Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 117 Admission

After hearing Zhaogui's words, Mrs. Tao jumped up and scolded shopkeeper Tao severely: "My mother has already said that you should not listen to the shopkeeper Zeng. How are you doing now? Didn't curry favor with Zou?" The county magistrate even put himself in."

But if you scold him, you can scold him, after all, he is your own man. After Mrs. Tao finished scolding, she could only pack up her things and go back to her mother's house to ask for help.

After shopkeeper Tao was caught in Silifang, the two clerks in Silifang saw shopkeeper Tao, their hearts skipped a beat, but they didn't ask anything.

Things like troubles in the street are managed by Lao Kong and the others. As scribes, they are only responsible for collecting the town’s money, food and taxes, but they are from Zouxian Cheng. When they saw shopkeeper Tao being arrested, they sent their servants to Fuguilou Inform shopkeeper Zeng, let shopkeeper Zeng send someone to the county to inform Zou County Cheng, don't be bitten by Jiang Xianwei again.

Shopkeeper Zeng received the news from the clerk's servant, and said to the servant with a smile: "Go back and tell the two scribes, Lu Zhang, that it was something that Shopkeeper Tao himself committed, and it has nothing to do with us."

He just invited Shopkeeper Tao to Fugui Building for a meal, hinted a few words, and didn't say anything too blunt. Even if Shopkeeper Tao wanted to bite, he couldn't bite him and the county magistrate.

But shopkeeper Tao has been doing business for so many years, and shopkeeper Zeng believed that he would not be so stupid. After offending County Captain Jiang, he would desperately offend County Chancellor Zou again.

The servant relayed the words of the treasurer Zeng to the two scribes.

After hearing this, the two scribes, Lu and Zhang, were relieved.

Old Kong is a quick man, and he also wanted to show his face in front of Jiang Xianwei. After arresting all the beggars like shopkeeper Tao, Zhaofu, and Liu Sanzi, he asked the third grandpa and asked Haizi to give the confession of the third grandpa. Write it down, and ask the third grandpa to draw it later, and immediately escort shopkeeper Tao and the others to the county seat.

The third grandfather went back to the tofu stand and told everyone about the matter: "Old Kong said that there are all evidences and witnesses in this matter, and there is Jiang Xianwei here. At most, there will be a result tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so let us rest assured."

After hearing this, everyone was relieved, they believed in County Captain Jiang.

That day they sold out the tofu and bean dregs cakes, and after collecting the soybeans in the town, they left some of the soybeans in Xuanhufang, and each of them returned home with a load of soybeans.

Gu Jinli went to the iron shop to get the discus and hammer ready to make soybean oil.

On this day, the Luo family also collected two thousand catties of soybeans, which filled a side room and the main room.

The third grandfather told several families about the tofu stall, and everyone was very angry, but when they heard that shopkeeper Tao was arrested, they were very relieved.

"Shopkeeper Tao should be arrested, he really lost his conscience." The third grandma scolded.

"It's best to take him to work in the official mine too, and he'll be exhausted!" As Chen said, he told several families vividly about those beggars being beaten and Zhao Fu being arrested.

The family felt very relieved when they heard this, and they were waiting to see what would happen to Shopkeeper Tao and the others.

The next day, the county's verdict came down.

Shopkeeper Tao did not confess to Shopkeeper Zeng, he took everything on himself, saying that he was obsessed with ghosts, seeing that the business of Gu's tofu stall was good, so he raised the price of soybeans, hoping to make a fortune from them.

Unexpectedly, the Gu family disagreed, and began to collect soybeans by himself. He was so angry that he spent money to find a beggar, wanting to teach the Gu family a lesson.

After Tao shopkeeper pleaded guilty, the matter was not further investigated. The county magistrate sentenced shopkeeper Tao to ten boards and a fine of one hundred taels of silver; Zhao Fu was also hit with ten boards and fined ten taels of silver.

As for Liu Sanzi and his group, they were all sentenced to five years of hard work in an official mine.

When Liu Sanzi and the others heard this, they fainted at that time. The work in the official mine was the most tiring, and their bodies couldn't bear it at all, let alone five years, even one year.

But it's too late for them to regret it.

Because of this incident, the Yu family also hated shopkeeper Tao. Although shopkeeper Tao knew how to do business and made a lot of money for the Yu family over the past ten years, this time he almost dragged the Yu family into Zou Xiancheng and Jiang's family. County lieutenants are fighting each other.Old Master Yu was so angry that he personally ordered Tao shopkeeper and Mrs. Tao to get out of the Tao family grain shop, and the shop would no longer be operated by them.

It turns out that the Tao family grain store is not owned by the shopkeeper Tao at all, but by the Yu family. It is because the shopkeeper Tao married Mrs. Tao, and Mrs. Tao's father begged Mr. Yu, so Mr. Yu handed over the grain store in Qingfu Town. To take care of shopkeeper Tao, the two families will divide the accounts by four or six, shopkeeper Tao will get four, and Yu's family will get sixty percent.

Shopkeeper Tao was shocked when he heard the news, and passed out immediately.After waking up, he dragged his injured body and knelt with Mrs. Tao in front of Yu's mansion, begging Mr. Yu to take back his life.

But Mrs. Tao is not Mrs. Yu's own daughter, but a niece, so she is willing to protect them and let the servants drive Tao shopkeeper and Mrs. Tao away.

Mrs. Tao's father loved his daughter, so he gave Mrs. Tao the 100 taels of silver he had saved, and asked them to open a small shop in the county town and continue to live.

Therefore, when the Taojia Grain Shop reopened, the plaque had already been changed and it became the Xiangjia Grain Shop.

The Yu family didn't want to get involved in the fight between Zou County Cheng and Jiang County Captain, so they didn't run the grain store themselves, but gave the store to a relative named Xiang to run the store, and they still divided the accounts four or six times, but Mr. Yu told Xiang Shopkeeper, let him do business according to his duty, and don't get involved in anything that will bring trouble to them.

Shopkeeper Xiang knew about Shopkeeper Tao, so he was very cautious. After the opening of Xiangjialiang Store, he didn't visit Shopkeeper Zeng, nor did he come to Gu's to say that if they didn't raise the price for them, he would open the door for business as usual, regardless of soybeans. Whoever buys it is three pennies per catty.

The third grandfather was worried that the Xiangjia grain shop would target them, so he went to buy soybeans in person, greeted the shopkeeper with a smile, and sold them for three cents a catty.

So far, the matter has calmed down.

After Shang Xiucai heard about this, he came to Gu's house in person and told Gu Jin'an to go to his house to study.

After waiting for so many days, Gu Jinan was both happy and excited when he finally got Shang Xiucai's reply.

He suppressed his excitement, knelt down in front of Shang Xiucai, kowtowed to him, kowtowed halfway, but was helped up by Shang Xiucai.

Shang Xiucai said: "There is no need to perform the great ceremony of apprenticeship, I will not accept apprentices, I will only be a teacher, teach you to read, and your family will still give you these things."

After reading Gu Jinan's answer to Wen Zhi, Shang Xiucai was very satisfied with Gu Jin'an's performance on the day he was arrested, and also heard that he did not go to a private school, but learned the thousand-character prose by himself. After thinking about it for a few days, he was not accepted as an apprentice in the end.

Gu Jinan is a piece of raw jade. As long as he polishes it well, he will surely become a talent after ten years. The status of master and apprentice is similar to that of father and son. It's a marriage.

Shang Xiucai knew his identity. His family was famous in Tianfu County, but outside of Tianfu County, it was nothing at all. Gu Jinan deserved a better master. As a husband, he only needed to teach him for a few years.
