"Madam! This is not a lot of solutions, is it? If they don't go out, they won't get into trouble? We checked his family's details and found that he is a prosperous farmer! I heard that Gu's soap was made by his family. If
His soap has disfigured others, so how can the business survive? Besides, isn't Lu just pointing her son to become an official? If that kid can't even pass the college examination, how can he become an official?
explain?"
Mother Xi smiled and comforted Mrs. Yu. In fact, these methods were too simple. She was used to them in the Yu family before.
"Then mom has thought of any good ideas? Tell me!" Mrs. Yu shook Mom Xi's sleeves eagerly, she could hardly wait!
Gu Chengyu, who was at Gu's house at this time, was also thinking about the Yu family. He thought about it carefully and realized that the shops he bought were all under another household registration. This was obtained by asking Mr. Wang to leave, and he didn't often do so.
When he goes to the shop, no one else knows he owns the shop, so there should be nothing wrong with the shop.
What is left is the fertile farmland at home. There is not much land, but some medicinal materials are grown on it. To be more cautious, he does not plan to sell this year's medicinal materials. Finally, there is the family's soap business. If Yu wants to find a place to start, a
One is the soap business, another is his exams, and the last one is the personal safety of his family.
He felt that he had to talk to his mother and the others, and at least both of them should take precautions.
It was already midnight. Gu Chengyu had dinner, but did not go back to his room immediately. He sat on a stool, picked up a bowl of tea and drank.
"Xiaobao! You should go back and rest early!" Dad Gu took a puff of dry cigarette and saw that Gu Chengyu was still sitting on the stool, so he urged. After running around for the past few days, he thought he must be tired.
.
Gu Chengyu put down the tea bowl, and Gu Wan had just returned to the room. Now was a good time to ask. But he didn't know whether he should ask. If Father Gu didn't know about Lu's affairs back then, and he asked like this, then
Didn't it leave a knot in Dad Gu's heart?
Gu Chengyu thought for a while, then stood up and prepared to go back to the room.
"Xiaobao, do you have something to say?" Zhier Mo Ruomu, if Gu Chengyu is still staying in the room so late, she must have something to say.
Gu Chengyu was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether to ask or not.
"It's okay! I'm going back to my room first!" Let's ask again tomorrow!
"Is there anything else that I can't tell your mother?" Father Gu felt a little puzzled. It was rare for Xiaobao to hesitate like this!
Gu Chengyu was a little helpless. Of course he couldn't say that it wasn't because of your presence. Did he want to ask his mother in front of Mr. Gu? Mother! Do you still remember Jiang Mingyuan in Fucheng back then?
In the end, he couldn't hold it back anymore. In fact, he was really curious, "Mother! The prefect of Chiang Kai-shek in Fucheng?"
Mrs. Lu was sewing a purse for Gu Chengyu, which she brought with her when she went to Fucheng for the exam. "Ouch!" Mrs. Lu felt a little dazed when she heard this.
"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you not to sew at night? Look?" Father Gu felt a little distressed when he saw the blood beads on Lu's fingers.
"Hey? Mom, are you okay?" Gu Chengyu stepped forward, took Lu's hand and looked at it. He didn't know that just by mentioning it like this, his mother got so excited!
Father Gu felt relieved when he saw Gu Chengyu tearing out a piece of cloth from the sewing basket and wrapping it up for Mrs. Lu. However, in a flash he thought about Magistrate Chiang. Could Magistrate Chiang be that person?
Lu's expression was a little dull. She didn't expect that she would hear news about him again after so many years.
"Xiaobao! What do you mean about Governor Jiang?" Mr. Gu glanced at Lu, feeling a little depressed.
"Ah? It's nothing. Magistrate Chiang also invited us to a dinner. He is kind to others and looks gentle and elegant!"
As Gu Chengyu spoke, he paid attention to Father Gu's expression. He saw that his expression was tense at the beginning, and then became ugly in an instant as he praised him. Okay, Gu Chengyu was very sure now, Father Gu
I also know Magistrate Chiang, at least I have heard of him, and I should know something about his mother's events back then.
Gu Chengyu decided not to talk in circles. After all, the prefect's wife was not easy to get along with. He didn't care about it, but he was afraid that they would plot against his parents.
"Mom! In fact, I saw the prefect's wife this time!" Gu Chengyu stared at his mother's face and clearly felt that there were some changes on his mother's face, but he couldn't see what kind of emotion it was.
I'm sure it's not hate.
Lu seemed to have just come back to her senses from her memories, "You want to ask about what happened back then, right?"
Gu Chengyu looked at Mrs. Lu and replied seriously: "Yes! I met the prefect's wife that day, but the prefect's wife seemed to recognize me. She was very hostile to me. I'm afraid she will be detrimental to our family, and we still want to
Take good precautions. It’s just that I don’t know much about what happened back then, and I don’t like to be kept in the dark. I want to know the truth so that I can think of countermeasures.”
In fact, what he didn't say was that his curiosity also played a part.
"Actually, there's nothing that can't be said about that matter." Ms. Lu believed that she was innocent. After so many years, she still said it was okay.
Dad Gu was also a little excited at this time, finally knowing what happened back then. In fact, he had thought of this for so many years, but his mother was indeed a virgin when she married him. Besides, even if Lu
No, he wouldn't dislike her either. Being able to marry her was something he couldn't even imagine at that time.
"Back then, I was sold to a slave by my parents and brother-in-law, and then moved to Fengding Mansion." Lu's long and leisurely voice echoed in the room, and she seemed to have returned to the time when she was sold.
Gu Chengyu and Dad Gu listened attentively, and finally Gu Chengyu summarized the story.
In other words, at that time, the Lu family was sold to Fengding Prefecture. At that time, the governor of Chiang Kai-shek was promoted to the general magistrate of Fengding Prefecture.
The ancestors of the Jiang family were engaged in business, and their family was well off. Jiang Mingyuan worked hard and was admitted to the Jinshi. He was attracted by Yu Zheng, the Minister of Rites in the capital, and became his son-in-law. When the Lu family went to the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Mingyuan had just been promoted to Tongpan.
, but he has been married to Mrs. Yu for six years.
Jiang Mingyuan's mother was not very happy about the Yu family who came into the family, because the Yu family always thought of themselves as a high-ranking family and looked down upon the Jiang family, which was once a family of merchants. Moreover, Yu family had nothing to do after being married for several years, and his character was arrogant and domineering.
, Mother Jiang would certainly not like such a daughter-in-law.
Three years later, Jiang's mother accidentally discovered that the rough servant girl Lu in the courtyard was very good-looking, so she took her with her as a second-class girl and named her Mu Jin. At that time, she planned to wait until she was old enough to marry Jiang Mingyuan.
, if she becomes pregnant in the future, she will be treated as aunt immediately.
Lu was only fourteen years old at that time, and she was still at an age where she was ignorant of these things. Besides, if she entered the Jiang family, she would be a servant of the Chiang family. How could it be her turn to make the decision? Lu could only passively agree.
But when Lu was fifteen years old, Yu refused to allow Jiang Mingyuan to take a concubine. Although Jiang's mother couldn't stand this daughter-in-law, her mother's family was so powerful that she could only endure it. However, Lu was delayed, and Jiang
The mother may have felt that there was still hope, so she did not marry Mr. Lu.
