Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 1087: What an Idiot

"Hey." Gui Niu was delighted to have delicious food and happily accepted the food box handed by Gu Jinli, carrying it happily to the Luo family.

Gu Jinli watched her carrying the food box swiftly away and laughed, "Little one, you have quite some energy."

In no time, she carried two food boxes filled with fruit milk, fruit soy milk, and fruit jelly to the flower hall and handed one of the boxes to Zhu Chahua, "Take this to let Mrs. Jiang and her group have a taste."

Ms. Chu, Mrs. Jiang, Ms. Jiang, and Second Mrs. Xu were the female guests in the flower hall, entertained by Third Grandma and Mrs. Cui.

The young ladies gathered in her and Gu Jinxiu’s courtyard, with Gu Jinxiu personally entertaining them. The food in the other box was prepared for the ladies.

"Hey." Zhu Chahua took the food box to the flower hall and served each lady a bowl.

Mrs. Chen was talking with Second Mrs. Xu when she saw the fruit milk and fruit jelly, her eyes lit up, and she complained, "Xiao Yu, you girl, you have been hiding good stuff. Why didn’t you bring it out sooner?"

Gu Jinli laughed: "Aunt Da Gui didn’t ask me for it, you went to the kitchen yourself, how can you blame me?"

Implying Mrs. Chen had deliberately taken Xu Zhong to the kitchen to bump into Gu Dexing.

Mrs. Chen was at a loss for words, knowing this matter shouldn’t be known to outsiders, quickly smiled apologetically: "Aunt’s eyes are no good, didn’t see the fruit milk. Alright, this looks good, Yuanyuan will definitely like it, quickly take it to them to eat."

The little girl surely knows about her taking Xu Zhong to the kitchen, that’s why she subtly mentioned it.

Gu Jinli laughed, bowed to the ladies in the flower hall, and went back to her living courtyard with the food box.

"Sister Xiao Yu, fruit milk, Yuanyuan wants to eat." Shang Yuanyuan already lifted her skirt, ran over, and smiled up at Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli rubbed her little head and said: "I’ll get it for you. You can only eat a small bowl, eat too much and your stomach will act up."

Milk is easy on the bowel, and fruits are raw, Shang Yuanyuan is still young, eating too much of these isn’t good for the stomach.

Shang Yuanyuan was very obedient, nodded and said: "Okay, Yuanyuan listens to Sister Xiao Yu."

She helped Gu Jinli distribute fruit milk to the young ladies present.

Xu Zhong had never seen fruit milk or fruit jelly before, looked at the two beautiful foods, his eyes shining, praised: "Really beautiful."

"Also very tasty." Gu Jinxiu got on well with Xu Zhong, stood up and took a small jar of honey, scooped a little spoon on the fruit jelly: "Adding honey makes it even tastier, try it."

Xu Zhong picked up a spoon, scooped a piece of fruit jelly, tasted it, surprised: "Delicious, with the fragrance of fruits, the sweetness of honey, and a refreshing taste like crystal cake, truly nice."

Gu Jinxiu smiled and nodded: "The jelly wrapping the fruits is made using crystal cake flour."

"No wonder it has the refreshing taste of crystal cake." Xu Zhong used to think that even if the Qin Gu Luotian became wealthy, their lifestyle was definitely not as good as the wealthy families in the county. But after this visit, she dared not think so anymore, just one fruit jelly is a delicate item even the wealthy young ladies in the county haven’t tasted.

Xu Zhong was therefore increasingly satisfied with her marriage arrangement with Gu Dexing, very grateful to meet Gu Dexing.

...

The Xu family did not stay long at the Gu family, they took leave and returned past noon.

Mrs. Chen held Xu Zhong’s hand, reluctantly said: "You are a good girl, our whole family likes you very much, Aunt also feels we are connected, even dreamed of you last night, seems we were mother and daughter in a past life, we are a family. Come often to see Aunt in the future. Rest assured, Aunt understands the rules, she will personally send you those invitation cards."

Mrs. Chen said a lot, even making up the part about dreaming of Xu Zhong.

However, the Xu family was quite satisfied with this, knowing Xu Zhong and Gu Dexing’s marriage was settled.

"Aunt Gui, Linglong also feels we are connected, will come often to see you in the future." Xu Zhong saw Mrs. Chen was too enthusiastic, also promised.

Mrs. Chen was very happy, smiling broadly: "Great, great, come often. If Aunt goes to the county, she will visit you."

She added: "Aunt’s family runs a food shop, has lots of delicious things, if Aunt can’t go to the county, she will send Brother Xing to deliver some food to you."

"Mrs. Chen, it’s getting late, let Second Mrs. Xu’s family go, the county is quite far from here." Third Grandma glared at Mrs. Chen, warning her not to disregard the rules in her speech.

Not engaged yet and letting Brother Xing deliver things to Xu Zhong, only she would say that.

Mrs. Chen saw there were many outsiders, stopped rambling and, along with Third Grandma and Mrs. Cui, escorted the female guests of the Xu family away.

Xu Zhao Ming was escorted by Gu Jin’an and others.

Seeing Mrs. Chen’s attitude, Xu Zhao Ming was also pleased, knowing the second house’s marriage to Gu Dexing’s family was settled, took leave from Gu Jin’an and others, boarded the mule cart back to the county.

The Jiang family did not stay much longer, took the return gifts from Mrs. Cui and returned to the county with the Xu family.

Scholar Shang and those living nearby left relatively late, departing in the afternoon.

Yuanyuan was very reluctant to leave Gu Jinli, arranged the next visit with Gu Jinli before contentedly going home with Scholar Shang and his wife.

After sending Shang Yuanyuan away, Gu Jinli went to the kitchen to tidy up some food, carrying a cloth bag in one hand, a food box in the other, headed to the Qin family.

She used the back door of the house, going to the Qin family unnoticed.

Qin San Lang was already waiting at home for her, upon hearing footsteps, opened the door. Seeing her with a load of items, hurriedly took them saying: "Prepared so much again, you don’t need to prepare so much next time, I haven’t starved at the Military Office."

Gu Jinli joked: "You are complaining that the food I prepared is not tasty?"

Qin San Lang shook his head: "Nonsense, how could it be, the things Xiao Yu makes are the best."

Gu Jinli smiled contentedly, opened the food box, took out some fruit jelly for him: "Newly made, you haven’t tasted it, specially brought for you."

Qin San Lang took the fruit jelly she handed over, finished it in a few bites: "Delicious, not very sweet, specially made with less sugar for me?"

Gu Jinli: "It’s not specially made with less sugar for you, all have just a little sugar, Gui Niu and they like sweet ones, so add honey, doesn’t conflict."

Qin San Lang was very happy, more than if it was specially made less sweet for him.

"It’s getting late, I have to go." Every time he spoke these words, Qin San Lang felt uneasy.

Gu Jinli poked his face and laughed: "Then go, don’t be sad, you can come back in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Qin San Lang’s heart filled with intense joy, their engagement ceremony was in ten days.

Gu Jinli added: "If you are still unhappy, go and mess around with Zhong Yu a few more times."

Qin San Lang told her about Zhong Yu’s stories, and she felt he was a fool.

A fool is what someone plays with, messing with a fool provides lots of fun.
