Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 249
"The most famous poem describing Gusu is Zhang Ji's "Fengqiao Night Mooring".

A beautiful boy in green clothes and cloth shoes, lying drunk on the bow of the boat.

A wine gourd was placed on the ship's side, the young man's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold wind was blowing on his face, making him extremely comfortable.

Light boats and small boats are slowly crossing the Fengqiao.

The night is dark, and on both sides of the fishing fire, the temples with blue tiles and yellow walls are hidden behind verdant trees, which is quite Zen-like.

Jing Zhe, who was rowing the boat, said with a bitter face: "My lord, you really have a lot of leisure and elegance! The scientific examination once every three years, if you give up, you will give up. After returning to Jinling, how will we explain to the master? I am afraid that the master will kill me and Gu Yu alive." !"

The beautiful young man shook his folding fan, "I have read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. I am sixteen years old, and I am at a good age for studying abroad. Why do I enter the court so early? The court is full of old-fashioned, treacherous old men. Look at me!" It's annoying. How can it be more interesting than the delicate beauty in the karaoke bar?"

He smiled sweetly, as if slightly drunk.

The waterway ahead is gradually opening up, and there are painted boats sailing leisurely.

The man standing on the painting boat is over forty years old, elegant and vicissitudes.

He raised his hand to ask, "I received a letter from Master Caobang earlier, saying that Mr. Xiao is coming to Gusu soon. Mr. Xiao, please come aboard and talk."

Xiao Tingchen glanced at him, lazily pursed his lips, "I thought I would meet that charming and graceful Gusu beauty on the water tonight. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a spring night? Unexpectedly, the first one I met was a bad old man .”

"Bad old man" Gu Qiongzhou's mouth twitched slightly.

Let's say he's only 40 years old, okay? !

By the way, he looks very refined and elegant, okay? !
By the way, it is clearly Xiao Tingchen himself who asked him to meet, okay? !
The man really wanted to kill Xiao Tingchen.

The furnishings in the painting boat are elegant, and the floor is covered with gleaming bamboo mats, and the tables have already been set with delicious food and wine.

Several famous Gusu delicacies are particularly fresh and tender, such as green snail shrimp, hibiscus whitebait, and white-sauced turtle vegetables.

The green bamboo curtains on both sides are half-rolled, which can be used for people to drink and eat while watching the wind, flowers, snow and moon on both sides of the strait.

Gu Qiongzhou sat upright, "I heard that Mr. Xiao is here to acquire Sangtian?"

"Well, Jiangnan's silk weaving and salt iron... This green snail shrimp tastes really good, Mr. Gu has a heart. The Jiangnan silk weaving and salt iron are very profitable. Put aside the salt and iron, this silk weaving, the source On Sangtian. I think that if you can invest in the acquisition of Sangtian retail investors... How do you make this hibiscus whitebait? I tasted it, and it retains the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent without any fishy smell. It can be seen that Gusu’s food is really delicate ah!"

Gu Qiongzhou had tens of thousands of words in his mind, and he didn't feel ashamed to swear.

He poured wine for Xiao Tingchen with a smile, "Young Master Xiao just said, merge Sangtian retail investors?"

"Exactly. With mulberry fields, you can plant mulberry and raise silkworms. When the silkworms cocoon, we will call all the weaving girls in Gusu City—this cup is Sanbaijiu? You come here in the right way. Come, come, Mr. Gu, you are welcome, Gu Yu, give Mr. Gu more wine."

Gu Qiongzhou sternly said, "All the weaving girls in Gusu City? Mr. Xiao lives in an academy, and this kind of big talk really comes out of his mouth. The Gu family in Gusu accounts for half of the weaving girls in the city, and the rest are scattered in large and small silk weaving workshops." , how can it be so easy to gather all?"

The young man took a sip of wine comfortably, then glanced at Gu Qiongzhou's left hand.

The man had kept his left hand tucked in his sleeve since he had been aboard.

He quickly looked away, "Let me ask you, as the Gu family, why did you betray the Gu family and start your own family?"

Gusu Gu's family is the old lady's natal family.

It has been a merchant for hundreds of years. Although it has a profound heritage, it has never produced scholars.

The only exception,
It was Gu Qiongzhou.

However, for some reason, Gu Qiongzhou broke up with the Gu family 20 years ago, and voluntarily asked to withdraw from the family tree and set up a separate family.

Faced with the boy's question, Gu Qiongzhou was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Nine points are due to the reason, and the remaining one point is due to the family style of Gu's family."

The Gu family used to be a big family that was willing to do good and good things, but from one generation to the next, the descendants didn't know how to raise money and collect money, so they just wanted to save money.

Not only did he refuse to help the poor, but he was also too stingy to give wages to his servants.

The most troublesome time was when the monthly money was not paid to the women workers of the weaving workshop for three consecutive months, and those women workers jointly sued the Yamen to get back their hard-earned money.

It's not that the old lady of the Gu family has no money.

Just because of one word,

dig!
There are thousands of female workers and stewards in the weaving workshop, and the monthly money for three months is as high as thousands of taels. Wouldn’t it be nice to put it in the bank to generate interest, why should it be distributed to them...

Back then, this incident was a sensation in Gusu City, because the reputation was so bad that it even affected Gu Qiongzhou's official career.

Gu Qiongzhou persuaded the old man of the Gu family many times, but the other party didn't listen at all.

In a fit of anger, he expelled himself from the family tree and set up another family.
