Chapter 144 Old Madam Duan Seeks Education for Her Grandson
The next morning, the survivors of Weng County gathered in groups of three or four and looked towards the Gu family.
"Why haven't we seen the Gu family come out to practice martial arts these past two days?" a woman asked.
"That's right. The Gu family practices martial arts every day without fail. They haven't been seen for two days. What do you think? Could something have happened?" someone guessed.
"Just think about something good. Gu Jiafu is a lucky man. What could happen to him? He may just be busy at home." A woman hurriedly stopped others from making random guesses.
Then, when people went to pick flowers early in the morning, they discovered that several rows of stables had appeared in the peach forest overnight.
There were hundreds of horses tied in the stable. Everyone was shocked.
But when he saw the servant of the Gu family guarding the stable, he knew it was the Gu family's horse, and he didn't dare to say anything.
But everyone was still shocked. They really couldn't figure out how this horse came overnight? How was this stable built? There was no sound at all!
At the same time, the three members of the Duan family were also worried about the Gu family. "Mom, I haven't seen the Gu family for two days. Why don't we go and see them later?"
"Of course. Let's go and see it after dinner." Mrs. Duan replied.
"Grandma, I'll go too." Duan Shuhuan said hurriedly.
"Okay, let's go." Old Mrs. Duan said to her grandson lovingly.
She was thinking about her grandson's studies. Her maids, old women and followers were the most numerous among the survivors in the valley.
And they are all loyal and never leave.
Now that the family has settled down, all the work posted in the valley is assigned to them. She and her daughter-in-law also embroider patterns and do needlework at home.
My grandson is idle at home all day and makes no progress. What should I do if this continues?
Now only the Gu family has a teacher, so I might as well risk my old face and go to the Gu family to ask if I can let Huaner go to school with me every day and pay the tuition fee.
Old Madam Duan made up her mind. After the meal, the family packed up, took some wild vegetables and embroidery, and went to Gu's house.
As soon as they went out, they ran into Song Renjing who was about to go out.
"Hey! Ah Jing, you haven't gone out yet today?" Duan Shuhuan asked. At this time of day, Ah Jing would have gone to work.
"Hello, Grandma Duan, Aunt Duan, Shuhuan. I see that the Gu family hasn't come out for the past two days, so I wanted to go and see them. Where are you going?" Song Renjing asked after greeting everyone one by one.
"That's great, we want to go and take a look too. Let's go together." Duan Shuhuan invited.
"That's great, let's do it together." Song Renjing said happily.
Several people came to Gu's house together, and the brother from Robot Garden opened the door for them.
Of course, Brother Yuan is now also turning on the simulation mode.
Lianxian asked Zhisheng and got the owner's permission before opening the door to let everyone in.
Everyone walked along the wind and rain corridor into the courtyard. As soon as they passed the front yard, three sisters-in-law of the Jiang family came out to greet them.
"Madam Duan, Madam Duan, Huan'er, you are all here. Is your name Ajing?" Jiang stepped forward and greeted them one by one.
Looking at the boy in front of me, I had a deep impression of him, but it took me a moment to remember his name.
"Why are you all here together? What's the matter?" After saying that, he sighed again and continued, "See how impatient I am. Please come in and we can talk slowly inside."
Jiang laughed and took Old Madam Duan's arm, supporting her as they walked forward.
Miao and Wen also took Mrs. Duan's hands and walked towards the inner courtyard, chatting and laughing.
Originally, everyone met guests in the kitchen room or in Mr. Gu's living room, but now that they were receiving female relatives, it was not appropriate to go to Mr. Gu's place.
The almighty stewards are currently processing the prey harvested yesterday, so it is not convenient to bring anyone over.
She then took them directly to the pavilion beside the stone building in the backyard. After everyone was seated, Wen asked Zhiling to serve some refreshments.
Looking at the lotus flowers in the pond, they are blooming beautifully.
"This lotus is really well grown. It's still blooming at this time of year." Old Madam Duan asked in surprise.
Except for Mrs. Duan, it was the first time for everyone else to come to the Gu family's backyard.
Along the way, I saw the scenery and decoration of Gu's house. Every detail was exquisite and novel.
Even Song Renjing, who had been frequenting the palaces and noble residences since childhood, could not help but admire the elegance and uniqueness of this courtyard.
"This flower is called lotus. As long as the temperature is right, it can bloom all year round. The temperature in our valley is just right, so we have this lotus that blooms all year round." Jiang explained.
The Duan family took out the gifts they had brought and said, "These are the wild vegetables that my family picked in the forest, and the embroidery that Wan Niang embroidered. There is nothing good at home now, so we can only send these. Please don't despise them."
Jiang took it with a smile, "Madam, you are here, why did you bring a gift? Don't do this next time. We are also happy that you can come and talk with us."
"That's right. For us farmers, we just visit each other directly and don't bring gifts." Miao also said.
After seeing it, Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "To be honest, my daughter Fu'er loves to eat this wild vegetable, but we have never had the time to pick it for her. She will definitely be happy to see it at noon."
They chatted for a while, tasting and praising the flowers, scenery, embroidery, tea and cakes.
"We came here today mainly because we saw that you haven't gone out for two days. People in the valley were talking about it, and we were a little worried, so we came to check on you." Old Madam Duan stated her purpose.
"I just happened to meet Jing'er on my way out the door. This kid is also thoughtful. He was just about to come over to take a look, so he came along." Old Madam Duan said with a smile.
Then he asked with concern: "Is everything alright at home? If there is anything, please let us know if we can help you."
"Thank you for your concern. Nothing's wrong at home. The New Year is almost here, and my father and his family have gone hunting in the mountains," said Jiang with a smile.
"The harvest is not bad. It's a good thing that you are here, so we don't have to send anyone to deliver it. Take some mutton back when you go back." Jiang said to them.
"That won't do. We just came here to sit down and chat. We can't take anything back. You guys have helped us enough on weekdays."
"That's right, that's right, this is absolutely not allowed."
The two ladies of the Duan family hurriedly declined.
"Aunt Gu, I can't make it by myself. It's useless to take it back. You don't have to prepare it for me." Song Renjing also declined.
"That's unorthodox, isn't it? These are all the food that my family hunted in the mountains. It's nothing. It's okay if you can't cook. The kitchen nanny is making dumplings. Bring some back with you and cook them when you're ready to eat."
After hearing what Jiang said, everyone could no longer refuse and thanked her one after another.
We chatted about other things and asked the Gu family's children, and found out that they were in class.
Madam Duan said with some embarrassment: "Madam Gu, I came here today to ask for a favor. I hope you can agree to it."
"What you said is untrue, old lady. Just tell us if you have any difficulties. We will definitely help if we can." Jiang said hurriedly to comfort her.
"Well, nowadays, Wan Niang, the servants and I can do all the work in the valley. My grandson is idle at home every day, and I was thinking whether he could go to school with the brothers and sisters of the Gu family so that he would not waste his time every day. Of course, we will pay the salary as usual." Old Lady Duan said.
