Chapter 1037: Satisfaction
As Gu Yunjiao had guessed, after Wu Family’s eldest uncle received Jiang Youzhi’s letter, although it did not contain a definite reply, he eventually sent a servant to Jinyang County to inquire about the newly arrived county magistrate.The servant returned and said that he went to the county government, but there were few people there, and heard that the new county magistrate had gone to the countryside to urge the villagers to plant potatoes.
Wu Family’s eldest uncle was a bit surprised to hear this, as he had never seen such a hands-on county magistrate.
Previously, he hadn’t taken seriously the praises in Jiang Youzhi’s letter, as when Jiang Youzhi got married, he went to the capital, and he could tell that Youzhi cherished his wife greatly, so there must have been some exaggeration in those praises.
Upon seeing this, Youzhi was indeed not exaggerating,
Wu Family’s eldest uncle pondered for himself, an eighteen-year-old top scholar, his learning must be impeccable.
A conversation appointed by the Emperor, that had no exaggeration.
Furthermore, he was willing to come to this difficult Southern frontier and work steadfastly; this young man cannot go wrong in the future.
Wu Family’s eldest uncle was already inclined to agree, but he still wanted to see Gu Chuan with his own eyes.
Taking advantage of a trip outside, he deliberately brought his daughter when passing through Jinyang County.
Wu Family’s eldest uncle sent a card to the county government, as they were now relatives, he should rightly meet Gu Chuan when passing through Jinyang County.
Gu Chuan received the card, feeling both happy and nervous. Hearing that they were already at the door, he hurriedly went out to invite the father and daughter into the county government.
Upon seeing Gu Chuan, Wu Family’s eldest uncle felt that this young man looked upright, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, clearly not someone with a mind full of deceit.
The Wu Family were straightforward by nature and couldn’t get along with those who had too many tricks up their sleeves.
Looking at his daughter again, her cheeks were slightly red, but her eyes shone brightly.
The two young people had already begun chatting on their own.
Wu Family’s eldest uncle and his daughter stayed for a meal at the county government.
Gu Chuan disliked the meals prepared by the maidservants, feeling they weren’t presentable, so he personally went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes.
It was the first time Wu Family’s eldest uncle saw a man in office personally cook, and he had to admit, the dishes tasted quite good.
After the meal, the satisfied Wu Family’s eldest uncle left with his daughter.
Once they left, Gu Chuan happily did a few flips in the courtyard. His sister had previously informed him in a letter that his brother-in-law had already mentioned the matter to Wu Family’s eldest uncle.
Since they specially came today and stayed for a meal, the matter was almost certain.
So he quickly returned to his room to write a letter, as marriage requires the command of parents and the words of a matchmaker, and he couldn’t make the decision himself.
Gu Yuheng was just feeling happy, but then started to feel a bit uneasy, "After all, the Wu Family isn’t an ordinary family, and our family background, with me being just a doctor, might not match up."
"Father, you can be reassured, since Xiao Chuan wrote a letter mentioning marriage, there must be some certainty, and he’s not a reckless person."
Gu Yuheng nodded, "Then I’ll write him a letter in a while to discuss the matter of me and Aunt Hua going to the Southern frontier."
Soon it was the New Year, and shortly after, Gu Yuheng and Aunt Hua began to pack their belongings.
Gu Yunjiao wasn’t very comfortable with the two of them traveling alone, so she went to a security agency to hire two bodyguards to escort them to the Southern frontier.
Once Gu Yuheng and Aunt Hua left, the business at the shop visibly increased.
Gu Yunjiao was busy all day long, so she simply promoted Zhang Shun to shopkeeper, while Ah Tie was put in charge of the counter.
Ah Er, who had been doing odd jobs for over ten years, was now competent, and he started preparing medicine at the counter.
Additionally, two more masters for medicine preparation were hired.
After a few months, Gu Yuheng wrote a letter saying that the marriage had been arranged with the Wu Family and that the formal engagement ceremony was about to take place.
