Chapter Eighty-Eight: An Extraordinary New Year (I)

Today's matter, Gu Ming can't blame Xia Lang too much, he can only blame himself for being nosy and asking for trouble.

I just wanted to see the "female ghost" with a beautiful singing voice, but I didn't expect to cause these things, and my task was delayed.

Your sister, you didn't look at the yellow calendar when you went out?!

Something doesn't go your way!

Forget it, forget it, let's drink with my brother!

Gu Ming's proposal was exactly what Xia Lang meant.

The two hit it off, hooked their shoulders and went in the direction of the Star Picking Tower.

......

After three rounds of drinking, Gu Ming was once again poetic on the star-picking tower, standing on the roof, chanting loudly.

Singing when you get it, and resting when you lose it, and being sad and hateful is also leisurely.

There is wine today, drunk today, and sorrow tomorrow comes.

Don't ask the young man how ambitious he is, and he swears without Wu Hook.

Not for the beauty of the country, go to his mother's Lu Shaoyou.

Xia Lang laughed and clapped his hands in agreement.

Yes, yes, yes, fuck Lu Shaoyou!

Ha, ha, ha!

Hurry, hurry!

The two clinked glasses and drank it all.

How to solve the problem?

Friends, roast chicken, wine!

It's enough!

All three, beautiful!

Get drunk with you!

A drunk relieves a thousand sorrows!

Gu Ming was full of wine and food today, and he drank very happily.

Of course, he puffed out not only his belly, but also his wallet.

Things in the world are often like this, lost in the east and harvested.

Originally, I took the task because of lack of money, and I met Xia Lang when I was doing the task, and I was accidentally disturbed by Xia Lang, and I couldn't get paid if I failed the task.

What an inspirational and poignant story it was, but after a drink, it turned into a good thing!

In the midst of the staggering, after learning that Gu Ming actually went to take on such a "lowly" task because he had no money for alchemy, he smiled back and forth.

Just when Gu Ming was embarrassed, Xia Lang took out a brocade bag from the Qiankun bag and threw it into Gu Ming's arms.

Knowing that Xia Lang was going to fund himself again, he originally planned to shirk it, but then his senior brother's words dispelled his concerns.

You must know that although the Luofu Sword Sect is gone, and most of the inheritance and materials have also been "swallowed" by the Mochizuki Sword Sect, the sect inheritance is still there, and there are still a few things that remain in the hands of Mo Wentian, the "original head", for the reason of "personal property".

Don't underestimate this "small part", it doesn't sound like much, but you must know that with the Luofu Sword Sect as the foundation of the sect that has been inherited for thousands of years, even if it is one-tenth of the material, the value is absolutely immeasurable.

In Xia Lang's words, in this Moon Sword Sect, except for the head, no one is richer than our master.

According to Xia Lang's words, even if everyone is working hard now, maybe one day the Luofu Sword Sect will be broken.

There is nothing more painful in the world than when people are gone, and money has not been spent.

We can't afford to be cheap.

"Brother Ming, even if you spend, it's not enough for me to ask the master again, even if the master is an iron rooster, there is a way to get him off for my brother!"

This is Xia Lang's original words!

Although it sounded very touching to Gu Ming, he always felt that something was weird, looking at the smooth white chopped chicken on the small square table, it didn't taste as fragrant as just now.

......

Since receiving Xia Lang's funding, Gu Ming's financial pressure has been greatly relieved all of a sudden.

This allowed him to plunge headlong into the world of alchemy without any worries.

Because he was in a happy mood, the effect of his alchemy naturally increased.

Both the alchemy efficiency and the success rate were much higher than usual, and by constantly squandering the materials, his alchemy experience rose so fast.

If he hadn't been thinking about going home to accompany his grandfather for the New Year, Gu Ming's retreat would have lasted until the beginning of spring next year.

With a happy mood, Gu Ming came to Lin Ziqian's hall, bowed to his master for an early age, and prepared to ask for leave to go home by the way.

Lin Ziqian naturally would not prevent his disciples from going home to honor their elders.

After asking a few words about the disciple's experience in alchemy during this period of time, he touched Gu Ming's head with some relief, and chuckled: "People who cultivate the truth are generally not worldly festivals, but after all, you have set foot on the path of cultivation for less than a year, and it is natural for you to have this thought." ”

"For the sake of your filial piety and hard work on weekdays, as a teacher, you will be allowed a seven-day vacation, and you can go home for the New Year!"

Gu Ming said goodbye to his master with joy, and rushed back to his hometown in Dashishan overnight that day.

......

This year has been an extraordinary year for Li Laohan.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, he excitedly pulled up Gu Ming, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, and his face was about to laugh.

He kept looking at the grandson in front of him, who was not his own son, but was even more well-behaved than his own grandson, and was very happy, and kept saying: "Happy New Year! Happy New Year! As long as everyone is here, this New Year will be fine!"

The young man he treated became his grandson, the mountain man, and the mountain man became the immortal master Gu Ming, and then Gu Ming brought back the dog leftovers, and bought this big stone mountain within a radius of 100 miles and turned it into his own industry.

Looking at this new house, which is many times larger than the original broken thatched house, the old man has always felt that he is living in a dream.

......

Since Gu Ming had become a little more generous at hand, many things that he originally wanted to put aside for a while could suddenly be implemented in advance.

He took advantage of the New Year's holidays to run around and do a lot of things.

First of all, it was troublesome for the shopkeeper Fan of Guanlan Pavilion to find two servants for the family, mainly to do housework and take care of his grandfather's daily life.

Although Li Laohan's body is still quite tough, after all, he is old, and although the dog is diligent, after all, his hands and feet are somewhat inconvenient, and this family always has some strength to take care of.

The most important thing is that he is also a "landlord", and he doesn't even have a call under his hands, but it makes people suspicious, and Li Laohan also agrees with this.

The old man's idea is very ordinary and simple, after all, his grandson is promising, how can a person with status be left unserved, the more people who serve, the bigger the pomp, the more he can show the extraordinaryness of his grandson.

Looking at the new servants who were busy coming in and out, although Li Laohan was not very accustomed to it, he was also able to enjoy himself.

Only the dog has been trembling for the past few days, and he has stopped talking when he sees Gu Ming several times.

I'm afraid I can't stay in this home!

This is the most direct idea of the dog leftover.

Think about it, I am a cripple, and I am a sinner who betrayed Lu Sheng, people did not blame, but saved themselves, they have already repaid their grievances with virtue, what are you doing here, it is better to find a chance to leave!

Originally, Gu Ming had never asked Gou Yu to clarify his thoughts, he wanted to tease this former "friend", but seeing that this kid had been a lot haggard these days, he was a little embarrassed in his heart, and found an opportunity to "showdown" with him.

When Gu Ming said that he would not let Gou Yu leave alone, Gou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and tears slowly overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

But then Gu Ming said that in view of his current situation, it was naturally not appropriate for him to be a servant, and the dog's remaining heart immediately hung again.

Gu Ming pretended to be thoughtful, and after pretending to be silent for a long time in the anxious injection of Gou Yu, he made the final arrangements for Gou Yu.

Trainee housekeeper!

Gou Yu couldn't believe his ears.

Can a waste man like me be a housekeeper?

Seeing the doubts of the dog, Gu Ming smiled and asked, "In addition to the housekeeper's work that only uses his mouth and does not need to use his hands, is there anything else that you need to do in this house?"

"I, I, I won't be in charge, butler!"

The dog was so nervous that he stuttered a little.

"Hehe, haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run?"

Gu Ming understood the dog's apprehension, and continued to enlighten him: "You have been in Qiu Mansion for a few years, and you also know how housekeepers like Qiu Da manage people, you just follow it!"

"Oh! There is one thing I want to remind you first, you are a housekeeper, you can't beat and scold the servants in the house!

"Really, let, let me do, tube, housekeeper?"

"Really!" Gu Ming was categorical.

"I, I, can't do it, what if I can't do it?"

Gu Ming didn't want to talk nonsense with the dog anymore, this guy was hypocritical, and said angrily: "You can't do this job well, then you can go to the door and lie on my stomach for me, and be a watchdog!

Originally, it was Gu Ming's angry words, but he didn't expect that Gou Yu would laugh when he heard the words as if he had been amnestied, and said with a simple smile: "Okay! As long as I can stay in this house, I can do whatever I want Gou Yu to do!"

However, in the end, Gou Yu still did not become the housekeeper of the Li Mansion.

Oh, to be precise, the Li Mansion doesn't have a housekeeper named Gou Yu.

The new housekeeper of the Li Mansion is surnamed Li, and his name is Wangcai.

Li Wangcai, this is the current name of the dog.

The dog is an orphan, originally had no surname, according to the rules, into the family mansion, the housekeeper will generally change the surname of the master, in order to express his determination to serve the lord faithfully.

And the name Wangcai was given to him by Gu Ming.

Gu Ming took such a name full of evil taste for Gou Yu, which literally means that the family is prosperous and wealthy, and the meaning after the name is naturally only known to Gu Ming himself, of course, he also avenged Lu Sheng for the "one-arrow revenge" of the dog Yu betraying his friend.

Anyway, this New Year, Gou Yu has been given a new lease of life!

Oh no, it's time to call Li Wangcai!

Li Wangcai thanked him again and again with gratitude, and happily "took office."

......

The New Year is approaching, and every household in Jiangcheng is lit up, and it is a lively scene, but the Qiu Mansion, which is the family of Jiangcheng, is not in this mood.

After receiving the news from the flying pigeon at home, Qiu Wude asked his master for three days off on the grounds that the New Year was approaching and he wanted to go home to visit his parents, and hurried back to Jiangcheng.

I saw him walking briskly through the main entrance and the front hall, and the servants passing by saluted one after another, but he was not even in the mood to take care of it, and walked like a fly to the study in the backyard.

The door to the study was closed, and Ju Wude stopped in front of the door and knocked lightly.

Replacing him was Qiu Zhongfeng, who had a serious face.

Without waiting for Qiu Zhongfeng to speak, Qiu Wude took the lead in asking.

"Has the eldest sister arrived?"

Qiu Zhongfeng nodded, and welcomed Qiu Wude into the room.

The guards who guarded the study on weekdays had retreated, and there was no one living within ten zhang of the study, and naturally no outsiders knew what the Qiu family was planning in the study.

The more this happens, the more serious the situation feels.

Qiu Fu is a little more clever and knows that something must be happening, as for when it is and what the content of the matter is, no one knows and dare not ask.

This is destined to be an extraordinary new year.
