A lucky wife born again from a farm family

He Dacang felt sorry for his younger brother because he couldn't bear the mistreatment he received from the owner of Buzhuang anymore. He wanted his father to ask Gu Jinli about opening a shop in the county town to sell spices.

Village Chief He also felt sorry for his second son, but: "What happened to the Du family today, and think about how the Gu family was bullied when they first came to the village, we have to run away quickly, lest that girl sees us and gets angry. When the time comes, don’t ask for spices for your brother, even our family’s livelihood will be cut off by that girl.”

Who is Gu Jinli? Village Chief He is afraid of someone who could kill your whole family if he gets too ruthless.

He Dacang had no choice but to follow his father.

He Jinsheng and Gu Jinan were already friends. Before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye to him: "Grandpa, dad, I'm going to tell Brother An that we will meet at the door of the restaurant later."

Village Chief He immediately said: "Hey, go ahead, let's have a better relationship with Brother An."

Then he pushed He Tongsheng: "You go too, what are you doing here? You are an ignorant thing."

He Tongsheng had no choice but to follow his eldest brother to find Gu Jinan and say goodbye to him.

Gu Jinan saw that He Jinsheng didn't look good, so he asked, "Brother Jinsheng, what's the matter with?"

He Tongsheng spoke quickly and told the story about his second uncle: "The boss of the boss is bad, and his son is also bad. Seeing that my brother Yinsheng is good at learning, he always bullies him. One time, brother Yinsheng My hands were bruised and swollen by that fat pig, but Brother Yinsheng still had to hide it from his second uncle and second aunt."

He Tong became angry and anxious, and said he wanted to take revenge on the fat pig, but Brother Yinsheng refused, saying that his family relied on his employer for a living, and if he offended the young master of his employer, his father's job would be gone, and the whole family would have to go to the northwest.

He Tongsheng had no choice but to endure it, but he secretly thought: Why are his brother and cousin so cowardly? Could it be that he really looked like his grandfather, as the villagers said?

Because the second uncle's family was bullied by the shopkeeper of Buzhuang, he was not willing to go to his second uncle's house to play.

After hearing this, Gu Jinan looked at He Jinsheng and asked: "Brother Jinsheng, does your second uncle want to open a shop? He is a bookkeeper and is half a scholar. Does he have the ability to open a shop?"

He Jinsheng's face looked a little ashamed, and He Tongsheng said quickly: "Not at all. My second uncle is a nerd, the kind of person who is boring to death. He can only deal with accounting books. He opens a shop today and has to close it tomorrow."

He Jinsheng heard the curse: "Tongsheng, shut up, how could you be so unreasonable as a senior?"

He Tongsheng hummed: "That's right, I'm telling the truth."

After hearing this, Gu Jinan said: "Since the second uncle of the He family is not suitable for opening a shop and doing business, then why does Village Chief He always want to let him open a shop? Is there no second way out in the world?"

Are you going to die in the trap of opening a shop and doing business like this?

He Jinsheng studied with Gu Jinan for a while, and he was no longer so dumb. After hearing this, he asked, "Brother An, does he have a good idea?"

Gu Jin'an said: "Your second uncle is not suitable for opening a shop, but he is suitable for working in a government office. County Magistrate Xu eliminated a group of scribes who were corrupt and perverted the law. Now Tianfu County is short of scribes, and applying for scribes does not require scholar status. You only need a scholar to be a guarantor to take the exam. If you pass the exam, you can work as a clerk in the Yamen. The last batch will be recruited before the year. If your second uncle wants to go, he should quickly find a scholar to vouch for him and take the exam."

The scribes of Da Chu inherited the system of the previous dynasty. They were not cheap, and their monthly salary was high, with enough three taels of silver.

He Jinsheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he shouted: "It's really a good idea!"

He Tongsheng acted quickly. After saying thank you to Gu Jinan, he immediately ran to find his grandfather and told Village Chief He what Gu Jinan said.

When Village Chief He heard this, he almost jumped up and banged his head and said, "Look at my brain, I'm as stupid as a pig. Why didn't I think of letting my second son become a scribe?"

They also met Magistrate Xu's son and two masters today. With this relationship, his second son's chances of getting into the government office were much greater.

Village Chief He couldn't wait any longer. For the sake of his second son, he immediately said to He Dacang: "You should drive to the county seat to find your second brother now, tell him about this matter, and ask him to take the time to study and go to the Yamen to take the scribe examination. .”

He Tongsheng: "Master, my father won't go home for the holidays?"

Come and go, even if there is a mule cart, it will be dark when we get home. Today is the winter solstice.

With a snap, Village Chief He slapped He Tongsheng in the face and said angrily: "When we celebrate festivals, we know how to celebrate festivals. Winter Solstice happens every year. What's wrong with missing it once? Your second uncle has suffered for more than ten years. He deserves it." Turned over.”

He Tongsheng was beaten and felt extremely wronged. If he had known about it, he wouldn't have come and told his grandfather about it. He should have waited for his eldest brother and the two brothers to come together.

He Dacang nodded: "Dad, I'm going to the county seat right away. I just want to make you walk home all the time."

Village Chief He said: "What a grievance. It's not the first time I'm walking home. You should go quickly. It will be dark if you don't get to the county seat."

"Hey." After hearing this, He Dacang bowed his hand to Third Grandpa, immediately left Yanfu Tower, and drove his own mule cart to the county seat.

Village Chief He found Gu Jinan, thanked him, and said cautiously: "Brother An, you are a student of Shang Xiucai. While he is in the restaurant, how about you take us to meet him and let him be a guarantor? "

Shang Xiucai was the son-in-law of Lieutenant Jiang County. With him as his guarantor, his second son would have a greater chance of becoming a scribe.

Gu Jinan did not refuse, and took the three of them back to the private room to find Shang Xiucai.

After listening to Gu Jinan's words, Shang Xiucai took a pen and paper and wrote a letter of guarantee to Village Chief He: "Take it, I hope your second son can be admitted as a scribe."

There is indeed a shortage of scribes in the county, and the second son of Village Chief He did not dare to resist after being angry with the shopkeeper for more than ten years. This shows that he is a stubborn person. Such a person can do some work of copying records, but he will not be obsessed with money. .

Village Chief He received the guarantee letter and his eyes were red with excitement. He kept saying thank you to Shang Xiucai and said all the good things he knew before he happily led his grandson and the third grandfather. I gave him a gift in return and went home.

After Village Chief He and the others left, Yuan Lizhang's family came in a mule cart, bringing many gifts. Even Yuan Lizhang's daughter-in-law came.

Gu Jinli raised his eyebrows, what did the Yuan family want to do?

When Qi Kangle learned that the Yuan family was coming, he deliberately avoided coming out. However, Yuan Li's eldest daughter-in-law was a direct person and did not see Qi Kangle. She asked Gu Jinli with a smile: "I heard that you and your cousin opened the restaurant in partnership." Where are the other two? How about calling my mother-in-law to take a look? "

Gu Jinli: "..."

Are you here to see your wife?

Chang Errui heard this anxiously and said hurriedly: "Mom, our family is just here to send gifts, and we have to rush home to worship our ancestors and celebrate the festival. If you want to see the eldest brother of the Qi family, just come back next time. Forget it today."

He originally didn't want to bring his mother here, but his mother was too smart and seemed to have noticed something, so she insisted on following him and wanted to see Sister Le. What if his mother scared Sister Le away?
