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

Chapter 114 Tang Ji Bu Zhuang
"Okay! You all go to rest! Xiaobao, haven't you done your homework today? Hurry up and light the oil lamp and start doing it. Otherwise, tomorrow, what are you going to give to Mr. Wen?" Father Gu saw Gu Chengyi He didn't move the chopsticks for a long time, and didn't want to force it, so Gu Chengli asked Gu Chengyi to press it, and he didn't move.The Fang family and the He family have always been ignored.

Father Gu firmly believes in Gu Chengyu, and nothing will happen if he eats the fungus.But he couldn't tell the reason to others.

"Hmph! Boss and Second Brother's family, bring the oil lamps in your house. Xiaobao needs to read and write, and only one oil lamp is definitely not enough." Lu shouted to the boss and the second family.The old man thought about the second child and the others, but the old man wanted to taste it, but the second child didn't stop him. I'm afraid that the second child also hated the old man, right?
"Little Treasure! You said that you have seen this thing in a book. But you have only been in private school for two days, do you know so many words? Also, where did you find this book?" Gu Chengyi looked directly at it suspiciously. Gu Chengyu.

He is the only literate member of the Gu family, so of course Gu Chengyu can lie.

"I read it in a private school in the town, and there are pictures in the book! I haven't seen this before, so I asked the shopkeeper!" Gu Chengyu had already found an excuse, and he was not afraid of Gu Chengyi asking, anyway, the two Brother is illiterate, even if he asks, he can't find anything. Besides, there is no need for tomorrow.

"Since you said you saw it in the book, then you saw it in the book! Dad! It's getting late, let's go back to the house." Gu Chengyi stood up, glanced at the fungus on the table, saw that the plate was not big, Moreover, there is still some left on the plate, and I only ate this little, so it should be fine, right?
"I'll talk about building the house when I come back tomorrow! If we have to rebuild it, where will our family live?" Father Gu suddenly thought that if the Gu family's house was to be demolished and rebuilt, what would happen to the whole family? Son, where do you want to live?Building a house doesn't take a day or two, at least it takes a month, right?
"Old man, didn't you say that in the west of the village, there is a house next to Li Langzhong's family, which used to be the residence of old bachelor Liu? Isn't this house still vacant now?" Mrs. Lu was able to think of that house because of old bachelor Liu. Poor old bachelor Liu is an outsider. He thinks he has no money, so he didn't marry a wife.

He was getting older every day, but in the winter five years ago, he died at home for several days, and no one knew about it.There was a lot of snow that year, and several houses in every household were crushed. The house of Mr. Liu's house also had clay walls and a thatched roof, and half of the houses were crushed.The people next door saw that Mr. Liu's house had collapsed, and there was no movement from others, so they went in to have a look, and found that he had died long ago, and his body was stiff.

"Is that house uninhabitable? It's about to collapse! Besides, it's too bad luck for old bachelor Liu to die in the house!" Gu Chengyi immediately objected.

"Who's house has never died? Is it possible that everyone can't live? The house is also an adobe house. The adobe looks okay. The thatch on the roof is piled up by yourself. Anyway, it won't last long. I just lived there for more than a month, so I can’t bear it? Besides! The room is quite big, so let’s squeeze it together.” After thinking about it, Mr. Gu can only live there, go to other people’s house to bother him, for sure No, they are a big family.

"Second brother, you can pick up some things tomorrow, go to Lizheng's house, and tell him to lend us the house to live here, and when the house is built, we will move. If he refuses, then you will use it." How about some money? Let’s rent it.” After thinking about it, Mrs. Gu still thinks Mr. Liu’s house is the most suitable.

"Hey!" Gu Chengyi saw that Father Gu had made up his mind, so he stopped talking.

"Father! Then when will we move? We can build a house tomorrow?" Hearing that a new house was going to be built, his sleepy mind immediately became sober.

"What I told the craftsmen is the day after tomorrow, let them come over and look at the terrain first, and see how the bottom is covered." Old man Gu took a sip of nostalgia, and asked Mrs. Lu to stop him. He was about to sleep, and he smoked again. What should I do if the time is gone?

The next day, Gu Chengyi lay on the kang tossing and turning, unable to sleep, so he sat up and opened the window.Looking at the door of the main room from the window again, after waiting for a while, he saw Father Gu and Gu Chengyu coming out of the room.But in a blink of an eye, why did I go to study so early today?

Gu Chengyu and Father Gu left Shangling Village in a bullock cart, "Father! Do you know how many restaurants there are in this town? Which one is bigger?"

"When it comes to restaurants, the two largest restaurants in the town are Yingkelai and Juhelou. I met shopkeeper Zhou in the town, and this Yingkelai was opened by his owner. Shopkeeper Zhou must know the shopkeeper of the restaurant. Let's go to shopkeeper Zhou first." Father Gu had already planned to go to shopkeeper Zhou yesterday.

Gu Chengyu listened to Papa Gu's introduction to shopkeeper Zhou. It turns out that shopkeeper Zhou is the shopkeeper of Tangji cloth shop in the town. His boss has cloth shops and restaurants in the county and other towns.

Old man Gu met shopkeeper Zhou because old man Gu saved his life. When old man Gu was young, he also went to the town to carry out work. Once on the small pier, shopkeeper Zhou accidentally fell into the river. But shopkeeper Zhou happened to be ignorant of water, so Father Gu jumped into the river and rescued him.

In the end, Mr. Gu also declined the thank you gift from shopkeeper Zhou. It was because of this that the two met.In fact, even if Papa Gu didn't go down to save people, the people next to him would do the same, but Papa Gu acted faster!

Shopkeeper Zhou laments that Papa Gu is honest and honest. From now on, whenever Papa Gu goes to the town to find a job, his work will be counted as Papa Gu's, and he will pay more money.So much so that now that Papa Gu is getting older, the elder brother and the second elder brother also give priority to work.There are quite a few people on the pier who want to resist the contract, and many people can't find work, especially during the slack season.

Gu Chengyu and Gu Laodie arrived in the town more than an hour earlier than the previous two days, and Gu Laodi went straight to shopkeeper Zhou's cloth shop.The cloth shop usually opens very early, because the women in the village will come to the town very early.

Father Gu parked the ox cart under the big tree next to the cloth village, tied up the cattle, pulled Gu Chengyu into the cloth village.

There are two rooms in the cloth shop, and there are already two or three guys in the shop at this time, and a cashier is dozing off on the counter.Gu Chengyu looked around and saw that the cloth shop is mainly divided into two areas, one is dedicated to selling cotton and coarse cloth, and the other is for silk, silk, and yarn, but the quantity of these is smaller, and the colors are not too complicated. , while cotton and coarse cloth have more colors and double colors.

The wooden cabinets that hold the cloth are all leaning against the wall, and a guy is dusting the cloth on the wooden rack with a feather duster.

One of the guys saw Gu Chengyu and the others stepping into the shop, and immediately greeted them warmly. "Hey, guest officer, what kind of material do you want to buy?"

Although Old Gu was a man and wore coarse cloth, the guy didn't underestimate them and still greeted them warmly.

In fact, the buddy also felt very puzzled. Early in the morning, as soon as the door opened, two strange people came in.One is an old man in a coarse cloth bunt, and the other is a little boy in a cotton skirt, how strange!Looking left and right, these two people don't look like they are buying cloth.However, the shopkeeper said that people should not be judged by their appearance. When opening a door for business, you must not look down on people. Who knows if the person you looked down on just now might be a big customer?
