Gu Shao wrote them down one by one, and asked Gu Qilang again, "Did those people approach you?" ”

Gu Qilang nodded, "Yes, but it's also a matter of the last year or two." There is a man named Chuan Benlang, who wants to come to Cuiyang County with me. However, I refused because I didn't tell the elders in the family and it was inconvenient to take it home. ”

Gu Shao nodded, looking at Gu Qilang with a satisfied look.

"Shichiro, you did a good job, and you didn't fall into the trap before you didn't understand the truth and the other party's purpose."

Hearing this, Gu Qilang's face was solemn, he was honest, but he was beautiful

"Third uncle, are those people coming for you? If so, then I will keep my distance from them and not associate with them in the future. ”

Gu Shao smiled, patted Gu Qilang's shoulder, and nodded.

"Those people did come to me to get close to you, but you don't need to be nervous. How to interact, how to interact. ”

"Even if you are framed by them and fall into a trap, don't be afraid. Of course, you have to look scared on the surface to make them think that you are controlled by them. ”

Gu Qilang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he smiled slyly.

"Third uncle, I understand, you want me to make a plan, and then get their secrets, and then I will tell you when I turn around. In this way, they can undermine the unsightly purpose of these people and make great contributions. ”

Gu Shao saw that this nephew was indeed very smart, and he was also very satisfied, "That's true, are you willing to help me?" ”

Gu Qilang hurriedly responded, he was excited, and he responded without hesitation.

"Third uncle, of course I'm willing to help you. Not to mention the help that great-uncle and grandmother and third uncle have helped me over the years, I have always kept it in mind and am grateful to Dade. ”

"As for these Japanese people plotting against them, as a member of the Great Zhou, I will never allow these people to do anything wrong in the territory of the Great Zhou."

"Good boy, be smart, you must save your life, and you must not take any risks." Gu Shao explained, "After the New Year, you continue to take the exam according to the original plan, and you will go back to Jinling Academy to study later." ”

Gu Qilang shook his head, his attitude was resolute, and he rejected Gu Shao's arrangement.

"Third uncle, if I go to catch the exam, I will waste a lot of time when I come back and forth, and when I return to the capital, half a year has passed."

"I'm the last one, and I don't think I'm good at learning. I went over there, but I couldn't pass the test. It's a bit of experience, but it's nothing. Therefore, I want to stay and help the third uncle. ”

Gu Shao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled, "Silly boy, if you miss this time, you will have to wait for three years." ”

Gu Qilang shook his head, "Third uncle, I'm only sixteen this year, seventeen after the New Year, and twenty in three years." I can afford to wait, and I also know that my knowledge is not good, so I will not waste this trip to the capital. In addition, third uncle, I still have an idea, I don't know if it will be successful? ”

Gu Shao smiled, quite curious, and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Those people want to get close to the third uncle through me, I think I can make a game, please enter the urn." Gu Qilang's eyes were full of excitement, with the vitality of a young man.

Gu Shao was very interested and asked, "Let's hear it, it doesn't matter if it's wrong." You're still young, and there's still a lot of room for growth, and even I'm not aware of a lot of things now. ”

After receiving Gu Shao's affirmation, Gu Qilang suddenly smiled, "Third uncle, those people must know that I was taught and raised by my great-uncle and grandmother, and you and my great-uncle and grandmother value me very much." ”

"I declare to the outside world that I want to go to the capital to catch the exam, but you dislike me for not being good at learning, and going to the capital to take the exam is also a waste of time, and I am not allowed to go."

"I was indignant, angry, and went back to Jinling Academy, and I was also drunk, complaining that you didn't look down on me. In this way, there is a rift between us. Those people have a chance. And then continue to draw closer to me, and separate our relationship. ”

"When I fall into their trap, I will become their person, and maybe I will be able to get more information to help the third uncle. I think this way, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Third uncle, what do you think? ”

Gu Shao was slightly stunned, then smiled, patted Gu Qilang's shoulder, and spoke seriously.

"Shichiro, you're really nice. In you, I saw the shrewdness of the second brother and the purity of the second sister-in-law. Taking good care of this mind will make you useful for the rest of your life. ”

"Your idea is good, but it's also dangerous. I have to remind you of this. If you have three long and two short, I am sorry for the deathbed entrustment of the second brother and second sister-in-law. You make me think for a moment, and then tell you about my decision. ”

Gu Qilang's eyes were slightly red, "Third uncle, although you are a few years older than me, in Qilang's heart, you are the existence of your father." Now that you have something, I, as a junior, of course want to help you. ”

"Good!" Gu Shao nodded, very pleased, "You will be seventeen soon, what are your plans?" Do you have a favorite girl? If so, tell me, or tell your great-uncle and grandmother, and give you a plan for marriage. ”

Gu Qilang blushed, his eyes were shy, and he whispered: "Third uncle, you are so good-looking, and you have outstanding literary talents, and now you are a high-ranking official who is favored by the emperor, why don't you marry?" Don't have a crush? If not, what kind of woman can enter your eyes? ”

Gu Shao's face was embarrassed, it was just that he was urged to marry by his grandmother, but he was actually urged to marry by a distant nephew of the same clan, and he suddenly felt faceless, "Who said there was no one to like?" ”

"Huh?" Gu Qilang was stunned for a moment, his face showing curiosity.

"Third uncle, where did you come from? What does it look like? Great-uncle and grandmother are in a hurry all day for your marriage. ”

"If you have something you like, you must tell your great-uncle and grandmother, otherwise your great-uncle and grandmother will set someone else for you, and you will be separated from your intended person."

Gu Shao didn't want Gu Qilang to continue to talk about him, "I know this matter in my heart. I'll tell my grandmother about it too. Now talk about you, what kind of woman are you looking for? ”

Seeing this, Gu Qilang stopped asking, and then scratched his forehead.

"I ...... Of course, I like gentle, virtuous, shrewd and capable women as wives. I study, I only took the Jinshi exam three times in my life, and if I didn't pass the exam three times, I wouldn't take the exam and find a college to be a master. ”

"Therefore, I need a thrifty and shrewd lady. It doesn't matter if it's spicy, as long as you can take care of your home. Anyway, I don't like those messy women, presumably the lady is spicy, and she won't treat me badly. ”

Gu Shao smiled, "It's good for you to think like this, haven't you met a woman who makes your face blush and your heart beats?" ”

Gu Qilang replied very straightforwardly: "Third uncle, how can you say that? Giving and receiving privately is not a gentleman's act at all. is the so-called family affairs, to ask for the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and to understand the etiquette. ”

"Later, I told my great-uncle and grandmother to ask him to find me such a small rich family, not to be rich and rich, but to ask for a woman with a good heart, shrewd and capable. It just so happens that I have a shop in my hand, and I can earn a few hundred taels of silver a year, which is enough for my family's expenses. ”
