Chapter 186

This arrangement was simply a surprise to Mu Si.

Resisting the excitement in his heart, he silently tapped Mu Er with his elbow, and after passing his eyes, he responded reluctantly.

"My subordinates know."

Su Mo didn't know that someone had guessed Gu Qinhan's whereabouts by mistake, and she was busy making clothes for Gu Qinhan right now.

Gu Jinnian went back and forth to the house many times, without saying a word, just pursed his lips and looked at the sewing basket beside Su Mo.

Gu Qinhan was standing in the yard, through the window, he could clearly see the sullen look on Gu Jinnian's face, his lips curled up and his brows were full of satisfaction.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Mo prepared the incense table early, and woke up the three children. After they got dressed, they helped tie up their hair.

Su Mo didn't know if the black armored guard would come with the new county magistrate this time. To be on the safe side, she found Gu Qinhan and asked him to go to Xishan for a stroll.

"Today the county magistrate is coming home. It's a serious matter. You go to Xishan to take shelter. I'll pick you up when it's over."

Gu Qinhan was a little reluctant, and looked down at Su Mo.

"I do not want to go…"

Su Mo raised her eyes slightly and bumped into his eyes.

Her brown eyes were so clear that she was the only one there.

Su Mo was suddenly a little dazed. She tried her best to hold back the weird emotions in her heart, bit her tongue, and the tingling sensation made her wake up.

A proper smile appeared on Su Mo's face. Subconsciously, like coaxing a child, she tried to stand on tiptoe, trying to rub Gu Qinhan's head.

However, he found that Gu Qinhan was really a little tall, and his hand in the air paused slightly, and finally landed on his shoulder.

"Good, be obedient."

Her tone of voice is too gentle, and her behavior is like coaxing a naughty and rebellious big dog.

Gu Qinhan's eyes slanted slightly, and the white and slender hand that fell on his shoulder felt a little strange.

But he still agreed.

Without him, it was because Gu Qinhan felt that he couldn't refuse Su Mo.

The West Mountain was not far away, Gu Qinhan turned his head three times at every step, reluctantly went up the mountain, carrying a small basket on his back.

Su Mo has taught him many kinds of wild vegetables in the past few days, and the left and right injuries are almost healed. Let's go up the mountain and pick some wild vegetables.

At about four o'clock, Su Mo heard the sound of firecrackers and drums coming from the entrance of the village.

She put away all Gu Qinhan's things, closed the door and went out, then called Gu Pingan and the three of them to help arrange their clothes.

The incense table had been prepared long ago, and according to the village head's prompt, the incense table was placed in the hall.

The women and children in the village gathered around Gu's house, and the surrounding area was bustling with people. The Chen family's friends who were close to Su Mo even brought gifts.

"This is a happy event, just accept it."

Mrs. Li also came back, led several people, and handed the basket to Su Mo.

The exhaustion on her face hadn't dissipated, and the black eyes were clearly visible, but the joy on her face for Su Mo was also real.

Seeing her expression, Su Mo didn't refuse, took the basket and handed it to Gu Pingan, and asked Gu Jinnian to help take it in.

Then he grabbed Li Shi with his backhand.

Li Shi's hands were cold, Su Mo pursed her lips, and patted the back of her hand lightly.

"Sister-in-law, I know about that, and everything will be fine."

Warmth came from the back of the hand to the tip of the heart, Li's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded heavily.

The sound of firecrackers and drums gradually approached. Su Mo didn't stand with Mrs. Li, but led the three children and stood at the door waiting.

The musicians had already arrived at the gate of Gu's house, one row on the left and one on the left.

As the last firecracker was ignited, an official sedan chair carried by four people appeared in everyone's sight.

Mu Si was wearing a black dress, and Man Yi, who was wearing the official uniform of the government officials, followed the sedan chair on the left and right. Behind him were the neat and uniform government officials, the village chief and the men in the village.

They followed the village chief to meet the imperial decree.

Su Mo recognized Mu Si's face, and when she saw it from a distance, her eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't panic at all.

The official sedan chair stopped, and Xiao Jin in official uniform came out, holding the imperial decree in both hands.

Xiao Jin walked into the gate of the courtyard and opened the imperial decree written on silk yellow paper, "Gu Su accepted the decree."

After the words fell, Su Mo in the yard and all the villagers outside knelt down one after another according to the situation discussed earlier yesterday.

Su Mo, "The women listened respectfully to the oracle, long live long live long live long live."

Xiao Jin's eyes swept over Su Mo, who was bowing her head, and the three children behind her, and finally landed on the imperial decree.

"The Gu family has a wife in Luoshan Village, Haiyan County, Yazhou Prefecture..."

The content of the imperial decree was very long, mostly words of praise. Although Su Mo was kneeling, her waist was straight.

Until the past two quarters of an hour or so, it was even finally finished.

"...

Order, the fifteenth day of the first month of the 27th year of Yuan Yong. "

Su Mo didn't listen to what the imperial decree praised, but only listened to what it said, rewarding her with a thousand taels of silver.

With joy on his brows, Su Mo kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to accept the imperial decree, and put all the silver rewards carried by the yamen servants into the hall.

Xiao Jin didn't stay for long, and left after reading the imperial decree. Su Mo noticed that Mu Si was missing with sharp eyes, and his mind moved slightly.

Mu Si was also unlucky, so he checked all the houses of the Gu family carefully, but found no sign of Gu Qinhan.

He was a little decadent, with drooping eyebrows and eyes, thinking it shouldn't be.

How could he have miscalculated?

Mu Si left unhappy.

Gu Qinhan was also unhappy, bent over to pick the wild vegetables and put them into the basket, thinking to himself, "Why hasn't she come to pick me up?"

Many people from the Wang family wanted to go in to see what the imperial decree looked like, and also wanted to see the style of the 1000 taels of silver.

They were all stopped by the village head.

His eyes fell on the patriarch Wang who was hiding behind, and he said lightly, "Patriarch Wang, I remember that you also have more than ten acres of saline-alkali land in your home?"

The implication is, don't offend Gu Su too much, your saline-alkali land still needs other people's improvement methods.

The patriarch of the royal family suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, pulled his face, and drove back those who made a fuss, and walked back angrily.

It's just luck, you climbed up to Gu Su's family, what's there to be proud of, when Wang Xiucai is admitted to Juren, I will definitely go to Chen Wenzheng's prestige!

Su Mo didn't like the Wang family very much either. Seeing that they were sent away by the village chief, he raised his eyebrows and didn't speak out.

Just when he was about to leave, he waved his big hand and smiled at the village chief and Mrs. Li,
"Uncle, at the beginning this matter could not have been possible without your support. I am happy today. Some people will come to help buy two pigs in the afternoon. I will kill chickens and pigs tomorrow. Please have a meal."

When the people around heard it, their faces burst into joy.

The village head was not polite to Su Mo either. He turned his head with a smile and looked at his own clansman, "Did you hear that? Don't let me shout anymore tomorrow. You will come to help on your own initiative."

"heard it!"

Li Shi and the others agreed the loudest.

To buy pigs, you have to go to the county. The village head asked Su Mo to enshrine the imperial decree, and then took care of everything else.

"This is also a great event in the village. You go and enshrine the imperial decree. You don't have to worry about the rest. I will leave it to uncle."

Su Mo still remembered Gu Qinhan who was on the mountain in his heart, and when he heard this, he smiled and agreed.

"Then trouble uncle."

That's how it was settled.

The two had a tacit understanding and did not mention the Wang family.
