Chapter 240 Kind Treatment

Gu Huayu smiled and said with relief, "Don't worry, uncle. The two brothers' schools have been contacted. They will follow me back to the city. They will get familiar with each other for two days before they can enter the school to study."

Wanshi was afraid that her brother would think too much, so she said: "Brother, let Brother Chen and Brother Wei go with Xiaoyu. We have already contacted the school. Brother Gui is also studying in that school. When he came back, he said that the gentleman who taught them was very good. No, they are all Jinshi in the two rankings.”

Wan Chen and Wan Wei looked at Gu Huayu with bright eyes. Wan Chen asked, "Xiaoyu, is this school really so great?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "That's true. The headmaster of the college is Xu Bochen. Mr. Xu was good friends with the then Grand Scholar Yang. Both of them were the proud disciples of the late Emperor Huang. Mr. Xu devoted his life to teaching and contributed to Daxing. A lot of talent has been developed.”

“Such a good gentleman needs a lot of training, right?” Wan Guifeng asked.

Gu Huayu said: "Uncle, you don't have to worry about Shu Xiu. I've made all the arrangements. The two cousins ​​just need to study with peace of mind."

Wan Chen and Wan Wei bowed to Gu Huayu and said, "Thank you, Xiaoyu."

Wanshi urged: "Since you want to go back to the city, let's leave early. It's hot and the sun will be poisonous if you're late."

Gu Huayu said goodbye to Mrs. Ping. Mrs. Ping said with a smile: "Go, be careful on the road."

When getting on the bus, Gu Chenglin didn't want to take the bus himself, so he had to sit with Qing Yu, "Xiaoyu, I'll take a bus with you and talk along the way."

Gu Huayu said: "Then, third brother, come in the carriage."

Gu Chenglin shook his head and said, "No, I'm sitting with Qingyu, and I happen to be familiar with the bottom lane."

On the way, Gu Chenglin asked: "Xiaoyu, the second sister-in-law also went to work in the shop? Why didn't I see her?"

Gu Huayu replied: "No, Mr. Wang and his second brother have reconciled and separated."

 Gu Huayu briefly explained the matter.

After hearing this, Gu Chenglin said: "Wang is such a smart person. It doesn't matter if we reconcile or divorce, my second brother can still live a peaceful life for a few days."

Gu Huayu didn't want to talk more about Wang's family, so she asked about the situation at home.

Gu Chenglin said: "My family is fine. My father and mother live with my grandfather in Shangtai Village. My second uncle and aunt live in Zhuangzi in Shuilan. My eldest brother and sister-in-law live in Meiyuan in the city.

 Brother Sui misses you very much. Hearing that I was coming to the capital, he clamored to come with me. On the day we set out, he chased him far out of the city, but his sister-in-law forced him to go back with a ruler. "

Thinking about Brother Sui's appearance, Gu Huayu felt soft in her heart and said, "Why don't Third Brother bring him here?"

Gu Chenglin said: "I also said that I brought him with me. My sister-in-law said that he is very naughty now. I am afraid that if he comes over, he will be disobedient and cause trouble for you."

"Is Brother Sui very naughty now? How old is he? Nine years old?" Gu Huayu asked.

Gu Chenglin nodded and said, "Yeah, more than nine years old, almost ten years old. In fact, I think it's not bad. My sister-in-law has high expectations for Brother Sui. She is usually strict in discipline and nags the child all day long. The child will get annoyed if he listens too much. My eldest brother is busy in the shop all day long and has no time to discipline me.”

Gu Huayu asked: "Why do you, sister-in-law, talk about it all the time? Isn't Brother Sui studying in school?"

Gu Chenglin lifted his legs up on the wooden board, tilted his body toward the carriage, and said, "Speaking of studying, Brother Sui hasn't been to school for a few days."

"Why?" Gu Huayu had a bad feeling in her heart and asked with a frown.

Gu Chenglin said: “This year there were a few naughty children in the school. They didn’t listen in class and got together to fight after class.

 Brother Sui was beaten several times by those kids, and he didn’t dare to tell his family at first.

  The last incident was not long ago. Brother Sui’s head was swollen and his left eye was black and blue. We didn’t find out until we got home.

My eldest brother and I went to the school to ask my husband. My husband shook his head with a headache and advised us not to delve deeper. He said that the other party was very powerful and we would get no benefit from asking. "

Gu Huayu was furious after hearing this and asked: "Who is the other party? So arrogant!"

Gu Chenglin said: "A few rascals from the Chen family and the Yan family."

“Chen family, a member of Magistrate Chen’s clan?” Gu Huayu asked.

Gu Chenglin nodded, "Yes, he lives in the same room as County Magistrate Chen. He is the grandson of Chen Zhongshi, the magistrate of Jiangnan East Road."

Gu Huayu then asked: "Where is the Yan family? What's going on?"

"The Yan family is a wealthy businessman in Xinzhou Prefecture. I heard people say that the Yan family is extremely rich. I don't understand why they send their children to Shicheng to study if they are so rich."

Gu Huayu thought for a while, figured out the key, and asked: "Did the children of Chen Yan's family enter the school at the same time?"

Gu Chenglin nodded, "Yes, Chen Xiyao from the Chen family entered the school five days later, and then the Yan family entered the school.

I heard from Brother Sui that Chen Xiyao was very naughty in Hongcheng. He was so naughty that no teacher could teach him, so his family sent him back to Shicheng to study. "

Campus bullying exists even in modern times, let alone this era?

Gu Huayu is anxious about Brother Sui’s studies. "So, Brother Sui doesn't plan to go back to school?"

Gu Chenglin said helplessly: "How can I go if I get beaten when I go to school? The eldest brother said that after a while, I will ask a gentleman to go back and teach Brother Sui."

"This can't be done. This will delay Brother Sui. I'll write a letter to my eldest brother later and ask him to bring his sister-in-law and children to the capital."

Gu Chenglin shook his head and said: "I don't think the eldest brother will come. This time I will discuss it with him when I come and ask him if he wants to come together?

The eldest brother said that there must be someone at home. Grandpa, father and mother are all in Shicheng. If we are all away, what should we do if the old people at home have something to do? "

Gu Huayu thought for a while and said, "Then let someone pick Brother Sui out."

When Gu Huayu was in Shangtai Village, Brother Sui followed her like a little tail, and her sister-in-law called her short and was very close to her. She had the ability to take care of him, but she couldn't let him be delayed and ignored.

Gu Chenglin followed Gu Huayu out and had some experience, and he also knew that children's education could not be delayed.

He said in agreement: "Brothers and sisters-in-law will listen to you. If you ask Brother Sui to come out, they should agree."

Gu Huayu thought for a while, "Okay, let Qing Zhuzi go back and see if the second uncle, the second uncle, the fourth brother and the fifth brother are willing to come out. If so, take them out together."

Gu Chenglin said with a smile: "Brother Zhang is probably Zhuangzi who can't bear to part with Shuilan."

Gu Huayu thought about the way Gu Chengzhang saw Zhuangzi, pursed her lips, and said, "Then tell him that I will buy him a bigger Zhuangzi in the capital."

"This is a good idea. But, Xiaoyu, will it be a drag on you if our whole family comes over?" Gu Chenglin said seriously.

Gu Chenglin didn't want to come to the capital this time, just because his father-in-law and mother-in-law were coming to the capital, and Xiaoshuang was also in the capital. Dashuang couldn't let them go and clamored to follow them.

Gu Chenglin also thought that the capital was big and it shouldn't be difficult to find something to do, so he agreed.

However, I was still afraid of causing trouble to Gu Huayu.

 Gu Huayu knew that Gu Chenglin had always been considerate, and people who were considerate were more considerate.

Smiling and comforting, he said, "No, my family will leave when they say it's troublesome. When my father and mother took me back, they only wanted to raise me well and bring me up. They didn't think that I would be a drag on the family." ”

 In her previous life, she really brought down the family and caused the whole family to die unexpectedly.

The Gu family has never disliked her, so how could she dislike them?

Gu Chenglin said: "This is different. When you come to the house, it's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks and a bowl. As a family, we can feed you by saving one mouthful.

Now the whole family has come to the capital to join you. The capital is very expensive. Even a green onion costs money. We have so many mouths to rely on you for food. Brother Liang, Brother Gui, and brothers from the Wan family are studying in the school. , calculated inside and out, the daily expenses are huge.

Moreover, you are now the princess, and it is inevitable to interact with the aristocratic families in the capital.

We country bumpkin relatives don’t know anything about rules and etiquette. We will only embarrass you and embarrass you in front of others. "

Gu Chenglin stood in Gu Huayu's position and said what he thought.

No matter what Gu Chenglin said was right or not, Gu Huayu was still very moved by Gu Chenglin's ability to think about himself at all times.

“Thank you, Third Brother, for always thinking about me. Don’t worry, Third Brother, about the money. If I can pick you up, I can take care of the whole family, just like everyone took care of me back then.

  As for other things, I have also thought about them. However, I am not worried that my family will embarrass me. I am worried that other people’s gossip will hurt my family.

But I also thought, let’s live our own lives, why should we care about other people’s opinions? Live under the lips of others?

 So, third brother, we just need to focus on ourselves.

 It is enough to take good care of the people we care about, to let the elderly live a worry-free life, to let the children grow up healthily, to work hard to make progress, to live each day to the fullest, and not to live in vain.

  Don't care about other people's eyes and words. "

Gu Chenglin was silent for a moment and said: "Xiaoyu, I pretend to be older than you in vain. I don't think as clearly as you."

Gu Huayu said: "Third brother is here. Let's help Su Er first and get familiar with the capital with Su Er. Taking this opportunity, third brother also thinks carefully about what kind of business he should do. Three months later, I will pay Third Brother How about opening a shop?"

Gu Chenglin shook his head and said: "Thank you Xiaoyu, I'll learn from Su Er first. As for opening the shop, I can do it myself.

In the past few years, I have saved five thousand three hundred taels of silver. When I went out, I transferred the dock to my elder brother, who gave me another two thousand taels. Now I have seven thousand three hundred taels of silver on hand.

I will first familiarize myself with the environment in the capital, and then try a smaller shop.

 You often say that it is more important to dare to compete. If you try boldly and sum up experience while doing it, you will not lose anything.

  It’s just that I have to live with you for now. I can’t move out from your place until my third brother makes money and buys a house in the capital. "

Gu Huayu was very pleased to hear Gu Chenglin's words. He is family-oriented, kind-hearted, diligent and progressive, not vain, nor covets things that do not belong to him. He has been well educated since he was a child.

“Third brother, don’t worry about where you live. Zhuangzi outside the city is very spacious. This is Sanjin’s house in Wutong Lane in the city.

In addition to Wutong Lane, I also have a house with three entrances on Yongchun Road.

The emperor gave me a princess mansion, which was rebuilt on my old house on Yongchun Road. We can move into it next year.

I plan to give you the house on Wutong Lane, and give the house on Yongchun Road to my uncle and the others. I also want to take advantage of my grandfather's health to bring him to the capital to live for a while and fulfill my filial piety. "

 In the years when Gu Huayu came to modern times, the people she recalled most in her midnight dreams were the Gu family and her children. Then she would think that if she could live her life again, she would treat them well. Now that God has given her a chance, she doesn't want to leave any regrets for herself.

After hearing Gu Huayu's arrangement, Gu Chenglin only felt warm and warm, and said without brushing off her kindness, "Okay, third brother, follow Xiao Yu's arrangement. How about I go back to Shicheng to pick up my grandfather?"

Gu Huayu lifted the curtain excitedly and looked at Gu Chenglin with bright eyes, "Really? It would be best if the third brother can take a trip. It's hard work for the third brother."

Seeing Gu Huayu's happy expression, Gu Chenglin felt warmer in his heart, "What's the trouble? Others are going to pick up grandfather, but they may not be able to pick him up. I'll pick him up, and I'll definitely be able to pick him out."

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "That's right, if grandpa doesn't agree, you will be cheating."

Gu Chenglin looked at Qingyu, looked left and right, and quickly changed the subject: "Are we almost there?"

Qingyu said: "We will reach Wutong Lane just around the corner."

Gu Huayu smiled and put down the curtain and said no more.

 Back home, Gu Huayu asked, "Is Uncle Hua in the house or out?"

The servant responded: "Back to the princess, Uncle Hua, Su Er, and Qingzhu are discussing matters in the study."

Gu Huayu took Gu Chenglin to the study.

Gu Chenglin asked: "Xiaoyu, how are Qingzhu and Xiaoshuang doing?"

Gu Huayu stopped, looked at Gu Chenglin and asked, "What happened? Xiaoshuang and Qingzhu?"

 Gu Chenglin saw Gu Huayu's expression and knew that she didn't know anything about it, "Xiao Shuang is determined to come to the capital because of Qingzhu."

"I don't know, neither of them said anything. How long have they been together?" Gu Huayu asked.

Gu Chenglin said: "In the past few years that Qingzhu has been in Shicheng, he has often visited Wanjia."

Gu Huayu knew this, and she asked Qingzhu to stay in Shicheng to take care of Wan and Gu's family.

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "I know this."

Gu Chenglin continued: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law have two daughters, so they are weaker in terms of labor. You know, working in the countryside is impossible without labor.

 It's fine in normal times, but when the farming season is busy, there's really nothing I can do about it.

One time, Qingzhu went to give them money. Seeing that his father-in-law was too busy to eat, he took off his shoes and went to the fields to help.

Since then, Qingzhu often went to Wan's house to help, so Xiao Shuang became interested in that.

I heard from Dashuang that Xiaoshuang confessed his love to Qingzhu, but was rejected by Qingzhu. When Qingzhu came to the capital, she followed him. "

Gu Huayu asked: "Do you know why Qingzhu rejected Xiao Shuang? He doesn't like Xiao Shuang?"

Gu Chenglin shook his head, "It's probably not that he doesn't like it. Dashuang said that Qingzhu seems to be a slave, and he can't make the decision in his marriage."

Gu Huayu said: "What is the attitude of the second uncle and the second aunt?"

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law think that Qingzhu is a nice person, but they are worried about his status. If he is a slave, the children will also be slaves in the future, so they have not expressed their position until now. Xiaoshuang chased Qingzhu to the capital. They couldn't defeat Xiaoshuang, so they could only let it go. she."

Gu Huayu nodded, "I'll ask Qingzhu and Xiaoshuang later to see what their attitudes are."
