Chapter 109

He Dacang asked He Village Chief: "Father, what should we do next? Shall we go to show our favor to the Gu family? Shang Xiucai didn't come alone today, he brought his daughter-in-law with him. His daughter-in-law is the daughter of County Captain Jiang. , to be able to go to the Gu family's door and stay for dinner, it seems that Captain Jiang is really going to protect the Gu family."

Although it is a life-saving grace, who is the Gu family?They are just victims of famine.But Shang Xiucai's daughter-in-law is the daughter of County Captain Jiang, a real official lady, there is no need to come to the door to thank her in person, just give some money, and this life-saving grace will be bought.

But Shang Xiucai brought his daughter-in-law and daughter to the door of the Gu family, pretending to make friends with the Gu family.

"The Gu family has had a lot of luck." He Dacang sighed, who would dare to underestimate them when they walk around with the Shang family and the Jiang family in the future.

Village head He didn't immediately make up his mind to make friends with the Gu family, but said, "Let's look again. It may be that the scholar wants to save face, so he came to visit in person, and what will happen in the future is uncertain."

If after this time, Shang Xiucai's family no longer interacts with the Gu family, but their family rushes to make friends with the Gu family, the Lu family will definitely be angry. When the Lu family gets up again, their He family will not be able to eat.

He Dacang squatted on the ground warming the fire. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Still waiting? Dad, if you wait any longer, it will be too late."

When the Gu family really gained a firm foothold, and they leaned forward again, would the Gu family still have a crush on them?

"Besides, the Gu family's tofu business is very good. People in the town are crazy about buying it, and they can make a lot of money in a day. The Gu family now has a backing and a livelihood, and it is about to rise. If our family doesn't rely on it, won't it Wasting the opportunity to make friends in vain?" Although his family is the village chief's family, his family has no livelihood, except that his father is the village chief, and his second brother works as an accountant in cloth village in the county. Backing, to make a living but not to make a living.

He Dacang is not smart, so he didn't think as much as Village Chief He, and thought that Gu's family was doing well, so he wanted to lean in and help his family, but Village Chief He was used to being cautious, and still shook his head: "Don't rush, wait and see. "

"Then the Lu family has suffered such a big loss at the hands of the Gu family, and they will not let it go. They must take revenge. If our family relies on it now, but the Shang family and the Jiang family will not associate with the Gu family, wait for the Lu family to recover. , when we start to retaliate, our family will be implicated."

Village head He was cooking by the fire, looking at the bleak yard, and said the sentence again: "Don't rush, wait a little longer."

He Dacang had no choice but to suppress his desire to make friends with Gu's family and continue to wait.

In addition to Village Chief He's family, many villagers in Dafeng Village were also paying attention to the Gu family. They wanted to make friends with them, but they were afraid of revenge from the Lu family. After hesitating, they chose to wait and see, just like Village Chief He.

Shangjia Village is the nearest village to Qingfu Town. It takes only a quarter of an hour to walk to the town, but it is a bit far from Dafeng Village. Even in a mule cart, it took Shang Xiucai and the others half an hour to get home.

After arriving home, the family changed out of the heavy clothes they wore to meet guests, and after drinking a cup of warm tea, they felt comfortable.

Yuan Yuan played at Gu's house for a long time, and fell asleep after returning home.

Mrs. Jiang carried her to the bed in the inner room, pressed a thick quilt for her, and heated up the charcoal fire in the room before going to the outer room.

Shang Xiucai took out the words and articles written by the three of Gu Jinan, and couldn't help laughing when he saw a piece of paper full of crooked words.

Jiang came over and saw the word, covered her mouth and laughed: "Who wrote this?"

Shang Xiucai pointed to a name on the upper right corner of the paper and said: "Gu Dewang." Ah Jiu told him this in advance, otherwise, just looking at the factory page in the upper right corner, he really wouldn't recognize these three The name is Gu Dewang.

Shang Xiucai put down Gu Dewang's writing, and read Gu Dexing's again. Gu Dexing wrote the Analects of Confucius in the Four Books.

It can be seen that this Gu Dexing has the heart to be an official, but he is not very proficient in the political affairs, he only finished the learning and affairs, but failed to finish the political affairs.

He had said a long time ago that they were asked to write down the words or articles they thought they had learned best, but Gu Dexing clearly did not learn the Weizheng articles well, but for the sake of performance, he still forcibly wrote down the Weizheng articles.

Shang Xiucai thought about the expression on Gu Dexing's face today, shook his head, and read the next article.

Originally, I didn't have any expectations, but my eyes lit up. This is a thousand-character essay, a whole thousand characters, all written, and the pen is sharp, the silver hook is like a dragon, and the brush is like a mountain. It has an imposing manner .

"Okay, it's well written." Shang Xiucai was very satisfied with this writing, and looked at people with words: "This Gu Jin'an is ambitious."

When Jiang heard this, she looked at the writing in his hand, and seeing the majestic writing on the paper, like a silver snake dancing wildly, she couldn't stop nodding: "This writing is not bad. But..."

She paused, and said: "He is also a person who wants to be an official, and there is a sense of urgency in the words."

Xu Shi knew about Xianggong's reputation and wanted to be a teacher, so they all competed to show off.

When Shang Xiucai heard this, she frowned slightly, stood up, walked around the room a few times, and finally came to the desk, picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote two words on the paper: Wenzhi.

It was very clear, he just wanted to know what ambition Gu Jinan had in this life?

Although he didn't take the Juren examination and was not interested in becoming an official, he didn't think there was anything wrong with wanting to be an official.

However, he doesn't like officials like Zou Xiancheng. If Gu Jinan wants to be such an official, he won't teach him.

Jiang looked at the word "Wenzhi" on the paper, and asked Shang Xiucai, "Your Excellency, do you want to accept disciples?"

Shang Xiucai has a very good relationship with Jiang Shi, and she will never hide anything from her. Hearing this, he nodded: "I really have this idea. One is that I think Gu Jin'an is good, and the other is that it can maintain the relationship between our two families."

He looked at Jiang Shi and said, "The Zou family and the Lu family are not vegetarians. When they recover, they will definitely find a way to deal with the Gu family. Only if we keep walking with the Gu family can those two families be afraid and dare not attack the Gu family."

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang did not object to Shang Xiucai's actions, but nodded and said, "It should be like this."

Not to mention that the Gu family is their family's savior, but just to say that her Jiang family has a grudge against the Zou family, then they will help the Gu family.

Seeing that she did not object to his association with the Gu family, Shang Xiucai was slightly relieved, and was afraid of wronging Jiang Shi, so she asked her: "How do you feel about getting along with the female family members of the Gu family today? If you don't like them in your heart, you don't have to go in the future. I'm here to meet the Gu family."

Mrs. Jiang shot him a look, and said: "Look at what you said, as you said, although the Gu family is a disaster victim who escaped from the famine, but they are a family with a sense of proportion and integrity. From the way we get along today, the behavior of the Gu family is okay. come and go."

She thought for a while, and then said: "Especially Cui Shi, she has an indescribable charm in her gestures, she looks like a real peasant woman, but she doesn't feel like it."

In short, Cui Shi gave her a very strange feeling.
