I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 81 Gu Tuo's Shortcomings

Chen Guanshi was talking with a smile, he took out a letter, and handed it to Gu Tuo with both hands respectfully.

"This is a handwritten letter from my master, Master Gu, please read it."

Gu Tuo took it over and looked at it, and his face suddenly became serious.

what happened?Didn't Guanshi Chen say it was a happy event?Why does he look so bitter and bitter?
Seeing his reaction, Xia Ying stretched out her hand. "Show me the letter."

"Are you literate?" Gu Tuo blurted out subconsciously.

As soon as the words were spoken, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing again!
But it's too late.

Xia Ying's eyes suddenly turned cold, which made him flustered, so he hurriedly handed over the letter obediently.

In fact, all the characters written on it are in traditional characters, and Xia Ying doesn't know all of them.But pieced together, she can still understand the general meaning of the letter.

After reading it, she smiled. "This is a good thing! Thanks to Mr. Chen for looking up to me, thinking of finding my man to make furniture for Miss Chen to marry, he will definitely not let you down!"

"Our master said the same thing, so I decided with my wife to decide on you, Master Gu!" Chen Guanshi nodded with a smile, "Look, is this double happiness?"

"Indeed!" Xia Ying nodded.

Chen Guanshi hurriedly handed over another letter of money wrapped in red paper. "Here is a deposit of ten taels, please accept it with a smile, Master Gu. Within three days, the wood for making the furniture for the lady will be delivered. When the furniture is finished, the follow-up money will definitely be delivered to you in time!"

Gu Tuo took the money, and Xia Ying hurriedly said: "Okay, don't stand at the door, everyone, come in and drink some water to rest!"

Manager Chen didn't even enter the door, and stood directly at the gate and spoke so loudly, making it clear that he wanted to tell the two good news to the whole village and save face for them.But now, all that should be said has been said, and everyone doesn't need to stand around so stupidly.

Sure enough, Chen Guanshi nodded readily: "Then let's be cheeky and ask for a bowl of water at Master Gu's house!"

A group of people entered Gu Tuo's house in a lively manner, and the courtyard door was slammed shut, which also shocked the hearts of the crowd watching!
"How did this happen? Gu Tuo's luck is too good!" The young people around Jiang Cui gritted their teeth with hatred.

They were still cursing Gu Tuo and Xia Ying to die just now, and they will definitely be poor in the future!As a result, immediately, a servant from a wealthy family in the town came, and brought two pieces of good news in one breath!
And ten taels of silver!

Twelve!They have never seen so much silver in their lives!

Jiang Cui didn't even bother to shed tears anymore, she looked in the direction of Gu Tuo's house quietly, her eyes were full of regret.

While Chen Guanshi and the others were talking loudly, other people from the village came over to watch the excitement.

Now hearing these young people talking, someone shouted: "Brother Gao, what you said is wrong. What do you mean Geer Tuo and the others are lucky? They already have this ability, okay? They were punished before When the furniture store was framed, didn’t you rely on your own ability to get through it? People say that you came back from the provincial capital. You have seen the world and know more than us. Even if you are down now, you are better than us!”

They heard what Guanshi Chen said just now, and everyone knows that not only the Youyi Furniture Store in the town, but also their relatives have all been taken over by one pot!
Gu Tuo's contribution is indispensable here!

Now that the master of the town is asking Gu Tuo to make furniture for his married daughter, what a face is this?Normally, such a large family would only go to the county town or the provincial capital to find a good carpenter to make furniture. Who would look for it in Xiatou Village?Since the Chen family chose Gu Tuo, it proves that Gu Tuo definitely has the ability!
As long as Gu Tuo finishes this matter well, not only will he earn a lot of money, but he will also have a relationship with the Chen family!
So now they are more than double happiness?It's basically Sanyang Kaitai, okay?

Thinking about it now, Aunt Seven's family is really looking for a dead end if they fight against them!
When Jiang Cui and his group heard this, they all froze immediately. Although their eyes were full of unwillingness, they couldn't say anything else.

While at Gu Tuo's house, Xia Ying hurriedly dragged Brother Long Hao to the kitchen.After a while, the two brothers came out with several bowls of water each.

Chen Guanshi casually picked up the bowl in front of him and took a sip, then he opened his eyes suddenly, took another sip, and then exclaimed: "What kind of water is this? It's so delicious!"

Xia Ying smiled slightly. "This is the freshly picked edamame, peas, and broad beans that I wash together, put them in a pan, add coarse salt and fry them dry, then sieve out the salt grains, leaving only the beans, and then boil the beans in a large pot with water, and finally discard them. The beans are not used, only the crystal clear tea is left on top, that is, bean tea. This tea is sweet and refreshing in summer, clearing away heat and fire, and has an excellent taste."

"Indeed, this bean tea tastes really good. It's sweeter than ordinary white water, but it's not as sweet as tea leaves, and it has a unique fragrance. I was still wondering just now, talking about the smell So familiar? Now I heard Mrs. Gu say it, and I realized it—isn’t this the fragrance of beans? Even the tea is green, with the color of beans!” Chen Guanshi nodded repeatedly, “This kind It's also the first time I drink tea, so it's an eye-opener for me!"

After all, Gu Tuo's family was down and out, so he didn't expect to receive a good reception when he came to send a letter this time.But now, the bean tea alone is enough to amaze him, and he can't forget the taste for several days!

The people who came with Chen Guanshi also nodded quickly, everyone quickly enjoyed the tea in the bowl, and asked Xia Ying to add another bowl after drinking a bowl.

Gu Tuo and his son saw that these people praised Xia Ying's technique, and they all had expressions of pride on their faces.

Guanshi Chen and his party just sat down for a while, and everyone talked in detail about the specific process of the interrogation of shopkeeper Hu and his group, as well as Master Chen's requirements for furniture, and then Guanshi Chen and his party left.

After the people left, another shadow cast over Gu Tuo's face.

Xia Ying was very curious. "What's wrong with you? Do you think it's too stressful to do a whole set of dowry furniture by yourself?"

Gu Tuo shook his head. "For three months, they also provide the wood themselves, which is enough time."

"Then why are you? I think you didn't look quite right when you first heard the news from Chen Guanshi."

"This one……"

Gu Tuo was still hesitant and refused to reveal the truth. Gu Yuanlong couldn't stand it anymore, so he offered to help answer his doubts——

"Mom, you don't know, Dad has never done these things before, so he doesn't know where to start!"
