343 Chapter 343-this old man
second brother, second brother’s wife, Nian Xinxin, come here! Grandpa Gu waved his hand.
“Second brother, second sister, this is your uncle Hua. When I was young, I got to know your uncle Hua because of flowers. Nian Xinxin, call me Grandpa Hua!” Grandpa Gu introduced.
“Hello, uncle Hua (Grandpa Hua)!” The family of four greeted them.
“Good, good! Everyone is well! Look at what your father has done, you should have told him earlier that you were coming! I wasn’t prepared for this at all. How about this, I’ll take these flowers, how about 250 taels per pot?” Old man Hua stood up and said.
“Uncle Hua, 250 doesn’t sound good. Let’s say a whole number with a meaning. How about 1168? One continent flag, all the way.” Cai Xiaolian laughed.
“Yo! His daughter-in-law was quite a sweet talker! 1100 Lu twenty-eight taels. I’ll give you a few pots of flowers as a gift for our first meeting. You can choose one yourself!” Old man Hua laughed.
little Lian, read Xinxin, choose, choose with all your might. I’ll let you choose. What a waste of this old man Hua! Grandma Xiao said awkwardly.
In the end, the family of four did not choose any good flowers, just a few ordinary pots of flowers.
After receiving the silver, the family of four went to tour the prefecture city. The three old men stayed at the flower shop, and the few old workers had not seen each other for a long time, so they chatted.
“Aunt!” The family of four arrived at the Guo family’s rice Shop. Coincidentally, third aunt Gu was at the counter filling rice for someone.
“Ya! Second brother, second sister-in-law, da ya, er ya, come and sit, wait for me!” Third aunt Gu asked in surprise.
Then, she quickly weighed the rice for them, calculated the bill on the abacus, received the money, and sent the guest away. She asked them to wait for a while before she went back to the inner room to call for them.
There was no shopkeeper in the rice Shop, only a waiter who helped out. Third aunt Gu went to call her mother-in-law out.
Then, he brought his second brother’s family into the house.
Guo Wan came out to take a look and saw that there were only four people. She greeted them and went back.
As for Guo Yan, he was still in bed.
Third uncle had gone out with his classmates to attend a poetry session this morning.
“Second brother, second sister-in-law, are you the only ones here? Father, mother, and Huihui sisi aren’t here yet?” Asked Gu Sangu after she brought out some tea and snacks.
“Father and mother are at the flower shop. We’ll be going back to the village in a while. We’ll come back in two days.” Gu shouxin took a sip of tea and said.
“Oh, mom and dad went to see uncle Hua! Then I’ll leave after lunch! I’ll invite you to the newly opened food appetizer in the prefecture. It’s not bad. I asked Rui ‘er to bring his father back. Let’s go and get our parents and uncle Hua to come with us!” Third aunt Gu said.
“Third aunt, let’s talk about eating later! Take us to the cosmetic and jewelry shops, we’ve never been there before!” Gu Nian said.
“Deal! Then let’s go for a walk! Wait for me, I’ll change my clothes. Right, second brother, don’t you want to continue your studies? I’ll bring you to Rui ‘er’s father’s poetry meet later and chat with the scholars. You’ll have an exam next month!” Third aunt Gu stood up and said.
“Sure! Third sister, you can bring me there later!” Gu shouxin nodded.
He had met his third uncle three times, and after these three times, he had more or less gotten a grasp of his third uncle’s abilities. If his third uncle performed as usual, he would definitely have no problem passing the second half of the year.
Moreover, his third uncle was an upright person, so he should have good friends. He could also see if the scholars of this dynasty gathered together like in his previous era.
