Chapter 66: Before Departure

As the largest restaurant in the county, it actually took the common name of "Yunkelai".

Zhou Banxia was no longer able to complain about the incompetence of the big boss behind the scenes, the old lady of Gaofu, and the old lady.

Yes.

A woman can open a shop and do business.

As long as the husband's family is not a businessman, it will not affect the imperial examination of children and grandchildren, but once someone in the husband's family becomes an official in high school, even the woman will have to give up doing business.

If the man is a merchant, it is serious.

Not negotiable.

Merchants directly do not give meritorious fame to the examination, but it is not impossible to think about the imperial examination.

First of all, they must give up their merchant status before their grandchildren can participate in the imperial examination.

Generally speaking, regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, once someone in the family is an official, he can have a shop to rent out, or buy land and rent it out, but he is not allowed to do business.

If there are officials who are discovered by the imperial court and compete with the people for profit, the dismissal of the official will be light, and the worst will be the prison cell.

Otherwise, if you are both a businessman and an official, you will have to pay it back.

The official and businessman family, the emperor and the old man are scared to pee.

But since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of smart people, and the more powerful they are, the more loopholes they have.

Just like the mother's husband's family, they are all the old ladies of the martial arts official family.

Nominally, the operation of this restaurant has nothing to do with her, but in fact, the shopkeeper of Wang, including the shopkeeper of Fucheng Restaurant, has been the son of Gaofu since their ancestors.

And all of them are married to the son of a confidant or the grandson of a confidant.

seems to have become a good citizen after leaving the house to remove slavery, but the deed of sale of her parents and brothers is still in her hands.

Of course, there are clear rewards and punishments.

For example, the shopkeeper Wang was sent to the shopkeeper of the restaurant in the county seat here.

Even if you can't do much performance, as long as you don't betray the master, the reward is extremely rich.

In addition to a lot of salaries and rewards, Zhuangzi who has at least 100 acres of land after 20 years of retirement will enjoy his old age, and even his children and grandchildren are expected to enroll in Gaofu Ethnic Studies.

Gaofu clan learning is not comparable to ordinary private schools, not only does not cost a penny, but also enjoys the same benefits, even if it stops at lifting people, it will be recommended by Gaofu to fill the vacancy of the yamen.

That's what makes it so appealing.

Xiao Banxia was once moved.

If it weren't for the stipulation that except for her own children and grandchildren, her own brothers would not be able to enjoy this treatment, and she would almost have asked Mrs. Gao to recommend herself to be an adult aunt in charge.

The carriage really stopped quickly, put away his thoughts, and got out of the carriage, at this time the restaurant was not yet open, and there was a shopkeeper who was still wiping the tables and chairs.

Gu Wenxuan came forward to negotiate, and the shopkeeper called the shopkeeper Wang from the back kitchen.

Everyone is a social cow.

Considering that he couldn't hide that the shopkeeper Wang was about to go to Fucheng, Gu Wenxuan also told him frankly, and when he put down the New Year's gift and said goodbye, he was still stopped by the shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang knew that the two of them did not go to his house but came here directly, and they definitely didn't want to stay for lunch, so he hurriedly asked the guy to serve the noodle soup.

Said it was noodle soup, which was polite.

After finishing the sumptuous lunch, I just beckoned a carriage to go up, and I was forced to stuff a three-layer food box.

In the words of the king's shopkeeper, since he called him uncle, he couldn't treat him as an outsider.

Don't forget to stay at home for a night on the way back, and then we will have a good drink.

It's so polite.

Gu Wenxuan didn't dare to mention that his father and mother were still in the big car shop.

Even when the groom asked where he was, he asked the other party to send him and his family to the dart game.

Fortunately, the dart board is also in the south of the city, not far from the big car shop.

Although one was in the east and the other in the west, the carriage had to slow down as it walked through the city, but it was only necessary to walk a little way to the junction and then turn around.

"Good boy, I guessed that our brother was drinking and came back with a big food box."

In the big car shop, Gu Erzhu, Gu Yangqing, and Master Yun had already drunk wine, and while drinking, they chattered and entered Gu Wenxuan's food box and entered the door.

"Didn't you think I was not well entertained as an uncle?"

was ridiculed by the two, Gu Wenxuan hurriedly put down the food box, poured wine for the three of them first, coaxed them well, and then asked the time of departure.

Gu Erzhu smiled, seeing that his son was about to be overwhelmed, he gave an answer in time - he would set off at three o'clock tomorrow and stay for two days in Linxian County.

It means asking my son if he wants to wait for the next trip.

The next trip was five days later.

If you don't want to stay halfway, you can wait five days.

At that time, even if you can't catch up with this convoy to go to Fucheng in Linxian Huixing, the first snow this winter will not be very large, and it will not affect travel.

Gu Wenxuan understood what his father meant, but he still wanted to take the convoy tomorrow morning.

After all, I came here, and I went back to go out in a few days, which was very troublesome.

Moreover, there are many acquaintances in the county, and it is not as convenient as Linxian if you want to do something in private.

There is no need to discuss with Zhou Banxia, he knows how to choose.

Gu Erzhu listened to his son's question without delay, and knew where Ming'er would meet at three o'clock, and he knew that it was decided, and Lisuo asked his son to hurry up to find him, Brother Yun.

Daliang has a law.

All personnel who are 100 miles away from their place of residence are required to be issued a 'road guide' by the local yamen. If there is no 'guide' or there is no conformity, the crime shall be punished according to the law.

Time was limited, Gu Wenxuan didn't care about much nonsense, said goodbye, took the household registration book and waist card and went to the dart bureau alone to find someone.

The dart flag of the Shunyi Dart Bureau fluttered in the wind.

It was noon, and few people came in and out of the door.

Gu Wenxuan stepped into the gate, and there were three or five people in the courtyard who were busy making preparations before leaving.

He greeted each other as he walked inside.

Before he could take a few more steps, Yun Chengming, who was looking for him, strode out of the house faster than him.

"Is there a trip for tomorrow morning?" Yun Chengming slapped Gu Wenxuan on the shoulder, "Look at your little weak figure and scatter." Just two of you? ”

He was not as tall as him, and he boasted about it again. Gu Wenxuan laughed and urged him to punch, "When we have time, let's fight and see who breaks up first." Are you escorting this trip? ”

"Clever, just guess it. Which car do you want to ride? ”

"Brother Wang is not here?"

"You can do it, little Liuzi, don't accompany your brother to the rivers and lakes, Wang Mazi's carriage is not from our dart bureau, yes, I forgot that you are already a person with a daughter-in-law."

Who said you talk less.

"Wait, Wang Mazi—" Yun Chengming craned his neck and glanced, "there." Let's go, brother will accompany you, and we'll go together to do a road guide later. ”

Gu Wenxuan knew his good intentions.

Wang Mazi is a dart game to join with his own carriage.

Relatively speaking, the cost of riding his carriage is higher, but his carriage is not comparable to a small carriage.

The most important thing is that this person has rented a car since he was 16 years old, and now he is over 30 years old, and he still travels back and forth between the county and the city all year round.

It's not enough to know everything about the route and its surroundings.

Besides, everyone is an acquaintance, so how high can the cost be.

"Brother Wang."

"It's Rokuro, who should I be. You know, on weekdays, guests rent my carriage to go to Fucheng for at least two taels of silver, and you can give one or two or five dollars. ”

Yun Chengming didn't expect Wang Mazi to be so neat, but one or two or five dollars was already a real price. There is a way to go, and it is not good for him to bargain again.

"I'm just going to pull this button."

"Then one-two-"

"No need, if it's a brother, don't talk nonsense."
