Chapter 66: The Calculation Behind the Scenes
"Ma'am! Isn't there a lot of ways to do that? If they don't go out, they won't be in trouble? Let's check the details of his family, and he is still a solid farmer! I heard that Gu's soap was made by his family, if his soap disfigured others, then the business would still be done? Besides, didn't the Lu family point to her son as an official? If that kid can't even pass the hospital exam, then how can he be an official? ”
Mother Xi smiled and comforted Yu, in fact, these methods are too simple, she used to use them in Yufu before.
"What good idea did Mom come up with? Come and hear it! Yu Shi eagerly shook Xi's mother's sleeve, she couldn't wait!
At this time, Gu Chengyu, who was in the Gu family, was also thinking about the Yu family, he thought about it carefully, the shops he bought were all used with another household registration, which he got by asking Master Wang to leave, and he didn't go to the shop often, and others didn't know that the owner of the shop was him, so there should be no problem with the shop.
The rest is the family's fertile land, there are not many fields, but some medicinal materials are planted on it, in order to be cautious, he does not plan to sell this year's medicinal materials. The last is the family's soap business, if Yu wants to find a place to start, one is the soap business, the other is his exam, and the last one is the personal safety of his family.
He felt that he still had to talk to his mother and them, at least they should be more precautionary.
At this time, it was already unitary time, Gu Chengyu had dinner, but he didn't go back to his room immediately. He sat on a stool and drank a bowl of tea.
"Little treasure! You should go back and rest early! Father Gu took a puff of dry tobacco, and saw that Gu Chengyu was still sitting on the stool and didn't move, so he urged. After running around for a few days, I think I should be tired.
Gu Chengyu put down the tea bowl, Gu Wan had just returned to the room, and this was a good time to ask. But he didn't know whether to ask or not, if Daddy Gu didn't know about the Lu family back then, he would have asked like this, wouldn't that leave a pimple in Daddy Gu's heart?
Gu Chengyu thought about it, but still stood up and prepared to go back to the room.
"Xiaobao, but you have something to say?" Zhi'er Mo Ruomu, Gu Chengyu is still in the room so late, so there must be something to say.
Gu Chengyu was a little hesitant, he didn't know whether to ask or not.
"It's okay! I'll go back to my room first! "Let's ask again tomorrow!
"What else can't you say to your mother?" Daddy Gu felt a little puzzled, it was rare for Xiaobao to hesitate so much!
Gu Chengyu was a little helpless, of course he couldn't say that it wasn't because he was there? Did he want to ask his mother in front of Daddy Gu, mother! Do you still remember Jiang Mingyuan in Fucheng back then?
In the end, he really couldn't hold back, in fact, he was really curious, "Mother! The Governor of Fucheng's Governor's Mansion? ”
The Lu family was sewing a purse for Gu Chengyu, which he was going to take with him when he was going to Fucheng for the exam. "Ouch!" When Lu Shi heard this, his spirit was a little trance.
"What's wrong? Didn't you tell you not to sew at night? You see? Father Gu looked at the blood beads on Lu's fingers and felt a little distressed.
"Huh? Mother, are you alright? Gu Chengyu stepped forward in two steps, took Lu's hand in his hand and looked at it, he didn't know that he just mentioned it, but his mother was so excited!
Father Gu saw Gu Chengyu tear out a piece of cloth from the sewing basket and wrap it for the Lu family, so he was relieved. However, in a blink of an eye, I thought of the Jiang Governor's Mansion, could the Jiang Governor's Mansion be that person?
Lu's expression was a little sluggish, she didn't expect that after many years, she would hear about him again.
"Little treasure! What do you say is the matter of Jiang Zhifu? Father Gu glanced at the Lu family, and his heart was a little sullen.
"Huh? It's nothing, it's just that Governor Jiang also invited us to dinner, he is kind and gentle! ”
Gu Chengyu said while paying attention to Daddy Gu's expression, only to see that his expression was tense from the beginning, and then with his praise, it instantly became ugly. Okay, Gu Chengyu is very sure now, Daddy Gu also knows Governor Jiang, at least he has heard of it, and he should know something about his mother's affairs back then.
Gu Chengyu decided not to go around in circles anymore, after all, the prefect's wife is not easy to get along with, and he doesn't care about himself, but he is afraid that they will come to calculate his father and mother.
"Mother! Actually, I saw the prefect's wife this time! Gu Chengyu stared at his mother's face, obviously feeling that there was some change in his mother's face, but he couldn't see what kind of emotion it was, but he was sure that it was not hatred.
Lu Shi seemed to have just come back to his senses from his memories, "You want to ask about the events of the past, right?" ”
Gu Chengyu looked at the Lu family and replied solemnly: "Yes!" I met the prefect that day, but the prefect seemed to recognize me, and she was very hostile to me. I'm afraid she'll be bad for our family, so we need to take precautions. It's just that I don't know much about what happened back then, I don't like to be kept in the dark, I want to know the truth before I can think of countermeasures. ”
In fact, what he didn't say was that his curiosity also accounted for part of it.
"Actually, there's nothing you can't say about that." The Lu family thinks that he is innocent, and after so many years, he still says that he is doing well.
Father Gu's heart was also a little excited at this time, and he was finally able to know what happened back then. In fact, after so many years, he didn't think of this, but when the baby mother married him, she was indeed a virgin. Besides, even if the Lu family was not, he would not dislike her, and being able to marry her was something he couldn't think of at that time.
"Back then, I was sold to someone by my father and sister-in-law, and I was transferred to Fengding Mansion......" Lu's leisurely voice echoed in the room, and she seemed to have returned to the time when she was sold.
Gu Chengyu and Daddy Gu listened attentively, and finally Gu Chengyu summarized the story.
In other words, the Lu family was sold to Fengding Mansion that year. At that time, Jiang Zhifu happened to be promoted to the general judge of Fengding Mansion.
The ancestors of the Jiang family went through business and had a wealthy family. Jiang Mingyuan was angry, was admitted to the Jinshi, and was favored by Yu Zheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the capital, and became his son-in-law, when the Lu family went to Jiang's mansion at that time, Jiang Mingyuan had just been promoted to the general judgment, but he had been married to the Yu family for six years.
Jiang Mingyuan's mother was not very happy with the Yu family who entered the door, because the Yu family had always thought that he was a high-ranking family and looked down on the Jiang family, which was once the home of a businessman. And Yu's marriage has been in for a few years, but her personality is arrogant and domineering, of course Jiang's mother will not like such a daughter-in-law.
Jiang's mother three years later, she accidentally found that the rough maid Lu in the yard looked good, so she took her to be a second-class girl, named Hibiscus, and at that time she planned to wait until she was old, and opened her face to Jiang Mingyuan to make a room, if she was pregnant in the future, she would immediately be promoted to an aunt.
The Lu family was only fourteen years old at that time, and these were also ignorant ages, and when she entered the Jiang Mansion, she was the descendant of the Jiang Mansion, how could she be the master of the house? Lu Shi could only passively agree.
But when the Lu family reached the age of fifteen, the Yu family just didn't agree to Jiang Mingyuan's concubine. Although Jiang's mother couldn't get used to this daughter-in-law, her mother's family was powerful, so she could only endure it, but the Lu family was delayed, and Jiang's mother probably felt that there was still hope, so she didn't match the Lu family.
