Chapter 198 Chapter 198

"Master, we have reached the foot of the mountain."

Xia Chun summoned her master, who was in a trance, to call the soul god, and Gu Aman was stunned. When she saw the fallen leaves on the mountain, she realized that today is the day to accompany her grandmother to offer incense.

"Go and see if grandma is here. If not, let's wait in the car for a while."

Xia Chun responded and saw Zhou's mother and daughter's carriage as soon as they opened the curtain. They must have stayed in the carriage for too long. Zhou Xixi was supporting Sun who was a little dizzy, blowing the wind on the side of the road.

Hearing someone saluting suddenly, when he turned his head, he realized that the little girl who came up to talk to him looked familiar.

"Are you the maid next to Sister Ah Man?"

Xia Chun replied crisply, "Exactly, today I will come with my master to offer incense."

Xia Chun said, and sent a few tangerine peel plums wrapped in a handkerchief, "My master just watched from a distance, Mrs. Zhou felt a little unwell, so she asked me to bring these plums."

"Mrs. Zhou, try to have one and it will be much better."

Looking at the things brought up, and at her own mother, Zhou Xixi also bothered the maid, and went up to take it directly, "Thank you, Miss."

After it was delivered to Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Sun put it in her mouth and sipped two.

The plum is sour and sweet, the tangerine peel is mellow, and there are some mint kernels in it, but it is very refreshing on the body, and even the dizziness caused by the bumpy mountain road has been relieved a lot.

Zhou Xixi saw that her mother's complexion had improved a lot, and quickly passed the rest of the words to Mei.

"I'm much better now. You can go with Miss Xia Chun and have a conversation with Miss Gu Si. You are not too different in age, so you should be able to talk together?"

Zhou Xixi was not at ease, and said softly, "Let's wait for brother to come over."

As soon as he said that, a honest voice came from the top of the mountain road, "I borrowed some spring water from the monk beside me, mother, please drink some."

The one who came was a young man who had just reached the weak crown, dressed in the most common kudzu shirt, of medium height, with an ordinary and handsome face, the kind of ordinary man who was thrown into the crowd and couldn't be found for most of the day.

However, Xia Chun was very interested in this person. If he guessed correctly, the person who called Sun as his mother was the stepson adopted by the Zhou family from the family, and he was the man whom Sun wanted his master to marry.

"Master, I have met that stepson of the Zhou family." When she came back, Xia Chun explained to Gu Aman in detail what she saw, "It looks like an ordinary man, but he cares about Mrs. Zhou's wife very much. Filial."

Gu Aman smiled without saying a word, and lifted a corner of the curtain.

It's strange to say that they were separated by a long distance, but after the other party fed Sun's water again, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

But only for a moment, the other party turned his head away.

"It is indeed a very ordinary face." It is not comparable to Liu Xuanzhi and Xiao Xi's peers, "But if it is really so ordinary, how could Sun who has been in business all his life fall in love with him?"

Xia Chun seemed to understand, "Master, what you mean is... this person, is he so powerful?"

Gu Aman put back the car curtain, "It doesn't matter if we are serious or not."

After all, she, Gu Aman, would not have anything to do with the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhu fed Mrs. Sun some water, only to find that Zhou Xixi was holding plum blossoms on her handkerchief, "Is this what the girl sent over?"

Although Zhou Zhu is Zhou Xixi's elder brother in name, Zhou Xixi doesn't have any special feelings for this elder brother, let alone the so-called blood relationship.

She nodded indifferently, "The fourth girl from the Gu family brought the things here, and the one just now was her maid."

Speaking of this, Zhou paused for a moment, because the reason why they appeared here was for the marriage between Zhou Zhu and Gu Aman.

Zhou Xixi was a little surprised when she received a post from Zhou's aunt asking them to come and offer incense.

She didn't think that her stepson from the Zhou family could take on the fourth girl from the Gu family. After all, that girl was one of the best in Shangjing in terms of talent, name, and appearance.

Even if the two are cousins, Zhou Zhu is not good enough for Gu Aman.

But for some unknown reason, Mrs. Zhou agreed, and it is said that Mrs. Gu will also come today, which means that Mrs. Gu also acquiesced.

She felt that something was wrong, but looking at her happy mother, she couldn't explain it clearly, so she had to come along with her.

Hearing Zhou Zhu's inquiry, Sun had a faint smile on her face, "Among the daughters of Gu's family, Ah Man is the most thoughtful."

He said to Zhou Zhu, "Take a good look later, she has a good temper, although there are some bad rumors outside, but as long as you have met people, you will know that they are not true."

Zhou Zhu replied yes, but there was an inexplicable light in his lowered eyes.

He has heard all the rumors outside.

An unfavored daughter who was abandoned by the Gu family.

The leader of a poetry competition, the chief of Hongxia Mountain.

He was very curious, how could such a woman with completely opposite rumors come here to see him?

After waiting for a while, I saw that there was a horse-drawn carriage coming on the mountain road, and it was under the banner of the Gu family.

"Master, the old lady's car is here." Xia Chun asked, "Shall we go down together to meet her?"

Gu Aman didn't respond, there were so many people in the Gu residence, she thought that at least three or four carriages would come today, but there were only two.

"hold on."

She wasn't sure which carriage was holding her grandmother, so she simply waited for her to get down before passing.

Although a little disrespectful, she really didn't want to confront Zhou Shi.

But Mrs. Zhou led Gu Rou and Gu Zhen down, and then Gu Mingluan in the carriage behind also got down, but the grandmother didn't come down.

Gu Aman frowned, didn't grandma come?

Or did something happen?

As soon as he saw Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Sun led her daughter to greet him. After a long exchange of pleasantries, Mrs. Sun solemnly introduced her stepson—Zhou Zhu.

Mrs. Zhou looked down on this stepson a little bit. She didn't know how her elder brother chose him, but his appearance was not outstanding at all. He was afraid that if he met him today, he would not be able to remember his appearance tomorrow.

Fortunately, it was Gu Aman who married.

Thinking of the large dowry Sun and her elder brother promised to herself, Zhou narrowed her eyes with a smile.

"Sure enough, he is a talented son, sister-in-law is so lucky."

For Zhou Zhu, Sun is naturally very satisfied. She wanted to discuss some private matters with Zhou, so she asked Zhou Xixi to take Zhou Zhu to meet other cousins.

Gu Mingluan glanced at him, nodded his head, and didn't even call his cousin, even if he had seen him.

As the concubine daughter of the Gu family, who is going to marry the prince in the future, she does have the qualifications to look down on her.

On the contrary, Gu Rou was very good-tempered towards this cousin, and with the well-behaved and somewhat dull Gu Zhen, she greeted Zhou Zhu with "cousin" one by one.

That enthusiasm was flattering, which made Gu Mingluan look down on Gu Rou's petty attitude even more.

"As expected of a thin horse from Yangzhou, I get excited when I see a man."

Gu Mingluan was too lazy to stand stupidly with this group of people, compared to them, she was more interested in Gu Aman who hadn't got off the car for a long time...
