives, so we should move around frequently.
However, something unexpected happened today and you are waiting at home again, so I really can’t keep you any longer. Let’s have a few drinks next time. "
"What I'm saying is that today is indeed inappropriate, and I will have to drink this wine next time.
Gu went back immediately, but Mr. Huang stayed behind. "
Gu Chao was the only one walking in the dark at night, and none of the people who came with her planned to go back.
Because most of their homes are far away from the county seat, it is dark today and it is winter, so it is really unsafe to walk at night.
If you have relatives in the county, go to their house. If you don't have any, find a suitable inn to stay for the night. You still have some copper coins.
It's almost the end of the year, and it can be freezing to death outside, so you can't just find a place to deal with it.
When Gu Chao returned home, it was earlier than yesterday. It was almost 2:20, and Ning Su and the others had people keep the food warm.
Because Gu Chao didn't say when he would be back when he went out today, they were afraid that if his wife came back later and didn't have anything to eat, they would just have something to eat.
The two of them were thinking about their wife. Since the wife didn't come home, they couldn't even eat.
Moreover, the wife is going to investigate that kind of thing, what if there is any danger?
Alas, they are proud of their wife and worried about their wife's safety, and they are extremely conflicted in their hearts.
Because Gu Chao came back quite early today, what he saw when he came home was a family sitting together and talking.
It is said that they are a family, that is, Gu Widow, Ning Su, Han Yu, and Bao'er.
The three adults talked about common things while teasing the children, and occasionally mentioned Gu Chao.
Seeing Gu Chao coming back, several people stood up and prepared to greet him.
Widow Gu was halfway up when he saw his two sons-in-law had gone and sat down again.
When the daughter grows up, gets married, and has a husband, he, the father, cannot move forward, mainly because there is no place for him.
To be honest, although he saw that they were harmonious as a couple, he still felt a little sad at this moment.
This is the daughter he raised, and now she no longer has his share.
well! As expected, it becomes a bit of an eyesore as one gets older.
In fact, no one thought he was an eyesore, it was just him who thought so, and it was simply overthinking.
Isn't that right? Because of the snow in the past two days, he didn't go out much. He stayed at home every day and had nothing to do. Wasn't he just thinking about this?
When the weather gets better and he can go out to visit again, he won't have time to think about this.
Because it was in front of their father-in-law, the two of them were still a little embarrassed to be too intimate with their wife.
So when Gu Chao reached out to hug them, both of them quietly moved away.
"Has the wife eaten?"
"The food is still hot in the kitchen, I'll go and have it delivered."
Seeing the actions of the two husbands, Gu Chao followed their wishes without saying anything else.
Of course she knew about Widow Gu, so she restrained herself a little in front of him.
Widow Gu has changed a lot now. When Ning Su first came in, as long as Gu Chao treated Ning Su a little better in front of him, he would get jealous and call Ning Su a coward.
It's been a long time now, and I'm used to it.
Otherwise, Gu Chao would hug his husband in front of him, and he could scold the two sons-in-law with his hands on his hips.
Maybe they would have to be punished by having to kneel outside.
Gu Chao really didn't eat, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "I haven't eaten yet. I just want to eat something."
Upon hearing Gu Chao
The three men felt distressed when they said they hadn't eaten yet. They hadn't eaten at such a late hour, so weren't they just hungry since noon?
Ning Su quickly handed the child over to Qiushi and the others, and went to the kitchen to make arrangements in person.
Han Yu asked someone to quickly fetch hot water for his wife to wash her face and hands. She just came back from outside and didn't just need to wash her hands with hot water. After washing, it was time to eat.
"You too, why don't you come back after eating out? Look what time it is now!
No matter how big those things are, are they still more important than your body? "
Widow Gu's face looked a little bad, and there was a hint of complaint in his tone. To put it bluntly, what does this matter have to do with his family? Why is my daughter so tired?
In his heart, of course, everyone is better than his daughter, but other things cannot be compared.
There are family members who care about him, but Gu Chao doesn't appreciate it.
Now that she is used to them, she feels that these little thoughts have become a thing of the past.
When she first came here, she was not used to Widow Gu, mainly because he talked too much and did everything from him, but now she is used to it.
"It was also a delay. I was afraid that you would be worried if I came back late, so I hurried back."
After hearing his daughter's explanation, Widow Gu's face improved a lot. He already felt sorry for his daughter. Even though his tone was a little bad, his concern was genuine.
"Next time if you do this, just eat some food outside for comfort. When you come back, it will be delicious. Don't make your body hungry and cause problems."
Hearing what Widow Gu said, Gu Chao couldn't help but look at him twice. Widow Gu didn't talk to her so calmly often.
Of course, he wanted to show his presence and couldn't let his two sons-in-law steal the limelight.
No matter what the reason is, as long as the family is together and happy.
After being out for a day, if you come home and see a few people at home not dealing with you, you will have a headache.
It is said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is difficult to get along with, but after arriving here, it became a relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law.
But Gu Chao found that the relationship between the men in her family didn't really seem to worry her.
She was pleased with this.
Of course, she also knew that it was all thanks to her husbands.
In the past, when Ning Su was alone, Gu Chao discovered that Ning Su and Gu Widow had a very good relationship.
He had his own secrets of coaxing his father-in-law, and he coaxed Widow Gu very well.
Later, after Han Yu came in, although he was worried about not being able to get along with him at first, he later found the secret to getting along with Widow Gu under the guidance of Ning Su.
Thinking of this, Gu Chao was very proud of his two husbands. They were able to coax even the difficult temperament of widow Gu. Isn't that great?
Of course, it was fine elsewhere, and she was very satisfied.
