Chapter 2384 Show Off Your Face

Shu Quan was the first to enter, followed closely by Shu Zhao and a man with a child in his arms.

Seeing the man's appearance, before Shu Yu had time to ask, she heard the surprised voice from Aunt Fang next to her, "You, are you Gu Xinghua??"

Gu Xinghua, who was holding the child, nodded. Aunt Fang took a breath and looked him up and down, "Where's your beard? You actually look like this? Aren't you almost thirty? Why are you still so, so..." Nen.

He looks as young as a boy under twenty.

Gu Xinghua smiled uncomfortably and said, "I shaved off my beard."

He explained, "My face has always been like this, just because I look young. When I was exiled to the southwest, I only had my mother and my young sister around me. If I didn't look mature, I might not be able to protect them." .”

Later, when they got married, he shaved off his beard. But his wife said he was too handsome and would attract bees and butterflies, so she let him continue.

Aunt Fang was stunned, but nodded after hearing this, that was indeed the case.

When Gu Xinghua came to Zhengdao Village, the girl was only in her teens, and the Gu family's mother was weak and sickly. If Gu Xinghua himself looked like someone who was easily bullied, life in Zhengdao Village would be difficult.

"If you had shaved off your beard earlier, you might have married a wife long ago."

Gu Xinghua looked at Shu Zhao beside him, "It's the same now."

Aunt Fang was right. Shu Zhao was not very old.

Shu Yu had already looked away. Gu Xinghua looked pretty good, so he passed this test.

"I heard that you learned calligraphy from the fourth girl?"

Facing Shu Yu, Gu Xinghua was still a little nervous. After Shu Quan urged him, he hurried forward and nodded quickly, "Yes, I have been studying in the past two years. A Zhao said that even if he was exiled, he could still read and write. beneficial."

Shu Yu cast his eyes on the fourth girl and was slightly surprised.

The fourth girl is completely different from the sharp and aloof look she saw a few years ago. At this moment, Shu Zhao's sharpness is gone, and the expression on his face can be called peaceful.

She glanced at it and then stopped reading it. She casually took a book and handed it to Gu Xinghua.

"Read a passage and listen."

Gu Xinghua carefully placed the child in his arms into Shu Zhao's hand, then stepped forward to take the book and opened it with great treasure.

His voice was a little rough when he spoke, probably to match his bearded appearance.

But when he was reading, there was a different voice. Shu Yu thought for a while and asked after he finished reading a paragraph, "If I recruit you, can I use this voice when facing guests in the future? You can't deliberately raise your voice. say."

Gu Xinghua nodded immediately, "Okay."

Shu Yu asked a few more questions. Because the other party was the son-in-law of the Shu family, everyone present clearly felt that he was more strict than others in recruiting Gu Xinghua.

Shu Quan was a little anxious, especially when Gu Xinghua's answers seemed inappropriate several times, and he had the urge to step forward and interrupt him.

After Shu Yu finished asking, he didn't say whether he was needed or not. He just said, "Okay, I understand your situation. I will think about it and give you an answer later."

Shu Quan's mouth twitched, didn't this answer mean a polite rejection?

But he knew enough was enough, and even though he wanted to intercede again, he finally led them towards the door.
