Chapter 31: Earnest Conversations

Full of wine and food, Li Rui and others warmly invited him to see his father, but Du Yu refused.

"I shouldn't have refused my brother, but now that I drank wine and saw that my elders were disrespectful, and I would see him tomorrow when I freshen up and equip myself, it would be a courtesy."

Du Yu made another gesture, and his attitude was very respectful.

Li Rui smiled and nodded, this person should not be underestimated, the city's temperament, open-mindedness and knowledge are remarkable, and the future is promising.

"Okay, in that case, I won't be reluctant, and I'll take my leave first."

"Foolish brother sends my brother to him."

This time, the names have been changed, and they are closer, and they will shorten the distance between each other without leaving a trace.

After leaving the inn and returning to the place where they lived, Li Rui asked Gu Lei and his sister, "What do you think?" ”

"This person is very powerful, the key is that a businessman has good vision and knowledge, he is amazing, he can stabilize such a big plate as the Du family, and there is no shortage of means, he can cooperate, Yu'er, what do you say."

"Jiang Taigong fished, and the wisher took the bait, he had already seen it."

Li Yu has a mirror in his heart, pretending to be stupid is to cooperate with his brother, and he is not really lacking in heart.

Li Rui also nodded, and looked at his sister who was still playing with Brother Xu's toys.

"Don't play bad for your brother, and cry endlessly."

"Hehe, I'll play for a while and then make a good one for him."

Li Yu smiled.

Back at the inn, Boss Li drank tea and played chess with the old man in the room, and it was easy to rest for a while.

"Dad, we're back, has the doctor been here?"

"Here, the doctor can't do it, it's better for me to know more, just hang the bookbag and let me send it away."

Boss Li waved his hand.

"Dad, I saw him, I had a meal, and my sister hung him."

"Okay, when are you coming?"

"Come tomorrow."

"I asked the Du family to find a doctor tomorrow, he must be familiar with the people here."

Li Yu instantly thought of Du Yu, this time he can't be thin-skinned, and he must use all the connections and resources he can use for his own use.

"Okay, you talk to him."

Boss Li didn't know how to say it, and when he said it, it became a request, but he was used by Du Yu.

"Wrap me up, you can talk, I'll go back to the house."

Li Yu saw that there was nothing to do, and he wanted to go back to talk to his mother.

"Don't go, tell us about his purchase."

"I'll just show him the drawings and decide the rest. If you want me to say, there is no need to give drawings. To be honest, this carriage doesn't dislike me for selling it to him, it's ready-made, and it seems that we are sincere, and we can cooperate next time. He can't understand the drawing, he's not a white rabbit, the master who doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle, it's not so easy to deceive. ”

Li Yu put down the toy and said to the eldest brother seriously, I am afraid that the previous plan will not work, this Du Yu is too smart and does not leak.

Li Rui pinched his chin and pondered.

"Listen to your sister, since you want to cooperate for a long time, let him see our sincerity, even if the deal doesn't work out in the end, benevolence and righteousness are there. We also have a reason to choose other businesses, doing business is the same as being a person, frank and honest, and there is room for advance and retreat. ”

Boss Li recognizes his daughter's character, and her character and intelligence will not have major problems at any time.

Li Rui thought for a moment before nodding, "That's okay, you can play." ”

Li Yu left happily.

Gu Lei stayed to discuss the price of the business and how to further observe Du Yu and whether they could cooperate for a long time.

Li Yu took his things back to the house.

"Third aunt, I bought something, you can see what you like and pick it yourself."

Hand them the things.

Aunt Gu took it with a smile, "Oops! This kid is careful, he bought it all, I bought everything I wanted, I worked hard for you Yu'er, you have been worried about us all the way, and you have wronged you. ”

Aunt Gu likes Li Yu very much, her temper and conduct are compatible, and she treats her best, and she keeps all the delicious food and drink.

On the contrary, she was indifferent to Lin Yue, sometimes she would restrain her, and even reprimand her for not understanding the rules, but when it came to Li Yu, the third aunt spoke for her everywhere, saying that she was hard and didn't have to pay too much attention to the rules when she went out.

"Don't be aggrieved, I have eaten so many meals from my third aunt, and I eat a lot of delicious food, and I use these things myself, it's a trivial matter."

"This kid just hurts, things are good to buy, and things are expensive outside."

Aunt Gu San, looking at the colors and colors, was very careful to choose the plain ones, took care of them for her husband's filial piety, and was thoughtful.

"It's expensive, it's more expensive than the prices in the capital."

"What, it's so expensive."

Gu Lin looked up at Li Yu in surprise.

Even if she doesn't care about the family director, she still knows the price of things.

"There's no way, all parts of the country are unstable, and there are bandits robbing the road, I heard that several cities in the north have been cut off after they have rebelled, and some clans have established themselves as kings."

There has been a situation in various places where the land is the king, the situation is very chaotic, and the major forces have turned to the leaders they value, some are former generals, some are rebel armies, and some are a certain prince.

Everyone is the king of the enclosure according to their ability, stationed in the city they have taken, in short, the situation is a mess, the so-called emperor is already precarious, and the name is gone.

In this case, it becomes very difficult to clear customs for transportation to and fro, and it is normal for prices to soar.

"This situation is changing day by day, when will it settle down, Yu'er has worked hard for you. Now that the world has changed, we don't have to use such good materials, we can use cheap ones, save money, and there are many places to use money. ”

Gu Lin, a person who doesn't care about firewood, rice, oil and salt on weekdays, clearly feels that it is difficult to buy things, and things are surprisingly expensive, so he took the initiative to lower his standards.

"I can afford it, and the one inside should be more comfortable to wear."

"I know you're a good boy, sweet, but ...... Now we can't be so arrogant anymore, the province still has to be saved. I embroidered some purse handkerchiefs, and you can sell them when you go back, even if I do my best, I really don't have any other skills, so I can't help you. ”

Gu Linshi shook her head, her expression was bitter, she had been in pain after losing her husband, and she was very uncomfortable with this embarrassment in the face of escaping, hard work, and the gap in her heart was too big.

But seeing her son's tired and disappointed eyes also stung her deeply, and she knew that she had to change.

"Auntie, if you don't like it, I'll change you to another color."

Li Yu looked at Gu Lin's sad and powerless expression, and she was also a little sympathetic and soft-hearted, no matter what, she had never done anything bad, and she had lost her husband, and she had taken out all the jewelry and silver money she could take.

In fact, she is not a bad person, but her ability is not enough to bear the burden of the Hou Mansion.

Gu Lin raised his head, took her hand and sat down, this will Lin Yue is not there, resting in his room, the two aunts and the Wang family embroidered together, and they also wanted to make up for the two silver coins, do their best, and pass the time.

"Yu'er, without you along the way, we are afraid that we will have to suffer more, I know that I have done a lot of things wrong."

She lowered her head, her eyes were red, and her mouth was full of bitterness, "Lei'er's father is gone, I can't accept the reality for a long time, I stubbornly think that I just had a nightmare, and my man is not dead." ”

She raised her head and took a deep breath, "I can't adapt to the hard work of escaping the famine, the gap in identity, the death of my husband, the collapse of the Gu family, the extinction of my mother's family, I finally understand why my mother-in-law doesn't like me anymore, I have been living in a dream, and the Gu family has always protected me and taken care of me......"

She covered her mouth and whimpered and cried, she understood too late.

Aunt Gu turned her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.
