In this case, Xu Laowu was embarrassed to say it, but suddenly there was another movement outside!

I heard Xu Laosi's voice outside...

"Hey, isn't this Master Gu? Master Gu? What brings you to our house? You are such a rare visitor! Come in quickly, come in quickly..."

Master Gu?

Xu Youde and Xu Zhang looked at each other!

Xu Jiaojiao was also curious... She seemed to have never met Xu Laowu's master and his family.

Looking at Xu Laowu again, he was so anxious that he was sweating all over his head. He looked very unnatural and stained...

Is it possible that what her fifth brother is about to say has something to do with his master?

There is no chance to say anything now, because people outside have already entered the yard.

Xu Laosi was in front, greeting him very warmly, and behind him were two middle-aged people, a man and a woman.

The man has dark skin, darker than Xu Laowu. He is also very strong. He is not very tall. His back is slightly bent, as if caused by long-term occupational diseases. His face is red, his facial features are rough, and he laughs loudly.

.

The woman was wearing a satin dress, with a doughy face, half of her face was pockmarked, and a big black mole on her face. She was middle-aged and had a chubby figure. When she smiled, she had crow's feet around her eyes.

The two of them also carried several packages of snack-like gifts in their hands.

The woman smiled as soon as she entered the door, "No, no, you are not a rare guest. We and I have long wanted to come to your house to live with you. This kid from Daqing is our proudest disciple. I usually regard him as half a son.

Our two families are just one family, and we won’t use polite words. By the way, has this kid from Daqing come back?”

Xu Laosi replied, "Fifth brother has just come back not long ago, and his buttocks are not hot. Master Gu, Master Gu, since you are coming, just ask fifth brother to bring him back. Why, one on the front and one on the back. Is there something urgent?

Looking for our fifth child?"

With that said, he reported in the direction of the main room, "Father, mother, Master Gu and Master Gu are here."

"Lao Wu, why don't you come out quickly to greet your master and your wife!"

…

The old couple Xu Youde and his wife in the main room rushed out to greet them.

Xu Jiaojiao also went out to watch the fun. Xu Laowu, who was at the back, seemed to have something to say, but it was inconvenient to say it at this time. He had a gloomy look on the back of the group of people.

When Xu Zhang and the others met Master Gu and Master Gu, they naturally had a cordial exchange of words.

We invited him to the main room to talk, and asked Mr. Xu to brew the best tea leaves from Mr. Xu’s family.

This tea leaf was given to Xu Jiaojiao by He Yanxi last time. Xu Jiaojiao didn't drink it herself, so she knew it was good tea, so she kept a pack of it, just for distinguished and rare guests.

Mr. Xu has been coveting this tea leaf for a long time, but he couldn't even get a sip of it.

Mrs. Xu Zhang asked him to make tea, and he was eager to do so. He said yes and ran off to make tea.

A few polite words.

Master Gu asked after Xu Youde and his wife, and then praised Xu Laowu for his diligence.

Then, with a quick glance, Xu Jiaojiao was spotted.

Mrs. Gu's eyes were full of affection. She glanced at her several times and said, "This is your lovely girl, she's so famous. It's better to meet her! It's nothing like the rumors. She's so beautiful and has skills."

, can make loquat paste, understand medical skills, and can also make wine. How can such a good girl be famous in our Shazhou County?"

Mrs. Xu Zhang said politely, "No, no, she is young, so don't praise her."

I felt quite happy.

Her old daughter's reputation for being capable has spread to Shazhou County. What a shame!

Xu Jiaojiao nodded slightly, with a polite and reserved smile on her face.

He is steady, young, and does not blush when praised, his heart does not beat, and he is calm and generous, which makes people even more fond of him.

Mrs. Gu admired her even more. She didn't believe it when she first heard rumors about how the old Xu family was and how the old daughter of the old Xu family was capable.

Others don’t know about the old Xu family, so doesn’t she know about it?

Xu Laowu was their apprentice. When Xu Laowu came to apprentice, they had learned about the situation of Lao Xu's family.

Not great.

They are just ordinary wealthy people from the countryside.

The only thing that makes sense and has a good reputation is that there was a scholar in the family.

The scholar even emptied his family fortune.

When I first became a disciple, the Gu family wanted to charge two taels of silver for the apprenticeship fee. Xu Laowu pleaded, saying that the family conditions were not good and that he would work harder in the future to pay off the debt, so they only charged one tael more.

However, recently, people in the streets and alleys of Shazhou County are talking about what happened in Qingshui Town down there. There is a family from Xujia Village who opened a wine shop and spent a few cents of money to collect new and creative wine names. This kind of strange thing naturally makes people wonder.

People talk about it.

Upon further investigation, it turns out that the old Xu family has a golden girl who is very capable. She was the one who made the loquat paste that was so popular in Shazhou County before, and now she has opened a big wine shop and so on...

The wine hasn't been brewed yet. First, we collect names for the wine, and we can get one or two silver coins.

When Mrs. Gu came here just now, she saw the big wine shop next to Lao Xu's house. It was well built and made of blue bricks and large tiles, just like their house in the county town.

But it cost a lot.

"Niece Jiaojiao is a good girl. It's a pity that I don't have a son at home, so I can't ask for marriage. I don't know who will take advantage of such a good girl in the future. If I marry niece Jiaojiao, it will be a blessing to my ancestors." Mrs. Gu.

The tone is exaggerated, and it can be seen that she sincerely thinks Xu Jiaojiao is good.

Xu Jiaojiao pretended to be a shy little daughter, smiled brightly, and hid behind Mrs. Xu Zhang.

Mrs. Xu Zhang laughed and said, "Master Gu, please stop praising my old daughter. If you continue to praise me, she will find a crack in the ground to crawl through. Also, we are engaged, Jiaojiao, to be from Liaojia Village next door.

Youngster Liao Qing, this youngster is also a good youngster, he is a perfect match for us Jiaojiao."

Mrs. Gu looked obviously pityful, "That's it! That's really a good thing. Presumably, Liao Qing's descendant should also be an outstanding good child."

When Lao Xu's family was polite to Master Gu and his wife, Xu Laowu stood aside feeling embarrassed and uneasy.

The whole person seemed to be suffering.

After talking about Xu Jiaojiao, Xu Zhang brought the topic back to Xu Laowu.

"Lao Wu has just come back, and Master Gu and his wife have arrived. Did we, Lao Wu, commit something and cause trouble for Master?"

Xu Zhang was always unsure about what was available and what was not available.

Especially when she saw Xu Laowu's worried look, she couldn't wait any longer and asked directly.

Master Gu was just drinking tea the whole time, and Master Gu was the only one talking.

Mrs. Gu did not answer directly, "Lao Gu and I both like this kid from Daqing. He is very hard-working and very discerning. He learned the craft from our Lao Gu and is able to endure hardships and stand hard work. You don't know that the blacksmith's trade requires strength.

To be able to endure hardship, we, Lao Gu, took on several apprentices, but they all gave up halfway, but Lao Wu supported him. He was even willing to work outside with his master, and he didn’t even want to pay him any wages. He was honest and reliable, and he was also a good person.
