Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Gu Erlang saw that Gu Wenxuan, as expected, hurriedly denied that he had any involvement in damaging the asparagus fern, and immediately turned the tables on him, which made him secretly happy.

If it wasn't his first time meeting this official, which could easily lead to misunderstandings, he would have wanted to laugh out loud at this moment, thinking that his silly brother was actually quite capable.

As for what to say to whom, this silly younger brother had already learned it all by himself. He said that among three brothers and sisters, his second brother was not the only one who was not good at speaking.

Not only could he get along well with the elderly former county magistrate over the dinner table, but he could also chat and laugh with the new county magistrate, who was his senior brother but he had only known him for a short time.

He is neither arrogant nor impatient, and knows how to play rogue when it is time to joke, which is more conducive to the close relationship between them. He knows how to control the situation better than the eldest brother.

Dad and Mom can really relax now. Liu Lang is not only good at studying, but he will also not be at a disadvantage when interacting with others. As long as he stops being stubborn, there will be nothing to worry about.

As they were thinking, the two of them were already joking with each other about how regretful it was that they were not in Beijing when their junior brothers and sisters were getting engaged.

Gu Erlang understood that they would soon get back to the point, and indeed soon, for in a moment, the two of them brought up the confiscation of assets.

The elder brother said that the county government was poor, and the younger brother then asked if he could help in any way, and the two began to whisper to each other.

Fortunately, he had already taken the opportunity to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings on the wall and retreated to the side of the bookcase and antique shelf, otherwise it would have been somewhat tactless and embarrassed his silly brother.

Do not!
nonsense!

Since Gu Wenxuan asked his elder brother to come along, he naturally had no intention of asking his elder brother to avoid him. Besides, what the two brothers were talking about was not a very confidential matter.

Could he say that he intentionally let his senior brother know the position of his elder brother in his heart? These cunning people really care too much about seeing with their own eyes rather than hearing.

For many so-called "truths", in front of these people, even if he said thousands of words, his actions could not indirectly confirm their authenticity.

In the words of his wife, smart people like to think a lot.

Fortunately, he is also a smart man in the eyes of his wife, so he can't help but think a lot, but, although not a master, for now, this senior brother still protects his shortcomings.

It can be heard that in the heart of his senior brother, for the time being, his junior brother is much more approachable than Cheng Xianyu, and he doesn't want him to be involved in anything that might offend others.

Even though Cheng Xianyu is a cousin of Master Cheng, and Master Cheng's words have been trustworthy time and again, his senior brother is still worried that he is trusting Cheng Xianyu too much.

Of course, his wife’s contribution is definitely indispensable here. After all, his wife’s master is the former Princess of Fu’an County, and she was once a close friend of this senior brother’s wife.

Don't give too much face to others, even if we only consider this old friendship, in the eyes of this senior brother, he should be much more important than the Cheng family brothers.

Just as he was about to propose to visit Mr. Tian on the pretext of the assets confiscated by the government, his senior brother flatly refused to let him lower his status and go to the Tian Mansion.

He didn't want anyone of noble status, and he was taught a lot of tricks on how to control merchants, and the methods used by noble families to win over merchants were taught to him.

If it weren't for time constraints, there would be nothing to do in the county government in the morning, but there might be official business to be handled in the afternoon. Gu Wenxuan believed that this person still had some experience to pass on to him.

Of course, he didn't say that he had things to deal with in the afternoon. What he said was that his junior sister was about to give birth, and he couldn't keep his junior brother who just got home after dark.

A person who is very good at talking.

Such a senior brother with good IQ, EQ, and family background, no matter what the purpose is, it is still very pleasant to get along with him. I had a simple meal here, which was really a simple meal. The dishes were very simple, and it was a lunch that was in line with the salary level of a county official.

After the meal, Gu Wenxuan didn't stay for long. They talked about jokes, business, and all sorts of topics. They even agreed on the next time they would meet.

Besides, his senior brother had just concluded the case of the former county lieutenant yesterday, and the soldiers sent by the Qianhu Camp had already withdrawn. The list of clerks and yamen runners that needed to be filled would have to be in place within the next two days.

For people like Ma Dazhuang and Gu Wenhua he brought with him, although they don't need his senior brother the county magistrate to be present in person to go through the employment procedures, as long as Master Qian shows up, it will be enough, but!

The final signature and seal of the official employment results, including the final results of the official employment of all other employees, also require the official seal of this county magistrate.

If these official matters were not handled in the afternoon, they would all be handled before leaving the government office tomorrow. Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that the other county magistrates and their chief clerks who were staying in the county government's official residences were also having lunch in their respective courtyards, Gu Wenxuan decisively pulled Gu Erlang away to avoid having to exchange pleasantries when they met on the road.

After leaving the county government residence, Gu Erlang finally found the opportunity to have a private conversation with his silly brother, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.

Although he still didn't know who the new county magistrate's grandfather was, he was still shocked when the princess was mentioned in their conversation at the dinner table.

By now, Gu Erlang already knew that Zhou Huan was the only surviving direct descendant of the Duke of Liang, and even heard about the true identity of Master Zhou Banxia with the arrival of Doctor Song.

For example, his sister-in-law's master is not considered a daughter of the Zhou family. Although her father's family is not as famous as her mother's family, it is also quite extraordinary.

Then there was the story of how his brother-in-law's master's paternal and maternal families were mortal enemies, and how they risked their lives and even lost the title of county lady to save their cousin, the only direct descendant of their maternal family.

Although Uncle Song was not a big talker, he was still very kind to his master, his uncle, and he talked about some old stories about his brother's wife, master and uncle.

No matter how strange his master's temper was, he never treated him as an outsider. He even treated him better than his own son and grandson, and trusted him more.

So he also heard some legends about the childhood of Princess Fu'an from his master. Could it be that the deceased Princess Fu'an and the mother of the county lord were old friends?

The Gu residence in the county town is not far from the county government office.

The east is rich and the west is noble.

If you take the county government official residence as the center, coming out of the county government official residence to the west, you will first pass the county school, and then go to Gu's house, which is only a stick of incense away on foot.

A carriage is much faster than walking.

Even if you pass through the commercial streets, the west side of the city is not like the east side of the city with many shops and pedestrians, so even if the carriage cannot go fast, it is still much faster than walking.

After passing the county school, I saw my house at the next intersection, and luckily no one with sharp eyes spotted my carriage, which led to our chance encounter halfway.

Gu Wenxuan originally wanted to wait until his two brothers entered his own house before discussing anything, but his eldest brother's expression was too unpredictable and vivid.

Look how suffocated you are.
