Gu Mingda thought, anyway, he could find something for his mother to do. The old lady had so much energy but didn't know where to put it, so he might as well be the first buyer.

He had no idea that what he said casually at this moment would actually be of great help in the future.

"Mom, when you have some free time, you can check out the prices of various items at the market... I vaguely heard someone say before that we should collect these things, waiting for them to come in handy in the future."

Old Mrs. Gu swept away her previous dejection and said, "No matter what price this person offers, I will do it! Isn't it just to check the price? I promise to do it well!"

While they were talking, the gate of the Gu family's courtyard was suddenly knocked again.

Gu Mingda graduated from high school today, and most of his relatives and friends in Beijing have sent people to congratulate him. The Gu family didn't know who these people were for a moment.

Qi Dashan, who went to open the door, was also confused when he came back to report.

"Master, a man named Wang He came to visit you. He was not well dressed, but he said he was an old acquaintance of yours." Qi Dashan said honestly.

Qi Dashan had been serving in the Gu family for quite a long time, so he naturally knew what kind of people came and went in the Gu family. He rarely saw visitors like Wang He who did not look particularly respectable.

Gu Mingda thought about it briefly and remembered who this person was. He said, "Please ask him to come in."

As soon as Wang He entered the room, he smiled and bowed to Gu Mingda: "Master Gu, congratulations! Master Gu, congratulations!"

Wang He was wearing a gray-brown short-sleeved shirt, and his exposed arms were tanned. His eye sockets were sunken and bloodshot, and he looked like he was not in good condition recently.

Gu Mingda looked at him deeply, skipped the greetings, and said, "Since you are here, you must have something to ask for. Why don't you just say it."

Wang He's mouth was full of bitterness, but this was not the time to show off. He said, "When I was on the boat before, I was ambitious and thought I had some experience and could make a big splash in the capital. But I didn't expect that the capital is so complicated and it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people without a backer to survive here."

Gu Mingda nodded and said, "There are so many dignitaries coming and going in the capital, even if a tile falls, the person who gets hit may be wearing an official hat. Since you said so, did you offend someone?"

Wang He said, "Your Excellency may not know that I brought a large group of brothers with me. I originally thought that since I have some martial arts skills, I could open a martial arts school or escort agency. However, we only let the news out and had not even chosen an address when someone came to challenge us. I was defeated and then I thought about doing something else."

"We outsiders are like being watched. No matter what we do, people come to disrupt us. Even when we do hard labor at the dock with our brothers, we are driven away... and we can't get paid..."

When Wang He said this, his eyes suddenly turned red, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot during this period.

Gu Mingda saw that he was young and said, "You are just being targeted."

Wang He was stunned, opened his mouth wide, and looked at Gu Mingda at a loss.

"But...we haven't offended anyone. Is it just because we are outsiders? This doesn't make sense!" Wang He said.

He had previously brought a group of poor people on board and took a big bite of the meat from the gentlemen living in the upper-class rooms. He thought everything was so simple, but he didn't expect that after only staying in the capital for more than a month, all his money was spent, people's hearts were scattered, and many brothers ran away. Now the number of people following him has been reduced from dozens at the beginning to only six now.

"Most likely it's someone you offended on the ship," said Gu Mingda.

Wang He suddenly felt bitter and muttered, "We just got the silver we deserved, but we are still hated by others? That little money should be a drop in the bucket for those masters on the ship!"

Gu Mingda sighed and said, "If they really didn't care about this little money, why would they have to make a scene to get the money?"

Wang He's eyes turned red with anger when he heard this: "How can there be such a person who is rich but unkind..."

Gu Mingda said softly: "In this world, there are many people who hold grudges for no reason, not to mention those who hold grudges for no reason. Now do you know who is watching you?"

Wang He shook his head. Gu Mingda said, "If you know nothing, then I don't know how to help you."

When Wang He heard this, his face turned pale.

Old Mrs. Gu couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw the good young man in such a state, but she didn't dare to interrupt and influence her son's judgment.

Niuniu, on the other hand, helped others based on her likes and dislikes. She threw herself on Gu Mingda and said, "Daddy, can you help me think of a solution?"

Upon hearing this, Wang He looked at Gu Mingda expectantly.

Gu Mingda said, "If I don't know who you are offending, it would not be a good idea for me to help you rashly."

Wang He's face suddenly became depressed, and Niu Niu also became dejected.

Gu Mingda continued, "I'll help you think of a way to find out who you've provoked as soon as possible."

Wang He's eyes lit up immediately. After listening to Gu Mingda's detailed explanation, Wang He immediately bowed and said, "Master Gu, you are so kind and virtuous. Wang He will remember it in his heart. If you have any orders in the future, Wang He will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

After Wang He left, Gu Mingda turned around, picked up Niuniu, and asked, "Do you like this brother very much?"

Niuniu nodded, with some hesitation on her face. Before Gu Mingda could ask, Niuniu said, "I should be able to tell Daddy the secrets that Mom knows."

Gu Mingda looked confused.

After a moment, the little girl leaned close to his ear and whispered, "It's a sister, not a brother."

Gu Mingda's expression was blank for a moment. He recalled Wang He's figure and accent just now. He was obviously a man, how could he be a woman?

"Sister is not a bad person." Niu Niu said again.

Gu Mingda smiled and said, "Okay, since Niuniu likes her, I will try my best to take care of her."

Niuniu immediately flattered him: "Daddy is the best!"

After becoming the top scorer in high school, the Gu family received numerous invitations to banquets. Gu Mingda only attended a few that he had to attend and declined all the others.

There was a post, and after hesitating for a long time, Gu Mingda decided to respond.

"Although there were some conflicts between the Xianguo Mansion and our family in the past, we have now reconciled. Qin Jing is also a person worth making friends with. Since they have sent us an invitation, we should go and take a look." Gu Mingda persuaded his wife.

Zhang Yunniang was easy to talk to: "Other people in the Duke Xian's Mansion have their eyes on the top of their heads, but Qin Jing is a good person. It's just that mother and father may not be willing to go."

Sure enough, Mrs. Gu shook her head like a rattle: "I won't go. I won't look at the lady's face!"

Gu Mingda did not force it. This post was to invite the entire Gu family, and he also posted an extra post for Niu Niu.

The post to the Gu family was written by Qin Jing, and the post to Niu Niu was written by Qin Jingshu.

Niuniu held the post and said, "I want to go! Jingshu is my good friend!"
