Chapter 446: A Bowl of Mung Bean Soup
He Yu hurriedly walked into the study of Tu Zhifu. The sun outside was really a little sunny, He Zhutou wiped his sweat, and picked up a bowl of mung bean soup that was cold in the well served by the girl on the side, and let out a long breath.
"It's so comfortable! It's so refreshing! He Zhutou sighed, and then said to Tu Zhifu, "Master, the little one has already found out the details of the Gu family......
No matter how heartfelt he was, as long as he remembered the token that Gu Ming took out last time, Tu Zhifu's heart was empty.
But such a big piece of fat can't be bitten in a bite, how can he be willing to give it up?
So he sent the most capable He Zhutou under his command and asked him to check what kind of Gu Laosan is and what is the big deal.
And now, it's him who has come back after checking.
"Oh? He catches the head, it's fast! It's been hard work, Xiaohong hurry up, and give He Zhutou another bowl of mung bean soup! Governor Tu had a happy expression on his face, and hurriedly ordered the pretty maid standing on the side to come.
The pretty maid hurriedly went out again.
"Don't dare to work sister, how hot it is outside, so it's good......" Where does He Zhutou dare to hold up? Quickly stood up and waved his hand and said.
In fact, as soon as he entered this room, he didn't feel too hot. Although it is dog days, and it is so hot outside that people become dogs, but in this study, there are three large ice basins, which are bubbling out with white cool air.
As long as you look at those few pieces of ice, you feel cold, where do you need to drink mung bean soup!
He Zhutou was also secretly jealous in his heart. No wonder everyone loves to be an official rather than an official. Officials and officials, although they are all feared by the small people, but how can officials be at ease?
There is a lot of work to do, not to mention, there is no way to compare with the official in terms of income or something. It is like the usual practice of the shops in the city, which has always been the share of the officials.
The officials can also get a little, but that little bit can't be compared with the officials, and there are so many people to share it......
So in the summer, no matter how hot it is, he can't afford such a big ice cube.
"Master, the little one has already inquired clearly, that Gu Laosan is actually the same as that nobleman...... It doesn't matter......" He Zhutou concealed the envy in his heart, lowered his head, and said softly.
When Governor Tu heard what he said, he was a little dissatisfied: "It doesn't matter? Does that matter or not? ”
"It's a little related...... "He Zhutou is also very big, pulling back and forth, and a bunch of sweat came out of his forehead, "That's the case, last year, the Yu family in Qingzhou, a child came to Runan to study from the famous old master Gu Yu who couldn't get into the Jinshi ......"
"What does that have to do with that noble man in the capital?" Tu Zhifu was not happy when he heard him go so far. It happened that Xiaohong came over with a bowl of mung bean soup, and was about to hand it to He Zhutou, but saw the old man beckoning, so he had to serve the mung bean soup to the old man again.
He Zhutou's hand had already stretched out, and now he watched Governor Tu take it by himself, drinking spoonful by spoonful, I don't know why? can only smile wryly.
"That's right, sir...... The children of the Yu family are not the children of the merchants in this branch, but there is a ...... Master, do you remember that the son of the Yu family who was admitted to the Jinshi and is now working as a Hanlin in the capital......" He Zhutou hurriedly said.
Tu Zhifu slowly drank his mung bean soup, and when he heard him say this, he became more and more unhappy: "That Yu family...... I seem to have the impression that it was the same year as my teacher...... But how good is that Master Yu's own knowledge, how could he let his own children come to Runan to study with a down-and-out literati who is famous for not being able to get into the Jinshi? ”
He Zhukuai had no choice but to explain to him: "Master, although this Gu Yu is famous for not being able to pass the Jinshi examination, but he still has some knowledge, maybe the Yu family has any other ideas, learning from others' strengths or something...... It seems that this Master Tu has been in Runan for a few months, and he has really put all his attention on those rich big families.
A great Confucian like Gu Yu, since he still thinks that people are really just an old man!
Of course, no matter how good Gu Yu's knowledge is, his own master Tu has no choice but to say that he was admitted to the Jinshi himself, but Gu Yu has not been admitted for half his life...... Then, if he wants to look down on this Gu Yu, no one can really say that he is wrong.
However, there are more people in this world who can't get into the Jinshi but have real talent and learning, and there are more straw bales who are admitted to the Jinshi...... The imperial examination, after all, is just an exam.
"Then, this Yu family in Qingzhou, if I'm not mistaken, shouldn't it be an imperial businessman? Why did you get involved with the nobles again? Oh...... Could it be that their family is actually the nobleman's ......" Tu Zhifu pinched his beard and thought deeply.
"That's about it." He Zhutou wiped his sweat and finally got this matter involved. Is this enough to drink a bowl of mung bean soup?
Tu Zhifu pinched his beard and pondered. Is that so? Is that so? So, is such a relationship really worth tying yourself up?
"Xiaohong, bring another bowl of mung bean soup to He Zhutou, and see what He Zhutou looks like." Tu Zhifu raised his head by chance, saw the sweat on He Zhutou's forehead, and hurriedly commanded the maid again.
The maid had no choice but to go out again.
He Zhutou wiped his sweat, thinking in his heart, I don't know if I can drink this bowl? It's better to add more firewood. Although it was quite cool in this room, the call I had just now was repeatedly interrupted by the master, so that I really got hot.
"Master, the younger one also inquired that Gu Laosan, the fourteenth-ranked daughter, is indeed very close to the child of the Yu family...... Therefore, it is very likely that some token of that noble person was actually given to her by this Yu family. He Zhutou added.
Tu Zhifu squinted his eyes and thought seriously.
"In other words, this girl doesn't actually know any nobles?" He confirmed to He Zhutou.
"How could that noble man come to such a small place? And will you know such a girl from a small family? No way! He Zhutou also said with a smile.
"Come on, come on, drink mung bean soup! It's so hot that the ice in the room can't stop the heat...... Come on, come on, hurry up and drink this bowl of soup, cool and cool! Xiaohong opened the curtain and walked in, and Tu Zhifu laughed and greeted He Zhutou loudly.
He Zhutou hurriedly took the bowl and dried up the bowl of mung bean soup in one go.
It's rude! Tu Zhifu was very disdainful in his heart, but now that he still needs him, he naturally won't put such a thing in a conspicuous place.
"Since that's the case, then, it's no wonder......" Tu Zhifu laughed hesitantly, three stores! And I heard that the business is very good!
Isn't this a great gift from God?
