Then he thought about Gu Changqing and the others in Shangling Village. Could it be that the eldest brother and the third brother had already made a fortune? Otherwise, why could Gu Chengyu afford such a big house and see that Gu Chengyu lived in fine clothing and food? If he was from Shangling Village
Life is not good, so where does this money come from?
It can also be seen that Gu Chengyu has a good upbringing and does not look like a farmer at all. If he had known that life in Shangling Village would be better, he should have taken his second son and grandchildren back to his hometown earlier, and there would be no need to deal with it in the future.
Nanfu lived a life without enough food.
Although Yingnan Mansion is rich, it means that there are more wealthy families. People like them cannot afford to buy land and live in poverty.
The paddy fields in Yingnan Mansion are more expensive than the fields in Beidi, costing ten taels of silver per acre. His family originally saved ten acres, but then the eldest son died and the second son divided the family. The eldest grandson wanted to study, so he transferred the fields to
Three acres were sold, and only two acres were left.
When I return to my hometown, my elder brother and the others will help me, and my life will always be easier than in Yingnan Mansion.
Gu Changbai glanced at his eldest grandson and saw that he was frowning, knowing that he was also worried in his heart.
"Your little brother is fine. He has been taken into a good life by a wealthy family. He will come back after a while. Don't think too much about it. As for my nephew, he has become a high official now. The house sees
You are very rich and noble, so you just need to settle down and study."
Speaking of his little grandson, Gu Changbai sighed deeply. If the Gu family has a descendant like Gu Chengyu, there is smoke rising from the ancestral grave. But the mysterious man seems to want to target Gu Chengyu. He is not stupid, of course he can guess it.
.Since my nephew is an official, that person must be from the officialdom. Will it be detrimental to my nephew?
Although he has only been given one order now, which is to live in the Gu Mansion first, and other tasks will be informed to him later. But this makes him even more worried. He can't explain things in the officialdom, and if it happens, he will be bad.
The nephew's incident caused him to lose his official position or his life. Didn't the Gu family lose their support?
Will he become the sinner of the entire clan? Moreover, he has heard that if an official commits a crime, and if it is more serious, he will confiscate his home and exterminate the nine clans. He is Gu Chengyu's second uncle, so he will definitely not be able to escape.
In the past few days, he had been tossing and turning at night and couldn't sleep, just thinking about these things. But if he didn't do this, Xiaoyao wouldn't be able to go home.
The man had promised that he would satisfy his master with his work. Not only would nothing happen to Xiao Yao, but his future prospects would not be worse. He was extremely hesitant. So he lingered in front of the Gu Mansion for several days.
I just made up my mind yesterday.
"Don't worry about the money. I will find a way. In a few days, when your cousin confirms our identities, I will bring you to your cousin and ask him to recommend a school for you to study in."
Gu Changbai comforted Gu Wanfang again, then got up and prepared to go back to the room.
Gu Changbai didn't know that Gu Chengyu was suspicious of him. After all, he came here to find his eldest granddaughter, and the flower girl was really arrested.
Everything was traceable, and when he came out, his grandson was reported dead. As long as he and his family kept it secret, Gu Chengyu couldn't find anything.
Gu Wanfang looked at her grandfather who had walked out of the room, and her worries became more intense. He seemed to be worried a lot these days. He didn't believe what he said at all. Why would a wealthy family pick up his younger brother? This is very strange.
.
It is impossible to say that he passed it on to someone else. He has seen my love for Xiaoyao. After his father died, only he and his younger brother were left to inherit the family. I would not let him go. He had done it before.
Rich people have wanted to take over, but I have always rejected them. There is no reason why I would agree this time.
Gu Wanfang looked at the furnishings in the room. This room was better than the previous inn room. But this was given to him by his cousin whom he had never met before. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. The uncle must have thought that they were here to catch the autumn wind.
Yes.
But judging from the current situation, aren't they just here to catch the autumn wind? He smiled mockingly to himself. He didn't know what kind of person his uncle was. I heard that he was still very young!
Gu Chengyu invited the three of them to have lunch and read books on the first floor of Wenhua Pavilion. Anyway, he returned to the office today and had nothing to do. The palace had a rich collection of books, so he could read to pass the time.
"Ouch! Jinyu, do you still have time to read here? Come on, follow me."
Gu Chengyu was reading with great interest a book about the customs and customs of the previous dynasty, when suddenly Ren Ge's voice sounded in his ears. He was still a little confused, why did Ren Ge appear in Wenhua Pavilion?
As soon as Ren Ge entered the Wenhua Pavilion, he saw Gu Chengyu sitting on a stool and reading the books in his hands, and he was reading with gusto!
He hurried forward, grabbed Gu Chengyu, and ran out. After Gu Chengyu was grabbed, his face was confused. What was going on?
"Master Ren, what are you doing? What happened?" Gu Chengyu was a little confused. As soon as Ren Ge came in, he didn't say what happened, but just pulled him and ran out.
"Hey? You two adults, the books in Wenhua Pavilion can only be browsed in Wenhua Pavilion, but they cannot be taken out of Wenhua Pavilion!" Gan Dianji hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously to the two of them.
All the books in Wenhua Pavilion were registered, and if one book was missing, he would be unable to eat without carrying it around.
"Oh! Sorry, give the book back to you!" After listening to Gan Dianji's words, Ren Ge hurriedly took out the book from Gu Chengyu's hand and handed it to Gan Dianji who was standing aside.
"Sir Ren, why are you so anxious?" Gu Chengyu followed Ren Ge to his office. During the process, he pulled open his sleeves. He was really surprised by Ren Ge who was so gloomy.
"You should walk faster. The emperor wants to summon you. Eunuch Quan is already waiting for Mr. Zhang." Ren Ge turned around and said to Gu Chengyu, his words full of envy.
Gu Chengyu didn't expect that the emperor would summon him. After all, he was still thinking about how to make the emperor think of him.
"Did you tell me why you were summoned?" Gu Chengyu was not knocked unconscious by the pie. The emperor suddenly summoned him. I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Eunuch Quan didn't say it, and it's not easy for us to inquire, right? Let's go quickly! Don't keep the emperor waiting!" Gu Chengyu has not done any serious errands yet, so the emperor probably did not summon him to provoke him. Gu Chengyu's literary talent is good, maybe he is.
It was for this reason that I was summoned.
Ren Ge had analyzed it in his mind before he came, and the only reason he could think of was this. The emperor had some impression of Gu Chengyu before, and after so many days, he had not forgotten him. It was impossible to say that Gu Chengyu would be favored by the Holy Family.
He had spent the money to report the letter and come to do the work in person. If he didn't sell favors now, how could he still remember his goodness when Gu Chengyu got the Holy Family? It seems that he would have to be more enthusiastic towards Gu Chengyu in the future.
.
Gu Chengyu didn't know about Xiao Jiujiu in Ren Ge's heart. He was thinking about how to deal with the emperor when he saw him later. After all, it was a separate summons.
