The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1044 Spending the Golden Autumn Together
Gu Chengyu had some impressions of Li's rice line. He heard from Mingmo that Li's reputation in Fucheng was very good, and he was a kind family.

Judging from the behavior of the other party giving porridge to the victims and selling rice from time to time in the past few days, this is indeed true.

As soon as Ming Mo turned around, he saw a carriage driving towards Li's Rice Shop.

"Look! It's the Young Master's family!"

A clerk in the rice shop had sharp eyes, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the young master outside getting out of the carriage.

The people surrounding the rice shop all turned their heads and looked over after hearing the words, "It's really Li's young master who is here, hurry up! Let's go and beg him"

Gu Chengyu stopped the carriage outside the rice shop, and saw a man in a bamboo green straight gown got out of the carriage, and heard the crowd calling him Young Master, he understood that this was Li Shi's Young Master.

With a long face and fair skin, he looks like a scholar.The eyebrows and eyes are also very kind, which makes people look amiable.

As soon as the man got off the carriage, the surrounding people spontaneously gave way.Gu Chengyu could see that the people breathed a sigh of relief, and then their faces were full of hope.

He couldn't help raising his eyebrows. It seems that although this young master is young, he has a good reputation in this area.

Gu Chengyu listened intently, and the man's thick voice came over, "Everyone! I believe you all know what kind of family our Li family is. My Li family has been passed down for a hundred years. Although it is not that prominent nobleman, it is now in decline, but we have been sticking to it. Follow the principle of no deceit. The rice sold by Mr. Li today is not easy to come by. I, Mr. Li, have done my best. For this reason, I have stopped the porridge shed outside the city gate. I hope you can understand."

Li Yuhuan apologized frequently to everyone, with sincere words and sincere expressions.Let everyone present be extremely disappointed, but I am too embarrassed to embarrass this young master again.

"As long as our Li family can get food again, we will definitely open the rice shop. I'm so sorry! I'm sorry everyone!" These people are from nearby families, and some of them have been Li's customers for generations.

He felt uncomfortable rejecting so many people, but it was all helpless.

"Young Master's family doesn't need to apologize, it's our power over others. You Li's and Zhang's are good people, alas!"

This sigh expressed the sadness and helplessness of everyone present.

"In fact, you might as well go out of the city to have a look. Farmers in the countryside near Fucheng may have food. But you must go with a company, and you must gather more people and bring iron tools at hand. So many victims of the disaster gathered outside the city. Their Life is more difficult than you. There are good and bad people in the disaster, and there are some local ruffians among them. You must be careful for your life and safety. This is all Li said, please come back!"

Gu Chengyu couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words, this young boss had already done his utmost benevolence.

Since there were so many disaster victims outside the city gate, the people inside the city would not dare to leave the city easily, for fear of being ransacked.It's not like this kind of incident happened before, and it's extremely dangerous to go out of the city alone.

After all, when a person is hungry, what can't be done?

Gu Chengyu sent the yamen servants to the countryside before and told each village to organize young and middle-aged people to patrol day and night in order to be afraid of any robbery.

If there is no precaution, who knows whether these disaster victims will lose their humanity and morality?
Gu Chengyu put down the curtain, "Let's go! Go outside the city!"

An exquisite three-entry courtyard is located in the north of the city, and the indigo robe sleeves brush the azaleas in full bloom by the roadside without any nostalgia.

With rapid steps, a steward hurriedly walked towards the outer study.

"Master!" The steward stopped walking outside the door of the outer study, and then called out in a deep voice.

"What's the matter?" After a while, there was a voice in the house.

"The imperial envoy sent a post, inviting you to spend the golden autumn together in two days!"

"Spend the golden autumn together? Bring in the post." The tone of the people in the room was much more urgent than before, and the shopkeeper knew that his master was paying attention.

As soon as the manager entered the room, he saw a man with gray sideburns sitting on an armchair, and he was about to put down the brush in his hand.

After the maid in the room helped the man clean his hands, the man sat back behind the desk.

The man took the post handed over by the steward, looked at it carefully, and saw that the signature below was a private seal, Gu Jinyu!
The man frowned, and the writing on it was very simple, only an invitation to spend the golden autumn together.

Isn't Gu Jinyu the imperial envoy who has just been promoted to three ranks in a row and came to the south of the Yangtze River to provide disaster relief?What does it mean that the other party came to you at this time?
Could it be that his family's recent purchase of grain was too big and caught the other party's eyes, and was he planning to warn Xia family?

Or did the imperial envoy have other plans?

A few days ago, the patriarch received a secret letter from Lord Shoufu, saying that he asked them to take care of the little disciple.

The patriarch said that although this person is a junior disciple of Shoufu, he is a person with a foreign surname after all. How can anyone from his own family be reliable?

It's a waste to find such a poor student as a student without thinking about your own family members with such benefits.

So these two days when Min Feng arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, the Xia family never took the initiative to contact him.

He also heard about what Min Feng did in Yingnan Mansion, and he felt that this son was too muddy to support the wall.The former son Xia Shoufu sent a message and asked them to remind Min Feng that Gu Jinyu had also come to the south of the Yangtze River, but the patriarch did not do so.

Since the patriarch doesn't think highly of this Min Shidu, why would he go out of his way to curry favor?

And the imperial envoy in front of him didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd. Could it be that they knew that the Xia family belonged to a wealthy family, and they were even members of Xia Shoufu's clan. Was this here to show favor?
Didn't I hear that this person liked to have sex with Mr. Shoufu before?Xia Hongji felt that Gu Chengyu might be planning to curry favor with the Xia family in order to ease the relationship with Mr. Shoufu.Otherwise, it cannot explain Gu Chengyu's behavior of posting to the Xia family as soon as he arrived in Jiangnan.

snort!Xia Hongji sneered, now he knows he's afraid, right?
Throwing the post on the desk, Xia Hongji picked up the brush again and began to color the beautiful lotus pond in front of him.

"Master?" The steward bowed his waist, not knowing what the master meant, did he not intend to go?
But after all, this is the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor, if he doesn't go, wouldn't it be embarrassing to the imperial envoy?It's nothing, with Xia Shoufu backing them, the Xia family is not afraid.

It's just that standing behind the imperial envoy is the emperor, it's not okay to despise the emperor!
"When that day comes, remember to remind the old man!" The imperial envoys came to invite them, and they didn't go, their Xia clan was not so rampant yet.

Besides, if he doesn't go, how can he give Gu Chengyu a chance to curry favor with their Xia family?

In fact, I have to say that Xia Hongji thought too much, because of this kind of similar post, many families in the whole Hangtianfu City have received it.

It also included Zhang's and Li's commercial firms in the west of the city, and everyone with a reputation in Fucheng received the post.

"Master! I didn't expect that the imperial envoy would send us Li's post, and I don't know what he wants to do?"
