The "Uncle Sun" Gu Wenxuan mentioned was Gu Wencan's father-in-law and the direct uncle of the Zhao brothers. This suddenly stumped Zhao Sanlang.
How to fight?
Why are you arguing? Do it!
Looking at the two people joking and quarreling, Zhao Dalang couldn't help laughing for a while. In order to avoid being "brought to the innocent" by these two people, he did not dare to drink tea with a tea cup.
To be honest, Gu Liulang is not difficult to deal with. He is also Xiao Sanyuan. He still remembers that when he was a child, his uncle had always been superior.
Unlike Gu Liulang who can talk to everyone, in the words of his uncle - "Gu Liulang is the scholar who least puts on airs I have ever seen."
yes.
The son resembles the father.
The second uncle of the Gu family (Gu Erzhu) has not always been the same. Uncle Erzhu is him, Master Wu is him, Second Master Gu is him, and now Master Gu is still him.
Even now in the city, Uncle Gu can still lift up the hem of his uniform, sit in a greasy stall, drink haggis soup with the coachmen, and talk happily.
Who wouldn't say that Mr. Wu is a particular person who never forgets the past when he is prosperous, so it is fitting that his ancestral graves are smoking green. Even his father said that Uncle Gu is used to being a good person.
When the Zhao family got up, many of their relatives came to seek benefits, but only Uncle Gu, who was best friends with his third uncle, did not take any advantage.
It's not that his third uncle is rich and disrespectful and doesn't want to promote his good brother, but his second uncle doesn't want to drag his good brother down. When his third uncle went to Fucheng, second uncle Gu never came to visit him again.
Second Uncle Gu is a man with a lot of backbone. Even if his father sent an invitation to Uncle Gu when he got married, Uncle Gu was still too polite.
Afterwards, there were happy events in the Gu family but he never informed his father. There were always people who used Uncle Gu's name to find his father and wanted to do something. After Uncle Gu found out about it, the two families got closer.
It's a pity that things went against his wishes. Despite all the calculations by his third uncle, the second uncle Gu still didn't get any benefits from his Zhao family. He was rejected by his parents and brothers and was separated from the family.
When Uncle Gu finally separated and separated, there was no need for his third uncle, a good brother, to help him. In his father's words, Uncle Gu was very prosperous!
In the blink of an eye, someone has just been sent to deliver a letter to the third uncle. The third uncle has not received the letter yet. Not only has the second uncle moved to the greenhouse, but when the third uncle replies, the spicy food comes out!
He didn't talk about trying to win over a good brother, but it was Second Uncle Gu who made a lot of money from Third Uncle's connections, so much so that even his clever second brother wanted to help Si Liulang.
No, now I was joking with Liulang, and said that being a clerk in a yamen sounds good, but the salary is only six taels of silver a year, which is not enough to buy a few taels of good tea.
Our family is short of your money?
Zhao Dalang was about to quickly interrupt the conversation and bring up business when he heard the footsteps of servants approaching from outside. He was so happy that he quickly reminded him that someone was coming in.
Zhao Sanlang was interrupted by his elder brother in the middle of his words and could not continue. However, Gu Wenxuan felt bad and refused to respond, so he smiled and said, "How about tea?"
He is not an outsider. If he has any good tea that he likes, he can just take it away later. If he is busy talking, he will have lunch first, and then invite them to the study to chat slowly.
The implication was that there was still good tea in the study, so he went back to pick up two cans and take them back, which made Zhao Sanlang dumbfounded and quickly said that he might have to go to the Yamen as an errand in the afternoon.
"It doesn't matter, let's talk about the afternoon business after noon. Let's fill our stomachs first. If you are afraid of delaying the business, at most just don't drink. It's too late."
With that said, Gu Wenxuan stood up and made a gesture to invite the two Zhao brothers, and together they moved to the side room where the food and drinks were already placed on the large round table. The food served by the Gu family is quite good.
In this season when the only fresh vegetables are Chinese cabbage stored in the cellar, there are garlic eggplant, emerald cucumber rolls, stir-fried vegetable shreds, and spinach meatball soup.
There are also roast duck with sliced skin, crucian carp with bean paste, braised pork knuckle, spicy belly, sweet vinegar pork loin, tofu soup, sweet stew soup...
Cold, hot, sweet, salty, spicy and crispy, there is a table full of them, with all kinds of colors, flavors and flavors, but compared with what the Gu family eats at the Zhao family?
Except for a few dishes that are not seasonal fresh vegetables, they are not necessarily much richer than what I eat every time I go to Zhao's house. Someone is a good steward of the house.
What he said to him was not that of an outsider, it was just commonplace. He had nothing to say at the dinner table and was very honest about it.
After picking out some things that could be said, Gu Wenxuan told the truth when Zhao Dalang asked bluntly about the origin of the new county magistrate.
It has nothing to do with the two brothers from the Zhao family at the dinner table. Comparatively speaking, he prefers to associate with Zhao Dalang. As time goes by, the origin of his senior brother cannot be hidden from Mr. Zhao, nor from Mr. Zhao's Yue family.
"I only know that our county magistrate is from the south. He should be a student from Qingshan Academy. I don't know which year he was a Jinshi.
I only learned from my husband’s letter two days ago that this county magistrate is the second son of my husband’s classmate’s friend. After all, I still call him senior brother.
I originally wanted to visit in the past two days, but many people came to me for no apparent reason and wanted me to ask Mr. Cheng to say a few kind words to the county magistrate.
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)
This is something I dare to help with. Not to mention that my husband is in poor health and retired early to recuperate at home. Mr. Cheng is just the county magistrate in charge of the county school.
Not to mention that I was just lucky enough to be taught by Master Cheng. If I really dared to say to Master Cheng that Captain Huang was wronged, it would be strange if he didn't kick me out immediately! ”
As he said that, Gu Wenxuan just shook his head, "But it's so difficult, and it's a coincidence. My father and my father-in-law happen to be not at home. I don't understand what's going on here.
In addition, the people who came to see me were all acquaintances, many of whom were elders. They would not look up when they looked down, so I had no choice but to ask the concierge to tell me that I was not at home anymore.
In this situation, there are still people who don't give up and go to the town hospital to see my elder brother. My elder brother tried to persuade me, but I can't help but dare not go out. I really can't help.
Not to mention that Mr. Cheng is either a county magistrate or a county magistrate. This is not something I can interfere with. I still don’t know how much I weigh. They think too highly of me! ”
"It's too strong and it's difficult for others!" Zhao Dalang looked at Gu Wenxuan who was talking about the food and said with sympathy, "These days, I don't dare to go out."
Zhao Sanlang finally thought about Gu Wenxuan's words and sorted out what he should ask next. He was about to take over the conversation when he didn't wait for him to speak a step later. Even though he had a lot of knots in his heart, this time The child was still amused by his elder brother's sentimental words.
"What are you enjoying?" Zhao Dalang glanced at Zhao Sanlang, "You go to the other side of the Yamen every day, but my father and I didn't dare to tell you because we were worried about you. I was so worried at home.
Unfortunately, my father and I can't let the concierge say he's not at home. It doesn't matter if the three of us don't go there for two months. We have to go to the store to look around, but no matter which store we are in, we will definitely be found..." (End of Chapter)
