The ugly princess

Chapter 223 Come out to jump again?
"Grandpa Lizheng, the children's entrance exam is such a big deal, how many people in our village signed up for the children's entrance examination?"

Gu Qingyu wanted to ask if anyone from the old Gu's family was going, and if so, Han Mochu had to be careful.

Gu Qingyu of the first room is 17 years old this year. He failed the entrance examination three times. Gu Qinggui of the second room is 16 years old and has also passed the examination twice. He also failed the entrance examination. It is estimated that he will definitely sign up today.

"There are quite a few people who signed up this time. There are already ten children in the village who have signed up, two from the old Gu's family and one from the Liang family..." Li Zheng moved his eyes and counted the big guys carefully.

"The people in the first and second rooms of the old Gu's family are so bad-hearted, if one day their baby is really allowed to pass the exam, then I don't know if it will be a disaster?
It's different for people like us Mo'er, who know how to respect elders at such a young age, and have a smart head, and they will definitely be admitted to Tongsheng someday, and maybe they will be admitted to the Juren Master, so mad at Mr. Gu, that foolish bastard. "

Lizheng's mother-in-law said indignantly that she really felt that this Mo'er was many times better than the boy from the old Gu's family.

The boys in the old Gu's family all have eyes on the top of their heads, and they don't even say hello when they see their elders. Because they have a grandfather who was born as a child, they often look down on the children in the same village. Such children are really unattractive like.

Mrs. Han patted Han Mochu's head. After hearing Granny Lizheng's words, she really hoped that her family's Mo'er would be successful and make the old Gu family regret going. They didn't want Mo'er back then.

……

Before going to bed, Gu Qingyu went to Granny Yan and asked her if she had any medicine that could stabilize Han Mochu's illness for a period of time.

Granny Yan said yes, she could stabilize Han Mochu's illness for two days at a time, but she offered a high price of 100 taels of silver.

When Gu Qingyu heard about 100 taels of silver, she felt pain, but in order to fulfill Han Mochu's younger brother, she reluctantly agreed.

Two days later.

Lizheng helped Gu Qingyu's family find a group of masons. There were eleven people in the team. Since the work was going to start today, the masons used a carriage with a frame to pull a large cart of tools.

This mighty group of people entered the village and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Hey, isn't Master Xu the leader of the mason team? Why did you bring such a large group of people to our village? Who in our village is so generous and invited the most famous mason team in the town?"

Among the villagers, there were people who often went to the town to buy vegetables. They recognized the leader, Master Xu, and their faces were full of astonishment.

In the past, the villagers of Muyun Village used to build houses, at most, they found two or three masons from the neighboring village who often helped others build houses, and then they found a few helpers from the village to build the houses.

In order to save money, some families just make do with their own houses. No one has ever hired such a large team of masons. Everyone is really curious.

"I've also heard about Master Xu's team of masons. Each person pays [-] Wen a day, and lunch and dinner are included.

With such a large group of people, most of the taels were lost in one day, it hurts to see, who is so rich? "The villagers were discussing with each other, and there was a great commotion among the crowd.

"Guess, guess, what's there to guess, then Master Xu is a fellow from my same village, won't I know if I ask?"

Mrs. Xu came out from the side twisting her buttocks. In recent days, their old Gu family has kept a low profile, but they haven't jumped around for a few days. If she finds an opportunity to show off, she will never let it go.

When everyone saw Xu who spoke, their eyes changed, and some villagers even looked at each other, full of disdain.

But everyone really wanted to know which family built the house, so they chose not to open their mouths and let Mrs. Xu go for a walk.

"Oh, Brother Xu."

Seeing that no one objected to her, Mrs. Xu hurriedly raised her voice triumphantly, and walked towards Master Xu who was at the front of the mason team.

"Sister, you are marrying into this village." Master Xu paused when he saw Xu before recognizing her.

Master Xu felt that he was not familiar with this Xu family before, but after all, he did greet him so warmly, so he didn't want to save his face, so he just greeted with a smile.

"Yes, my husband's surname is Gu, and my father-in-law is the elder of this village. Brother Xu comes over to drink water when he is free. My house is next to the largest second courtyard. Who are you here to build a house for?"

Xu pointed in the direction of her house and showed off triumphantly. She always felt that the house of the old Gu's family gave her a special face. Few people in this village could live in the yard twice.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely go there when I have time. It just so happens that we are here today to build a house for a family surnamed Gu. Could it be a relative of yours?"

Master Xu felt a little disgusted when he saw Xu Shi being so embarrassing, but he still twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

"No, no, yes..."

From Master Xu's words, Xu also deduced who built the house. The smile on his face froze instantly, and he shook his head in embarrassment.

"A family with the surname Gu? There are only three families with the surname Gu in our village. Needless to say, the old Gu family, it is unlikely that the Gu Fenglin family will build a house. Well, it can't be the third Gu family, right?"

"Didn't you say that the old Gu family paid 30 taels of silver to the third Gu family?"

"That must be their family. Oh my god, this is too much money. Although the 30 taels of silver is a lot, it's not such a waste of time. Hiring such an expensive mason is really a money loser!"

The villagers didn't want to offend Master Xu, so they just discussed in a low voice.

"Brother Xu, are they going to build an ordinary mud house?"

Mrs. Xu did not give up. Hiring such an expensive mason would cost a lot of money, and the 50 taels of silver for that little bitch would definitely not be able to build a big house.

She couldn't compete with Gu Qingyu's family in other things, so she didn't believe that little bitch's family could build a house bigger than their old Gu's family.

"It can't be a mud house. If we only build ordinary mud houses, how can we hire masons with good wages and work? They want to build two yards.

Sister, I won't tell you any more, I'm still in a rush to start work, so I'm leaving first. "Master Xu said a few words casually, and then led the team away.

What?That little slut's family actually wanted to build a second house, Xu Shi was so angry that he almost bit his lower lip, if he knew earlier, he wouldn't come out to show his prestige, and now it's not going to end well.

"Mr. Xu, look at you, I really thought you were the only one with a second yard. Look at your yard. It sounds like a second yard, but if you put it badly, it's just a broken house with leaks, haha -"

The big guys couldn't get used to Xu's arrogance, and they all laughed. They knew how dilapidated the old Gu's yard was.

"That's better than none of you."

Xu retorted without confidence, wishing that there would be cracks in the ground for her to hide in, her neck and face were flushed with shame and anger.
