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

Chapter 222 Visit Wang Tongzhi

Originally, Gu Chengyu was worried that he was an examinee, so it was not easy to have too much contact with Wang Tongzhi, and he had to guard against the magistrate's wife, so it was a little inconvenient to go.But he couldn't find anyone, so he had to go in person. Yu Tanzi was busy with the restaurant business, so he didn't have the resources to spare.

"My lord! If it's not convenient for you to come forward, why don't I go!" The shopkeeper Niu thought about the restaurant's affairs, and he always needs to take care of them. Why don't he take over now and build a good relationship with Wang Tongzhi.If Gu Chengyu is not around in the future, if there is anything to ask Wang Tongzhi to take care of him, he should also be familiar with it!

"I plan to go in person, but you have to follow. By the way, where is your wife? Ask her to come out, I have something to ask her!" Gu Chengyu met the wife of the shopkeeper Niu, she was a very neat woman , Talking and doing things are very upright, why not follow them to Tongzhi's mansion and pay a visit to Tongzhi's wife.

"Please don't please! Your son is serious!"

Shopkeeper Niu is very happy at this moment!The son is young and has not yet married a wife. He has no way to enter the inner house of a rich family. Although the wife can also show up, she is only a servant after all. Besides, there are few people around the son. If his wife gets the son's Blue-eyed, also get a job in charge, that is also a decent job!
If you do well, the young master will not treat them badly.Of course he was happy, who would think too much money is too much?

"His mother? Come out!" Shopkeeper Niu yelled towards the yard behind him.

"Hey! Here we come!"

At this time, a woman in a crimson muslin cross-neck shirt came in through the curtain from the backyard.The woman's face is like a full moon, her complexion is fair, and she smiles before she speaks, which makes people feel good at the first sight.

"His mother! Young Master and I are going to pay a visit to Mrs. Tongzhi's mansion. You follow us to pay a visit to Mrs. Tongzhi!" The shopkeeper Niu saw his wife coming out, his eyes were full of smiles.

"Ah? How is this possible? I haven't seen the official wife yet!" Mrs. Lin came out to salute, but she was very surprised when she heard this.

"Just go, Auntie. I've already prepared the gifts, and I've sent the greeting card. You just go and say a few words. We'll be back in a short time! The official wife is nothing to be afraid of. Take out your usual crispness That's right!"

Gu Chengyu had no choice but to choose the Lin family. Liang's mother is in Shanhe Town, and the distant water cannot save the nearby fire, so there is nothing around him to employ.He is not inclined to work for him with the husband and wife, at least not both of them will be entrusted with important tasks, because they are not the ones he bought, and eggs cannot be put in one basket.

"Well, since the young master said so, I'll try it!" Mrs. Lin is not a timid person, but she has never dealt with officials' wives before, so she is inevitably a little timid.

"Mother, go and change your clothes, pack up, we're leaving soon!" The shopkeeper Niu then called Er Mazi to look at the inn, where a deposit is paid first, so there is no need to worry about guests running away If you don't give money, and it's not the time to eat, it doesn't matter if you walk away.

Besides, since the last time the thief was caught, the magistrate has involved a lot in this matter, so there is no reward, and the business of the inn is much more deserted than before.

Gu Chengyu looked at Mrs. Lin who came out after changing clothes, and nodded, "Let's go!"

Gu Chengyu is the owner, so the gifts are all held by the shopkeeper Niu. When going to a big family, a proper ostentation is still required.

When Gu Chengyu and the others came back, it was already noon.

"I don't know, Mrs. Tongzhi, she is very friendly, she doesn't have the airs of an official's wife at all!" It was the first time Lin met Mrs. Guan, and the wife of the official seemed to have a good impression of her, and she was affectionate to her. up!They also kept their lunch.

Gu Chengyu smiled, was that being affectionate to you?It should be making out for Yinzi, right?He gave a lot of good things.He divided the gift into two, one was more common and was sent to the outer courtyard, and the other was a heavy gift to the inner courtyard.

Even if Wang Tongzhi found out afterwards and wanted to return the gifts, Tongzhi's wife would not be willing to give up those gifts, even a woman would be reluctant to part with those gifts.

As long as Mrs. Tongzhi blows some pillow wind on Wang Tongzhi, and when the restaurant opens, invite Wang Tongzhi to cheer on it, that will be done. I will take the opportunity to walk around more in the future and be filial every year, so there is no need to worry. .

It's not that no one gave gifts to Wang Tongzhi and his wife in the past, but they all gave money. How could Wang Tongzhi dare to accept it?Wang Tongzhi is not so much upright as he is timid, afraid of being caught.

The daughter of Wang Tongzhi's family is getting married this year and has already made an appointment. What he presents are women's jewelry, such as pearls, gold jewelry, and soap. There are many of these in space. The big ones are sent over, which is considered a rare treasure in Fucheng.He bought the gold jewelry from a shop, and he couldn't bear to touch the exquisite items in the space.Not to mention soap, they are all produced by themselves and cost nothing.

He didn't believe that the mother was willing to return these things, why didn't she accept them silently and prepare to add makeup to her daughter?Besides, he didn't ask for much, just simply taking care of him.

"Are you still showing off, Mr. Tongzhi? I don't even think about whose face Mrs. Tongzhi treats you in order to be kind to you?" Shopkeeper Niu also knew that Gu Chengyu's gift was probably not light. felt it.

He wanted to talk to his daughter-in-law when he went back. Today, the Master Tongzhi appreciated the young master very much, and he also said that the magistrate also appreciated the young master very much. If he still wholeheartedly serves the young master in the future, it will definitely benefit them.

Lin Shi was a little embarrassed when she heard the words, she was indeed a little carried away.

"Look at me, who is the young master? I'm an ignorant person. I'm so happy to see the official wife so suddenly! But, I don't know if today's matter is over?"

Wang Tongzhi went from the study into the inner courtyard and arrived at the place of his wife, Lianshi.

Lien and his daughter-in-law were looking at the various gifts on the table. She held a box of pearls in her hand and picked up a pearl inside to look at. This pearl is so beautiful!They are round and smooth, all about the same size, such a box, there are many more to make a set, and the jewel-encrusted bracelets and gold hairpins dazzle people who look at them.

"Huh? Mother! This is Gu's fragrant soap. It costs ten yuan here! They are all made with flowers and medicinal herbs, which is not cheap! Mother, is this from someone?" Good medicinal materials, good effect, but it costs five taels of silver!

"You girl, what do you ask for these? With these, I can add them to your dowry, and the dowry will not be shabby anymore. These pearls will be used for you to make donuts, and any leftovers will be made into other jewelry!"

Seeing that her daughter was happy, Mrs. Liao laughed too. After following the master for so many years, she didn't save much money. The prospective son-in-law's family is a family of scholars. It's not that she sees that her son-in-law's future will not be bad in the future, otherwise she would not marry her daughter-in-law to such a family.
