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

Chapter 110 Your Gu family has a lot of money!
"Father! The red deed is still insured, and the money is worth it! By the way, has the house site been approved?" Gu Chengyu actually felt that the tax of 16 taels of silver was quite heavy. It is not easy to buy two acres of land. More people prefer to choose white deeds, but it is not safe to choose white deeds for large transactions. This transaction is private, and the government will not file it.

"I asked your second brother to go to Lizheng's house with a box of jujube cakes and a piece of meat at noon, and finally settled the matter. After seeing these things, Lizheng didn't mention five taels of silver anymore. Hmph! He got a lot of benefits from being Li Zheng. At the beginning, your uncle lost because he was not willing to give gifts. Before becoming Li Zheng, others gave it to him. Your uncle Still, he wouldn’t be able to exploit the camp!” Remembering the election of Lizheng back then, Old Gu also sighed for the eldest brother, otherwise if the eldest brother became Lizheng, he would have some honor as a younger brother.

After lamenting about Uncle Gu's past, Father Gu suddenly remembered that today is the county exam. Uncle Gu and Gu Wanhua packed up their things and went to the county town yesterday, where they found an inn to stay.

"Tomorrow is the county exam, and I don't know if Hua Ge'er can pass the exam. If he can really pass the exam, our family will have a lot of talents, and then our Gu family will be proud."

"Father! Brother Hua is sure, Master will agree to let you take the exam. Let's wait for the good news!" Having said that, Gu Chengyu decided to go to the private school tomorrow to inquire about it. Forgot to ask about the county test.

"Father! The honeysuckle should be able to be picked, right? Let's go pick it today! We can earn money as soon as possible."

"I'll pick them after dinner today. I found the craftsman who built the house, but I'm afraid we won't be able to build so many tile-roofed houses in our house. Let's build the main house, two rooms in the east wing, and two rooms in the west wing first. , build another study room for you, let’s talk about it later!” Father Gu wanted to build these rooms first, and build them one by one when the baby grows up.

"Father! I already have a plan for building a house. Let's get up early tomorrow. I want to go to a restaurant in the town and sell some recipes." Gu Chengyu told Father Gu of his plan.

"What? The recipe? That fairy told you again?" Old Gu looked around and asked in a low voice when he saw no one.

"Father! I don't know if this will work or not! Don't tell your family, and see what happens tomorrow. I don't know if there are any restaurants willing to order the recipes. I don't know what dishes are available in the restaurants." Gu Chengyu He has no confidence in this recipe. He eats nothing but vegetables at Gu’s house every day. Even meat is rarely eaten. Even if he eats it once, it is cooked with Chinese cabbage. He doesn’t know the dishes in Dayanchao restaurant. How does it taste.

"Father knows, just don't tell the family."

The two of them said this all the way back home.

The ox cart drove all the way to the gate of Gu's courtyard. As soon as Gu Chengyu got out of the ox cart, he saw Mrs. Huang from the Zhang family next door. He opened the courtyard door and looked outside.Seeing Gu Chengyu looking at her, she was not embarrassed, but opened the door wide and came out of the yard.

"Yo! It's Xiaobao! But you came back from school in the town? Tsk tsk! You can tell you're a scholar at a glance! Look at this clothes? Your Gu family is really crazy! I heard that you are still in Xialing Village today." Did you buy a field? You also bought 55 acres!" Mrs. Huang rubbed her hands and walked towards Gu Chengyu, tsk-tsk.

"Third uncle of the Gu family, when I asked you a while ago, I said that I only got a few dozen taels of silver from selling ginseng. How can I sell 55 mu of land? It seems that ginseng is worth a lot of money, right?" Xiang Gu asked, but he was absolutely certain in his heart that the ginseng dug up by the Gu family must be more than a few dozen taels of silver, otherwise where did the money for buying the fields come from?

Old Gu frowned when he heard Mrs. Huang's words. When he was measuring the land with the government in the afternoon, two people from Xialing Village were watching the excitement. The people in Xialing Village knew that Master Qin's family was going to sell the land. Yes, this time when someone came to measure the land, they knew that the land must have been sold. They also wanted to see who was so generous and could afford so much land at once. The news must be from Xialing Village People spread it, but in the future, they will go to the village to farm, and the people in the village will always know about it, and they can't hide it.

The people in Xialing Village recognized it just by looking at it. Isn't this the old man of Wang Quanshou's family in Xialing Village?

This is like stabbing a hornet's nest. Wang Quanshou's mother-in-law's family knows all the big guys. Seeing that the Gu family has bought so much land now, I don't know where they got rich!Of course, there are also those who are well-informed. They have long heard that the Gu family dug ginseng on the mountain a few days ago and sold it for some money, but who knew they would sell it for so much money?

So the news actually spread in Xialing Village, and the news spread rapidly, and it has spread to several surrounding villages.This is something that Gu Chengyu will know when he returns home later, even the Lu family who stays at home already knows, and there are still outrageous things to come!
"Nephew and daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, where did you hear about this? In fact, they didn't sell much, they just bought the fields." Father Gu couldn't bear to talk to her, but they stopped him in the yard At the gate, bullock carts can't get in!

"Ouch! Third uncle of the Gu family, don't fool me, it's spread all over the surrounding villages! Your Gu family has a lot of money! If you don't listen to Li Zheng's family, your family bought the one over there. Yard, are you going to build a house?" Huang's mouth curled up, but she didn't say anything, now it's spreading everywhere, who else is she trying to deceive!Who can go to his house to grab money?

Old man Gu made her choke, so he simply stopped talking nonsense with her, and drove the ox cart directly, not caring that Mrs. Huang was still blocking the courtyard gate, and was about to go inside.As soon as Mrs. Huang saw that Mr. Gu was about to enter with the ox cart, she was afraid of being hit, so she had to give way to the side.

Gu Chengyu touched the book bag helplessly, this is good, there is a lot of trouble, then he must pay attention to the safety of his house, and don't let thieves come in.

When Gu Chengyu entered the main room, he happened to hear his mother talking with third brother, fourth brother, Gu Wan and the others in the main room.

"In the past few days, don't run out. Stories about our family's money are spread everywhere. If you go out and people ask you about your money, you will definitely tell me that you have slipped your mouth. Anyway, you will tell me I'll stay in the house honestly, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere!" Mrs. Lu was also worried that the children's mouths were not strict, and that they would show off after hearing a few questions from others.

"Mother! Anyway, the outside world knows about it. Even if we don't say it, they know it too! Why don't you let me out?" Gu Wan was a little unhappy. Today, she just met Lin Liu'er from Li Zheng's family. Lin Liuer, who is so human, even took the initiative to come forward and talk to her with a smile!However, she just ignored her.Didn't she see that her family had money, so she wanted to post it, she's not that stupid.
