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

Chapter 807

"Your father asked him before, but I think he was hesitating, but he just didn't say anything. You are about the same age as him, so if you ask him, you might just say it."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Lu gave Gu Lao a blank look, and the old man would make trouble for Xiao Bao.

My son is not even married yet, so he is busy making arrangements for his nephew and grandson.

"Your second uncle told me when he left, begging me to put some thought into Brother Fang's marriage, and left me 50 taels of silver when he left."

When Gu Changbai left, he almost knelt down and begged him, but he couldn't bear it after all.

The 50 taels of silver was taken from Xiaobao's financial package for Gu Changbai, and he knew that this was for him to make up for it.

He didn't want it at first, but Gu Changbai forced it to him, saying that it was a wish from the master for his grandson.

Before leaving, he confessed that he was sorry for his family and Xiaobao.

He also said not to blame Brother Fang, because when he left, he entrusted Brother Fang to his family.

His heart softened, after all, he broke the bones and tendons.

Gu Chengyu was not surprised. Before Gu Changbai left, he was afraid that the other party would make trouble again, and told Ming Mo and the others to keep an eye on it, so he also knew about the 50 taels.

"Just help me and ask, don't worry about other things, and you don't need to pay money for getting married. You, an unmarried elder, can't handle the marriage for the younger generation."

Father Gu doesn't plan to let Xiaobao subsidize any more, he and the old woman will just subsidize more.

Naturally, it is impossible to be extravagant like a big family's wedding, just like ordinary people's marriage.

Gu Chengyu didn't think too much about it, anyway, his parents don't have to worry about money in his house, it's the same for whoever comes out.

"Then let me help and ask!" Gu Chengyu nodded in response.

As soon as Gu Chengyu returned to his study, he heard Ming Mo say that there was some clue about what happened to the shopkeeper Xing in Jingyuan Mansion last time.

"This matter is indeed the fault of Huifanglou. They plotted against shopkeeper Xing. The concubine Yang and her younger brother were both arrested, but there is no news about Huayutou. This is their confession, please read it, my lord. "

Ming Mo handed over the letter in his hand, and at the same time explained: "The two of you were missing before, but just ten days ago, the two of you appeared in Jingyuan Mansion again, and were arrested by the people we left behind. on."

Gu Chengyu took the letter and looked at it in two lines.

"I can't find this Huayutou, but shopkeeper Xing is really stupid. What kind of siblings? These two are actually a pair of wild mandarin ducks."

Gu Chengyu sneered, this storekeeper Xing is also a fool.These two people were having an affair openly and aboveboard under his nose!
Shopkeeper Xing not only provided the venue, but also gave money to the adulterer to spend. The most ridiculous thing is that the top of the head is green.

Ming Mo was also a little shocked, he was speechless for a while.

"The Huifang Building?" Ming Mo asked for instructions.

People are being bullied to the head, so you have to fight back, right?
"The owner of the Huifang Building is called Chen Hongwei, and he has an oblique relationship with Xia Qing's big disciple Zhang Shuo. But let's not worry about it for the time being. If they come in secret, we can come in secret too."

He suspected that the real owner behind the Huifang Building was either Zhang Shuo or Xia Qing.

It's stupid to carry it head-on, why not use it if there is a conspiracy?
"You send someone to investigate Chen Hongwei's matter carefully, and let's do it back!"

As soon as Ming Mo went out in response, Ming Yan came in to report that it was Gu Wanfang who had come.

Gu Chengyu was dumb, and came quite quickly.

"My nephew has met my uncle!" Gu Wanfang saluted Gu Chengyu respectfully.

Gu Chengyu had a headache, and Gu Wanfang was always a little cautious in front of him, and he felt that it was extremely embarrassing to mention this matter.

"Is there anything you don't understand in the past few days? I heard from your uncle that you came to see me twice before."

"There are a few places that I don't understand, please ask my uncle to clarify."

Gu Chengyu answered all the questions raised by Gu Wanfang one by one. The two talked about homework for half an hour, and finally Gu Wanfang stopped.

"You must master all the knowledge you have learned. You have a good sense of comprehension. In the future, you can ask me if you don't understand. You don't have to be cautious when you come to the house. You are all from your own family."

Gu Chengyu felt that this son was quite interesting, so he deliberately missed the meal when he came to visit the mansion.Unlike Gu Changbai, who always presses ahead.

Gu Wanfang hurriedly agreed, but she didn't dare to take it seriously.

"Uncle, actually..." Gu Wanfang hesitated to speak, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.

"Just speak up if you have something to say!" Gu Chengyu frowned slightly when he couldn't get used to his hesitation.

"My nephew feels sorry for being helped by my uncle all the time. I just want to open a small bookstore on South Street, so that I can manage my own food and clothing. It's just that my nephew is too shy, so I ask my uncle to lend me the money first. Some money, and when my nephew has enough money, I will return it to my uncle."

After Gu Wanfang finished speaking, she felt that her face was burning badly.

In fact, this matter is tantamount to being a white wolf with empty hands, taking Gu Chengyu's money to open a bookstore, and returning it after the bookstore makes money.

So he was very embarrassed. He had been pondering over this matter for half a month, and he had been to the Gu mansion several times during the period, but he couldn't speak.

But it's not a problem that he is always supported by the Gu family. When the master left, he only left him five taels of silver. Now he has to rely on the Gu family for food and clothing.

It's not that the Gu family treated him badly, the clothes, shoes and socks were all sent by the Gu family, and he was given a monthly payment of ten taels of silver.

The rented yard was also paid by the Gu family, and he also found a woman who cooks and does laundry. He just needs to study in peace of mind.

Gu Chengyu narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gu Wanfang, did he want to get out of his control?Or do you simply feel embarrassed to cling to him like a blood-sucking bug?
The room fell silent, and Gu Wanfang's forehead was already sweating.

After a few breaths, Gu Chengyu finally opened his mouth.

"That's good! You are a man with a weak crown, you can't open your mouth when you eat, and stretch out your hands when you wear clothes. As long as opening a bookstore doesn't affect your reading, I still support it. Besides, you always talk about your love. It's really not right to have no job."

Gu Chengyu agreed, no matter what the reason was, he still knew how to make progress after all.

Gu Wanfang has come to the Gu mansion so many times, if he coaxed Gu's father to give money while he was away, his father would definitely agree.

But Gu Wanfang didn't do that, knowing that he wanted to come and talk to him, no matter what the reason was, it was finally clear.

Gu Wanfang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He thought that his uncle would not agree.

"It's not easy to spread the books. I won't send someone to help you. You have to find a way by yourself. I will ask Chen Guanshi to pay you 400 taels of silver in the account later. Is it enough?"

Gu Wanfang hurriedly bowed and replied: "That's enough, my nephew only plans to open a small one, the money is enough, thank you uncle!"

In fact, for a small shop in the south, the annual rent is not much, and the most expensive thing is books.

In the early stage, he planned to copy more and sell them in bookstores. His classmates also have good handwriting, so he can also give money to let them copy books.
