"Brother Li, what are you talking about? If you hadn't introduced me, my ginseng would definitely not be sold for so much money. I just want to thank you." As he said this, Father Gu took out two 10 taels from his arms.
of silver ingots, "Brother Li, these twenty taels of silver are a thank you gift for you. Don't be too short."
As soon as Gu Chengyu got up, he saw his father going to his mother to take the money, and his mother was muttering and very unhappy. He knew that the money was for Mr. Li, and his father still didn't say anything about human relationships.
Sure enough, there is knowledge in practicing human relations! He didn't expect that, it seems that he still has to learn from his father.
"Brother Gu, put it away quickly. I won't say any polite words. You dug the ginseng and you sold it. I'm just talking. How can I be embarrassed to accept your money?" Mr. Li lamented that Mr. Gu knows how to be a good man, but
He would never accept these twenty taels. Although he moved to Shangling Village and lived a somewhat poor life, he was not a toothsmith and specialized in this business. He could not accept the money. However, he could take the opportunity to propose the matter.
thing.
"Xiaobao's father, please take your money back! I will never accept your money, but don't push it around anymore. If you really want to thank him, why not treat him to a drink?"
When Yao saw that Father Gu wanted to stuff money, he quickly stopped him.
"Put it away quickly!"
Gu Chengyu knew that Mr. Li would never accept money. If he was greedy for money, he would not have stayed in Shangling Village for so many years.
Father Gu had no choice but to put it away, "Then I'll treat you to a drink in two days. You can't refuse."
"Then I'll wait. It's just that I have one more thing, and I would like to ask my brother to consider giving me an answer."
"Brother Li, just tell me if you have any questions. As long as I can help, I will never refuse."
"That's right. You know that I'm just a daughter. I got married a long time ago. We are the only two people left in the house. It's strangely deserted. I think your little baby is smart and sensible. My wife and I like him very much.
I think." Before Li Langzhong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Father Gu.
"This, this is not okay! Xiaobao is the lifeblood of me and his mother, and his mother will not agree. I'm so sorry! Brother Li!" How could Father Gu agree to Gu Chengyu's adoption to Langzhong Li? Before
When the family had no money, he didn't know how to do it. Not to mention that the family is now rich. The thought of Xiaobao going out and calling someone else's father is like trying to dig out his heart. He will never agree, even if this person
Not even Li Langzhong.
"Why did Brother Gu say this? Is it possible that Brother Gu, Li Yuanfeng, doesn't know what I am like? I really want to accept Xiaobao as my disciple. I don't have a son, so I will definitely regard Xiaobao as my own in the future. But Brother Gu has
What is the misunderstanding? Or do you have other arrangements for Xiaobao?" Mr. Li was very confused. Before he finished speaking, Gu Changqing was so excited, which also puzzled him. Could it be that realizing other medical books was not enough for him to be a doctor on his own?
Bao’s master?
"What? Apprentice? I thought it was all a misunderstanding that I wanted to adopt my little baby. Don't be offended, brother." Dad Gu also felt that he was being reckless and had to wait for someone to finish his words!
Gu Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Li Langzhong said. His father was shocked, he really thought that Li Langzhong was going to adopt him!
"This is really a misunderstanding. How could I do so many children? It's just love and I want Xiaobao to inherit my mantle!" Seeing that the misunderstanding was solved, Mr. Li thought that Gu Changqing would agree, but who knew what happened?
And it was not what he expected.
"Oh! Originally, it was his good fortune that I could take a fancy to Xiaobao, but his mother and I decided to give him away yesterday! I'm really sorry, but Xiaobao doesn't have that luck." Dad Gu
I also feel a little regretful, but what has been decided will not change again. Mrs. Lu will not agree to Xiaobao studying medicine.
Gu Chengyu suddenly realized, no wonder he thought Yao's eyes were so weird! No matter how lovable he was, his loving eyes were obviously looking at his children. Unfortunately, he was afraid he would disappoint them.
When Li Langzhong heard this, he looked at Yao shi, and Yao shi really guessed that the Gu family had other plans. Why didn't he think of it?
Mrs. Yao on the side was also very sorry. She also loved Xiaobao very much and had known for a long time that this matter would not work out. However, she also liked this child, but she was a little regretful that they did not have such a fate.
"No, no, everything is inferior but only high. It's a good thing that you have such ambitions. Xiaobao has a good memory, can sit still, and knows how to draw inferences from one instance. He is a good prospect. I really like Xiaobao, so I can't stop him.
His path is because we don’t have a master-disciple relationship. If you have time in the future, just come to my house to play. If there is something you don’t understand, just come and ask me. Although I have never passed the exam, I have studied for several years.
I can still read the books and the characters." When Li Langzhong heard that Xiaobao was going, he was very pleased. After all, taking the imperial examination is the right way.
"Xiaobao, you have to be good in the future and don't let down your father's expectations for you!" Li Langzhong looked at Gu Chengyu and warned him seriously.
Gu Chengyu didn't expect that Langzhong Li wanted to accept him as his apprentice, but he had other interests in Langzhong Li!
"Uncle Li, I know that this opportunity is hard to come by. I will definitely cherish it and cannot let my father and my mother down. However, it is also an honor for me to be valued by Uncle Li. It's just a pity that I have promised my mother that I will
Went." Gu Chengyu originally wanted to recommend the fourth brother, but then he thought that the fourth brother might prefer the imperial examination? He still had to go back and ask the fourth brother about this matter. The fourth brother was delicate and not talkative. He felt that he
Fourth brother is quite suitable to be a doctor, but he still needs his own consent.
"It's okay, as long as you can be good in the future."
Next, Gu Chengyu and Mr. Gu stood up to leave and prepared to go to Gu Changsong's house.
Gu Changsong's family lived in the middle of the village. Gu Chengyu and the others walked back and arrived at the courtyard gate of Gu Changsong's family. Gu Chengyu saw from the large gap in the courtyard door that the layout of the uncle's house was similar to his own, with a main room and a balcony.
The east and west wing rooms are enclosed like a courtyard, but there are two main rooms in their house. The kitchen is built on the right rear side outside the main room. The main room is covered with tiles. It seems that the patriarch's family must be richer than his family.
It should be thick, not to mention that there is also a eldest son, Brother Hua, in his family.
"Brother? Are you at home?" He shouted, but Father Gu had already pushed the courtyard door open and entered. Generally, as long as there are people at home in the village, the courtyard door is not closed during the day. Of course, Mr. Li's house is an exception.
"Is it Changqing? Here you go! Come in and sit down!" Gu Changsong was surprised, why did his second brother come here today? Is there something wrong?
Gu Chengyu followed Mr. Gu into the main room and saw Uncle Gu sitting on the edge of the Kang at home, talking to Aunt Gu, Mrs. Yang. They stopped when they saw two people coming in. "Changqing, is there something wrong?"
The two brothers live in the same village and see each other often, so there is nothing to be polite about.
"Brother, I'm going to send Xiaobao off. Isn't your brother Hua back? I just want to ask you, which private school in town is better? How is the private school that brother Hua goes to?"
