Chapter 92

Gu Yumei was really frightened this time, and hid in her room and cried.

Chen shi accompanied her in the room, scolded He Sanfei and several others, and then scolded Gu Yumei: "A few days ago, you joked about Xiu's self-defense moves, saying that the girl was holding a knife and gesturing. It's ugly! What's ugly and ugly? The moves you practice can save your life, so you can take me to Sister Xiu's house tomorrow and practice with her."

"Woooo~" Gu Yumei just cried.

Chen Shi was upset by her crying. After Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui came back, they ran to Luo's house and asked Aunt Tian's family to move quickly and move to the front of their house to block their house, lest the bastards in the village come to the end of the village. , the first one ran to walk outside the wall of her house.

Aunt Tian's family was driven by Chen's family, so they packed up and moved to the newly bought dirt yard that day, and lived on top of Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui's brothers' house.

That night, the third grandfather was worried that something would go wrong, so he called a few men from the family and talked about recruiting people to watch the night.

Gu Dafu agreed the most, and immediately said: "Tonight our family will start the night vigil first, Dagui will keep the first midnight, and I will keep the second midnight."

The men of the family had no objection, and lined up the people who would be vigilant next.

After they finished discussing the vigil, Gu Jinli took the opportunity to talk about He Dacai and a few bastards: "There must be someone behind them, someone is instructing them to trouble us, otherwise they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, We should check to see who is behind them?"

Old Qin nodded and said, "It's time to check them out. Such ordinary bastards wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in the village. The village wants a reputation, and a few bastards won't ruin the reputation of the village, but He Dacai and He Sanfeizi They are obviously not afraid of this, and Village Chief He can't control them, and behind them, there should be people with more power than Village Chief He."

"It's the Lu family." Gu Jinli said.

Apart from the village chief's family, the Lu family has the most power in this village.The Lu family had a daughter who was a concubine for the county magistrate, and the villagers were afraid of their family. If their family wanted to bribe a few bastards to do things for them, it would be too easy.

"But why did the Lu family trouble us? We didn't offend them at all?" Gu Dafu didn't understand.

Qin Laodao said: "I don't know, but the Lu family is very likely to trouble us. It may also be that the village chief wants to beat us again. We will find out after investigation."

Qin Lao looked at Qin Saburo and said to the family, "You don't need to worry about this matter. Let Saburo check it out. He is good at these things."

On the road to escape, Qin Saburo went to check the news every time he went. Several families already knew what he was capable of, so they handed it over to him.

Qin Sanlang stared at He Dacai and He Sanfeizi for more than ten days, but found nothing.

Neither the Lu family nor the He family went to He Dacai, nor did He Dacai and the others go to the Lu family or the He family.

During this time, in addition to being more wary of the villagers, several families continued to do the tofu business. In order to make more money, they set up a stall every day.

Although the weather is so cold that one's teeth are chattering, their business is very good. They already have a regular source of customers. Many people in the town come to their stall every day to buy a few pan-fried spiced tofu and golden bean cakes.

White tofu is also sold, and seasonings are also selling well.The people in the town, as well as the food stalls, would buy their seasonings and go back to cooking.Their stall can earn three to six taels of silver every day, and the business is very good.

Gu Jinli was still thinking about Gu Jin'an's study. Taking advantage of the time he went to the town to set up a stall, he ran to Xuanhufang with the third grandfather and asked Mr. Wu, where is a good private school in Qingfu Town?

Old Doctor Wu thought for a while and asked them, "Do you study for the purpose of recognizing characters or taking the exam?"

The third grandfather said: "It's for the test of fame. Our families are outsiders, and we don't rely on them. We have to provide a scholar. Only by passing the test, we will not be bullied."

Old Doctor Wu said: "If you want to test for fame, then go to Shangjia Village to find Shang Xiucai. Don't think that Shang Xiucai is just a scholar, but he is capable. He is very proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, strategy theory, and governance of the Spring and Autumn Period."

The third grandpa was very pleasantly surprised, but the old doctor Wu added: "However, Shang Xiucai has a strange temper. Over the years, he has only taught a few of the Shang family's sons and nephews, and the rest of the outsiders have never been taught. And his ancestors are landlords. , the family has a little wealth, and there is no shortage of money, and they will not accept students because of the repair."

"Then what should we do?" The third grandfather heard anxiously: "How can we make Shang Xiucai accept our brother An?"

The old doctor Wu gave him a post from Xuanhufang and said to him: "This old man has seen Shang Xiucai's family several times, and he is considered to be acquainted with him. Let's visit him in Jiacun and see how it turns out."

The old doctor Wu also reminded them: "Shang Xiucai hates those who disagree with each other the most. Why did you let your children go to school, you have to make it clear, and you can't hide it at all."

The third grandpa took the post and thanked Dr. Wu: "Thank you, Dr. Wu, you have helped us a lot."

Old Doctor Wu stroked the white beard on his chin and smiled: "Thank you, we ate a lot of tofu and bean cakes from you. It's just a small favor, it's not worth thanking."

The Gu family's pan-fried spiced tofu and golden bean cakes are very delicious. The people in their Xuanhufang will panic if they don't eat it for a day, and the Gu family is very good at being a person.

After Gu Jinli and the third grandpa got the post of Xuanhufang, they left and returned to the stall.

It is noon now, and the business of the stall is very good. Many people in the town come out to buy pan-fried spiced tofu and bean cakes.

"Come on, take your three pan-fried spiced tofu, six golden bean cakes, and two packets of seasonings." Father Luo handed the packaged items to the guest.

It is not a festival now, and there are not as many guests as the Lantern Festival, so they redistributed their staff and divided them into two batches, and everyone took turns to spread out.

Luo Fu Chu and his wife, Tian Shutian and his wife are a group; Gu Dagui Chen and his wife, Gu Damu Yan and his wife are a group.

As for the third grandpa who came every day and was responsible for collecting money, Gu Jinli came occasionally, and he no longer followed every day.

After they were busy with the round at noon, they could finally take a breath.

When the stall was about to close in the afternoon, two guests came, one with a shrewd face, wearing a new blue jacket, and the other with a rich face, wearing a pair of gray cloth sleeves on the sleeves of the clothes.

After the two sat down, a shrewd man said, "Here comes a pan-fried spiced tofu, two golden bean cakes, and a packet of seasonings."
