Chapter Twenty-Four: Zhu Ming's Ghost Idea
"Is it really only twenty-one taels of silver?" he asked casually.
Hearing this, Gu Bo's face changed drastically and he knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said: "Childe, what the old man said is true, don't dare to deceive the son in the slightest, let alone be greedy for half a cent of silver......
Jiang Yun originally asked casually, but he didn't expect the other party to react so much, so he hurriedly got up and walked over, helped the other party up, and said, "Uncle Gu, you misunderstood, I don't have a place to distrust you." ”
After the other party got back on his feet, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and asked why his family's situation had reached such an embarrassing field, and he was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Seeing that the other party's attitude was sincere, it seemed that after a serious illness, it was very different from before, and it was quite a change of heart, Gu Bo was bold and said it 1510, and after listening to his story, Jiang Yun finally understood why the situation had become so bad.
There is no other reason, that is, because the original owner of this body is extravagant and extravagant, and in the past two years alone, he has spent more than two or three hundred taels of silver in the academy.
Jiang Yun thought back for a moment and felt that the figure Gu Bo said should be accurate. Originally, Jiang Yun had a very good face, and the situation at home was getting worse, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself, spending money lavishly, but he still couldn't listen to Gu Bo's advice, whenever Gu Bo told about the embarrassment at home, he had to scold him loudly, and even suspected that the other party had bad intentions and was greedy for money in the family, which made Gu Bo dare not persuade anything more.
In addition, today Yan Zheng peddled to him an autographed manuscript named Huang Meishan "Morning Hall Theory", which was actually just a matter of copying and forgery, and it was by no means the first time it happened, and there were not a few silver coins that were taken away in this way.
And Jiang Yun is not even a child now, so in addition to the hundreds of acres of fertile land at home, there is no other input, the input is small, but the expenditure is not getting bigger and bigger, it is strange that the situation of the family can be better, if it is not for Gu Bo's hard business support, I am afraid that the Jiang family will go bankrupt long ago and have to rely on selling land to survive.
After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Jiang Yun could only be silent and silent, swallowing this bitter fruit, in addition to grief and indignation, he was glad that he came in time, at least there are still hundreds of acres of fertile land at home, if he comes some time later, I am afraid that the hundred acres of fertile land will also be calculated and cannot be saved.
Gu Bo said these words boldly, if it weren't for seeing that the other party was seriously ill some time ago, and his temperament seemed to have changed greatly after surviving it, as if he had suddenly opened his mind, and he understood some things, he wouldn't dare to say these words.
Now even after speaking, he was still uneasy in his heart, worried that the other party's face was thin, and he got angry on the spot after hearing it, but Jiang Yun didn't have any angry attacks and shame, the people who did these bastard things were the original owners of this body, and they had nothing to do with him, so he didn't need to be angry and ashamed.
But no matter what, he inherited the other party's body memories, and these accounts still have to be counted on his head. He raised his head, looked at Gu Bo, who was standing there a little panicked, patted the other party, and comforted him: "Gu Bo, I know that what you said is the truth, there is no need to have any burden, I used to act confused and did a lot of foolish things, but now I seem to have a dream, wake up, and I will no longer act as confused as before, I don't know how to advance and retreat." ”
Gu Bo cried with joy when he heard this, lowered his head and wiped his tears with his sleeves, and muttered to himself: "God has eyes, the old master is blessed by the spirit of heaven, and the Jiang family is hopeful." ”
Jiang Yun also felt quite a feeling in his heart, it was the luck of the Jiang family to have such a loyal housekeeper, if it weren't for the other party's hard work in the past few years, the Jiang family would have gone bankrupt and fallen a long time ago, and he didn't know what kind of mess he was left with.
"Okay, Uncle Gu, don't talk about this, yes, did you bring the silver? He didn't think much about the past and asked.
Gu Bo raised his head and looked at the other party with some astonishment, Jiang Yun explained: "Although the family is in an embarrassing situation, the rent fee for this academy residence always has to be paid. ”
Gu Bo didn't think so in his heart, and said boldly: "The old man has a sentence that should not be said, I wonder if the son can listen to it?"
Jiang Yun said: "If Gu Bo has anything to say, just say it, I will blame you for not doing it." ”
Gu Bo said: "Then the old man boldly said. Now the family is really not rich, if you can save a little, save a little, according to the old decay, this residence, a quarter of rent costs five taels of silver, it is too expensive, there is no need to spend this unjust money. Doesn't the academy have a free number house, or if the son is not used to living there, he can also go home to stay, anyway, the home is not far from the academy, but it is less than five miles away, I don't know what the son thinks?"
Jiang Yun groaned, don't look at his concern, in fact, he didn't pay much attention to the current embarrassing situation at home, didn't he still have twenty taels of silver, how could it be enough to support for a while, as long as he entered school to get a child, Xiucai, he believed that the situation at home would definitely change.
However, he has this confidence, obviously the housekeeper Gu Bo does not have this confidence, and it is reasonable to cut down on food and clothing at this moment and live with his fingers crossed.
Seeing that he bowed his head here and didn't speak, Gu Bo couldn't stop persuading him on the side.
In the end, Jiang Yun agreed, and said, "Okay, Uncle Gu, I'll rely on you, I won't live here." ”
Gu Bo was overjoyed when he saw it, and now he was finally sure that his son-in-law had really changed, and he had become reasonable, which was different from before.
If it weren't for the person in front of him, he could be 100% sure that he was his own son, and there would be no fake, he couldn't help but wonder if it was a different person, but if it was a real person, he wouldn't have any resistance, at least the current Jiang Yun was much better than before.
After Jiang Yun finished eating, the housekeeper Gu Bo cleaned up, and then said goodbye and left happily.
Gu Bo walked out of Jiang Yun's residence, walked on the bluestone path of the academy, and was about to follow the road back, when two figures appeared in front of him and walked towards him, and after a closer look, he still recognized the person who came, it was Zhu Ming, the son of Zhu Dahu in the village, and Zhong Dayong, the son of Zhu Dahu.
As the steward of the Jiang family, Gu Bo knows the thoughts of Zhu Yougui and Zhong Jin, these two families have coveted the Jiang family's fertile land for a long time, and they wish the Jiang family was defeated.
Now that he saw this Zhu Ming and Zhong Dayong, he naturally didn't have a good face, and when he saw the two of them coming towards him, he pretended not to see it, and was about to walk over to the side.
Zhu Ming and Zhong Dayong saw Gu Bo early, and they were wondering in their hearts, wasn't it the little girl Youlan who came to deliver food to the nerd, why did they change this old man today.
Seeing Gu Bo passing by, he didn't look at them at all, both of them were upset, Zhu Ming shouted, and said, "Isn't this Steward Gu, what a big man, didn't you see Young Master Ben here?" ”
Gu Bo was shouted by the other party, so he had to stop his steps, arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Young Master Zhu and Young Master Zhong, is there something wrong?" ”
Zhu Ming asked: "What are you doing in the academy, don't you know that the academy is a place for students like me to study and study, and idle people are not allowed to enter, disturbing people's tranquility!"
Gu Bo said: "I brought food for my son-in-law, and I didn't violate the rules of the academy. ”
Zhu Ming snorted coldly and said: "Yes, but I might as well tell you that you, as well as your granddaughter little maid, want to come to the academy to deliver food in the future, but I'm afraid it won't be possible, the residence of that nerd in your family, Young Master Ben has already taken a fancy to it, and it must be replaced." ”
When Gu Bo heard this, he still didn't think and said: "My son-in-law's residence in the academy, if the two of you take a fancy to it, just go and live, my son-in-law will not have any opinions." ”
Zhu Ming was stunned when he heard this, and said: "Old man Gu, what do you mean by this, don't you know that your son-in-law has the best face, and he will have no opinion on such a thing that makes him lose face?"
Gu Bo said: "To tell you the truth, my son-in-law has decided that the lease of that residence will not be renewed, who will live in it, and what does it matter to him." ”
"What, don't renew the lease anymore, Old Man Gu, what you said is true?" Zhu Ming asked again.
Gu Bo didn't say anything more, and walked away.
"Haha, it's not that I won't renew the lease, but I can't pay the money to renew the lease. Zhong Dayong laughed playfully in the back, but Gu Bo ignored it, and soon disappeared at the end of the trail.
Zhong Dayong laughed as much as he could, but Zhu Ming stood there without any movement, and there was no joy on his face.
Zhong Dayong turned his head, looked at Zhu Ming's appearance, couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and asked: "Brother Ming, what's wrong with you, that nerd has no money and can't pay the rent, you can now go to live in his courtyard and slap him in the face, isn't this a thing worth celebrating, why don't you speak." ”
Zhu understood him and said, "What's so good about that nerd's residence, there are many residences like him in the academy, why do I have to live in the residence where he lived." ”
Zhong Dayong was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, Didn't you keep shouting before, and you want to live in his courtyard.
Zhu Ming's eyes flickered for a while, and he said to himself: "That nerd must have no money to renew the lease, this is an opportunity......
Seeing this, Zhong Dayong, who is his sworn friend, still doesn't know, the other party is just afraid that he is playing some ghost idea again.
