Chapter 341

Although the Wanjia private school is the only private school in the town, there are few scholars in the town, and the master can't earn a few books a year. The family lives on the [-] mu of land in the countryside, and the master likes to buy some expensive pens, ink and paper Yan, after the young master grows up, he loves to go to the county to play again. The family's harvest is simply beyond the means, so he can only save on food and gifts.

Wan Lifang also knew that his family was superficial, but Master Tian was with the Jiang family, he couldn't afford to lose face, turned around and went into his father's study, took an Analects of Confucius and a Three Character Classic from the bookshelf, and put them in basket.

When Wan Xiucai saw that he was going to deliver books to the Gu family, he was in a hurry and wanted to come over to grab them. Wan Lifang hurriedly said: "Father, Mr. Tian is a scholar, and the county magistrate is a scholar in the second list. Our family is a farming and studying family. Giving a congratulatory gift and bringing two books is more face-saving than anything else."

Wan Xiucai thought about it, and felt that what Wan Lifang said was reasonable, so he nodded and agreed, "That's OK, let's go now."

It's late, Master Tian is leaving.

"Hey, my son will support you." Wan Lifang is a man who knows how to deal with affairs. In front of outsiders, he has always been a humble and filial gentleman.

The father and son walked in front, and the millet followed behind with the gift, and it took more than a quarter of an hour to reach the Gu's shop.

Wan Xiucai looked at the plaque above the shop door at first glance, and after seeing that the seal of the county magistrate was really engraved on it, he nodded with a smile: "Yes, it is indeed a gift from the magistrate."

Millet saw that there were too many people at the door of the shop, so he pushed forward by himself, and said to Wang Yongfu who was guarding the door: "This elder brother, the younger one belongs to ten thousand private schools in the town. When our master scholar heard that your shop was open, he came here specially. Bring the young master to congratulate."

The world respects scholars, and Wang Yongfu heard that he was a scholar, so he didn't dare to neglect, and shouted into the shop: "Master, Wan Xiucai from the town is here."

Gu Dashan was having dinner with Master Tian and the others, and he didn't have time to come out to welcome Wan Xiucai and his son. Gu Dafu came out, saw Wan Xiucai, and immediately cupped his hands at him and said, "So it's Wan Xiucai, please come in."

Seeing that Gu Dafu treated him respectfully, Wan Xiucai felt a lot more at ease: "Boss Gu, the new store has opened, congratulations."

Wan Xiucai glanced at Mizi behind him, and Mizi hurriedly offered the congratulatory gift: "Boss Gu, this is a congratulatory gift for your shop, be careful, please accept it."

He took out those two books specially, and said: "My young master learned that someone in your family is studying, so he personally picked two books for your family."

When Gu Dafu saw that Wan's family had sent two books, he was both surprised and happy, took them in a hurry, and said to Wan Lifang: "Master Wan has a heart."

Wan Lifang is someone who can talk, and after bowing to Gu Dafu, he said with a smile: "Uncle Gu is polite, if the brothers from the Gu family are free in the future, you can let him come to our Wanjia private school, and we will discuss knowledge together."

After hearing this, Gu Dafu thanked him again. Originally, he wanted to lure them to sit in the lobby, but he accepted other people's books, thinking that the other party was a scholar, so he took the courage to bring them into the wing room, and treated the third grandpa They said: "Sanbo, Shang Xiucai, Master Tian, ​​this is Wan Xiucai from the private school in the town, this is Wan Xiucai's son."

Wan Xiucai and Wan Lifang were very excited to see Master Tian and the Jiang brothers. Seeing Master Tian and the others looking over, the father and son hurriedly bowed.

Wan Xiucai still had a bit of aloofness, and said reservedly: "Master Tian, ​​Master Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The Master Jiang he was talking about was Jiang Qi, not Jiang Jiao.

"It turns out to be Wan Xiucai, please sit down." Master Tian saw him, his face was as usual, but he was not happy in his heart. After saying this, he got up directly and said to the third grandfather: "Master Gu, Tian is bothering you." For a long time, the county still has official business to do, so I will leave first."

Wan Xiucai's knowledge is not bad, but he is so pedantic and high-minded that it is a bit inexplicable. Master Tian doesn't want to spend too much time with this kind of person, or he will be so angry that his liver hurts.

The third grandfather got up and said: "Since we have official business to do, then we won't keep Mr. Tian."

A table of people got up and went to send Master Tian and the others off.

Wan Xiucai's father and son's expressions were very bad. It was only noon and Master Tian was about to leave. This clearly meant looking down on their father and son.

Wan Xiucai wanted to turn around and leave on the spot, but he didn't have the guts to slap Master Tian and the Jiang brothers face to face, so he could only smile stiffly, and followed Gu Dafu to see Master Tian and the others off.

The servants brought by Mr. Tian had already eaten and drank enough. Seeing that Mr. Tian was about to leave, they hurried over with the carriage.

Third Grandma and Old Yan have packed up four return gifts, carried them with Gu Dalin, and handed two of them to the servants brought by Master Tian.

"Master Tian, ​​these are all foods made by our shop. You can take them home and eat them, and there is another one for the county magistrate... You can help deliver it to the county magistrate. Many, thank you for his plaque." The third grandma said I trembled a little when I said this, the county magistrate is the biggest official in Tianfu County.

Master Tian looked at the third grandma's nervous expression, and said with some amusement: "Don't worry, Tian will definitely help pass it on."

The remaining two return gifts, one is for the Jiang family and the other is for Hu Dong's family.

The Qin family brothers and Luo Wu knew that Jiang Qi and the others were leaving, so they stopped what they were doing and came out to see off the guests.

Jiang Qi saw them and said, "If the three of you don't make it back to the county tonight, you can go back tomorrow. As long as you arrive before Chenshi, Team Leader Yang and I won't punish you."

Luo Wu was very happy to hear that. He wanted to spend more time with Gu Jinxiu, so he cupped his fists and thanked him immediately: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

Qin Erlang was unhappy in his heart, but in front of Jiang Qi, he would not show any dissatisfaction, and he clasped his fists to thank him.

Before he left, Boss Hu made a special reminder: "Master Gu, at midnight tomorrow, our Futai Building will send people to pick up the goods. They have a sign on them, and they are a pair of the sign I gave you."

While eating in the wing room, Mr. Hu's family gave the Gu family a pair of cards from Futai Building, and they recognized people by the card.

"Hey, we got it, Mr. Hu's family don't worry." The third grandfather said, took Gu Dashan and the others, and sent Master Tian and others through the gate, and they didn't return to the shop until the carriage was far away.

It was still early for Shang Xiucai to meet with Chief Shang, so he didn't leave, but went back to Gu's restaurant to support them.

When Wan Xiucai saw her, she wanted to leave, so she followed her back.

The third grandpa respected the scholars, and asked the third grandma to serve another table of new dishes to entertain the father and son of the Wan family.

Chief Shang and Shang Xiucai had already had dinner, so they didn't go to eat with Wan's father and son. Only Gu Dafu and his son, third grandfather and Gu Dashan were with him, and Gu Jin'an went to accompany Shang Xiucai, Chief Shang, and the Shang family. two grandsons talking.

Wan Xiucai and his son felt a little suffocated after eating this meal, but fortunately, not long after, there was a burst of hearty laughter at the door of the shop: "Hey, the business of the shop is good."

Gu Jinan followed the prestige and saw Yuan Laorong, father and son, and behind them stood two women, one old and one young, who presumably were Yuan Laorong's wife and eldest daughter-in-law.
