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

Chapter 228
Gu Chengyu walked along the path in the village to the house at the foot of the mountain.

He asked Carpenter Sun to tear down the yard and rebuild it two months ago.The courtyard was built high by Gu Chengyu with bricks and tiles, about [-] meters long, and there were many houses inside, which were for the people who made soap.

He came to the courtyard, pushed the courtyard door, and found that the door was locked.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Who is it?" Gu Chengyu knew it was Ming Yan's voice.

"It's me! Open the door!"

When Mingyan heard it, isn't this the son's voice?After calculating the time, the young master should have returned from Fucheng.With a surge of excitement in his heart, he immediately pushed open the latch.

"Master! Is it really you? Are you back?"

Gu Chengyu entered the yard, and found that facing the gate were the tools for making soap, and the soap in the yard was placed in rows on wooden boards to dry.

"It's time for supper now, and the dumb mother-in-law is here too! Master, have you eaten yet?" Ming Yan was very happy to see the son coming. He was very bored staying here all day. He should have had the opportunity to go to Fucheng to see him. Yes, but who knew it was intercepted.He has a bit of a temper, and he likes to run around with Gu Chengyu.

"Not yet! I'll go back to eat later! Is the workshop okay for a few days when I'm away?"

Gu Chengyu arranged the work and rest time for the servants in the workshop, four hours a day, one day off every six days, a monthly fee of [-] wen, and they could go out to the village for a break.

It's just that there are some things that can't be said indiscriminately. Gu Chengyu said at the beginning that if anyone goes out to talk nonsense, he will be beaten to death with a stick.Of course, he said this to deter people. His family is just a farmer, and he is afraid that these people will not accept discipline.

"There are always a few people in the village who like to hang out in the yard, but I chased them away!" When the workshop was first built, there were more people hanging out in the village, but as time went by, they couldn't see it. When I got to the inside, it gradually stopped coming.

"Hmph! Are those people again? Don't worry about them, the courtyard wall is so high, unless they can fly, they will definitely not be able to get in. I bought a few people in Fucheng, and I will transfer one of them to be a steward!"

"Really? Young Master, you don't even know that I've been here all day, and my body is almost covered with mushrooms!" Mingyan was really relieved, and finally he was able to leave here.

"Go and get the dumb mother-in-law out!" The dumb mother-in-law has always been cooking here, and among the people Gu Chengyu brought back this time, there are also a few women who will be transferred to cook.

Gu Chengyu always felt that it was a waste to leave the dumb mother-in-law here to cook. Since the dumb mother-in-law is literate, she should arrange separate errands.

"Hey!"

Gu Chengyu and the dumb mother-in-law were walking home, and the dumb mother-in-law followed behind Gu Chengyu, looking at Gu Chengyu's back from time to time.She was a little apprehensive, always feeling that the young master seemed to know something.

Gu Chengyu took the dumb mother-in-law back to the study directly, "Dumb mother-in-law! Your throat was poisoned and dumb, right?"

The dumb mother-in-law froze for a moment, then nodded.I was also a little flustered, the young master never asked about her matters, and I don't know why he suddenly asked today.

"I know you can read and write. You used to be the wife of a rich family or even an official family, right? I don't think you have bad manners. Why don't you just stay with my second sister and take care of my second sister. You know, my Gu family is just a It’s a small family, and the girls in the family can’t behave well.”

Don't look at the dumb mother-in-law who doesn't show her mountains and dews on weekdays, but Gu Chengyu thinks that the dumb mother-in-law's rules should be better than Liang's mother. With her following the second sister, she should be able to mention something. As for being unable to speak, he wants to try the rules in the space. Detoxification Pill, see if it works.It's just the detoxification pill, which can't be given to her yet, and he has to observe it for a while.

The family's niece, Gu Wanhua, planned to transfer Liang's mother to teach the rules, but now that the family is separated, I don't know if the elder brother and the others can agree.

The dumb mother-in-law was obviously taken aback when she heard Gu Chengyu say that, she looked up at Gu Chengyu.She already knew that the young man in front of her was not easy to fool, but she didn't expect that he would already know the secret of her literacy!
"For family affairs, another woman will come to replace you. You just need to take care of my second sister. Also, there is a son named Huang, you have to be careful not to let him get close to second sister."

After Gu Chengyu explained, he walked to the inner courtyard.

In the quiet mansion, suddenly there was a crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground.

"Oh! Ma'am! Be careful with your own hands!" Before Mama Xi entered the main room, she heard the sound from inside.

"Mom! Tell me, why am I sorry for him? He wants to treat me like this? I am the legitimate daughter of a dignified book family in the Ministry of Rites. If my father hadn't taken a fancy to him back then, I would have married him?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Yu looked resentful. She also had a sister-in-law above her. The sister-in-law married the eldest son of Cheng'an Bo's family and would inherit the title in the future.And her?Her father asked him to marry, saying that her natal family was powerful enough to support her, but what about now?How could her life be like this?
Mother Xi took Yu Shi's hand, although she slandered in her heart, wasn't that the wife you fell in love with back then?But the expression on her face was distressed. In fact, she really felt sorry for Shi, she watched Yu grow up, but when Yu was in her natal family, she was raised arrogantly and never listened to others' persuasion.

well!Mother Xi sighed, and then persuaded: "Ma'am! This man! You are always trying to coax, you are always tough, and he still doesn't confront you? When a woman should be soft, she should be soft, and she should be soft." When you let go of your figure, you have to let go of your figure, so that you don't suffer."

In fact, she had persuaded her before, but Yu couldn't listen.In fact, the intern mother feels that you have been holding on to the airs of being the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and you refuse to let go. A man will feel unhappy, and a man will lose face!

Yu wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief. In fact, after so many years, she also regretted that the master only came to her yard on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and never came at other times.If she is not the main wife, and her natal family still has a backer, I am afraid that the master will not come.

However, she suddenly thought of that vixen again, and her teeth itch with anger.

"What about the bitch? Just let her go like this? I just think about the suffering I have suffered all these years, and I can't get angry. But now, her son is about to take the exam to be an official. If he really wants to pass the exam, the little one Isn't the bitch also an official wife in the future? And the master even named him as the first name, is the master still thinking about the love from back then?"

When Yu Shi thought of this, the expression on his face became ferocious.

"Ouch! Ma'am! You can't talk nonsense about this. Fraud in the imperial examination is a serious crime requiring beheading! Their family is just a peasant household. Isn't it easy to punish them?"

"What good idea does that mother have? That family lives in the countryside and doesn't go out easily. Even if we want to plot, it won't work!" Yu Shi thought for a while, but she couldn't let out the bad breath in her heart. She couldn't sleep or eat. !
