"That's right," Guan Zhutou looked back at Qin'er, who wanted to speak and stopped, thought about it and asked: "In-laws, so the fourth baby has already gained a firm foothold in the capital, since he has gained a firm foothold, since he already has a livelihood, can't Qin'er reunite with him in the capital?" ”

Duan Jiqing sighed helplessly: "Not yet." ”

Guan Zhutou asked, "Why not?" ”

Duan Jiqing looked at his daughter and said helplessly: "The guild hall is not an inn, not only the peddlers and pawns can't live, but even the families of civil and military officials can't live." Female dependents are not allowed to stay, this is the rule! As the head of the guild hall, Zhixing can't take the lead in breaking this rule. And then there's the lack of him who doesn't know when to make it up, but as long as he makes it up, he has to take office, and now no one knows where he will be sent out to do inspections, and then it's a saddle horse tire. ”

Zhu Zi couldn't help but interject: "Uncle Guan, my sister-in-law is pregnant, and she can't go far now." ”

Guan Zhutou muttered: "Yes, yes, yes, I was so happy that I forgot about it, I can't go far when I'm pregnant, and it's terrible if I have a fetal gas." ”

Qin'er's face flushed: "Uncle Guan, I know that you are for my good." ”

"It would be better if the four babies were by your side, Qin'er, I have wronged you."

"Uncle Guan, what are you talking about, I'm not wronged."

"A good man is ambitious in all directions, and he wants to do great things, what is this grievance." Duan Jiqing counted on his son-in-law to fight for him, and then changed his words: "Brother Guan, Zhixing said in the letter that the renovation of the guild hall is still short of money, and the palace test will be carried out in two months, and the palace test will be started on his side as soon as the palace test is released, this is a big deal, not only can we not sit idly by, but we also have to pay attention to it to see if we can help raise some money as soon as possible, and find the ticket number to remit it to him before the end of the month." ”

"In-laws, this is not a trivial matter, how can we help with this favor?"

"Don't worry, you don't need to pay the money, as long as you help run errands," Duan Jiqing pointed to the unopened letters on the table, and said with a smile: "These letters were written by Zhixing and the Hanlin Academy to review Master Ji and Master Fei of Bishan, and there is also a sketch of what kind of thing to be translated." The guild hall was originally built by Master Gu when he was an official in the capital, and it was originally the place where people from the 14 prefectures and counties of Chongqing Prefecture would try to stay in Beijing, so Zhixing wanted to ask Master Gu to help raise funds. ”

"Who are you going to raise it with?" Guan Zhutou asked subconsciously.

"With those talents in various states and counties, the local squires should also make some efforts, after all, it is their children who can afford to study and be admitted to the examination, it can be said that this is the grand event of our Ba County and even Chongqing Shilin, I estimate that this silver should not be difficult to raise."

"Master Gu came forward to Zhang Luo, let's help run errands?"

"Well, that's what I meant. My sister went to drink, we can't be greedy for a cup later, and after eating, we will go to Chaijia Lane to send the letter to Master Gu, and listen to what Master Gu has to say. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

………

As Han Xiufeng and Second Master Fei expected, Master Gu, who was idle at home, was not very relieved but extremely happy after reading the letter sent by Duan Jiqing and Guan Zhutou.

He never thought that he had inadvertently inserted willows into the shade, and a letter actually made Han Si the first thing in the guild hall, and Han Si did a good job of this first thing, and actually raised two thousand taels of silver. Not only plans to renovate the hall, but also plans to rebuild it as a memory after it is completed, so as to perpetuate it.

People live for a lifetime, isn't it just to make a reputation!

When people mention the Sichuan Hall, they will naturally think of Fuzhou Hanlin Zhou Huang during the Qianlong period, if the Chongqing Hall is renovated and the stone is remembered, people will naturally think of him Gu Zhongzheng when they mention the Chongqing Hall, after all, the Hall was built by him in the capital that year.

The more Master Gu thought about it, the more excited he became, put down Ji Yunfei's letter and said with a smile: "Two, Zhixing really did not disappoint the old man, he is a bright and upright person, he is diligent and respectful. ”

"Master Gu, Zhixing can be where it is today, thanks to your old support."

"Yes, yes, if he didn't have your old sponsor, how could he do the first thing in the guild hall."

"The old man's sponsorship is the sponsor, but if the character is not good and the work is not effective, even if there is an old man's sponsor, several fellow villagers who are officials in Beijing will not let him do this first thing. After all, you still have a good son-in-law, and you have a good nephew! ”

Duan Jiqing's heart was full of joy, and he couldn't help laughing: "I'm not afraid of Master Gu's jokes, the reason why I married my daughter to Zhixing in my later life is to see that Zhixing is a good offspring." ”

Master Gu smiled slightly, and then muttered: "Judging from the sketch, it will cost a lot of money to renovate and expand. Ji Bowen also said in the letter that Zhixing was helpless to ask for help from the old man, and even struggled with it for several days. In fact, he doesn't need to be so entangled, the renovation and expansion of the hall is a grand event of my Chongqing Shilin, although it is far away in the capital, but the students of the 14 prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of our Chongqing government should contribute. ”

Duan Jiqing knew very well that no matter how much he gave at this time, his son-in-law would double his earnings in the future, so he immediately gave his hand and said: "Master Gu, if you are not talented in your later life, you are willing to donate ten taels!" ”

"Okay, great, it's the so-called father and son soldiers who don't leave the battle." Master Gu nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "The guild hall was led by the old man who read my Chongqing Mansion to take the exam in Beijing but had no place to stay, and now it is going to be renovated and expanded. ”

"Master Gu, you always have ideas, and you will listen to your old dispatch when you are born and the head of the Guan team."

"Brother Duan, do you know which squires in this county?"

"I know, the late students in this county know everything."

"One counts as one, help the old man write an invitation to the squires in this county, and after writing it, the head of the labor driving team will send it together with the old man's famous post, and invite them to come to Wangjianglou at noon the day after tomorrow to eat and drink."

"Make a draft first, you always go through it first, if you can write it."

"Don't worry, listen to what Lao Yu has said," Master Gu smiled, and continued: "Lao Yu will go to visit Futai and Xuetai later, visit the county parents and teachings, and the renovation of the guild hall is a grand event for my Ba County and even my Chongqing Mansion, and the Futai, Xuetai and the county parents and county teachers should help." ”

"What Master Gu said is very true, the renovation of the guild hall is not only my family's ambition, nor is it just your business Master Gu, it is a grand event in our Ba County and even Chongqing Prefecture, and the mansion, Xuetai, the county lord and the teachings should be known."

"Not only the government and the school, the parents of the county and the teachers of the county, but also the county lords and teachers of other states and counties cannot sit idly by. The day after tomorrow, we will first feast on the squires of the county and the students of the county in Wangjianglou, and share the plan of the renovation and expansion of the chamber of commerce, and then go to Jiangbei, Bishan, Jiangjin, Changshou, and Yongchuan...... Fourteen states and counties scattered halls one by one! ”

"Master Gu, it's naturally good to go through them one by one, but it will take a month or two to walk down this time, Zhixing said that he will start construction after the palace test list, can we have time here?"

"Brother Duan, the old man knows that you are anxious about your ambition, but you should also know that renovating the guild hall is not an overnight thing, how can it take half a year or even a year to renovate it, besides, there are two thousand taels in the official account of the guild hall, and the money to buy materials and start construction should be enough, so we have time."

"That's right, look at me, it's really a hurry!"

"It's right to be in a hurry, who let Zhixing be your son-in-law." Master Gu smiled and said, "All in all, we try our best, and we can raise as much as we can." Wait for this circle to come down, remove all the expenses during the fundraising period, and remit all the ticket numbers to Zhixing. Whoever donated how much should be registered, and when the hall is renovated, it must be recorded, so the accounts should be clear. ”

"Zhixing is the son-in-law of the late birth, and the late birth should avoid suspicion......"

Master Gu secretly thought that the soldier in front of him, who was worthy of being the government office, could not only do things but also know the rules of officialdom, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Since Brother Duan wants to avoid suspicion, then the old man will find someone else to be responsible for the accounts." ”
