Chapter three hundred and seventy fifth happy event
If you want to ask how Father Gu knew about it, it was because shopkeeper Liu of the Huichun Hall in the county told the fourth child. The fourth child often went to the Huichun Hall to buy medicinal materials. Shopkeeper Liu’s wife’s natal nephew was in Erlang’s private school. In fact, there is no way in this world.
Airtight walls?
When Father Gu found out, he quickly took a carriage and went to Erlang's private school. He called Erlang out, scolded him and asked him how many benefits he had received. Erlang refused to tell him at first.
Erlang was dragged away by Mr. Gu and went to the house Erlang bought in the county. In the house, he found more than two thousand taels of silver and some expensive jewelry and ornaments, which made Mr. Gu very angry.
The second house's expenses for the year are not as much as the second house's before. Last year's soap dividends only filled up the holes in the Yang family's life. There was still some money left to live on. How could Erlang save so much money? He still forced Erlang later.
If you don't pay back all the money, go to the county government to sue him.
Erlang has received so many benefits, who knows what promises he has made to others? He is not a fool, and he can agree to him without any benefits? But he asked Erlang, but Erlang refused to tell him, and he even hit Erlang for it.
Erlang hated him for this.
Finally, he took Erlang to the two families who gave the gifts, gave them things of equal value, and apologized to them. They were quite generous and did not blame them. Fortunately, this matter was discovered early, otherwise Erlang would definitely
To cause trouble.
Shopkeeper Liu said that if Xiaobao wants to be an official in the future, if someone takes advantage of him, he will either let Xiaobao do things for others, or he will be given a book by ginseng. They, the Gu clan, cannot help Xiaobao.
But you must not cause any trouble to the little baby.
However, he didn't tell Madam Lu about this matter. He said that Madame Lu couldn't think of a good way and might get angry in a hurry. Once it was solved, there would be no need to talk about it.
The Gu clan members hurried to the Gu family and found that there was no one in the Gu family's yard. He walked into the yard and then heard Father Gu's voice coming from the house.
"Brother Gu San, hurry up! There is a big event happening in your family! Come out quickly to greet the official." He started shouting in the yard, and then ran to the main house.
While Mr. Gu was thinking about what happened before, Mrs. Lu looked at the embroidered quilt on the kang and became angry and stopped talking. Suddenly, the voice of Li Si from the village came from the yard. When Mr. Gu heard it, he said it was a happy event.
What a happy event? Dad Gu was a little confused.
Mrs. Lu was also attracted by the shout. What happy event could happen to her family? Could it be that Xiaobao was back? She quickly got off the kang, pulled on her shoes, and was about to go to the yard.
Li Si didn't care that Mrs. Lu was still in the house. When he entered the house and saw Father Gu, he pulled Father Gu and walked out.
"Come on, those officials are here, and the battle is bigger than last time! The county magistrate didn't come last time, and now we see a man in official uniform who looks like a new county magistrate."
"What?" Father Gu became excited when he heard this. He looked at the clothes he was wearing and saw that they were the cotton clothes he usually wore around him. He turned around and wanted to change into another one.
"I have to change my clothes. These clothes are not suitable for meeting the magistrate!"
While the two were talking, they heard the sound of gongs and drums coming closer, and they vaguely heard someone shouting, "Gu Chengyu is hit!"
The sound was muffled by the sound of gongs and drums, making it unreal. When Dad Gu heard it, wasn't this similar to what he said last time? Could it be that Xiaobao has been admitted to the Jinshi?
"Hey? Brother Gu San, what are you doing? They are almost at the door, why are you changing your clothes? That's it! Sister Gu San, hurry up." Li Si was still thinking about Father Gu.
I was a little speechless while changing my clothes, so I quickly urged.
Can the county magistrate be so careless? It would be proper to go out and greet him as soon as possible.
After being urged like this, Mr. Gu stopped changing his clothes. The mute mother-in-law heard the noise in her room and quickly entered the main room. She licked Madam Lu's hair and straightened her clothes.
The two of them went out to greet the county magistrate.
The county magistrate would not let go of such a good opportunity to protect his reputation. After asking a few questions about the crops in the fields of the villagers, he followed the lead of his third uncle and the messenger to the gate of Gujiayuan. Everyone in the village followed.
Behind the county magistrate, he was preparing to join in the fun at Gu's house.
"What do you mean? He won the first prize? The fifth son of the Gu family won the first prize? Ouch! That's amazing!"
"Isn't this the number one scholar? I heard it really true." Aunt Wang also came to join in the fun. When she heard the gongs and drums playing, the first thing she thought of was that the Gu family had another happy event. Sure enough, it was the Gu family's little treasure.
The top pick!
She looked at the county magistrate in front of her and was very envious. The Gu family had been burning incest for many lifetimes. How could this little treasure be so promising?
As soon as Mr. Gu and Mrs. Lu came out of the yard, they saw some older people gathered in front of his house. The leaders were all wearing official uniforms and holding official documents in their hands.
Isn't the person wearing the green robe and the embroidered Xi imperial robe the county magistrate? Father Gu had met Lu Zhixian before, and the magistrate Lu was wearing these clothes at that time, so Father Gu was absolutely certain that this was the new county magistrate.
He quickly pulled Ms. Lu to kneel down in front of the county magistrate and the others, "Gu Changqing, a common man, has met the county magistrate!"
"A common woman has met the county magistrate!"
When Li Zhixian saw him, he hurriedly took three steps at a time and stepped forward to help the two people who were already kneeling halfway. These were the parents of the number one scholar, and now Gu Chengyu was a sixth-rank official and was still serving in the Hanlin Academy in the capital.
, much better than him, a seventh-level magistrate with no foundation.
In less than two years, maybe Gu Chengyu's mother will be able to ask for an imperial edict. By then, this woman will be of a higher rank than the county magistrate. How can he make these two people kneel down? That's not like beating the number one scholar.
face?
"You two, please don't be too polite. I have come with the messenger from the capital to announce the good news to the Gu family. Let's invite the messenger in first." Li Zhixian saw that this was not appropriate outside the gate, so he reminded Mr. Gu that they should go into the courtyard first.
Say it again.
"Hey! Thank you so much, Mr. County Lord! Thank you so much, all the officials, for your hard work. You have come all the way from the capital, and it has been a long and tiring journey. Come in and have a cup of tea."
After all, Father Gu had seen the world, and he spoke eloquently about the situation. Knowing that such a big happy event would definitely give the two messengers a big red envelope, he winked at Ms. Lu beside him.
Of course Ms. Lu had seen this before, and the mute grandma knew all this very well. She quickly turned around and looked at the mute grandma. Now she no longer has the money in her hands, and the mute grandma is taking care of it for her!
The mute old woman climbed up from the ground with the two girls behind her, turned around and entered the house to get the red seal.
"I'm not busy, I'm not busy. Let's finish the business first." The messenger first entered Jingyuan Mansion and then went to the county government office non-stop. In fact, he was exhausted.
However, it’s not too late to take a rest after the main business is done.
Uncle Gu received the news and hurried to the Gu family's house. He found that the county magistrate and the messenger had arrived at the Gu family's yard. Panting, he arranged his clothes, squeezed through the crowd, and stepped into the yard.
He is the patriarch of the Gu family. There are many rules that Changqing doesn't understand, so he has to take care of them.
