Gu Chengyu saw that Jiang Yazi refused to reveal his master's family, so he stopped asking. These Yazi have been walking around in wealthy families all year round, so they must be tight-lipped. Otherwise, who would do business with him?
However, when he said this, Gu Chengyu understood. The hot spring village would definitely not have to worry about selling it, and the family could certainly afford two villages.
It's just that the owner didn't want his acquaintances to know about it, and he didn't dare to announce it even if he wanted to sell it, so he gave Gu Chengyu an advantage. After all, being able to take out nearly 20,000 taels at once was something that most people couldn't do.
"If that's the case, I'm going to give you seven hundred taels of silver. I keep my word and will never break my promise. Let's go to the Yamen to apply for the red deed." Of course he wanted the red deed to have Gu Chengyu's signature and fingerprints on it.
Arrived.
Merchants in ancient times were not allowed to take imperial examinations to serve as officials, but they were still allowed to buy fields and houses. As for the shops, Gu Chengyu only bought them, and he was not the owner on the surface, but used another household registration.
Many officials in the Dayan Dynasty did this. Otherwise, with just such a small salary, wouldn't the whole family starve to death? Some of them were included in the dowry of the mistress, and some were in the names of the people in the house.
Of course, such a servant must be expelled from slavery.
Gu Chengyu did not have these conditions, and his servants had no trust, so he could only use this method. In fact, officials are not stupid, and others can naturally think of this method, but applying for such a household registration will allow others to take advantage of the loopholes. If the household registration and land deeds are
If it's lost, it's gone.
Gu Chengyu doesn't need to be afraid, he can be placed in the space.
After completing the red deed, Gu Chengyu and the others boarded the ship.
"Senior Brother Ye, please take the pills first, otherwise you will suffer from seasickness again!" Gu Chengyu gave Ye Zhiqiu another bottle of the pills he made and asked him to take it quickly.
The boat has sailed now, and there is a bit of wind on the river today. When I first got on the boat, I was still not used to it, and it felt very rocky.
After that, Gu Chengyu returned to the room and mentally planned for Gu Wan to get married. If he came to the capital, the furniture could not be transported back to the village. He could only go to Fucheng, secretly put the furniture into the space, and then pick it up when he arrived in the capital.
When he came out, he said it was custom-made in Beijing. Anyway, he didn't tell his family before.
Speaking of furniture, because he didn’t know the size of the Sun family’s new house, Gu Chengyu only made some armchairs, a step-down bed, and a beauty couch. In addition, he made a desk in the study, but he didn’t make a bookshelf. This required measuring.
.The Batu bed is not very big and can fit in an average room.
His second sister was very kind to him. After he traveled here, he was the closest to his second sister besides his parents. Although Gu Wan was a little petty, her concern for him was not fake. Women from the Dayan Dynasty could only rely on
Man, it is normal for his second sister to want to rely on his younger brother.
The eldest brother is much older than him. He has always regarded him as a son. The eldest brother is also dull and not good at expressing himself. Needless to say, he dislikes him in every way. As for the third brother and the fourth brother, although they are the same
Mother and brother, but we are all boys, so our emotions are naturally not so full. And now that we are married and have a family, how can we still think of him as a younger brother?
Gu Chengyu thought about Father Gu and the others again. After Gu Wan got married, the two elders became a little deserted. He wanted to go to school in the capital, so he wanted to take the two of them to Beijing together, but he knew that Father Gu would definitely not be willing.
of.
First, it is difficult to leave his hometown, and second, there are other brothers in the family. It is definitely impossible for him to follow him to Beijing. He can only wait until later to make plans. The successful results of the provincial examination will definitely arrive in the county in a few days. Maybe they can still go back.
catch up.
Life on the ship was difficult, not to mention not being able to move around freely, and wandering around always made me feel less down to earth!
After living like this, Gu Chengyu felt that the room was stuffy and decided to go out at night to enjoy the river breeze.
The Jingyuan River was very large. Gu Chengyu took a look around and found that they were the only boat within sight. It seemed that the boat yesterday had stopped at the previous dock. It was also a passenger boat, and Gu Chengyu
The ship they were in was about the same size.
Gu Chengyu sat on the deck, feeling the river breeze. After blowing for a while, he felt a little cold, so he got up and planned to go back.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he found a black spot on the right front. He could see at night, so this spot came a bit suddenly. After all, he had not seen it before. However, he did not pay attention and thought it was the same ship as them.
But at this time, his attention was attracted by this boat. Logically speaking, boats would not sail very fast at night. Although there were lanterns and torches on the boat, it was not easy to identify the direction of the boat at night.
However, the boat turned out to be moving very fast, and it was still heading towards them. In just a short time, the boat was much closer to them. Gu Chengyu could now see that it was a smaller boat than them, with a
There was a flag hanging, but it was too far away and Gu Chengyu couldn't see it clearly.
He sensed that something was wrong. It was so late, how could there be a ship moving forward rapidly? And it was heading towards them, which seemed quite menacing.
After observing for a while, he found that there were many torches on the deck of the ship. Although it was far away, he could still distinguish them clearly. Then he thought of a possibility, damn it! He was really afraid of something!
Gu Chengyu immediately turned around and ran towards the boat boss. As he ran, he lowered his voice and shouted: "Hurry up and call someone, there are river bandits coming!"
He couldn't care less about other people's thoughts at this time. The problem of his night vision seemed insignificant at the moment. Of course, he had to seize the time to prepare. He knew that there must be many archers and thugs on such a ship.
Even the boatmen are armed with force, which is a must for a big ship on the river. But it was so late at night that I didn't know if I had time to prepare.
The boat boss thought this little kid was really whimsical. He looked around and saw where there were any ships. Besides, they had a plan every year, so how could there be an attack by river bandits?
Gu Chengyu also knew that the ship boss would definitely not believe what a little kid said. He was very anxious, but he was not afraid. The truly valuable things were all in the space. Ming Mo and the others also had martial arts. If they took Sun Xian and the others with them, they would be able to protect themselves.
His current martial arts skills are about the same as those of martial arts masters, and he is still far away from flying flowers and picking leaves! It will take a few more years of training. Facing the extremely vicious Jiang bandits who want wealth rather than life, even he has to use twelve
Fight with all your energy.
There were at least four to five hundred people on this boat. How could they all escape? Besides, there was nowhere to escape on this river. It was impossible for him to watch so many people die. What's more, without a boat, he
Can't reach land either.
"I have good eyesight. There is a boat approaching us on the right. Anyway, believe me. I am Jieyuan who won the provincial examination this year. How could I lie to you?"
