When Gu Wan heard this, she became a little anxious. What Brother Xian heard from his classmates was actually true. She also knew that Xiaobao was not young and could not resist the temptation of going to a brothel. When he saw those beautiful girls, he would not be able to bear it.
live.
But she was a woman from a brothel after all. Xiaobao brought such a woman back before he was married. How would his future siblings deal with them?
She's not married yet! It's not okay to cause trouble for her future sister-in-law. What's more, Xiaobao is still young. If Xiaobao is won over by that woman and becomes indifferent to the main wife, isn't that going to cause unrest in the family?
What's more, if you fall in love for a long time and want to marry that woman, how can you hold your head high in front of your colleagues when you become an official?
"Xiaobao! That girl, do you like her?" She thought that what Gu Chengyu just said was to deal with her, so she decided to persuade her.
Gu Chengyu couldn't laugh or cry, "Second sister, why don't you believe what I said? If I say it's not what you think, it definitely isn't. Don't you know what my temper is? If it is true, I will definitely not hide it. Then
The girl is also a miserable person, and she is destined to be with me, so don’t worry! I will send her away in a few days."
Gu Chengyu made a promise to Gu Wan, and Gu Wan couldn't hold on to her any longer. Besides, she was afraid that if she said too much, Xiaobao would really get interested.
However, she made up her mind that she would come to Gu Chengyu's house often to watch in the future. If there was any sign of something going wrong, she would immediately put it out.
Gu Chengyu sat in a carriage, preparing to go to the dock in the western suburbs of the capital. The carriage drove forward slowly and was about to reach the dock.
Gu Chengyu raised the curtain and looked towards the pier. There was a huge crowd in front of him, and the man who resisted the bag kept going back and forth to the pier, shouting "I borrowed it! I borrowed it!"
There were many people in the crowd wearing silk and satin. When they saw the men who were resisting their bags coming, they quickly covered their mouths and noses with a handkerchief and jumped to the side for fear of being bumped into by them. The shopkeeper on the side was busy pointing fingers at the men.
I am afraid that the goods may accidentally fall into the water.
There were others driving carriages like Gu Chengyu and others, waiting for people at the pier. Gu Chengyu had sent people to guard the pier yesterday. He had just received news that the teacher's boat was about to arrive, so he hurriedly hurried
The land came.
The senior brothers are all working in the government office at the moment, so relatively speaking, he has the most leisure time.
It was already spring, and the spring breeze was not cold at all, but rather brought some warmth to the body. Mingmo sat on the shaft of the carriage, facing the river and looking forward to it. Gu Chengyu sat in the car, but felt a little faint.
Drowsy.
I have no choice, I am tired in spring and autumn, and now I have nothing to do. I got up very early in the morning to practice calligraphy, and read for an hour. Now I am really sleepy.
"Eh? Master, look, is that a ship?"
Ming Mo's voice of surprise rang in Gu Chengyu's ears, and Gu Chengyu was instantly awakened from his sleep. He got off the carriage and looked at the moving object on the river. It was indeed a boat, but it was not close to the dock.
It was most likely the teacher's boat. Gu Chengyu adjusted her appearance and stood by the carriage to wait. The speed of the boat was not slow, not to mention the wind and water were smooth, and it would take less than a stick of incense to get back to the dock.
"Huh? Are you the mistress's boss?"
Gu Chengyu stared at the river for a while. Before the ship approached, he became a little bored, so he became interested in the busy people on the pier.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side, and Gu Chengyu looked to the right.
This was an old man, and he looked like an ordinary ordinary man. He was dressed in a crab-shell blue shorts. Although it was made of coarse cloth, there were no patches. However, Gu Chengyu felt that he looked familiar.
If you take a closer look, isn't it the same coachman who was almost cheated at the dock when Gu Chengyu and the others came to the capital three years ago? In the end, he also gained a capable subordinate.
The mistress is now in charge of Yipinzhai for Gu Chengyu. He is very capable and can endure hardships and stand hard work.
He also planned to find some other livelihood and let the mistress practice his skills with the paralyzed Yu.
The old man looked at Gu Chengyu, thinking that the noble man had not remembered him, and he did not expect that he would be remembered. Now the mistress has lived a good life, but she often helps him and the old woman, and often tells him that his boss is a good person.
"So it's the old man? I haven't seen him for three years. Is he still strong?" Gu Chengyu thought of the old man and looked at him carefully.
At this glance, I feel that the old man is much older than he looked three years ago, and there are several wrinkles on his forehead.
The silver hair on his head was mixed with strands of black silk, making his face look even older.
It has only been three years, and my whole person looks a lot more decadent.
Gu Chengyu was a little puzzled. Even if he is older and lives a difficult life, people will age quickly, but is this too fast?
Gu Chengyu thought that maybe there had been a huge change in his family. However, that was everyone else's business, and he couldn't ask too many questions.
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "The little old man's family has undergone a huge change. Now he and his wife are left to depend on each other, and they just muddle along every day."
After saying that, his stooped body bent even more.
Gu Chengyu didn't know what happened to his family, so he could only choose a few words to comfort him.
"Old man, when you are alive, you have to look forward. You have to be open-minded. Life will go on."
As soon as Gu Chengyu finished speaking, the old man suddenly wiped away his tears and said, "I can't look away! How can I look away? My son's family of five are all dead. It's better for me to die alive."
He also couldn't bear to part with his old wife, otherwise he would no longer want to live. The white-haired man gave the black-haired man away, and several members of his family died.
Now that the old lady was seriously ill and she probably didn't have long to live, he waited for the old lady to leave and then left with her.
If his family didn't have enough money to buy medicine for the old woman, he wouldn't even want to drive a car to earn money.
Perhaps because he was extremely sad, the old man had no intention of chatting with Gu Chengyu. He just walked back dejectedly and sat down on a big rock.
Gu Chengyu saw that he was hopeless and couldn't be persuaded. How could others understand the pain of losing a child? What's more, five of them died at one time. I'm afraid even his daughter-in-law and grandson were dead.
I don't know what happened.
The movement on Gu Chengyu's side attracted the attention of other coachmen. These people were waiting for the ship to dock to promote business.
However, I had some free time at the moment, so I started talking about something.
"Alas! This old stubborn man is also a pitiful man. He managed to get his son married and even have grandchildren. I didn't expect that such a catastrophe would lead to the death of all five of them."
"Who says it's not the case? Who could have predicted the natural disaster? It's a pity that none of his grandson and two granddaughters survived. This is going to end in the future!"
