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

Chapter 76

The next day, Gu Chengyu was still woken up by Father Gu. It seemed that in this ancient times, there was no entertainment at night, and it had already become a habit to sleep. I went to bed late last night, so I couldn’t get up today. I got up and watched in the space. I checked the time, it was 07:30.

"His mother, Xiaobao and I will go to Mr. Li's house first. It's late. I'm afraid he will go out again. After we go, we will go to the elder brother's house. We may come back later. If we come back late, you can have lunch first. "Gu Lao asked towards Mrs. Lu.

Gu Chengyu followed his father to go through the village to Li Langzhong's house at the end of the village. As soon as he left the hospital, he heard the loud voice of Zhang's daughter-in-law next door: "Oh! You don't know, the Gu family sent it back in a bullock cart yesterday! I don't know where I went yesterday. I just lost ten taels of silver two days ago. The third and fourth apprentices are all lost. Why are you willing to call a bullock cart? I guessed it, and I heard what the old Wang Tou who drove the cart said! They went to Gu Xiu’s house in Huaihe Town, so they went to borrow some money, right? Besides, they seemed to have quarreled after dinner last night, and it was quite loud.”

"I also heard from Old Wangtou yesterday that he was going to Gu Xiu's house. Tell me, this Gu family still has a lot of money! If you say ten taels of silver, you will pay." The wife of Dalan's family in the west of the village was very envious Her man is just lazy, he doesn't even go to the town to do part-time jobs all year round, and he can't save money, ten taels of silver is a lot of money to her.

"You're from Dalan's family, even if you're jealous. Who told you that Dalan is really lazy? With those two acres of land, it's God's blessing that you didn't starve to death. You still want money!"

"Hey? Wang Yueniang, my family is poor, but it doesn't bother you! It's your turn to talk about my man. Your family has money, and you have the ability to show it to everyone." I'm happy, she is dissatisfied with her man, but it's not her turn to say it, Wang Yueniang.What if she doesn't know?She's not young anymore, she wears fancy clothes all day long, and looks at men with hooks in her eyes, it's not a thing.

"Oh! What is this for? Everyone has something to say, and they are all from the same village. Those from Dalan's family and Yang's family have a tofu heart. Don't forget to take it to heart." Zhang's daughter-in-law, Huang, originally I planned to watch the excitement, but she caused this remark, and it would be ugly if there was a row or a fight.

Gu Chengyu forgot about the past. There is a big banyan tree at the entrance of Shangling Village. The banyan tree is very big. It has been a few years old and has luxuriant branches. It is very suitable for enjoying the coolness under the tree in summer. At the same time, it is also a gathering place for women in the village to gossip.

"Hmph! Xiaobao, let's go. Some people like to talk about people's right and wrong all day long. They can't even manage their own one-acre land, and they can manage other people's affairs." When he went out, he heard the villagers talking about his family's right and wrong, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Gu's house was close to the village entrance, so the old man raised his voice, of course those women could hear him, and they were a little embarrassed when they saw the person who was talking about it.Then we talked about other issues, whose puppy gave birth to puppies!Whose old lady is sick again!
Dalan's family felt even more embarrassed, stood up straight and prepared to go back. She didn't go to Xiasang Village in a bullock cart to catch a small market, so it was better to go back.What's more, she also knows that people in the village look down on her family, and she doesn't usually come here, but she is going to the fields today, passing by here to listen.

Gu Chengyu thinks that this is actually idle time, and now that it's not the real busy time of farming, these women still have time to go to the market here.When the farming is busy, they are all in the fields.However, there are so many opportunities for Wang Yueniang to play!Why do you run into her wherever you go?
The last time I walked the small road behind the village, I felt very unlucky when I encountered such a thing. Although the Lord is here this time, I don’t want to go there again. Who knows if there are other people in that place?
Gu Chengyu followed Father Gu to the courtyard door of Langzhong Li's house, and knocked on the door as usual.Every household in the village gets up early, and there are very few people in the village who are still unaffordable, and some of them are young children.Of course, the big sloth just now was an exception.

"Who? It's here." The courtyard gate remembered Li Langzhong's voice, with something still in his mouth, and his speech was a little vague.Gu Chengyu guessed that he must be eating breakfast. Li Langzhong would get up early to see others because he had something to do, so he usually ate two pieces of pastries in the morning to cushion his stomach.

Li Langzhong opened the courtyard door and saw that the Gu family father and son were standing outside the courtyard door, so he thought it was because of ginseng. "It's brother Gu and Xiaobao? Come in!"

"Brother Li is still busy? We interrupted you!" Father Gu looked at Li Langzhong as if he had just eaten, but it was their fault.

"It's okay, Brother Gu, come in and talk!" Li Langzhong turned sideways and stepped behind the door.

"Master, who's here?" Yao's voice came to mind in Zaojian.

"Brother Gu and Xiaobao are here, bring me two cups of tea."

"Is it Xiaobao? Come in and sit down." Yao still likes this little baby.

"Hey~ No need to bring tea, you see that every time we come back, you are so polite, Xiaobao and I just sit down and leave right away." Father Gu should be embarrassed, last time Xiaobao was at his house a meal.

The three of them entered the main room, and Mrs. Yao came in from the outer courtyard with a tray. In addition to three bowls of tea, there was also a plate of mung bean cakes on the tray.

"aunt!"

"Hey! Doesn't Xiaobao love to eat mung bean cake? Eat it quickly, it's specially reserved for you!" Yao put down the tea bowl, and placed the mung bean cake in front of Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu was embarrassed when he heard this, who rumored that he loves mung bean cake?Helpless, it's hard to take away Yao's kindness.

"Thank you, ma'am." I had no choice but to take out a piece of mung bean cake from the plate and bite it in small bites. When I looked up, I found that Yao Shi was looking at him with loving eyes from the opposite side.This strange feeling came again. Is he thinking too much or is there really something wrong?

"Brother Li, I went to the county seat according to your instructions, and found shopkeeper Liu of Huichuntang. He knew that you had introduced me, and he delayed me to say hello to you, and said he hadn't seen you for a long time." Old Gu remembered yesterday In such a situation, it is almost impossible to see shopkeeper Liu.

"Hey! I haven't seen him for more than three years. Did you sell the ginseng to him? How much money did he give? I think he won't treat you badly." Li Langzhong was also very sad. Things, only the two of them were left, but he didn't want to get involved in the past. He was used to the ordinary and relaxing life in Shangling Village.

"The shopkeeper Liu gave you 500 taels for your sake!" Father Gu was excited when he mentioned the 500 taels.

"Oh? Such a good ginseng is indeed worth so much, this time he is not stingy. What about the honeysuckle?"

Gu Lao didn't want to mention honeysuckle at first, Li Langzhong gave less than shopkeeper Liu, in fact shopkeeper Liu also gave five cents a catty more for the sake of ginseng.He was afraid that Li Langzhong would misunderstand that he thought it was too little, so he didn't want to say it, but Li Langzhong asked, they were old acquaintances, and he couldn't lie.

"Oh! I gave a hundred coins a catty, and I gave it more for the sake of selling ginseng." Old Gu said hesitantly.

Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Li Langzhong laughed out loud. "Brother Gu, don't be embarrassed. His shopkeeper Liu is the shopkeeper of a medical clinic. He has a lot of money. It's okay to give you more. I'm just a rural doctor, so I can only give you less, as long as Brother Gu doesn't dislike less. .”

Gu Chengyuzi had been watching Li Langzhong's eyes just now, and found that he was really lifeless, open-minded, and not small-minded.Um!He is very satisfied!
