Chapter 457 Mistakenly Recognizing a Fellow Villager

Lu Zhaozhao felt someone was looking at her, and that look made her feel quite uncomfortable.

Lu Zhaozhao looked over and saw a young man in green clothes in the corridor.

Gu Ruinian noticed that Lu Zhaozhao turned to face him, so he retracted his gloomy gaze and smiled at Lu Zhaozhao.

The change in expression made Lu Zhaozhao very unhappy, so she didn't turn her head. In Gu Ruinian's eyes, it seemed that Lu Zhaozhao was shy.

Gu Ruinian couldn't help but feel excited, secretly hating Gu Jingzhe for actually being engaged to such a beautiful girl.

Gu Ruinian and Gu Taohua talked to Old Madam Gu in the kitchen for a few words and then left.

"Grandpa, let's go back first." Gu Jingzhe said.

So the three of them left the old house together.

As soon as Lu Zhaozhao visited the old house, she understood that the old house and Aunt Tong did not get along.

After the three of them walked for a while, they heard Gu Ruinian calling "Sister Taohua".

"What's the matter?"

Gu Taohua turned around and saw Gu Ruinian following them.

Gu Taohua and Gu Ruinian have not gotten along since childhood.

In the past, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu were partial to Gu Ruinian and would always give the best meat and dishes to Gu Ruinian at the dinner table. Gu Taohua was dissatisfied with her grandparents' partiality and tried to snatch the meat from Gu Ruinian's bowl.

Gu Ruinian protected her and prevented her from snatching her things. They wrestled with each other during the dispute, and Gu Taohua always had the upper hand because she was stronger.

The resentment from their childhood battles made the two of them still dislike each other when they grew up.

Gu Taohua didn't understand what Gu Ruinian was calling her to do.

Gu Ruinian looked at Gu Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao, and said to Gu Taohua, "I have something I want to ask Sister Taohua."

In fact, every time Gu Ruinian saw her in the village during this period, he would come up to say hello and even chat with her.

Gu Taohua would always turn around and leave after listening impatiently.

Gu Taohua glanced at Gu Ruinian's small body and confirmed that she could still suppress Gu Ruinian if a fight broke out. So she gave Gu Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao a look to keep calm, then came to Gu Ruinian and said, "If you have anything to fart, do it now."

I don’t know what to say this time.

Gu Ruinian asked Gu Taohua: "Where does your dessert shop get all the cream?"

Gu Taohua said calmly, "You want to know? But why should I tell you?"

Gu Ruinian smiled strangely and said, "You don't have to tell me, I know where your recipe came from."

Gu Taohua pressed the joints of her hands until they crackled. When Gu Ruinian saw Gu Taohua's posture, the painful experience of being beaten by Gu Taohua when he was a child came back to his mind.

"Tell me, where did I get the recipe?" Gu Taohua asked.

Only she, her mother and her niece knew about the mysterious space in their home, and she was sure that it had not been leaked out.

She didn't know why Gu Ruinian wanted to test her cream recipe.

Anyway, no matter what, it is definitely not a good thing to ask this question from someone like Gu Ruinian who has bad intentions.

Gu Ruinian looked at Gu Taohua carefully and found that there was no clue on Gu Taohua's face.

It must be fake.

Facing Gu Taohua's questioning, he did not tell her how he knew the source of the Taohua dessert cream recipe, but instead asked Gu Taohua: "Are you willing to live like this?"

Gu Taohua was completely confused and had no idea what Gu Ruinian was going to show off next.

Why ask her this question?

Could it be that she would be like the other people in the village, with no one proposing to her?

Seeing that Gu Taohua was silent, Gu Ruinian sighed and said, "I know where you are from. You and I are from the same place. A capable girl like you, who can run a business and make cream, should not live in a small place like Qinghe Bay."

What does it mean that Gu Taohua and Gu Ruinian are from the same place?

Did he mean that Gu Taohua and he were both from the Gu family and had the same ancestor?

Gu Taohua said impatiently: "Even if you and I come from the same place, we are not the same kind of people. Qinghe Bay is where I was when I opened my eyes. If I'm not here, where would I be?"

A smile appeared on Gu Ruinian's lips.

The persistence in blocking the peach blossoms during this period of time finally made her reveal some clues.

Gu Ruinian was almost certain that the person who traveled through time from the first wife was neither Tong Huaqiong nor Gu Jingzhe, but Gu Taohua.

The last time he hummed Jay Chou's "Qilixiang", Gu Taohua paused.

This time she accidentally said that she was in Qinghe Bay as soon as she opened her eyes.

Since you are a time traveler, you can make use of it.

Gu Ruinian said: "Since you and I come from the same place, you know your value better than I do. What else can you do in Qinghewan besides getting married? When you get married, you will have to take care of your husband and children. No matter how big your business is now, it can only be a wedding dress for your brother and nephew."

Gu Taohua wanted to laugh.

Gu Ruinian still has the nerve to say this. Isn't everything everyone in the old house does to help him?

Moreover, he was so self-righteous that the Wei family even wanted to split up.

She didn't know where Gu Ruinian was from, but her mother said that if Gu Ruinian asked her if they were from the same place, she should confuse him with a half-hearted answer.

Now she was sure that Gu Ruinian had been bewitched by her.

Gu Taohua sighed and said, "What can a girl like me do if I leave Qinghewan and my home? Here, women cannot take the imperial examinations or become emperors. I can only think of ways to do business and live a good life, and I will be satisfied."

These words were naturally taught to Gu Taohua by Tong Huaqiong.

It can be heard from Gu Ruinian's arms that he has completely figured out Gu Taohua's background.

"Think carefully about what I said."

Gu Ruinian left with a satisfied smile.

As a time traveler, Gu Taohua's deterrent power is far weaker than Gu Jingzhe's.

No matter how powerful she is, she is just a girl.

Gu Taohua was right. Fortunately, women in that era could not take the imperial examinations or become emperors, otherwise Gu Taohua would have been a big trouble for him.

As for a girl, no matter how capable she is, she will eventually get married and live in the inner chamber.

However, Gu Taohua's abilities have now been revealed. Not only has she helped the eldest wife with her pastry and pig farming businesses, she has also earned a good name for her aunt.

As a modern person who has received higher education, Gu Taohua is certainly unwilling to accept that she cannot study and take the imperial examinations in this era.

Since she couldn't change the world, the only way was to fully support Gu Jingzhe.

She can use the money she earns from business to pave the way for Gu Jingzhe.

Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of Gu Taohua and cut off Gu Jingzhe's arm.

Gu Ruinian turned around and saw Gu Taohua, Gu Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao walking on the village road, especially Gu Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao, who looked like a perfect couple.

Gu Ruinian's eyes were hurt by the prick.

All this originally belonged to him.

Gu Ruinian thought of Miss Lian Er from Pingchuan County. Ever since he failed the imperial examination, matchmaker Wang had never come to visit again.

A few days ago, he couldn't help but go to find Matchmaker Wang to ask if she had conveyed his message to Miss Lian. Matchmaker Wang hesitated, and later he gave Matchmaker Wang a hundred coins. Matchmaker Wang then confessed that she had conveyed the message to Miss Lian. Miss Lian said that he was an ambitious man.

But now that he had failed the exam, she felt too embarrassed to continue proposing a marriage between the two to the Lian family.

But for the sake of a hundred dollars, I agreed to tell Miss Lian Er that it would be best if the two of them could meet.

I don’t know what Miss Lian Er looks like, or whether she’s as pretty as Lu Zhaozhao.

I hope I can be more beautiful than Lu Zhaozhao.
