"Dad! The red deed is still insured, and the money spent is worth it! By the way, has the homestead been approved?" Gu Chengyu actually felt that the tax of sixteen taels of silver was quite heavy. No wonder in ancient times
It is not easy to buy two acres of land. More people would rather choose a white deed. However, for large transactions, it is quite unsafe to choose a white deed. This transaction is private and the government will not file it.
"I asked your second brother to take a box of red date cakes and a strip of meat to Li Zheng's house at noon, and finally settled the matter. After seeing these things, Li Zheng didn't even mention the five taels of silver.
.Hmph! He has gained so much benefit from being an upright person, inside and out. Your uncle was the loser because he was not willing to give gifts. Before he became an upright person, he gave them to others. After he became an upright person, others gave them to him. Your uncle
He still doesn't know how to work!" Father Gu thought about the election of Li Zheng and sighed for his eldest brother. Otherwise, if the eldest brother became Li Zheng, he, the younger brother, would always get some glory.
After Dad Gu finished lamenting Uncle Gu's past, he suddenly remembered that today was the county examination. Uncle Gu and Gu Wanhua packed their things and went to the county town yesterday, where they found an inn to stay.
"Tomorrow is the county exam. I don't know if Brother Hua can pass the exam. If he can really pass the exam, our family will have many talented people, and the Gu family will be proud of it."
"Dad! Brother Hua is sure that Master will agree to let you take the exam. Let's wait for the good news!" Even so, Gu Chengyu decided to go to the private school tomorrow to inquire about it. In the past two days, he has
I forgot to ask about the county examination.
"Dad! You can pick the honeysuckle now, right? Let's go pick it today! We can also make money as soon as possible."
"I'll go pick it after dinner today. I've also found the builders who built the house, but I'm afraid we won't be able to build that many tile-roofed houses. We'll build the main house, the east wing, and two west wing rooms first.
, I’ll build another study room for you, let’s talk about the rest later!” Father Gu wanted to build these few rooms first, and when the baby gets older, he would add them one by one.
"Dad! I already have a plan to build a house. Let's get up early tomorrow. I want to go to a restaurant in the town and sell some recipes." Gu Chengyu told Dad Gu about his plan.
"What? Cai Fangzi? Did that god tell you again?" Father Gu looked around and saw no one, so he asked in a low voice.
"Dad! I don't know if this thing will work out yet! Don't tell your family yet. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I don't know if any restaurants are willing to order the recipes. I don't know what dishes are available in the restaurants." Gu Chengyu
He is a little unsure about selling recipes. What he eats every day at Gu's house is wowo and green vegetables. He rarely even eats meat. Even if he eats it once, it is cooked with Chinese cabbage. He doesn't know the dishes in Dayan Chao Restaurant.
How does it taste?
"Dad knows, just don't tell your family yet."
The two of them just said this all the way back home.
The oxcart drove all the way to the door of Gu's courtyard. As soon as Gu Chengyu got off the oxcart, she saw Mrs. Huang from the Zhang family next door. She opened the courtyard door a crack and looked outside. Seeing Gu Chengyu looking towards her, she also
Not embarrassed, he opened the door wide and came out of the yard.
"Oh! It's Xiaobao! But he came back from school in the town? Tsk tsk! You can tell he's a human right away! Look at these clothes! You Gu family are really crazy! I heard that they are still in Xialing Village today.
Did you buy a field? Fifty-five acres of it!" Mr. Huang walked towards Gu Chengyu while rubbing his hands and clicking his tongue.
"Third uncle of the Gu family, when I asked you, I said that I only got a few dozen taels of silver from selling ginseng. How could I sell it for fifty-five acres of land? It seems that ginseng is worth a lot of money, right?" Mr. Huang looked up with concern.
, looked at Mr. Gu and asked, but in his heart he was absolutely sure that the ginseng dug by the Gu family must be worth more than a few dozen taels of silver. Otherwise, where did the money to buy the field come from?
Father Gu frowned when he heard what Huang said. When he followed the government officials to measure the land in the afternoon, two people from Xialing Village were watching the excitement. The people from Xialing Village knew that Mr. Qin's family was going to sell the land.
Yes, when they saw someone coming to measure the land this time, they knew that the land must have been sold. They also wanted to see who was so generous and could afford so much land at once. This news must come from Xialing Village.
People spread the news, but in the future, when they go to the village to farm, the people in the village will always know this, and they can't hide it.
People in Xialing Village recognized him at a glance. Isn’t this the father-in-law of Wang Quanshou’s family in Xialing Village?
This has stirred up a hornet's nest. Everyone in Wang Quanshou's wife's family knows everything. Now that the Gu family has bought so much land, I still don't know where they got rich! Of course, there are also those who are well-informed.
Yes, I have long heard that the Gu family dug ginseng in the mountains a few days ago and sold it for a little money, but who knew they would sell it for such a money?
So the news spread in Xialing Village. The news spread rapidly and had already spread to several surrounding villages. This was something that Gu Chengyu would know when he returned home later. Even Lu, who stayed at home, already knew
, there are still more outrageous things to come!
"My nephew-in-law of the Zhang family, where did you hear about this? In fact, it didn't sell for much. We just bought a field." Dad Gu actually couldn't bear to talk to her anymore, but he was stopped in the yard.
The bullock cart can't get in at the gate!
"Ouch! Third uncle of the Gu family, please don't deceive me. This has spread to several villages around here! You Gu family have a lot of money! If you don't listen to the Li Zheng family, your family will buy over there.
Are you going to build a house in the yard?" Mrs. Huang curled her lips and refused to say anything. Now it has been spread everywhere, who are you trying to deceive? Who can come to his house to steal money?
Daddy Gu choked her up, and simply stopped talking nonsense with her, and drove the bullock cart directly, regardless of whether Huang was still blocking the courtyard gate, and started to go in. When Huang saw Daddy Gu, he rushed in
The bullock cart was about to enter, but I was afraid of being hit, so I had to step aside.
Gu Chengyu touched his book bag helplessly. This was good, it was causing a fuss, so he had to pay attention to the safety of his home and don't let thieves get in.
When Gu Chengyu entered the main room, he happened to hear his mother talking to third brother, fourth brother, and Gu Wan in the main room.
"Don't go out these days. The news that our family has money is spreading everywhere. If you go out and people ask you about the money, you will definitely tell me. Anyway, you will give it to me."
I just stay in the house and I'm not allowed to go anywhere!" Ms. Lu was also worried that the children were not strict with their words, fearing that they would show off after hearing a few questions from others.
"Mom! The outside world knows it anyway. Even if we don't tell them, they know it too! Why don't we let them out?" Gu Wan was a little unhappy. She just met Lin Liu'er from Li Zheng's family today. Who wants to look at her nostrils normally?
Lin Liu'er, who was so cute, actually took the initiative to come forward and talk to her with a smile! However, she just ignored her. She didn't want to get close to her when she saw that her family had money, but she was not that stupid.
