Gu Youlu would say these words directly to Lord Li, firstly, to show off, and to let Lord Li see his ability. The second is that the Qi family and Futailou are silent about the Gu family's residence, and he found a few frequent visitors to Futailou today, and they all said that the Qi family and the Hu Dongjia are strict-mouthed, and whoever comes to ask will not say the Gu family's address.

Gu Youlu wanted Lord Li to help him ask. Lord Li is an official, as long as he speaks in person, he will not dare not say anything about the Hu Dong family and the Qi family.

But as soon as he said this, not to mention Li Zhuang and the others who were waiting next to him, even Lord Li felt that it was too much.

Li Dadao: "Youlu, although you are all surnamed Gu, but the matter of making a living is not so easy to cooperate." ”

Li Zhuang said beside him: "Third Master Lu, my lord is right, it's not so simple to make a living together, let's eat first." ”

Must you be willing to partner with the old Gu family to do business?

How did this Third Master Lu say such a thing?

Other people's families are doing a good job, and his old Gu family is going to join in when he sees that he has the same surname, where is there such a good thing in the world?

Gu Youlu was unhappy, but he knew that Lord Li liked him very much, so he made a sad appearance and said, "Uncle Li, my nephew knows that it is a bit rude for me to say this, but my nephew also came up with this idea that is good for everyone after inquiring about the fact that the Gu family does not have a shop in Fucheng." ”

He added: "And my nephew thinks that our family has been relying on Uncle Li's family for food, and it is not easy for Uncle Li to be an official, and the money he gets is all hard-earned money, and my nephew wants to find a livelihood for his family, which can also reduce Uncle Li's burden." If you do a good job, maybe you can help Uncle Li, after all, you need money to run for officials. ”、

Gu Youlu followed Lord Li and had seen Lord Li running for office, so he knew the word "running official".

Lord Li was angry with Second Young Master Li today, and now when he heard Gu Youlu's words, he was so happy that he praised him: "Youlu has grown up, and he knows that he has helped Uncle Li share the burden." ”

But......

"This Gu family already has a cooperative family in Fucheng, and that is the Qi family. Uncle Qi is a Beijing official in the capital, and he also knows a lot of people, so we can't take away his family's livelihood as soon as we come, it's not good. ”

Gu Youlu wanted to make a fortune and wanted to be red-eyed, so he was willing to listen, so he directly pulled over a chair and sat next to Lord Li: "Although the uncle of the Qi family is a Beijing official, his official position is as high as yours, so you don't have to worry too much about the Qi family." And you still know that master, with his help, are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with the Qi family? ”

Lord Li frowned when he heard this, and scolded Gu Youlu for the first time: "Youlu, I told you, don't talk about that master!" ”

That is a relative of the emperor, he finally got on it, and this time he can be the same person in He'an Mansion, and it was also arranged by the master.

And the lord put him in He'an Mansion because he took a fancy to the granary of Jiangnan, and wanted him to stay in Jianghuai He'an Mansion for three years before being transferred to Jiangnan.

Gu Youlu hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth: "It's my nephew, it's not it, Uncle Li, you forgive me." Rest assured, my nephew won't say it again next time. ”

continued to talk about the livelihood: "Uncle Li, my nephew didn't think about robbing all the livelihood, he wanted to be with the Qi family. The seasoning spices are so profitable, the Qi family only sells seasoning spices in Jianghuai, which is really stupid. If the nephew can get this livelihood, he will definitely sell the spices to the capital and Zhili. Where there are many nobles and there is no shortage of silver, we can double the price of seasoning and spices, and we will definitely make a lot of money. ”

Although Gu Youlu was greedy, he was still a little clever, and he was very moved by Lord Li.

Seasoning spices are indeed a good thing, and the Qi family is afraid of the capital's magnates if they don't sell seasoning spices in the capital, but he is not afraid of the help of that master. If you can get a living with spices, it will be a good thing for the Li family and that master.

However, before coming to take office, the master explained that everything was mainly based on the transfer of Jiangnan as the prefect, and this important matter should not be delayed for other things.

Master Li thought for a while and said to Gu Youlu: "Cheng, Uncle Li asked Li Zhuang to help you check, but Uncle Li can only help you check the Gu family's residence, and you have to come out to talk about your livelihood." ”

He also explained: "Remember to use proper means, we just came to He'an Mansion, and we are not allowed to do that bully." ”

Although he cares for Youlu and them, it is impossible for him to bury his career because of them, and his official reputation will affect whether he can be transferred to Jiangnan as a prefect in three years.

Gu Youlu immediately patted his chest and said, "Uncle Li, don't worry, my nephew is not a wicked person, and he will definitely use legitimate means to talk about business." ”

He is stupid to not use Lord Li's backer to threaten the Gu family!

Gu Youwen, Qian Guangzong and his wife, and Gu Xiaomei have been listening with their hearts, and at this moment, seeing that Lord Li agreed to help, they are happy. The old Gu family has not yet been separated, if Gu Youlu really gets this livelihood, the money earned will also be everyone's.

Qian Guangzong was shrewd, and immediately took Qian Chengcai and asked Aunt Gu to hold Brother Bao to toast Lord Li: "Uncle Li, you are really good to our family, we toast you." ”

As he spoke, he drank it all first.

Master Li doesn't like Qian Guangzong very much, this Qian Guangzong is too philistine, and Jin Zhi was wronged by marrying him. But if you are married, what else can you do? Now Master Li just wants to teach Bao Ge'er well, and he doesn't expect Qian Guangzong's father and son.

Qian Guangzong knew that Master Li didn't like him, so he immediately hugged Brother Bao over and said, "Brother Bao, hurry up and give the great-grandfather of the Li family a New Year's greeting." ”

Brother Bao is only half a year old, and now he is already sleepy, and Qian Guangzong's voice is loud, which frightened Brother Bao'er, and he started crying.

Qian Guangzong frowned, he wanted to strangle this grandson, he learned from the Zhou family, he didn't know how to laugh every day, he was either crying or having a dead face.

Lord Li felt sorry for Brother Bao'er, and when he saw this, he said to Aunt Gu: "Jin Zhi take Brother Bao back, he is sleepy, don't trouble him." ”

"Huh." Aunt Gu responded, and after carrying Brother Bao back to her own table, she stuffed the child to Zhou's maid, and scolded in her heart: It's really damn unlucky, giving birth to a little cub who can only cry, and it can't help at all.

The Zhou family was not happy to eat with Lao Gu's family, so he didn't come, so he only asked the maid to bring Brother Bao'er.

The maid took Brother Bao distressedly, shook him gently and coaxed him to sleep, and Brother Bao fell asleep after a while.

Lord Li is really tired today, and he has to get up tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings to the prefect and Tang Tong, and he only ate for half an hour to end today's banquet.

After the old Gu family sent Master Li away, they asked their subordinates to take the dishes that had not been eaten at the banquet and went back to the courtyard where they lived together.

As soon as he entered the courtyard where Mrs. Gu lived, Gu Youlu was grabbed by Qian Guangzong's wrist and said with a smile: "Youlu, you can make a good livelihood quietly, tell us about the Gu family, I heard that the business is quite big, how big is this?" ”
