Chapter 31
Full of wine and food, Li Rui and others warmly invited him to meet his father, but Du Yu refused.

"I shouldn't have rejected my elder brother, but today I saw that the elders were disrespectful after drinking, and it is only polite to wait for me to clean up and equip and bring a generous gift to see you tomorrow."

Du Yu bowed again, with a very respectful attitude.

Li Rui nodded with a smile. This person should not be underestimated. The Chengfu's generosity, heart and knowledge are remarkable, and the future has a lot to do.

"Okay, since that's the case, I won't force it, so I'll take my leave first."

"Foolish brother sending off elder brother respectfully."

Now the names have been changed, and they are closer, and the distance between them has been shortened without leaving any traces.

After the three of them left the inn and returned to their place of residence, Li Rui asked Gu Lei and his sister, "What do you think?"

"This person is very skilled. The key is that a businessman has good vision and knowledge. It's amazing. He can hold such a big business like the Du family. He also has the means to cooperate. Yu'er, what do you think?"

"Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish to take the bait, he has already seen it."

Li Yu is clear in his heart, pretending to be stupid is because he needs to cooperate with his brother, and it is not because he is really short-hearted.

Li Rui also nodded, and glanced at his sister who was still playing with Brother Xu's toys.

"Don't play it badly for your brother, and keep crying."

"Hey, I'll make him a good one after playing for a while."

Li Yu smiled.

Back at the inn, Boss Li drank tea and played chess with the old man in the room, finally resting for a while.

"Father, we are back, has the doctor been here?"

"Come on, that doctor can't do it, he might as well know more than me, he can hang the book bag, let me send him away."

Boss Li waved his hand.

"Father, I saw him, and after a meal, my sister hanged him."

"Okay, when will you come?"

"Come tomorrow."

"I'll ask the Du family to find a doctor tomorrow, he must be familiar with the people here."

Li Yu thought of Du Yu in an instant, now he can't be so thin-skinned, he must use all available contacts and resources for his own use.

"Okay, you talk to him."

Boss Li doesn't know how to say it, and if he says it, it becomes a request, which is used by Du Yu instead.

"Put it on me, let's talk, I'm going back to the house."

Seeing that nothing happened, Li Yu went back to talk to his mother.

"Don't go, tell us about his shopping."

"I just show him the things and hand in the blueprints, and you decide the rest. If you want me to say, there's no need to give the blueprints. Be honest, this carriage doesn't dislike me and I can sell it to him. It's ready-made, and it seems that we are sincere and can still There is a next time cooperation. He can't understand the blueprint, he is not a little white rabbit, he is not so easy to deceive if he doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't stalk the eagle."

Li Yu put down the toy and told his elder brother earnestly that the previous plan might not work, but this Du Yu is too smart to leak anything.

Li Rui pinched his chin and pondered.

"Listen to your sister. Since we want to cooperate for a long time, we must let him see our sincerity. Even if the business fails in the end, there is benevolence and righteousness. We also have reason to choose other merchants. Doing business is the same as being a human being. There is openness and integrity. There are advances and retreats. room."

What Boss Li recognizes is his daughter's conduct, and her morality and intelligence will not cause major problems at any time.

Li Rui thought for a while before nodding, "Alright then, go play."

Li Yu left happily.

Gu Lei stayed to discuss the price of the business and how to further observe Du Yu and whether they could cooperate for a long time.

Li Yu took the things and went back to the house.

"Third Aunt, I bought something, you can choose what you like."

Pass things to them.

Aunt Gu took it over with a smile, "Oh! This kid is very careful, he bought everything I wanted, I bought everything I wanted, thank you Yu'er, you have been worrying about us all this way, I have wronged you .”

Third Aunt Gu liked Li Yu very much, her temperament and conduct were compatible, and she was the best for her, saving all the delicious food and drink for her.

On the contrary, she was indifferent to Lin Yue, and sometimes restrained her, and even reprimanded her for not knowing the rules, but when it came to Li Yu, the third aunt talked for her everywhere, saying that she worked hard and didn't need to pay too much attention to the rules when she was out.

"I'm not wronged. I ate so many meals from my third aunt, and I ate more of the delicious ones. I also use these things myself. It's a trivial matter."

"This child is just a pain in the ass. You can buy good things, but things outside are expensive."

Third Aunt Gu saw that the colors were all good-looking, so she carefully chose the clean ones, taking care of their filial piety to her husband, and she was considerate.

"Expensive, [-]% more expensive than the prices in the capital."

"What, so expensive."

Gu Lin looked up at Li Yu in surprise.

Even if she doesn't care about the director of the house, she still knows the price of things.

"There's no way around it. There is instability everywhere, and there are bandits robbing the land. I heard that several cities in the north were rebels and their land was cut off, and some clans became kings on their own."

In various places, the situation of ceding land for the king has appeared, and the situation is very chaotic. All major forces have sought refuge with their valued leaders, some are former generals, some are rebels, and some are certain princes.

Everyone encloses the land as king according to their ability, and guards the city that they have seized. In short, the situation is chaotic. The so-called emperor is already in jeopardy.

Under such circumstances, transportation and customs clearance have become very difficult, and it is normal for prices to soar.

"This situation is changing day by day. When will it settle down? Yu'er has worked hard on you. Now that the world has changed, we don't need to use such good materials. We can use cheap ones, and we can save as much as we can. There are many places to spend money. "

Gu Lin, who usually doesn't care about daily necessities, clearly feels that shopping is difficult, and things are surprisingly expensive, so he actively asks to lower the standard.

"If you can afford it, you should wear something that fits your body more comfortably."

"I know you are a good boy and caring, but... now I can't indulge myself like this anymore, I have to save it. I embroidered some purse handkerchiefs, you can sell them later, it's my best, really I have nothing else to do to help you.”

Gu Lin shook her head, with a bitter expression. After losing her husband, she suffered from sinking and suffering. Facing the famine, she was not used to this embarrassment. It was hard work, and her heart was too far apart.

But seeing her son's tired and disappointed eyes hurt her deeply, and she knew she had to change.

"Auntie, if you don't like it, I'll change it to another color for you."

Seeing Gu Lin's sad and helpless expression, Li Yu felt a little sympathetic and soft-hearted. She had never done anything bad anyway, and she also lost her husband, so she took out all the jewelry and money she could.

In fact, she is not a bad person, but she is not capable enough to bear the burden of the Hou family.

Gu Lin raised her head, took her hand and sat down. Lin Yue is not here now, and she is resting in her own room. The two aunts and Wang embroider together, and they also want to make up for two silver coins, and do their best to pass the time. .

"Yu'er, without you on this journey, we are afraid that we will have to suffer more. I know that I have done a lot of things wrong."

She lowered her head with red eyes, mouth full of bitterness, "Lei'er's father is gone, I can't accept the reality for a long time, I stubbornly think that I just had a nightmare, my man is not dead."

She raised her head and took a deep breath, "I can't adapt to the hard work of fleeing famine, the difference in status, the death of my husband, the collapse of the Gu family, and the extermination of my natal family. I finally understand why my mother-in-law doesn't like me anymore. I have been living in a dream. The Gu family has always protected me and taken care of me..."

She covered her mouth and sobbed and cried, she understood too late.

Third Aunt Gu turned her head away, tears streaming down her cheeks.
