Sun Yuanwai began to show his true face a little at this time.

No wonder he stayed at Gu's house and refused to leave!

It turned out that there was another picture.

Gu Zizhong stabilized him first.

She suddenly changed her complexion again, changed her smile and said: "Sun Yuanwai, I won't tell you, I am indeed short of pocket money, and recently I took a fancy to a box of purple gouache in the rouge shop in the east, and I heard that when applied to my face, it is like painting a picture on my face." ”

She said very excitedly, and Sun Yuanwai was naturally even more happy, and almost wanted to jump: "That's good, the county lord is a little shy now, and it just happened that the lower official gave the county lord some small money, and the right should be a little bit of the lower official's heart." ”

Gu Zizhong also clapped his hands, but suddenly his face tightened, his shoulders shrunk, and he looked aggrieved: "But you don't know the rules of my family." A junior like me has no right to accept gifts from others. If my father had known about this, I would have to be beaten with a feather duster. I don't want ......"

Shaking his head again and again, Gu Zizhong looked very helpless.

Sun Yuanwai was originally happy, but at this time, he was like a clay figure frozen in ice, and his face lost its luster.

And this kind of rule, he has never heard of before.

What can I do?

He didn't ask again, but Gu Zizhong hurriedly said, "But you don't have to worry, I can't take it, my brother can take it." He's the elder in our family. ”

"Oh. Sun Yuanwai was happy again.

It just so happened that Gu Shizi came back from outside, looked at the two of them, and pointed at Sun Yuanwai: "Mr. Sun, why are you standing there if you don't sit down?"

Didn't Sun Yuanwai say good things to Lord Gu's intercession?

But he didn't defend himself, and hurriedly said: "Yes, listen to the words of the prince." ”

sat down, and the silver ticket in Sun Yuanwai's hand was not put away.

It just happened to let Gu Shizi, who was half drunk, see it.

Sun Yuanwai couldn't afford to accept it if he wanted to, so he simply handed it to Gu Shizi and said, "Lord Shizi, you have to spend money on eating and drinking in the past two days, right? ”

You don't need to drink so much.

Gu Shizi was still shaking his head, but he was stunned at this time, and hurriedly pushed: "Mr. Sun, what are you doing here?"

Why is the question exactly the same as that of Lord Gu.

Gu Zizhong also snickered in his heart, thinking that the two of them were really a family, and even the doubts were the same.

Of course, the two of them are not questioning.

The Gu family is not short of this money, and this person is from an unknown background, so it is indeed strange to suddenly send money.

A piece of pie falling from the sky can satisfy hunger, but it can also kill people.

Gu Shizi pushed and said: "Mr. Sun, you came to our house as a guest, we are afraid that we will not take good care of us, how dare we ask for your money? Isn't it just drinking? Another day, you and I are free, make an appointment, I will take you to the largest restaurant in Jinling City, how about we not get drunk or return?"

Sun Yuanwai's gift is also heartwarming enough.

No matter what these two people say, he is just a little kid, and Sun Yuanwai can't tell them everything on his mind.

Forget it, let's talk about it another day.

Sun Yuanwai thought in his heart, so he took the silver ticket back.

Gu Shizi accompanied Sun Yuanwai to drink a few more glasses.

Waiting for Feng Ming to report: "The county lord, the prince, the lord has gone away, and when he left, he specially instructed the maidservant, saying that he would hoard some vegetables for the family." I'm afraid that Miss Li won't be enough alone, so let's send someone more!"

It turns out that Gu Wangye has gone far away?

Sun Yuanwai has been grinding here for a long time, isn't it in vain?

There was a little gap in the hearts of the guests, so they wanted to get up and say goodbye.

Gu Zizhong asked, "Why didn't you say it just now?"

Feng Ming said obediently: "Just now I saw that several servants in the house had gone out, and I thought they had all gone out to buy vegetables and stock up on goods." Who thought that they were coming back again, saying that they were moving things for others and going to work as coolies. ”

Gu Shizi felt fresh: "Why didn't my sister and I know? Is this my father's arrangement?"

Feng Ming shook his head: "It's Madame's arrangement." As soon as Madame returned, they followed. ”

Oh?

The old lady is back?

That's good.

Sun Yuanwai is not ready to leave, so he will stay and see the situation first.

As soon as they were chatting, Gu's mother was helped in by the servant.

"Mother. Gu Zizhong greeted him first.

Gu's mother responded, although she was tired, her face was very kind.

Looks like my mother's progress is good.

Gu's mother saw Sun Yuanwai, but she didn't recognize her life, but was very calm, and immediately asked everyone to sit down and talk.

Gu Zizhong felt strange, her mother had seen this person before?

Sun Yuanwai prepared to salute Gu's mother.

Gu Mu stretched out her hand, shook her head and said, "It's all old acquaintances, so there's no need to do this salute." ”

Sun Yuanwai thanked him.

Gu's mother took a sip of tea and asked, "Do you have something to do with coming to my house?"

Sun Yuanwai thought about it, and took out the silver ticket on his chest again: "Madam, this is a small filial piety to you, a little heart......"

Gu's mother was very pleased: "You kid also knows that you have sent me money." ”

Sun Yuanwai hesitated for a moment and said, "Look at what you said, no matter how small you are, you don't dare to forget the benefits you gave to the small." ”

Gu's mother waved her hand: "It's all in the past, don't mention it again." It's just that my lord didn't see you?"

Gu Zizhong said: "Mother, father has gone to Beijing now. ”

"Oh. Gu's mother understood, "I said why didn't I see the master!"

The silver ticket in Sun Yuanwai's hand was always noticeable in front of him, and he didn't speak.

Gu's mother looked at Sun Yuanwai and smiled: "You person, quickly take back the money." You are a guest of our house, come to our house for dinner, can I still collect your money?"

Sun Yuanwai hurriedly said: "The small one doesn't mean that. The little one is now coming to Jinling, although he can't enter the mansion of Lord Futai, but he can enter the yamen. ”

By the way, when he said this, Gu's mother remembered that Jinling City had recently changed a Futai, and I heard that Lord Futai was old and had returned to his hometown.

At that time, the Gu family was not in Jinling, but still in the capital!

Now that another Lord Futai has taken office, the Gu family has to express his feelings.

Gu Mu just remembered this.

But also, business in Jinling City is not good, and rich businessmen do not come much.

There is no oil and water, the economy is not good, and the population is much smaller.

"Oh. Gu's mother replied casually, "This, then congratulations." From now on, we can get together from time to time. ”

Sun Yuanwai nodded repeatedly.

But no one in the Gu family was willing to accept the silver ticket in their hands.

Who dares to ask for this unknown silver ticket?

Gu's mother really didn't want to refute other people's face, but she didn't refute it: "Little grandson, you take the silver ticket back first, you just came here, and there are many places where you need money." When my lord comes back another day, you can ask him to do anything about it. ”
