Chapter 375: A Great Event
If you want to ask Daddy Gu how he knew, it was because the shopkeeper Liu of the county town Huichun Hall told the fourth child. The fourth child often went to Huichun Hall to buy medicinal materials, and the maiden nephew of Mrs. Liu's shopkeeper studied in Erlang's private school. In fact, how can there be an impermeable wall in this world?
After Daddy Gu found out, he hurriedly took a carriage and went to Erlang's private school, and called Erlang out. scolded him with a face, and asked him how much benefit he had received, but Erlang refused to say it at first.
was pulled by Gu's father and went to the house that Erlang bought in the county seat. More than 2,000 taels of silver and some precious jewelry and ornaments were found in the house, which made Father Gu angry enough.
The second room is now a year of flowers, and the second room is not as saved as before. Last year's soap dividends only filled the hole of the Yang family, and there was some silver left to live, how could Erlang save so much silver? Later, he forced Erlang to return all the silver, and if he didn't pay it back, he went to the county government to sue him.
Jiro has received so many benefits, who knows what promises he made to others? People are not stupid, there is no benefit to promise him? It's just that he asked Erlang, but Erlang refused to say, and he even slapped Erlang for this, so Erlang hated him.
In the end, he took Erlang to the two families that gave gifts, gave things of equal value, and apologized to others, and they were quite generous and did not blame. Fortunately, this matter was discovered early, otherwise Erlang would definitely get into trouble.
Shopkeeper Liu said that Xiaobao will become an official in the future, if someone else takes the handle, he will either let Xiaobao do things for others, or be a ginseng. These Gu clan members can't help Xiaobao, but they must not cause trouble to Xiaobao.
However, he didn't tell Lu Shi about this, saying that Lu Shi couldn't think of a good way, and maybe he would be in a hurry. When it is resolved, there is no need to say anything.
The Gu clan people hurried to the Gu family, and found that there was no one in the Gu family's courtyard, so he walked towards the courtyard, and then heard Gu's father's voice coming from the house.
"Third Brother Gu, hurry! You've got a great deal of joy in your family! Come out to meet the officer. He shouted in the courtyard, and ran to the main house.
Father Gu was thinking back to the previous incident, and Lu Shi looked at the embroidered bandage on the kang and stopped speaking angrily. Suddenly, Li Si's voice in the village came from the courtyard, and when Father Gu heard it, he said that it was a great event. What's the big deal? Daddy Gu was a little confused.
The Lu family was also attracted by that shout, what happy event can her family have? Could it be that Xiaobao is back? She hurriedly got down from the kang, pulled her shoes, and was about to go to the courtyard.
Li Si didn't care that the Lu family was still in the house, and when he entered the house and saw Daddy Gu, he pulled Daddy Gu and walked out.
"Quick, those officials are here, and the battle is bigger than the last time! The county magistrate didn't come last time, but now we look at a county magistrate wearing an official uniform who looks like a newcomer. ”
"What?" Father Gu was also excited when he heard this, he glanced at the clothes on his body, and saw that it was a cotton cloth that turned around on weekdays, and he was about to change it when he turned around.
"I have to change my clothes, this dress is not good to see the county master!"
As the two were talking, they heard the sound of gongs and drums approaching, and they vaguely heard someone shouting, "...... Gu Chengyu was hit by ......"
The sound was drowned out by the sound of gongs and drums, and it was not really audible. When Daddy Gu heard it, isn't this similar to what he said last time? Could it be that Xiaobao was admitted to the Jinshi?
"Huh? Third Brother Gu, what are you doing here? Everyone is almost at the door, what are you going to change? That's it! Third sister-in-law Gu, you should hurry up. Li Si was a little speechless at Father Gu's still thinking about changing clothes, and hurriedly urged.
Can the county master be lazy? Hurry up and go out to greet you.
Father Gu was urged like this, so he didn't change his clothes anymore. The dumb mother-in-law heard the sound in her own room, and hurriedly entered the main house, brushed Lu Shi's hair, straightened the clothes on her body, and the two went out to greet the county master.
The county magistrate would not let go of such a good opportunity to maintain his reputation at this time, and after asking a few words about the crops in the villagers' fields, he followed the third uncle to lead the way and followed the messenger to the gate of the Gu family's courtyard. The people in the village followed behind the county master, preparing to go to Gu's house to have a good time.
"What do you mean? Won the top prize? Is the fifth child of the Gu family the champion? Ouch! Amazing! ”
"Isn't that the champion you are talking about? I can hear it, it's real. Aunt Wang also came to join in the fun, and when she heard the gongs and drums, the first thing she thought of was that the Gu family had another happy event. Sure enough, it is the champion of the Gu family's little treasure!
She looked at the county master in front of her, and was very envious, this Gu family has really burned high incense for several lifetimes, how can this little treasure be so promising?
As soon as Father Gu and the Lu family came out of the courtyard, they really saw some old people gathered in front of his house. The leaders were all wearing official uniforms and holding official documents in their hands.
Isn't the one wearing a green robe and embroidering a robe the county master? Daddy Gu had seen Lu Zhixian before, and Lu Zhixian was wearing this dress at that time, so Daddy Gu was very sure that this was the new county master.
He hurriedly pulled the Lu family to kneel down for the county master, "Grass people Gu Changqing has seen the county master!" ”
"The woman has seen the county master!"
When Li Zhixian saw it, he hurriedly took three steps and made two steps, and stepped forward to support the two people who had already knelt halfway. This is Zhuang Yuanlang's father, and now Gu Chengyu is from the official position of Liupin, and he is still serving in the Hanlin Academy in the capital, which is much stronger than him, a seven-rank county with no foundation.
In less than two years, maybe Gu Chengyu's mother will be able to ask for a seal. At that time, this woman will be higher than his county master, and he can still make these two kneel? Isn't that a slap in the face?
"Don't be polite to the two of you, this official is here with a messenger from the capital to report the good news for the Gu family, let's invite the messenger in first." Li Zhixian saw that this was not like a word outside the gate, so he reminded Father Gu that they would go into the courtyard first.
"Hey! Thank you county magistrate! Thank you, gentlemen, for your hard work. Thousands of miles from the capital, all the way to the journey, come in and drink a bowl of tea. ”
Daddy Gu can be regarded as having seen the world anyway, and the scene is also very slippery. Knowing such a big happy event, he must give the two messengers a big red envelope, and he glanced at the Lu family beside him.
Of course, the Lu family had seen it before, and the dumb mother-in-law knew these things very well, so she quickly turned to look at the dumb mother-in-law. Now she doesn't keep the money in her hands anymore, and the dumb mother-in-law takes care of it for her!
The dumb mother-in-law took the two girls behind her, got up from the ground, turned around and went into the house, and went to get the red envelope.
"Not busy, not busy. Let's get down to business first. "The messenger first entered the Jingyuan Mansion, and then went to the county government non-stop, but he was actually exhausted.
However, when the business is done, it is not too late to rest.
Uncle Gu received the news and hurried to Gu's house to find that the county master and the messenger had arrived at the Gu family's courtyard. Panting, he straightened his outfit, squeezed through the crowd, and stepped into the courtyard.
He is the patriarch of the Gu family, and Changqing doesn't understand many rules, so he has to take care of them.
