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

Chapter 697
Lu Shi suddenly leaned back on the pillow, and she looked at Father Gu with cold eyes.

At the beginning, she hated it. She clearly plotted against the shopkeeper, and becoming the shopkeeper's wife was her best choice at that time.But everything was disrupted when Gu Changqing, a widower with three children, broke into her life.

Lu closed her eyes, the previous she was resentful and unwilling.But after a long time, she got used to it, got used to Gu Changqing, got used to the hard life.

Xiaobao worked so hard just to earn her a life, so how could she not be happy?Even if she still wants to chase after her original partner, that's Xiaobao's whole heart for her.

Papa Gu suddenly didn't know what to say, he naturally knew the character of the second child.The boss is honest, even if he lives with the boss, as long as the boss has a bite to eat, the couple will not be hungry.

The third child and the others are also filial, and they buy a lot of things with the money they give throughout the year.I have never reached out and asked my mother for a penny, even if I offered to give it, I would still refuse it.

Of course, except for the fact that the third daughter-in-law loves to take advantage of things, the fourth daughter-in-law has a much better temper.

As for the second child, if the family is still as poor as before, maybe he will starve to death in the end.

"I want to live with Xiaobao in the future." This is the first time that Mrs. Lu talked about her future plans with Father Gu. Before, Mrs. Lu always thought that she was young, and she would go to Xiaobao's place to spend the rest of her life when she was older.

But when she saw the white hair on Gu's temples, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.She was nine years younger than the old man, and the old man was no longer young.Although the bones of the body are still strong, it is uncertain how many years the old man can live.

In the past few years, Xiaobao must have gained a firm foothold in the capital, so she and the old man are not afraid to go to the capital.

In the past few years, we have been gathering less and leaving more, so Lu's longing for his son has overflowed.She is getting old, and she just wants to wait for Xiaobao to get married, give her a big fat grandson, and play with her grandson every day, that's the life she wants to live.

Father Gu was a little surprised. He thought that Mrs. Lu wanted to stay in Shangling Village with him, but she didn't expect Mrs. Lu to go to the capital to retire with Xiaobao.

"Then what about the third one? Let's go to the capital, what about the houses and fields here?"

Old Gu's hometown is hard to leave, he doesn't want to leave Shangling Village where he has lived for decades.When I went to the capital, I didn't know the place well, and I didn't even have a place to shop, let alone go to the fields every day.

"Let's talk about it!" Lu Shi didn't want to talk more right now, after all, it didn't happen overnight to convince the old man.

In fact, she already had plans, anyway, the third and fourth children both opened shops in the town.As long as you have the skills, you will not die of hunger even if you follow them to the capital, and you can just open a shop.

Besides, the little girl is also in the capital, she hasn't seen her for more than three years, and she misses her very much.

As long as the whole family moved to the capital, they would not be afraid of the separation of their relatives.As for the children left behind, she couldn't take care of them, and she didn't want to take care of them.

Boss is honest, if you want to go, just follow.If you don't want to, then leave all the fields at home to the elders to take care of.

Gu Chengyu took his luggage and people to the courtyard of Fucheng in a carriage, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw all the servants of the mansion waiting at the gate.

There are not many servants left in Fucheng, only a dozen or so.They all stayed to look at the yard.If there is no popularity in the house, it will inevitably decline.

The flowers and trees in the yard also need to be taken care of.Although he doesn't come to live often, but he comes back sometimes, it's more convenient to have a house here.

Just like today, with so many people and so much luggage, it would be very busy to stay in a hotel.Also have to watch the luggage in case of thieves.

The second aunt, Mrs. Liu, quietly looked at the big courtyard in front of her. She didn't expect that the third family was really rich, otherwise why could they afford such a big courtyard?
Let's hear from the old man that there are still big houses in the capital!If they had known that the Gu family in Jingyuan Mansion was doing well, they would have come back long ago, so why would they stick around in Yingnan Mansion?

When Liu thought of these things, she thought of Er'er who lived a hard life in Yingnan Mansion.It seems that I have to find a time to talk to the old man, let the second son go back to his hometown!Life here is much better than in Yingnan Mansion.

If you can go to the capital, life will definitely be better.Some time ago, the old man said that the money they stayed in the inn was given by the children of the third family, as well as Qian'er's medical expenses.

Thinking of Qian'er, Liu could not help but sigh.The little granddaughter Qian'er is weak, and she suffered a serious illness when she went to the capital. Now she is still in good health, and stays in the capital with her eldest grandson.

Although he was worried about his two grandchildren, the old man insisted on returning home.He also said that he will return to the capital after staying in Jingyuan Mansion for a short time.

Liu's heart was full of emotions, and the two sisters-in-law hadn't seen each other for many years.Now the life of Gu's family is better, but he himself is living in such a miserable state.When they return to Shangling Village, they will definitely be overwhelmed by them.

Gu Chengyu didn't know what was going on in Mrs. Liu's heart. He was actually a little tired after being swayed on the boat for several days.

However, today, taking advantage of the opportunity in Fucheng, I have to inspect restaurants and shops.If you can't go back to Shangling Village, you have to go back to Fucheng.

Gu Chengyu lost the patience to even deal with Gu Changbai, and threw him into an empty yard.The big kitchen gave dinner and told Mingmo and the others to take care of it, so I planned to leave it alone, anyway, I will go back tomorrow.

After taking a bath, Gu Chengyu walked towards the restaurant.Of course, Zhu Pang must be behind him.

"Jinyu! You also opened Juxianglou in Jingyuan Fucheng? Then we must go to Changweier to see if it is the same as the one in Beijing."

Zhu Pang was full of curiosity and anticipation about everything in Fucheng, Gu Chengyu was a little puzzled, the streets are all the same, so is there any difference?
Besides, the street market in the capital is more prosperous than here, and there are many more hawkers setting up stalls than here.

Ignoring Zhu Pang's high spirits, Gu Chengyu and the others quickly arrived outside the restaurant.

It was time for dinner, and the restaurant was buzzing with people, looking from the outside, there should be no empty seats.

Gu Chengyu led Zhu Pang without hesitation, and the two entered through the main entrance of the restaurant.The shopkeeper of the restaurant in Jingyuan Mansion was bought by Gu Chengyu, named Xing Yang.

"Shopkeeper Xing!" Seeing that Shopkeeper Xing was busy settling accounts with his head down, Gu Chengyu yelled softly and tapped the table with his hand.

Gu Chengyu looked at the ledger and frowned.Whether it's a restaurant, a pastry shop, or a rouge shop, Gu Chengyu will set up a shopkeeper and two accountants, in order to avoid making false accounts and being pocketed.

But when he came to the restaurant now, he found that the accountant of the restaurant was not there.It's the shopkeeper Xing who keeps the accounts, which is a bit strange.

Because he has repeatedly ordered that the shopkeeper is not allowed to touch the account books.
