Chapter 19 Officials want to be the masters of the people

"Where can I not look for it, but I can't find any trace of it. "www.biquge.info Gu Sizhuang shook his head, looked at Gu Siniang's frowning appearance, and smiled gently at her, "It's been so many years, your mother has finally let go, don't mention it at home, it will make her sad." ”

Gu Siniang nodded in response, "I know." But was there a report at the time? ”

"How can you not report to the official. But the two official words are both for the rich to make decisions, so who cares about the affairs of us poor people. Speaking of this, the gentleness on Gu Sizhuang's face gradually turned into solemnity.

"Since officials are so hateful, what do you want to be an official for, Fourth Uncle?" Gu Siniang looked at Gu Sizhuang's expression and suddenly asked curiously.

Gu Sizhuang smiled, and Wen Wen's voice sounded slowly, "I want to be a good official, so that ordinary people like us can have grievances to sue and complain about." ”

The evening breeze was slightly cool, but Gu Siniang suddenly felt a warm heart, she actually admired this fourth uncle a little, she always thought that if Gu Sizhuang could get famous, their family would not have to pay taxes to the imperial court in the future, and they could save a lot of silver.

But today, when I listened to his words, I suddenly realized that I was so shallow, and she boasted that she had grown up accepting new ideas, but what she thought and thought was far inferior to that of the ancients, who were thousands of years behind.

"Fourth uncle, you must be a good official in the future." Gu Siniang said seriously.

"Accept your auspicious words, but it's so easy to be an official. Your fourth uncle, I haven't even passed the child test. It's a little early to think about this, okay, I'll go back to the house and read the book. Gu Sizhuang touched her head funny, then stood up from the stone, reached out to dust off her body, and smiled at her, "The autumn breeze is cold, don't stay too long." ”

"Okay."

Gu Siniang sat on the stone and watched the sunset in front of her fall into the mountains little by little, dyed in brilliant colors on the horizon, and then disappeared little by little.

The sun in the mountains set earlier than outside, Ma stood in the yard and called her to eat, Gu Siniang hurriedly responded and ran home.

Chen had been in the house for an afternoon, and his mood had obviously adjusted, and when Gu Siniang entered the house, she was helping Ma Shi bring out the prepared meal in the kitchen.

"Mother, don't be unhappy. You're not happy, Siniang is not happy. She ran over and grabbed Chen's lap, her big eyes blinking, looking innocent and pitiful.

Chen's heart warmed when he saw this, but he scolded him, "Don't get in the way, go to the side to play, my mother has the food in her hand." ”

Gu Siniang saw the look in Chen's eyes, and she was also relieved in her heart, let go of her hand, and stuck out her tongue, "Siniang knows that she is wrong." ”

Chen ignored her, and entered the house with a rice bowl, and soon the table was full and everyone arrived.

Gu Siniang ate much faster today than before, put down the chopsticks and sat quietly, and waited until everyone had eaten almost before she spoke, "Siniang has something to say." ”

"What?" Gu Dazhuang took a bite of the cake, took another sip of porridge, and asked in a vague voice.

"The persimmons I got to the market today for a tasting were very good, so I decided to start making more persimmons tomorrow. Three days later, at the market, I will officially sell persimmons. ”

Gu Dazhuang originally only thought that Gu Siniang was going to toss with her on a whim, but now that she heard that she was going to make this deal, he had to think about whether it was feasible or not.

"Someone eating today?" Gu Dazhuang asked with some uncertainty, although he also felt that the persimmon that had been tossed by Gu Siniang tasted good, but he really wanted to take it out and buy and sell, and he felt a little whimsical.

"Yes, and a lot of people haven't eaten it, so I promised them to bring enough for the next market. So tomorrow morning, Daddy, you have to help me pick the persimmons back. Otherwise, it won't have time to ferment. Gu Siniang saw that Gu Dazhuang still looked hesitant, so she was so anxious that she stood up from the stool, "Daddy, don't hesitate, this can really be exchanged for money." ”

"Indeed, many people are rushing to eat it today, Siniang's idea must work." Chen was the first to speak in support.

"That's it, Siniang is amazing, many people come to taste our persimmons." Gu Sanniang also answered.

"Daddy, just let Siniang go, we all think Siniang can do it." Gu Yuanniang also spoke.

Gu Dazhuang saw that his wife and daughters were all expressing their attitudes, and he had a little headache, and turned his head to look at Ma, who was silent on the side, for advice, "Mother, what do you say?" ”

Ma Shi lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, "Since it's the girl's own way to make money, let her toss it." ”

Gu Dazhuang came to listen to Ma's words, and when he saw that she said so, he no longer objected, and finally nodded, "Since your grandmother supports you, Dad doesn't have any opinions." I'll accompany you up the mountain tomorrow. ”

"Daddy is the best." Gu Siniang was so excited that she almost jumped three feet high, and her face was full of bright smiles.

"But Siniang, since the persimmons are not astringent, you can sell them for money, and so can others, besides, these persimmons are all grown on the mountain, and we can't stop others from picking them. Have you ever wondered what to do? Gu Dazhuang asked a question.

"I've thought about this for a long time, don't worry, Daddy. It's not that the persimmon has become sweet, but that I have made it sweet in a special way, and if other people don't know this method, they won't be able to make sweet persimmons. Gu Siniang said this with a confident face.

If there was a way, how could all those persimmons rot into the ground and be used as fertilizer for so many years, and no one would eat them.

"Siniang, I see that when you mention doing business, your eyes begin to glow, at a young age, you are really a little money fan." Gu Sizhuang quipped on the side.

"What's wrong with being a little rich fan, fourth uncle, in the future, I will earn enough money to marry you a big fat daughter-in-law." Gu Siniang could hear the teasing in Gu Sizhuang's tone, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she fought back with a smile.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Sizhuang heard the words of marrying his daughter-in-law, his face suddenly turned red to the root of his ears, he clenched his fists and coughed on the side of his mouth, and said in a somewhat uncomfortable voice, "It's not too early, I'll go read the meeting." ”

"You girl, the fourth uncle is your elder, and you can also joke?" Gu Dazhuang took advantage of his voice to scold.

Gu Siniang lowered her head and admitted her mistake very respectfully, "Daddy, Siniang knows it's wrong, don't be angry." ”

Gu Dazhuang gave her a roll of his eyes, "Okay, you girl, you know how to fool your father." ”

"I don't have it, Daddy is the best. Siniang won't fool her father. Gu Siniang said this, her body was very honest and threw herself into the arms of Ma Shi beside her, and a pair of bright eyes smiled at Gu Dazhuang, "Grandma, did you say it?" ”

Ma Shi rarely showed a funny look, reached out and gently tapped the tip of her nose, and said softly, "You little ghost." ”
