There were no imperial guards in the yard, and the village chief felt much more at ease. Holding a cane, he expressed his doubts to Xiao Jin.

"I don't know what it means for your lord to order someone to come over here?"

Xiao Jin didn't answer him, but looked at Su Mo, "I heard that Mrs. Gu invited a lot of farm laborers?"

Su Mo was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect the topic to jump to herself, but she still nodded, admitted the matter, and told the reasons one by one.

The village head heard something, but Xiao Jin didn't say anything, so he naturally pretended to be puzzled.

Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Jin shifted his gaze to the village chief, with a gentle tone of warning.

"Even so, I would like to trouble the village chief to be more considerate. As for the masters of the village school, the results of the township examination will be released in a few days. If there is a suitable one, the official will help arrange one or two."

Hitting a stick and then giving a sweet date is a common trick used by superiors. The village chief was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly responded, "Don't worry, my lord, the subordinate will definitely take care of you."

Su Mo now also understands that Xiao Jin is selling it to her.

She lowered her eyes slightly, did not speak, but waited for the village chief to leave before saluting to Xiao Jinfu, "For the matter of the fields, thank you sir."

Xiao Jin smiled slightly and waved his hands, "Madam Gu doesn't think it's better for me to meddle in other people's business."

This was really hard to answer, Su Mo smiled back and didn't speak again.

And the master behind Xiao Jin also helped his forehead helplessly, sometimes his master's words were really out of tune.

He sighed inwardly, and stepped forward to break the awkward atmosphere, "Master, there is still something to do in the yamen, we should go back."

Su Mo immediately took the words, and said with a slight blessing, "Since the lord still has other affairs to deal with, the women will not leave the lord alone."

Xiao Jin nodded embarrassingly, put his hands behind his back, and walked away from Gu's house.

The carriage slowly disappeared at the end of the road. Su Mo looked away and walked slowly towards the bathroom.

Gu Ping'an washed up inside.

Listening to the sound of water, Su Mo knocked on the door, "Why didn't your uncle come back?"

Gu Pingan, who was twisting the veil, kept moving, and replied at the top of his voice: "Master, he said that he would go to the fields of Xishan to have a look."

Potatoes were planted in the wasteland, and they had been handed over to the farm laborers to take care of them. Su Mo thought that Gu Qinhan was going to see if the farm laborers were working hard, so he didn't ask any more questions.

She turned around and was about to go to the kitchen to check how the porridge was doing, when she saw Gu Qinhan walking in with wild vegetables in both hands.

She paused.

Gu Qinhan raised his hand slightly, and said: "I think these wild vegetables are good, so I picked some, and I will make wild vegetable dumplings with noodles later."

Su Mo thought this proposal was good, thought for a while, and said, "I remember there is still a small piece of meat in the water tank, so it's time to chop it into pureed meat for stuffing."

Autumn is cool, and the water is icy. Put a small wooden basin in the water tank, put the meat in a bowl, put it in the basin, and cover it with wooden boards, so the meat will not spoil overnight.

"Sure, do as you say."

Gu Qinhan was slightly relieved when he saw that he had fooled around, and responded with a smile, then changed the topic again.

"But it's time-consuming. Let's wait for Ping An and the others to go to the village school for our competition?"

Su Mo had no objection and nodded in response.

Wild vegetable dumpling is not eaten every day, the three children quite like it, especially the meat stuffing inside is delicious, Gu Xingnian babbled, and ate three of them in a row.

She ate the noodles sticking to her fingers, and then stared at the bowl on the table, planning to eat another one.

Su Mo stretched out his hand to stop her, pointed at her round belly, and could not refute, "This is too much to digest, and if you are still hungry, I will make you another half bowl of porridge."

After Gu Qinhan got up, he cooked the porridge, just white porridge, boiled it and then simmered it slowly, now put a little sugar in it, it is soft and sweet, it is best digested.

The little girl pouted, reluctantly withdrew her hand, and rejected Su Mo's offer to make porridge for her.

Gu Ping'an's appetite has greatly increased since practicing martial arts, and he tends to be on par with Su Mo. After eating four wild vegetable dumplings and two bowls of porridge, he burped comfortably.

Su Mo stared at him, seeing that Gu Pingan was eating as much as usual, so he didn't stop him. As a result, Gu Xingnian, who was on the side, was very jealous, and secretly stared at Gu Pingan several times.

Brother smelly!
After breakfast, the two brothers Gu Pingan took their things to the village school.

Gu Jinnian was thinking about something, and when he left, he quietly glanced back at Su Mo and Gu Qinhan.

Gu Qinhan skillfully cleaned up the dishes, while the little girl sat on the pony to bask in the sun.

I didn't feel it when I was eating, it would come back, my stomach was swollen, and she didn't dare to tell Su Mo, she thought about the situation when Su Mo rubbed her stomach before, stood up, walked slowly Rub your belly.

How could Su Mo not notice, she shook her head helplessly, walked over, and stopped the little girl.

"Stomach full?"

Gu Xingnian stopped her feet, her guilty eyes wandered from side to side, her fingers rubbed back and forth, and she didn't dare to speak.

Su Mo raised her hand, rubbed the top of her head, and said softly, "Okay, mother is not angry, mother is just worried about you, after all, you don't feel good if you hold on, right?"

Gu Xingnian raised her head and blinked her eyes. Seeing that Su Mo was serious, she nodded, feeling a little aggrieved, "My stomach is swollen..."

Su Mo wanted to laugh but was helpless, picked her up and walked to the back room.

She asked Wang Luocheng to prescribe the pills for digestion, and the effect was quite good, and there were still some in the cabinet in the back room.

Su Mo put the little girl on the sofa, while he went to open the cabinet, took out a small bottle, and got a small black ball into the palm of his hand.

"Eat this, and lie down for a rest."

Xiaoshi balls are made from hawthorn, tangerine peel and other medicinal materials. The surface is coated with a layer of beeswax, which is sweet and sour.

Gu Xingnian has eaten it before, and still remembers the taste, so she will obediently take it and put it in her mouth.

Seeing that she was obedient, Su Mo rubbed her cheeks in relief, told her to rest in the room obediently, and went out by herself. After talking to Gu Qinhan, she went out.

She was going to find Xie Wenci.

At the beginning Xie Wenci said that Chief Fan Shan would go to Beijing with them, if Emperor Jing Yong didn't call her to Beijing, it would be a good thing.

But now that Emperor Jingyong ordered them to be escorted into Beijing by the imperial guards, it would be inconvenient instead.

So Su Mo decided to speak to Xie Wenci, lest Fan Shanzhang was still waiting for her news.

The academy was not far from Gu's house. Su Mo went there according to the time, and walked slowly all the way. When he arrived, the first class was about to end.

Su Mo went into the village school, walked to the room where Xie Wenci was teaching, looked through the open window, and saw Gu Pingan dozing off at a glance.

Su Mo: "..."

Well, it really made him too full.

And squinting, Gu Ping'an's head was like a chicken pecking at rice, suddenly felt a chill on his back, and his whole body suddenly woke up.

He turned his head to look at the window, but found nothing, frowned slightly, and scratched his head in wonder.

It's strange, I clearly felt a frightening look just now.

Gu Pingan didn't know that Su Mo found out that he was dozing off, and thought that he felt wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and didn't think much about it.

Fortunately, I caught up~
My mother made a video call for me, and I forgot the time while chatting~
