Chapter 152 (No Coincidentally Not a Book Monthly Pass)
Xu Boping and his party were dressed as warriors, which was not the same as ordinary people. This entry into the village was naturally eye-catching.
The villagers did not know these three people, but they knew Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba. They knew that they were guests of the Gui family, and they couldn't help but wonder.
Aunt Zhang happened to come out to release ducks. When she heard someone mentioning that a visitor from Gui's parents' room was outside, she hurried to the second room to report the news. She was not deliberately watching the fun, but was afraid that the visitors would be bad. Gui's parents' rooms were all women and children, so they could not be comfortable.
When Grandma Gui heard this, she immediately raised her heart to her throat.
Gui Chongyang is young and never leaves the village, so how could he offend others? However, Gui Wu has a close relationship with the Tie family, so he may not have any opponents or enemies, causing trouble outside, and people will find the eldest house.
Grandpa Gui Er and Gui Chun went to the ground again. When they were not at home, Grandma Gui Er asked Yang to follow him, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the old house. When Aunt Zhang saw him, she couldn't help but be curious, and said hello to the house and went with her.
When he arrived at the entrance of the old house of Gui's family, he saw three healthy horses in the yard and a strong young man dressed in a warrior standing beside him to brush his horse, and the second grandma Gui's face became tense.
Standing in the yard was Xu Boping's Changsui, who was taking care of the horses in the yard, and did not follow Xu Boping and Zhang Lin into the house.
Seeing a few peasant women coming, Changsui also looked over and guessed who was coming.
However, the second grandma Gui pushed the door and sang: "Double evening, are you a visitor from home?"
Gui Chongyang heard it in the upper room and stood up and said to the two of them, "It's my grandmother who came here. I guess he got the news. I knew someone was here, so I was worried about coming over to take a look."
After saying that, Gui Chongyang went out to greet him and said, "Second grandma, it is my father's old friend, Senior Brother Xu, who is in Jinling. He came to see his grandson intently."
Just now, Mei looked surprised when she heard that Xu Boping was a student of Gui Yuan. Gui Chongyang saw it and did not speak any teacher-student status at this moment.
Grandma Gui was still suspicious and looked behind Gui Chongyang.
It turned out that Xu Boping and Zhang Lin also came out of the house and were standing behind Gui Chongyang.
"Hello, old man!" Xu Boping said politely: "I have been here to visit Chongyang for a long time. He is young and has just returned to his hometown. He still has to rely on you elders to take care of your care."
Second Grandma Gui choked, saying that this was kind-hearted, but it sounded so unpleasant. Chongyang is a child of the Gui family, and it was not the turn of others to worry about it. Why didn’t Gui show up when he returned home alone when he was alone in Chongyang? Now he came to him as soon as he got up?
Grandma Gui was prepared for her and said with a slight smile: "It turns out that his father has friends in the south. I really didn't expect it! When this child came to Beijing alone, it was both water and land. It made us elders scared. If we meet a kidnapper, there would be no place to cry."
Xu Boping only felt his face burning and said, "It was my junior who was negligent and the arrangements were not well made."
Gui Chongyang hurriedly said, "Second grandma, when my father died of illness, Senior Brother Xu was not in Nanjing, but the corresponding funeral and grandson's arrangements for his grandson to enter Beijing were all for help from Senior Brother Xu's family."
Grandma Gui was moved when she heard this.
Whether it is cooking a funeral or arranging Gui Chongyang to Beijing, it is a complicated and laborious matter. Since the young man in front of him is working hard, the Gui family naturally needs this love.
Grandma Gui said hurriedly: "I didn't expect that it was my benefactor. Come and sit in the house!"
The old lady looked grateful, and her attitude was very different from what she had just now.
Xu Boping has a noble status and has always been flattered by others. It is the first time that he was ridiculed by an old woman in the village who came up like this today.
However, Xu Boping also realized that the old lady could not speak, but her heart was concerned about Gui Chongyang.
After hearing the reason for the "Nine Dynasties" just now, I learned that Gui Chongyang's uncle's family had also suffered the pain of losing his son. Xu Boping was also worried that Gui Jiatang would take his anger on Gui Chongyang. Now it seems that the old lady is really protecting each other, but she is worried about it.
When it came to lunch, Mei Er's grandmother naturally kept guests for Gui Chongyang.
Xu Boping also wanted to see Gui Chongyang's vegetarian food, so he said a few words and left them.
Yang, who came over to be brave with Grandma Gui, and Aunt Zhang, who was curious, went to the kitchen. Mei took Mei Duo and were already preparing.
"Tsk tsk! Kill the chicken!" Aunt Zhang saw the chicken that had not been cleaned up on the ground, and she was not a heretic. She rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll clean up the chicken feathers!"
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family came in and Aunt Zhang handed over the kitchen matters so that she had time to stay outside.
Mei was not polite either. After thanking Aunt Zhang, she gave up the stove to Yang: "I'm sorry for my second sister-in-law, I really can't do it."
Yang looked around in the kitchen and said, "There are chickens and fish, and the dishes are enough. Add a dish of fried chicken and mixed with fish roe tofu, vinegar and cabbage, peanuts and celery, and six dishes."
Mei had no objection. Aunt Zhang pulled the chicken feathers in her hand, but she stood her ears and heard the conversation between the sister-in-law and sister-in-law.
The Gui family's life has really come to an end, and the dishes we treat customers are so decent. Not to mention that the second house of Gui family has Gui Wu, even the Gui family's parents' room is not without a backer.
The guests in the room looked like they were not ordinary people.
Aunt Zhang is very regretful. She only has one daughter but she has married her long ago. If she has another daughter, she would be able to marry Gui’s parents’ room.
The Gui family has a house with a land and a house, and there is only a cousin on it. He is not a serious mother-in-law. Any daughter who gets married can be the head of the family directly, but she really enjoys her happiness.
When Aunt Zhang thought of this, she couldn't help but feel that she had no daughter who was not married, but her uncle's family had a niece who had not discussed relatives. The eldest was the same year as Gui Chongyang, and the younger one was two years younger than Gui Chongyang. When Gui Chongyang made a filial piety, it might be mentioned.

In the house of the landlord, the second grandma Gui sat on one side of the kang table, Xu Boping sat on the other side of the kang table, Gui Chongyang, and Zhang Lin made a stool on the ground to accompany him.
"Zhongyang is a capable child who can support the door. After four months of returning, the house has been reopened and the land has been placed. I just waited to make a filial piety and say that a marriage is appropriate, and the incense of the eldest house can be passed down." Seeing that the visitor was dressed in a grand manner, with a jade pendant hanging around his waist, he was afraid that their power would look down on Gui Chongyang, so he kept praising Gui Chongyang.
Xu Boping was curious and couldn't help asking: "I heard that the land in Tongzhou has been difficult to buy recently. Have you bought land in Chongyang? How many acres have you bought?"
Grandma Gui said proudly: "Eight acres, four acres of medium-sized fields, four acres of land, and the two acres left in the house before, are ten acres of land, and enough chewed food."
Looking at the appearance of Grandma Gui Er, I really feel that buying eight acres of land is a proud thing.
Gui Chongyang wanted to cover her face, but couldn't bear to see the expressions of Xu Boping and Zhang Lin.
Xu Boping and Zhang Lin both showed some weirdness.
Xu Boping asked Zhang Lin: "Didn't my cousin buy land in Sanhe? If there is a cheap one, I'll also help Chongyang to take a look!"
Since Zhang Lin was appointed as the magistrate of Sanhe County, the Zhang family would not be able to make land here directly. On the contrary, Zhang Linyue's family had no worries and was sending the manager to see the land on Sanhe.
Zhang Lin nodded happily and said, "No problem, it's just that since last year, many powerful people have come to Tongzhou to buy land, so it's hard to get land preparation, and the scattered prices are not low."
Grandma Gui patted her thighs and said excitedly: "As long as you can buy land, you won't be afraid of money here. I have some of it in Chongyang, but my fifth uncle is not enough. Ten acres of land are indeed a little small. Chongyang wants to study, so there is no money for this ink, paper and inkstone. If you have ten acres and twenty acres of land at home, you will be able to go to school in the future."
Zhang Lin remembered something and immediately said, "Let me leave it to my younger generation for helping Brother Chongyang to buy land. Last year, the Yue family manager came to report that someone wanted to bring the land to invest. It would be not difficult to even out a few hectares of land for Chongyang."
Grandma Gui smiled and thought that the boy in front of her was bragging, not taking it seriously. A few hectares of land were hundreds of acres, and there was no place to say that it was there. Even if it was really there, it was not something that the Gui family could afford.
Xu Boping reminded him, "Even if someone takes the land, you should be careful. Don't take everyone. The Sanhe County Magistrate is not of high rank, but there are many people watching. Don't let someone catch a little tail. There is no reason to cause trouble for your own family for a few acres of land!"
Zhang Lin stood up and listened, and Fang said seriously: "Don't worry, since my cousin has found this official position for me, I will not embarrass my cousin."
Gui Chongyang was surprised. Zhang Lin's county magistrate was arranged by Xu Boping. Xu Boping was in his prime. With such great ability? Could it be the successor of Duke Xu's mansion?
Grandma Gui straightened her eyes. Isn’t the Sanhe County Magistrate the local parents? The boy who stood on the ground and had no hair on his mouth was the local parents?
Could it be that these two people didn’t have good intentions. I heard that the Gui family has come to "the immortal dance"?

When lunch came, smoke from cooking was curling.
Mujia Village is peaceful and peaceful. Because the "imperial grace" is exempted from this year's agricultural tax, every household has abundant rice and grain, and the villagers also smile.
Here, several villagers were curious about the visitor from the Gui family, and saw several tall horses coming from the entrance of the village.
The leader of the leader strangled the horse at the entrance of the village and greeted the people next to him without hesitation: "Hey, someone from there, come here!"
Who would have been willing to go there?
But seeing that the people were wearing silk and satin, and were coming in full force again, the villagers did not dare to offend them. An older man stepped forward and said, "Master, are you asking for directions?"
