Chapter 90: Little Lady, Shall You Come to Our Study? Eat and live!
Hearing Gu Ming's words, Nie Xiaoqian was also relieved and happy.
Either way, this statement is a promise after all.
And she can also understand Gu Ming's thoughts.
If the two get married now, there will inevitably be people behind their backs, thinking that Gu Ming has climbed a high branch.
Although Gu Ming runs a study, he also earns a lot of silver.
But having a lot of money doesn't necessarily mean having status and prestige, it's a big deal to be a wealthy or businessman.
Only fame can be universally recognized and respected by people.
Although Xiucai also has fame, it is relatively common and belongs to the entry-level level, and basically does not have too special status.
Otherwise, it would not be often called "poor and sour talent".
It's different to lift people, it can be called a skyrocket.
Xiucai's so-called not kneeling when seeing officials is actually limited to the county level, and when he meets officials at the government level, he has to kneel when he should kneel.
It's different if you are lifted, even if you commit a crime and go to court, you can not kneel, and you can't punish it.
When the common people see the lifting of people, they also have to respectfully call the master.
Therefore, if Gu Ming really wants to marry Nie Xiaoqian after winning the move, not only will he not attract people to gossip, but it will also be passed on as a good story of a talented and beautiful woman.
It was precisely for these reasons that Gu Mingfang would say those words.
At the same time, it also strengthened the determination of the examination.
Even if it's not for anything else, you have to fight for breath.
As for being an official, as long as he has fame, Gu Ming is really not uncommon to be an official.
Even he planned to straighten everything out in the future, and he had to persuade Lord Taishan not to be an official.
After all, there are many rights and wrongs in officialdom, and although there are many privileges, there are also many factors of instability and instability.
After chatting for a while, Liu Ma and Yu'er began to serve the wine and food to the table.
Weng and his son-in-law drank happily.
If it weren't for his daughter being watching, Nie Hongshu would probably have to get drunk again.
……
The next morning, Du Yuanwai and his wife came to the study early and prepared a generous gift: a jewelry box.
There are several pieces of gold and jade inside, and it is estimated that it can be worth hundreds of taels of silver.
"Gu Gongzi, just give it to Miss Nie with a little heart, please don't dislike it."
It's not that the couple deliberately curry favor with Nie Xiaoqian, after all, Gu Ming is not an ordinary scholar, and it seems too vulgar to send silver directly.
Therefore, the couple discussed it, and simply gave gifts and picked out some jewelry for Nie Xiaoqian.
In this way, it not only appears sincere, but also looks good on the faces of both parties.
pushed each other for a while, and in the end, Gu Ming still accepted a piece of the other party's heart.
If you don't accept it, Du Yuanwai and his wife won't be happy.
When Nie Xiaoqian came to the study, Gu Ming handed over the jewelry box and explained the reason.
The two sides were again prevaricating and polite......
After chatting a few more words, Gu Ming said: "Du Yuanwai, Mrs. Du, I have something to go out, you just drink tea here slowly." ”
Then he came to the county government and went to Qingfeng Town with the six catchers arranged by Nie Hongshu.
He Yongliang wanted to go with him, saying that it was an eye-opener.
Two of them rescued Mrs. Du, and on the way they talked about the situation at that time, as well as the results of their investigation in Qingfeng Town.
"Gu Gongzi, at present, not only Zhangjia Village, but also Qingfeng Town is also making trouble, seven people have been injured and three have died.
The wolves usually appear in the evening, and we have told the people to close their doors early and keep more knives and sticks in their homes for self-defense. ”
"Well, you must be careful this time, a single wolf is not terrible, if you are afraid, you are afraid that they will attack it in groups."
"Okay Gu Gongzi."
At this time, Gu Ming subconsciously glanced at He Yongliang again: "I advise you to go back, don't blame me for not reminding you if you are accidentally bitten by a wolf." ”
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of you!"
He Yongliang didn't care.
To say that he is not afraid of being fake at all, it's just that he has a blind confidence in Gu Ming.
After all, I have seen Gu Mingli slash the Yaksha with my own eyes.
I didn't see it last time, so I'll open my eyes again this time.
When he was about to arrive in Qingfeng Town, Gu Ming couldn't help but secretly say, could it be that the wolf demon was really a rumor?
Or is that the wolf just a little bigger, and the people mistake it for a wolf demon?
It's no wonder that he thinks so, according to the experience of the previous times, shouldn't the system issue special tasks?
As a result, a row of information came to mind as a result:
[Special Mission: Slay the Wolf Demon of Storm Town]
[Prize: 50 points]
emmmmmmm
Is it possible that the dog system is peeping at the screen at any time?
Why was the task released as soon as I thought about it?
Gu Ming was a little speechless.
Fortunately, the system is not human, otherwise how embarrassing would it be to do something shameful in the future?
If only it could shield the system.
Call it out when you need it, and close the dark room when you don't need it.
Once in the town, one of them went to inform a few squires in the town.
After the two sides met, a few squires first exchanged a few polite words, and then began to pour bitter water.
"We have organized more than 50 young people, equipped with knives, sticks, torches, bows and arrows, and so on.
It's just that this is feasible in the short term, but what is good if it drags on for a long time? ”
"The day before yesterday, we spent ten taels of silver to find a so-called master, and the other party swore that he would destroy the wolf demon, but he was almost killed by the wolf......"
"Ladies and gentlemen, we can be completely sure that it was the wolf demon who caused it, and several people in the town saw the wolf demon with their own eyes......"
The task has been received, and Gu Ming naturally will not have any doubts.
After asking in detail, I learned that the wolf demon does not necessarily appear every day.
Because, not many people have seen it.
But what is certain is that the reason why so many wolves suddenly appeared must be that the wolf demon has controlled all the wolves in the radius.
In the afternoon, Gu Ming and his party came to Zhangjia Village again.
This is where the wolves attack first, and it is also the hardest hit area.
After some inquiry, many villagers said that they had seen the wolf demon with their own eyes, which was bigger than a fat pig, and its eyes were blood-red, which was quite scary.
However, the wolf demon had only appeared once, and it had squatted far away and not entered the village.
Otherwise, where can the villagers withstand the attack of the wolves?
"It's strange, could it be that wolf demon is just big and not strong? Otherwise, how could they hide far away? ”
He Yongliang couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.
"yes, could it just be scary and not biting?"
There is a catcher echoing the road.
Gu Ming shook his head: "It's unlikely, if it really doesn't have the strength, how can it command the wolves?"
I think the biggest possibility is that it is slowly retaliating, causing a lot of people to fall into panic and slowly torment people's hearts. ”
Saying this, He Yongliang and the others couldn't help but look at each other.
It is indeed possible.
After all, wolves are very intelligent in their own right, let alone a wolf demon.
The village chief turned pale with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "According to what this son said, when it has had enough fun, won't our village be full of blood?" ”
"It's okay village chief, I'm here to help you solve the wolf problem this time.
You go and tell the villagers to prepare more oil, preferably tung oil, and then prepare some dry firewood and stones.
There are also bamboo poles, which sharpen one end to be more effective against wolves. ”
"Okay, I'll go and tell the villagers to hurry up their preparations."
As soon as the village chief left, a little daughter-in-law dressed in a fancy dress came over.
He looks like he should be in his twenties, not very pretty, but he has a unique wild beauty.
Born with a good waist, the connection between the waist and the legs is more rounded.
At first glance, it is the kind that is easier to give birth to.
"Two sons, gentlemen, you have worked hard all the way, and the little woman has boiled you some wild honey syrup......"
Without waiting for the little daughter-in-law to finish speaking, He Yongliang hurriedly said: "Great, it's just that I'm thirsty, I'll have a bowl first." ”
The little daughter-in-law covered her mouth and smiled: "It's okay, why don't you go into the house with the little girl to drink." ”
"No need, there are too many troubles, why don't I drink it and help them bring it out."
He Yongliang looked anxious, so he almost reached out to pull his little daughter-in-law.
At this moment, Gu Ming wanted to cover his face, and yelled again: I don't know this person!
As soon as the two left, the catchers couldn't help but smile.
Anyone could see that He Yong had a bad conscience, so he took the opportunity to stay alone with the little daughter-in-law for a while.
But in broad daylight, it's nothing.
The big deal is to eat some tofu with flowers, anyway, this guy used to be a storyteller and can speak well.
After entering the house, the little daughter-in-law scooped a bowl of sugar water with small steps and handed it over.
He Yongliang took the opportunity to take the bowl and pretended to touch his fingers inadvertently.
Well, it's a bit crispy.
Secretly savored it for a moment, and then while drinking sugar water, he subconsciously looked around and asked, "Little lady, your man also went to help prepare to fight wolves?" ”
The little daughter-in-law sighed faintly: "That dead ghost has left me for three years......"
As soon as he heard this, He Yongliang couldn't help but perk up: "Throw you down?" Did he go out of town alone? ”
"I've gone to Yellow Springs......"
"Great...... No, no, don't get me wrong, little lady, I mean to say, the festival mourns and changes, and there is still hope for the future. ”
The little daughter-in-law shook her head and smiled bitterly: "What hope can I have as a widow." ”
"What happened to the widow? The law doesn't say that a widow can't remarry, right? ”
"But...... No one else wants me, saying I'm a ......."
"Ridiculous! Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, who can control it? ”
"Having said that, however, the way of the world has been like this since ancient times, and I have also accepted my fate."
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the little daughter-in-law, He Yongliang was a little distressed, and said softly: Xiaosheng He Yongliang is a showman, currently working in Wenxing Study, I don't know the name of the little lady? ”
"When I was in my mother's house, my real name was Lin Xiaoshan."
"Oh~" He Yongliang nodded, and said, "Xiaoshan, you are also alone anyway, why don't you go to our study to do things?" ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoshan's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Actually, I've been to your study, but it's just ...... I didn't want to spend money on books, I just stood and looked through them for a while. ”
"Are you literate?" He Yongliang was a little surprised.
"Well, I was a maid for a few years when I wasn't married, and I studied with Miss for a few years."
"Great, even better if you can read. If you want to go, I can tell Gu Gongzi that it includes room and board, and five dollars a month.
Moreover, guests who come to the Poetry and Painting Society for tea sometimes give ......"
He Yongliang's words clearly mean that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to care about the mountains and rivers.
