Chapter 68: Money has been tight lately
The main reason why Gu Yao didn't screw Yao Feifei was that she thought Yao Feifei was right.
Before they came out of the tree hole, Hanxiang Zhang Sheng and the two came up and begged Gu Yao: "Girl, don't say this again!"
"Isn't that hilarious? Next time, I'll call my dad along. ”
Gu Yao had already prepared, pointed to the bustling crowd on the side of the road in front of the door, explained with a smile, and indirectly gave the two of them a promise. The two of them immediately stopped talking and carefully escorted Gu Yao's house. Gu Yao had no mother, and Gu Zhixian couldn't care more about it, and asked Gu Yao carefully about what he saw when he went out and got along with his friends.
Gu Yao answered one by one, because he saw that Gu Zhixian's face was tired, and the corners of his eyes were a little wrinkled, Gu Yao asked, "What is Daddy worried about?"
Gu Zhixian knew his state and denied it meaninglessly, so he said with a smile: "Yes." When the girl goes out, can the old father not worry? ”
Seeing him beating again, Gu Yao didn't ask, the old rule, when Gu Zhi was in charge of the county, he went to block Gu Steward. Steward Gu didn't dodge as before, he sighed directly, and said seriously: "The girl can do whatever she wants, and the master is carrying it behind!"
"Uncle Gu has something to say, what I can do, I will not shirk."
At night, Gu Zhixian dragged his tired body home, looked at the girl standing by the door, and asked with a smile: "What did you do today?" ”
Gu Yao pouted and greeted him, and said confidently: "I blocked Uncle Gu, asked him something, and learned a little trick." Daddy will eat first, and then try my little head technique later. ”
After a cup of sake in the hot soup and cooked rice, Gu Zhixian's body was a little comfortable, and he was about to speak, asking Gu Yao to push it onto the bench covered with felt.
"Daddy, don't talk."
After the instructions, Gu Yao stood behind the bench, his slender fingers slowly kneading Gu Zhixian's shoulders. Gu Zhixian was in pain and sore, but after the pain, it was extremely comfortable, so comfortable that Gu Zhixian couldn't help but let out a soft snort.
"Where did you learn this skill?"
Gu Yao said: "I learned from Sister Xiangxiang in Liaodong before. Dad, aren't you so tired? You close your eyes and don't think about anything. ”
Gu Zhixian did what he said, and he was really relaxed. After about a stick of incense, a touch of moisture fell into his hair, Gu Zhixian got up suddenly, turned around to look at Gu Yao, and saw Gu Yao sweating profusely, and hurriedly said: "You teach this to Gu Xi, you don't have to do this yourself." ”
With a satisfied smile on his face, Gu Yao said, "I'm willing to be tired." ”
However, Gu Yao didn't insist in the end, sat aside, and talked to Gu Zhixian about what he heard today.
"I promised my grandfather about the racecourse, how can I worry about my father? Daddy said that the person gave it to me, and the money didn't have to come out, and I would take care of it in the spring. After it is built, it is also my business to go to Liaodong to pick up my grandfather. Daddy, listen to me first! ”
Stopping Gu Zhixian's action, Gu Yao said again: "The imperial court sent new grain down, and directly exempted Daddy from entering Beijing to report on his work this year, and directly asked Daddy to serve as the magistrate of the county for another three years, but?" Daddy is lacking in skills, and I'm too young to do anything, Daddy, call my mother and grandmother, okay? There is no academy, we build our own academy! Without a master, our sisters were self-taught. ”
Gu Zhixian smiled gently and said with emotion: "Yaoyao, I have really grown up." Recently, the money is a little tight, but the money for building the racecourse is still there, so why use your private house? As for your mother, they came, and Daddy was even more tired, believe it? ”
"That's different." Gu Yao said confidently, and said, "It's like beating my father's back just now, although I am tired, I am very happy." ”
Gu Zhixian thought of the picture of the family reunion, and was dumbfounded for a while.
Gu Yao took the opportunity to say again: "Dad, how much silver do you lack?" Anyway, maybe I can figure it out. ”
According to what Gu Xi said, the imperial court issued a new COFCO. Wanping's official land is not enough, plus the Gu family's private land, the labor cost of more than 1,000 mu at that time will not be able to be sent by three or five hundred taels. But how much is missing, Gu Xi didn't say the specific number.
Gu Zhixian heard that she had a way, and hurriedly said: "It's okay for you to have a relationship with the girl of the Yao family, but you can't have a money relationship with her!" ”
"I know, Dad, I don't ask her to borrow money."
"And who are you looking for?"
Your father-
Gu Yao had already sent a letter to Liaodong during the day, reminding the old man that he would be old at the end of the year at the latest, and he would ask the old man for money to build a horse farm. In addition to the old man, Gu Yao wrote a letter with Meng Shan and borrowed a thousand taels of silver from him.
In fact, Old Man Gu had already been prepared, and he had already told the eldest master about it during the New Year's Festival and told him to get ready. As a result, she was rejected by the eldest master, and it was not easy for Aunt Chen to blow the wind in her ears.
At this time, even the old man was surprised and asked him: "After I retreat, you can be promoted two levels in a row and be in power, how is it bad?" ”
Master Gu really replied, he said, "My son prefers to have a fourth-level father to cover. ”
The son who has always been babbling suddenly coaxed, there is always a reason, the old man asked for a long time and couldn't ask, so he had to change his tone and persuade with another matter: "Brother Heng will marry a daughter-in-law in March next year, but the Gu family's daughter-in-law entered the door, you don't go back as a father, I have to go back as a grandfather, right?" ”
When it comes to the eldest son, the eldest lord is not easy to object, and after hesitating for a while, Fang expressed his true intentions: "If the father must sue the old man and return to his hometown, the son will not stop him." Before that, the relationship between Xi'er and Xuan Gongzi was decided. ”
Because of Gu Jin's selfish desires, the old man forcibly sent Gu Yao away regardless of his feelings, and he was also estranged from the Meng family a lot, and he lost face. When he heard that this was the case again, the old man was immediately annoyed and said angrily: "The girl is yours, you have your own ideas." ”
Seeing that the old man was really angry, Master Gu immediately put on a rogue year and asked his father: "My son doesn't have this ability, don't you ask your father for help, go underground to find my mother?" ”
Recently, Mr. Gu always feels that his heart is not steady, and every time he recalls the past, he still has a more down-to-earth life when his wife and wife are there. At this time, when he heard his son mention his wife again, the old man seemed to have his last strength, and said dejectedly: "It is impossible for the Meng family to marry the Gu family, and your mother can't help you if she is here." Boss, stop making trouble. ”
It's hard for my mother, and Master Gu has no idea, so he looks at his daughter.
Gu Jin stepped forward and said to the old man: "When the fifth sister was here before, I often went to Meng's house as a guest. I don't want anything else, as long as my grandfather also takes his granddaughter to Meng's house as a guest. ”
The old man didn't have the strength anymore, but he still had the strength to scold, so he glanced at the eldest grandson with a good face with disdain, snorted coldly, and scolded: "I don't know the so-called stupid." ”
Gu Jin was ashamed and annoyed, and cried silently, and that pitiful appearance made Master Gu feel distressed. He glared at his father dissatisfied, and complained: "How can my father say that about his granddaughter? Yao'er's piano is the best, and no one in the entire Liaodong can match it. ”
Master Gu sneered: "What's the use of playing the piano well?" Go to the house and ask, have I rarely been to Meng's house in the past two years? So far, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, when the old man goes to Meng's house, nine times out of ten, he follows Yao'er, do you understand the meaning of this? ”
"Impossible." Gu Jin said categorically.
The old man didn't bother to pay attention to her, and said: "If you don't believe it, go and inquire, if you have the ability, you can go to the Meng family to ask." ”
Gu Jin said seriously: "Go and go!" ”
