Chapter 160 Paying Debts with Work

When will I be able to pay it back? When Gu Shui was asked this, he was a little confused.

He is now penniless, he doesn't even have a place to live, and he doesn't have any ability to earn money, so I'm afraid he won't be able to survive until next spring, let alone pay back.

From the time Wanhualou left to the present, in order to borrow money, he has also seen the warmth and coldness of people, he is obsessed with a Qinglou woman like this, whether it is a classmate or a friend, no one is willing to lend him money.

In addition to studying, I don't have any skills to make a living, and it is really difficult to pay off the money and live.

Faced with this inquiry, Gu Shui was really ashamed, and when he glanced up at Wen Xueru, he lowered his head even more embarrassedly, and didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing Gu Shui's appearance, Wen Xueru also guessed a little, looked at Gu Shui, and then asked.

"You're a scholar, aren't you?"

I don't understand why Wen Xueru suddenly asked this? Gu Shui had some doubts in his heart, but he still nodded and said slowly.

"I have already been admitted to Xiucai, and I will continue to take the exam in the spring of next year."

Hearing Gu Shui's words, Wen Xueru nodded, and Gu Shui was even more puzzled in his heart, but he didn't ask out loud, waiting for Wen Xueru to continue to speak.

After a pause, Wen Xue spoke.

"Since you are a showman, and now you owe me silver, the so-called debt repayment is a matter of course, let's not say how long it will take to repay the silver? Let's be honest. ”

"There is an event to be held in my restaurant now, if you want to repay my money, then stay in my restaurant and use your labor to pay off the debt."

"Seeing that you don't seem to have a place to live now, I think you are a scholar, this time I will help you, and you will also rely on your own ability to pay off the money, as a scholar, don't let people look down on you."

Wen Xueru said slowly to Gu Shui, hearing her words, Gu Shui looked up in disbelief.

Staying here to pay off his debts with labor all wrote about his urgent need at this time.

Not only can you stay to pay off your debts, but you can also have a place to live, which is simply a pie-in-the-sky thing.

Gu Shui looked at Wen Xueruru with a look of surprise, a little afraid that what he heard was fake.

Seeing the surprise on his face and the uncertainty in his heart, Wen Xueru continued to speak.

"The purpose of your stay in our restaurant is mainly to attract customers for our restaurant."

"I'm going to hold a poetry activity in the restaurant, every day the winner can have a free meal in Zuixiang Building, you are responsible for the poetry activity, and you are responsible for the topic, do you see if you have the ability to take on this task?"

"If you can take over this task, then I will give you one or two silver a month, and the restaurant will be responsible for your food, drink and lodging, if it works, we will sign an agreement, and you will stay here and pay off your debts by your own labor."

"Of course, if you can't do this thing, then there are only other miscellaneous guys, and the salary is naturally not as high as this, and it is not so easy for you to repay your debts for a while."

Hearing Wen Xueru's words, Gu Shui nodded hurriedly, as a scholar, how could he not do such a thing as poetry? And coming up with the questions and choosing the best winner, these are simple things, how could he not?

Responsible for poems and soliciting guests for Zuixiang Building, this matter is not very complicated, but there is one or two pieces of silver every month, and it also includes food, drink and accommodation, and does something to make Gu Shui really happy.

Now that he is penniless, he has no place to stay, and he is still in debt, and if he does not have a job, he may live on the streets, and he will not be able to survive next year's spring.

Gu Shui could see that Wen Xue was willing to help him now, so he hurriedly spoke.

"Girl, what I can do, in addition to being responsible for the poem, I can also do other things."

"Thank you girl for giving me a chance, I will definitely work hard to help the girl attract more guests, and I won't be able to live up to the help I can't live up to."

can also see that he is helping him, Wen Xueru nodded, not the kind of person who eats inside and out.

Since it has been decided, Wen Xue will let people go down as soon as they are local, and this event will be held from tomorrow.

Lu Yunshu learned that Wen Xueru had engaged in a poetry activity, and he also felt interesting in his heart, and he also strongly supported Wen Xueru.

Gu Shui stayed in Zuixiang Building, and he was very grateful to Wen Xueru in his heart, there was no endless road, he would definitely live, and he would definitely avenge Yi Ling'er.

When he was in Wanhualou, Gu Shui learned from Sister Yue that Yi Ling'er was killed by Zhao Huan.

Although Gu Shui was a little unfamiliar with Zhao Huan's affairs, he knew that Yi Ling'er was sold into the Qinglou by Zhao Huan.

sold Yi Ling'er and let him be tortured in the Qinglou, not to mention, and now he actually killed her, Zhao Huan is really vicious.

Gu Shui regarded Zhao Huan as his biggest enemy in his heart, and one day, when he found an opportunity, he would definitely slash Zhao Huan and avenge Yi Ling'er.

Thinking of this, Gu Shui was extremely excited in his heart, and secretly made a decision in his heart, pay off his debts well, and when the time comes, he will definitely avenge Yi Ling'er.

In the hall, Gu Shui sat on a chair in the corner and began to meditate and prepare for the poetry competition in the evening.

Wen Xueru was not busy at this time, and reconciled with Lu Yunshu at the counter, seeing Gu Shui's seriousness, Wen Xueru couldn't help but ask Lu Yunshu out loud.

"Yunshu, do you think anyone will come to our poetry contest tonight? I don't have a bottom in my heart, so I'm afraid that all my previous efforts will be wasted. ”

Wen Xueru just thought about the haste in the preparation of the poetry competition, whether this would attract guests? But when it was actually held, I was still very nervous, and I was afraid that I would not be able to attract guests at that time.

Seeing the nervousness in Wen Xueru's eyes, Lu Yunshu thought for a moment, and only after a while did he slowly speak.

"Xueru, while you're not busy now, you go with me to do something."

After Lu Yunshu finished speaking, he put down the account book and handed it to Uncle Li, and directly led Wen Xueru out.

"Xueru, on the first day of our poetry competition, we can't just attract people with dishes, but also need to come up with another thing to attract guests."

When the two of them came out of the Zuixiang Building, Lu Yunshu said to Wen Xueru, hearing his words, Wen Xueru looked at him quietly, and waited for Lu Yunshu to continue to propose.

"Another thing that attracts customers, in this world, apart from silver, is very difficult to have other things that many customers can chase."

"I'll take you to find someone to write a notice now, and we'll take it to the academy for distribution in a while, and say that today we will hold a poetry activity in Zuixiang Building, and the winner will be rewarded with five taels of silver."

"Poetry activities, held every day, there are rewards every day, and then they are rewarded with free dishes, as long as the first day is famous, there should be a lot of literati and ink writers will come to our drunken fragrance building."

"A lot of literati and artists are not only there for rewards, but also for learning from people, so no matter what, the first day of the event will be shocking."
