Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 899: The Past Resurfaces

Gu Erzhu felt that he seemed to have understood that his son's real intention this time was not to drink. Although Zhuangzi was rare, he was probably just after his craftsmanship.

Outsiders may not know, but how could he not know that his son and his young couple have employed more than a dozen people who do nothing but figure out how to improve the recipe they bought.

A dozen or so people were busy in the inner workshop of the front workshop. The door was guarded tightly and even Gu Dachang couldn't get in easily.

"I guess they all have their own skills. I don't want any of the famous masters. Those people won't have trouble finding a good employer. These six are relatively honest.

One of the families was driven out from the village of the Kiln Factory in the north of the city. They were originally farming in Huangjia Village, but I rescued them this time."

“Can you make bricks?”

Although Gu Erzhu asked the question, he was already extremely sure in his heart that the other party must have the skill of making bricks, and even tiles.

Otherwise, no matter how kind-hearted his San Ya is, his Liu Lang will not buy anyone from the Huang family’s farm, not considering that this time all the farms don’t want even the head of the farm.

His son Liu Lang was extremely suspicious, always fearing that the servants in his family would collude with outsiders. Before buying someone, he had repeatedly said that he could not buy someone from the local or neighboring county pawnshops.

瞅！
There was a picture of a brick kiln on the spread out paper. Gu Erzhu looked meaningfully at his old son who was standing beside the eight-immortals table, spreading out the paper and pressing it with a teacup.

"... As for these bricks and tiles, just like I said at the beginning, Dad, I want to give them to my father-in-law. Originally, I wanted to give this farm to my father-in-law—"

"Sanya doesn't agree?"

"Yes, my wife is not happy about it. She said her father would not want it. She has helped a lot. Now it depends on how Dajiang can support the family."

As expected of San Ya, she is a good kid with a very good brain! Gu Erzhu couldn't help but smile, "It's not that Dad is afraid that San Ya will love her mother's family and make you suffer.

To be honest, with San Ya's ability, even if she gave half of our family fortune to her parents' home, your mother and I would not worry that you and your wife would be short of money.

Your Yue family has reached this point, it is time for Dajiang to take the lead. Xiaohe is still young, and only when Dajiang stands up can the Zhou family truly prosper.

Whatever you two want to help, need to help, and can help with, you should only do it in private, otherwise it will not be a good thing to let Dajiang be inferior to Sanya.

As a human being, you all want to save face. You still have a long life ahead of you. If Dajiang is accused of relying on his third sister in the future, he will feel uncomfortable if he hears it too much.

Let’s not talk about your uncle, let’s just talk about Lord Zhao. His current situation is due to the efforts of his third brother who risked his life for him. But would he think like this?

Even if he didn't say it, his father could see that he was very unhappy to hear anyone mention his third brother's contributions. He still felt that he had made it through his own abilities.

Dad just remembers that he used your success in winning the top three prizes to talk about how hard he studied. If dad hadn't interrupted him, he might have even told you how to marry his wife.

He feels that he has been wronged for a long time. Even now that he is a minister, he is still suppressed by the Yue family. What is he laughing at? "Before Gu Erzhu finished speaking, he saw his eldest son laughing.

"I suddenly remembered what our old grandfather said, about how it was the eldest brother of the Zhao family's turn to become an official. Dad, were you and the eldest brother Zhao very close before?"

Gu Erzhu was stunned for a moment, then he covered his face with his hands and laughed. It turned out that the old man had really predicted Boss Zhao's temperament. Alas, what a fate this man has.

"We are very close, but we are okay. I am best friends with your Uncle Zhao. You can go to your place and find Uncle Zhao. As long as he is around, he will come out and chat with me. He is not like your grandfather said, he can't handle things, he is just too spoiled. He is also a scholar, he never puts down his old books, he looks like a girl.

No matter who he met and wanted to say hello to, his face would turn red before he even said anything, but at that time, he was still very sincere and well-mannered.

For example, your grandfather hid the fact that he proposed marriage to your uncle from me. Afterwards, I went to his house to apologize to your Grandpa Zhao, and it was he who helped me out.

Before I could say anything, your Grandpa Zhao dragged me into the yard. He came out of the study as usual and took me to his study without saying anything unpleasant.

At that time, he had already won the top three prizes in the imperial examinations. Even Uncle Zhao was annoyed that your grandfather was not sincere in proposing marriage to your uncle, which was partly because he had always wanted me to be his brother-in-law.

So I remembered the kindness of their family and never went to the Zhao family again. Even when your Uncle Zhao San came to see me, I avoided him. After I married your mother, we had even less contact.

It's been more than 20 years since we last saw each other. When I saw your Uncle Zhao again, I almost didn't recognize him. He had gained a lot of weight and looked like two men taller than he used to. He didn't look like he used to.

At that time, he was the most outstanding one in his family, almost the same age as Dajiang today. Your uncle Zhao and I used to joke that his elder brother was born as a boy by mistake.

Unlike now, when he smiles, you can hardly see his eyes. Tsk, so ugly. But I heard him say that he is feeling much better now, and he no longer drinks medicine in the cold weather. "

Gu Wenxuan had long known that his father was a complete face control, but he was also amused by the disgusted frown on his face when his father said "so ugly".

The difference between the before and after was so huge that he couldn't help but suspect that the one his father wanted to say was ugly was not Boss Zhao, but the second aunt of the Zhao family.

"Dad, their family originally wanted to marry Aunt Zhao to you?"

Gu Erzhu really didn't want to mention this matter, but this time in the capital, Zhao Laosi's big mouth said in front of his in-laws and the younger generations of the Zhao family that he was almost his brother-in-law.

In order to avoid misunderstanding among the next generation, who might think that he has an affair with the Zhao family's daughter, it is better to make it clear. Look, the oldest son has already guessed who it is.

"Let me tell you about this. Before your uncle Zhao won the imperial examination, your uncle Zhao San had a favorite girl, and the two families had originally agreed to marry each other.

Later, from what your Uncle Zhao said, the woman's side felt that your Uncle Zhao had married a rich girl, so they asked for a huge gift for the bride price, and the marriage was not concluded.

Before this, your Second Aunt Zhao and that girl were best friends. If your Third Uncle Zhao wanted to see that girl, he would coax your Second Aunt Zhao to go find that girl and would not forget to drag me along.

I'm not as quick-witted as your Uncle Zhao, but I often hear Uncle Zhao praising you, Aunt Zhao, in front of me, and I can see that your Aunt Zhao is somewhat interested in me.

At that time, your uncle Zhao had not yet won the top three honors in the imperial examination, and it was almost before the county examination. It was said that our family was of comparable financial status to the Zhao family, but in fact, there was a big gap.

As for your Grandpa Zhao, he was very similar to your father-in-law. He had already hooked up with Master Wu from Taoist Qingfeng, but he kept it a secret.

Even though the family was not very wealthy at that time, they should have enough money to buy ten acres of land. He just wanted to save the money and wait for your uncle Zhao to pass the imperial examination before buying the land.

Unlike our family, I can barely afford to support your uncle's studies alone, so I don't have the time to dwell on romance. Besides, you, Aunt Zhao San, are not the type I want to find.

It's not her looks, it's her brains. When she gets excited, she doesn't care about anything and just does it. She's always crazy and doesn't act like a girl."
