Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 122 Can’t carry it away

"My dear father, please speak clearly." He was so confused that even Rokuro picked up his books and was still thinking about the silver coins.

Gu Laosi was distracted and didn't know how the topic turned to money. "Second brother, I don't know everything. Don't listen to what our father says."

Mr. Gu hit his old son with chopsticks.

"I'm not wrong, who do you want my second brother to think I am?" Gu Laosi hurriedly hid on the other side, "I don't know who lacks the virtue to talk nonsense with our father.

He said that you must have not only received a thank-you gift in your early years, but you were also recruited to do fur business. You are the boss of the business, and all the leather goods shop owners in the city know you as Master Wu.

You must have made more than five or six taels of silver every year when you traveled far away. You also said that someone saw you hiding several carts of goods in a big car shop earlier, and your second uncle helped you hide it.

When I came back before dark, my father asked me if I knew anything, but I didn’t even hear him. If dad didn’t believe me, I went to see my second uncle for a drink, and his second uncle said that our dad was confused..."

When Gu Erzhu heard these words, he shook his head in his heart. Who else could talk nonsense and keep his wealth to himself? Only a few people knew that he returned from a long trip every year and handed over five or six taels of silver.

The old man and his wife, the eldest father and his son, the third and fourth sons, and his own couple and children.

There is no need to think twice, it is obvious that either the old man is talking to himself, or the boss and his son are gossiping. As for why several trucks of goods were hidden in a big car shop?

Think he has no brain!

No matter how good the second uncle is, he is not his second uncle alone. In order to save some rent, he had to hide the goods in a big car shop, and it was not impossible to find a place.

Then again, it's "the owner of a fur goods shop", and it's "someone who lacks great virtue is talking nonsense". In all likelihood, this matter is still the old man making things up out of thin air and talking about himself.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the eldest father and his son must have instigated it. At least after the separation, if the eldest son didn't say anything, Dalang's child would also say something.

As for why the old man didn't tell me earlier and didn't tell me until now, he asked me now. It's simple and he is jealous.

It sounds like the couple left the old home during the day, and the old man went to find his second uncle, hoping to catch his pigtails and squeeze him.

It's a pity, not to mention that the second uncle at least vaguely knew something, even if he knew, the division of the family had already embarrassed the second uncle and the eldest uncle who had provided the guarantee, and nothing could be said.

"...At first, I praised Erlang for doing a good job. As a brother, you should help me and I should help you. If I don't make it clear, the second brother will not think that I am stirring up trouble behind his back."

"Stop talking." Gu Lao San patted Gu Lao Si's leg. He was so disobedient that he even pulled his clothes off. The fourth lao kept nagging him!

"Third brother, do you also think I made a mistake?"

"I didn't say you were wrong. Our father didn't scold you." I'm so anxious, how old I am, and I don't even notice that there are several nephews here. Gu Laosan shook his head, "We are all brothers. Seeing how old you are, I already know what your temper is. How can our second brother not know that you are not a gossip at all?"

Gu Erzhu stood up and patted Gu Laosi on the shoulder, "Eat it while it's hot. Just like your third brother said, the second brother still doesn't know that you hate people making trouble.

It's okay. He is our father. He can't hit or scold him. You can say whatever you like. I'm used to it. Do you think I'm annoyed? "

Mr. Gu glared, "You're really annoyed."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong." He must have done something wrong in his previous life to end up with such a man! Gu Erzhu walked around behind Mr. Gu and put his hands on his shoulders, "A thousand taels is nothing. Your son, I have hidden tens of thousands of wealth. Are you happy now? Take a good look at which child here is not more filial than Da Lang? You're a lot older, don't keep thinking about things that you have and don't have, or you won't make your children feel cold."

With a "pop" sound, Mr. Gu slapped his son hard, "I asked you to instigate me. I already told you which one is my son or grandson. Why don't you feel bad for me!"

"It hurts." Gu Erzhu rubbed his leg, "It hurts enough. My son drank too much and talked nonsense. No wonder his head is always dizzy. What time is it now?"

"It's almost the second watch." Gu Laosi stood up, "It's time to rest, we have to work tomorrow morning. Third brother, are you going to the town tomorrow morning?" "I will. Let's go early, just in time to take you and Go to town with Wulang. That’s right, Erlang, wait for your third uncle to pick you up tomorrow morning, don’t leave alone.”

"Is the carriage uncomfortable?" Mr. Gu looked at his children and grandchildren sitting there and stood up all at once. He scolded his third son and sighed, "Old man, it's useless. If you say more than a few words, your son will dislike you."

did not hear!

Don't listen, don't listen!

Gu Laosi hurried to the door of the hall, calling his mother and daughter-in-law to go back; Gu Erzhu followed closely to get Mr. Gu's big cotton-padded jacket.

Gu Erlang wanted to laugh when he saw it. Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, it was not rude, so he took advantage of the situation and made an appointment with his cousins ​​to wait for Liulang to take a break from school.

Kitchen room.

Hearing the shout, Ms. Liu was so happy that she didn't bother to ask Old Mrs. Gu to stay for a night with polite words. She quickly found Old Mrs. Gu's big cotton-padded jacket and put it on for Old Mrs. Gu.

A group of children and family members had no idea that Mr. Gu was "driven out" of the main room surrounded by his children and grandchildren, and came out of the kitchen chatting and laughing. It was so lively.

Only Mrs. Gu has been a couple for most of her life. Seeing that Mr. Gu didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, I knew that he was unhappy again.

Back to the old home.

Everyone goes back to their respective rooms.

Lying on the kang, seeing Mr. Gu tossing and turning and losing all the heat in the bed, Mrs. Gu had no choice but to speak, "Tell me, what happened again."

"I don't recognize you."

Mrs. Gu sat up suddenly, "Are you really asking me? When you entered the room, I didn't tell you that the chairs were not new.

Didn’t I tell you all the things that had no trace in the first place? It’s just you who listened to Dalang’s words and thought wildly. Do you still want this son? "

"What are you doing? Keep your voice down." Mr. Gu listened to the noise next door, "Lie down quickly and listen to me first. I'm really not just imagining things. What Dalang said makes sense. Liulang's wife, Liulang personally saved her. , it’s not strange to be able to marry into the family, but is it a second wife?”

Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes.

"Lao Ma's family is rich. She has four or five sons and only one daughter. She can't find a good family. Why would she pay a large dowry to marry Erlang?

Because Erlang is good-looking, and there are many good-looking people, he still betrothed his daughter to Erlang despite knowing that our family is only for the eldest son to study.

Unless, as Dalang said, the Ma family are hunters and his second uncle is engaged in fur trading, the Ma family will not know his second uncle's background, so they are willing to promise their daughter to Erlang. "

It makes sense, but if the second child doesn't recognize it, what can you do? Now that you have two daughters-in-law with generous dowries, no one will believe you and your grandson even if the second one gives you money.

If you go public, people will laugh at you, saying that the second brother separated and gave you all the family assets, and you, as the father, are still looking for trouble and worrying about your grandson's wife's dowry.

"Yeah, there's really nothing we can do against him." Mr. Gu gritted his teeth, "Didn't you hear that this little bastard, the Fourth, almost sold me out tonight!"

"..."
