Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 827 The world is bustling, everyone is here for profit

"The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit; the world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit." Besides, the shopkeeper Wang and his wife are good people, so Gu Wenxuan is not surprised by this.

Manager Wang has reached his current position. Although, due to various reasons, he does not have much personal assets in his name, it is enough to live a worry-free life.

Looking at Manager Wang's words and actions, his mentality is different from that of ordinary family-born sons who are willing to be slaves for generations and just want to enjoy the shade under a big tree. What else does he want?
Since he had the opportunity to allow his son to be freed from slavery and study at the Gao family school, why didn't he send his son to Yunke to learn accounting so that he could follow in his father's footsteps?
He simply wanted his son to achieve fame and success.

His wife had indeed considered the issue of Wang's son's education earlier. Although she couldn't help him much, she could still lend a hand by recommending him to take the entrance examination for Jingshan Academy.

Of course, whether he could be admitted to Jingshan Academy as he wished depended on his academic level. Even if Uncle Cheng favored him and his wife, there was no reason for him to ignore the rules and regulations of the academy.

After discussing this matter, I wonder if Shopkeeper Wang has now learned the true identity of his newly appointed senior brother, or perhaps it is because of the presence of Doctor Song.

Gu Wenxuan had never heard Manager Wang mention his senior brother who was now the most influential figure in Qingyang County. Even at the following dinner table, he did not mention him at all.

Zhiming was very efficient. Not only did he quickly prepare the banquet, but his elder brother Gu Erlang also rushed back from the Ma family in time before long.

Unlike his "poor drinking habit", most people drink tea instead of wine. When his elder brother comes back, the atmosphere at the table reaches a new level of liveliness.

The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

After the banquet, it was really late.

After Doctor Song and Manager Wang checked into the guest house and settled down, Gu Wenxuan quickly mentioned three things to Gu Erlang while they were on their way back to their respective houses.

The first was the issue of the future retirement of Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, which was mentioned by Patriarch Gu, caused by the farce between the eldest and fourth houses during the day.

Gu Wenxuan didn't know whether his elder brother had heard his elder sister-in-law mention that Xiaotian and Xiaofang were fighting when he was at the Ma family, so he just made a brief comment.

In addition, the second thing is that as agreed last night, his elder brother would select the fields, farms and shops according to the list he made.

As for the silver, there is no rush. After all, we have to wait until the county government opens tomorrow before we can go to the government office to handle the transfer.

Now we have just picked out the target, and then we will have to see if there are any overlapping properties when each company is selecting. At that time, we will have to negotiate again to confirm the payment and transfer.

The last thing is, and it is also the most important thing. Has his elder brother already asked for leave today? Can he have a day off tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow?

"the day after tomorrow."

Gu Erlang gave an answer promptly.

In fact, he could also choose to take a day off tomorrow, but the county court would be in session tomorrow. It would be fine to watch the fun, but he wouldn't be able to do any real work.

Besides, there was no rush to fill the two vacancies of the county yamen runners tomorrow. Especially since it would be an extra trip, it would be better to go the day after tomorrow.

"My Yue family has Brother Da Hu. Before I came back tonight, I heard him say that he came to our house during the day and told you that it was either him or Brother Er Hu?
The brothers have decided to go tonight, and Dahu will go. When I came back, my mother-in-law saw me off for a while and gave your sister-in-law several banknotes in front of me."

Gu Wenxuan was about to nod to show that Ma Dahu had indeed come during the day and said those words, when he heard his elder brother mention the banknotes his mother-in-law had stuffed into his pocket without taking a breath. "Don't worry, it's not a thank-you gift to you and your wife. It's your sister-in-law and her parents who told you and your wife that you wanted to take this opportunity to let me and your wife buy a shop and land.

My mother-in-law said it would be a shame to let you two young people pay for it, so let your sister-in-law take it first, and use as much as she wants. If there is any left, you can return it to her when the head is loose.

It is said that the two thousand silver coins were given to her and her husband, and my brother-in-law and the others don’t know about it, so let your sister-in-law keep it for her and her husband first.”

Gu Wenxuan shook his head and smiled, "Received it?"

"No."

"I guess after what Auntie Ma said, you will not let your sister-in-law accept it. It would be better not to tell Brother Dahu and the others that they don't know about this money, and even your sister-in-law won't accept it, right?"

That’s the truth!

His wife was really afraid that if her mother let the secret slip one day and her brother, sister-in-law, nephew or others heard it, she might not be able to explain away the two thousand taels of silver.

Gu Erlang couldn't help laughing, and patted his brother's shoulder, "You are so smart! You and your wife can pay for the money our parents gave us first, I already have enough money here."

After hearing what he said, Gu Wenxuan didn't mention it anymore. He and his wife would just pay for it first. If there was not enough when the house was bought and the property was transferred, they could talk about it later.

This is not a big problem. No matter whether it is his eldest brother or his eldest sister-in-law, neither of them is the kind of person who borrows money and does not pay it back.

Instead, "Do you have the list with you?" Although Gu Wenxuan asked his elder brother in a tone like that, his hand had already been stretched out, asking his elder brother to take it out quickly.

I have been standing at the fork in the road leading to the East Courtyard and the West Courtyard for a while, considering that Zhou Banxia is very likely to wait for Gu Wenxuan to return to his room before going to bed.

So, seeing this, Gu Erlang did not deny it and immediately reached into his inner pocket, took out a piece of rice paper folded into a square, and placed it directly on Gu Wenxuan's palm.

"It's all marked above, remember, it can be less, not more. There is still a long time to go, and it's a good thing that the Tian family can come forward now, so you must not act rashly."

Otherwise, how could it be said that none of his three brothers and sisters had a low IQ? Just before, Shopkeeper Wang mentioned at the dinner table that he was invited to visit the Tian Mansion, and his eldest brother heard it.

"If you think that it will cause trouble to your brother and sister-in-law if you discuss everything with them at this time, you should take everything to heart and think it over carefully.

You must never let others praise you too much and let you become complacent and forget who you are. It is important for people to know themselves. You must know that a small fortune of three yuan is not enough for you to be proud of.

I am not trying to dampen your love as your elder brother. Think more about Mr. Zhao. He is a real Jinshi. How much weight does he have in the eyes of the rich and powerful?"

He was even promoted to the position of Vice Minister of Works, but look at what our parents wrote in their letters: Lord Zhao was very sympathetic and met us in a friendly manner that same night?
It's obviously a compliment, but on the other hand it means that in the eyes of your uncle Qi and the others, even if Lord Zhao is the Minister of Works, he is not good enough for them to look at him differently.

It was just that it was difficult to say these words, even though the servant was standing far away. Gu Erlang didn't know whether his brother understood the implication of his words.

Seeing his silly brother nodding his head hurriedly, he felt very upset, "You are in the best period of your fortune now, but you still need to continue to cultivate yourself and be self-disciplined.

There are many things that you can't say now, just like the old man and the others, you can't control them, I will take care of it, all right, go back to your room and rest."
