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

Chapter 498 Acquaintances
"Yes! But it's not what you think."

When Gu Wan heard this, she became a little anxious, what Brother Xian heard from her classmates turned out to be true.She also knew that Xiaobao was not too young, and he couldn't resist the temptation to go to the brothel, and when he saw those beautiful girls, he couldn't help it.

But after all, she was a brothel girl, Xiaobao brought back such a girl before she got married, how would her future siblings deal with it?

Not married yet!Just to make trouble for the future sister-in-law, that's not going to work.What's more, Xiaobao is still young, if he is attracted by that woman and treats the main house coldly, wouldn't that cause disturbance in the house?
What's more, after a long period of time, he fell in love and wanted to marry that woman. After that day, he became an official, how could he hold his head up in front of his colleagues?
"Xiaobao! That girl, do you like it?" She thought that what Gu Chengyu said just now was to perfuse her, so she decided to persuade her.

Gu Chengyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Second Sister, why don't you believe what I said? If I say it's not what you think, then it's definitely not. Don't you know what kind of temperament I am? If it's true, I will definitely not hide it. Then The girl is also a hard-working person, and she is destined to be with me, don't worry! I will send her away in a few days."

Gu Chengyu made a promise to Gu Wan, Gu Wan couldn't hold on to it any longer.Besides, she was afraid that if she said too much, Xiaobao really took care of her.

However, she made up her mind that she must come to Gu Chengyu's residence often to watch in the future.If there is any sign of something wrong, she immediately snuffs it out.

Gu Chengyu was sitting in a carriage, ready to go to the pier in the western suburbs of the capital.The carriage moved forward slowly, and it was almost at the pier.

Gu Chengyu lifted the curtain and looked at the pier. There was a lot of people in front of him, and the flow of people was surging. The man who resisted the package kept going back and forth to the pier, and he was still shouting, "Excuse me! Excuse me!"

There were many people in silk and satin in the crowd, when they saw the anti-bag men approaching, they quickly covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs, and jumped aside, afraid of being bumped into by them.The shopkeeper on the side was busy pointing fingers at those men, for fear that the goods would accidentally fall into the water.

In addition, there were people driving a carriage like Gu Chengyu and the others, waiting for someone on the pier.Gu Chengyu sent someone to guard the pier yesterday, and just received the news that the boat that the teacher was on was about to arrive, so he rushed over in a hurry.

The brothers are all working in the official office at the moment, and he is relatively the most free.

It is already spring at this time, and the spring breeze is not cold at all, but has some warmth.Ming Mo sat on the shaft of the carriage, looking forward to the river.While Gu Chengyu was sitting in the car, feeling a little drowsy.

There is no way, the spring is sleepy and the autumn is exhausted, and there is nothing to do at the moment. I wake up very early in the morning to practice calligraphy, and even read a book for an hour. I am really sleepy at the moment.

"Huh? Young Master, look, is that a ship?"

Ming Mo's surprised voice rang in Gu Chengyu's ears, and Gu Chengyu's drowsiness was awakened instantly.I got off the carriage and looked at the moving object on the river. It was indeed a boat, but it wasn't too close to the pier.

It is very likely that it is the teacher's boat, Gu Chengyu straightened his appearance and stood by the carriage waiting.The speed of the ship is not slow, not to mention it is still smooth, and it will return to the pier in less than a stick of incense.

"Huh? Are you the owner of the third son?"

Gu Chengyu stared at the river for a while, and before the boats approached, he was a little bored, so he became interested in the busy crowd on the pier.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side, and Gu Chengyu looked to the right.

This is an old man, who looks like an ordinary family in his clothes.A bunt with crab shell green, although it is coarse cloth, but there are no patches.However, Gu Chengyu felt that he looked familiar.

If you take a closer look, isn't it the same coachman that Gu Chengyu and the others came to the capital together three years ago and almost got scammed at the pier?In the end, I got a capable subordinate.

The third son is now in charge of Yipinzhai for Gu Chengyu. He is very capable and able to endure hardships and stand hard work.

He also planned to find some other livelihoods, so that the third son could practice with Yu Tanzi again.

The old man looked at Gu Chengyu, thinking that the nobleman didn't remember him, and he didn't expect others to remember him.Now the third son is living a good life, but he often helps him and the old woman, and often tells him that his boss is a good person.

"So it's the old man? We haven't seen each other for three years, but the old man is still in good health?" Gu Chengyu thought of the old man, and then took a closer look at him.

Looking at it now, I feel that the old man is much older than he looked three years ago, and several wrinkles have been added to his forehead.

And the silver hair on his head was mixed with strands of black silk, making his face look even older.

It's only been three years, and the whole person looks much more decadent.

Gu Chengyu was a little puzzled, even if people are old and life is hard, people will age quickly, but this is too fast, right?
Gu Chengyu felt that the family might have undergone tremendous changes.However, that was someone else's business, and he didn't want to ask too much.

The old man smiled wryly, "The little old man's family has undergone great changes, and now he is only living with his old woman, and he just gets by every day."

After finishing speaking, his stooped body bent even more.

Gu Chengyu didn't know what happened to his family, so he could only pick a few words to comfort him.

"Old man, one must always look forward in life. You should look ahead, life must go on."

As soon as Gu Chengyu finished speaking, the old man suddenly wiped away his tears, "I can't see it! How can I see it? My son's family of five has died, and I might as well go if I live."

He is also reluctant to part with his old woman, otherwise he would not want to live a long time ago, and the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man, and the whole family died.

Now the old lady is seriously ill, and he probably won't live long, so he will follow her when the old lady is gone.

If it weren't for the fact that the family didn't have money to buy medicine for the old woman, he didn't want to come to drive a car to earn money.

Maybe it was because of the extreme sadness that the old man lost the mind to greet Gu Chengyu.He walked back dejectedly, and sat down on a big rock.

Gu Chengyu saw that he had nothing to love in life, and this matter really couldn't be persuaded. How could others understand the pain of losing a child?What's more, if they die, there will be five. I'm afraid that even the daughter-in-law and grandson will die, and I don't know what happened to them.

The movement of Gu Chengyu and the others attracted the attention of other coachmen.These people are waiting for the ship to dock to solicit business.

However, I was free at the moment, and I started to say something.

"Hey! This old stubborn man is also pitiful. He managed to bring up his son and marry him, and even have grandchildren. I didn't expect such a catastrophe, and the five of them disappeared."

"Who says it's not? Natural disasters and man-made disasters, who can predict it? It's a pity that his little grandson and two granddaughters didn't survive. This is going to be the end of history!"
