Fast time travel: The sick and paranoid villains all spoil me

Chapter 2321 The Lost Miss of the Scholar's Family 70

Thinking about it is one thing, being pointed out is another.

How could the county magistrate look good?

Not to mention him, the clan elders in the ancestral hall also became trembling because of Gu Ruojiao's words, for fear that the county magistrate would be angry.

Only Gu Ruojiao didn't seem to know what rebellious words she said.

Seeing that everyone was frozen, he added innocently: "Fortunately, the folks and elders are all smart people, and they are not blind, so they know how to make their own judgments. Are you right, Fifth Uncle?"

Fifth Uncle just wanted her to shut up!

But he had to agree: "Of course, of course, the county magistrate is wise and impartial in judging the case, and the whole Yangliu Town knows it best."

Others also echoed: "Yes, yes, thanks to the presence of adults, our Yangliu Town can be so prosperous."

Only then did the county magistrate look better.

Then he straightened his face and put on an official air: "Although the matter of adopting is your Gu family's business, since you have invited me to come, I have the cheek to be a witness for you."

Uncle Wu: "Don't dare to dare, Caomin and others know that Your Excellency is the most fair and just, so they have the courage to invite you here. Your Excellency is willing to come, it is the glory of my Gu family."

He put himself and the Gu family's attitude extremely low, without any literati style.

No one expected that the Fifth Uncle would put on airs of a big family elder in the clan, but in front of the county magistrate, he nodded and bowed like a hermaphrodite (referring to an eunuch), and completely trampled the Gu family's face on the ground.

Not to mention Gu Ruojiao, the other clan elders couldn't help frowning upon seeing this.

Look at this fifth uncle who always said that he could talk in front of the county magistrate, but he turned out to be such a dog leg.

I think their Gu family is well-known in Yangzhou City, and their ancestors have produced several scholars and scholars. No matter how poor they are, they will not be so humble when they meet the county magistrate.

Several clan elders suddenly felt that their faces were very dull, but they couldn't say anything because of the county magistrate.

"Okay, let's start quickly. Should we continue to count tickets? Or think of a different way?" Uncle Seven annoyed Uncle Fifth, and his tone was a little offended.

Uncle Jiu stroked his beard: "These children each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but in terms of talent and learning, brother Yu is even better."

Second Uncle: "My brother Lian is not bad either. Although he is a bit lacking in talent and learning, he is smart and clever. After all, our Gu family is a family of merchants. What matters in business is cleverness and long-term vision, but talent and learning are secondary. "

In an instant, the uncles were talking to each other again, almost repeating the previous scene.

Gu Ruojiao was sleepy.

Uncle Wu was clever, he waited until they were blushing in the fight, then he pulled Brother Ju over and praised him verbatim in front of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate stroked his beard and nodded: "He is a good boy, and I think he is suitable."

Fifth Uncle smiled complacently.

The rest of the uncles were all flushed with anger, feeling that Fifth Uncle was shameless.

Eighth Uncle couldn't help looking at Gu Ruojiao.

For some reason, he just felt that she must have a way.

Unfortunately, Gu Ruojiao has no choice.

She is just a girl who has not left the court, and she is not even qualified to enter the ancestral hall, so she has no place to speak.

So she waved her fan, acting like she was really just following along to see.

Seeing her silence, the eighth uncle couldn't help being anxious: "Sister Ruo, didn't you just say that you want brother Yu to be your younger brother?! Brother Yu is the best no matter in terms of talent, learning or temperament! "
