"Hey, this is the restaurant run by Daya's family. It's really grand." Village Chief He's family were the first to come to congratulate him, apart from Gu Jinli's family.

He woke up the whole family before dawn, and after a hurried breakfast, he asked He Tongsheng to go to the village to keep an eye on them. After seeing Gu Dashan's family leaving the village, he brought his whole family here.

He Tongsheng was very depressed because of this and complained: "Grandpa will only assign me. Today is the winter solstice. It's freezing to death. Wouldn't you feel bad if I got cold?"

Village Chief He chuckled: "I don't feel bad. You're so bad at studying. You won't be able to shine in this life. It depends on your eldest brother. He can't be sick. He will take the county examination in February next year."

He Tongsheng was about to cry, his heart was too biased.

Fortunately, He Jinsheng loved his younger brother and comforted He Tongsheng: "The eldest brother is useless. He will only study hard in his life. The family relies on Tongsheng's help to live smoothly."

He Tongsheng was immediately happy and felt that he was particularly useful.

Village Chief He had no time to listen to the two brothers praising each other, and told He Dacang's wife: "Take good care of your mother at home. Remember to follow what Xiaoyu girl said, help your mother up and walk for half an hour. Don't look at the cold weather. You're too lazy, this is about your mother's life."

Village Chief He has a wife, but his old wife is in poor health and spends ten months of the year lying in bed. She has been sick for many years.

Gu Jinli originally didn't want to interfere with the affairs of Village Chief He's family. It was after Village Chief He stood on their side that he gave him an idea and asked him to help the village chief's grandma up and move around more without being completely paralyzed. , which means weak heart and lungs combined with weak muscles. Walking around more will prevent bedsores.

After village chief He told He Dacang's wife, he said a few words to his old wife, and then yelled at He Dacang: "Is Dacang okay? Is the person who is whining a man? Go away quickly, don't let that bastard Lu Gensheng beat us to it. In front of home.”

"Here we come." He Dacang's family rented a mule cart for business. Today they took the mule cart to the town, so Gu Jinli's family followed them not long after they arrived.

The Third Grandpa heard the voice of Village Chief He, and took Qi Panpan and Qi Kangping to greet Village Chief He: "The village chief is here, please go upstairs quickly. We have reserved three private rooms upstairs for you and Shangli." The chief, Shang Xiucai and the others sit there."

After hearing this, Village Chief He felt that he was very good. He laughed so hard that his teeth almost fell out: "That's good, let's go up and sit down."

He then asked He Jinsheng to hand over the congratulatory gift: "Third Grandpa, Uncle Qi, Brother Qi, this is a congratulatory gift. I wish your restaurant a prosperous business and good fortune."

Village Chief He listened very well. Look at his grandson. He is very good at talking and uses good words one after another. He is worthy of being a scholar.

Qi Kangping accepted the gift and found that Village Chief He was very generous. The gift this time included not only cloth and live chickens, but also a red envelope worth one tael of silver.

Village Chief He was bleeding profusely this time because he wanted to compare the Lu family to others and let the Gu family girl see that the person with the surname He in the village was the closest to them.

The Third Grandpa brought Village Chief He into a private room, and the waiter immediately served a table of breakfast. Unfortunately, it was a boy from the Lu family who came. Village Chief He snorted, put on an air of pretense and said tamely: "You guys are signing Those who signed the contract must work hard and not tell anyone about Yanfu Tower. If they do, they will be jailed."

Finally, he deliberately said: "Don't imitate Lu Zhudanjia!"

Lu Gensheng's eldest grandson had long been told by his grandfather that the village chief He's temper would definitely embarrass them and tell him to endure it and not lose his job because of the bad temper. There were eight people in this month. For a hundred cents, you can get a salary increase in the future.

Therefore, Lu Gensheng's grandson said with a smile: "Yes, remember it, little boy. The village chief will use it with caution."

Village Chief He hit a soft spot and was very bored, so he had to give up.

When the sun rose and the earth warmed up, several family members came. After helping with the work for more than half an hour, more and more people came to congratulate him.

Chief Shang Li, Shang Xiucai, Mr. Xia, the scribes and government officials from Silifang, and people from Xuanhufang all came.

Qin Sanlang and Luo Wu rushed to follow Jiang Jiao before the auspicious time. They also came with Zou Jiang and Xu Dexian, as well as Master Tian and Master Zheng.

Master Zheng came to send congratulatory gifts on behalf of Magistrate Zheng.

Magistrate Zheng is a member of the Zheng family, and the news about the siege of the water bandits was only known to them through the Gu family. Because of this incident, the Zheng family has gained a lot of publicity in the capital, and their status has been greatly improved.

Magistrate Xu was also kind to the Gu family. When Magistrate Zheng learned that Magistrate Xu had sent people to send congratulatory gifts to Yanfu Tower, he thought it would be better to sell well and asked his master to give congratulatory gifts.

Qi Pan did not expect that the two adults from the county government would send people to deliver congratulatory gifts. He was so happy that he hurriedly took his two sons out to greet them.

Gu Dashan and Gu Jinan also came out.

Master Zheng was really shocked when he saw Gu Jin'an and saw that he didn't look like a farmer, but rather looked like a nobleman. It seems that the Gu family has a good upbringing, otherwise it would be impossible to raise such a son.

"Brother Xu, Mr. Jiang, Master Tian, ​​you are here, come in quickly." Gu Jinan said to Master Zheng again: "Brother An pays his respects to Master Zheng."

Master Zheng was even more happy to see that Gu Jinan had good etiquette. He asked the accompanying servants to hand over the congratulatory gifts and then went to the private room upstairs.

During the dinner, I followed Gu Jinan and found that this young man was indeed good and could work. Unlike some peasant scholars who read a few books and then started pretending to be masters and stopped working. However, Gu Jinan and that Gu Dexing were doing various things. A livelihood.

Not bad.

And when Zou Jianghui came, he came specifically to thank Gu Jinli.

He avoided people and met Gu Jinli under the leadership of Qin Sanlang: "Little girl, I thank you. If it weren't for you and Sanlang, I might have been teased by Zou Youlian for the rest of my life, and it would be impossible to avenge my family. I will remember this kindness. After you live here, whenever you can be of use in the future, as long as you open your mouth, I will definitely repay you."

With that said, he bowed to Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli said: "Mr. Jiang, there is no need to be like this. If the Zou family falls, it will also be good for our family. Otherwise, with the nature of the Zou family and his son, they will definitely try their best to destroy our family. So this matter is a win-win situation, and no one needs it." Thank you to whom."

After hearing this, Zou Jiang laughed out loud: "Sanlang is indeed right, you are a very interesting little girl, but in my opinion, you are not only interesting, but you can also see clearly and live a very realistic life."

If he could live like Gu Jinli, he wouldn't be decadent for decades, let alone be teased by Zou Youlian for a lifetime because of a favor.

Realistic people live for themselves and can escape from many unnecessary mundane things.

After Zou Jiang thanked Gu Jinli, he went back to the private room upstairs and had a meal with Master Zheng and the others. During this period, I met Mr. Xia and was impressed by his literary talents. I bluntly said that it was a worthwhile experience.

In the backyard, in the side room where water chestnut powder was placed, Gu Jinli asked Qin Sanlang: "I heard that Mr. Jiang will take office with County Magistrate Xu in the future?"

Qin Sanlang nodded: "Well, this is Ming Shaoqing's intention. Zou Jiang is also happy to follow County Magistrate Xu and his family, so that he will have no worries in his later years."

Gu Jinli thought of Xu Dexian: "Magistrate Xu's son is loyal and will treat Mr. Jiang well. He will not have to worry about it in the future."

Qin Sanlang smiled, but actually he was worried. Magistrate Xu was a fisher in troubled waters. In the future, he would have to rely on Zou Jiang when he went to the capital. Zou Jiang would follow Magistrate Xu, and what he had to do was not easy at all.

However, Zou Jiang will feel very comfortable in his heart. After all, the Xu family is righteous and warm, while the Zou family is a shithole and does not do human things.
