A husband found in the village? I bought a regent for a penny!

The Fu brick tea cake is brewed to a strong flavor and then mixed with plenty of sugar.

It can warm the body and refresh the mind, and also replenish the calories consumed by the body.

Meng Chengping took a sip and habitually praised, "Boss Gu's tea-making skills are getting better and better, almost catching up with my brother Mu."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something, turned his head to look at the two people in the middle of the room, and his expression became somewhat strange.

He Jinghui covered the teacup with both hands and exhaled a comfortable breath of hot air. "Loose tea has become popular in Beijing in recent years."

"But according to my taste, I prefer this strong, brewed tea."

He smiled at Gu Xixi and said, "Ah Zhao has a strange temper and a cold personality. He must have caused you a lot of trouble these days, right?"

"A little," Gu Xixi said truthfully, "but I've also caused him a lot of trouble."

For example, repeatedly trying to pair him up with a woman of questionable character.

For example, make him a coachman, a servant to chop wood and carry water.

For example, they encouraged him to become a village school teacher.

……

Gu Xixi paused, then smiled faintly, "In short, no one really lost out."

He Jinghui, of course, had no idea what had happened to Mu Nanzhao in Huachidu Village, and simply assumed that Gu Xixi was just being polite.

"That lad is lucky; he met a benefactor like Madam Gu."

"First they took him in and took care of him, and this time they braved the heavy snow to travel thousands of miles to rescue him."

"If it weren't for Madam Gu going to deliver the message and General Meng leading troops to our rescue in time, the three of us would probably be in trouble today..."

When he spoke of something moving, even his shrewd and calculating fox-like eyes were filled with sincerity.

"I would like to thank you both again with tea instead of wine."

Gu Xixi nodded slightly and took a small sip in return.

Meng Chengping, however, casually held up his teacup and laughed, "Isn't it a bit too perfunctory to use tea instead of wine?"

He Jinghui chuckled loudly, “Indeed, it’s not enough to express my feelings.”

"Otherwise, once things have calmed down in the next couple of days, I'll prepare some fine wine and invite General Meng to drink until we're completely drunk, how about that?"

Meng Chengping gave him a high five, "Okay, it's settled then!"

At this moment, He Jinglan turned around somewhat unhappily, "Ah Zhao is still resting, can you please stop arguing?"

He Jinghui shrugged, gesturing for silence, then whispered in Meng Chengping's ear:

"There's nothing we can do. My younger sister has been spoiled by the whole family since she was little. She has a bad temper and is not easy to mess with."

Meng Chengping nodded with an "I see" expression, but glanced at Gu Xixi with amusement.

One of them is the original owner who bought Mu Nanzhao, and today he has also been saved by him.

The other is her childhood sweetheart, with whom she has shared hardships, a truly touching story.

These two women have met. Who knows whether Mu Nanzhao will face a blessing or a curse when he wakes up?

Gu Xixi knew without guessing that Meng Chengping was up to no good, so she just buried her head in her tea and ignored him completely.

One reason was that she had been riding a horse for two consecutive days and was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers.

Secondly... she was trying hard to recall the plot of the original book.

Although she hadn't listened to the entire book, she knew that He Jinglan was also a relatively important supporting female character.

Both the He and Mu families are prominent and influential clans.

He Jinghui and He Jinglan, siblings, often stayed at the Mu family's house when they were young.

The elders of the He family were even more inclined to bring He Jinglan and Mu Nanzhao together.

However, his two children were still young, and Mu Nanzhao had entered officialdom at a young age, keeping him busy all day long, so he had no time to get married and start a family.

He Jinglan's family also wanted to wait until their daughter grew up and became more sensible, and then ask for her opinion before making a decision.

Little did they know that this delay would lead to unforeseen circumstances.

The palace underwent a dramatic change; Mu Nanzhao was branded a traitor overnight, and his fate remains unknown.

The book says that before Gu Qingye, Mu Nanzhao did not understand true love between men and women.

He Jinglan was the only girl he was close to, and both families tacitly approved of her relationship with him.

Therefore, before fleeing the capital, Mu Nanzhao implicitly agreed that he would one day marry He Jinglan.

Until he fell in love with Gu Qingye, his feelings naturally changed.

Gu Xixi used the teacup to cover her face and peeked into the inner room.

This Miss He seems to be deeply in love with Mu Nanzhao.

If Mu Nanzhao and Gu Qingye's fate has already ended.

Will He Jinglan naturally take her place and become Mu Nanzhao's true love?

Gu Xixi was lost in thought when He Jinglan suddenly stood up and walked towards the outer room.

Gu Xixi withdrew her gaze and poured a bowl of sweet tea. "Miss He, please sit down and have something hot."

He Jinglan, dressed in men's clothing, looked dashing and confident. She sat down next to Gu Xixi with ease and said, "Thank you."

“We’ve been through thick and thin together, calling me Miss He is too formal. Miss Xixi, just call me Jinglan.”

He Jinglan's delicate, porcelain-doll-like face was originally very pretty, but combined with her dignified demeanor, it added a touch of heroism, making her look even more lively and endearing.

Gu Xixi had a good first impression of her and replied cooperatively, "Jinglan."

He Jinglan smiled happily, a stark contrast to her previous cold and stern demeanor as she killed Magistrate Ma.

"You'll be keeping watch tonight, Xixi. Could you tell us how Azhao is doing in the village? Is he having a hard time adapting?"

He Jinghui interjected, "Just say it directly, you just want to hear what embarrassing things happened to Master Mu Nanzhao, who has been like an immortal since childhood, is obsessive about cleanliness, picky, and aloof."

Gu Xixi and Meng Chengping both laughed when they heard this.

Since it was a casual chat, Gu Xixi didn't mind talking about some harmless topics.

He Jinglan was shocked: "What? He can chop wood and carry water?"

"He was extremely clean and hated the smell of animals since he was a child, yet he actually drove a mule cart himself?"

"He has the least patience for children. The village schoolteacher? Xixi, you're not kidding, are you?"

……

Even He Jinghui was shocked and exclaimed, "Brilliant! That move was truly brilliant!"

"If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I would never have believed that he would be babysitting in the village. Let alone anyone else."

Gu Xixi's impression of Mu Nanzhao was further confirmed by the words of the He siblings.

Everyone knows that such a powerful and noble young man doesn't belong here.

Even though he has temporarily fallen from grace, Huachidu Village and the farming life there will ultimately remain only a memory for him.

but……

Gu Xixi smiled and rested her chin on her hand, gazing at He Jinglan.

This girl is much better than Gu Qingye. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also remarkably straightforward. Furthermore, she and Mu Nanzhao know each other intimately, were childhood sweethearts, and are a perfect match...

Gu Xixi had unconsciously thought of so many benefits, and suddenly felt ashamed of herself for thinking too much.

She's at most Mu Nanzhao's temporary partner now, not his biological mother!

At this moment, He Jinglan turned to Gu Xixi and asked, "Xixi, do you like Azhao?"

The incident happened so suddenly that Gu Xixi couldn't help but spit out her tea.

She stared at He Jinglan in surprise, "Huh?"

He Jinglan smiled and leaned closer to Xixi, "What are you laughing at? You've had him for over half a year now, hasn't anything happened yet?"

"No." Gu Xixi denied it without hesitation.

She likes Mu Nanzhao? Impossible! Unless she's incredibly stupid!
