Gu Chengyu took a closer look at the old lady, and saw that she was wearing a brown-colored coarse cloth with a collar and a belt around her waist. She was about forty years old, with a long face and wrinkles with the word "Sichuan" between her eyebrows. She seemed to be a rigorous person.
The woman's salutes are in place and she seems to be very fluent. She must have been the wife of an official family in the past. Ordinary merchants can't teach her to understand such rules.
This mother-in-law can be kept around and reused. His family is a farmer and there are so many nieces in the family. If the family has more business in the future, it will definitely need a mother-in-law who understands the rules.
"Everyone, get up! What was your last name?"
The mother-in-law knew that she was being asked, so she stood up politely, looking only at the ground in front of her, and replied respectfully: "My original master's surname was Yan, and I was given the surname Yan, and my husband's surname was Liang. Now I have taken the surname of my master."
, please also give the master a new name."
Gu Chengyu thought about it for a while and felt that it was not appropriate to use her original surname, but her husband's surname could be used instead.
"Then you should take your husband's surname! Let's call you Mama Liang! It's just your husband's family." Since Gu Chengyu planned to take her back home, he had to find out more about her original affairs.
"The master of the slave has passed away, and he has no children. Only the slave is left." When Mother Liang said this, she must have thought of sad things, and her words were a little choked. At the same time, she was also uneasy in her heart. She could see that these children
They are all living here temporarily. She is afraid that she has taught them the rules. If these children are gone, then she will be useless. The little master in front of her seems to have a good idea, and she doesn't know if she can keep her.
"Oh! That's a poor man! From now on, just work at my place with peace of mind."
I don’t know if what Mother Liang said is true or not. There are so many dirty things in rich families. Who knows how her husband and children died? Or maybe they didn’t die at all? However, this does not prevent him from using her.
Well, as for whether he would get into trouble in the future, that would be a matter for later. He didn't want to worry about things unfounded.
"Manager Yu!" Gu Chengyu signaled Paralyzed Yu to get down to business. In front of outsiders, he still saved some face for Paralyzed Yu and did not call him by his first name.
This time Gu Chengyu chose two boys among the twenty children. These two were to be his young servants in the future, that is, his personal attendants. This selection was very important. He chose the two most clever and skilled in martial arts.
They both have good names, and their names are Ding Qi and Ding Shisan. The two of them also learned internal strength. The other two older ones were chosen to learn from Yu Paralyzed. The rest of the children have not been arranged for the time being. It is not the time yet, but
, he had already roughly understood their progress, and he also paid attention to a few of them who were particularly serious about their work. As for Ding Yi, he followed beside Yu Paralyzed.
He has not taken away the two boys he chose for the time being. He will have to wait until he is admitted as a scholar. The Gu family is living a prosperous life now, and maids and boys will have to buy these things sooner or later. The boys are also necessary, because some
If he can't do something, he has to send his subordinates to do it. Anyway, when the time comes, he can just choose the person he bought.
Gu Chengyu followed Yu Pengzi into the main room and looked around. Although there were no expensive furnishings, the room was clean and tidy, and the decoration was not empty. On the contrary, it looked grand.
"You are good at decorating a house. This house is not bad compared to a big family's house!" Gu Chengyu glanced at Paralyzed Yu, but he didn't expect that Paralyzed Yu had some taste.
"I didn't arrange this! This was arranged by the mute grandma, what? Doesn't it look good?" Seeing that Gu Chengyu didn't show any dissatisfaction with the mute grandma, Yu Pengzi thought that Gu Chengyu was also satisfied with the mute grandma. In fact, he also looked at it at the beginning.
The mute mother-in-law was pitiful. She reminded him of his old mother, and he was afraid that Gu Chengyu would be dissatisfied. After all, being mute and unable to speak was always inconvenient.
Gu Chengyu turned around and looked at a picture of pines and cypresses on the wall, with a poem on the side. This picture may have been drawn by a beginner, who was weak in writing and didn't even grasp the shape well, but the poem had some artistic conception.
"This painting was also hung by the mute grandma?"
"Yes! She pointed at the poem and insisted on hanging it up. She even made some comments about it, maybe because she thought it looked good. The person who originally rented this yard didn't want this painting. At that time, it was thrown on the kangqin in the back room. I thought about throwing it away.
It’s a pity, it’s better to hang it up.”
"Did you just say that the mute grandma can't read? This painting is just average. Since the original owner didn't want to take it away, it must not be a good painting. The only redeeming feature of this painting is this poem. The mute grandma can't read. She pointed
What's a poem for? Why would she want to hang this?"
Gu Chengyu can also understand. After all, it is just a good poem. When moving, the luggage must be full, so it is natural for this painting to be abandoned. He does not believe that an illiterate old woman can have any appreciation ability. How can she appreciate it?
This painting? Or did she think of hanging it because she thought the poem was well written?
"Is this? Could it be that she thought it was a pity to lose it?" Paralyzed Yu asked Gu Chengyu, causing some sweat to break out on his forehead. He also thought that if the mute mother-in-law was literate, why would she lie?
"We are just a small family now, and we have nothing to do with anyone. We are just afraid that if we accept such a person, we will cause trouble in the future. You should pay more attention to this mute mother-in-law. In the future, you still need to think more carefully.
, don’t be reckless. You have to go out for me and come into contact with many people. If a simple person like you is eaten by others, not even the bones will be left. Hmph!"
Gu Chengyu also wanted to make Yu Panzi be more vigilant. He didn't have anyone he could use right now. If he wanted to buy someone, he wouldn't be able to buy anyone for a while. Anyway, Yu Panzi had been working for him for two years, and it was pretty smooth, but
He now plans to start buying private property. He is afraid that the paralytic Yu can handle small things but will suffer losses when big things happen. The reason is that it is too easy to deceive.
"That's true! I'll definitely pay attention to it in the future!" Paralyzed Yu also began to face this problem. He didn't ask anything at the time and just bought the person. Now he is considered a manager when he goes out, and he can no longer be arbitrary in the future.
Act recklessly.
His mother had told him a few days ago that he should work well with his current master and not make any decisions on his own. He should ask his master more. Isn’t it his own decision to buy a mute mother-in-law? Gu Chengyu originally told him to buy a strong mother-in-law.
Bring your son back, wash and cook first, and then take him back home to do some menial work.
"Don't worry! As long as you do your job well, I won't treat you badly. If you still want to work by my side after taking the antidote after five years, I will naturally keep you. I'm afraid your monthly salary will be early
It’s just gone up, isn’t it better than going back and digging in the fields for food?”
A slap in the face and a sweet date are a common method used by superiors. Gu Chengyu has already treated Yu Paraman as a subordinate.
Seeing that Gu Chengyu was still willing to use him after the five-year period expired, Yu Pengzi thought that he would not find a way out when he returned, so he might as well work with Gu Chengyu. Besides, if he got the antidote, he would no longer have to worry about it, so he might as well stay. In his heart,
Once I had an idea, I became more and more respectful to Gu Chengyu. After all, I would follow Gu Chengyu from now on.
