Chapter Forty-Nine: Catching Ducks on the Shelves?
After a busy day, the things were finally moved...... Originally, there weren't much.
At the same time, Gu Ming also added some new household items.
The inside and outside of the house are almost cleaned, and it looks like a home.
Of course, Gu Ming didn't forget the second aunt who borrowed his straw hut to live in, and made a special trip to buy some gifts to thank him, and left five taels of silver before leaving.
Wait until sunset, and the guests will arrive one after another.
In addition to Nie Hongshu's family, Gu Ming also invited Zeng Dehao and his wife, He Yongliang, and Dong Sheng together.
The food and drinks were ordered directly from the nearby restaurant, and a large table was filled.
Anyway, now the waist is hard, a full eight hundred taels of silver.
"Come on, come on, let's toast the county order together!"
As soon as it was served, Su Ling began to enliven the atmosphere, and the anti-guest got up to toast for the host, and skillfully called the county magistrate.
"Hehe, Mrs. Su is really a heroine among women......" Nie Hongshu raised his wine glass, and at the same time said modestly: "But this official is only acting as the county commander now, so it's better to keep a low profile." ”
"The concubine believes that Lord Nie will be promoted soon......"
"Yes, yes, here, Zeng also congratulated Gu Xiucai on his grievances, and saw the bright moon through the dark clouds, and he will definitely go to high school in the future!"
As soon as he heard this, Nie Hongshu was even happier than Gu Ming, and he took his wine glass and said with a smile: "That's good, it's so good, come on, let's have a toast together, I wish Gu Sheng a ...... high school."
Gu Ming knew in his heart: it was clear that the future father-in-law was taking advantage of the topic to play and catch the ducks on the shelves!
Of course, it's rare for everyone to be so happy tonight, and you always have to say a few words if you are so obedient.
"Okay, I promise everyone's good words, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely take the exam, and you will live up to everyone's expectations...... Do it first! ”
Drink high, drink glass after glass.
Nie Xiaoqian drank a small amount of wine, only drank one glass, and then poured a glass and drank it slowly.
But Gu Ming, as the host, naturally can't be lazy, he will respect others, and others will respect him for a while, and he doesn't know how many cups he has drunk when he comes and goes.
Seeing this, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help frowning.
Then he found an opportunity and said to Yu'er: "You go and remind Gu Gongzi to let him drink a few fewer glasses, and beware of hurting his body." ”
After giving orders here, he kept glancing at his father over there.
As a result, Nie Hongshu pretended not to see, and he kept drinking.
Yu'er took advantage of the time to pour the wine, and quickly leaned into Gu Ming's ear and said, "Miss asked you to drink a few glasses, be careful of your body." ”
"yes, got it."
In fact, with Gu Ming's current physique, drinking such a little wine is not a problem at all.
But the face still has to respond.
In the end, I drank it all night......
Especially He Yongliang, Dong Sheng, and Zeng Dehao, the three of them have been busy chatting and toasting, and they didn't bother to eat a few bites, so they drank directly.
Nie Hongshu was a little better, but he could only barely stand and couldn't walk at all.
Fortunately, I have already prepared a small sedan chair, so I don't have to worry about not being able to go home.
"The official also ...... You can still drink ......."
"Daddy, let you drink less and don't listen."
"It's rare for Daddy to be so happy, you...... You girl is ...... Mind...... You can't control ......."
"Yes, yes, it's good if the lord is happy!"
Yu'er hurriedly stepped forward and helped Nie Hongshu to walk out with Liu's mother.
This girl is very clever, and the display is to create an opportunity for the young lady, so that she can say goodbye to Gu Gongzi alone.
"Gu Gongzi, you drink so much, are you okay?"
Nie Xiaoqian walked up to Gu Ming and asked with a concerned expression.
"It's okay, I'm drinking well."
"You can't drink too much ...... that."
"Well, the main thing is to be happy tonight, so I drank a few more drinks."
"Then you rest early, and I'll ask Yu'er to bring you some porridge tomorrow morning."
Gu Ming hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll just go out and eat casually." ”
As a result, Nie Xiaoqian didn't follow: "How can anyone outside be good at home?" You've drunk so much wine, be sure to drink some nourishing porridge. Okay, I'll go back first. ”
"Okay, I'll send you out."
"What about them?"
Nie Xiaoqian frowned and looked at He Yongliang and Dong Sheng, who were lying on the table and drunk.
"What else can I do? Only one night here. Gu Ming spread his hands with a helpless expression.
"Oh, that'...... Then I'll ask Yu'er to send more porridge. ”
"Okay!"
Gu Ming didn't want to touch the beauty's heart, sent her outside the hospital, and watched the sedan chair leave before returning to the hospital.
"It's really two dead pigs!"
Gu Ming walked to the table and threw He Yongliang and the others to the guest room respectively, and then returned to his room.
If you want to say drunk, in fact, there is still a little bit of smoke.
However, this level is just right, and it can be called the highest level of drinking.
Looking around at the furnishings in the room, Gu Ming was overwhelmed with emotion.
Relatively speaking, although this small courtyard is not a mansion, it is better than the previous grass shed.
At least it doesn't leak wind and rain.
Just moved to a new house, and his mood fluctuated a little, Gu Ming was lazy to copy and do daily tasks, and lay in bed with clothes.
I slept until daylight, and as soon as I got up and washed, there was a knock at the door outside.
When I opened the door, it was Yu'er who brought porridge.
"Ah, the yard hasn't been cleaned up yet?"
After entering the hospital, Yu'er couldn't help frowning when she saw the mess in the courtyard.
"Hehe, the people in the restaurant will come to clean up in a while."
"Oh...... By the way, the porridge is all in it, so eat it while it's hot. ”
Gu Ming responded and reached out to open the lid of the box.
At that moment, there was a strong fragrance in the nose, which made people can't help but swallow.
"Yu'er, you didn't eat it, did you? Come on, eat together, it's quite a lot anyway. ”
"Miss and I have already eaten...... Hey, what about them? Still drunk? ”
Gu Ming originally wanted to wait for He Yongliang and the others to sleep a little longer, but he thought that he still had to go to the store, so he finally went into the house and woke up one by one.
After eating the porridge, Gu Ming went to the restaurant first and asked people to come over and clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
After the other party finished cleaning up, he locked the courtyard door and walked quickly to the store.
After a while, Nie Xiaoqian also came with Yu'er.
Anyway, she has nothing to do when she stays at home, she can help take care of it when she comes to the store, and she can read books, write and draw in her spare time.
Of course, the important thing is to be able to accompany your sweetheart.
"Xiaoqian, you came just in time, I have an idea...... Leping, Dong Sheng, you all come here, let's have a meeting. ”
For a while, he was so quick that he even used it for meetings.
"Meeting?"
"It's what it means for everyone to sit down and discuss things together."
"I see!"
The group suddenly realized.
After everyone sat down, Gu Ming said, "To make a long story short, there was a lack of funds in the past, so we couldn't find a new book in our store except for my own book."
Now that I have money, I want to come back and fill the store.
In addition, Dong Sheng, your task is heavier, you have nothing to do to read Du Shi Niang's story carefully, and then draw a comic book, which will be printed into a book at that time. ”
"No problem!"
Dong Sheng immediately responded.
Nie Xiaoqian also nodded: "Indeed, there are fewer books in the store, and you can enter some books related to the imperial examination." ”
"Well, this kind of book has to go to Jinhua Mansion to find a bookseller. Leping, why don't you go on a trip and take a few copies of the West Chamber to those booksellers to sell them. ”
After all, He Yongliang is a storyteller, his mouth is far more eloquent than ordinary people, and sending him to sell is undoubtedly the most suitable person.
